Chapter 39 Finding Someone
"Godmother, I've come to see you!"
Ye Wan arrived before Ye Wan himself, but his voice preceded him.
Grandma Cai, who was sitting in the yard sunbathing, suddenly stood up, and the old man next to her hurriedly went to help her.
"Slow down, slow down."
"My goddaughter has arrived; I've been eagerly awaiting her."
Aunt Cai had diarrhea for half the night before finally falling into a deep sleep in the latter half of the night. This morning, she was suddenly able to get out of bed.
After being sick for several months, Aunt Cai was overjoyed to be able to go out again. It was a pity that her husband wouldn't let her leave the yard, so she could only bask in the sun there.
Why did you buy so much stuff?
When Aunt Cai saw Ye Wan carrying a lot of things in large and small bags, she was stunned.
Ye Wan put the things on the table in the yard, pretending to be unhappy, "My godmother is good to me, so can't I be good to her? These are all things I bought for my godfather and godmother."
The elderly couple must be quite extraordinary to be able to produce such jewelry.
Take a gamble and your bicycle might turn into a motorcycle.
Aunt Cai smiled broadly upon hearing this.
She knew it; her judgment of people was never wrong. This girl had a good eye and was a kind-hearted child.
"Godmother looks great today, even her hair has gotten a lot darker." Ye Wan looked at Aunt Cai, it seemed that the spiritual spring water from yesterday had worked very well.
Aunt Cai touched her hair and chuckled, "It's really strange, but after you left yesterday, I suddenly felt much better, as if my illness was cured all at once. Isn't that amazing?"
At first, she thought he had food poisoning, which terrified the old man.
Ye Wan deliberately spoke with smug satisfaction, "That means I'm my godmother's lucky star. My godmother has recognized me as her daughter, and her illness has been cured."
"Hahaha, yes, yes, lucky star."
Aunt Cai was beaming with joy, her whole being radiant.
"You brought this little girl with you too?"
Her gaze fell upon Sanya sitting obediently. She had heard from the old man that Ye Wan had become a stepmother at a young age.
"Grandma," Sanya greeted sweetly.
Upon hearing the word "Grandma," Aunt Cai paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "What a good little girl."
"Grandma, my name is Qingyao, that's what Mom said," Sanya said happily.
"Qingyao? That's a good name." Aunt Cai looked at Ye Wan with admiration in her eyes.
"Has the girl been to school?"
"My family was poor, so I definitely didn't go to school. In a small town, how could a girl go to school? It's quite a rare sight. I dreamt about so many characters and such. I guess I just really wanted to study." Ye Wan made up a bunch of lies.
"You little rascal, you're clearly blessed. What's so difficult about this? I'll have your father or godfather teach you later." Aunt Cai felt happy just looking at Ye Wan.
"My godfather is a scholar?" Ye Wan feigned surprise.
Aunt Cai said disdainfully, "She only knows a few characters."
The old man, whose face was practically invisible, looked at his wife with a helpless expression, unable to shake off his smile.
It's been so long since I've seen Chunya so happy.
A foul odor suddenly wafted through the air, and Sanya covered her nose, "Mom, it stinks."
Aunt Cai was embarrassed when she heard this, "It's the neighbors shoveling out the manure again. It won't smell in a little while."
Ye Wan said, "Godmother, when I make some money, I'll rent you a nicer place."
Aunt Cai felt relieved and patted Ye Wan's hand, "Stay for dinner, let me show you my cooking."

"Two little girls, where's that young lady?"
Er Ya was sitting in front of the stall, admiring herself as she put on her hairpin, when suddenly three people came and startled her.
The three men were extremely ugly, and the one in the lead had a scar on his face.
Daya spoke up, "My mother went shopping. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Judging from the appearance of these three people, they don't seem to be here to eat noodles.
Scarface pushed the cart forward. "Your mother sets up a stall here, hasn't she paid protection money? Two taels of silver a month, hand over the money, hurry up!"
Daya frowned, then mustered her courage and asked, "What protection fee? I've never heard of it before."
"You little brat, you've obviously never heard of this, but everyone who sets up a stall on this street has to pay protection money. Do you dare not pay?"
A vegetable vendor standing nearby smiled and said, "Scarface, you're here. Take some vegetables home and eat."
"Who would eat your rotten food! Get lost!"
"Hurry up and hand over the money! Or I'll smash up your place!"
Scarface kicked the cart again, causing many bamboo bowls to fall off.
Er Ya panicked and grabbed the cart. "We have no money! You'd better leave quickly, or I'll call the authorities!"
"Hey, hurry up and go, who are you trying to scare!"
"This is a warning to you. Make that young lady pay her protection money later, or we brothers will be coming here every day."
Scarface glanced at Daya and Erya before leaving with his men.
"These people are so wicked, how could they be so evil? Uncle, did you pay protection money too?"
Er Ya picked up the bamboo bowl and, still shaken, turned to ask the vegetable vendor next to her.
The vegetable vendor said in a low voice, "Logically speaking, these people should have come when you first set up your stall. Go back and quickly find some connections. Give gifts when necessary, unless you don't want to do this business anymore."
Er Ya turned pale after hearing this. "Big sister, what do we do now?"
"Wait for Mother to come first, then go back and tell Father."

"Lin Anyuan, don't be stubborn and ask for trouble!"
Zhang Fuhu's lackeys were lying haphazardly on the ground.
Lin Anyuan's gaze was mocking as he stepped on the lackey's leg, "Then let me taste your punishment!"
"A bunch of trash, you think you can use me to curry favor with Zhang Gui with this little bit of skill?"
The lackey was in so much pain that he was sweating profusely. He hurriedly begged for mercy, "Master Lin, please be merciful. We were wrong, we were wrong. We had no choice. This was all Master Zhang's order."
He originally planned to tie Lin Anyuan up, clean him up, and send him to Master Zhang, where he was sure he would get a large reward. Who knew that Lin Anyuan, who looked so thin, was such a good fighter?
"laugh."
Just as Lin Anyuan was about to step down, he heard a sound, suddenly pulled his foot back, put on his straw hat, and quickly left.
"Where are you going? Let Grandpa block your way."
Wang Dachui looked excitedly at the two men who were wearing straw hats and trying to hide themselves.
"Excuse me, brave man," the man in the straw hat said, frowning at the person who had suddenly appeared and interrupted them.
"Brave warrior, we don't know each other, so we shouldn't have any grudges against each other, right?"
Wang Dachui's eyes lit up with excitement. This was the person his boss had mentioned. He wondered whose people he was working for. He never expected to be so lucky to run into him.
Never mind, arrest them and take them back to atone for their crimes.
"You're putting on quite a show, take this punch from Grandpa."
It took the two a lot of effort to escape from Wang Dachui. When they returned to the alley, all they found was a mess of garbage.
"Damn it! He's gone!"
