Chapter 6 Why don't you come another day?
The next day, Yan Sui drove to Changqing Village.
She was driving Jiang Yeling's car.
She had originally planned to buy a car, but she wanted to wait until she settled on a place to live before deciding which car would be suitable.
On the way, Jiang Yeling sent a series of voice messages.
"I can't even keep up with all the cursing! Do you remember Yan Sen? He actually went online and spread rumors that you led the bullying and isolation of him in high school!"
"He's quite shrewd; he knows you're popular right now, so he's trying to ride that wave of attention."
Yan Sui raised her eyebrows; she really remembered Yan Sen.
Yan Sen was one of the impoverished students she sponsored.
She started sponsoring Yan Sen even before Fu Qingci.
He's a bit off his mind; he somehow found out she was his benefactor and suspected Yan Sui had a crush on him.
He ran up to her and said a bunch of nonsensical things.
After being rejected by her, he tried to woo her again and again without success, and even confessed his love to her in public.
Yan Sui naturally refused.
To maintain appearances, she always remained polite.
But Yan Sen interpreted her good manners as: "She likes me, she's just shy, she's absolutely in love with me."
Left with no other choice, Yan Sui had to stop providing him with financial assistance.
This angered Yan Sen, who then verbally abused her and spread rumors about her.
At the time, Yan Sui had a good reputation at school, and when she questioned Yan Sen in public, her classmates all sided with her.
This is probably what Yan Sen is referring to as "bullying" and "isolation".
"Don't be angry. Lend me your lawyer so I can gather evidence to sue him."
Jiang Yeling: "Okay! I'll contact a lawyer for you right now!"
Yan Sui parked the car at the village entrance, took her bag, and got out.
She was dressed casually today, in a simple T-shirt and jeans.
But with her naturally striking face, coupled with Jiang Yeling's understated yet luxurious car, it's hard for her to go unnoticed.
The elderly men and women sitting under the ginkgo tree at the village entrance were whispering to each other, occasionally gesturing to her.
Yan Sui knew they were talking about her even before she got close.
As soon as she got out of the car, she felt a strong surge of spiritual energy.
Yan Sui narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, gazing at the distant peaks.
It's decided, this is the place!
"Excuse me, ma'am, how do I get to Yan Shunzhong's house?"
Upon hearing this, the elderly men and women fell silent.
"who?"
"Yan, Shun, Zhong".
The older woman stood up, put her hands behind her back, and looked her up and down with a puzzled expression.
"Where are you from? What do you want with our Party Secretary?"
Yan Sui said, "My biological father is Yan Shunguo, and Yan Shunzhong is my uncle."
The woman stared in astonishment, her mouth agape.
At that moment, the old man next to him slapped his thigh.
"Yes, Yan Lao Er did have a daughter, but wasn't she given away by her own mother?"
The woman suddenly realized and repeatedly replied, "Yes, yes, yes, there is such a daughter."
But everyone says that Yan Sui was adopted by a rich man and went to the city to enjoy a life of luxury.
People strive for higher goals, so why is she looking back?
"Old Ruan, quickly take that girl to the Party Secretary's house."
Yan Sui knew that Yan Shunzhong was the Party Secretary of Changqing Village.
Aunt Ruan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright, come with me."
Yan Sui looked puzzled; it seemed this older woman had something to say to her.
Sure enough, Aunt Ruan spoke up when they were only halfway there.
"Girl, why don't you come another day?"
Yan Sui became increasingly puzzled, "Auntie, why?"
Aunt Ruan clenched her fingers, feeling conflicted, unsure whether to tell Yan Sui what had happened.
What if this girl comes all this way and scares everyone away, and the Yan family starts complaining?
“Something has happened to your uncle’s family these days.”
Through Aunt Ruan, Yan Sui learned some basic information about Yan Shunzhong's family.
After Yan Shunguo passed away, only the brothers Yan Shunzhong and Yan Shunxia remained.
Because the old lady has kidney disease, she has to go to the hospital for dialysis every week, and it costs a lot of money for medication and medical treatment every year.
But both brothers are hardworking, so they managed to get by.
The problem was that a group of children went to play at Yan Shunxia's fishpond and fell in, almost drowning.
"Almost drowned?"
Aunt Ruan sighed, "Your uncle discovered it in time and rescued him."
This really isn't Yan Shunxia's fault.
These children had been to the fishpond before. They used firecrackers to blow up the fish and tried to steal fish at night when no one was around, but Yan Shunxia caught them several times.
He first tried to negotiate with the child's parents, but the communication failed, so he called the police.
But they are all minors, so at most they can be verbally reprimanded, and they will relapse into their old ways in a few days.
Yan Sui said, "According to you, this matter shouldn't have much to do with my uncle."
Aunt Ruan shook her head. "Sigh! The child almost drowned in your uncle's fishpond. He has to pay compensation no matter what. Your uncle is willing to pay, but the child's family thinks he's not paying enough and keeps causing trouble in the village."
The boy's cousin was a local hoodlum who knew a lot of people in the underworld.
He spends all day leading a bunch of thugs to block the door.
Yan Sui then asked, "How much money do they want my uncle to pay?"
Aunt Ruan: "One million."
Yan Sui scoffed, "That's a bit bullying."
"Auntie, please take me there."
Aunt Ruan was both surprised and suspicious, wondering if Yan Sui wanted to help the Yan family pay off the debt.
After all, she looks like she has a lot of money.
The Yan Shunzhong and Yan Shunxia families lived together, with two single-story houses next to each other and a large courtyard in front.
There were seven or eight thugs blocking the empty courtyard, cigarettes dangling from their mouths, creating a smoky atmosphere.
Confronting them were the Yan family members, led by Yan Shunzhong.
Even the sick old lady was holding a spatula, looking like she was about to fight someone.
As soon as Aunt Ruan and Yan Suifu entered, they attracted everyone's attention.
"Shunzhong, this girl is here to see you."
The Yan family members stared at Yan Sui in astonishment.
Only the old woman holding the spatula suddenly reddened her eyes, recognizing her almost instantly.
With a trembling voice, she asked, "Is...is it Sui Sui? Are you Yan Sui?"
Yan Sui's name was given by Grandpa Yan.
After being adopted by Yan Zhaohua and his wife, they did not change her name.
Yan Sui nodded slightly, looking at the well-behaved girl.
"Grandma, I am Yan Sui."
The old lady immediately wiped away her tears and walked towards Yan Sui.
"My granddaughter! Old man, come and see! Our granddaughter is even more beautiful in person than in the photos!"
Yan Sui stared blankly at the hand that held hers; it was rough and calloused, but dry, thick, and warm.
When she was a child, she would sometimes envy her classmates when she was in school.
I envy their parents picking them up from school, and I envy them being able to hold hands with their parents.
As she grew older, she realized she had been too greedy.
But deep down, I still yearn for it.
Just like now, I never knew that the hands of my elders were so warm.
"Have you seen my photo?"
The old lady laughed and cried at the same time, "We've seen it. Your grandfather and I don't know how to use the internet, but your two younger brothers show us your photos when they come home on weekends."
Yan Sui pursed her lips. Her reputation online wasn't very good, and if the old man saw this, he would only be saddened.
Seeing that they had started reminiscing as if no one else was around, the blond-haired leader was not happy about it.
"What? If you don't give me an explanation, my brothers behind me won't be so polite."
After saying that, he chuckled at Yan Sui, his expression lewd and obscene.
"Otherwise, I could have her sleep with me for a few nights, and I could pay her ten or twenty thousand. That wouldn't be a bad idea."
