"Qianxue, we've finally found you."
Wei Shufen and Ye Zhongmin were dressed in tattered clothes, looking like refugees from famine.
"Mom and Dad, what brings you here?"
"Qianxue, we have nowhere to go and no money on us, so we can only come to you. Didn't you say that you would send money back once you found Shen Yihan?"
"Mom and Dad, let's go inside and talk."
Ye Qianxue led the two people into the house. As soon as they sat down, before they could even speak, she began to complain that if Ye Zhaozhao hadn't asked her for three hundred yuan...
She didn't have to live such a hard life, and she even told them about Gu Yunduan's promotion.
Ye Zhongmin and Wei Shufen never expected that Ye Zhaozhao would be doing so well now.
"Zhongmin, what do we do now?"
Wei Shufen was anxious. Her daughter was not doing well, and it pained her as a mother. On the contrary, that bitch Ye Zhaozhao was doing well.
"Dad, go and get the money back."
Ye Zhongmin was a smart man. He felt that Ye Zhaozhao was angry because they had treated her badly. If they treated her better now, she would definitely change her mind.
After making up his mind, Ye Zhongmin asked Ye Qianxue to invite Ye Zhaozhao to his house for dinner, insisting that Ye Zhaozhao give them money.
Ye Zhaozhao had just returned from class and was unaware of the three's plan. If she had known, she would have simply told them, "What are you thinking?"
"Jia Ning, you don't look well. Should we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"
Ye Zhaozhao saw that Xie Jianing's face was pale, and Xie Jianing shook her head.
"It's nothing, I'm just on my period, it's an old problem."
Ye Zhaozhao knew she was talking about menstrual cramps. After experiencing menstrual cramps last time, she made a pill called painkiller. This medicine can warm the meridians and promote blood circulation to relieve pain.
The older Tang Yi leaned over and winked at Xie Jianing, saying that she used to be like that too, and that the pain didn't go away after giving birth. This made Xie Jianing blush.
"Sister Tang, you're teasing me again."
"I'm not kidding you."
After the two finished talking, Ye Zhaozhao asked Xie Jianing if she wanted to take a painkiller. Xie Jianing trusted her completely and immediately nodded.
She was in so much pain that she couldn't bear it anymore. Ye Zhaozhao took out a small brown pill from her bag, which was actually from the warehouse. Xie Jianing swallowed it with water.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Xie Jianing suddenly felt that her stomach pain and backache had stopped, and she looked at Ye Zhaozhao with surprise.
"Zhao Zhao, I didn't expect your medicine to be so effective. I was thinking of asking for leave this afternoon."
Now it's all right, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore, and I can go to class normally. It's time for class.
Xie Jianing left with the lesson plan, and the others, seeing how useful it was, also wanted to ask Ye Zhaozhao for one.
The first to speak was Jiang Tong, a fellow educated youth who passed the exam with her. She also had this problem, and every time she came, she was in so much pain that she couldn't get out of bed.
"Sister Zhao Zhao, I also want to exchange one of your pills. I'll trade you candy for it."
Ye Zhaozhao wanted to say that there was no need to change it, but after looking at the people in the office, she didn't say anything.
"I'll bring it to you tomorrow; I only brought one today."
"good."
Jiang Tong has a lively and cheerful personality. Ever since she attended Ye Zhaozhao's open class, she has grown to like Ye Zhaozhao more and more.
Seeing everyone fawning over Ye Zhaozhao, Jiang Yuzhen rolled her eyes and said to Tang Yi beside her.
"Sister Tang, I'll leave the afternoon classes to you now. I'll be going now."
"Okay, go ahead."
Jiang Yuzhen swaggered away, and only after she left did Jiang Tong ask Tang Yi.
"Sister Tang, what's she doing? She's been like this a lot lately?"
"What else could he do but go on a blind date?"
Jiang Yuzhen is already twenty-three years old this year, which is considered late marriage in this era. That's why her family is getting anxious and is arranging blind dates for her.
However, Jiang Yuzhen is picky. She either finds someone too short or too ugly. She has been on several dates, but she still hasn't found anyone she likes.
"She's like this and she still criticizes others? I think it's more like others are criticizing her."
Jiang Tong was, after all, just a young girl, and she spoke her mind. However, Tang Yi also disliked Jiang Yuzhen, since she was the principal's daughter.
"Jiang Yuzhen is determined to find someone with a job in the county town. She wants to marry someone from the county town, but it's really hard to find one here."
Everyone was gossiping about Jiang Yuzhen. Principal Jiang had four sons but only one daughter, Jiang Yuzhen, so he usually doted on her.
As they chatted, it was time to leave work. Jiang Tong said goodbye to everyone and went back to the village. Ye Zhaozhao and Xie Jianing also packed up their things and went home.
Before she even got home, Ye Zhaozhao saw someone standing at her door from afar. The person who saw her as she got closer gave her a cold look.
What are you doing here?
"Sis, Mom and Dad are here and want you to come over for dinner."
Ye Qianxue wore a fake smile, and Ye Zhaozhao knew without a doubt what these three were up to—trying to gain something from her? No way.
"No, I'm not going. I'm not your sister. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll beat you up."
Ye Qianxue was genuinely afraid that Ye Zhaozhao would beat her up. During this time, Ye Zhaozhao had been eating meat every day, and not only had she gained weight, but she had also grown taller than before.
Since arriving on the island, she has not only gotten tanned but also had to take care of three children. Now that she is dark and thin, how could she possibly beat her?
Ye Qianxue left, and Ye Zhaozhao knew they wouldn't give up so easily. During dinner, she told Gu Yunduan her thoughts.
"Zhaozhao, I support you."
Military marriages require investigation before approval, so Gu Yunduan knew that Ye Zhongmin and Wei Shufen treated his wife badly.
The next day, Ye Zhaozhao went to the county town to publish a notice in the newspaper severing ties with Ye Zhongmin and Wei Shufen. As she left the newspaper office, she saw someone.
