Just as the two were talking, a voice came from behind them.
"elder brother."
Um?
A voice that Ye Beiping was extremely familiar with, and it was a woman's voice.
In Pingba Village, I bullied quite a few girls, from women in their thirties to teenage girls.
Ye Beiping had seen at least half of the pretty girls in Pingba Village bathe, if not all of them. He even remembered what birthmarks or writings they had.
It's not that someone came looking for me at this time...
Thinking of this, Ye Beiping turned his head and saw that it was actually... Ye Xiaohui?
My cousin?
While feeling relieved, I also felt a bit resentful.
Ye Beiping knew his grandfather's family all too well, and he knew that Ye Xiaohui's visit was definitely not for anything good.
Seeing that Ye Beiping ignored her, Ye Xiaohui gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, gritted her teeth, and said, "Brother, can we talk?"
Ye Beiping could no longer pretend he hadn't heard this.
If you speak to him face-to-face and then pretend you don't hear him, rumors will probably spread in Pingba Village that Ye Beiping ignores everyone once he's made money.
Although he didn't care, his mother and sister still had to live their lives.
"Just tell me what's on your mind."
Although Ye Xiaohui didn't scheme against her own family like others, he didn't have a good impression of anyone from his second uncle's family.
Who knows if Ye Xiaohui was just a child back then, or if she'll still be as wicked as she was when she grew up?
Seeing Ye Beiping's indifferent face, Ye Xiaohui's eyes suddenly reddened.
"elder brother......"
"Don't call me brother. Your brother's name is Ye Dongnan, and my name is Ye Beiping. I'm not your brother," Ye Beiping directly corrected Ye Xiaohui.
Wu Guangfa, who was standing nearby, couldn't bear to watch any longer. He sighed and said softly to Ye Beiping, "Xiao Hui is quite pitiful. Ever since you left Pingba Village and your grandfather was discharged from the hospital, she has been working in the fields every day."
"It seems that in order to support your cousin's education, your grandfather's family wanted to marry Xiaohui off to a family in town. If she weren't so young, she probably would have been married off long ago."
oh?
Ye Beiping raised an eyebrow, but what did this have to do with him?
Even if Ye Xiaohui hadn't gone astray, given her second uncle Ye Sheng's personality, if Ye Xiaohui married into a wealthy family, she would probably still become a bloodsucker.
Ye Xiaohui would definitely not have a good life in her husband's family if that happened.
However, after Wu Guangfa mentioned it, Ye Beiping had some recollection of it. In his previous life, someone had indeed told him that Ye Xiaohui eventually married into a town.
Unfortunately, life wasn't easy.
In any case, he had never seen Ye Xiaohui in the decades since he was released from prison.
Let alone Ye Xiaohui, even if he saw Ye Dongnan, he would turn around and walk away without even glancing at him. At that time, he was thinking about how to take revenge on that family, but in his previous life, he had accomplished nothing and had no ability.
Now that he had the power, Ye Beiping didn't cause trouble for that family; instead, Ye Xiaohui came knocking on his door.
At this moment, Ye Xiaohui couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears, sobbing, "Waaah, brother."
In her memory, Ye Beiping was not like this when she was a child. Before her uncle's accident, he was very caring towards her.
Ye Beiping would almost always fulfill any desire Ye Beiping had.
"Stop, stop, stop." Ye Beiping hated it when girls cried; it annoyed him the most.
Helpless, he could only walk to the side, wanting to see what tricks Ye Xiaohui was up to.
Seeing this, Wu Guangfa didn't say anything and continued to stand in place to supervise the work: "You all need to be quick and efficient. The whole family in Beiping is waiting to move in."
Walking to a field ridge about 100 meters away, there was a vast expanse of yellow earth. If only it snowed, it would be a beautiful sight.
Seeing Ye Xiaohui follow him, Ye Beiping stopped and asked coldly, "Speak, what is it? Let's make it clear first, don't bring up borrowing money or anything like that. You should know why."
Ye Xiaohui, biting her lip, suddenly started sobbing again: "Brother, can you help me? I... I don't want to get married."
Get married?
Ye Xiaohui is only sixteen or seventeen years old now, how come she's already married?
It's not allowed by law either.
But considering the rural areas of that era, where legal awareness was weak, even if people knew the legal age for marriage, it wasn't uncommon for them to get married a few years earlier.
We'll fix it later.
There are quite a few people who live their whole lives without even a marriage certificate.
Seeing that Ye Beiping remained unmoved, Ye Xiaohui could only plead again: "Brother, you were the best to me when we were little, can you help me?"
hehe!
Ye Beiping could only sneer at this.
I know I've been good to her, but how has that family treated me all these years?
"cannot."
The cold tone made Ye Xiaohui feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and she trembled all over.
But she still asked, unwilling to give up, "Why, brother? Do you want me to marry a scoundrel?"
How could my cousin, who has always been so good to me since I was little, turn out like this?
Ye Beiping stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Ye Xiaohui with icy eyes, and said, word by word, "Isn't it good to get married? No matter what, you can still eat and dress warmly, right?"
"I..." Ye Xiaohui was instantly silenced.
He then gave a bleak smile. He could tell from what happened at the hospital last time that Ye Beiping probably wouldn't help him at all.
But who would be willing to help them?
Ye Beiping didn't want to see Ye Xiaohui's tearful face anymore, so he turned and left, leaving behind the words: "Don't think I'll help you. Not taking back what belonged to our family is already the most merciful thing I can do."
