At Ye Beiping's urging, Tao Qiuyan went to her grandfather Ye Jianguo as soon as her old house in Pingba Village was repaired.
Because the news of Ye Beiping's return to the village spread throughout Pingba Village, when Tao Qiuyan went to see Ye Jianguo, her second uncle Ye Sheng and second aunt Jiang Enhua were also present.
Tao Qiuyan frowned as she looked at the dark, nauseatingly smelly little warehouse.
Although she really wanted to go inside to fulfill her filial duty, the unpleasant smell made her stop in her tracks. All she could see at the door was Ye Jianguo, his hair completely white, lying there listlessly.
If it weren't for the movement of the blanket, one might easily think there was a dead person lying inside.
"Sister-in-law, you're here!" Ye Sheng greeted her happily.
There was nothing they could do; rumors about Ye Beiping making a fortune and returning home, including about his car, had spread throughout the village.
Ye Sheng had gone to the village entrance to check these past few days, and indeed a car frequently came to the village.
In their eyes, anyone who can afford a car must be either very rich or a high-ranking official. And sometimes, having money doesn't necessarily mean you can buy a car; you need all sorts of complicated documents.
Tao Qiuyan glanced at the obsequious Ye Sheng and Jiang Enhua, coughed lightly, and said, "Well, it's not very convenient for me to pick up Dad here today. Why don't we let him spend the New Year with us?"
He spoke very calmly.
She was just doing what a daughter-in-law should do, and she didn't want to think about anything else.
Even though Ye Beiping's father was gone, Tao Qiuyan was still Ye Jianguo's daughter-in-law.
To prevent Ye Beiping and her siblings from being gossiped about and talked about in the village, she stepped forward and took on this responsibility.
Ye Sheng was taken aback by these words. He glanced instinctively at Jiang Enhua beside him, unsure how to respond.
Jiang Enhua frowned, her mind racing.
Now that Ye Beiping has made money, he just got back and said he wanted to take the old man away. If there wasn't something else going on, Jiang Enhua definitely wouldn't believe it.
Everyone in the village knows what kind of person the old man was to their family. Now, Tao Qiuyan is actually repaying evil with kindness by coming to their door to take them away.
Moreover, if they were taken away, how would their family curry favor with Ye Beiping's family? How would they get some money from Ye Beiping? You know, the whole family can't even afford meat once a month, and they're all craving it.
Ye Jianguo, who was inside the warehouse, faintly heard Tao Qiuyan's words. His eyes instantly brightened, as if he were experiencing a final burst of energy before death. He struggled to raise his hand and stammered, "Uh... oh..."
Because of a stroke, he can't speak clearly now.
Tao Qiuyan also noticed Ye Jianguo's actions, and looked at Ye Sheng with pursed lips: "So? Do you agree?"
She had originally wanted to mention the conditions Ye Beiping had set, but now Ye Shenglian was even hesitant to ask her to pick up the person, which put her in a difficult position.
Just then, Ye Beiping, who had been hiding in the shadows, came out when he saw that it was about time.
"Mom, since they don't want to, let's go."
Everyone turned to look and saw that it was Ye Beiping who had come over. Ye Sheng and Jiang Enhua's hesitant expressions instantly turned into fawning.
"Beiping, it's been a long time."
"Yes, Beiping. I heard you're doing well in Hangzhou."
...
Looking at the two disgusting faces, Ye Beiping remained calm on the surface, but was inwardly disgusted.
"Mom, let's go." Ye Beiping pulled Tao Qiuyan and started to leave.
Tao Qiuyan, who was being pulled along, was reluctant to leave Ye Jianguo in the warehouse. In the end, seeing that her son had used some effort, she could only grit her teeth and leave first.
She had come here with her son's support, but now that he said he wanted to leave, Tao Qiuyan could only sigh and follow him.
That's how it is in the countryside; the man of the house is the one who has the final say. Even though Tao Qiuyan is Ye Beiping's mother, she still has to give her face in public.
Once you get married and have children, you become the head of the household.
Ye Sheng and Jiang Enhua were completely taken aback when Ye Beiping and her son left so suddenly. Jiang Enhua, realizing what had happened, quickly gave Ye Sheng a meaningful look.
If we don't get rid of Ye Jianguo, this hot potato, now, when will we?
If Ye Beiping doesn't take care of it, it will be impossible to get rid of it later, and it will end up stuck in his hands.
Even arranging funeral arrangements requires a considerable amount of money, and Jiang Enhua doesn't even want to spend that money now.
Ye Sheng received the look and immediately stepped forward to block Ye Beiping's way: "Beiping, what are you saying? Taking your grandfather to celebrate the New Year, how could I disagree? Your second uncle is just worried about troubling you since your grandfather can't move right now."
When it comes to speaking, Ye Sheng is impeccable.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to fool Ye Beiping's father and Tao Qiuyan so completely that Tao Qiuyan never realized it was Ye Sheng who was behind it all until her death.
We also need to send things to Ye Jianguo and his family every year.
Ye Beiping sneered and continued Ye Sheng's words: "Indeed, Second Uncle has considered things very carefully, so our family is just here to be polite. Second Uncle, please don't mind."
The three people who heard this were extremely surprised.
Tao Qiuyan, in particular, was not very cunning to begin with, and upon hearing this, she immediately wanted to refute it.
That's not what we said before.
Ye Beiping knew his mother's personality, so he could only give her a comforting look to prevent her from speaking.
But Ye Sheng and Jiang Enhua were getting anxious.
Jiang Enhua immediately stepped forward and said, "Beiping, that's not what your mother said. She said she was going to take your grandfather to celebrate the New Year. Why did she change her mind?"
She knew that Ye Xiaohui would bring food to Ye Jianguo on weekdays, but she didn't care if word got out that she was starving her old man to death, so she just let Ye Xiaohui bring it.
