The two sisters, Su Xinyi and Su Xinwan, finished a pot of chicken soup and a plate of braised pork in half an hour.
Looking at the empty pots and plates, Ye Beiping smiled.
If he weren't currently renting a place, he would definitely cook delicious meals for Su Xinyi himself.
"Ye Beiping, find a place to live as soon as possible these next few days..."
Ye Beiping could hear the disappointment and loss in Su Xinyi's tone.
It was obvious that Su Xinyi and Min Yuehua had a major battle tonight. Ye Beiping, who really wanted to suggest living together, pursed his lips and didn't voice his thoughts.
After all, he himself is currently living in hotels and has no fixed abode, which is certainly not safe for Su Xinyi who is pregnant.
If Su Xinyi stays at my home, she'll just get nagged a bit, but at least she'll be safe.
Ye Beiping glanced at Su Xinyi's belly and nodded emphatically, "Don't worry, Xinyi, we'll definitely find someone within a week."
"So long?" Su Xinyi frowned slightly.
Su Xinwan, who was standing next to her, was also a little confused. Why was it taking so long to find a house?
"Um."
Ye Beiping nodded and explained, "We can't just stay in a house for a few days, right? Our baby is due soon, so we need to prepare in advance, do some renovations, and get everything ready. A week is already quite rushed."
"Okay... alright." Su Xinyi was a little reluctant, but thinking of the child, she agreed.
Everything revolves around the child; that's the difference between a young girl and a mother.
Hearing their conversation, Su Xinwan stared wide-eyed at Su Xinyi's stomach. It was indeed quite swollen; anyone who didn't know better would think she'd eaten too much.
After Ye Beiping packed up and left, the two sisters strolled around the neighborhood. Although night had fallen, it was fortunate that they were still in the neighborhood.
The dark roads outside this area are unsafe, and many people who can't afford to eat turn to crime.
Su Xinwan suddenly stopped and looked at her older sister, Su Xinyi, asking, "Sis, are you having a baby? Am I going to be an aunt?"
I haven't even finished my childhood yet, and I never imagined I'd be going to be an aunt so soon.
Hearing this, Su Xinyi felt a warm glow in her heart. She always felt that children were hope and the future, and replied with a smile, "Yes, you can help me take care of my child in the future. When the child grows up, you can proudly tell him that you were raised by your aunt, and that he should be good to his aunt and buy her delicious food."
Upon hearing this, Su Xinwan suddenly felt that it might not be impossible.
He asked very seriously, "Is this okay?"
Looking at her silly younger sister, Su Xinyi covered her mouth and laughed: "Of course you can."
Having a family member who supports her and accepts the child made Su Xinyi smile, but tears welled up in her eyes.
"Okay, okay."
Su Xinwan skipped around and laughed, "Then I'll take care of him from now on. When he grows up, he can buy me delicious food and new clothes. That would be great."
Looking at her younger sister, who was still at an innocent age, Su Xinyi was very envious.
Before long, she would become a mother, and the pressure on her shoulders suddenly became heavy.
The two sisters took a walk around the neighborhood to digest their food. By the time they got home, it was already past seven o'clock.
Upon entering the living room, they found that Min Yuehua was not there.
Su Xinwan then asked, "Dad, where's Mom?"
"Oh, he went out with Xiaoze." Su Qingwen then looked at Su Xinyi, pursed his lips and said, "Xinyi, can you chat with Daddy for a while?"
"Mmm." Su Xinyi was about to go back to her room, but upon hearing her father's words, she obediently nodded.
After inviting his two daughters to sit down, Su Qingwen remained troubled for a long time.
A few minutes later, he finally spoke and asked, "Is that Ye... Ye Beiping good to you?"
Although they had only met once, Ye Beiping's name was still easy to remember.
Moreover, as a scholar, Su Qingwen had a more distinctive and vivid memory of the name Beiping.
Kyoto was formerly known as Beiping.
Su Xinyi nodded slightly: "You're very good to me."
"That's good, that's good."
Su Qingwen was relieved to see that Su Xinyi didn't seem to be covering for Ye Beiping.
"The money you took out this afternoon, was it earned by Ye Beiping himself, or by his family... or his ancestors?" Su Qingwen was afraid that Su Xinyi wouldn't understand what he meant, so he simply explained.
I want to know if Ye Beiping is truly capable or just a spoiled brat blessed by his ancestors.
Upon hearing this, Su Xinyi frowned anxiously: "Dad, Ye Beiping's family isn't well-off either. His mother often goes to her parents' home to borrow food, and his father passed away a long time ago, sacrificing his life in the fight against the floods."
"I also have an older sister who didn't choose to get married because of her family."
In order to prevent Su Qingwen from thinking that Ye Beiping was a spoiled brat, Su Xinyi basically revealed all of Ye Beiping's family background.
Su Qingwen was also shocked. He hadn't expected Ye Beiping's family environment to be so terrible. He even admired Ye Beiping's father, who could be considered a hero.
If someone had died fighting the flood, it would have been in the newspapers long ago if it happened in the city.
However, thinking of the stack of ten-yuan notes he received that afternoon, he hesitated again, wondering if Ye Beiping would do anything illegal or disorderly.
"Then, that money?"
This question also piqued Su Xinwan's curiosity, and she stared intently at her sister.
Su Xinwan felt that this issue was also very important to her. If she had a rich brother-in-law, she could ask him for help with anything in the future.
There's no need to ask our parents anymore.
Su Xinyi quickly explained, "He earned it himself."
"You earned it yourself?" Su Qingwen was shocked, his eyes widening. "How much did you earn? How did you earn it?"
As an office worker, although the overall salary in Hangzhou is relatively high, who would complain about having too much money?
With their large family to support, including elderly parents and young children, the couple's combined salary of just over one hundred yuan is enough to eat and drink, but it's not enough to afford meat at every meal.
After all, money is needed for social obligations, children's school expenses, and the future wedding of one's son.
Su Xinyi pursed her lips, knowing that Su Qingwen wouldn't give up until he got to the bottom of things today.
So she simply recounted how Ye Beiping made money, which was also Ye Beiping's own account.
After listening, Su Qingwen fell into deep thought.
Su Xinwan, who was standing next to her, exclaimed, "Wow, that's amazing!"
Hearing her younger sister praise her, Su Xinyi was very happy.
At the very least, no one believed that Ye Beiping was engaging in speculation and profiteering.
After a long silence, Su Qingwen finally spoke: "I didn't realize someone from the countryside could have such a brain."
Just as Su Xinyi was about to retort, Su Qingwen immediately waved his hand and said, "I don't mean to look down on rural areas. It's just that Ye Beiping may not be highly educated, but he's quite smart. He was able to save a state-owned factory, which is a great achievement."
“I’m not taking this money unjustly. I can earn more than 5,000 yuan in just half a month. I feel ashamed of myself.”
At this moment, Su Qingwen admired him more and more.
He only earns a thousand or so yuan a year, while Ye Beiping earns four or five years' worth of his salary in just half a month.
