Gao Dan carried her silly son in one hand and held Xiao Jiu's hand in the other, with Chen Xi, who idolized her, walking ahead of her. Ye Wanying and Ling Jin lagged a few steps behind. The mother and daughter must have something to say to each other. Gao Dan, with her high emotional intelligence, naturally understood this long ago.
"With Uncle Ye's arrival, my mother... Aunt Zheng, could you please talk to her?"
Ultimately, they were still worried that Ye's mother was feeling uncomfortable and was keeping it bottled up, which could cause health problems.
Ling Jin nodded, but her face remained calm, with a hint of a smile in her eyes.
“Yingying, you underestimate your mother. She’s much more capable than me. This little thing won’t affect her at all. Ye Lao Er has long been forgotten by your mother.”
Putting everything else aside, Ling Jin and Ling Wei grew up together and are also blood-related cousins, so they can more or less guess each other's thoughts.
If Ling Wei were any weaker, how could she have dumped the dignified Second Master of the Ye family back then? And even taken her own daughter and fled from the Ye family?
If he had been any weaker in character, this would never have happened in the first place.
Ye Wanying nodded, not denying it.
Seeing her daughter like this, Ling Jin's smile remained unfurled.
"Alright, don't worry. Ye Lao Er is just having some psychological issues and is trying to compensate your mother. This does show that he has low emotional intelligence, but it's the most he can do. He doesn't have any other bad intentions. Let him be. Nobody can control that kind of person."
"All right."
Indeed, Uncle Ye is not someone that just anyone can control. Even his own father can only keep Uncle Ye in check. But if you really want to control him, how come there has been no progress after all these decades?
......
The Ye family.
Mr. and Mrs. Ye have already started talking, and now they are busy in the kitchen.
In the countryside, there's nothing to do except work in the fields. Since they had nothing else to do, the elderly couple slowly began preparing dinner.
When Ye Wanying and her group returned, Ye's mother greeted them as usual:
"You're back? I don't know how to make this thing either. That kid just brought it over."
Upon closer inspection, the bucket was filled with several loaches swimming around, weighing at least two or three pounds. They were small, but that didn't stop them from being delicious when cooked.
Ye Wanying's eyes lit up:
"I'll do it!" The voice was filled with excitement.
Fried loach, stir-fried loach, spicy loach, braised loach... and so on... these cooking methods immediately come to mind.
Ye Wanying was practically drooling.
Looking at it this way, it only weighs two or three pounds. After cutting it open and cooking it, there won't be much left. There are quite a few people eating now, so if there's any left...
"Mom, who did you just say brought this?"
Mother Ye, peeling potatoes, said, "Three potatoes, you forgot?"
"Oh, little mute."
"Don't talk nonsense. The child used to be able to speak, but his parents died, and he only has a sickly grandmother at home who has a fever and can't speak."
"Mom, I didn't mean anything by it. I just suddenly remembered someone. Let me describe him and I'll go find him first to see if he still lives there."
Mother Ye raised her head and glanced into the bucket:
"Isn't that enough?"
Ye Wanying shook her head:
"It's not enough, so I'll go see if he has any more. Oh, Mom, did you give him the money?"
The little mute boy's family was too poor, and Ye Wanying couldn't bear to eat their food.
Mother Ye laughed:
"They gave us five catties of rice and some vegetables."
Actually, this wasn't the first time that child had brought things over.
