Ling Jin naturally heard what the young man said to the person in the car. At this moment, the person was being helped out of the car.
Ling Jin was still surprised when she saw the person: Isn't this Aunt Gu Jiahui?
No wonder, that young man also mentioned Aunt Hui, I thought it was just someone with the same name.
When Ling Jin was in the Ye family, Aunt Hui was still in the Gu family. She had met Aunt Hui at occasional family gatherings.
Besides, given the relationship between the Gu and Ye families, they must have interacted before.
That's why Ling Jin was able to recognize Aunt Hui, who had aged considerably, at a glance. After all, for everyone, more than twenty years had truly passed.
While Ling Jin was still in surprise, the young man helped Aunt Hui stand in front of her:
"Big sister, do you know where Ye Xinghua lives? Could you take us there?" she asked.
"I know, I know, it's over there. I'm going there too, let's go together."
"Oh, really? What a coincidence!"
Indeed, sometimes it really is just that coincidental!
"Grandma, let me help you."
"This is troublesome."
The village at that time didn't have the asphalt roads of later generations; it was all dirt roads, some even mixed with stones, making it very uneven.
Aunt Hui is a few years older than the old man. After all, she was to be the old lady's dowry maid, so she certainly couldn't be a naive young girl.
Normally, things are handled properly at the manor, which is fine for Aunt Hui, but it's really difficult in this small mountain village.
Ling Jin helped Aunt Hui up. Fortunately, the village committee was not far from the Ye family's house, only two houses away. Standing here, they could clearly see the gate of the Ye family's courtyard.
Upon arriving at the Ye family's gate, the young man, with his sharp eyes, spotted the old man sitting in the main room directly opposite:
"Aunt Hui is here, Grandpa is right there."
"Oh? We've arrived already?"
The noise at the door immediately caught the attention of the old man's bodyguards:
"Grandpa, Xiao Bin has arrived."
Xiao Bin was the Gu family's personal driver, hired specifically to pick up and drop off Grandma Hui at the manor, so the bodyguards must recognize him.
"Did Ahui pick you up?"
The bodyguard pointed outside the courtyard, and the old man looked in that direction and indeed saw the person being supported by Xiao Bin.
This wasn't just seen by the old man and his group; Xiao Jiu and Xiao Tuanzi also saw it.
"Grandma Hui."
"Grandma Hui."
The two little ones shouted excitedly, their voices so loud that they alerted the people in the kitchen.
"Grandma Hui is here."
Xia Hong took a great liking to the old man in the manor and had already stood up from behind the stove.
"I'm going to see Grandma Hui."
After Xia Hong left, Ye Wanying controlled the fire:
"Mother, let's go over there too."
Mother Ye nodded: "Okay, let's go, let's go, hurry up."
The mother and daughter walked out of the kitchen, and Mr. Ye, who had gone to gather firewood, also returned.
"Old Ye, an old lady from our in-laws' family has arrived. Brush the dust off your clothes and let's go over and meet her."
The people in the small mountain village are very hospitable. No matter what they are doing, they will go to see the guests first, otherwise they will be considered impolite.
Mr. Ye quickly brushed the dust off his clothes from handling the firewood and asked his daughter:
"Girl, is there still an old lady at the Gu family's place?"
Madam Gu is not...
Ye Wanying didn't even need to say anything; her mother explained. After all, wasn't she once the second daughter-in-law of the Ye family?
"It was part of Madam Gu's dowry back then, but over the years the Gu family has never treated us like outsiders and has long since treated us as family."
