Chapter 11: The Toad Wants to Eat the Swan's Flesh (XI)
Zhang Qiufeng was shocked when she saw Ye Yao covered in mud.
He was fine when he went out.
"Yaoyao, what happened?"
"Mom, please get me a basin of water."
Ye Yao took off his dirty clothes first, and then began to wash himself.
Looking at the water in the basin that quickly turned turbid, his eyes deepened.
But when she was in such a miserable state, she met that man.
I'm afraid that even without her saying anything, Li Cheng will soon end the engagement.
In fact, she really didn't understand why the original Ye Yao suddenly went to the Li family and asked them to fulfill the engagement. All the memories in her mind were complete, except for this incident, which left no clues.
This in itself is abnormal.
"Yaoyao?"
Zhang Qiufeng's worried questioning interrupted Ye Yao's thoughts. She raised her head and looked at her, with water droplets on her face.
"Yaoyao, what happened?"
Zhang Qiufeng couldn't stand seeing Ye Yao in such a state of embarrassment. Every time she acted like this, it was definitely because she had been bullied outside.
Ye Yao took the towel from her hand and wiped himself clean first.
"Mom, do you know why I went to the Li family?"
Zhang Qiufeng was obviously stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyes guiltily.
"do not you remember?"
Ye Yao shook his head. "After I fell into the water, there are some things I can't remember clearly."
Zhang Qiufeng felt relieved when she heard her say that.
"You've been living a hard life with me these years, and you're not young anymore, so you thought of this engagement... It's all my fault, I should have stopped you at the time."
Ye Yao frowned, not knowing why she always felt that she was hiding something from her.
"Well, I've already prepared the meal. Wash up and go eat."
Zhang Qiufeng took the initiative to end the topic and turned into the house.
After a moment, Ye Yao looked at the two boiled eggs in the bowl with a surprised look.
She knew the situation at home. It was good enough to have food to eat, let alone a luxury like eggs.
Zhang Qiufeng called her, peeled the egg and handed it to her.
"Eat quickly."
"Where did the eggs come from?"
Before opening his mouth, Ye Yao still felt that he should ask clearly.
"I just went out and bought it specially for you."
She didn't eat much last night, and went out for a run in the morning, saying she wanted to lose weight. Zhang Qiufeng felt uneasy about this abnormal behavior.
"Did you touch the betrothal money?"
Ye Yao's cheeks tightened. Although he was asking, his tone was completely affirmative.
Zhang Qiufeng lowered her head and peeled another egg, looking as if she had done something wrong.
She had not dared to touch the betrothal money before, thinking that she would have to return it to the Li family sooner or later. However, Ye Yao had said so firmly last night that she would never cancel the engagement, so she spent some of it today, but only bought a few eggs.
Although Zhang Qiufeng didn't say anything, Ye Yao understood immediately.
"Mom, I'll just eat one, you can eat that one."
Although many of the old lady's ideas and practices were incompatible with her, her kindness to her was unquestionable.
Zhang Qiufeng was flattered. You know, Ye Yao usually ignored anything delicious at home. This was definitely the first time he thought of her like this.
But soon she became worried again. In the past few days since she fell into the water, this girl's temper seemed to have become a different person. This was too abnormal.
"I've already eaten, leave me alone and eat by yourself."
