Chapter 41: New and old grudges are settled together (Part 4)
Ye Yao's voice was suppressed to the extreme. Even now, when she recalled that time, she still felt frightened.
That year, she was only five years old.
Watching Zhang Qiufeng, who was almost fainted from the fever, was filled with nothing but fear.
She didn't know how she managed to get through it. She went to the Zhao family and begged for mercy, even kneeling down in front of Wang Guihua and Zhao Qingqing, mother and daughter.
She begged them to go see her mother and save her mother, but she only remembered that six-year-old Zhao Qingqing was smiling. Wang Guihua said, "Your family has been a burden to our family for so many years. It's your mother who is not doing well. But as long as the disease is not fatal, it is not considered a disease."
Zhao Jianshe was stunned. He actually knew nothing about these things.
Although he had heard before that Wang Guihua was dissatisfied with her and her daughter and would show some temper, he had never thought it would be so serious.
"Is everything Ye Yao said true?"
He questioned Wang Guihua in a sharp voice.
Wang Guihua's face turned red, white, and then green. The ferocity on her face was gone, and she looked away guiltily.
She didn't need to answer, Zhao Jianshe had already got the answer.
The neighbors all had serious expressions. Over the past few years, under the influence of Wang Guihua and her daughter, they had gossiped a lot about Zhang Qiufeng.
But now it sounds like things are not as simple as they seem on the surface.
"Yaoyao, stop talking, it's all in the past..."
Zhang Qiufeng pleaded with Ye Yao with tears in her eyes, saying that some things cannot be said.
At this point, how could Ye Yao listen to her?
"Ye Yao, you, don't play the victim here. Have you been the only ones who have suffered all these years? I have to endure all these rumors in the compound.
He is obviously my man, but so many people point fingers at him and ruin his reputation. It’s all because of you!
I am unhappy, so what? I am venting, so what?
If you and your daughter were so strong-willed and didn't accept my family's charity, there wouldn't be so much gossip! "
Wang Guihua took a deep breath and argued in a sharp voice.
She is the "victim"! Ye Yao's eyes were deep and bottomless, and he suddenly raised his voice, "Alms, how can it be called alms? Why did your family give money to my family? Don't you know what's going on?!"
…
With an angry question, the yard suddenly became quiet.
The neighbors were even more shocked. Could there be something else going on? Wang Guihua was completely frozen, staring at Ye Yao.
What did she mean by that? Did she know about that? Impossible, absolutely impossible! When that happened, she was still a baby, and no one ever mentioned it again. And Zhang Qiufeng had sworn more than once that she would never let anyone know, including Ye Yao.
Zhao Jianshe's face was ashen. He knew that truth would eventually come out.
Ye Yao cast a contemptuous look at the couple, and the sneer at the corner of his lips gradually deepened.
It was Zhang Qiufeng who was anxious. She grabbed Ye Yao's left hand and choked with sobs.
"Yaoyao, stop talking, Mom begs you..."
"Mom, it's been eighteen years. You can handle it, but I've had enough."
Ye Yao looked at Zhang Qiufeng, with an expression that was the most sinister that Zhang Qiufeng had ever seen.
"Yaoyao..."
"Qiu Feng, let her speak."
At this time, Zhao Jianshe's suppressed voice sounded, his eyes were red, and the veins in his neck were faintly visible...
