Ye Qingqing took Ye Tong with her, gave the old lady a few more instructions on not to wander off, then got on the car and rode back as fast as she could.
Normally, it would take Ye Qingqing at least half an hour to ride twenty miles, but this time she only took twenty minutes to get Ye Tong home, drink a glass of water, and then rushed back without stopping.
She was drenched in sweat, her eyes were blurred with sweat and felt sore and dry, and her legs felt like they were filled with lead, but Ye Qingqing didn't dare to stop for a moment. She mechanically pedaled her bike and saw an old lady sitting by the roadside halfway there.
It was at least five or six miles away from the place we had agreed to meet.
This shows that the old lady was not sitting still. Fortunately, it was a straight road without any turns, otherwise she would definitely have gone astray.
"Grandma... get in the car, didn't I tell you not to move?"
Ye Qingqing was panting like a puppy, her clothes were wet, her hair was stuck to her face, and she looked very disheveled.
The old woman glared at her and said, "You ride slower than an ox; I can walk faster than you!"
Ye Qingqing felt a tightness in her chest, took a few deep breaths, and forcefully suppressed the anger that was rising within her.
I have to endure... I absolutely have to endure!
She was a vibrant young woman reborn, and she wouldn't stoop to the level of this old woman. Besides, the old woman was an ally, and they had to get along well.
"Yes...you walk faster than a dog, get in the car!"
Ye Qingqing tried to flatter her, but the old lady still glared at her fiercely. So she simply kept quiet. Even if she, a good-for-nothing, spoke eloquently, the old lady would still hear it as dog shit.
After the old lady got on the vehicle, Ye Qingqing kicked her legs a few times before slowly starting to ride. She had ridden forty li round trip and still had to ride another twenty li. Her life was truly miserable!
Ye Lan and Ye Hua, however, were inside eating popsicles and enjoying the cool breeze...
Ye Qingqing became increasingly annoyed as she thought about it. She racked her brains, trying to figure out how to stir things up so that the old lady would teach that family a lesson.
"What did your dad send me here for?" The old lady couldn't speak Mandarin, but the dialect from Ye Zhiguo's hometown was similar to that of Pingjiang City. If she spoke slowly, daily communication wouldn't be a problem.
When Ye Qingqing called the old lady, she said that Ye Zhiguo had asked her to come and stay for a while.
"Dad said you don't have meat to eat in the countryside, so he specially invited you to come to the city to eat meat."
The old lady smiled smugly, but the smile quickly vanished, and she snorted, "His wife agreed?"
The eldest son is filial, but unfortunately he's afraid of his wife. He married two wives, and they were both worse than the last.
"Grandma, Aunt Chen disagrees. She even argued with Dad about it, saying we don't have any money." Ye Qingqing's eyes darted around; her chance had come!
The old woman was convinced and gritted her teeth, cursing, "I knew that slut wouldn't agree! I'm eating meat bought by my son! If that slut dares to disagree, I'll eat meat every day..."
Because she was angry, the old lady spoke quickly and urgently, and Ye Qingqing couldn't understand a word she heard. She only heard "slutty widow," which was the nickname the old lady had given Shen Yanhong, and she always called her that behind her back.
Ye Qingqing was extremely proud and continued to fan the flames, "Grandma, Dad listens to Aunt Chen now and treats those two burdens incredibly well. Ye Hua and Ye Lan wear new clothes every day, and Xiao Tong didn't get any new clothes this year."
"Isn't Xiaotong wearing new clothes today?" The old lady wasn't so easily fooled.
"That was made by Aunt Fang for Xiao Tong. Besides, Xiao Tong is already twelve years old and still hasn't started school. Aunt Chen takes all of Dad's money to buy medicine for Ye Lan and treats for Ye Hua, but she doesn't let Xiao Tong go to school..."
While riding her bicycle, Ye Qingqing complained. Knowing that the old lady loved money, she deliberately said that Ye Zhiguo's money had been spent by Ye Lan and her brother.
