The old lady was also somewhat surprised, "This old lady from the Ye family has backbone, she's better than her son!"
Ye Qingqing nodded. Although the old lady was a bit eccentric, she had sound values, was hardworking, and didn't covet what others had. If Ye Zhiguo had half of the old lady's good qualities, he wouldn't have done so many bad things!
"Take Xiaotong to visit Grandma Ye during the New Year. After all, she's Xiaotong's grandmother and treats her very well. Let's keep things separate," the old lady instructed.
"Yes, I'll go in the first month of the lunar calendar. Actually, Ye Zhiguo's brothers are also very honest and kind. He's the only bad one in the whole family," Ye Qingqing said resentfully.
It is said that bad bamboo produces good shoots, but there are also good bamboos that produce bad shoots, and Ye Zhiguo is a clear example.
After breakfast, Ye Qingqing rushed to Fuai Road. Her injuries were healing quickly and were slowly recovering, but the layers of gauze wrapped around her made her look a bit shocking, attracting many people's attention along the way.
Lu Mo accompanied her. Ever since the incident, Lu Mo had made Ye Qingqing call him to report wherever she went, and he had to accompany her no matter when!
"Qingqing, what's wrong with you? Oh dear... did you run into robbers?" Zhaodi's mother walked over carrying a vegetable basket, looking at Ye Qingqing with surprise and curiosity in her eyes.
There were also a few other middle-aged women, all of whom lived in the alleys near Fuai Road and were very close to Zhaodi's mother.
"I accidentally fell off my bike. My auntie said something really funny: 'What kind of robber would come and rob a poor student like me?'"
Ye Qingqing didn't want to talk to this group of loudmouths, so she made up an excuse on the spot.
"That's not necessarily true. You're pretty, so the robbers might not rob you of your money, but only... uh... why did your grandma suddenly go back to her hometown? And she brought Ye Hua with her, with lots of bags and packages."
Zhao Di's mother originally wanted to say "sexual assault," but under Lu Mo's cold gaze, she swallowed those two words and changed the subject.
"Of course we have to go back to our hometown for the Chinese New Year!"
Ye Qingqing chatted haphazardly for a few minutes before hurrying back home. Behind her, Zhao Di and the others looked on with curiosity, feeling that something serious must have happened in the Ye family. The male head of the household, Ye Zhiguo, hadn't returned yet, leaving his mother to take her burdened grandson back to their hometown alone—something was clearly not right!
Ye Qingqing found the key under the loose bricks by the gate. The house was spotless, and none of the original furniture had been taken. However, the chickens and some salted meat in the yard were gone.
The chicken coop was cleaned up, and all traces of the old lady's presence were wiped away. If it weren't for the thriving vegetables in the flower bed, Ye Qingqing would have thought that the old lady had never been there at all.
The old lady and Ye Hua took all their clothes and quite a few things with them. I don't know how the old lady and the child managed to leave. Knowing the old lady's personality, she definitely wouldn't have called a taxi.
Ye Qingqing sighed, grabbed a few changes of clothes, locked the door, and planned to come back to stay after the New Year. However, she didn't know if she could persuade the old lady and Gu Nianci.
The Sang family treated her very well, but no matter how good they were, it was still someone else's home. She still wanted to live in her own home and live freely with Xiaotong.
Three days after the exam, Ye Qingqing went to school to pick up her report card. Although the exam was fraught with difficulties, her grades were not affected. She ranked 92nd in the whole school, which met her expectations.
Tang Yuanyuan's grades are also very good, ranking 165th in the whole school. Compared to her previous position at the bottom of the school, her current grades have surprised all the teachers and students.
