Sister Wang was also very satisfied with Aunt Lu. She seemed like an honest and kind person. It didn't matter that she wasn't good at talking; she didn't like those who were glib and smooth-talking anyway. Being bad at talking meant that she was sincere.
Seeing that Aunt Lu looked pale and her stomach was rumbling, Ye Qingqing guessed that she probably hadn't eaten dinner. Migrant workers who come to the city to work often have to save money from their meals, which is quite sad.
"Grandma Wang, let me go buy you some late-night snacks."
Ye Qingqing asked deliberately. Sister Wang was about to say she wasn't hungry, but Ye Qingqing winked at her, and she immediately realized, "I'm actually hungry. Go buy me some, and buy a lot!"
"No need, I have canned fruit..."
Before Grandpa Ma could finish speaking, Sister Wang gave him a reproachful look, and he immediately shut up, even though he didn't understand why he couldn't speak.
Ye Qingqing smiled to herself. This couple was quite interesting. Maybe they could even have a wedding banquet after they were discharged from the hospital!
She returned the old bowls and chopsticks and ordered some more food, all real meat dishes and rice. The workers ate a lot, and judging from Aunt Lu's appearance, she probably hadn't eaten for several meals.
She took the food back with her, but Sister Wang only glanced at it before saying she was full from eating bananas.
"Xiao Lu, if you can eat it, then eat it. It's such a waste to throw it away," Sister Wang said to Aunt Lu.
Aunt Lu glanced at the abundant food, including braised pork and lion's head meatballs, which smelled delicious. Her mouth watered, and she felt even hungrier. When she heard that Sister Wang was going to throw it away, she felt heartbroken and quickly said, "It's a waste to throw it away. I'll eat it."
However, she wasn't stupid. Halfway through the meal, she realized that there was braised pork and lion's head meatballs, none of which were for a patient. It was obvious that they had bought them for her. This family was beautiful and kind-hearted; she had met a benefactor.
Two large plates of vegetables and a large bowl of rice were eaten clean by Aunt Lu, with not a drop of soup left. She had been in the city for almost a week and only had ten yuan on her, which her family had managed to scrape together. She was reluctant to spend it and ate only one steamed bun a day with tap water.
She felt embarrassed to freeload at her fellow villagers' homes, so she always said she had already eaten out. At home, she would eat three big bowls of rice, but now she could only eat one steamed bun. She was so hungry that she was seeing stars. After eating this, she immediately felt fully revitalized and full of energy.
Ye Qingqing took the porcelain cup home. Ye Mingcheng was tutoring Wuchen with his homework, his voice hoarse and his eyes dark.
"Wuchen, this problem is actually the same as the one I just explained. Try to solve it using the same approach you just used."
Ye Mingcheng said weakly, "I can't be happy anymore. Qingqing is right. Studying means suffering. There's no such thing as a happy education. Even someone as good-tempered as him has almost wanted to punch Wuchen's bottom these past few days."
That's absolutely infuriating.
Wuchen pouted, wanting to argue, but glancing at Ye Mingcheng's increasingly haggard face, she decided to let her father go. Otherwise, she might get so angry that she would kick the ground and lose her father.
"Dad, go get some water. I'll make it myself."
Wuchen urged everyone to leave, and Ye Mingcheng also wanted to get some fresh air. He was afraid he would lose control if he continued teaching. Sigh, being a teacher is really a tough profession.
As soon as Ye Qingqing entered the door, she saw the two men with long faces and secretly gloated. This was the bitter fruit she had sown herself. Ye Mingcheng had been so carefree before, but now he was tasting the bitter fruit!
"What's in your box?" Ye Mingcheng asked curiously, looking at the box in Ye Qingqing's hand, which looked like an antique.
