Ye Hua and the old lady ate their meal in silence, both deep in thought. Ye Hua, in particular, had indescribable feelings. He used to hate Ye Qingqing, but now... he was grateful.
When he tried to commit suicide, he really didn't want to live anymore and only wanted to be free. But now that he's been saved, he's filled with fear and can't understand how he had the courage to drink such a large bottle of glass water.
He heard from his grandmother that it was Ye Qingqing who contacted Meng's Hospital; otherwise, he wouldn't have survived. Moreover, the medical fees were waived, which was a great favor that saved his life.
Ye Hua felt increasingly uneasy. He drank a few mouthfuls of millet porridge, which was fragrant and mellow, but he found it tasteless.
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat somber; no one spoke, only the sound of the two chewing.
"Thanks……"
A voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz sounded, and Ye Qingqing was stunned for a moment, not realizing who it was. But when she saw Ye Hua looking down uncomfortably, she realized that it was this guy thanking her.
"Did you take some kind of mute drug? You're so small, who can hear you!"
The old lady got angry and slapped her hard across the face, making a loud thud that even Ye Qingqing felt pain.
Ye Hua touched his forehead, but didn't feel any pain. He was used to it. If he didn't get scolded and hit by the old lady every few days, he would feel uneasy and lose his energy to work.
"Thanks!"
Ye Hua raised her head and spoke in a louder voice, but immediately lowered her head again and awkwardly drank her porridge.
Ye Qingqing could feel the sincerity of this guy; he was genuinely grateful to her. Although she didn't expect him to be thankful, she was still gratified. It was good that he knew how to be grateful, which also showed that the old lady had indeed corrected his ways.
The old lady was right: it's better to be useless than to harm others.
The current, timid Ye Hua is much more pleasing to the eye than the lazy, wicked little rascal she was as a child.
"It's nothing. Don't think about it anymore. You only get one chance at life. Once you die, you can never start over," Ye Qingqing said calmly.
Ye Hua nodded. Having narrowly escaped death, he truly understood the preciousness of life. No matter how bitter, difficult, or tiring things became in the future, he would never seek death again.
Ye Qingqing didn't know what to say, and the room fell silent again, the atmosphere a little awkward. The old lady was eating her food. Her appetite was still good, but it was not as good as it had been a few years ago. Moreover, upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the old lady had really aged. The wrinkles on her face were deeper, and she was not as energetic as she had been a few years ago. She also walked much slower.
Yesterday, Ye Qingqing saw the old lady rubbing her back, muttering to herself that she was old and useless, and that her back hurt terribly. In the past, even if she sat all day pasting paper boxes, the old lady would still be full of energy, and when she scolded Ye Lan, the feather duster would make a loud whooshing sound, clean and efficient.
Although she wasn't close to the old lady, Ye Qingqing still felt a little uneasy. When the old lady lived at home, she had actually helped her a lot. Otherwise, if she had been fighting alone, it probably wouldn't have been so easy for Ye Zhiguo to slip up.
After thinking it over, Ye Qingqing made a decision.
"What's the situation with that widow now? Has she gotten married?" Ye Qingqing asked.
The old lady and Ye Hua were both stunned and quite surprised, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
Ye Qingqing then said, "I just heard you say that the widow's wicked mother-in-law is demanding 60,000 yuan to release her, right?"
Ye Hua then came to his senses and nodded excitedly. If Ye Qingqing was willing to help, Ah Zhen would definitely be saved.
Ye Qingqing has been fierce since she was a child, and Ah Zhen's wicked mother-in-law is definitely no match for her. Ye Hua's eyes sparkled, and hope returned.
