The old lady and Sun Qiuyun were talking about Ye Qingqing. They were both anxious, but they didn't want to disturb Ye Qingqing, so they could only pass the time by chatting.
"I can't concentrate on work anymore, I can't sit still, and I don't know when Grandma Ye will get better," Sun Qiuyun said with a smile.
Fortunately, her job was much easier than Sang Huaiyuan's. Yimintang was where she had worked for most of her life, and she could do the job well even with her eyes closed, without needing to put in too much effort.
The old lady sighed, "I can't even watch TV. Sigh, judging from Qing'er's tone yesterday, it seems that Old Madam Ye's illness is quite serious, and she probably won't get better anytime soon!"
Sun Qiuyun frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Mom, how about I go to the Ye family in a couple of days? I won't say I'm going to meet my relatives, I'll just go and see the old lady of the Ye family."
The old lady thought for a moment and nodded. "Alright, it's inconvenient for me to go. You go and see if Qing'er is doing well, and also see what kind of person Ye Zhiguo is."
She trusted her daughter-in-law's judgment; she had no problem judging people.
Sun Qiuyun nodded and replied, "Then I'll go over tomorrow night."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a while, and their mood gradually calmed down. Sun Qiuyun wanted to help the old lady back to her room to rest, but a clear and familiar voice came from outside the courtyard gate.
"Grandma Sheng, Aunt Sun..."
The two were taken aback and turned around to see Ye Qingqing standing gracefully at the courtyard gate, her smile even brighter than her red dress.
"Oh dear, it's Qing'er, what brings this child here..."
The old lady was overjoyed; speaking of the devil, he appeared! What a coincidence!
Xiao Li ran to open the door, and Ye Qingqing pushed the cart in, slightly out of breath, with sweat on her forehead and her hair wet and sticking tightly to her forehead.
"It's so hot outside, Xiao Li, quickly go and get some chilled mung bean soup!" The old lady was heartbroken. The sun was scorching outside, and this girl didn't even know to wear a hat. Her face was all sunburned.
"Why aren't you wearing a hat, or a long-sleeved shirt, child...?"
Sun Qiuyun kept nagging, just like a mother nagging her daughter, which gave Ye Qingqing a very strange feeling.
Something just doesn't feel right.
The old lady and Sun Qiuyun had treated her quite well before, but there was still some distance between them. They were more polite than affectionate, which was perfectly normal, since they weren't family!
But now the barrier between the two has completely disappeared. One is like a grandmother, and the other is like a mother. They are very close, and it's heartwarming to hear that!
"It's alright, I'm naturally beautiful, I don't get tanned." Ye Qingqing drank the mung bean soup in one gulp and felt much better, then asked, "Grandma Sheng, what did you want to talk about on the phone yesterday?"
The old lady was extremely touched. "I didn't have anything urgent, but you still made a special trip over here. How is your grandmother?"
"I went to get an IV drip last night, and I'm feeling better today, so I had some time to come and check on him. I was worried that something was wrong with Uncle Sang's pills, but it's good that he's alright." Ye Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.
“Those pills are really good. Your Uncle Sang is as energetic as a twenty-year-old now,” Sun Qiuyun said with a smile.
"You still need to get some rest and not stay up late all the time. We also need to take Uncle Sang for a check-up in a while to see if his health indicators have improved," Ye Qingqing instructed.
Sun Qiuyun nodded repeatedly, her gaze towards Ye Qingqing becoming increasingly kind, and even carrying a different kind of emotion. The old lady felt the same way, which made Ye Qingqing feel uneasy. She quickly looked down at herself, worried that her clothes might be disheveled.
But the clothes were neat and tidy, and nothing seemed amiss, yet the old lady and Sun Qiuyun's gazes grew increasingly strange.
"Qing'er, do you...you...do you know Gu Nianci?" the old lady asked, tears welling in her eyes.
