Ye Qingqing was extremely agitated. She was eager to find out the cause of Xu Yali's death back then. Originally, she wasn't in such a hurry, but Shen Yanhong's sudden mention of it was like a fuse, completely igniting the hatred in her heart.
She no longer wanted to play along with Ye Zhiguo; she wanted to find out the truth as soon as possible and punish both Ye Zhiguo and Shen Yanhong!
But now she's in a dead end, like a trapped beast, completely clueless and unable to calm down!
Ye Zhiguo returned very late, after it was completely dark. His face was very gloomy, and he looked dejected, as if he were carrying a heavy stone.
Ye Zhiguo barely ate any dinner before returning to his room, much to the old lady's concern.
"Is something wrong with your dad at work? Go ask Zhao Di."
Even without the old lady's instructions, Ye Qingqing planned to ask Zhao Di. She ate a few mouthfuls of rice and then ran out to find Zhao Di, and also to buy balut and fried skewers from the old lady. Eating tofu and vegetables every day, Ye Qingqing felt like she was turning into a vegetable!
She went to find the old woman first. The old woman wouldn't go too far, probably because she was too old to walk very far.
Ye Qingqing found the old woman not far from Zhao Di's house. An older woman was leading a young boy to patronize her business. The older woman was none other than Zhao Di's mother. The boy was Zhao Di's younger brother, the same age as Ye Hua, and about the same age as Ye Hua. He was not a good person.
Zhao Di suffered so much in her past life, and this boy should bear most of the responsibility. Moreover, Zhao Di worked hard to earn money to support her younger brother's food, drink, and daily needs. Later, Zhao Di divorced her husband and returned to her parents' home, but only stayed for a month before being kicked out by her younger brother and sister-in-law.
Ye Qingqing walked over and saw that Zhao Di's mother was chatting with the old lady, and they seemed to know each other.
"You're out setting up your stall, is your son alright at home alone?" Zhao Di's mother asked with concern.
The old woman smiled and shook her head. "It's alright. I locked the door securely, and I told him not to touch the plug. I also left him some food. Nothing will happen."
"It must be so hard on you, having to raise such a big, stupid son at your age, what a tragedy!" Although Zhao Di's mother said this, her face carried a sense of superiority.
Compared to this old woman who, despite her advanced age, still runs a stall to support her mentally challenged son, Zhao Di's mother felt that her life was as sweet as being in a honey pot.
The old woman smiled and deftly fried the rice cakes. Two white rice cakes rolled in the oil and quickly turned golden brown. The old woman was very particular about the ingredients and changed the oil frequently, unlike others who could fry the rice cakes in one pot until they turned black.
"Oh dear, I only have four cents. I'm a regular customer, so I'll just forget about the one cent!"
Although Zhao Di's mother said it was a sin, she didn't do anything sinful when paying. Ye Qingqing clearly saw her take back the 10 cents, clearly trying to take advantage of the old woman.
The old woman murmured, "It's a small business, I can't earn much."
"Oh dear, I've patronized so many of your businesses, it's only a dime." Zhao Di's mother looked displeased, threw the four dime into the money jar on the stall, and pulled her son away.
Ye Qingqing walked over and deliberately bumped into her, scattering the loose change that Zhao Di's mother hadn't yet collected in her pocket all over the ground.
"This is a one-cent coin, Auntie, you've got it wrong." Ye Qingqing deliberately shouted, picking up the crumpled one-cent coin from the ground.
Knowing full well that the old woman was pitiful, he deliberately pocketed a dime. He only earned a dime from the two skewers of rice cakes, clearly trying to get something for free!
Zhao Di's mother was embarrassed but didn't want to lose face, so she said she didn't see it, paid another 10 cents, and hurriedly left with her son.
