Ye Qingqing comforted him, "Dad, why don't you go on a trip? It's so boring staying at home all the time."
Ye Mingcheng was somewhat tempted, but then shook his head. "If I go out, who will take care of the clinic? Who will do the housework? And Wuchen needs someone to look after him too."
If it weren't for him acting as a mediator at home, Qingqing and Wuchen would be fighting every day, and he wouldn't feel at ease with that.
"Wuchen is completely out of control because of you. You can go out and have fun without worry. I'll take care of things at home. We can take turns doing the housework, and if necessary, we can hire a cleaning lady. With money, we're not worried about finding people to do the work!"
Ye Qingqing snorted. Ye Mingcheng was a good-natured man. Without him at home, that unlucky kid Wuchen definitely wouldn't cause trouble. If he dared to cause trouble, Lu Mo would teach him a lesson.
Ye Mingcheng still refused to go out, saying, "What's the fun in going out alone? It's more fun when the whole family goes out together."
"Then why don't you go out with Grandma and Auntie? Auntie was just talking about going to the South to see the flowers a few days ago!"
Since their trip to the United States, Gu Nianci and the old lady have felt much more at ease. They are still healthy and can walk around now, but in a few years, they won't be able to travel anymore.
"I'm calling my grandma."
Ye Qingqing was quick to strike. It's quite comfortable to travel now because there aren't many tourists and the scenery hasn't been damaged too much. In another ten years or so, all you'll see when you go out is crowds of people, and it won't be interesting at all.
Ye Mingcheng hesitated. Of course he wanted to go out and have fun, but he was worried about his family. However, Qingqing was right. Gu Nianci and the others were getting old and needed someone to accompany them. Sang Huaiyuan was too busy to do anything else, so he was the only one who had time to accompany them.
"It's settled then. Grandma said we'll go out to the south to see the sea and flowers when the weather gets warmer. Dad, it would be even better if you could have a romantic encounter," Ye Qingqing joked.
Ye Mingcheng's expression changed slightly, and he said seriously, "No, when you grow up, your father will convert to Buddhism and will never look for anyone again in this lifetime."
"Dad, you're still young..."
Ye Mingcheng was very firm: "Don't say such things again."
His heart belonged to Xu Yali. When Yali was gone, his heart died too. After his children got married and started their own families, he went to a Buddhist temple to spend the rest of his life.
Ye Qingqing sighed and stopped trying to persuade him. She would tell Gu Nianci later to stop making arrangements for Ye Mingcheng.
The next day, when I got home from school, the house was empty. Xiaotong had gone to a competition, Wuchen hadn't finished school yet, and only Tiantian was doing her homework. Zhu Zi was always elusive and rarely home.
It was already dark, and Wuchen still hadn't returned. Even Xiaomei and Pipi were missing. Ye Qingqing realized something was wrong and called Wuchen's homeroom teacher.
"Sister Wuchen, are you feeling better?"
Ye Qingqing was baffled by her homeroom teacher's seemingly random question. She was as strong as an ox, so when had she gotten sick?
Before she could ask, the homeroom teacher said, "Wuchen said you're seriously ill and bedridden. She needs to go home to take care of you for a few days, so I gave her leave. Wuchen, what's the matter that you called?"
A surge of emotion welled up inside her, but Ye Qingqing forcefully suppressed it, clenching her fists tightly. She calmly asked, "I just wanted to ask how Wuchen has been doing lately, and whether taking leave will affect his studies?"
Just you wait, brat. When she gets back, I'll make sure Lu Mo throws her into a cesspool to eat maggots!
How dare they curse her to be bedridden!
The homeroom teacher smiled and said, "Actually, Wuchen is quite smart, but her mind isn't on her studies. Whether she asks for leave or not isn't a big deal. Sister Wuchen, don't worry too much, just focus on getting better!"
