These days, eating meat is a rare thing, let alone someone spending money to buy such a large rack of ribs.
The father and daughter walked into the village talking as they went. They encountered many people who had finished work, as the harvest was almost complete and many people were leaving work early these days.
Seeing Ye Ran carrying such a large plate of spare ribs, everyone looked over with a hint of envy.
Some people were making sarcastic remarks, "Hmph, what a spendthrift! He actually spent money to buy such a big rack of ribs. He doesn't know how hard it is to be an ox when you're not in charge of the household."
"Hmph! That's only if their family is rich! Don't you even know whose child Ye's daughter-in-law was before..."
"That's right, look at her delicate appearance, does she look like she's ever suffered? She's probably just spoiled by that rich girl, she still thinks she's a lady from a wealthy family!"
"Ye Jun and his wife spoil their daughter rotten! I bet no family will want her in the future. She'll be a complete spendthrift wife!"
Hearing the surrounding chatter, Ye Jun was furious. Although he felt a little sorry for his daughter for buying so many ribs, she was his daughter! What she wanted to do was none of their business!
Just as Ye Jun was about to argue with those people, Ye Ran stopped him. These people had come at the right time; on the way back, she had already come up with an excuse for going to the city every day.
After this period, everyone will be free of trouble, and this area at the village entrance will definitely become a gathering place for gossipy old women. She comes and goes every day, and over time, she will definitely be pointed at and talked about by these people. Now is the perfect opportunity for her to find a good excuse to spread the gossip through the mouths of these old women...
"Ladies, you've misunderstood! I didn't buy these ribs." Ye Ran smiled slightly at the crowd.
Seeing Ye Ran's smile, some of the more shy people stopped talking, but others still wouldn't give up, "Where did that come from? It couldn't have fallen from the sky!"
"This really is a windfall. Yesterday I went to the city to visit a classmate and happened to see an elderly lady from a family fall down. I took her to the hospital. Since the family's son and daughter-in-law were not home, I went to the hospital early this morning to help take care of her. The family came back in the afternoon and gave me a rack of spare ribs as a token of their gratitude."
After hearing Ye Ran's words, those people were immediately filled with regret, feeling that such a good thing had never happened to them. They didn't even consider whether they would have done the same to save someone if they were in that situation...
Hearing his daughter's words, Ye Jun was a little confused. This was different from what his daughter had said yesterday... But seeing the look in his daughter's eyes, he quickly swallowed his question.
"Daughter, you did a good job! But how could you take someone else's ribs? It's no big deal!" Ye Jun said, pretending to be serious.
Ye Ran also pretended to be a little embarrassed, "There's no way, Dad! That family forced me to give it to them, and they even gave me a job..."
"What?!" the crowd exclaimed in surprise.
At that time, having a job was like having a secure, stable job—a source of great pride and honor for one's family. How could Ye Ran, this little girl, have found a job? Nobody wanted to believe it. Although she had always been a good student and was beautiful, how could someone from her background possibly find work!
Everyone looked at Ye Ran with questioning eyes, but Ye Ran smiled without noticing, "They are the old lady's family. They are very grateful to me, so they let me take care of their old lady every day and pay me a salary every day."
"What?! So you're going to work as a nanny!"
"I thought it was some respectable job! How dare they even mention this kind of job!"
Although these people said that, they were actually incredibly jealous inside...
Ye Ran ignored the snide remarks of these people and, having achieved her goal, simply took Ye Jun home.
Why bother with these people? They'll only slow down her earning speed!
