Chapter 51 Is it the second one?
Captain Qin took Director Guo and the investigator on a tractor and drove all the way to Ye Lao Da's house. They didn't find anyone, so they had to go to Ye Lao San's house.
Ye Laosan's family had just finished dinner. In the past two days, the Ye family had been having dinner at Laosan's house. It was very lively. They mainly wanted to let the silent Ye Xiuhong say a few more words.
"Xiuhong, go back to your room and rest. Let your brother and the others clean up." Jin Fenglian saw that her daughter looked unhappy, so she asked her to go back and rest.
"Sister, go back and lie down. Don't worry about this." Ye Xiushan sent Ye Xiuhong back to the house, made the bed for her, closed the door and left.
Back in the house, the quiet space made Ye Xiuhong fall into a nightmare again, and an expression of pain slowly appeared on her pale face.
"You're a hen that doesn't lay eggs! All you do is eat, eat, eat. What's the point of living?"
"Xiuhong, you can't have children, so what if my mother says a few words to you? Why are you so angry?"
"Sister-in-law, you can't even have children, why do you keep so many clothes? Please change my coat."
No, no, no, she doesn't want to live like this. She can't escape. Even if she gets divorced, she still can't have children. It will be the same no matter who she marries in the future!
If she remarried in the future, she would be rejected. What would happen to the reputation of the Ye family girls? She had only one way, only one way. Looking at the pillow, her hand reached out to the hemp rope uncontrollably.
He slowly took it in his hand and tied a knot, then pulled over a bench with empty eyes and looked at the hemp rope in his hand.
Ye Xiuhong murmured to herself, "As long as I'm gone, everything will be over. My family won't be laughed at. Xiulan can marry a good family without delaying Xiushan's marriage. I'll be free too. Yes, I'm free."
Ye Xiuhong tied a hemp rope on the beam, looked carefully at the room where she and her sister lived, and listened to the family members chatting outside. She had the love of her family and the care of her younger siblings in this life, and she had no regrets.
Ending her own existence was the only thing she could do for her family. Ye Xiuhong gently closed her eyelids.
"Is Ye Lao San home?" Captain Qin pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing that all the Ye family members were in the main room, he said to the outside, "Come in, they are all here."
Director Guo and the investigator entered the yard. They looked around the Ye family's small thatched mud houses. There was no decent furniture and they could even count the bowls on the stove. They thought they were indeed very poor and hoped that their relatives from Hong Kong would not turn around and run away.
Inside the house, Ye Xiuhong was interrupted by the noise in the yard, and her mind cleared up. What was she doing? How would she live without her mother? Her grandparents were so old, were they going to send her, a black-haired person, to hell?
After waking up, Ye Xiuhong was frightened. She quickly threw the hemp rope under the bed, cleaned herself up, and quietly looked outside through the window.
Ye Lin didn't know that he had accidentally saved a member of the Ye family.
Repulse Bay, Hong Kong
"The side quest progressed 5%, and the bonus was HK$1 billion. After deducting the outstanding balance, your balance is negative US$1.89 billion, which is equivalent to negative HK$9.45 billion."
Ye Lin was lying on the sofa, reading a magazine and eating strawberries. When he heard about the mission money coming from somewhere, he opened his mouth in surprise and the strawberry fell out of his mouth and rolled to the ground.
"Xiao Ling, where did this money come from?"
"Side quest progress."
"What side quest? Explain clearly."
"Side quest progress."
Well, when it comes to things he doesn’t want to talk about, Xiao Ling becomes a parrot again. He might as well just lie down and not care where the money comes from, as long as it’s money.
Neixiahe Village
Ye Sanxing came forward and said, "Captain Qin is here. Come in and have a cup of tea."
Captain Qin saw Ye Sanxing and patted him on the shoulder. "Haha, I'm here to congratulate your family today. Come on, this is Director Guo from the commune, and this is an investigator from the province, who came all the way to see you."
The investigator extended his hand. “Hello, sorry to bother you today.”
Ye Sanxing's heart was pounding. He couldn't think of anything in his family that would make someone come from the provincial government to find him. He could only bite the bullet and say, "Hello, comrade, hello, Director Guo. Come in and have some tea. Mom, please bring some water."
"Hey, I'll go right away!"
Jin Fenglian then remembered to go to the kitchen to get some water. It was the first time she met a high-ranking official like the commune director, and she was so nervous that her mind was confused. She took out a bowl and was about to pour water with a gourd ladle when she remembered that she couldn't give people cold water.
"Xiu Lan, come into the kitchen and help light the fire!"
Old man Ye in the house also heard the noise outside and wondered why people from the commune and the province had come.
As soon as the investigator entered the room, he saw the old man on the kang and guessed that this was Ye Changnian.
"Hello, old man. I'm a census worker for the province. I'm here to visit you today."
"Hey, hello, comrade, what are you doing here?" Old man Ye was even more confused when he heard him talking about the census. What did this have to do with his family?
"Old man, your name is Ye Changnian, and your wife's name is Liu Guohua, correct?"
The investigator asked carefully
"Yes, yes, I am Ye Changnian, and my name is Liu Guohua." Old man Ye became even more nervous. Why did they really start checking the household registration? It was true that they were poor peasants for eight generations.
"That's right. Please sit down first. I have something good to tell you." The investigator was afraid that the old man would be too excited to stand, so he asked him to sit down first.
After hearing what the investigator said, Ye Changnian had no choice but to sit back on the kang and sit with Old Lady Ye, feeling even more uneasy.
"Old sir, a few days ago we received a request from a fellow Hong Konger who wanted to find a relative. They provided us with this address. Please take a look. We don't know the name of the relative they are looking for, we only know their surname is Ye."
After hearing what the clerk said, the old couple were dumbfounded. Suddenly, Old Mrs. Ye couldn't breathe, raised her hand to point at the investigator and wanted to speak, but she fainted on the kang.
"Old woman!"
"mom!"
Old Man Ye quickly hugged Old Lady Ye's head and helped her to breathe. Jin Fenglian pinched her Ren Zhong hard and told the little girl to quickly make a bowl of brown sugar water.
After a moment of chaos, Old Lady Ye slowly woke up. She struggled to her feet, ignoring everyone and staring at the clerk. She asked cautiously, "Comrade, is that Ye over there?"
After receiving the clerk's affirmative answer, Mrs. Ye trembled all over and held Old Man Ye tightly, saying in disbelief, "Old man, tell me, tell me if it is true, is it true?"
Old man Ye's eyes were also blurred with tears. He hugged his wife and said in a trembling voice, "Yes, yes, it must be our second son who has been found. The second son is back. Our son is not dead. Our son is fine."
Old Mrs. Ye could no longer hold back her tears and burst into tears. “I told you that Xiao Er was so smart that he wouldn’t die. Hahaha, God has eyes. My son is still alive. He’s still alive.”
Ye Dajun, who was standing next to him, was wiping the tears from his face with his sleeve. His brother was still alive, and that was enough. When his brother came back, he would cook for him every day.
Ye Sanxing was still able to control himself, and asked his eldest brother in a sobbing voice, "Brother, is the second brother coming back?"
"Of course, this is his home, how could he not come back!" Ye Dajun slapped his third brother on the back of the head. The confused guy had three brains that couldn't match half of his second brother's.
When Old Man Ye and his wife came to their senses, they looked like they were ten years younger. They got off the kang in high spirits and walked briskly. They told Jin Fenglian to kill the chickens in the yard and to entertain the investigator well.
Old Mrs. Ye held the investigator's hand tightly and led him to the dining table. "Son, you must have a meal at our house. I've been looking forward to it for half my life. Come and sit down. Come, sit down."
"Auntie, this is unacceptable. We cannot take advantage of ordinary people."
"Nonsense, what's cheap about that? I'm happy today, so I have to eat this meal."
Old Man Ye asked Ye Dajun to go home and find his collection of white wine, so that he could have a good drink with the clerk.
The Ye family was so welcoming that the clerk and Director Guo couldn't refuse, so they had to stay for dinner.
The investigator secretly gave Captain Qin a few food coupons and asked Captain Qin to give them to the Ye family after they left.
In the yard, Jin Fenglian was killing a chicken, and Ye Xiuhong and Ye Xiulan were helping her.
"Mom, what do you think of my second uncle?" Ye Xiulan asked curiously.
Jin Fenglian plucked the chicken feathers and rolled her eyes at her. "How would I know? Your father doesn't even remember what his second brother looks like. If you want to know, go ask your grandparents."
Ye Xiulan also wanted to go in and listen, but her mother insisted that she stay here to help with cooking. She turned around and asked her sister, "Sister, what do you think of Hong Kong?"
Ye Xiuhong thought about it. The farthest place she had been was the commune. “Maybe there are three-story buildings everywhere, just like the supply and marketing cooperatives in the commune?”
Ye Xiulan imagined that the streets were lined with three-story buildings.
"Hong Kong is so nice! Second uncle is really enjoying himself."
Jin Fenglian quickly washed the chicken and put it into the pot. She turned around and said to her little girl, "There are rich and poor people everywhere. Your second uncle might not have an easy life either. Don't bother him when the time comes."
"I know, I'm not imagining things. I'm just curious." Ye Xiulan curled her lips, thinking that her second uncle might be living a good life by eating two eggs every day.
