Chapter 114 Isn't this Xiaomei's sister? "
I'll go in and get it. I'll be out soon. Wait for me here."
Ye Mei hurried into the house.
But when she came out after getting the money, she found Ye Qingyue chatting with her mother-in-law, Wu Mu, in the main hall.
"I haven't seen you for a year. Qingyue has grown so beautiful?"
Wu Mu praised her, but her eyes were full of disgust.
She was young, with a foxy face, and she looked unruly.
Ye Qingyue saw through the fake smile on Wu's mother's face at a glance. In addition, she had no good impression of the Wu family, so she just perfunctorily replied, "Thank you, auntie, for the compliment."
"Xiaomei hasn't been back since she married Zhenhua from my family. Did you come here because you missed your sister? It's not safe for a girl to walk such a long way, right? Qingyue, you are so beautiful, you should be more careful and don't go out so easily..."
Although Wu's mother didn't like Ye Mei, they were on the same side about one thing.
She hoped that Ye Mei would not go back to her parents' home.
The Ye family in Xiangyang Village was so poor. If Ye Mei went back, wouldn't she have to bring gifts and money?
Now that Wu's father hadn't resumed his job, the family was not well-off. Wu's mother tried to save money wherever she could, and she didn't mind the group of people in her daughter-in-law's family.
But who could have thought that when she didn't go, her poor relatives came to visit.
Wu's mother was thinking about how to get rid of Ye Qingyue, Ye Mei came over, grabbed Ye Qingyue's hand and dragged her out.
"Didn't I tell you to wait for me outside?"
Ye Mei frowned, because now there was only her mother-in-law at home. If her husband Wu Zhenhua saw her...
she remembered the look Wu Zhenhua gave Ye Qingyue on her wedding day.
Ye Mei's stomach churned and she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Sister, it's hot outside, let's talk at home."
Ye Qingyue pulled Ye Mei back, "Don't waste money to treat me to shredded pork noodles, I can't eat it in such a hot day."
What? Shredded pork noodles?
When Wu's mother heard this, she also hurriedly followed suit and advised: "Xiaomei, I boiled mung bean soup and put it in the well to cool down. Since your sister doesn't want to eat noodles, I'll go and pour some mung bean soup for you two to drink to cool down."
As expected, Ye Mei couldn't be allowed to meet her family.
They just met, and she had to spend money outside to eat shredded pork noodles.
Why didn't she use the money to replenish her body at Zhenhua?
Spendthrift woman!
Wu's mother didn't give Ye Mei a chance to refuse and turned to the backyard.
"Sister, don't frown, you can pinch flies to death."
Ye Qingyue smiled and pressed Ye Mei's eyebrows.
Ye Mei "popped" Ye Qingyue's hand away and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing here?"
She is not a fool.
Ye Qingyue's face was almost written with "I don't want to leave", how could she not see it?
"Ye Weimin's family is in jail."
Ye Qingyue said, "I'm here to tell you the news."
"What?!"
Ye Mei screamed in surprise.
In the backyard kitchen, Wu's mother was pouring mung bean soup. She was startled by Ye Mei's scream, and her hand shook, and she accidentally spilled some.
She cursed, disliked Ye Mei's scream, and looked at the mung bean soup dripping on the stove, and felt a little distressed.
Wu's mother rolled her eyes, and simply put the bowl against the stove, and used her hand to push some of the mung bean soup that was spilled on the stove into the bowl.
The mung bean soup was dark in color, and it was hard to tell.
After doing all this, Wu's mother felt a little better.
Meanwhile, in the main hall,
Ye Mei hadn't recovered from the news that Old Man Ye's family was in jail.
Ye Qingyue simply told her the whole story.
"...Now they are in jail, and some people in the village say I am cold-blooded behind my back. When I went out in the morning, a group of boys peed at the door of our house. When I saw them, they made faces at me, scolded me for being an unfilial daughter and wished me hell."
Ye Qingyue said this with a faint expression - the lie she had just made up.
Being scolded for being cold-blooded was true, but the child peeing was false.
With her personality, if a naughty child really came to her house to make trouble, she would beat him until the other party's mother wouldn't recognize him.
"What did you say?"
Ye Mei's face darkened, "Whose family?"
She would knock on the door today and ask parents how to educate their children.
"They ran fast, I didn't see clearly."
Ye Qingyue sighed lightly, pretending to be melancholy, "So I plan to take mother and Afeng to move to the county town, but we are unfamiliar with the place, and I heard that people in the county look down on people from the village. I don't know if we will be bullied by them, sister, what do you think?"
Ye Mei felt even more upset when she heard this.
Based on her understanding of her sister, her sister's character is more tolerant than the turtle.
Being forced to move from the village to the county town, the grievances she suffered in the process are probably more than what she told her.
"...Let's talk about it after we move."
Ye Mei felt depressed, and remembered something else,
so she asked, "Do you have enough money to move?" When Wu's mother came over with mung bean soup, she heard Ye Mei asking Ye Qingyue "Is the money enough?"
Her heart tightened. What was she doing? What was she doing?
She had married into the Wu family, but why was she still turning her elbow outward and giving back to her parents?
Her son had insisted on marrying Ye Mei, but he had spent dozens of yuan to marry her!
The Ye family had already taken so much money, and they still wanted more money?
She knew...she knew that when poor relatives came to visit, there would be no good news!
"The mung bean soup is here."
Mother Wu interrupted their conversation on purpose and put the mung bean soup on the table. "It's cold, drink it quickly."
Ye Mei was feeling depressed and planned to drink some mung bean soup to cool down.
"Sister, we're out of money at home."
Ye Qingyue grabbed her hand and spoke hesitantly, his eyes glancing at the turbid mung bean soup, and silently pulled Ye Mei's hand further away.
She became more and more angry at the Wu family.
Although Ye Mei had a bad temper and rarely swallowed her anger, she was multifaceted.
Her personality was more traditional in some aspects. After getting married, Ye Mei was hardworking and would do the housework and work ordered by her parents-in-law and husband well, and she never played tricks.
She would take whatever was given to her, and would not ask for more or complain.
But Ye Qingyue came as a guest, and Wu's mother dared to serve such dirty things to her eldest sister in front of the guests. Usually, she would not let her eldest sister suffer in such a small matter!
Ye Qingyue suppressed the urge to slap the bad woman in the face and continued to play the role of a silly girl, sobbing, "Sister, you know my character. If I hadn't really had no other choice, I wouldn't want to bother you."
Ye Mei seldom saw Ye Qingyue cry. She panicked for a moment and opened her mouth, "I have some..." money here.
"Xiaomei."
But before she finished her words, Wu's mother spoke in a gloomy tone, "I don't want to make it so clear, but if you don't understand, don't blame me for saying something bad in front of your sister."
"In order to marry you, our family emptied out dozens of dollars. Now, how long has it been, and you want to give the money in the family to your parents?"
Wu's mother glanced at the sobbing Ye Qingyue, annoyed by this money-seeking vixen, "If you have that money, why not buy some delicious food for Zhenhua to replenish his body? You two have been married for a long time, but you still have no children. The neighbors are all whispering, is there something wrong with you..."
Ye Mei's face looked a little ugly when she heard it. Is there something wrong with her?
It was obviously your precious son who flirted with others and got kicked in the crotch!
"Mom, I'm back--"
At this moment, a male voice sounded outside the house, making Ye Mei's hair stand on end.
Then, a man in his twenties stood at the door of the main room. As soon as he entered the room, his restless eyes were glued to Ye Qingyue, and his voice became floating: "This, this... Isn't this Xiaomei's sister? Why are you here?"
