Chapter 81: He is willing to empty his family's savings to marry me】
"I didn't have the chance to tell you just now."
Ye Qingyue said: "Sister, do you still remember Granny Zhong?"
"The one you always secretly sent meals to?" Ye Mei frowned. She was also a poor person.
"Yes."
Ye Qingyue nodded: "Grandma Zhong taught me Chinese medicine. Now that reform and opening up have taken place, I don't have to hide the fact that I know Chinese medicine anymore."
"Not long ago, I helped Dr. Wang save Dabao from next door, and he covered for me and told the outside world that he taught me medical skills."
"The director of the emergency department of the county hospital is Dr. Wang's cousin. I asked Dr. Wang to help me find the relationship of the director of the emergency department and found a temporary job in the hospital."
Ye Qingyue said again: "Sister, aren't you still worried that it will be very hard for mother to work and support the family alone? When I work in the hospital and get a salary, mother can also relax a little."
Hearing this, Ye Mei was silent.
"It's good to work in the hospital. It's decent to say it out, and people won't look down on you anymore."
After a while, Ye Mei said: "Then you don't study anymore?"
When she said the last sentence, her tone was a little complicated.
"Of course I have to study."
Ye Qingyue said firmly. Her goal is higher and farther, and education is an indispensable part.
Hearing this, Ye Mei's cold expression softened a little, and a faint smile of relief appeared at the corner of her lips.
But when Ye Qingyue looked over, she immediately frowned again.
"Sister, don't worry, we didn't suffer after the separation, but got better and better."
Ye Qingyue held Ye Mei's hand and thought to herself, it would be even better if you could come back.
She didn't say this out loud, because she knew that Ye Mei would not divorce and go home easily.
In this era, if a married woman wants to divorce, everyone from relatives and neighbors to the Women's Federation and neighborhood committee, and even the leaders of the work unit, will come to persuade you not to divorce.
Without the right reasons and opportunities, if Ye Mei rashly let herself get divorced and leave that beast, it would bring her endless troubles.
Ye Qingyue hasn't even gained a firm foothold yet, so how dare she push Ye Mei into the middle of a storm?
All she can do is to grow up quickly and climb to a higher position so that she can be Ye Mei's backer.
"...I know."
Ye Mei came this time just to see how her family was doing.
If it wasn't good, she would find a way to get the Ye family to tear up the separation documents and send her family back to live in the Ye family.
But now seeing this clean and tidy house, the younger brother's rosy cheeks with some flesh, and hearing that the second sister found a temporary job in the hospital.
Ye Mei felt that her worries were a bit unnecessary.
During the year she was away from home, her family seemed to have changed a lot, and she didn't need to worry about them anymore.
Since they were living better apart, there was no need to get along with that group of ungrateful people.
"I should go back."
Ye Mei came suddenly and left in a hurry, as if she didn't want to stay any longer.
"Sister, don't you want to stay for dinner?" Ye Qingyue held her back.
Although she couldn't ask to keep Ye Mei now,
Ye Qingyue still wanted to do something within her ability.
She also wanted to take the opportunity to find out what Ye Mei's current situation was like in her husband's family, so as to make a plan for Ye Mei to get a divorce.
Ye Feng also hurriedly said, "Sister, our family is going to make braised pork tonight. Let's eat together. We haven't been together for a long time."
Hearing "braised pork", Ye Mei swallowed subconsciously.
Ye Qingyue struck while the iron was hot and said: "Sister, my mother will be promoted to a regular position recently and she works overtime every day. When she comes back to cook, A Feng will probably be so hungry that her stomach hurts. You also know my skills..."
When Ye Mei heard that Ye Qingyue actually wanted to cook, her expression changed and her voice rose eight degrees: "You are not allowed to enter the kitchen!"
"Sister, while it's still early, why don't you cook at home?"
Ye Feng sang with Ye Qingyue, "In this case, mother can have a ready-made hot meal when she comes back tonight."
After he finished speaking, he covered his stomach and pretended to talk to himself: "I'm really a little hungry. Mother didn't come back at noon. My sister sent Wang Zhiqing to the hospital, and I didn't eat..."
Ye Mei: "..."
Now, even if Ye Mei wants to leave, it's hard to leave.
"What else can you two do?"
Ye Mei said in an irritable tone, but she turned back and walked towards the kitchen in the backyard.
"Sister, I'll help you." Ye Qingyue followed with a smile.
Ye Mei poked her forehead with a finger, pushed her away, and said expressionlessly: "Don't even think about entering the kitchen when I'm at home."
After that, Ye Mei strode away.
Ye Qingyue covered her red forehead and defended herself: "Sister, I'm not the same person I was when I was a child. I won't cook in the kitchen anymore. During this period of time, I helped my mother cook."
In response to this, Ye Mei's response was -
"Ha."
A cold and disdainful smile.
Ye Qingyue: "..."
However, Ye Mei screamed as soon as she entered the kitchen.
Ye Qingyue ran over quickly: "Sister, what's wrong?"
Ye Feng followed and looked into the kitchen, and saw Ye Mei staring at the big piece of meat and a basket of eggs in the kitchen.
Then, Ye Mei rubbed her eyes and looked at the big piece of meat.
Rubbed her eyes again, and looked at the meat again.
Repeated several times.
"Hiss..."
Ye Mei slapped her face and finally accepted the reality, "Are you not dazzled?"
"Sister, after separating from the Ye family, our family is not short of money, and there is enough meat." Ye Qingyue held back her laughter.
Ye Feng also nodded vigorously: "I've been eating meat every day recently!"
Ye Mei: "..." Is there any benefit to separating the family?
After coming back to her senses from the trance, Ye Mei didn't waste any words and started cutting meat and vegetables with a knife.
Before long, the delicious aroma of meat could be smelled in Xu Juan's house next door.
Dabao, who had just recovered from an illness, bit his finger and drooled: "Mom, some meat..."
Xu Juan wiped his saliva with a smile: "Mom will buy it for you tomorrow. Now that we have paid off the debts of favor to those relatives, our family doesn't owe anyone anything. Your father also said in the letter that you don't have to worry about money in the future. You can eat meat whenever you want, and you can move to the county..."
...
Ye Mei quickly cooked four dishes and a soup, including meat and vegetables.
Ye Xianghong's portion was served separately, and the siblings brought the dishes to the table. Everyone started eating quickly as they smelled the mouth-watering aroma.
Especially the braised pork, which was cut into large pieces but stewed until it was soft and tasty. The fat seemed to melt away when the chopsticks were picked up, and it was easily separated.
Ye Qingyue skilfully removed the fat and put it in Ye Mei's bowl.
"You are an ignorant person. You have never known what good food is."
Ye Mei rolled her eyes, picked up the rice dripping with soup, and shoveled it into her mouth in big mouthfuls.
Ye Qingyue has never liked eating fatty meat since she was a child.
Ye Mei is just the opposite. Fatty meat is her favorite.
In the 1970s, there was a shortage of materials. Everyone could barely eat but not eat well. Few people lacked oil and water, which led to the phenomenon that fatty meat was more in demand than lean meat.
Ye Qingyue heard Ye Mei muttering that she was ignorant, but she just smiled and said nothing. She thought to herself, when life gets better in the future, we can eat meat every meal and see if you are tired of eating fatty meat. Soon
, the plate on the table was empty.
Ye Mei picked up the empty plate, poured the last bit of rice in the bowl into it, mixed it with the vegetable soup, and ate it all up. Finally, she couldn't help but burp. Touching her bloated stomach, she felt like she couldn't walk anymore.
After she put down her chopsticks, Ye Feng cleaned the table and took it to the back to wash.
Ye Qingyue found the dried hawthorns that she bought at the hospital last time and let Ye Mei eat them to help digestion.
"I'll eat them on the way." Ye Mei put the dried hawthorns in her pocket. The sun was about to set, and it would be too late if she didn't go back.
"Sister."
Ye Qingyue sent Ye Mei to the door and suddenly said, "Are you doing well in your husband's family?"
Ye Mei paused, as if stunned for a moment, before she reacted and said lightly, "Nonsense, he is willing to empty his family's wealth to marry me, how can he not be good to me?"
After that, she waved her hand and left.
Ye Qingyue stood at the door, looking at Ye Mei's back, sniffing.
"Liar."
