Principal Chen has seldom returned to Shuikou Village since Ye Jian left Fujun Town to study in the provincial capital of Southern Province. This time he came back because he wanted to go back to Shuikou Village for a holiday at the sniper base.
The main focus was on taking care of Ye Jian's old house. He repaired the parts that needed to be repaired, and invited local house builders to rebuild the parts that needed to be rebuilt. He also repainted the house inside and out, and removed the weeds in front and behind. The old house suddenly looked brand new, with white walls, green tiles, flying eaves and green pillars, and a different kind of elegance of the Jiangnan water town.
The old house had been uninhabited for a long time and had a somewhat damp and musty smell. Fortunately, the sun was shining every day during the time that Principal Chen came back, so he opened the house, lit sandalwood, and started the stove. He also invited a house builder to come and repair the house, so the house became lively and breathable. After the builder left, he bought a few wintersweets at the market and brought them home. The old house, which had not been inhabited for a long time, now had a smell of human life everywhere, and even though it was an old house, it felt exceptionally warm.
The reason why Sun Ying knew that Principal Chen had returned was because Xie Sifeng mentioned it casually on the phone, "Ye Jian didn't return to the village, but the former Principal Chen of our town middle school returned and renovated her dilapidated house inside and out. I didn't expect that the old house would look so good after a renovation."
She didn't know how much Principal Chen had taken care of Ye Jian in the past few years, so she asked out of curiosity, "Principal Chen has been retired for several years. Why did he think of cleaning up Ye Jian's family? Did Ye Jian sell the foundation of the old house to Principal Chen? Is she really not going to return to the village? Will she not return home when she gets old? She has sold her old house, so she must be very short of money."
When saying this, Xie Sifeng's tone revealed deep schadenfreude and a hint of sudden contempt.
In rural areas, if a family cannot even keep their old house and land and sells them all to others, they will be considered as losers. They have even sold their roots and are considered as prodigals. They will be criticized by others.
Principal Chen and Ye Jian are not related in any way. The fact that he renovated the old house to look like a new old-style house must mean that Ye Jian was unable to keep the family business and could not make a living outside. He is so useless that he needs to sell the family business to make a living.
People have a bad nature, they can't stand to see people they look down upon suddenly become more successful and useful than themselves. They say they are not envious, but deep down, they always think that one day sooner or later this person will be in trouble and will live a worse life than themselves!
Xie Sifeng looked down on Ye Jian and always thought that she was superior to Ye Jian. But when she saw Ye Jian on the day of the court appearance, she felt deeply inferior. She didn't dare to show her expression as openly as Sun Ying did, and even stood on Ye Jian's side against her will. But countless nights, as long as she thought about the past and the Ye Jian she saw that day, she would grit her teeth in the dark until her face was distorted.
Just like Sun Ying, a person who is obviously inferior to oneself in every way suddenly leaves oneself far behind one day and becomes the starry sky that oneself needs to look up to forever. How can one feel content and happy?
So, when Sun Ying found her, and with the temptation of money, Xie Sifeng only considered it for a few minutes, then pretended to be embarrassed and agreed to Sun Ying.
Now seeing that Principal Chen, who had no relation to Ye Jian, was actually renovating the old house for her, Xie Sifeng directly believed that Ye Jian must have sold the family business because she was in urgent need of money and she could not survive without it!
