We agreed that it would only cost ten yuan!
The midwife was overjoyed to see the extra ten yuan given by the employer's family. She then arranged for Grandpa Ye Yaozu to take care of Grandma and gave her some instructions.
Finally, he gave a thumbs-up, made a gesture, and said to Grandma Wang Cuihua, "Little sister, you're so lucky!"
Grandma glanced at Grandpa, a smile spreading across her face, like a large chrysanthemum blooming.
Several more days passed, and Grandma Wang Cuihua was much better. The group decided to go back to the village to recuperate. They had been away for more than half a year, and they couldn't let their newborn son suffer along with them!
The group traveled along the way, stopping frequently. When they got tired, they would find a nearby restaurant to eat at and spend the night. When they were thirsty or hungry, they would find a place to eat nearby to fill their stomachs.
Day after day passed by without us even realizing it!
Just as they were about to return home after passing two more villages and two more hills, suddenly, the sound of a baby crying came from behind them, "Wah—uh—" intermittent and faint. Grandma told Grandpa to stop and take a look to see what was going on.
Grandpa Ye Yaozu took a few steps ahead to the source of the sound. There he saw a swaddled baby with a small, barely breathing infant inside. Grandpa looked around but saw no one. Helpless, he could only carry the baby forward to find Grandma Wang Cuihua.
"Cuihua, you, you have to look quickly, how is the child?" Ye Yaozu asked anxiously, at a loss for what to do.
Seeing Ye Yaozu's anxiety, Wang Cuihua didn't have time to think much. She quickly took the baby from the swaddling clothes and looked at it. At that moment, the baby stopped crying and opened its two big round eyes, turning left and right, and sometimes a smile appeared on its lips.
Ye Yaozu and Wang Cuihua both felt that this baby was destined to be with them, and since they had encountered it, they couldn't just ignore it. So they waited there for an hour, while also checking if anyone was around.
While waiting, Wang Cuihua breastfed Ye Tianyong and the unnamed baby in her arms.
Unfortunately, nothing came of it!
The couple were kind-hearted and couldn't bear to abandon the baby, so they took him home.
At the Ye family home, the couple were preparing to unwrap the swaddling clothes to wash the baby. The moment they opened them, they discovered that the baby was wrapped in a handkerchief, the fabric of which was exquisite and without a single flaw.
There was also a lifelike lotus flower painted on it, and the couple immediately decided to name her "Ye Xiaolian".
From then on, Ye Xiaolian stayed in the Ye family and became a member of the family.
When Ye Tiancheng was a child, he wondered where his younger sister Ye Xiaolian came from. But as he grew up, he forgot about his childhood.
At this point, only the grandparents in the Ye family knew that their aunt, Ye Xiaolian, was not their biological daughter.
...
"Mommy, are you done with your work? I was almost falling asleep waiting for you." As soon as Yingbao came in, her mother noticed her and asked if something was wrong, but Yingbao wouldn't say.
She just told her mother to get busy first.
Yingbao could only hang her head dejectedly, wondering how she could persuade her mother.
Fortunately, after what seemed like an eternity, Wang Yitong finished sewing the last stitch and was finally done with her work.
Wang Yitong was engrossed in her work, unaware of the time passing by, while Yingbao felt that every minute and every second dragged on endlessly.
If she had known, she would have been better off speaking to her mother as soon as she walked in the door.
They really shot themselves in the foot!
That's unnecessary!
