Chapter 161: You're here to scam me, right?
Zhao Ying took a step forward with a motherly smile on her face and tried to reach out to pull Ye Xiaoxi.
Grandma Wang stopped Ye Xiaoxi behind her in time.
Zhao Ying: "Xiaoxi, Mommy is sincere. Your Uncle Wang and your brother are also always thinking about you."
Zhao Ying is so confident and sure that Ye Xiaoxi, who grew up in poverty, will be attracted by the beautiful family she describes.
Grandma Wang really hated Zhao Ying at this moment, and she looked at her granddaughter with concern.
Isn't it heartbreaking to show off the warmth of her other family in front of her granddaughter who grew up without a father or a mother?!
Ye Xiaoxi patted her grandmother soothingly and stood at the front. Her petite figure could also serve as a support for her grandmother.
"I think you may have misunderstood." Ye Xiaoxi looked at Zhao Ying coldly, "I don't mean to complain to you. I just want to say that since you haven't fulfilled your obligation to support me, I have no obligation to support you either."
Having said that, Ye Xiaoxi knew that the law did not allow her to do so. However, if it really came to court, she could insist on only paying the minimum child support every month.
Anyway, it's impossible to play the family card.
Zhao Ying was stunned. She didn't know whether Ye Xiaoxi's words were true or not, but she could see that Ye Xiaoxi really had no feelings for her.
How could this happen? She was puzzled.
Don’t little girls always miss their mothers?
Her husband's words when she came were still lingering in her ears. She had done everything he said, so how could she fail?
Things developed in a direction she had not expected, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
I could only stand there speechless.
The other end of the line shouted that dinner was ready. Ye Xiaoxi glanced at her and helped her grandmother walk to the dining table and sit down.
The audience also left one after another and rushed to the banquet, fearing that if they were not careful, the good seats would be taken by others and they would have to sit at the same table with their mortal enemy.
When Zhou Chunmei passed by Zhao Ying, she didn't think of avoiding her, but bumped into her straight away. The force wasn't great, but Zhao Ying, who was in a daze, fell to the ground all of a sudden.
Zhou Chunmei immediately jumped up and said, "What are you doing? Xiaoxi doesn't want to support you, so you come here to scam me, right?"
Zhao Ying did not answer. It was boring for Zhou Chunmei to perform a solo, so she curled her lips and ran to eat.
Seeing Wang Meijuan tearing off a large chicken leg and putting it in her mouth, she quickly went over and grabbed another one, muttering as she ate, "Oh, these were the dishes we used to have. This year, we have money from the demolition, so why are these still the dishes on the table?"
As he chewed, he sighed, "I'm almost tired of eating this!"
Ye Ke, who was walking behind, saw that all the other tables were full, so he had no choice but to sit with her.
The audience had all left, and Zhao Ying found that there was no one to help her. She felt angry and aggrieved, and glanced at Ye Xiaoxi who was scooping chicken soup for her grandmother.
No one paid any attention to her. All the people in Yejia Village were concentrating on the meal in front of them. Even the stir-fried vegetables were more worthy of attention than her.
I had to leave in shame.
Ye Ke arrived late and did not sit at the same table with Ye Wenhui, his aunt and the others.
Zhou Chunmei looked at Ye Ke sitting alone at the table and felt like making trouble.
Without a common enemy, the people of Yejia Village instantly fell apart again.
"Ahem, Xiao Ke! How are you doing in college?" Zhou Chunmei acted as if she cared about the younger generation's studies.
Ye Ke saw her intention and raised his eyebrows: "Very good! Very good."
Zhou Chunmei didn't believe it and looked at me as if to say, "Girl, you are lying."
"I heard you studied Chinese, right?"
Ye Ke supported his chin and nodded, then picked up a fried radish meatball. The outer shell was crispy and the inside was soft and juicy. Freshly fried ones are better than those bought in the market.
Zhou Chunmei immediately acted as if she had caught something and shouted, "If you ask me, it's the same as if you didn't go to college at all."
"Studying Chinese? Who doesn't know how to speak and write Chinese characters? Why would I need to spend four years studying it?"
Zhou Chunxiang gave Ye Ke some advice, saying, "Why don't you start working sooner? Like my daughter Yingdi, she started earning money to support the family early on."
Ye Ke asked with a half-smile, "Aunt Zhou, didn't Sister Yingdi break off relations with you a long time ago?"
They had a big fight over the demolition before, and she didn't think Sister Yingdi would come back.
Zhou Chunxiang's mouth stiffened, and she said disapprovingly: "Even if she's throwing a tantrum and being stubborn now, she'll come back sooner or later."
Yingdi will get married sooner or later, and will come crying to her family for support. Then we will see how she can control her.
Ye Ke reached for the belly of the sweet and sour fish with his chopsticks and sneered nonchalantly, "Okay! I'll wait and see then."
Anyway, she didn't see it in her previous life.
Zhou Chunxiang felt guilty when she saw her confident attitude, and she stopped talking while biting the chicken leg.
Wang Meijuan saw the atmosphere was tense and came out to ease the situation, saying, "The food is almost cold. Let's eat."
Abandoned by her son and penniless, Wang Meijuan has long lost her former aggressive personality. Now when encountering problems, she only wants to keep things peaceful.
In the past, she would definitely be the helper who agreed with Zhou Chunxiang.
Ye Ke scooped up a bowl of soup and took a sip. In the middle of winter, the drink made people feel warm inside.
After dinner, no one was in a hurry to go back. Ye Ke and Ye Wenhui came to their own house.
Everyone close to Ye Wenhui in Yejia Village had moved to Ancheng. The rest, like Zhou Chunxiang, were either on and off, or they had little interaction. Not wanting to burden others with favors, Ye Wenhui returned every three months to collect the rent for the other five apartments.
When Ye Wenhui collected the rent, she would also go back to her own house to clean up the dust, so the room was relatively clean when the two of them came in. However, after all, no one had lived there for so long, so the smell in the air was not bad, just a little stuffy.
Ye Ke walked to the window and opened it for ventilation.
Then I went back to lie on the sofa, touching my round belly. I finally had the annual village banquet. I ate a little too much at noon.
Seeing her like this, Ye Wenhui couldn't help laughing and said, "It's as if I usually starve you at home."
Although she didn't sit at the same table with Ye Ke at noon, she was not far away from him. She was sitting right in front of Ye Ke and could see Ye Ke's eating habits clearly.
Ye Ke touched his stomach to digest the food. "That's different. The food at the banquet, the food at the restaurant, the food at home, and the food at the snack stall all have their own taste."
Ye Ke stretched out a finger and waved it back and forth in front of Ye Wenhui's eyes. "Each one is unique and indispensable."
At first, I thought she was talking about some rare treasure, but it turned out to be just a meal!
Ye Wenhui shook her head in amusement. He was indeed still a child.
"boom!"
A loud thunder came from overhead.
Ye Ke jumped up from the sofa, looked around and asked, "What's wrong?"
As for what happened? Ye Wenhui, who only came back once every few months, didn't know either!
