It was easier to talk when she arrived in Lishan City. She could walk to the bus station in seven or eight minutes. There were two buses from Lishan City to Huanshan County, and Ye Ning happened to catch the last one.
“Where to go?” the conductor asked calmly.
“Go to Huanshan County.” The attitudes of various service staff were really bad now, and Ye Ning had gotten used to it these days.
It took one and a half hour to reach from Lishan City to Huanshan County. Ye Ning hugged her thick coat and leaned against the window to look at the scenery along the way. There were no high-rise buildings and there were farmlands everywhere. Ye Ning could tell the future when she looked at some places. If she bought a piece of land in these places and they got demolished them later, she would make a fortune.
In other words, if she thought about it, 60,000 yuan seemed like a lot of money, but it was definitely not enough to buy land.
More than an hour later, Ye Ning stood on the land of Huanshan County, listening to the familiar local accent, and let out a long sigh.
She couldn’t go back to her hometown directly, she had to go to school to extend her vacation, and she had to explain to the teacher why she went to Dongshan City.
“You’re back?” The head teacher was a very gentle woman. When she saw Ye Ning, who had lost a lot of weight, she couldn’t say anything serious. “My condolences. You still have a younger brother and sister. You have to look after everything.”
“I know, thank you, teacher. I came here to extend my vacation. I have to go home and set up a tomb for my father.” Ye Ning blinked and tears fell down instantly. She looked very pitiful.
This body was simply the standard configuration of a White Lotus.
“Okay, just fill in the leave request form. Arrange your father’s funeral first when you go back. Don’t think too much about it.” Although the college entrance examination was about to take place, the teacher couldn’t ignore Ye Ning’s situation.
After thanking the teacher, Ye Ning carried her things and returned to the dormitory. Several people in the dormitory felt as if they had seen a ghost when they saw Ye Ning: “Ye Ning, why are you back?”
Ye Ning glanced at her, and after searching her memory, she found out that she was the original owner’s best friend, named Gan Tiantian, and she and Sun Yaojun were the two people she was in charge of.
Others didn’t know, but Gan Tiantian knew the relationship between Ye Ning and Sun Yaojun very well. Something happened to the Sun family a few days ago. Sun Yaojun disappeared, and then Ye Ning also disappeared. Gan Tiantian guessed that Ye Ning ran away with Sun Yaojun, and now that the Sun family’s matter was not resolved, Sun Yaojun would definitely not dare to come back. Then why did Ye Ning come back?
“What do you mean by why am I back? This is my school, of course I want to come back.” Ye Ning glanced at her. This person had a bad mind. It would be better to have less contact with her in the future.
“I don’t mean anything else, I’m just curious, where have you been these past few days?” Gan Tiantian asked with a concerned look.
Obviously other people in the dormitory were also curious. Ye Ning had been away for almost a week, leaving without a sound and then coming back without a sound. There must be a reason.
Hearing this question, Ye Ning’s tears fell again, and Gan Tiantian was shocked.
“What’s wrong with you? It’s Sun…”
“My dad passed away in an accident.” Ye Ning said before she could say Sun Yaojun’s name, “My dad went out to earn tuition for me and my younger siblings. An accident happened and he passed away. I rushed to find my dad. I missed the last bus back to my hometown today. I will sleep in the dormitory one night and go back to my hometown tomorrow.” Suddenly, everyone in the dormitory stopped talking and didn’t know what to say.
After a long time, the girl who was sleeping on Ye Ning’s upper bunk came to Ye Ning and patted her shoulder gently, “My condolences, if you need any help, just tell me and I will help you if I can.”
“Yes, yes. If you need help, just ask.” The person who spoke was another roommate named Wang Yao. Her family was in a good situation and she was usually a little arrogant. She didn’t talk much to her original owner, but she didn’t expect that she would speak up this time.
Not to mention, Ye Ning really wanted to ask this person for something, but it was not a good idea to speak now, so she just nodded and thanked them for their kindness.
“Thank you. I’ve… recovered a lot these days. I just don’t know how to tell my brother and sister.” Ye Ning covered her face and sobbed.
Except for Gan Tiantian and a classmate named Wu Jing, her original roommates were all very nice and kept comforting her.
After dinner, Ye Ning pretended to be tired and lay down on the bed to rest, not giving the confused Gan Tiantian a chance to ask questions.
Early the next morning, Ye Ning got up softly, packed her things and prepared to go back to her hometown. Halfway through, she saw an extra person coming to help. She turned around and saw that it was Wang Yao.
“Thank you.”
“Are you… not preparing for the college entrance examination?”
Ye Ning was silent for a moment and said softly: “My father is gone, and my mother… is also gone. I still have two younger siblings to take care off. I’m afraid I can’t go to school.”
“Graduating from high school… is not bad.” Wang Yao glanced at Ye Ning, did not continue talking, and silently helped her pack her things.
