New Year Bonus Update
No matter what, Ye Huaxing was a teacher in the town. And he wanted face. Ye Ning said this so he quickly took his mother back.
The shameless person was sent away, but Ye Ning also left a proud image in the village.
Some people had a good relationship with Aunt Guihua or were related to their family. They always thought that Ye Huaxing was powerful, and thus thought that Ye Ning was ignorant and too arrogant. Even if Ye Huaxing had not gone to college, he was also a teacher in the town and had a formal job. If she could even look down on such a person, she could still look down on the people in the village.
But some people thought that Ye Ning was right. She was preparing for the college entrance examination and had a great future. She could always find a classmate in college who she could have a dual career with and he would definitely be better than Ye Huaxing.
Anyway, Ye Ning didn’t care what people said. She was not RMB, so that everyone would like her. They could just say a few words and she wouldn’t miss a piece of meat.
“Sister, who was it?” Ye Lan came out of the kitchen.
“Aunt Guihua, last time she took a bus to town with me and kept praising her son. Today she suddenly brought her son to the door and looked for me. I don’t know what she was thinking. She wanted the villagers to misunderstand me. It could have been so damaging.” If she was such a weak girl, she might have let Aunt Guihua in. There was no adult in the family, so she wouldn’t be able to explain it in time. Such that when she came back next time, everyone in the village would probably think that she and Ye Huaxing were a couple.
“I’ll go find her.” Ye Lan picked up the pole and headed to Aunt Guihua’s house.
Ye Ning grabbed her and said, “Why are you such a tough girl? I’ve just made it clear. I’m just telling you, don’t be around people like this in the future.”
The noodles at noon just had a little vegetable oil and a little cabbage in them. They were not really delicious, but the two children ate them very deliciously. Ye Ning followed up and ate a big bowl. The two siblings held the candy in their mouths and did not dare to suck it because it would melt quickly. Ye Ning found it funny but felt distressed as well. In the past, when Li Fang was still here, she could occasionally eat a piece of candy. Qingshan was a grown man with a rough heart, so it would be good if he could keep his children fed and clothed. Thus, these two children were also sensible and knew that Ye Qingshan was not around so, they never asked for pocket money, and they had not eaten sweets for two years, or any snack.
“Sweet.” After a pause, Ye Lan replied.
Ye Ning looked at her and smiled, then peeled one off and stuffed it into her mouth, “Is it sweet?”
Ye Lan didn’t even want to stop her. She pursed her lips and said, “It’s almost time to eat.” The implication was that you shouldn’t eat sweets now.
Ye Ning took out the pound of hard candies, “I bought it for you to eat. It’s best not to eat it at night, so as not to damage your teeth. Xiao Lan will eat one first.” She said, peeling one off and stuffing it into her mouth.
After a while, Ye Gu came back. When he saw Ye Ning, he ran over happily and said, “Sister.”
“Lock dad’s room from now on.” Actually, there weren’t many things, but Ye Qingshan’s tablet was there, so they shouldn’t disturb his peace. The two couples could come here together, and they were shameless. As long as they could take advantage of anything, they would definitely do it.
Speaking of Ye Ning’s eldest aunt, this was another strange thing. Ye Fangming was brought by her step-grandmother. Her original name was Fang Ming. When she arrived at the Ye family, she added the surname Ye, but she was also from the Fang family, because she had a bit of a stutter, so she was not easy to marry. Finally, her mother told her about a girl in Fangjia Village who didn’t have very good eyesight. The problem was that this girl was the daughter of Fang Ming’s uncle, so she was definitely married to a close relative.
“Xiao Gu is back soon. It’s here.” Ye Lan calmed down the fire and waited for Ye Gu to come back before making noodles. “I’ve been here before, but why didn’t you come? First, it was our aunt, and then our second aunt. Yesterday, grandpa was on the move. He kept asking when dad would be back. Uncle was arrested before. Dad beat him once, and he became more honest. Eldest aunt was annoyed and wanted to enter Dad’s room, but I stopped her. Her eyes were darting around so much that she was planning something evil at first sight.”
“Why isn’t Xiao Gu back yet?” Ye Ning changed the subject, “Has anyone been coming to the old house these days?”
Sometimes things like reputation were very useful, sometimes they were useless, especially in this era, people laughed at the poor but not at prostitutes. When she got rich, no matter how bad her reputation was, someone would say it was good.
As soon as she put down the bowl, she heard a knock on the door from outside.
“You guys eat some more and I’ll go take a look.” Ye Ning got up and went out.
“I have about the same amount of food, so I’ll go out with you.” Ye Lan was worried about her sister, always feeling that she would be bullied.
She saw that my eldest aunt and Ye Qinghe were both here. No need to ask, it must be about the fields.
“Xiao Ning, I heard that you are back. Where is your dad? He didn’t come back with you?” Auntie asked, probing her head.
“What does it have to do with you whether my dad comes back or not?” Ye Lan exploded when she heard this. Jin Xiuli’s words touched the saddest point in her heart, because Ye Qingshan would never come back.
“Hey, what’s wrong with you kid? I just asked casually.” Ye Lan and Ye Qingshan looked alike, and the way she said it was the same as when Ye Qingshan got angry and beat her up. In this way, Jin Xiuli was somewhat frightened.
“Your aunt has no other meaning. She just wanted to ask if your field is still going to be planted. Now everyone has planted seedlings. If you don’t do it, it will be too late.” Ye Qinghe hurriedly spoke for his wife. The fields were still in the hands of others now, so they could not be offended.
“Yes, yes, yes, I don’t mean anything else. I just wanted to remind you to plant rice soon, and it won’t be good after the season. You said that all three of you siblings have to go to school. It would be wasteful to leave it alone. I’ve discussed it with your uncle. It’s not selling, it’s a rental. When it’s ripe, we’ll give you 20%. We’ll pick it out for you after it’s been beaten and dried, right?”
Jin Xiuli looked at Fang Xianfeng, “That’s right, 20%. I’ll pick it out for you when it’s dry. Not only the millet, but also the corn, radish and other things will be divided into 20% for you.”
Fang Xianfeng was stunned at first, then immediately answered. When she said this, Ye Qinghe and his wife on the side showed puzzled expressions. Obviously, they had not mentioned that corns and radishes should be divided before, but they did not refute, and they all nodded in acknowledgement. No matter what happened, they would have the final say on the harvest after getting the fields. They could just give them a basket of corn and radishes, and Ye Qingshan would have nothing to say when he came back.
Ye Ning knew clearly what they were thinking. Even if the land was not sold, let alone selling it, she would not let them plant it.
Ye Ning smiled and said, “My dad thinks it’s not worthwhile to come back, so he decided not to come back.” Hearing this, several of them suddenly smiled. “What else can you say? You are about to take the college entrance examination, and Ye Lan is also taking the high school entrance examination. Her grades have always been good, so she will definitely be able to go to high school. Xiao Gu is still so young, and the fields will definitely not be able to be cultivated. Of course, if they’re rented to us, you wait, I’ll call grandpa.”
The eldest aunt ran home without waiting for Ye Ning to say anything, told the news that Ye Qingshan would not come back, and then asked the old man to go to Ye Ning’s place, this kind of thing required the old man to come forward. They really wanted things and face, but unfortunately, did they have such things?
Ye Ning was too lazy to argue with Ye Qinghe and his wife, and went into the house with Ye Lan to put away the dishes.
Not long after, the old man came with his eldest daughter-in-law. Seeing him, Ye Ning really wanted to ask if he was really Ye Qingshan’s biological father. If there was a stepmother, then there would really be a stepfather. It made no sense. He loved an outsider more than his own son.
“Your dad said he can’t come back?” Old Man Ye took two puffs of dry cigarette and sighed, “It costs at least twenty or thirty yuan for a round trip. It’s not cost-effective. Did he tell you what happened? Do you plan to let us plant the land?”
“I won’t let you plant the land.” Ye Ning choked them.
“Fart.” Seeing Old Man Ye looking at her, Ye Fangming restrained himself, “You…your dad is going to spend the Chinese New Year alone…, if he says he won’t come back, then…just give it to us.”
“That’s definitely not for you, so I should ask grandpa to plant it. Right?” Ye Ning looked at Old Man Ye and saw that he was only smoking and not talking. She snorted softly in her heart. He really didn’t care about the child his previous wife had given birth to.
“I was just joking about what I said just now. My dad let me sell the land.”
These words made Jin Xiuli laugh out loud, “I think you are just joking. Your father asked you to sell the land? Xiao Ning, your father must have said to give us the land. How can your grandpa grow so much land by himself? Why don’t you rent it to us?”
Ye Ning glanced at them and said, “It’s because of you that my dad planned to sell it. My dad said, anyway, we can’t get it back if we rent it to you, so we might as well sell it to pay for the tuition.”
Old Man Ye stopped smoking and stared at Ye Ning, “Some jokes can’t be made, can the land even be sold? If you really don’t worry, let’s ask the old party secretary to be a witness and write a lease deed. When the crop comes, we can also ask the old party secretary to be a witness. You will not be left behind.”
“Dad.”
Auntie called, the old party secretary and their family didn’t deal well with each other, he would definitely not help them when the time came. She had never thought of actually giving them 20%.
Ye Ning raised her chin, “See, your daughter-in-law has never thought of paying rent.”
Old man Ye glared at Jin Xiuli, “I will be renting this land, and I will pick out the food for you when the time comes. I’m your biological grandfather, how can I lie to you?”
“Grandpa is my biological grandfather, but grandma is not my biological grandmother. Do you have the final say in the family? Unfortunately, when the step-grandma said the last thing, you didn’t dare to let go of anything.”
Old man Ye blushed, “You…you are a high school student, how can you talk like that?”
“My dad really asked me to sell the land, and I have already sold it.” Ye Ning did not intend to continue to talk to them, at this time, Ye Ning also invited the old party secretary and Er Mazi to come over.
Ye Ning stood up to welcome them in, and said with a smile: “I have sold it to Uncle Youcai, and the deed has been written, so you can’t do anything about it.”
“You…you really sold it?” Old Man Ye definitely didn’t believe that Ye Qingshan would sell the land, so the only possibility was that Ye Ning had sold the land by herself. He pointed at Ye Ning with a hand that was shaking, “There is no way that Ye Qingshan would sell the land. Don’t you feel bad for selling your father’s land? You unfilial daughter actually sold the land while your father was not at home? Why didn’t you sell yourself…”
As he said this, Old Man Ye covered his chest and fell on the stool, looking at Old Party Secretary and Er Mazi, “The children are ignorant, but don’t you know either? How can Qingshan sell the land? I don’t recognize this broken contract.”
