Ye Jian nodded slightly. “I’ll listen to you. These are not things I should be bothered with. It’s not worth the effort. Don’t worry, I know what I need.”

She paused for a moment before continuing, “Actually, Sun Dongqing didn’t take much of the money. Most of it was given to my aunt’s family by my grandparents. A few years ago, they came back to visit. I mentioned the money and my aunt started creating a fuss. She said that I’m forcing her to die.”

“These things… Grandpa Gen, I remember all of them. I don’t want to have any relations.h.i.+p with my father’s relatives. Since my registered residence has been taken out, I don’t want to interact with them again.”

Grandpa Gen remembered what happened a few years ago too. The Ye family took all of Ye Jian’s mother’s pension. On the eve of New Year, Ye Jian’s aunt, Ye Zhixiang, secretly came back. She hadn’t been back in the village for many years.

He didn’t know what happened but she beat Ye Jian up and threw her outside. If the village leader, Zhang Fude, didn’t find Ye Jian on his way home after having a drink… This little girl might have lost her life.

That year, he went to celebrate the Chinese New Year in the military unit. When he came back on the fourth day of the new year, Ye Zhixiang and her family had left.

From then onwards, he never went to the military unit to celebrate the Chinese New Year anymore.

“Don’t think about those matters anymore. Think about the future.” Grandpa Gen knocked his pipe on the ground lightly. His face seemed blurry behind all the smoke. “Mind your own business and don’t care about them.”

Ye Jian narrowed her eyes. Her hand stopped in mid-air while holding the dried tobacco leaves. Her gaze turned serious.

She looked up slightly and saw Grandpa Gen’s tilting his body. He didn’t seem to want to talk about the Ye family.

She wanted to ask about her aunt and her family but now… Ye Jian didn’t think if it was a good time to ask.

Every time she talked about the Ye family, Grandpa Gen would be like this.

Forget it. She shouldn’t think too much about the Ye family. She wouldn’t ask them for any funds too.

Money was not something Ye Jian felt she should be bothered with. However, to Sun Dongqing, money was her life.

When she knew that Ye Jian had come back to the village, she started packing up. She wanted to leave tomorrow morning.” Yingying, call your father and ask him to send someone to fetch us tomorrow.”

“He asked us to live an uncorrupted life but he went to enjoy himself. I heard that the wicked girl Ye Jian is back in the village. I wonder if she’ll ask for her school fees from us. I’ll not give any money to her.”

As the only one who entered the Provincial No.1 Middle School in the village, Ye Ying was the spotlight of the village. If her father didn’t want to maintain an honest image for himself, they would’ve had a banquet.

Ye Ying looked up from her English books and said coldly, “Isn’t that money with grandpa? Grandpa is living with Aunt in the city now. Even if Ye Jian wants her money, you can tell her that grandma and grandpa took it.”

“Those two old people are enjoying themselves outside. When have they ever came back to see you? If we say that they took the money, your father will get angry.”

“Forget it. You won’t understand. Yingying, remember this. You can provoke everyone but your grandparents.” No matter how fierce Sun Dongqing was, she was afraid of her parents-in-law.
