Chapter 260: Chapter 260
Ye Ling saw her father come in, and the things he was holding, noticing his awkward expression. She took the initiative to get off the bed, took the things from her father’s hand, and brought bowls and chopsticks into the room.
"Dad, eat quickly. Yesterday we talked about moving back, and they all came early to help. They even bought breakfast. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have had breakfast. You came over so early, and probably haven’t eaten, right? Eat with us. After eating, we’ll just tidy up a bit."
Zhang Linong tactfully made room and climbed up onto the bed. Seeing his daughter help him out of the awkward situation, Ye He Ping finally felt a bit better. After eating with the kids, Ye Ling cleaned the table while asking Zhao Guodong and others to cover the firewood in the yard. Her things hadn’t even been moved; they had just been moved back to the main house as they were from school, with only the bedding rolled up.
Returning to the main house, Ye Ling still stayed in the East Room. Without Bai Hehua, she was living there alone this time. Bai Xue didn’t show any expression on her face, but after seeing Zhao Guodong finish lunch and return to the company, she couldn’t maintain her composure. She had originally thought her husband wouldn’t leave tonight, and that her youngest daughter would stay in the East Room, so that her husband would surely return to the West Room. But the plan fell through when he went back to stay with the team. How could she not feel uncomfortable? The source of this content ɪs novel⚑fire.net
Out of anger, she went back to the West Room and lay down. Ye Qian was joining the company in two days, so she spent these days saying goodbye to Song Mei and others. The day she joined the company, the lights in the Ye Family’s house were on early. Awakened by the noise in the East Room, Ye Ling didn’t get up. In the living room, Bai Xue and her youngest daughter were already ready, but after waiting a while and seeing no movement in the East Room, Bai Xue intended to call for someone.
Ye Qian held her back, "Mom, let my sister sleep. I’m joining the company, and I didn’t study as well as she did to get recruited, so I have no face to make her see me off."
Because of her youngest daughter’s words, Bai Xue blamed her older daughter again, only resenting her ruthlessness, adding salt to her sister’s wounds. Ye Ling listened to Ye Qian’s words like a white lotus in the East Room but didn’t go out. After all, no matter what she did, she couldn’t please them, so why bother pretending with them.
The outside door made a noise, and the house quieted down. Before dawn, Ye Ling went back to sleep. If Zhao Guodong and others hadn’t come looking, Ye Ling would have stayed lazy in bed.
Knowing Ye Ling wasn’t favored at home, they always invited her to the Zhao Family to play. Mrs. Zhao even made lunch asking Ye Ling to stay and eat, "Your mom sent your sister off, she must feel bad and probably won’t return at this time, eat here."
Could it be she can’t cook?
Others could see clearly, and Ye Ling understood even more, so she stayed at the Zhao Family to eat. She returned home in the afternoon, only to see the house was indeed quiet, and her mother hadn’t come back.
Bai Xue, having sent her daughter off, felt upset and went to her brother’s house. She had been busy with family matters lately, and her brother hadn’t visited since the last time. Bai Xue didn’t want to go home to face that daughter, so when she arrived at her brother’s home and saw the family of three, especially seeing her brother drinking and eating peanuts, she couldn’t contain her anger.
"Aren’t you working?" Bai Xue entered without a pleasant face.
Bai Guoping grinned upon seeing his sister, got off the bed, and welcomed her onto the bed, "Sis, what brings you here? Is Hehua’s temporary work sorted out?"
Bai Xue disliked her brother’s manner but nodded nonetheless. Bai Guoping was pleased to hear it, "That’s great, Sis, don’t worry, I will definitely do what I promised you."
Bai Xue, too lazy to look at him, turned to her sister-in-law, "Li Hua, Guoping is idling around every day, can’t you control him? You’re pregnant now, how can you sustain the family just on Hehua’s little income? Besides, once Hehua starts as a temporary worker in the company, with the low salary, without another income, how will you live?"
Regarding this sister-in-law, Bai Xue didn’t like her a bit, always lazy and indulgent, just like her brother, never saying a good word in front of her, just like a closed book.
Li Hua kept her head down and didn’t speak.
Bai Guoping hastily said, "Big Sis, she can’t control me, don’t blame her. Hehua works, and I’ll take her back to our hometown to earn some work points, somehow living through the year. But once the child is born, we have no money for the fine."
Seeing her brother was just asking for money, Bai Xue glanced at the family, mother and daughter bowed their heads seeming aggrieved, her brother always thinking of her as a source of money, always wanting some.
Bai Xue couldn’t contain her anger, "I have not even a penny, I only had eight yuan a few days ago and took it for Ye Qian since she joined the recruitment. Your brother-in-law even said he’s arranging a temporary job for me to work. His salary hasn’t been given to me this month, so don’t count on me, find a way yourself. When you asked me for help with Hehua’s company job, I even gave face to your brother-in-law, I’ve done my bit, but you can’t get a penny from me."
Bai Guoping didn’t believe it, "Sis, you see, I know you’re angry with me, but we have to live, with not a cent, and Hehua’s money is only enough for travel. Besides, even if brother-in-law doesn’t give you money, he must give some to Lingzi, right? I heard she got into university, wouldn’t he give her money?"
"You want me to ask her?" Bai Xue was almost driven mad by her brother, "I don’t need to say more, Ye Ling and I are like water and fire, whether it’s true or not, ask your Hehua to know, you either go back or starve here, I won’t help you."
Bai Xue couldn’t stay, got down from the bed, and walked out, ignoring her brother’s calls behind her. But Bai Hehua caught up, "Auntie, don’t get angry, I know you’re having a hard time now."
Seeing her niece’s pitiful look, Bai Xue couldn’t be harsh, "Go back, I’ll call you the day you enter the company for the checkup. This is what I can do for you, after entering the company it’s up to you, understand?"
"Auntie, I understand." Bai Hehua nodded firmly.
Watching her aunt leave, Bai Hehua pressed her lips. If only she had a proper job, would Lin Tao’s family look down on her so much? Even with her pregnancy, she was still blamed. If she were from a prominent family, they would have long fawned over her. Thinking of Shen Bin’s coldness, Bai Hehua felt that she had no choice but to ask her father to plead with her aunt, and promised her father she would definitely stay in the company, and after getting a job, would give half her salary to the family each month, that’s why her father was willing to ask her aunt. Otherwise, why would he be so kind? (To be continued. If you work, welcome to qidian.com to vote for recommendations and tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.
