The engagement was broken off so easily at the beginning, so Old Lady Ye naturally didn't expect that they would live so comfortably. If she had known that they were living so well, she would definitely have come to make a fuss.

After leaving the clinic, Ye Lian'er bowed to Yu Xiuying and her daughter and said, "Thank you, auntie. If it weren't for you, I would have..."

Yu Xiuying helped her up: "After all, you call me aunt, how could I watch you being bullied?"

"Aunt, Shi'an, I haven't seen you for so long, are you doing well?"

As soon as she asked this question, Ye Lian'er regretted it. Looking at their clothes and appearance, how could they not be living well? And those who were following them from a distance should be servants. She could see clearly that they were very respectful to her aunt and Ye Shi'an and her sister.

Ye Xianchun spoke first: "We are fine, Lian'er, we don't live here, we have to go back now."

As he said this, he pulled Ye Shian and Yu Xiuying and was about to leave. Ye Lian'er followed them and wanted to ask them where they lived now, but she felt it was inappropriate and could only watch their backs as they left.

After the group walked a long way away, Ye Xianchun finally let go of Ye Shian and Yu Xiuying's hands.

"Huh, since we're no longer related, there's no need to keep in touch. The best outcome is for everyone to be well."

It seems that everyone knows very well what kind of person Old Lady Ye is.

Ye Shian had no choice but to tell what he had concealed before: "Actually, I have met Ye Hai a long time ago, but I didn't tell you."

Yu Xiuying knew what her two daughters meant: "When I saw Lian'er's face covered in blood just now, I got a little upset. It was my fault. I shouldn't have rushed out."

Ye Shian shook his head and comforted Yu Xiuying: "Mom, don't say that. Even if you don't go out, I won't watch Lian'er being bullied."

However, she would report to the police, or let Liu Niang come forward, but she would never come forward herself.

After this incident, the mother and her two children had no mood to go shopping and decided to return to Changning Village.

Zhang Sanjin and Liu Niang stayed in the shop to clean up. Tomorrow Ye Shian would come to teach them how to cook pig's head. Their son Xiaoliang would live in the village temporarily, and they would bring him over when things were stable here.

When Ye Lian'er returned home, Tian was eating melon seeds and Xiaoshan had gone off to play somewhere.

Mrs. Ye is not at home either.

She silently walked into the house with the things in her hand. Tian looked up casually and saw that her daughter's forehead was bandaged.

She cried out, "Lian'er, what happened to your forehead? Who did this? Oh my, a girl's face has been disfigured, what should I do..."

Old Lady Ye came back from outside with a basket of vegetables. Before she even entered the house, she heard her daughter-in-law yelling. She couldn't help but feel a little resentful: "Whose face is disfigured?"

"Mother, Lian'er's face, Lian'er's face has been disfigured."

Old Lady Ye hurried forward and said, "Lian'er, let grandma take a look. Oh, this, this is not good, we are just about to get engaged to the Qian family, and the betrothal gifts haven't been paid yet, and your face has been messed up like this, will the Qian family regret it?"

Ye Lian'er sneered in her heart. Even though she was injured like this, they were only worried about whether the Qian family would go back on their word and didn't care about her life or death at all.

Tian was unhappy: "Mother, it's already this time, why are you still concerned about the Qian family? My daughter is so outstanding, even if there is no Qian family, there are still the Li family and the Wang family."

After complaining, Tian turned to look at her daughter and said, "Lian'er, what's going on? Why don't you say something? Are you trying to make me die of anxiety?"

Pursing her lips, Ye Lian'er finally spoke: "My stall was smashed."

"Who is it? I'll go find her."

Ye Lian'er looked at Tian coldly: "By the time you go to look for her, she will have already run away."

"Well, what should I do? Will this beating be in vain?"

Old Lady Ye followed suit and shouted, "No, we can't be beaten for nothing. Lian'er, tell me who it is and I'll help you vent your anger..."

Ye Lian'er didn't want to discuss this issue. She was very tired and wanted to go back to sleep.

She broke free from Old Lady Ye's hand and silently returned to her room, leaving Old Lady Ye and Tian staring at each other in the yard.

Ye Hai came back from the restaurant in the evening. He was heartbroken to know that Lian'er was bullied. Although he, as the eldest brother, was not good at speaking, he really loved his younger siblings.

Lian'er, in particular, is sensible and obedient, and much more likable than Xiaoshan.

"Lian'er, are you okay with your injury?"

After a good night's sleep, Ye Lian'er's mood was not so bad anymore. She forced a smile and said, "It's okay. The doctor at the clinic has already checked me out."

"Don't go to the stall alone next time. At least bring your mom or grandma with you."

Ye Lian'er lowered her head and suddenly squeezed out a sentence: "How do you think my aunt and the others are doing now?"

Ye Hai's heart trembled when he suddenly mentioned them, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface: "Why are you mentioning them for no reason?"

"I always thought that my aunt and Ye Shian were weak, but this time I saw them and I thought they were really strong. Judging from the way they were dressed, they must be living well."

"You saw them too?" Ye Hai blurted out.

Ye Lian'er was stunned: "You have seen them too?"

Ye Hai lowered his head gloomily: "From a distance, it looks like Shi'an."

"Lian'er, did you also see your aunt and the others today?"

Ye Lian'er nodded: "It was my aunt who saved me today, and it was they who took me to the clinic."

The door was suddenly pushed open with great force, and Old Lady Ye burst in: "Are you telling the truth? Was it really the clinic that the eldest brother's wife took you to?"

Ye Lian'er didn't expect her grandmother to eavesdrop at the door, and couldn't help but frowned: "Grandma, how could you eavesdrop?"

Old Lady Ye didn't care: "I'm your grandmother, how can I be eavesdropping? I'm just concerned about you."

Old Lady Ye didn't care about privacy at all. She excitedly pulled Ye Lian'er's hand and said, "What do you mean by they are living well? Do you know where they live now?"

"Girl, why don't you say something?"

Ye Lian'er took a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "I don't know where they live, and I don't know if they are doing well."

"Didn't you say you saw them today? If you did, why didn't you ask them?"

Ye Lian'er pulled back her hand, her expression cold: "Grandma, are you concerned about my aunt?"

It was impossible for Old Lady Ye to care about the life or death of Yu Xiuying and her daughter. She just wanted to live a better life.

"Of course. I am Shi'an's grandmother and Yu Xiuying's mother-in-law. Of course I hope they live well."

Ye Lian'er sneered in her heart, how could she not know what kind of person her grandmother was.

Not only Old Lady Ye was excited, even Mrs. Tian pulled Ye Lian'er aside and asked quietly. Ye Lian'er didn't want to say anything so she could only play it safe.

As a result, Ye Lian'er's wound had not yet healed, but she was dragged by Old Lady Ye and Mrs. Tian to set up a stall to sell handkerchiefs. Ye Lian'er was so angry that she refused to go no matter what, and they scolded her for being ungrateful.
