Grandpa, your granddaughter and her grandson-in-law are wearing it back.

Ye Jinhua and Grandpa Ye returned home. Ye Jingang was sitting on a stone bench in the yard, sitting with his legs crossed and eating melon seeds.

Shouldn't he go out and inquire about Yu Wenqing's affairs? Why is he so leisurely at home? Ye Jinhua asked puzzledly: "Third brother, didn't you go out?"

"Yes, he still lives in that alley, but he doesn't live in the yard anymore. He just has a shack at the end of the alley. There's nothing much to ask about him. Every now and then an old lady comes to bring him some food, and that's how he makes a living."

"Who is that old lady?"

Ye Jingang's expression was a little strange when he heard this. He wanted to keep it a secret and let them guess, but after thinking about it, he gave up and said directly: "It's an Oiran he used to keep in a brothel."

"Ah?" Everyone present was stunned.

"This... can be considered as a gesture of loyalty and righteousness." After a long while, only Ji Ruixiang made such a comment.

"What does she do? In this situation, she still has the energy to bring food to that old man. It seems that her family situation is not bad." Ye Jinhua asked again.

"After she became the master of her own business and shed her status, the street committee took care of them and arranged jobs for them. She now sweeps the streets around here."

"Isn't she married? How could her family agree to her supporting such a person?"

"I'm not married, I don't have any family, I'm all alone." As he said this, he put another melon seed into his mouth.

"It's hard to judge. They're so affectionate and loyal, why don't they just live together? This is so troublesome."

"I don't think she looks like she's repaying a favor. Instead, it seems like she has some leverage over that old man and has no choice but to take care of him." Ye Jin said after spitting out the melon seed shells in his mouth.

"What do you mean?" Everyone looked at Ye Jingang curiously.

"The courtesan's name is Sanniang. She always comes reluctantly, leaving her things behind and leaving. If she doesn't come for a while, Yu Wenqing will go looking for her. Every time, he'll ask her for food, and sometimes even wine."

Everyone fell into deep thought upon hearing this, wondering what leverage could a courtesan have in the hands of a former rich man?

Ye Jin just sat up straight and said mysteriously, "Think about it, Yu Wenqing was a playboy who was good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. He must know a lot of secrets of dignitaries.

This courtesan had seen a lot in her time, so perhaps she had stumbled upon some shocking secret, which Yu Wenqing had discovered. Everyone nodded in agreement.

Ye Jinhua's eyes lit up, "Third brother, can we start investigating from this aspect? Maybe we can find out more about Yu Wenqing."

Ye Jingang waved his hand, "Don't worry, this is just my guess. But I plan to find an opportunity to get close to the courtesan and test her opinion."

But before he could take action, something happened to Yu Wenqing.

Sanniang has not been having a good time lately. She already has a bad reputation due to her identity, and she can't get rid of Yu Wenqing's entanglement. Her life is miserable.

So, the neighborhood committee thought that she was still in frequent contact with bad elements and that her ideological education was not adequate, so they fired her job.

Originally, she relied on this salary to support herself, and it was enough to help Yu Wenqing from time to time, but now that she has lost her job, she has no hope at all.

Just like giving up, she didn't send food to Yu Wenqing for several days. Yu Wenqing suffered a setback at the Ye family and had no chance to meet Ji Lingyu for the time being, so he went to Sanniang to ask for food and vent his anger.

Sanniang was forced into a quarrel with him. Yu Wenqing's body was hollowed out by alcohol and sex, and he had no strength at all.

Sanniang swept the streets every day and had enough food to eat, so she had already developed a lot of strength. During the scuffle, Sanniang accidentally pushed Yu Wenqing to the ground.

Yu Wenqing hit his head on a rock and fainted instantly. Sanniang was terrified and stood there, bewildered. Neighbors heard the commotion and gathered around, and someone rushed to call a doctor.

The commotion was quite loud, and it was not far from the old house of the Ji family. Brother Fang was laying tiles on the roof in the front yard when he saw the old beggar who had caused trouble a few days ago being carried out of a yard. He quickly notified several people from the Ye family.

Ye Jinhua and Ye Jingang, brother and sister, rushed over and frowned when they saw the scene in front of them.

The doctor came and checked and shook his head, saying that Yu Wenqing was too seriously injured and might not make it.

When Sanniang heard this, she collapsed to the ground and burst into tears, muttering that she didn't mean it.

At this time, someone in the crowd whispered that Sanniang might go to jail.

Ye Jinhua felt a little reluctant and looked at Ye Jingang.

Ye Jingang pondered for a moment before walking forward to help Sanniang up and said to everyone, "This was just an accident. Everyone saw it. It was Yu Wenqing who started the trouble first."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Ye Jingang continued, "Sanniang has always been a miserable person, constantly oppressed by Yu Wenqing. Although what happened now was caused by her, it was also done in self-defense. We should give her a chance to mend her ways."

Everyone nodded after hearing this, and someone said, "That's right, this Yu guy is a bad guy to begin with, and everyone has the right to kill him. Besides, he was the one who started the trouble."

"Yes, we have been neighbors for decades, and we all know each other. He just bullies Sanniang, a woman with no one to back her up."

"Don't be afraid, Sanniang. We will all testify for you."

Sanniang looked at the people around her with tears of gratitude, and soon people from the Public Security Bureau and the patrol team arrived.

The neighbors explained the matter to each other one by one, and then they carried Yu Wenqing away. Finally, Sanniang was also taken away, saying that they wanted to find out more about the situation.

Sanniang looked deeply at the two siblings of the Ye family, and then left with the people from the Public Security Bureau.

Ye Jinhua and Ye Jingang hid their achievements and fame and quietly withdrew from the crowd.

After returning, the two men explained the situation in detail to the three elderly people.

"Sanniang should be fine, right?" Grandma Ye was a little worried about Sanniang.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. They are just going through the motions. Jin Gang has guided the public opinion in advance. In addition, considering Yu Wenqing's identity, they will not delve into Sanniang's faults." Grandpa Ye made an analysis.

Sure enough, Sanniang was released the next day. The neighborhood committee said that she dared to fight against bad elements. Not only did they verbally commend her, they also arranged a new job for her.

After Yu Wenqing was carried away, he was not sent to the hospital, but was thrown into the yard of the patrol team and died before dawn.

After Sanniang returned, she went to the Ye family to express her gratitude. She brought some apples and eggs, her face full of gratitude. "Thanks to you two, brother and sister, otherwise I would have had a hard time getting away this time."

Grandma Ye took Sanniang's hand and said with a smile, "We are all neighbors, so we should take care of each other."
