Chapter 203 Their Good Days Are Here
She will never forget how, in the freezing cold, Grandpa Wang trudged through the snow to bring food to her family. The snow was as deep as an adult's knees, and his nose and ears were red from the cold, his hands covered in chilblains. He helped her family get through the most difficult days.
Ye Xiaoxiao pulled the elderly couple aside and persuaded them, "Grandpa and Grandma, please don't refuse anymore. It would be too formal to refuse. We're practically family, and we've developed a bond over the years."
Seeing that they couldn't refuse, the elderly couple had no choice but to accept.
After the two elders were seated, Zhao Ruoyun's voice came from the doorway.
"Xiao Xiao! I'm sorry, I'm a little late."
The round-faced girl wore a sandy pink brocade tube top with a light blue jacket over it, looking lively, light, and adorable.
Ye Xiaoxiao greeted her with a smile, and seeing that she was alone, she asked:
"Ruoyun, why are you the only one here today? Where is your brother?"
"Xiao Xiao, don't mention my brother. I'm late tonight because of him. Don't worry about him! He said he couldn't find the medicinal herb you mentioned, and he was too embarrassed to show his face in front of you. He only asked me to bring the gift he had prepared. Never mind him, let's have some private conversation and have some fun!"
This was the first time Qian Ruoyun had ever seen her brother so serious.
I thought he was just joking when he said he wanted to lose weight, but I didn't expect him to be serious about it.
That's good too. It's better to have something to temper his temper than to bully men and women in town all day long.
"Xiao Xiao, I'm so happy you came to town. It will be so much easier to visit you in the future."
Qian Ruoyun affectionately took Ye Xiaoxiao's hand and sat down next to Zhao Yun'er.
A large group of people were drinking and chatting when a servant came in from outside the door.
"Excuse me, is this Dr. Ye's house?"
Ye Xiaoxiao stood up and walked to the door: "That's me."
The servant respectfully handed the gift to Ye Xiaoxiao.
“My young master’s surname is Yang. He knows that Miss Ye’s family is celebrating their housewarming today, so he has prepared these small gifts. He hopes that Miss Ye will not find them too much.”
"My young master also said that he will personally come to invite Doctor Ye to his home for a celebratory drink on the day of the young lady's full moon celebration."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoxiao realized that it was a gift from Yang Mu.
She readily accepted the gift from the servant.
"Young man, it's lunchtime. If you don't mind, have a couple of bites before you go back to report to your young master."
Although the servant declined repeatedly, he instantly developed a much better impression of Doctor Ye, whom he was meeting for the first time, and turned to leave.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
After saying that, Ye Xiaoxiao returned to the house, took out a prescription for postpartum care for women, and two packets of snacks that she had bought while shopping for groceries that morning, and handed them to the servant.
"Take this prescription back to your young master and tell him it's a prescription to help your young mistress recover."
"Since you're not eating at my house, why don't you have some snacks to tide you over? It's kind of you to have come all this way. Here are a few coins; you can buy an iced drink from a street vendor to cool off."
The servant Shuangfu was deeply moved; all the hard work of running such a long distance vanished in that instant.
At first, none of the servants in the mansion wanted this thankless and arduous task, especially since the sun was so hot in the summer that it could melt a person.
As a newcomer, he was naturally the target of bullying by the old servants in the mansion.
So, this arduous task fell to him.
Now it seems that this doesn't look like a chore at all.
He said goodbye to Ye Xiaoxiao and left happily with the things in his hands.
After the banquet ended, Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang were about to go home. Before leaving, Mother He gave the two elderly people two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes that she had embroidered.
Ye Xiaoxiao packed them a lot of food.
When they arrived, He Yunzhou picked them up, and when they left, he naturally escorted the two elders home safely.
For no other reason than that the two elders had helped his aunt's family back then, he would be willing to give them away or even bring them to the capital to live out their retirement.
The horse-drawn carriage clattered into the village and stopped in front of Grandpa Wang's house.
He Yunzhou put the person down and then carried the fine flour, white rice, and other food that Ye Xiaoxiao had given to the two elders into the house.
He then went into the kitchen to ask for a drink of water and left.
The nosy village women rushed to Wang Da Niang's house to see what was going on. They watched as bags of good things were carried into the two old people's home, and they all looked on with envy.
"Aunt Wang, who is this person? He's a wealthy relative of yours, he looks kind of familiar."
Aunt Sun spoke first; nothing in the village, not even the slightest disturbance, escaped her notice.
When she has nothing to do, she likes to chat about this family and that family.
The others chimed in, "Yeah, they picked you up in the morning and brought you back in the afternoon in such a grand carriage. They must be really rich!"
"Does that young man look just like the one who helped He Jing and the others move a few days ago?"
"I knew it! No wonder it looked so familiar."
Grandpa Wang never wentssiped with these women; he went inside and busied himself.
Aunt Wang wasn't a meddlesome person either. Standing at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the people with their ears all stretched out, she decided to annoy them a little.
"Today, He Jing and Xiao Xiao's family are celebrating their housewarming, and they specially invited us to come and share in their joy."
"You didn't see their huge mansion! It has six or seven rooms, and it's two stories high, facing the street and the river. I've lived this long, and this is the first time I've ever seen such a magnificent house."
"Their good days are coming!"
After hearing what Aunt Wang said, the group all looked at the dilapidated little house where Ye Xiaoxiao and the others used to live.
Now, the house is empty, and even the grass in the yard has started to grow wildly.
To be honest, this house needs people to live in it to keep it afloat.
They had only moved out a few days ago, but the old house already looked much more dilapidated than before, and it seemed as if it was about to collapse.
Aunt Sun clearly didn't believe what Aunt Wang said, and said with a sharp and sarcastic expression.
"Alright, alright, you have no idea how much they've benefited from you, and you're still speaking up for them. I don't believe they've really become successful and are living in big houses. Pshaw, making it sound so nice to say they're living under someone else's roof."
Some people are like that; they can't stand seeing others doing better than themselves, and they have to slander the other person to cover up their insane jealousy.
Later, many villagers saw Mother He coming out of the mansion when they went to the market in town, and only then did they believe that they had really settled down in Qifeng Town. Of course, that's another story.
Seeing that the other party didn't believe her, Aunt Wang wanted to say something more.
"Old woman! Come quick! Come quick!!"
