Chapter 146: Colluding together

Just because he was dealing with a child, Ye Jiu didn’t think much of it.

After Ye Jiu left, Goudan bounced off to the corner of the nearby house and ran, “I said what you told me to say, now give me the candy quickly.”

Goudan reached out his hand to Lady Li in front of him, yet his tone lacked any respect.

Lady Li’s reputation and past actions were well-known in Wangshan Village. The adults looked down on her, and even the children were taught to stay away from her and her daughter.

Today, if it weren’t for the lure of candy, Goudan wouldn’t have fallen for Lady Li’s tricks.

Lady Li handed the two pieces of candy to Goudan with a smile, not forgetting to instruct, “Goudan, don’t forget our deal, the candy is yours, but you can’t tell anyone about this, understand?”

Lady Li wanted to pat Goudan on the head, but he quickly darted past her hand.

“Got it, got it,” mumbled Goudan, with the sticky candy already in his mouth.

Once he was far enough away and could no longer see Lady Li, Goudan turned his head and muttered, “Hmph, you don’t want me to tell, but I’m going to say it anyway.”

When he got home, Goudan loudly exclaimed, “Mom, Mom, that old woman gave me candy, it tasted so sweet and so good.”

“Which old woman?” Goudan’s mother came out from inside the house, not really paying much attention.

“It’s Ye Silly’s young stepmother; she gave me candy to lure Ye Silly to the back hill, and she said not to tell anybody,” said Goudan.

“Lady Li, that woman, she must be wanting to vent on that girl again,” Goudan’s mother muttered, not really taking it seriously, but then speculated, “Ye Jiu isn’t silly anymore. If Lady Li dares to mess with her, who knows who’ll end up unlucky in the end!”

Turning to look at Goudan, Goudan’s mother didn’t forget to warn, “I’m telling you, you little rascal, don’t call people ‘Ye Silly’ in front of the Ye family members, or I won’t be able to save you if Mrs. He gets involved.”

Over the years, Mrs. He had successfully kept Lady Li firmly under control, and she was undoubtedly not to be underestimated by others, and when it came to arguing and cursing, Mrs. He had never lost in the village.

It’s just that these past two years, perhaps because of her age, she’d become somewhat lower profile than before, and a lot more amiable too.

It wasn’t until Ye Jiu reached the withered reeds at the back of the village that she realized something was wrong.

With all the children of the main branch and second branch family at home, if Ye Gaosheng had needed to contact her, he would have used his own kids, not someone else’s.

Thinking back to her twitching eyelid today, Ye Jiu had a bad premonition.

Turning around, Ye Jiu wanted to hurry home.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Just as she was about to turn around, a pain shot through her neck from the back, and she lost consciousness.

…

At the Ye Family, only one person returned home from the two Ye Gaoshui and his spouse had set out.

Ye Gaoshui had originally planned to retrieve some silver from the Zhao Family, but it’s difficult to get back things that have fallen into others’ hands.

Helpless, Ye Gaoshui left Mrs. Ye at the Zhao Family and made up his mind that if he could not retrieve the twenty taels of silver, Mrs. Ye would just have to stay there.

With a dispirited look on his face, Ye Gaoshui entered the house. Mrs. He saw him and scoffed, “I raised my son with all this care, and in the end, he skims off all the silver I have to show filial respect elsewhere, all these heartless little bastards. If they have the guts to split the family, don’t rely on scheming against home assets. Without the capability, they envy, yet dare to meddle in my business, why not just take my life too…”
