The Tender Beauty is Sweetly Doted in the 20th Century Novel!-Chapter 185 - 184: Do You Even Hear Yourself?

Yang Xiumei is always like this, as soon as someone argues with her, she immediately raises her voice, her attitude aggressive, Ye Guoqiang can’t even remember what she was like when they first met.

After experiencing the taste of being praised for a few days, Ye Guoqiang feels he doesn’t need to listen to everything Yang Xiumei says anymore.

After all, she hasn’t raised a good daughter, his neglectful daughter Ye Manman turned out more successful.

Moreover, who didn’t look down on He Chen when Ye Manman married him? Now, isn’t he successful too? Isn’t he a hundred times better than Xie Fengmian? That guy even went to jail! Look at He Chen now, he’s a big boss, how much money he earns in a month is unknown.

The more he thinks, the more it feels like that’s the case.

Ye Xiaotong was cared for in vain.

"Helping is helping, but she’s been back at her parents’ house for a month, we’ve taken care of her throughout the confinement period, what about her in-laws? No financial support, no help, and the child still carries the Xie surname? Why doesn’t the Xie Family take responsibility?"

Ye Guoqiang directly put up a stance of a dead duck fearless of boiling water, "Anyway, I don’t care anymore, you take care of it yourself, you give birth to the daughter, you cherish her yourself, she’s not particularly filial or caring towards you, she’s grown up and still just sucking up the family’s resources, completely useless."

"Ye Guoqiang! Do you even hear yourself, is that human talk?"

Yang Xiumei was so angry she almost threw the diaper in her hand at his face, but she forced herself to hold back.

She realized Ye Guoqiang’s change over the past few days and suddenly understood his mindset.

"Do you think Manman became outstanding just because she topped the province in exams? You think you’re quite capable, don’t you?"

Yang Xiumei tossed the diaper aside and started pointing at his nose, cursing him directly.

"What capability do you have? You haven’t cared for a single day; she topped the exams on her own, didn’t you see Manman wasn’t even willing to acknowledge you just now? Do you think she’ll care for you when you’re old and dying? She might never come back after moving to the big city."

Seeing Ye Guoqiang remaining indifferent, Yang Xiumei was extremely furious.

"Fine, you think you’re amazing, not caring about us, then let’s live our separate lives. Go be the father of the top scorer, we’ll manage our lives ourselves, let’s see if she cares for you later. Bah, if you die at home, she probably wouldn’t even come back to check on you."

Their argument was loud since there were just a few people at home, Ye Xiaotong heard everything clearly from her room.

She lightly patted the son she held, her gaze was venomous, "Well done, Ye Guoqiang..."

In the past, he didn’t care about Ye Manman at all, but once she topped the province, he swelled with pride, thinking he’s all that, raising a top-scoring daughter and claiming she can’t compare to Ye Manman.

What Ye Xiaotong hated most in her life was hearing that sentence.

Now she has a son, soon all the Xie Family’s money will belong to her and her son, once she uses that money to start her business, she’d like to see what he says.

Can’t compare to Ye Manman?

Heh.

Ye Xiaotong rolled her eyes, immediately packed her things, and dramatically slapped five big unity notes on the table as she left holding her son.

The sound startled the aloof Ye Guoqiang.

Seeing Ye Xiaotong with a displeased look, he knew she had heard everything.

But he didn’t care, "What’s the meaning of this?"

Ye Xiaotong sneered insincerely, "Didn’t you say I stayed here without paying? This is a month’s rent for my stay, take it, I’m leaving today."

She left with her son and her belongings, decisively.

Ye Guoqiang reflexively stood up to stop her, but quickly realized there was no need to stop her.

So he said nothing, silently pocketing the fifty yuan.

Before leaving, Ye Xiaotong saw Ye Guoqiang taking the money from the table, causing her to sigh coldly inwardly.

She didn’t wait for Yang Xiumei to finish washing the diapers and left, since carrying a child and luggage was inconvenient, she found someone in the village with a tractor, paid them a bit to drive her back to town.

When Yang Xiumei finished washing the diapers and returned, she found the house in disarray, and Ye Xiaotong and the child were nowhere to be seen, she hurriedly rushed to the room.

Ye Guoqiang was actually lying on the bed asleep!

Yang Xiumei shouted, "Ye Guoqiang! Where’s Xiaotong? Did you drive her away? You heartless wretch, Xiaotong took the child, just finished confinement and you drove her out! Are you even her father?"

Ye Guoqiang was sleeping soundly, and not only did Yang Xiumei scold him, she also hit him several times.

He suddenly got angry, "She left on her own, I didn’t drive her away!"

Yang Xiumei looked at him with disappointment, "It’s because of what you said that upset her enough to leave!"

Ye Guoqiang was indifferent, "Didn’t I speak the truth?"

Yang Xiumei heard him and was about to hit him again.

Having been hit all over, Ye Guoqiang’s temper flared too, he directly pushed her to the ground.

"You better stop this fussing, she isn’t my biological daughter, feeding her all these years for free is enough, why are you causing a scene? Did I complain when my own daughter was bullied by you? If it weren’t for Manman being promising..."

"Manman, Manman, all day all you talk about is your daughter Manman, if you’re that capable, go find her, she doesn’t even want to recognize you as her father, what face do you have to rant here?!"

Yang Xiumei was never treated like this by Ye Guoqiang, she was so angry she sobbed uncontrollably while sitting on the ground.

"What did I do to deserve this, married you all these years, working hard, taking care of you, cooking, washing clothes for you, yet you hit me! You might as well just beat me to death!"

She was crying loudly, her expression was tragic, her face covered in tears. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Ye Guoqiang impulsively pushed her, realizing he might have gone too far.

But he couldn’t bring himself to console her, so he awkwardly left the house.

As he walked out, he muttered under his breath, "She doesn’t recognize me, but I am her biological father, that’s non-negotiable."

Yang Xiumei heard this and cried even more sorrowfully, her wailing filled the house.

Ye Guoqiang felt both annoyed and anxious hearing her cries, so he went outside, incidentally intending to see what others were saying about his daughter.

But he didn’t expect people in the village to resent him now, even encountering discussions about Ye Manman, as soon as he approached, they’d quickly disperse with excuses of having things to do at home or in the fields.

It took a long time for Ye Guoqiang to gather some key information, namely, the province issued a banner and there were pictures of Ye Manman with education bureau leaders.

He was puzzled why these things weren’t given to him, and why were they sent to the village?

No one paid him any attention, so Ye Guoqiang decided to go to the office of the village leader.

Before entering, Ye Guoqiang saw many people inside the office, everyone was spiritedly discussing the banner, village honor, and how large the photos were.

Everyone was praising Ye Manman, yet nobody mentioned him.

Ye Guoqiang gathered his courage, hardened his expression, and walked inside.

Originally people were having a lively discussion, some were admiring the photos of Ye Manman with the leaders, but as soon as he entered the room, it instantly quieted down, and everyone turned to look at him.

Ye Guoqiang wasn’t accustomed to being watched by everyone, but he still braced himself and took a couple more steps inside, looking at the large banner hung on the right wall.

"I heard the province issued a banner praising Manman, and her photo, right? Why didn’t the leader send them to my house?"
