Ye Xinfan, Ye Jian’s father, an honest and straightforward villager.
When Ye Zifan was young, he was not afraid of his elder brother; he felt he was not nimble enough. Right now, after knowing something he didn’t know, Ye Zifan nodded without a hint of surprise as he said: “It’s no wonder Lass Jian is unlike elder brother, she’s not elder brother’s child.”
Their facial features were different; their IQ was different; the way they handled things was different. It made sense that she wasn’t his elder brother’s child.
How about his uncle’s son? The elders in the village mentioned that when his aunt returned with his uncle, the whole village was shocked; the way she walked and talked was akin to a fairy. It was said that she was so beautiful that the famous villain in town wanted to occupy her.
Ye Zifan calmly glanced at Old Granny Ye; he realized her mean eyelids were drooping as if she didn’t want him to look into her eyes.
It seems that Old Granny Ye was quite apprehensive towards his uncle’s family and his uncle’s son.
His aunt was an outsider who returned with his uncle, even walking and talking was akin to a fairy…… This means that his aunt was quite temperamental back in those days.
For someone able to raise such a beautiful and temperamental daughter in that era, she was definitely not from an ordinary family. Since his aunt had an extraordinary background, why would she follow his uncle back to the village?
It was also a turbulent era, fighting landlords, fighting capitalist…… Many wealthy people married their daughters off to people with three generations of poverty; even Old Granny Ye was married downwards.
Could it be that it was the same for his aunt? The outsider followed his uncle to the poor mountain village…… Ye Zifan thought about it and couldn’t help narrow his eyes.
Ye Jian suddenly became unyielding when she was in her second year of middle school; he had always suspected there was someone behind her, could it be…… his aunt’s family come over to look for her, treating Ye Jian as his aunt’s granddaughter and secretly raising her?
It was possible!
By his side, Old Granny Ye, who was feeling nasty inside, continued talking: “I’ve even raised your elder brother, there’s some affection. I would not ask you to raise her into trash if that damn girl was actually his child!”
There was less gloom on her face, only disgust: “Only Sun Xueqing knows who that damn girl’s daughter is!”
”Mother, aunt’s side……” Ye Zifan still wanted to ask about the past. When the school bell indicating the end of the first exam rang, he heard Old Granny Ye directly interrupting him, “The exam’s over, go urge the guard, ask him to call the teacher again.”
He could tell that Old Granny Ye didn’t want to mention his eldest uncle’s family.
Ye Zifan felt he had a clue to investigate the person behind Ye Jian, but he didn’t plan to tell Old Granny Ye.
Teacher Tong returned to the office holding the exam papers, a teacher invigilating the exam after the recess said: “Teacher Tong, the grandma of Ye Jian from your class is outside the school, she says there’s something to discuss with you.”
Ye Jian’s grandmother?
There were traces of surprise on Teacher Tong’s face; Ye Jian still had a grandmother?
After thanking the teacher who passed the message, Teacher Tong directly headed to the school gate.
She headed to the school gate and saw an elderly dressed in a modified outfit from the republic era standing outside. There was also a woman in red beside her; you can tell she had a good temperament even from a distance.
As for the person on the elderly’s right-hand side….. Teacher Tong couldn’t help but tighten her expression.
Ye Ying’s father, he was now a cadre in the provincial government.
”You should be my granddaughter’s form teacher, Teacher Tong, right?” Old Granny Ye smiled kindly on her doughy face; she greeted kindly, “It’s been hard on Teacher Tong for making a trip. I’m Ye Jian’s grandmother, I haven’t seen my granddaughter for a long time and I miss her a lot…… Sigh, I just wanted to come over to see her, see if she’s doing well.”
