Chapter 1112: Not Blood-Related So They Can’t Get Close
He didn’t know who was helping Ye Jian and didn’t know if the person helping Sun Yaozu was the same person who was helping him. He didn’t know anything he wanted to know!
If he didn’t know, he needed to investigate. Since there was no progress after so much investigation, he would change his method.
Just like what Uncle Gen said, Ye Zhifan didn’t feel at ease when his position rose so quickly with the help of the jade. He felt that since that person was able to raise him up, he could make him fall too. The great power this person had made him suspect that this person was a high-ranking official in the capital city.
As for Grandma Ye, she was so furious she almost threw the phone on the ground. However, she couldn’t do anything to Ye Zhifan. After all, she was the one who needed his help!
“Why are you always angry? Can we have some peace?” Grandpa Ye was sitting outside. He walked into the room with his hands behind his back. His voice was old and tired. He panted as he said, “When you carried him home that year, you should have guessed that you won’t get close with him because you are not blood-related!”
Grandma Ye was no longer afraid that she wouldn’t have a spot in the house because she couldn’t give birth to a son. Hence, she said angrily, “If you didn’t urge me so desperately in the past, why would I carry that ungrateful soul home?”
“Then, do you think that you raised this son properly?” Grandpa Ye replied indifferently. He placed his hand behind his back and left nonchalantly. He wasn’t able to decide anything at home so if he continued, he would only get humiliated.
Grandma Ye couldn’t breathe properly because of her anger. Even her heart started hurting. She was furious but she didn’t lose her cool.
Since Ye Zhifan wanted to get Ye Jian’s registered residence back, she must settle this matter for future cooperation to happen.
After her daughter and her son-in-law came back, they needed to go to the provincial city again. She would go and find Ye Jian personally! She wanted to see if Ye Jian dared to be disrespectful to an elder in front of the leaders of the school!
Little does Ye Jian, who was in school at this moment, know that Grandma Ye will personally come for her. On the last day of the Chinese New Year, she even called the village and spoke to Uncle Gen and Principal Chen happily.
Some people from the military unit came to look for them too. An officer brought two soldiers along to send them some glutinous rice balls and some medicated wine for the leg. A military surgeon also came along.
Ye Jian’s call came at the right moment. The military surgeon had just finished inspecting Principal Chen’s body.
When she knew that some soldiers stationed in Fujun Town came to look for them, Ye Jian felt less worried.
“They will come and visit me every half a month to help me tidy the house. I will go to the military unit to teach them occasionally too. I’m getting old so sometimes, I really don’t want to move. It feels good to just sit at home quietly.”
Looking at the olive figures bustling in his room, Uncle Gen laughed and said to Ye Jian, “At that time, I will pass this house and the secret passageway left behind by the old soldiers to Uncle Chen.”
The huge mountain tunnel that led to the military unit was formed during the Second Sino-Japanese war. The other military units stationed there enlarged the hole and that was how it became so huge now.
If nothing happened to Ye Jian’s mother, she would be the one in charge of the communication between the village and the military unit.
Ye Jian was smiling happily as she said, “That’ll depend on whether Uncle Chen is willing to accept it or not. If Uncle Chen can accompany you in the village, that will be great.”
Her words were conveyed to Principal Chen. After some time, he smiled and replied, “Jian, Shuikou Village is a good place. Even if you don’t say anything, I will stay here too. After a hundred days, I will return to the village to accompany Old Gen. Sometimes I will visit the military unit. That will be my life from now onwards.”
