Ye Linlang stood there neither humbly nor arrogantly, and her tone of voice didn't sound like a request, but more like a notification of an established fact.
When Ye Haifeng heard this, he immediately frowned.
"As a girl, why would you leave home for half a month to go to a mountain village and suffer? It would be bad if something happened."
No matter what, since Ye Linlang was taken back to the Ye family, no matter whether Mrs. Ye recognized Ye Linlang or not, Ye Linlang's surname was Ye after all, and she was Ye Haifeng's daughter.
If something happened in the Plum Blossom Village where no one had ever heard of anything, I'm afraid others would laugh at the incompetence of the Ye family.
Hearing Ye Haifeng's genuine yet fake concern, Ye Linlang pursed the corners of her lips slightly.
She couldn't help but feel a bit bitter in her heart, and some words flew out of her mouth without being thought through.
"Father, I spent fifteen years in that remote mountain in Xiaohuang Village. Now I am only going to stay here for half a month. What does it mean compared to before?"
Ye Haifeng paused when he heard this.
Is Ye Linlang asking him why he had abandoned her alone in the wilderness for the past fifteen years? !
Ye Haifeng looked at the girl in front of him. She stood with her back straight and her eyes as clear as cold spring water, with a bit of stubbornness and arrogance.
Compared with Ye Siyao, such a girl is too unlikable.
Even though he knew that what Ye Linlang said was not wrong at all, people are always selfish. After being abandoned for fifteen years, did Ye Linlang dare to bring up the past with him as an elder? !
…
Ye Siyao saw that Ye Haifeng remained silent but frowned slightly, obviously not liking the competitive words Ye Linlang had just said.
She loves to kick someone when he's down. Ye Siyao immediately raised her eyebrows and looked at Ye Linlang with some sarcasm.
"Ye Linlang, how can you talk to Dad like that! When you were in Xiaohuang Village, wasn't it Dad who sent money to the adoptive family every year?!"
"You are such a heartless person!"
When Ye Linlang heard Ye Siyao's attitude of talking without any pain in her waist, her heart seemed to be pinched hard by something, it hurt so much!
Looking at Ye Siyao's latest season's Chanel pink coat, the gorgeous and intricate satin material almost hurt Ye Linlang's eyes.
"Ye Siyao, do you know what kind of life I lived in Xiaohuang Village with the old lady from the Song family who raised me when you were living in the Ye family with nothing to worry about?"
Ye Siyao opened her mouth, of course wanting to directly refute by asking how would she know.
However, Ye Linlang interrupted her even faster.
"I still remember when I was seven years old, there was a week-long snowstorm in Xiaohuang Village. The mountains were blocked by heavy snow. My grandmother and I were shivering with cold. We huddled together and kept warm with thin cotton wool. We almost froze to death that winter."
When talking about these, Ye Linlang's eyes turned red and her hands were clenched tightly. It was obvious that she was extremely excited and almost out of control, but her thin back was still straight.
"Aren't you alive and well now—"
Ye Siyao listened and didn't take it seriously. She thought, why is Ye Linlang digging up old things? Who can't make up some unverifiable words? !
But Ye Linlang continued talking.
"After that winter, grandma's health deteriorated and she developed a serious illness. Whenever it rained or snowed, her legs would become stiff and painful, like being pricked by needles..."
Ye Linlang's eyes were red. She suddenly bent down, took off her slippers and socks.
There were clear marks of frostbite on the fair white ankles.
Ye Linlang's eyes were deep, and she ignored the surprised looks of Ye Haifeng and others.
"After that, I had frostbite for many years. It was not serious on my hands and it did not recur this year. However, it was not so easy to heal on my feet."
Mrs. Ye did not comment and looked extremely indifferent.
Humph, in her opinion, this was all Ye Linlang’s retribution!
Who told her to kill her own little son!
When Ye Haifeng saw Ye Linlang's stubborn and forbearing face and the miserable appearance of her feet, he suddenly felt a rare pity for his eldest daughter.
Compared with Ye Linlang, Ye Siyao, who grew up in the Ye family like a greenhouse flower, has never experienced such pain? !
"Linlang, put on your socks. It's so cold to be barefoot. Let's not talk about the past anymore. In the future, Dad will..."
However, Ye Linlang ignored Ye Haifeng. Her clear eyes were fixed on Ye Siyao as she continued to explain word by word.
"When I was eight years old, my grandmother's son and daughter-in-law who were working away from home unfortunately passed away. My grandmother spent most of her life savings to bury them, and she was depressed and her health was getting worse..."
Ye Siyao snorted coldly when she heard that, without any sympathy or sympathy at all.
"That's her son and daughter-in-law, of course she has to bury them! And she's in poor health, don't you know how to use the money to treat her illness!"
When Ye Linlang heard Ye Siyao's words, she almost had the urge to sneer.
But she still held back!
"You're right! If you're sick, you need to get treatment! Then do you know what we ate and wore every day when my grandmother and I were dependent on each other? And how did we get the money to treat our illnesses?"
"When you were living a life of luxury in the Ye family, have you ever thought that there are people in this world who can't even wear a down jacket and can't even eat meat once every half a month?!"
They can hardly meet the basic requirements of having enough food and clothing, so where would they get so much extra money to treat Grandma Song’s illness
Moreover, the village doctor said that the old lady’s illness had been going on for too long and that she might be saved if she went to the best hospital in the provincial capital for surgery.
However, going to the hospital in the provincial capital for treatment was harder than climbing to the sky for Ye Linlang and Grandma Song at that time!
…
Ye Siyao felt a little uneasy when she saw Ye Linlang's eyes. At this moment, Ye Linlang's eyes were like swords, as if they wanted to split her in half!
Humph, this little disaster star only knows how to intimidate people with his eyes!
Who owes her anything
Ye Siyao curled her lips, looking unhappy.
"It's not me who made your life so miserable! Can you blame me for not having money to see a doctor?!"
Ye Linlang didn't get angry but laughed instead. She never talked about the past with others. There was no point in talking more. How could people who didn't have that kind of experience understand you
Instead, it will only cause yourself more trouble.
It's just that I was feeling very upset today and spoke too quickly.
Ye Linlang felt a dull pain in her chest and her eyes were sore and swollen. Unexpectedly, she did not feel emotionally agitated at all, but became calmer and calmer.
A gray sadness spread across Ye Linlang's face.
"Ye Siyao, you said that the Ye family has been supporting me for the past fifteen years. Then I want to ask, why didn't my grandma and I even have the money to see a doctor when we were sick?"
Thinking back on those difficult years, Ye Linlang feels almost like a dream.
People are different from each other. Even if they understand me, it is useless. Grandma is gone after all...
