Chapter 13 Caught in the Act of Adultery by Bai Ge
Ye Nuan pursed her lips. The "big flower" that her grandmother mentioned was actually Ye Hehua, Ye Nuan's only aunt. In 1958, because her family couldn't afford to eat, her grandmother arranged for her to marry into the countryside.
As far as she knew, it seemed that they asked for 100 jin of refined grains and 200 jin of coarse grains as betrothal gifts.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was sold off cheaply by her grandmother!
Because of this, my uncle and father argued with my grandparents several times, but to no avail. In the end, they could only watch helplessly as my aunt married into a family in the countryside.
Da Niu is the daughter of Ye Fugui's younger brother's family, who is Ye Fugui's older sister.
Grandma mentioned the two girls, but she didn't seem to feel sorry for them. She just mentioned them briefly, wanting to use their suffering as a reminder to others that Ye Fugui shouldn't have to go to the countryside and suffer as well.
What kind of magical logic is this?
Ye Anjia looked somewhat helpless, while Li Xiu, standing to the side, found his words strange.
You don't feel sorry for other grandchildren when they go to the countryside, but you can't stand it when it comes to Ye Fugui. Isn't that too biased?
Ye Anjia didn't want to get involved, but since Grandma Ye had come to his door in person to talk to him, he couldn't just say no.
"Mom, don't worry. There's no point in forcing me on this. I can only ask around to see if there are any job openings. If there are, I'll let Fugui give it a try."
Ye Fugui felt that his second uncle's words were not very clear. If he really wanted to help him, why didn't he just give him Ye Hai's job?
He can't do Ye Feng's job, but he'll definitely be fine with Ye Hai's!
Ye Fugui only graduated from junior high school, so he was quite self-aware. After all, one of the basic requirements for Ye Feng's job was a high school diploma, which he didn't have, so he didn't dare to try to get the job from his cousin.
But Ye Hai is different!
Although Ye Hai also graduated from high school, the job he did did not require a high school diploma.
After arguing for a long time, Grandma Ye realized that the second son would not give in and knew that she could not push him too hard. But looking around, she wondered why dinner had not been served yet.
Grandma Ye thought this way, so she just asked directly.
Just then, Ye Nuan came in with a bowl of corn porridge and said, "Grandma, we all came back late and didn't have time to make anything. This is all I made. Would you like me to serve you a bowl first?"
Grandma Ye glanced at it and thought it looked like plain water; how could it possibly fill her stomach?
Never mind, I'll just eat at home.
Moreover, Fugui's job depends on the second son, so she can't let the second son have any complaints about her.
"No, let's go back too. Don't worry, Fugui, your second uncle will definitely have a solution."
And so, Grandma Ye left with the other three people.
Ye Nuan breathed a sigh of relief and gestured to her second brother to lock the courtyard gate. Then she let her eldest brother take the pot while she carried a basket of buns inside.
Although Ye Anjia was unhappy about forcing him to find a job, she was still somewhat dissatisfied to see so many meat buns, yet her daughter had refused to take them out earlier.
Why didn't you say there were steamed buns earlier?
Ye Nuan was very shrewd. She whispered, "These buns were bought with the food coupons my uncle gave me. He only bought a few in total, not even enough for our own family. How could I dare to take them out!"
Ye Feng and Ye Hai had each eaten two, and now they kept their heads down and remained silent. At this crucial moment, they couldn't hold anyone back.
Ye Feng cleared his throat, suppressing his guilt: "Dad, eat it while it's hot. It's been so long since I've had meat buns like this. These are much better than the ones made at the factory."
Ye Anjia rolled her eyes at him, "Isn't that obvious?"
Can it be the same?
One is a factory canteen, and the other is a state-run restaurant; there has to be a difference!

After dinner, Gu Hanchuan came to talk to Ye Nuan: "I'll be returning to my unit soon. Remember to write to me. Also, I'll give you my phone number. If there's anything urgent, you can call me directly."
"Gu Hanchuan, what I really want to ask you is, do you really think we're a good match?"
Gu Hanchuan frowned: "What does this mean? You don't want to be my girlfriend anymore?"
Ye Nuan shook her head: "That's not what I meant. I just feel that we've only met a few times and don't know each other very well. Besides, I always feel that there's a big difference in our family backgrounds."
“There’s no difference. I’ve never mentioned my grandfather to you. He came from a poor background. Strictly speaking, he was an orphan who grew up eating food from many families. He joined the army at the age of fourteen. Back then, my grandfather didn’t have any awareness. He just simply thought that joining the army would ensure he had enough to eat!”
Ye Nuan smiled; this person really spoke honestly.
"Nuan Nuan, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"
Ye Nuan lowered her eyes, thinking about the ancient medicine she had been researching in her space recently. She really felt that she might want to study medicine or make medicine.
But she can't say that now. After all, in other people's eyes, she's just an ordinary high school student who has never been in contact with doctors or medicines. It would be inappropriate to say such things rashly.
Seeing her sudden silence, Gu Hanchuan recalled his question and realized that it seemed to have caused a misunderstanding.
"Nuan Nuan, I might have said something wrong. What I meant was that you can work if you want to, and you don't have to work if you don't want to. I'm not forcing you to work and earn money!"
Ye Nuan looked up and could tell that Gu Hanchuan was anxious!
Ye Nuan wasn't really in the mood for romance right now; she hadn't avenged herself yet.
Ye Nuan felt a little annoyed as she thought about the money and tickets she had spent during this period.
She needs more money and more supplies. She wants to learn medicine and medicine making, which requires medicinal herbs, but the herbs are not cheap.
Unable to find the medicinal herbs she wanted, Ye Nuan decided to go into the mountains to collect them herself.
This isn't the right time right now, and gathering herbs herself would be even more difficult. It's better to wait and see if she can buy them. If not, she'll think of another way.
The two went to the department store together and bought some things that Gu Hanchuan planned to take back to the army.
"Wait a moment!"
Ye Nuan grabbed Gu Hanchuan and then dodged to the side.
"what happened?"
Ye Nuan pointed to the woman in front of her and said, "That woman is called Bai Ge. She's the one I told you about who was pulling and tugging at Wu Xingbang earlier."
Gu Hanchuan frowned. He noticed the woman's appearance and realized she was about two years younger than Wu Xingbang.
“Let’s follow her and see if she’s having another secret rendezvous with Wu Xingbang. This Bai Ge is married.”
Gu Hanchuan's eyes held a hint of inquiry: "You know quite a lot of details?"
Ye Nuan said somewhat awkwardly, "Wu Xingbang was on a blind date with me, and I accidentally stumbled upon that scene. Of course, I had to find out what happened. These days, there are countless girls who get scammed because of marriage."
Gu Hanchuan raised an eyebrow; there was no way to refute that statement.
The two of them and the white dove had probably fallen more than ten meters away, and Ye Nuan finally realized that the white dove had never met her in her life, so she probably didn't recognize her.
If that's the case, then why bother hiding anymore?
The white dove was quite cautious. After turning into a small alley, it made sure no one was around before entering a dilapidated courtyard.
Ye Nuan recognized this small courtyard. It used to be where a wealthy landlord kept his mistress. He was kicked out more than ten years ago, and Ye Nuan didn't know what happened to him after that. However, because two prostitutes had lived there before, the courtyard had always been disliked.
Over time, the place became increasingly dilapidated.
The gate was a bit crooked.
The two cautiously followed inside. It was a two-courtyard house. They carefully hid in a dilapidated side room, unsure if the white dove had gone into the main house.
But soon, they realized something was wrong.
Because some unpleasant sounds seemed to be coming from the main house, like moaning and groaning. Although the sounds were very low, the two of them could still hear them in the quiet courtyard.
