Chapter 51 - 050: Inform
Ye Ling had been reborn for several months now, and during these months, she hadn’t encountered Si Daochen while fetching water. This didn’t surprise her much because she knew the Si Family had only one son, who was never made to do chores, just like how she was pampered by her grandmother in her previous life.
Therefore, seeing Si Daochen here truly surprised her.
Si Daochen was very calm. He often went to the Ye Family to deliver study materials in town, so when interacting with Ye Ling, he wasn’t as reserved as before. After setting his own bucket aside, he directly took Ye Ling’s bucket from her hand, placed it by the well, and started drawing water.
Ye Ling didn’t stand on ceremony with him. She waited until he finished drawing water before expressing her gratitude. Unexpectedly, after Si Daochen hung the bucket back onto the well, he spoke, "Ye Ling, regarding the business you and your grandmother are doing, the team sent a telegram to your parents."
Si Daochen expressionlessly stared straight at Ye Ling. He didn’t know if what he did was right. After hearing about it from his parents at home, he couldn’t resist the urge to tell Ye Ling. Afraid his family would find out, he decided to wait by the courtyard, knowing he would always see Ye Ling fetching water around dusk. However, after waiting for so long without seeing her, Si Daochen began to regret his decision. Just as he was about to go home, he finally saw her arrive and felt relieved after telling her. He left hurriedly with his water bucket, without saying another word.
Ye Ling snapped back to reality and realized what Si Daochen meant. She figured Si Daochen must have heard it from his father. Did he intentionally wait to tell her today while drawing water?
No matter what, Si Daochen’s action touched Ye Ling’s heart.
She knew Wang Changjiang would not let it go easily. Did he really think sending a message to his father in the city would sway things his way? Ye Ling smirked coldly as she picked up the bucket. Wang Changjiang would be disappointed.
After Ye Ling carried the bucket home and emptied it into the vat, she shared the news with her grandmother inside. "...He still thought mentioned this matter would make Dad come over to control me."
"Don’t bother with them. What’s the point of telling your dad? Can your dad come back to stop us from making money? I’d like to see where he finds the time and face to intervene."
