Uncle Wang was nodding and greeting when all of a sudden, he noticed Ye He Ping’s pale face. Then, looking beyond that, he saw Old Mrs. Ye lying stiffly in the flatbed of the four-wheeler, with the Ye Family girl sitting indifferent beside her, he inwardly exclaimed that something wasn’t right. Could it be that Old Mrs. Ye had passed away?
Otherwise, why was a lively person lying there without moving at all?
The words that were about to come out of his mouth were left unsaid, and the smile he had put on his face stiffened halfway, making Uncle Wang’s expression look as if he was trying really hard to hold in a bowel movement.
Ye He Ping, however, didn’t have the heart to pay much attention to these things. "If Uncle Wang needs to take care of business in town, go ahead. Let’s talk about anything else when we get back to the village."
The people on both sides had encountered each other halfway down the road, which was why they stopped to greet each other.
Uncle Wang finally found his voice, "I heard your mother was sick last night, and was just thinking about going to town today to see her. What’s happened to your mom?"
Si Jun was more tactful than Uncle Wang. "He Ping, you should try to be strong."
That statement was profound enough; whether a person was sick or deceased, it was fitting without being abrupt.
Ye He Ping’s eyes were red, though there were no tears. Combined with the scraggly beard he was growing out, he seemed dispirited. "Uncle, my mom had a hard life."
With one sentence, there was no need for further explanation—it was clear the person was truly gone.
