Chapter 228 - 223: The Two Daughters Born Wrong
Aunt Zhao Mei wasn’t surprised when she found out that Ye Qiu was driven out of the house by Ye Fu. As far back as fifteen years ago, she knew how cruel her little sister and her husband were, but as she looked at her two daughters-in-law and two grandchildren who had just started to walk, Zhao Mei couldn’t bring herself to tell Ye Qiu to come back.
They were all rural folk and didn’t have the business acumen like her sister and brother-in-law. Not only had her two sons’ marriages wiped out their life savings, but they had also plunged them into debt. Even more infuriating was that her sister-in-law, Ye Qiu’s biological mother Zhong Meifen, wouldn’t even lend them any money. It was impossible for Zhao Mei to harbor no grudge in her heart.
"Auntie, I won’t return to Zhongjia Village. The teaching conditions here are a bit better, and I will earn the tuition myself."
"But where will you stay these days?" Zhao Mei, still feeling pity for the niece she watched grow up, couldn’t help but ask.
"Grandpa Liu and Granny Liu in the neighborhood have been very kind to me, I can stay with them for a few days."
"Then you must be careful on your own. Do you have money? Let your auntie transfer two hundred yuan to you?"
Listening to her aunt’s caring words, Ye Qiuxin’s heart swelled with emotions. To be honest, she hadn’t had a good impression of her auntie. As a child, her aunt was always gruff to her and her grandmother, and even the snacks in her grandmother’s house would be taken to her two male cousins.
But what could her auntie do? Her husband’s sister and brother-in-law had money but refused to raise their daughter, leaving her for the mother-in-law to care for. Naturally, there were incomprehensible moments for her, and the fact that she did not intervene with Grandma Zhong paying Ye Qiu’s tuition was already quite commendable.
