She was scared.
She was afraid of waking up from this beautiful dream. She was afraid to find that she had nothing.
“I am a man and over 40 years old, yet you say I am cute. It’s a strange description, don’t you think?”
After the car drove through the expressway, it arrived at Jiameng Town via the national highway. This season, Jiameng Town was full of green mountains and blue waters. The streets of the old city were very narrow, and it was impossible for cars to drive into the Old City.
Ye Tianxin, along with Grandmother and Xie Xuning, walked into the Old City.
“I remember that there used to be households selling wine here.”
Grandmother nodded and said, “Yes, the family built a new house and sold the old one.”
“No wonder.”
The original pub had become a store selling small ethnic cloth bags and jewelry, while the speakers at the door were playing the latest pop music.
When someone saw Ye Tianxin and her grandmother, they greeted them.
Grandmother greeted them back.
Xie Xuning had only visited this small town once, but everything in it was deeply engraved in his heart.
The ancient town of Jiameng hadn’t changed much, and most of its old residents were still there.
The wooden buildings in the ancient town of Jiameng weren’t very chic and weren’t to the liking of the young people, so they had a new town built next to it.
“Mom, Tianxin, let’s go find Ye Guoliang and his wife first.”
Upon arriving at Jiameng Town, the first people Xie Xuning wanted to see was naturally Ye Guoliang and his wife. He thought that Ye Linlang and her mother were dead because they told him so.
“Alright.”
Ye Guoliang was also Ye Youran’s father. Their home was in Xin City.
Ye Guoliang had been working out of town. They heard that he was a chauffeur, and he rarely returned to Jiameng Town.
Zhu Dongmei was the only one who was busy at home. After Ye Youran’s accident, although Zhu Dongmei was depressed for a while, she managed to bounce back and operated this small shop.
When Ye Tianxin’s family arrived, Zhu Dongmei was sitting with a few women, playing mahjong.
“Zhu Dongmei.”
Grandmother was very angry. Obviously, she was alive, so why did Zhu Dongmei tell Xie Xuning that she was dead?
Zhu Dongmei turned her head, looked at Grandmother, and said, “Auntie, you and Tianxin are back. Tianxin was admitted to college. Didn’t you two move out?”
“In 1988, why did you tell Xie Xuning that Linlang and I were dead?”
Grandmother couldn’t help it, because Ye Guoliang and Zhu Dongmei’s lies had caused Ye Tianxin to be fatherless for more than 10 years.
Zhu Dongmei looked at Xie Xuning. Her chubby face immediately turned pale.
She bit the bullet and stammered, “Who…who is he? I don’t know him.”
No, she knew him.
She not only knew him.
Xie Xuning’s face was her nightmare.
“You don’t know me, but I recognize you. Back then, you and your husband said that Linlang was dead!”
The other players all looked at Zhu Dongmei in unison. Zhu Dongmei blushed and said, “Linlang was already dead.”
“What about me? When did I die? Why am I not informed?”
When Zhu Dongmei heard Grandmother say this, she said, “Mother, did I ever say that you were dead? Why do you believe this stranger and not me?”
“In 1988, I came to Jiameng Town and stayed in the small courtyard for three days. In addition to the three days’ food expenses, I also gave you 30,000 yuan.”
At that time, having 10,000 yuan was quite remarkable.
Of course, Zhu Dongmei wouldn’t refuse 30,000 yuan.
