No one thought that Ye Jian was wrong. Just like what Sun Dongqing said just now, if any households had children at home, they would have knocked on the door to look for a fight.
The sun was high in the afternoon. It was so hot that the cicadas on the trees were like dried leaves. They would chirp a few times occasionally before becoming silent. Sun Dongqing, who was leaning against the wall of her house, panted heavily. She didn’t even know when Ye Jian had left.
Sun Dongqing, whose face was still pale after being exposed to the sun for at least ten minutes, stood up with trembling legs. Before she could stand up, she fell again. She sat in the pool of liquid that she spilled. She didn’t care about shame anymore. She just wanted to go back to her house and lock the door.
She was afraid. She was really afraid!
Ye Jian really wanted to kill her just now!
If it wasn’t for Chen Dongfeng, she wouldn’t have been able to get up and would be lying on the ground now!
Sun Dongqing was so frightened that she started crying. In the end, she crawled back to her house. She didn’t have the energy to stand up. Even though she was only a few steps away, her knees were weak.
At this moment, Ye Jian was already sitting at the village leader’s house. She was having a sumptuous lunch and chatting at the same time. She didn’t mention Grandpa Gen and only said that she didn’t return to the village because the school arranged for her to undergo military training.
After dinner, she chatted with the two village elders and walked towards her house.
After going through the peach forest, they saw the villagers sitting outside their house. Uncle Chen was experienced. He came back hurriedly after lunch. If not, he would have locked the villagers, who came to visit, outside.
Although it was noon, Ye Jian’s house was indeed cool. The elders would sit in the sitting room, the younger ones would sit by the door or under the roof. They waved the fan in their hands as they chatted.
The villagers of Shuikou Village already knew about Uncle Gen’s passing. They also knew that Uncle Gen was buried in the Martyrs’ Memorial Park. The elderly couldn’t help but wipe their tears and sigh while talking. They didn’t forget to comfort Ye Jian.
The village leader, Zhang Defu, had the most say in the village. He looked at the only cadet of the town. As the village leader, he was worried that Uncle Gen’s departure would affect her studies. Also, Uncle Gen had mentioned that if he wasn’t around, he would need the villagers to take care of Ye Jian.
After the elders in the village finished speaking, he said to Ye Jian earnestly, “There is life and death. No one can control them. Uncle Gen died at a ripe old age. Good people will be rewarded. Ye Jian, don’t be too sad. Uncle Gen won’t want to see you crying all day.”
“The village leader is right. Ye Jian, you’re a military student. You will become a soldier. People on the television always say that you can bleed but not cry. You can’t cry so easily.”
Then, he mentioned that since Ye Jian got into military school, Uncle Gen felt at ease when he left. He reminded Ye Jian to take care of herself outside. If she needed anything, she could call the village.
Ye Jian answered them politely and respectfully. The villagers liked her even more.
Look, look at Ye Jian!
She was much better than Ye Ying. That girl was impatient even if they asked her a question. She always liked to talk about her father. She even liked to tell them ‘you don’t understand’. It was tiring to talk to her.
There was also Sun Dongqing, who looked down on the villagers and liked to show off in front of them. Now, the villagers of Shuikou Village had a very bad impression of Ye Ying.
She couldn’t be compared to Ye Jian!
