Chapter 167 Ye Mama's Education
It was fortunate that Han Yuyan had been finding his old teammates to help in Qishi recently, otherwise, this batch of grain would have been difficult to transport.
Their hands were numb from writing before they finalized their plan. Zi Yisheng wasn't able to play the teacher today, as tonight was the last time for the mother and daughter to spend time together.
The unconscionable Ye Shenge directly shut Zi Yisheng out, completely oblivious to his wronged expression outside the door.
Ye Mama found Zi Yisheng's expression amusing. It seemed love could indeed change people. At least Zi boy wasn't wearing that fake smile anymore. His willingness to change for her daughter proved that at this point in time, he cared about her. No one could guarantee the future, so let things take their course, as long as their daughter wouldn't be hurt.
Ye Shenge didn't want to hide anything from her family, especially from the family who loved her wholeheartedly.
"Mom, I agreed to Brother Zi's pursuit today. I want to give it a try with him."
Ye Mama sighed inwardly as she looked at her daughter, who showed no sign of shyness. Was she finally opening up, or still not? It was as if she was talking about someone else's affair.
"Trying is good. You can have the experiences you missed out on in your previous life. But I have conditions, dear. Don't let yourself be at a disadvantage, either physically or mentally."
Ye Shenge understood. She wouldn't taste forbidden fruit. It was precisely because she had never been in a relationship before that she was so conservative in this regard.
As for mental well-being, that was something she couldn't control. Although Zi Yisheng liked her more now, she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't fall for him more deeply later.
Seeing her daughter's confusion, Ye Mama sighed again. This was the trouble of raising a daughter; there were too many things to worry about. If it were a son, who would bother about him?
"Xiao Ge'er, let's take things as they come. You just need to live a happy and joyful life. If you're unhappy, let go. Sometimes, letting go is a better form of fulfillment. Remember, you have Dad, Mom, and your elder brother supporting you. Even if you get hurt, there will be people to lick your wounds with you."
Ye Shenge was deeply touched. This was her beloved family, always worrying about her. She hoped to have the opportunity to give back to her family in this life, to let them also feel warmth.
"Mom, I'll protect myself. People need to be selfish sometimes. I've always remembered what you taught me."
Ye Mama happily hugged her precious daughter. Her darling was indeed so sensible and considerate.
"Well said. Those women who are living happily, unless they meet someone like your father, are all selfish women. Selfish women know how to plan for themselves and don't pour all their emotions into love."
"Then, by that logic, you are the happiest, having met someone like Dad who loves you at first sight."
Mentioning Ye Dad, Ye Mama was proud. This man's heart and eyes were full of her and their daughter. She was content in both her lives.
"That's why I hope Zi Yisheng is also that kind of person. You can compare him to your father. Although everyone expresses their love differently, the sincerity of loving someone from the heart is the same."
Ye Shenge wished she could take out her little notebook again to jot down her mother's words. There was so much she needed to learn.
"You'll understand all these things gradually. You're still young and have plenty of time to learn. This time, Mom will be traveling with your Dad and might not be back for a while. Don't run around; wait for Mom to bring back lots and lots of money for you."
"Mom still has money hidden away?"
"Of course. The Bai family gave quite a substantial dowry, including many houses and shops. Your mother is still a landlord, you know. And I still have shares abroad. When we can go abroad, I'll give them all to you, so you can buy whatever you want."
Ye Mama felt she had wronged her daughter. In her previous life, she had two listed companies to earn money for her daughter. Her daughter was so well-raised that even her hair was exquisite, but now, even with money, she couldn't find good things to nurture her daughter.
"Okay, I find I really like money since coming here. I always feel a sense of security when I have a lot of money."
"Hahahaha, money is indeed a good thing. In the future, we mother and daughter will earn money together. Later, if you have a daughter, we two will dote on her together."
Ye Shenge had never thought about having children. She just wanted to live a healthy life. Children were a matter of destiny; she wouldn't force it.
Speaking of children, Ye Shenge thought of Xiao Tiantian. Since her parents came to Qishi, she hadn't visited Mo Lin and Xiao Tiantian much. She had decided to raise them then, but now she was being so irresponsible.
Ye Shenge told her mother about Mo Lin and Xiao Tiantian's situation. She was currently helpless regarding Xiao Tiantian's illness and could only hope her mother might have a solution.
Ye Mama quickly searched her memory, but to no avail. She didn't recognize such a doctor.
"It would have been great if this was the previous life. Don't think about it now. When we leave Qishi, we'll take those two poor children with us and let them live in our family atmosphere for a while to see if there's any change."
Ye Mama knew more about this aspect than Ye Shenge. In the past, she was afraid her daughter's continuous illness would affect her psychological health, so she had consulted many psychologists and read many books on the subject. Since her daughter liked that child, she would have a good talk with Xiao Tiantian once life stabilized.
The mother and daughter lay in the same bed and talked for a long time. Ye Shenge didn't know when she fell asleep.
The next day, Ye Shenge skipped classes again. Old Fan seized the opportunity to force his little apprentice to study medicine, and Old Dang also joined in. Only Old Wei and Wei Ting left the villa, as they still had family to take care of.
However, Wei Ting promised to come every day to give Ye Shenge massages. Ye Shenge also learned that Wei Ting had a daughter of similar age, named Wei Songyan, who was in the second year of junior high and would only take the high school entrance exam next year.
But Ye Shenge had no desire to get acquainted. She had just made a friend like Chen Tangtang, which was enough for her to digest. She really didn't have the capacity to make a new friend. In her opinion, friends weren't about quantity, but about having one or two truly close confidantes.
Ye Dad and Ye Mama left. Ye Shenge didn't have time to feel lost or sad. Zi Yisheng immediately snatched her up before her future brother-in-law could. Enraged, Ye Mu En went to find Zi Yisheng's subordinates for sparring, claiming that the master's debt should be repaid by the servants.
Ye Shenge was astonished by Zi Yisheng's fluent Russian. It was so smooth it felt like his tongue had a motor. Ye Shenge, on the other hand, was so flustered that she was sputtering, completely losing her composure in front of her newly appointed boyfriend.
Zi Yisheng, however, noticed that the little girl was very knowledgeable and knew several foreign languages. He couldn't understand why she just couldn't master Russian. Perhaps Russian was particularly challenging for her.
Ye Shenge had never been so impatient. If her Russian didn't improve within a month, she would decisively give up on it and never touch it again in this lifetime.
