Chapter 203 Ye Mu'en's Return
Old Mrs. Yang took a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to Ye Shengsong.
"This is where the deceased members of my Yang family are buried. Just bury me there after I die. I've also prepared my burial clothes. I'll change into them myself when I'm close to death."
Ye Shengsong felt a pang of sadness in her heart. The old lady had considered every detail.
"Don't worry, I'll do as I promised. Do you need me to prepare some supplies for you at the haunted house? Shouldn't you eat well before you leave?"
"Hahaha, yes, give me some more of the good things in that little girl's hands. I've loved eating my whole life."
Ye Shengsong also smiled. As long as it was food, she could satisfy any craving.
The two of them actually shifted the conversation to food, and Ye Shengsong even learned what the old lady liked to eat the most.
Zi Yisheng, standing outside the car, heard their conversation clearly. His heart remained unmoved. The fate of the Yang family was a common occurrence in reality. Even though he held a high position, he was powerless to change it, and could only watch, gradually becoming indifferent.
For two days after returning, Ye Shengsong was listless. It was the first time she had directly faced someone who welcomed death. She used to eagerly wish for more days to live, but she never expected that there were people who yearned for death. How disappointed must one be with life to feel that way?
A week later, Luo Hansheng brought news from the old lady. The old lady wanted Ye Shengsong to move some things.
This was also a source of helplessness for Ye Shengsong. She had no freedom at all right now. She had no opportunity to either take in or let go.
Just as Ye Shengsong was agonizing over this, her elder brother suddenly appeared in her room that night.
Ye Shengsong was gently awakened by a pat. When she saw her scruffy elder brother, she was so startled that she almost didn't recognize him and almost zapped him with her stun baton.
"Little Song'er, it's me, it's Big Brother."
Ye Shengsong's shock from her brother completely ruined the atmosphere for a hug and tears. She could only playfully slap her brother a few times to vent her frustration.
"Are you hurt?"
Ye Mu'en was covered in dirt and didn't dare to sit on his sister's bed, so he sat on the floor.
"No, everything went smoothly."
Ye Shengsong was truly relieved. She hadn't spoken about it, but she had worried about her elder brother every single day.
"That's good, that's good. Aren't you supposed to go directly to Bai Rongxiang?"
"I have good news for you, a chance to get rich."
Ye Mu'en's eyebrows shot up, his excitement clearly visible.
Ye Shengsong's interest was piqued. Now, she got excited whenever she heard the word "money."
"Come on, tell me quickly, what's going on?"
Ye Mu'en glanced at his filthy clothes, which were quite smelly, and his stomach rumbled with hunger.
"Hehe, little sister, I'll go wash up first, and you prepare some good food for me. Can we chat while we eat?"
Ye Shengsong glanced towards the door, wondering if her boyfriend would come over.
"Don't worry, Zi Yisheng knows I'm back. I even told him not to disturb our private chat."
Ye Mu'en said haughtily. When he had chased Zi Yisheng away earlier, the other man had looked very wronged, but he hadn't even had the courage to resist him. It seemed his sister was the truly formidable one, keeping him completely under control.
Ye Shengsong looked at her brother's increasingly childish demeanor with a hint of annoyance and waved her hand, urging him to leave.
"Go wash up first, you really stink."
Ye Mu'en quickly left. Not long after he was gone, Zi Yisheng walked in.
Ye Shengsong found it amusing that these two grown men were vying to be in her room late at night.
"You have something to talk to me about too?"
Zi Yisheng awkwardly touched his nose. Could he say he just wanted to join the fun? These siblings always excluded him. Although he knew they had secrets and he had promised not to pry, he felt jealous. He wanted to get closer to his little girl's heart.
"No, I just feel a little uncomfortable. When can you also have a late-night chat with me and share your inner thoughts? I'm a very good listener."
Ye Shengsong looked at the sulky man and felt a bit helpless. She really had nothing to confide except about her space and transmigration. Didn't he already know everything about her?
"It's my elder brother who wants to confide in me. How about you come over another night and tell me your heart's desires?"
Zi Yisheng's objective was achieved, and his face immediately lit up with joy. Soon, he would have an opportunity to stay overnight in his little girl's room.
"Okay, then I'll come over tomorrow night to chat with you."
"Chat about what? You scoundrel, why are you still in my sister's room at night? Don't you know about the boundaries between men and women?"
Ye Mu'en showered surprisingly fast. He had just caught the shameless Zi Yisheng coaxing his sister.
Zi Yisheng remained unruffled. He calmly stroked the little girl's long hair, stood up, smiled at his brother-in-law, and withdrew from the room.
"Hmph,shameless."
Ye Mu'en quickly locked the door and earnestly lectured his naive sister.
"Before you get married, don't let him into your room at night. Any man can lose his reason at some point, understand?"
Ye Shengsong felt a headache coming on. She looked at the time; it was already eleven o'clock at night. Had these two considered that she needed to sleep early?
"Okay, I understand."
As for whether Zi Yisheng would adhere to it, that was not within her consideration.
Ye Shengsong waved her hand and conjured a table laden with her elder brother's favorite foods.
Ye Mu'en quickly pulled up a chair and started eating.
Ye Shengsong sat on the bed, applied some peppermint oil to her temples to stay alert, in case she fell asleep before her brother finished talking.
Ye Mu'en talked about his experiences abroad while he ate, constantly lamenting how unpalatable the food was overseas.
"Is the treasure that Baili Ming mentioned real?"
"Yes, I've seen it. The quantity is quite substantial."
"How much are you planning to give to your brothers?"
The four men who had gone out with her brother were to receive a share, as they were the first to know about the treasure, and he hadn't hidden anything from them.
"Yes, I will give them some. The four of them said they only want one-tenth. They can't hold onto too much."
Ye Shengsong nodded. It was what they deserved.
"Then let them choose first. We'll find time to collect the rest."
Ye Shengsong's mood soured when she thought about her space.
"Big Brother, you have no idea how difficult things have been for me lately. Not only can I not bring items in, but I also haven't had a chance to bring out the grain the black market needs. If you don't come back soon, the black market will be completely out of stock. You and Dad must leave one person to cover for me in the future."
Ye Mu'en sighed. Such a treasure as the space was both fortunate and troublesome. Constantly thinking about how not to expose it was indeed a significant matter, and it had indeed made things difficult for his sister with them not around.
"I'll try to stay by your side as much as possible from now on. As for Zi Yisheng, if you really marry him, you might as well tell him. Otherwise, living together every day will inevitably lead to exposure."
Ye Shengsong had also considered this. Unless she remained unmarried her entire life, it would be impossible to avoid exposure for two people living together every day.
