Chapter 355 Qi Xuan's Sincere Apology
Qi Xuan saw Ye's father and Ye's mother coming out of the room before she even left the courtyard, so she quickly turned and walked towards them. Without a word, she bent down, her tears falling heavily onto the ground.
"Dad Ye, Mom Ye, it was all my fault just now. I was willful, and I made things difficult for little aunt. Please give me a chance, a chance to change myself. I know I'm willful and have many shortcomings, but I'm willing to change. I'm willing to integrate into this family. Please give me another chance."
Ye's father rarely scolded his children, especially his daughters. Qi Xuan's actions at the moment did soften his heart. He could only look at his wife; he was not qualified to make the decision.
Ye's mother walked forward and helped Qi Xuan up, but her expression was very serious.
"Qi Xuan, since you've said it, I'll say a few words too."
Qi Xuan wiped away her tears and quickly nodded.
"Mom Ye, please speak."
"Actually, I've never minded having the two of you in the family, but the premise is that you get along with Shengge. You should have seen by now that Shengge is absolutely the treasure of the Ye family. Our pampered child cannot be wronged.
But you've also seen that although Shengge is doted on by many, she has no bad habits. She is kind and gentle and never initiates conflict with anyone. But today, you actually angered her to this extent. Do you want to think about what you truly did wrong?"
Qi Xuan felt ashamed. When she was agitated, she tended to act recklessly. She also liked Shengge very much, but she had ruined things herself.
"Mom Ye, I know where I went wrong. I'll go find little aunt later and hope she can forgive me. I'm also very grateful that you've taken me and grandpa in. I will be obedient and sensible from now on and will never do anything to hurt my family."
Ye's mother looked directly into Qi Xuan's eyes and saw determination there.
"Qi Xuan, I'm willing to believe you this time. In the Ye family, we must be united."
"I will be."
Qi Xuan went to the next door but couldn't find anyone. She then went to the village clinic, intending to apologize to everyone she had offended today. She wasn't doing this to curry favor after realizing her future predicament, but because she understood she had no right to let anyone make sacrifices for her in vain.
Ye Shengge's mood had calmed down a lot by the time she reached the mountain. After all, anger was temporary and would pass. It was just that this was the first time she had been angry, and she felt a bit unaccustomed to it. She would get used to it after experiencing it a few more times; she wasn't a child of just a few years old.
Zi Yisheng didn't mention Qi Xuan at all, only focusing on making the little girl happy. The two of them were actually roasting meat on the mountain because Zi Yisheng had caught two wild rabbits.
"Is West Mountain still not allowed to be mined?"
Zi Yisheng looked towards the west and shook his head.
"Last time, some information was leaked because of the Baili family, so it's not suitable to make a move yet."
"How large is this project, and how long will it take to mine it out?"
"At least three years. This mine isn't very large."
"That's good, otherwise the commotion would be too big."
Zi Yisheng nodded in agreement, continuously flipping the wild rabbits with his hands.
Ye Shengge looked into the depths of the mountain and sighed.
"I wonder how my elder brother is doing? What kind of place is Micheng?"
Zi Yisheng tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to Ye Shengge.
"Everything will go smoothly. Don't you understand your elder brother's capabilities?"
Meanwhile, Ye Mu'en, who was being thought of, and Monkey were having a great time in Micheng, completely carefree and unrestrained, with no sense of danger.
After disembarking, Ye Mu'en was arranged to stay in a hotel by the people Zi Yisheng had sent earlier, and they were even provided with fake identity documents. So, the next day, after waking up, the three of them went shopping with gold bars.
Walking on the streets of Micheng, Ye Mu'en felt that it was very similar to the province of Taiwan in his previous life. This place was much more prosperous than the mainland was now, and the cuisine was also much richer.
"Brother Mu, this place is great! Let's hurry and exchange our money. I'm starving."
Monkey pitifully rubbed his flat stomach, especially salivating at the aroma from the street food stalls.
"Look at your pathetic self. Zi Yisheng's people said it's most cost-effective to exchange gold at the bank, but the bank hasn't opened yet."
"Ah, so we still have to wait for another hour?"
Luo Hansheng was curious about everything. He also had a gold bar in his arms, which he had specifically exchanged with Shengge. He wanted to bring something back for his family.
Ye Mu'en strode towards a noodle shop, and Monkey quickly followed, looking puzzled.
"Brother Mu, we don't have money right now."
"Shut up. Do you want everyone to see that we're illegal immigrants?"
Ye Mu'en took out over a dozen bills from his pocket and distributed them to the two behind him.
"These were given to me by Zi Yisheng's people. We don't know the local prices, so take three hundred each and eat whatever you want. Also, help me inquire about this address."
Ye Mu'en showed the address written by Qi Lu to the two of them. Planning first was essential for action.
With that said, Ye Mu'en walked into the noodle shop, as he was also very hungry.
After finishing a bowl of intestine noodles, which wasn't a large portion, Ye Mu'en nodded with satisfaction.
"Brother Mu, I bought you a bun. It has sausage in it."
"Brother Mu, things here are really expensive. A bun with sausage costs one yuan. How much was the noodles you ate?"
Monkey complained softly. One yuan could buy a plate of braised pork at home.
"The intestine noodles were two yuan."
"Tsk, so expensive."
At this moment, Luo Hansheng also came in with his purchases, a look of disbelief and heartache on his face.
Ye Mu'en gestured for them to order their food. Judging by the prices here, he could tell that the economy was quite good.
"Don't be afraid to spend money. You can't shortchange yourselves on a trip like this. Besides, when have I ever lacked money for you?"
"I'm just worried that the goods we get here won't sell for a good price back home. If it's too expensive, no one will buy it, and they can't afford it."
Ye Mu'en nodded. This was indeed something that needed careful consideration.
"Let's go exchange money later and look around properly. Have you found out about the address?"
Monkey was still enjoying the smooth texture of the noodles, and it was Luo Hansheng who answered.
"That place isn't in this area at all. It's still about a hundred kilometers away."
"Damn, it's really far."
After eating their fill, the three of them slowly walked towards the bank. Monkey was still upset about the money he had spent.
Going to the bank was smooth. The price of gold in Micheng was nearly five yuan per gram, which was one-third more expensive than in the mainland. When converted, the prices of goods could be somewhat offset.
Ye Mu'en, carrying a bag of money, took the other two to a shopping mall to change their attire first. When Monkey put on clothes that cost over a hundred yuan, he truly cried, tears welling up in his eyes. It was too damn expensive.
For three consecutive days, the three of them wandered, ate, and drank in Micheng. However, they also figured out what supplies they could bring back. The food here was still relatively cheap. Loose rice was only fifty cents, and white flour was forty cents. Although it was slightly more expensive than in the mainland, it didn't require ration coupons, and if they took it to the black market, they could at least double or triple the price. Coupled with the price difference of gold, it was indeed not a wasted trip.
