Chapter 189： pity

Ye Qingqing was taken aback. She didn't expect the rough-looking iron egg to be able to weave such a delicate grass cage. She also gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely, "You have really skillful hands!"

Tie Dan, who was praised, smiled foolishly, a suspicious red cloud appeared on his dark face.

"Everyone in my village knows how to weave, but I'm clumsy..." Tie Dan felt that he couldn't bear such a grand praise. It was just weaving baskets and cages. Everyone in the village was skillful, just like eating and dressing.

"Not stupid... Dandan is smart..." Ye Tong became anxious, grabbed Tie Dan's hand and said loudly.

Tie Dan grinned like a blooming black chrysanthemum, not to mention how happy he was, it was the first time someone praised him for being so smart!

The old lady heard the movement outside, and let Xiao Li push him out. Seeing the clean and beautiful Ye Tong and the dark, sturdy and honest Tie Dan, she couldn't help laughing and asked, "Are they your friends, girl?"

Ye Qingqing hurriedly introduced: "This is a comrade who takes care of Lu Mo, his name is Niu Tiedan, and this is my younger brother, Ye Tong."

She pushed Ye Tong, "Xiao Tong, my name is Grandma Sheng."

Ye Tong called out obediently, "Good morning, Grandma Sheng."

Tie Dan also called out, holding back his hands, not knowing where to put his hands, so he said to Ye Qingqing and went to accompany Lu Mo.

The old lady immediately saw that Ye Tong had a problem with her intelligence. She heard Master Chang talk about this child, but she did not expect Ye Tong to be so clean and beautiful, and also very sensible. Qingqing girl taught her younger brother very well.

"Go into the house and drink some mung bean soup, and see how hot the child is."

The old lady invited the siblings into the house, and asked Xiao Li to bring out the mung bean soup. Ye Tong took the soup obediently, "Thank you."

"That's good, has Xiaotong gone to school?" The old lady looked at Ye Tong who was drinking soup quietly, and was very happy. A beautiful child is something people like, let alone being so good!

"I haven't contacted the school yet." Ye Qingqing frowned.

Her tuition fees haven't been collected yet. I'll go to the mountains to collect herbs someday. Unfortunately, the herbs usually don't sell for much money.

The old lady glanced at Ye Tong and said, "You must be 11 or 12 years old, right? You can't delay any longer. Anyway, you still have to go to school. I will ask you to contact the special school for you and let Xiao Tong go to school. I can go to school in the second half of the year.”

Ye Qingqing was even more embarrassed. After humming for a long time, she explained the reason, "I found the school, but I haven't collected the tuition fees yet. When the tuition fees are collected, I will send Xiaotong to study."

"What's the difference? I'll make it up for you first." The old lady said happily.

Ye Qingqing hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No... I can make money myself, I don't even want Lu Mo's money, how can I ask for your money? It's not much, I'll be able to collect some medicines later. ."

She can't ask the old lady's money for anything she says. She is soft-hearted and short-handed. Ye Qingqing will never ask anyone to borrow a penny unless she has to!

Only then did the old lady understand why Ye Qingqing risked her life to climb down the cliff to collect Lingzhi?

"Do your parents have no money?"

"My mother died when she gave birth to Xiaotong, and my father married a stepmother again." Ye Qingqing didn't say anything, but the old lady understood as soon as she heard it.

With a stepmother, my father has also become a stepfather.

The old lady looked at Ye Qingqing with pity, Ye Tong was ignorant and didn't know anything, the burden was all on Ye Qingqing, it was really hard for this girl!
