Chapter 11
"Your son has a foul mouth!" Zhou Yan's mother angrily walked forward.
Yu Shu's eyelid twitched and she took a step back, holding onto her dad.
The next second, unsurprisingly, she saw her mother's big ear flap slap that long-tongued woman's face.
That clear, loud slap attracted the attention of passersby.
Ah! Refreshing!
Listening to the sound of the slap, Yu Shu's admiration for the bold Ye Lady rose to new heights.
"Got a toilet in your mouth? If you can't talk properly, keep the toilet lid closed!" Ye Lady rolled her eyes to the highest level, "Still got mud spots on your legs that haven't been washed off, yet you're acting high and mighty, unwilling to look at people directly?"
The bold Ye Lady grabbed that shrew's hair and slapped her cheeks with a few smacks, hitting them until they swelled high.
Without warning, Ye Lady let go of her hand. Zhou Yan's mother was still cursing and struggling fiercely a second ago. The next second, she fell in a sprawl.
Ye Lady took a step back, protecting Yu Shu father and daughter behind her like a mother hen guarding chicks.
Yu Shu couldn't help swallowing, feeling that Ye Lady's boldness was undiminished from the past.
Sitting on the ground throwing a tantrum, Zhou Yan's mother's hair was messy, mixed with tears and snot stuck on her face. She grabbed Zhou Yan's pants and pointed at them, "Son, help me hit them!"
"Get up first."
The veins in Zhou Yan's temples throbbed. He felt like sitting on pins and needles from the onlookers' stares. There were even several gossipy old ladies nearby who had gathered to watch the show. He felt that he had completely lost face.
Zhou Yan cared about face and had concerns, but his father didn't. He rushed forward to push Ye Ping. Yu Shu quickly came forward to protect her mother. In the scuffle, her handbag fell to the ground, and the housing contract and mobile phone inside fell out.
A text message notification tone rang out abruptly, and a line of text appeared on the phone screen: [Wealth Bank] 833,333.33 Yuan was transferred to your savings account ending 4905 on December 15 at 13:31. The balance is now 3,696,688.13 Yuan.
Yu Shu thought to herself, what great timing. It didn't arrive early or late, but it happened to arrive at this moment. She had no choice but to show off.
Forced to show off.
Zhou Yan had a face full of confidence and an inevitable smile at the corners of his mouth.
His plain face revealed unmatched confidence.
Ye Ping couldn't wait to get home. She dragged Yu Shu into a teahouse and asked for a small private room. She took out the housing contract from her bag and slapped it on the table, "Are you trying to anger me to death? Buying a house without making a sound, not even discussing it with me? Do I still exist as your mother in your eyes? Where did you buy it? Does it hold value? How much is the monthly payment, can you afford it? New build or second hand? What if you encountered an unreliable developer who doesn't finish construction?"
Ye Ping's string of questions left Yu Shu confused. She stammeringly answered the last few questions, "It's...it's by the square, paid in full, second hand."
Ye Ping's anger abated slightly. That location was good. Buying in the county town meant that Yu Shu would stay in the county town and by her side in the future, which was best.
"I...I bought it for you and Dad..." Yu Shu carefully pushed the contract towards her with one finger.
"Bought it...for me...for us?" Yu Feng pointed at his own finger, which was slightly trembling.
Ye Ping rolled her eyes at both of them, "Is stuttering contagious? Neither father nor daughter can speak properly!"
However, the frequency at which her shaking hands clutched the contract gave her away.
Not until the pot of flower tea on the table didn't have a wisp of heat left did Ye Ping put down the contract and looked at her daughter, who she had thought was useless, with complex emotions.
When Yu Shu was born, Ye Ping felt her daughter was the cutest baby in the world. When Yu Shu was studying, she brought back full mark test papers and piles of certificates, and Ye Ping felt her daughter would definitely have a great future. When Yu Shu got into a top university, Ye Ping felt her daughter would definitely become an outstanding person. But after Yu Shu graduated, they didn't keep in close contact. Most of the little she heard was about how wonderful her life was, saying she just woke up when she called sounding weak...
A girl living alone outside, it was easy to imagine how difficult it must be.
Ye Ping's hopes for her changed to wishing she could live safe and sound, free of illness and disaster. It would be even better if she could marry early and have children.
Ye Ping had thousands of thoughts swirling through her mind and roiling emotions. She didn't know what to say.
"Mommy~" Yu Shu cautiously suggested, "Do you want to go see the house? You'll definitely like it."
Yu Feng also looked at her expectantly.
After a long pause, Ye Ping reluctantly murmured in agreement.
Father and daughter immediately joyfully helped her up and walked out.
