Chapter 892 Feasting at the Funeral

There's no future in being a security guard or a cleaner; I might as well follow Lin Gang and drive a car.

These days, sports cars can make a lot of money.

Who wouldn't be envious? Extremely envious.

Especially Ye Min.

He felt that his daughter was also successful and should be like Lin Yuyao, getting her brothers out to make money as well.

Xu Mei sneered, "Does he even realize that his Xiaotong can't compare to our Yuyao? If Xiaotong hadn't been on good terms with Yuyao, who knows which restaurant she'd be working as a waitress in.

Xu Mei knew about those things. Lin Yuyao was the boss, and Ye Xiaotong was just someone who worked for her. How could they be the same?

I'm just an employee myself, how can I help my brother out?

"Even if we take a step back and consider their attitude towards their daughter, why should anyone help them? They're not that spineless."

After complaining, Xu Mei whispered, "That place doesn't seem like a normal person's place. She said she was picking up something, but she couldn't say what it was. Don't you think that's strange?"

Ye Lian: "Then what do you mean? You don't mean you suspect Xiaotong's mother..."

"Ahhh, I didn't say that! I didn't say anything!" Xu Mei exclaimed on the other end of the phone.

Ye Lian understood and immediately shut her mouth.

"What will their family say? Will this attract the police?"

“Where did the police come from? He threw himself down, and that’s the end of it.” She paused for a moment, then added, “Their eldest grandson is going to join the army.”

Hearing her say that, Ye Lian understood.

Ye Lian sighed deeply; she never expected this ending.

"I thought his son couldn't just let it go like that."

"Tsk, you don't understand, do you? If he falls to his death, it's a good thing for his two sons and daughters-in-law."

"Huh? Good news?"

"What else? What use is the old man? He's lazy and good-for-nothing, and he bosses everyone around at home all day. Is he as useful as the old woman? She can help with cooking, feeding the pigs, and raising the children."

This is a very real problem. Nobody likes lazy, do-gooder old men who boss people around. Some more pragmatic descendants would really like them to die sooner.

"By the way, you should tell Xiaotong about this. They asked me to inform Xiaotong."

Ye Lian frowned and said, "Logically speaking, Xiaotong should go back to see her father since he died. But her two brothers aren't good people. Do you think Xiaotong can go back?"

"Yes, things are different now. Asphalt roads have been built all the way to our village entrance, so the kind of thing that happened before won't happen again. Xiaotong's two brothers aren't as ignorant as their father, who doesn't think about himself but also about his descendants. Her eldest brother's son is a good person, studies well, and will join the army in the future. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

“Then I’ll tell Xiaotong, but I can’t decide whether she goes back or not.”

"Okay, just say so. I'm just passing on a message."

After all, her own father had died, and Ye Lian relayed this to Ye Xiaotong.

"I can't keep such a big thing from you. Whether you want to go back or not is up to you."

Ye Xiaotong twisted the hem of her dress tightly; she hadn't done this in a long time.

He died? How could he have died so suddenly?

Just a few months ago, he arrogantly said that he would take over her house and protect her from being bullied by her brothers.

Although she knew it was a lie, perhaps because she had never heard it before, the words still touched her heartstrings.

We only yearn for what we can't have; even knowing it's fake, we secretly treat it as real.

Of course, she remained clear-headed, fully aware that those thoughts were false. She secretly kept them hidden deep within her heart, using them to cover up the trauma of her childhood.

"Dead?" Ye Xiaotong murmured softly.

"Yes, I heard that he fell off a cliff on the back of the mountain and died while trying to retrieve something."

He fell to his death?

"That was quite unexpected," Ye Xiaotong said softly.

Ye Lian and Lin Dawei looked at each other in bewilderment.

“Your father is getting old; this day was bound to come sooner or later,” Ye Lian comforted him.

Ye Xiaotong nodded, "Yeah, that's... good too. Now that he's dead, he won't have to bother me anymore."

This……

"So what are you planning to do now? The mourning hall has already been set up back home. The ceremony will last for three days. Today is the first day. The day after tomorrow, we have to go up the mountain before dawn."

"What should I do?"

"This... ask them?"

Ye Lian looked at Lin Dawei.

Lin Dawei, who was standing next to him, sighed and said, "There's an old saying that debts are settled with the death of a person. We should respect the dead. If possible, we should still go and see them off."

After they finished speaking, they both looked at Ye Xiaotong.

Ye Xiaotong took a deep breath and said, "Since it's the right thing to do... then let's go."

She has decided to ask Lin Yuyao for leave.

When Lin Yuyao heard that she was going back to attend her father's funeral, she agreed. The company already had bereavement leave, paid bereavement leave, which was seven days long.

Then she assigned two more security guards to accompany her on the business trip.

One was clever, the other was strong and powerful.

Ye Xiaotong looked at the two of them and said, "Yuyao, there's no need for that. Things are much better back home now than before. There won't be any safety issues."

Lin Yuyao said, "Your brother isn't a normal person. I don't feel bad having them with me."

She shoved all three plane tickets into her hand, saying, "Go ahead, it's just a little travel expense, not much money, we're not short of cash."

Seeing this, Ye Xiaotong nodded.

"Excuse me, both of you."

"Manager Ye, you're welcome. It's what we should do."

I flew back to my hometown, then transferred to another bus, and arrived around evening.

This is the second day. There's one more day tomorrow, and we have to go up the mountain the morning after tomorrow.

At the funeral, all the relatives and neighbors were present.

When Ye Xiaotong returned to the village, everyone looked at her.

A few years ago, Ye Xiaotong's disappearance caused quite a stir. Everyone speculated that she was killed by the Yang family and dumped in some remote mountain valley where she was eaten by wild animals and could not be found.

Unexpectedly, a young girl ran away on her own and made a fortune.

Look at his demeanor now, where is the little bitter gourd of the past?

The crowd murmured among themselves, "Ye Xiaotong is back, and it looks like she really made a fortune."

"Of course! When Ye Min and his wife came back before, didn't you see how Ye Min held his chin up to the sky?"

"They said Ye Xiaotong bought them a house in the city worth over 100,000 yuan and wanted to take them there to enjoy a better life."

"Pah! Enjoying life? Well, now he's going to enjoy life in his coffin."

"Shh, don't talk nonsense, Ye Min is still lying on the board."

The man quickly shut his mouth.

"Xiaotong, you're back."

Ye's mother hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to pull her, but dared not, only looking at her expectantly with her eyes.

Ye Xiaotong didn't have any feelings for her, so she nodded lightly and then lit an incense stick for Ye Min.
