Chapter 238
I could only nod stiffly.
Ye Xiaoxi's expression was calm, and before she could say anything, the people watching the show around her couldn't help but laugh.
Zhou Chunmei sneered, "How funny! I'm almost laughing my head off! This kid who was raised in our village is now trying to pick up something ready-made."
Zhou Chunmei's words weren't meant to be a way of gaining anything from Ye Xiaoxi. She was just trying to see the fun and expose this woman's hypocritical facade.
When Ye Xiaoxi and her grandson were in their most difficult times, everyone helped out, contributing whatever they could. It wasn't until Ye Xiaoxi went to school that Grandma Wang finally had time to buy and sell vegetables, pick apples for the Ye family, and occasionally do odd jobs to earn some money, which allowed them to get by.
Although it is a bit exaggerated to say that Ye Xiaoxi was raised in a village, it is not entirely nonsense.
Wang Meijuan, who had been looking gloomy just now, now cheered up and echoed Zhou Chunmei's words, "Isn't it? Our village is being demolished now. A kid like Xiaoxi has so much money on his hands. Won't these scumbags besiege us desperately?"
Ye Ke's mouth twitched, and he looked at her with a subtle expression. Wang Meijuan seemed to be quite sober at the moment, but she was fooled by her own son.
It's true that a bystander sees more clearly.
Zhao Ying was dazed by the crowd's criticism. How could she not have known that the people of Yejia Village were so united before? When she was still in Yejia Village, her mother-in-law quarreled with the neighbors every day?
"I know it sounds like I'm making excuses when I say this, but if I hadn't left, how difficult would life be for a woman with Xiaoxi?" Zhao Ying looked sad.
"Fortunately, life is better now, and I can afford to take over the stream."
She only mentioned her own difficulties in every word, completely ignoring the difficulties faced by others. With tears in her eyes, she tried to soften the attitude of the docile and gullible Ye Xiaoxi.
Ye Xiaoxi: "Mom, actually I don't even need to call you mom. Do you know why?"
Ye Xiaoxi did not look sad or angry, nor did she show any sign of weakness or struggle. Her face was cold as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
"In my entire life, you have never fulfilled your obligation to support me, not even once."
Ye Xiaoxi exposed Zhao Ying's flowery remarks and went straight to the core.
Where the money is, there is love.
She stole all the money from home and never gave her a penny. Even when she was young, Ye Xiaoxi knew that her mother never loved her, let alone cared about her life or death.
Not to mention Ye Xiaoxi, who has grown up and sees things more clearly.
She was not shaken at all. Even though the blood relationship could not be severed, her grandmother was the only relative she had.
Now, just think of it as someone coming to perform at home during the New Year. Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoxi, who was not sad at all, surprisingly curled up a smile at the corner of her mouth.
When Zhao Ying saw the smile on her face, she thought Ye Xiaoxi was moved by her, and even the seemingly threatening words just now were just to test her.
She felt relieved.
Zhao Ying took a step forward with a motherly smile on her face and tried to reach out to pull Ye Xiaoxi.
Grandma Wang stopped Ye Xiaoxi behind her in time.
Zhao Ying: "Xiaoxi, Mommy is sincere. Your Uncle Wang and your brother are also always thinking about you."
Zhao Ying is so confident and sure that Ye Xiaoxi, who grew up in poverty, will be attracted by the beautiful family she describes.
Grandma Wang really hated Zhao Ying at this moment, and she looked at her granddaughter with concern.
Isn't it heartbreaking to show off the warmth of her other family in front of her granddaughter who grew up without a father or a mother?!
Ye Xiaoxi patted her grandmother soothingly and stood at the front. Her petite figure could also serve as a support for her grandmother.
"I think you may have misunderstood." Ye Xiaoxi looked at Zhao Ying coldly, "I don't mean to complain to you. I just want to say that since you haven't fulfilled your obligation to support me, I have no obligation to support you either."
