Chapter 228: Throwing Cold Water on People
However, Aunt Qi became anxious when she saw Zheng Jiayi's obvious disbelief.
"Hey! This news of mine is true! Don't take it lightly!"
This was said directly by the father-in-law of her nephew's classmate's uncle's brother-in-law. How could it be false?
If Zheng Jiayi hadn't had a good relationship with her and they didn't always go shopping together, she wouldn't have said that.
Zheng Jiayi nodded as if she believed it, and then said to Aunt Qi: "Okay, then I'll be waiting for the good news!"
The tone was nonchalant, without any excitement. Aunt Qi couldn't tell whether she didn't believe it at all or had a good attitude. Even this couldn't be stabilized.
Zheng Jiayi put out the things they had just sold on the street and said to Aunt Qi, "Please try some of these. We just bought them."
Aunt Qi's eyes lit up when she took a glance. These were rare items. Not to mention how expensive they were, ordinary people rarely bought them on purpose.
I want to take it but feel embarrassed.
Seeing this, Zheng Jiayi picked up a few pieces and stuffed them into her hands. "Just take it. Why are you being so polite to me?"
When she first moved in, if it weren't for Aunt Qi's enthusiastic help, who took her to integrate into the local circle every day, she didn't know how difficult it would have been for her to live on her own.
When Aunt Qi heard this, she straightened her chest without any hesitation and said, "Okay, since you said so, I won't say any more nonsense. My family just bought some apples a few days ago, they are so sweet. I will bring some to you when the time comes."
After Aunt Qi left, Zheng Jiayi looked at Ye Ke's expectant eyes and chuckled, "This kind of gossip happens every day. If you take it seriously, it's too early to be happy."
It’s not that Zheng Jiayi likes to spoil people’s fun or pour cold water on them.
She was afraid that Ye Ke’s expectations were too high, so she gave him a heads-up in advance.
When these rumors first came out, every household was overjoyed, but what happened? It's been almost half a year now, and nothing has happened.
Is the news true? Everyone says they heard it from distant relatives. How can we tell?
I simply don't believe it. If it is really demolished, I will be surprised.
Ye Ke nodded dejectedly. She only had a slight understanding of the future, but as for the present, she was still blank.
Since Zheng Jiayi, who has lived in Hai City for so long, has denied the rumor, she might as well just listen to the news.
If you really take it to heart, you will worry about not having enough to eat or drink.
Sure enough, after Ye Ke and his companions had been touring Hai City for another three days, the demolition notice still had not been issued.
When I ran into Aunt Qi at night, she was also in a bad mood. She said to Zheng Jiayi, "Ah, I guess this is still a fake. You said that all the houses around us have been demolished, so why do we have to keep it here?"
Aunt Qi really wants to live in a new house. Her family is not well off and she can't afford to buy one on her own. Now that she finally has such an opportunity, isn't she looking forward to it with great anticipation?
Zheng Jiayi patted her hands and patiently consoled her in a gentle tone, "Why rush? We can wait. Otherwise, by the time we have tall buildings everywhere, and only this old, run-down area in the middle, we'll be the only one left. How can the government tolerate this?"
In the past, Zheng Jiayi had worried about what would happen if this place was not demolished, and Ye Canyang comforted her in this way. Of course, Ye Canyang said more than just this, he also talked about a lot of things like urban development and planned development. Zheng Jiayi didn't remember them all, but only remembered the first part that she understood.
Aunt Qi wasn't really angry, she just wanted to find someone to complain to. After being comforted by Zheng Jiayi, she started muttering about going home to cook.
It has been half a month since they were out. After discussing it, Ye Ke and the other two decided to go to the train station to buy tickets back to Ancheng tomorrow.
After Ye Wenhui announced this decision at the dinner table, Zheng Jiayi's mood became noticeably depressed, but she also knew that Ye Wenhui could not stay in Hai City forever.
When she went to bed at night, Zheng Jiayi opened her eyes, not wanting to sleep at all. She tentatively asked, "Sister Xiaohui, are you asleep?"
"No." Ye Wenhui sighed softly, "How can I sleep if you turn over so often?"
Zheng Jiayi said "Oh". Ye Wenhui's words sounded like a complaint, but Zheng Jiayi was not afraid of her anger at all. Instead, she moved closer to Ye Wenhui and whispered, "Sister Xiaohui, can't you play for a few more days?"
After such a long period of excitement, Zheng Jiayi felt extremely uncomfortable at the thought of returning to the old state.
In the past, Ye Ke had come to Hai City with the mother and son, and Zheng Jiayi didn’t think anything of it when they left. But this time when it came to Ye Wenhui, Zheng Jiayi felt a little depressed.
After all, Ye Ke was just a child. Although she often made her laugh, Zheng Jiayi would not rely on her without any hesitation, so she naturally did not feel any sense of loss when they parted.
Ye Wenhui said helplessly, "You're already a grown-up, why are you still so clingy?"
Fearing that her words might offend Zheng Jiayi, Ye Wenhui quickly added, "If you're still thinking about us, why don't you just come back to Ancheng for a few days when you have time? Xiaoyang is already grown up, and he can take care of himself even without you. Why does he need you to stay here every day?"
In the past, Zheng Jiayi didn’t dare to go back to Ancheng or run around because she was afraid of meeting Ye Wenlin. But now Ye Wenlin seems to be getting better. Although it remains to be seen, at least he is not as crazy as before, right?
Zheng Jiayi slapped her forehead and said, "Oh, right, I almost forgot."
Thinking that I can go back at any time, the feeling of reluctance is suddenly diluted a lot.
After Zheng Jiayi figured it out, she felt relieved and fell asleep with her head tilted.
After being woken up by her, Ye Wenhui opened her eyes wide and curled her lips speechlessly. What a unlucky thing! Why are all the people around her, big and small, like this?
When Ye Wenhui woke up in the morning, she thought that she had been out for several days in a row and had to take a long-distance train tomorrow, so she decided to take advantage of today to have a good rest, otherwise her old arms and legs would be broken.
The matter of buying tickets was handed over to Ye Ke and his three juniors.
Hai City is a large international city with countless people traveling back and forth every day. Although the hall is not crowded, there are still long queues.
Ye Canyang thoughtfully said that he took the trouble to help the two sisters stand in line.
Ye Ke and Ye Anan squatted in the corner of the hall with peace of mind.
Yes squat.
There were a few places to sit, but unfortunately they were all occupied. Ye Ke and Ye Anan had been wandering around Hai City every day for the past few days, and their thin legs couldn't hold up anymore, so they chose to squat.
Fortunately, they were not the only ones, so it was not too embarrassing. When the uncle and aunt next to them saw Ye Ke and Ye Anan squatting over, they considerately moved to the side.
