Chapter 202 Heartbreaking
He Jing's gaze was scrutinizing, and his eyes shifted slightly, carrying a hint of warning: "As long as I live here, don't even think about causing trouble in front of my house!"
Tiger struggled to his feet, furiously threatening, "If you don't move out of here today, I'll burn it down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he limped away in a panic, afraid that if he walked too slowly, He Jing would kick him again.
There's no time like the present, so in the morning, Ye Xiaoxiao's family busied themselves packing and moving out.
Fortunately, there wasn't much stuff, and it was packed up in no time.
"Have you heard? The He family is moving away."
"Move away? Move to where?"
"You don't know? This morning, Tiger went to their door and made a scene, saying that the house belonged to his uncle and that if they wanted to continue living there, they had to pay money."
"Oh, is that so? No wonder it was so noisy this morning."
"But where are they going to move to? Are they going to move to town?"
"How could that be? Living in town would be so expensive!"
......
"Ah Jing, what should we do with the vegetables in this yard?" Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the various vegetables growing well, her expression revealing a hint of regret.
It took a lot of effort to grow this.
"Just dig them up and bring them over." He Jing glanced at Ye Xiaoxiao, who looked regretful, and then picked up a shovel and started digging.
"Are you serious?"
Ye Xiaoxiao stared at He Jing without blinking, her eyes filled with disbelief. She thought the man was joking, but she didn't expect him to be serious.
"Don't you think it's a pity to waste them?"
He Jing stepped onto the shovel, plunging it deep into the soil before forcefully turning it over. He dug out the lush green vegetables, roots and all.
At noon, a luxurious horse-drawn carriage entered the village.
He Yunzhou jumped out of the car and saw He Jing busy in the yard with a shovel.
"Ah Jing!"
"You've come at the perfect time. There are tools by the wall. Pick one that suits you and get to work," He Jing ordered without any hesitation.
He Yunzhou: ......
I haven't even had a sip of tea before they make me work.
When do you plan to move to town?
"today."
"So what are you doing now?"
“Your sister-in-law said she couldn’t bear to part with these vegetables, so I dug them up and took them with me to replant them.”
A line of black lines flashed across He Yunzhou's forehead, and for a moment he was speechless.
"You should just spoil your sister-in-law!"
"Yunzhou, are you jealous? Hurry up and find someone you can pamper." Ye Xiaoxiao brought out two bowls of tea and continued the conversation.
“Yes, Yunzhou, you and Ajing are about the same age, it’s time to consider finding a girl to settle down with,” Mother He said with a smile as she came out of the room.
He Yunzhou paused in his digging. Did he not want to get married? Tong Lu's silly face flashed through his mind again.
The key issue is that he feels he might have something wrong with himself; he doesn't like women, he only likes men. What should he do?
If his father finds out, he'll probably break his legs.
He Wuyang blinked her innocent big eyes and stared at He Yunzhou.
"Cousin, why aren't you married yet? Is it because you don't like him?"
Mother He smiled and tapped the little girl's forehead: "You little rascal, you're so clever for your age. You have no right to interfere in what adults are saying. Don't hurt your cousin's feelings. Being single for a while doesn't mean you'll be single forever."
He Yunzhou: Aunt, do you want to hear what you're saying? I feel like your words are hitting me harder. Your dear nephew might end up a bachelor for life.
......
With He Yunzhou's help, Ye Hejing's family moved smoothly, making only three trips to move all their belongings.
As she was pulling the last haul, Ye Xiaoxiao spotted Hu Zi working in the field and shouted:
"Your uncle's good nephew, we've moved away, but we left you a big gift in the yard. You're welcome!"
After finishing his work, Hu Zi went to the house where Ye Xiaoxiao and the others lived. He saw that several large, rectangular pits had been dug at the entrance of the yard, resembling graves.
He then realized what the "gift" Ye Xiaoxiao had mentioned was! He gritted his teeth, his face flushed with anger, and kicked the nearby mound of earth, but lost his balance and fell headfirst into the pit.
......
He Yunzhou's carriage made several trips back and forth, making it difficult for the villagers not to notice.
"I never expected that the entire He family would actually move away."
"You bet they were just kidding. I thought they were joking."
"That young master must be a wealthy relative of his. Only his family would dare to bring their whole family to seek refuge with relatives. If it were me, I would rather live in a dilapidated temple than live a life of subservience and dependence on others."
"That's right, people need face, and trees need bark!"
Aunt Wang, who knew the situation, happened to be passing by. She didn't want to pay attention to these people, but she couldn't stand how harsh their words were.
She rolled her eyes at the gossiping huddlers gathered together and defended the He family, saying:
“What do you know? They’ve gone to town to live a good life. They’ve even bought a house. It’s nothing like what you’re saying, that they have nowhere to go and have to rely on relatives.”
When the women saw that it was Granny Wang coming over and speaking up for the He family, they pursed their lips in annoyance.
"I say, Aunt Wang, how much money did you take from the He family to speak up for them?"
"That's right, you're usually the one who gets close to them, you must have taken a lot of their money."
Seeing how rude the people in front of her were, Aunt Wang shook her head disdainfully, too lazy to argue with them. Some people are just jealous and can't stand seeing others do well.
......
A day later, the He family moved into their new home and invited some close friends to dinner to celebrate. Among them were Qian Ruoyun, Zhao Yun'er, Manager Yan and Bai Qing from Wujitang, and He Yunzhou, He's cousin.
Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang were naturally among those invited.
The elderly couple had lived most of their lives and had never seen such a magnificent mansion. They were genuinely happy for the He family. Their hardships had finally come to an end, and they were now living a good life.
Since there were many guests today, Ye Xiaoxiao simply set up a large round table in the courtyard. Two lush soapberry trees overhead blocked the sunlight, so it wasn't too hot.
Mother He warmly invited the two elderly people to take a seat, but they kept declining.
"Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang, you are honored guests and should be seated in the best seats."
"No, no, we'll just sit here." Old Wang looked down at his patched clothes and then at the young man's imposing manner, afraid of offending the distinguished guest.
"Uncle, Aunt. If it weren't for your help, our family would have had a much harder time. It's no exaggeration to say that you two are our saviors."
Mother He had a deep feeling. The winter when she first came to Dongyuan Village, a blizzard struck. There was no food left in the house, and the newborn baby was crying for milk. He Jing was also a child at the time, and he was so hungry that he was pale and thin. Mother He herself was also dizzy.
