Chapter 231 Bai Wei's Hard Days Are Ahead

The aroma of the Ye family's stewed meat soon spread throughout the yard.

Jiang Bo fried rock sugar until it turned caramel-colored, then added star anise, peppercorns and other condiments to enhance the flavor, and poured a cup of white wine into it. The aroma became even more alluring.

Coupled with the caramelized aroma of fried fish and the fragrance of sweet and sour sauce, the people in the yard could no longer sit still.

"Hey, what day is it? Whose family is so rich? I smell something like meat."

"Who can afford meat these days? I guess it's just stewed potatoes."

"No, it smells like meat! And it's not just a little bit of shredded meat, it smells like a lot of stewed meat."

“It seems to have the aroma of fish.”

"Sister-in-law Gao, this is your family, right? Your husband Gao is a level 6 worker, and your family has the best conditions in this yard."

Gao's sister-in-law felt a little proud when she heard this, but she quickly shook her head:

"That's true, but this time it wasn't our family, and I don't know whose family did it."

"No way, who else in our yard has the conditions to eat meat?"

"Is it Old Chen's family? Didn't they say that his daughter's son-in-law is coming back? This must be a delicious meal prepared to entertain the son-in-law."

"Impossible, the Chen family is not that rich! They treat their son-in-law like shrimp skin and cabbage, and they consider it good if he can give them a salted duck egg."

"Whose house is that?"

An aunt in the yard pointed at the Ye family silently and said:

"Stop guessing."

"Ye family."

Someone was surprised:

"The Ye family? How is that possible?"

"Hey, let's not talk about their family conditions first. The girl from the Ye family is pretty, but she's not very good at cooking. Her mother is almost blind, how did she prepare this table of food?"

The aunt said:

"You don't know yet, right?"

"The girl from the Ye family has a boyfriend."

"I came back with my boyfriend today. I heard he's also a police officer."

"She always comes with a lot of stuff, including chickens and fish. It's possible!"

Everyone who heard this looked at the Ye family with envy.

"What does this young man's family do? Why is he so rich?"

"Yes, he can cook. Judging from the smell, his cooking skills are really good."

"Don't even mention the cooking skills. If my family can get two taels of meat, I will lick the plate even if it's boiled in water. Damn, I haven't seen meat for a long time!"

"Yes, yes."

"Hey, Aunt Li, how come you know everything?"

The aunt smiled contemptuously:

"Oh, I sit here all day long sewing soles. Nothing can be hidden from my eyes."

She continued:

"By the way, this young man is quite energetic. The Ye family is going to make a comeback in the future!"

Aunt Gao felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.

In recent years, her family has the best conditions in the entire compound. Her husband is a sixth-level worker in the factory, her son works as a clerk in a state-owned factory, and her daughter is also good-looking.

She has always felt a little superior in this yard.

The only thing is that her daughter is not as pretty as Ye Xiaoyun.

But what's the use of Ye Xiaoyun being beautiful? Her father died early, and she also has a blind mother. She will definitely not be able to find a partner as good as her daughter in the future.

Who would have thought that Ye Xiaoyun actually found a partner earlier than her daughter Gao Xiaohua.

Moreover, according to Aunt Li's description, this young man is particularly outstanding, so Aunt Gao's mentality became a little subtle.

"Let's wait and see. It's hard to say what will happen in the future."

"Don't forget, her mother is blind. When she gets married, will she bring her mother with her?"

After Aunt Gao said this, several other people also echoed her.

“Yes, that’s a problem.”

"I don't know how they discussed it. Although it's not uncommon for my mother-in-law to live with us, she can only help with the housework! She is blind, what can she do?"

"I think so too. If she follows him, the son-in-law will definitely not be happy."

"Especially if it's like what Aunt Li said, this guy has such good conditions and he won't have trouble finding a partner, why would she be happy?"

"That's right, maybe this marriage will fail!"

Hearing the voices of these people talking getting louder and louder, Aunt Li scraped her hair with a needle and said to them:

"Hey, please keep your voices down, or the mother and daughter of the Ye family will hear you!"

Bai Wei had heard it.

Ever since her eyesight became impaired, her sense of smell and hearing have become extremely sharp.

Bai Wei's expression changed immediately, and the hand holding the chopsticks stopped in mid-air.

Jiang Bo also heard it. With the help of the system skills, his hearing was much better than that of ordinary people.

He turned his face toward the outside of the house.

Only Ye Xiaoyun knew nothing. She heard someone talking outside, but she couldn't hear what they were saying clearly.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Bai Wei's face looked strange, Ye Xiaoyun quickly put down her chopsticks and asked.

"It's okay, it's okay, you guys eat yours."

Bai Wei explained:

"I... I just had a fish bone stuck in my throat. I'm fine now."

Seeing that Jiang Bo's expression was also very serious, Ye Xiaoyun didn't quite believe Bai Wei's words.

However, she did not ask any further questions.

"That's good, Mom, you can eat the belly of the fish, it has fewer bones."

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of fish belly from the plate and put it into Bai Wei's bowl.

In the yard, the discussion continued.

Aunt Gao listened to Aunt Li's words, but she didn't care:

"It's the truth!"

She raised her voice instead:

"Maybe the young man doesn't even plan to marry her, he's just playing with her."

"She has a blind mother. Which young man would want to marry her?"

Now, even Ye Xiaoyun heard the discussions, and her eyes turned red in an instant.

Aunt Gao's voice continued:

"Or maybe Ye Xiaoyun has already discussed it with her boyfriend and will no longer care about her mother."

"No matter what, Xiaoyun's mother, hard times are still ahead."

"Turn over? She's dreaming!"

"boom!"

The door of the Ye family's house was suddenly pushed open.

The people who were gossiping in the yard were startled by the sudden noise and turned to look at the Ye family.

Jiang Bo walked out and went straight towards the group of people.

After standing still, he stared at Aunt Gao.

His aggressive look frightened Aunt Gao to the point of her legs going weak:

"You... what are you doing?"

At this time, Ye Xiaoyun also hurried out and grabbed his arm:

"Jiang Bo..."

Jiang Bo patted her hands to comfort her.

"Originally, how we live our lives is something we should discuss with each other, and there is no need to explain it to others."

"but……"

Jiang Bo glanced at the faces of these people, and finally fixed his gaze on Aunt Gao:

"I just heard someone was making up a story about Xiaoyun and me, and I think it's necessary to make this clear."
