Is this the hero's promise?
A spark of fire arose in Ye Zhiyin's heart. Since entering the book, what she was most worried about was the ending of the Ye family's bankruptcy.
As a member of the Ye family now, she couldn't just watch the Ye family be crushed by the male protagonist, so now was a rare opportunity.
"Are you serious?"
Xie Ye saw that there was light in her eyes, and she seemed to care about this promise. Although he didn't know what he could do to help her, he still responded.
"certainly."
"Don't go back on your word?"
Xie Ye: "...of course"
"Okay." A stone fell from Ye Zhiyin's heart.
"go to bed early."
After saying that, she turned around and ran back to her room.
Xie Ye looked at her back. Is she happy?
I was a little confused and curious about what conditions she would put forward...
the next day.
After Ye Zhiyin got up and came out, she saw Xie Momo memorizing the text alone in the yard.
"Momo, are you alone?"
Xie Momo looked back at her with a smile on her face, "The second brother went out for a run, and the eldest brother went to play ball."
"Oh fine."
Ye Zhiyin took the initiative to pull up a small bench and sit next to her. Seeing that she was holding a Chinese textbook in her hand, "How is your memorization?"
Xie Momo said proudly, "That's almost it. Otherwise, sister, you can test me."
Ye Zhiyin smiled lightly and took the textbook smoothly, "Okay, I'll take the test."
"Then let's memorize the third paragraph."
Xie Momo raised her head and thought for a moment, then began to carry it smoothly.
After she finished reciting it, Ye Zhiyin touched her head and said, "Momo is so amazing."
It can be seen that Xie Momo's memory is still good.
Xie Momo was a little embarrassed, lowered her head and said in a low voice, "It's just...it's okay."
Seeing her appearance, Ye Zhiyin couldn't help but touch her little face, and the door was kicked open with a bang.
They both looked back at the same time.
I saw a middle-aged woman with a little boy, shouting, "Where is Wenxiu? Come out, your son needs to be disciplined."
Ye Zhiyin subconsciously stood up to block Xie Momo, "She's not here, what's the matter?"
The middle-aged woman glanced at Ye Zhiyin, as if she didn't expect that there was such a beautiful girl in the Xie family, "Who are you? Where did Wenxiu go?"
"She is traveling far away. Tell me if you have anything to do."
The middle-aged woman seemed to sneer, "Her younger son beat my son like this, and I have to get an explanation today."
While talking, Ye Zhiyin pushed her son out from behind and saw that the little boy was a little fat. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and there were tears hanging from the corners of his eyes.
It looked like he had cried.
"You mean Xie Chi beat him?"
"That's right, it was that little bastard who beat my son like this."
Ye Zhiyin glanced at mother and son carefully, and it seemed that they would not give up easily.
"Where's Xie Chi?"
"Then the little bastard is at the back." After that, he added:
"As expected, he is a child without a father and no education at all. I don't know how this Xie Wenxiu was educated."
Ye Zhiyin glanced back, and sure enough, she saw Xie Chi walking at the back, with a smile on her face, and she had just entered the door.
Xie Momo was a little dumbfounded when she saw that her second brother was injured. She didn't care about anything else and hurriedly went up to check, "Second brother, are you okay?"
Xie Chi still looked cold and glared at the little boy standing next to his mother, "I'm fine."
When the middle-aged woman saw Xie Chi, she became even more angry and said, "You little bastard, I will make sure your family can't eat and walk around."
At this time, some of the neighbors passing by outside were watching the excitement at the door and pointing.
Ye Zhiyin finally figured out that the other party was afraid that he had a backer, so he dared to be so arrogant.
Sure enough, I heard the woman say proudly, "My husband is now a county-level cadre. When he comes back, I will make it impossible for your Xie family to stay in Xiangyang County."
Ye Zhiyin pouted, it was different when there were people in the family.
She noticed that after Xie Chi heard what the middle-aged woman said, his eyes were a little dodgey. He was obviously uneasy and realized that he had gotten into trouble.
Xie Momo was even more frightened. After all, she was still young and felt like she was about to cry, as if a disaster was about to happen.
She ran to Ye Zhiyin with tears in her eyes, looking confused, "Sister, what should I do?"
Maybe it's because she's the only adult in the house now, so she has no choice but to turn to her.
Ye Zhiyin patted her head to express comfort, "I want to ask about the cause of the matter."
Seeing that Ye Zhiyin was still young, the middle-aged woman became even more unscrupulous and prepared to bully him to the end, "This little beast beat my son when he passed by."
Seeing her words becoming more and more unpleasant, Ye Zhiyin frowned and pointed at Xie Chi, "Come here."
Xie Chi didn't expect Ye Zhiyin to help at all, or he didn't expect her to be able to handle this matter.
So when he heard her words, he was still a little hesitant and didn't move.
Still standing a few steps away from Ye Zhiyin.
Ye Zhiyin was not a fool, and he instantly understood that this child did not take his words seriously at all.
He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, forget it, don't bother with a half-year-old child.
Looking at him like that, he is obviously still a child.
She pointed to the fat man next to the woman and said, "Tell me what happened and why Xie Chi hit you."
The middle-aged woman didn't actually ask her son about the specific incident. She just thought that her son had been beaten, so she had to find the other party to explain it clearly and reason.
The little fat man looked at the woman first and then said, "Xie Chi hit me first, and I didn't do anything."
In one sentence, I completely wiped myself out.
However, Ye Zhiyin understood how Xie Chi could hit someone for no reason. He was lying at the first glance.
The middle-aged woman became even more angry, "My son didn't do anything, and he beat people. I have to make the Xie family look good today."
Ye Zhiyin crossed his arms and looked at everything in front of him, his eyes narrowed, thinking about a solution.
At this time, Xie Chi suddenly seemed angry, "I didn't, he was the one who insulted people first."
Ye Zhiyin looked at him and raised his eyebrows, "Insult?"
Xie Chi seemed to be unable to bear the grievance, and the conversation started immediately, "He was the one who scolded me first, saying that I was a child without a father, that no one wanted me, and even scolded my mother..."
The more he spoke, the softer his voice became. Ye Zhiyin knew that it must be very unpleasant to listen to, so that he could no longer say the following words.
Ye Zhiyin glanced at the woman coldly, "Did you hear that? It was your son who made the rude remarks first. As a mother, haven't you taught your children how to be kind to others?"
The middle-aged woman glanced at Xie Chi, her eyes as if they were tempered with poison, then looked at Ye Zhiyin, and said angrily, "What do you mean? Little girl, how old are you that you dare to educate me?"
Seeing the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two, Xie Chi stared blankly at Ye Zhiyin. She was tall and straight, standing there showing no sign of weakness.
Maybe it was her height advantage, or even that her aura had gradually overtaken her opponent.
