Chapter 6 - Mommy! (2)
Ye Qing did not elaborate. She just kept on shaking her head. Her eyes darted around as though she had something to hide, and she added deliberately, “I don’t want to talk about it anymore… Aye, don’t worry. It’s not infectious…”
That confirmed what the cousin-in-law had in mind. She turned pale and subconsciously covered up her stomach and wanted to get as far away from Ye Qing as possible.
This cousin-in-law was a character in and of herself with the look of a white lotus. Could it be something deadly infectious? Like AIDS?
Judging from the way the cousin-in-law looked, and putting that together with Ye Qing’s words, nobody looked happy at the table. The entire family had the same thought.
Oh crap! And they’ve just had dinner with her at the same table!
What were they going to do? Could they have been infected already?!
No, wait. That couldn’t be. It wasn’t that easy to catch AIDS.
But even so, they were still worried!
Ye Qing sniffled and wiped away some more tears. She forced a brave smile on herself and said, “Luckily, I have you guys and my family.”
She took a look at the rest of the house and said, “This house has quite a few rooms and I only need one for myself. Cousin and cousin-in-law can continue to stay here. It would certainly be nice that we can take care of each other in the days to come.”
As soon as she said that, the cousin, the cousin-in-law, big aunt, and big uncle’s faces all darkened.
The big aunt couldn’t hold back anymore, “Your cousins have a lot of stuff, and there isn’t a spare room in the house, perhaps you can…”
“Then I’m afraid I will have to trouble cousin and cousin-in-law to pack up some of their stuff,” said Ye Qing appreciatively as she dropped her lure. “I am all alone with no parents or children, so I’ll definitely have to give away my apartment in the city a year from now.”
The big aunt, who was just about to say something else, paused. And everybody else’s eyes lit up as well.
That’s right. Ye Qing only have one year left; who would she give her apartment to then?
That apartment was worth millions!
Ye Qing lowered her head slightly, and her voice softened, “I will just give it to whoever that is nice to me in my remaining time.”
The effect of her words was immediate.
Second Aunt, who hadn’t been saying much this entire time but just watching the drama unfolded, suddenly chimed in, “Poor Ah Qing, you are so young. I can’t believe it….” She wiped away her own tears with a sad look on her.
The Second Aunt had always been like this. She has always been the quiet one who didn’t talk much and always put on a virtuous front. But, she’d turn around and agitate the Big Aunt with her words and always made her move before Big Aunt.
She was half the reason why the original owner had originally left the village.
As she heard that, the Big Aunt gave Second Aunt a vicious stare. She knew what was going through her mind.
She wanted to fight over the apartment with her? She didn’t win when they were battling over this house in the village; she wouldn’t win over the one in the city either!
At this point in time, she couldn’t possibly ask Ye Qing to look for her own place. She was probably here to stay.
Letting her have one room wasn’t a big deal, but with her illness, she’d be worried about living with her! Plus, there was her son and her unborn grandchild!
Big Aunt gritted her teeth and said, “Oh, you poor thing. How did you get this illness at such a young age? Aye. I heard that you will need a quiet environment with this illness. It wouldn’t be good for you to live with us. Why don’t we do this? I will have your cousin and cousin-in-law move out so you can live here by yourself. You will have a better environment then. If you need any help in your day-to-day life, just give me a call. I will help with whatever I can!”
Ye Qing smiled with appreciation and said, “Thank you very much, Big Aunt!”
