Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 2 - 1: The Not-So-Bad Dad_2
Previously on Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life...
The village was impoverished, devoid even of a single telephone. Therefore, when Ye Qiu returned, not a soul in the Ye family was aware of his arrival.
It was dinnertime. Granny Ye, accompanied by her second son Ye Xiu and his family, as well as her daughter Ye Fang, were gathered around the large square table in the main hall. A bowl of stewed meat, a portion of pickled vegetables, and a stir-fried green dish graced the table. Five individuals were eating, their lips glistening with oil, yet no one called for Chen Wen, who was occupied feeding the pigs, nor for the granddaughter Ye Manman, who was playing by herself in a room.
As Ye Qiu arrived, his expression remained neutral, but a sneer echoed within his heart.
"Oh, big brother is back!" Liu Ping exclaimed loudly, her voice filled with surprise as she noticed Ye Qiu’s figure while getting up to serve rice. Her normally squinted eyes widened to their fullest, unblinking, as she fixed her gaze intently on the bag Ye Qiu carried.
"Big brother!"
"Uncle!"
The third son, Ye Fang, and the nephew, Ye Yu, alike looked at him with covetous eyes, or more precisely, at the luggage bag in his hand. They both assumed that just like the last time their big brother/uncle went out and returned with numerous desirable items, this time there would be even more. The thought crossed both their minds simultaneously.
"Big brother has returned, how much did you earn this time?" Granny Ye hastily swallowed a piece of meat, her compact and sturdy frame swiftly maneuvering to the forefront. Her eagerness was palpable.
Hearing the commotion, Chen Wen, who was behind the house feeding the pigs, also hurried out. She hadn’t had the chance to clean herself, so she didn’t approach closely, merely inquiring from a distance, "Are you tired? Have you eaten?"
In the entire family, only this wife, whom he had consistently neglected, genuinely showed concern for him. Ye Qiu, reflecting on his past life, couldn't comprehend his foolishness until the realization struck him as he neared his death.
"It's alright, not too tired," Ye Qiu replied. He walked over, unhesitatingly taking Chen Wen's hand, which was rough from years of hard labor, and offered a gentle smile. His action, however, stunned the rest of the Ye family, as if they had witnessed a phantom. Chen Wen was also taken aback for a moment. Upon regaining her senses, a slight blush tinged her cheeks, yet she did not withdraw her hand.
Indeed, in their early married years, the couple had shared a few years of sweetness. It was only after the birth of their daughter and under Granny Ye’s influence that their relationship gradually became strained.
"Daddy, you're back," a small child, barely three feet tall, toddled out from the main room. She immediately wrapped her arms around Ye Qiu's leg, gazing up with bright, lively eyes. Her little red mouth uttered sweet, coaxing words, "Manman missed you."
Both Ye Qiu and Chen Wen were good-looking people, and Ye Manman, having inherited their best features, was exceptionally striking. At this moment, being hugged and doted upon by this little girl, even Ye Qiu, who had lived through many lives, found himself unable to resist her adorable charm. How could the previous life's Ye Qiu possibly have been so unfeeling?
"Daddy missed Manman too." Ye Qiu crouched down, lifted his daughter into his arms, and planted a big kiss on her cheek, eliciting a burst of delighted laughter from the little girl.
Chen Wen watched from the side, her eyes brimming with warmth. Their daughter was nearly three years old, and this was a rare display of affection from her husband. She could only hope that this warmth would not dissipate too quickly.
Regrettably, the heartwarming scene involving the family of three was swiftly disrupted.
Granny Ye, Liu Ping, Ye Fang, and Ye Yu, having already opened the parcel, began to voice their discontent.
"Big brother, why didn't you bring anything for me?" Ye Fang asked, annoyed. She had already bragged to her friends about receiving new clothes. Now that her big brother had brought nothing, how could she maintain her dignity?
"Uncle, where’s my toy? I want my toy!" Ye Yu, the little tyrant of the Ye family, was not content with only half a bag of candy and started crying, demanding his toy.
"That's right, big brother, why didn't you bring the toy Xiao Yu wanted?" Liu Ping chimed in with her complaints. In truth, she was more concerned about the money big brother had earned. Her eyes repeatedly flickered towards him, as if searching for hidden cash.
Although the second son, Ye Xiu, remained silent, his stern expression conveyed his displeasure.
"Big brother, where's the money you earned?" As the head of the household, Granny Ye was the most direct. Upon hearing this, everyone except Ye Yu ceased their clamoring, poised to hear Ye Qiu's explanation.
"Money? It's all gone."
"What do you mean 'it's all gone'?" Granny Ye's voice was laced with anxiety.
Ye Qiu倘航倾舔膈的眉头一个把住可惜的朗眼地说到。 "大家都知道、当下政府抓坏脆交易一加百加千加一百一百加、我在火车上被地方查到了、全部都被携走了。"
"神麦……"也嘁不停事地叫呀、"为为啥地事情可以做些好事呢、可以携走了呢、内部不了手劳劳可胜希望并且且呢、"
"妈、别说了。你知道、我做的这生意国家有哪有资格、我这有好运称为一小部分、于方去了东西但是产生了、二氏大轿地上在这两个一百会一百個一百一百一百加加了。"叶秋将也在也在在低声里到奶奶也说、"别多说、知道多少有及接着多少和家人呢、"
