Principal Chen had rarely returned to Shuikou Village ever since Ye Chien left Fujun Town to study in the provincial capital of the Southern Province. This time, he came back because he wanted to visit the village since the sniper base was on vacation.
The main thing was to take care of Ye Jian's old house. The places that needed to be repaired were repaired, and the places that needed to be rebuilt were rebuilt by a local builder. The house was repainted inside and out, and the weeds were removed from the front and back. The old house suddenly looked brand new. The white walls, green tiles, cornices, and green pillars made it look like a beautiful river town in Jiangnan.
The old house had been uninhabited for a long time, so there was a damp and musty smell in the air. Fortunately, the sun had been shining brightly every day since Principal Chen came back. He opened the house wide, lit sandalwood incense, lit the stove, and invited a builder to repair the house. It was lively and airy. After the builder left, he went to the market to buy a few wintersweet plants and planted them in the house. The old house, which had been uninhabited for a long time, was filled with signs of human habitation. Even though it was an old house, it still felt exceptionally warm.
Sun Ying knew that Principal Chen had come back because Xie Sifeng casually mentioned it over the phone. "Ye Chien didn't come back to the village, but our town's former Principal Chen came back. He even repaired the old house inside and out for her. I didn't expect that the old house would look so nice after being repaired."
She didn't know how Principal Chen had taken care of Ye Chien over the past few years, so she asked curiously, "Principal Chen has already retired for several years. Why would he want to clean up Ye Chien's house? Could it be that Ye Chien sold the foundation of the old house to Principal Chen? Is she really not planning to return to the village? She won't even come back when she's old? She's already sold her old house. She must be really short on money. "
When she said this, Xie Sifeng's tone was filled with schadenfreude and a hint of disdain.
In the countryside, if a family couldn't even keep their old house and foundation and sold it all to someone else, they would be considered a good-for-nothing. If they sold their roots, they would be considered a wastrel and would be criticized behind their backs.
Principal Chen and Ye Chien were not related in any way. If he renovated the old house to look like a new, old-fashioned house, it must be because Ye Chien couldn't keep the family business and couldn't make a living. He was so good-for-nothing that he had to sell his family business to make a living.
Humans were inherently evil. They couldn't bear to see someone they looked down on suddenly become more promising and more useful than themselves. They might say that they weren't envious, but in their hearts, they would always think that one day, that person would be unlucky. One day, that person would lead a worse life than themselves!
Xie Sifeng looked down on Ye Chien. She had always thought that she was better than Ye Chien. However, when she saw Ye Chien on the day she appeared in court, she felt a deep sense of inferiority. She didn't dare to openly express her feelings like Sun Ying did. She even went against her conscience to stand on Ye Chien's side. However, countless nights, whenever she thought about the past and thought about Ye Chien that day, she would grit her teeth in the dark until her face became distorted.
Just like Sun Ying, a person who was clearly inferior to her in every aspect suddenly left her far behind and became the starry sky that she would always have to look up to. How could she be satisfied? How could she be happy?
Therefore, when Sun Ying came to her and offered her money, Xie Sifeng only had to put on airs for a few minutes before she pretended to be in a difficult position and agreed to Sun Ying's request.
Now that she saw that Principal Chen, who was not related to Ye Chien, was renovating her old house for her, Xie Sifeng immediately thought that Ye Chien must have sold his family business because she urgently needed money. Without money, she couldn't live!
