Chapter 839: 829 Reborn in the Eighties (12) First Update
Jiang Heng had known early on that the Ye Family had three children, and except for Ye Xingxue, during their two-day stay at the Ye Family, they only saw Ye Xinghui.
He had only heard of Ye Xingxue’s younger sister, Ye Shaohua, but he had seen the book she had given to Ye Xinghui.
Now, getting up early in the morning and seeing a girl enter the Ye Family’s home, he could only think of Ye Shaohua.
It was just a bit surprising.
"Hmm," Ye Shaohua was thinking about going to the School to have a look later, but she didn’t expect to run into Jiang Heng right after her morning run, and she nodded at him.
Very distant, she greeted him with no intention of continuing the conversation and went straight into the house.
"Stuff some more firewood into the pot," Ye’s mother had been so happy these past few days that she wasn’t restraining Ye Shaohua as much, "let the porridge stew a bit longer and it should be ready."
"Right away." Ye Shaohua pulled up a bucket of water from the well and then washed her face.
Jiang Heng didn’t leave but just stood at the entrance, feeling curious.
Having been in the village for so long, this was the first time he had seen someone act so calmly.
Even when Xu Cheng met them, he was somewhat calculating.
"You’re very smart," Jiang Heng wasn’t in a hurry to leave; seeing her wash her face, the sparkling drops of water trickling down her hair strands, he suddenly smiled, "but your sister isn’t as smart as you are."
Jiang Heng was referring to Ye Xingxue.
Ye Shaohua’s hands didn’t pause even for a moment, she merely glanced up at him.
"I’m just reminding you," that look made Jiang Heng subconsciously touch his nose, "give your sister a warning. Wei Hang is not someone to be trifled with, don’t end up losing the lady and the soldiers."
After saying that, he jogged right out the door.
After leaving the Ye Family’s gate, Jiang Heng couldn’t help but look back once more. The girl had already entered the kitchen and was out of sight.
He paused in his step, and then took off running again.
Just as he ran into a small path in the village, he saw a man standing by a small creek. Jiang Heng immediately stopped, "Uncle."
"Hmm," Yan Ziyun was looking at something in the creek with his back to him. Hearing Jiang Heng’s voice, he responded indifferently.
"Uncle, Wei Hang’s brother’s pager has arrived, shall I get it for you later?" Jiang Heng was always quite timid around his uncle, but he was still surprised to see Yan Ziyun out and about. Wasn’t it said that his uncle seldom went out?
Yan Ziyun initially nodded and then suddenly remembered something, "No need, you just get in touch with Chen Song and pass it to him."
Jiang Heng didn’t find it strange since his uncle always disliked being disturbed.
After Jiang Heng finished talking about that matter, he continued his morning run. After a circuit, he came back to see that his uncle had already left the place.

At the Ye Family, Ye Shaohua stayed in the kitchen the whole time.
She tended the fire underneath the pot, while Ye’s mother stir-fried a couple of small dishes above it.
It was almost six o’clock by now, and Ye Xingxue also came into the kitchen to brush her teeth.
"Xingxue, is Wei Hang up yet?" Ye’s mother turned to ask with a smile when she saw Ye Xingxue.
Ye Xingxue shook her head and took her toothbrush, "The door’s still closed, he probably hasn’t gotten up yet."
Hearing this, Ye’s mother glanced outside the door, saw that there was no one there, and leaned closer to Ye Xingxue, asking in a low voice, "Well, let me ask you, how are things between you and that Wei Hang? Mom has been seeing you with Wei Hang a lot lately."
Hearing what Ye’s mother said, Ye Xingxue’s face reddened slightly; her cup still empty, the hand holding the toothbrush subconsciously tucked the hair behind her ear.
Because of this, the pearl necklace in her hand became very noticeable.
Ye Mother also noticed the pearl necklace on Ye Xingxue’s wrist. Her eyes widened for a moment, knowing full well as Xingxue’s mother that she did not possess such an item before.
The pearl bracelet was clearly not cheap, and the Ye Family could never afford such a thing.
Not to mention the Ye Family, no family in the village owned one.
The pearl necklace was truly beautiful. Ye Mother stared at it in a daze for a while before she asked in a low voice, "Did he give this to you?"
"Mmm, he gave it to me last night," Ye Xingxue bowed her head slightly, "and said he would wait until I got into S University."
How could Ye Mother not understand the implication?
"This is great news," Ye Mother had not expected such swift progress, "My dear girl, I hadn’t realized you had such good fortune. That Wei Hang is obviously not a simple man, with his watch and that big cell phone. Look, does anyone in the village have anything like that? And his friends are no simple characters either, with Jiang Heng’s car obviously not belonging to an ordinary family."
"What are you all talking about so early in the morning?" Ye Father got up too and went to the kitchen to grab his toothbrush. Seeing the mother and daughter huddled together, he yawned.
Ye Mother was happy and didn’t mind Ye Father’s remark, "We’re talking about our elder daughter’s good fortune. You wouldn’t understand, so don’t ask blindly. Xingxue, you go brush your teeth first, and later ask Wei Hang if they have time tonight."
Ye Xingxue pressed her lips together in a smile. Before stepping out, she paused and turned to look at Ye Shaohua.
Ye Shaohua was stuffing straw into the bottom of the stove, and feeling the gaze, she glanced up.
That pair of eyes was as always, remarkably calm, revealing nothing inside.
Ye Xingxue turned away, somewhat disappointed, and continued towards the outside.
Meanwhile in the kitchen, Ye Mother was so pleased that her cooking motions became gentler.
Ye Shaohua sat silently inside, tending the fire, showing no particular reaction to Ye Xingxue and Ye Mother’s inflated egos.
In truth, even if Jiang Heng hadn’t reminded her, Ye Shaohua also knew that Wei Hang was just playing around. From his clothes to his watch to his cell phone, Wei Hang was clearly from an extremely wealthy family.
Whether such a family could look up to theirs was one matter, but the key issue was that Xingxue could not hold on to a man like Wei Hang.
Anticipating the outcome, Shaohua did not pay it much attention.
Once the porridge was ready, Shaohua ate quickly and went to her room to grab her books. She left for School before Wei Hang woke up and Xun Cheng and his party arrived.
Now, Ye Mother no longer cared whether Shaohua actually attended school or not; her focus was entirely on Wei Hang and his friends.
Ye Xinghui was also getting up and saw Shaohua carrying a pile of books out the door.
He gave her an extra glance, and his furrowed brow relaxed slightly.
On the other hand, Xingxue had not been to School for several days. Ye Father had mentioned it a few times but stopped after being shouted down by Ye Mother.
After Shaohua left for School, she participated in a grade-level examination. During the exam, Xingxue paid a visit.
She did not compare answers with her classmates and then hurried back home.
Everyone in the class was discussing the leather shoes on Xingxue’s feet and the necklace on her wrist.
Some even secretly asked Shaohua if their family had struck it rich.
Shaohua remained silent and did not reply.
That evening, after returning and placing her books back in the Ye home, she found quite a few people inside upon leaving.
Ye Mother was in the middle of talking to another middle-aged woman, with Xingxue standing by their side.
Noticing Shaohua coming out, Xingxue suddenly remembered something, "Shaohua, aren’t you quite close with Jiang Heng? I saw you talking with him this morning?"
