A foreign city, dear you

"Tiger - Ox - Rat - Rabbit - Dragon - Snake -,

Chicken - dog - pig - horse - sheep - monkey..."

Ye Lian was holding a picture literacy book and sitting on the floor at the door, teaching Lanshan how to read.

Ye Lian likes to keep the door open so that it is more ventilated and cooler.

Lanshan is still very interested in these words related to animals. He often competes with Ye Lian to recognize them, and they seem to be very fluent.

Ye Lian felt that Lan Shan was already proficient, so she wanted to test him.

She covered the pictures of these animals with her hands and let Lanshan read the words.

Unexpectedly, Lanshan was dumbfounded and didn't recognize most of the words. He was so anxious that he wanted to pry Ye Lian's fingers off.

Ye Lian was happy because he knew that he relied on pictures to read.

"Shanshan—" a familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Auntie—" Lan Shan couldn't read anymore and raised her little head and shouted happily.

Ye Lian was about to take Lan Shan to practice a few more times, but she didn't want Ye Wei to come back.

Forget it, let’s get to this point today. Lanshan is still young, so take your time to learn the characters.

Ye Lian put away her picture-reading book and subconsciously looked at the time: five forty.

She can really wander around. She went out early in the morning and didn't return home until now.

"How is your job search today?" Ye Lian asked calmly.

"Not very good, I didn't see any job recruitment anywhere." Ye Wei replied while changing his shoes.

"Really? Where did you go? When did you go?" Ye Lian asked step by step, like a secret prosecutor.

"I went to a... it was an... anyway, it was an industrial area. I can't remember what industrial area it was. I got there very early, probably around eight o'clock."

"Really?" Ye Lian said coldly.

"Yeah, what's wrong with sister?" Ye Wei felt that her sister's question today was a bit strange.

"You asked me what happened? I also want to ask you what happened. Tell me the truth, did you go find a job today?"

"I...I...went to find it."

"You're still lying! How long will you keep lying?!" Ye Lian asked sharply.

Ye Lian originally imagined a cold judge, peeling off the cocoons and slowly interrogating, and then when the truth came to light, Ye Wei revealed his true colors, unable to quibble.

But as she talked, she lost her patience, and when she saw Ye Wei's lies, she got angry.

"Are you sure you went to the industrial area after eight o'clock? Are you sure you weren't watching other people dancing in front of Dafu Shopping Mall at that time? Are you sure you weren't going to the "Mei Moli" clothing store? Did you put all the people on the street together? Have you finished shopping in all the shops? It’s really hard work, my sister.”

Ye Lian poured the beans out of the bamboo tube and revealed the truth one by one, with a sarcastic tone.

Ye Wei suddenly felt guilty and breathless, and muttered: "How do you know?"

"Don't ask me how I know. You have to ask yourself why you do this? You pretend to go out to look for a job every day, but it turns out you are just wandering around?!"

"I don't have every day, I just have today." Ye Wei argued for himself.

"How do you prove that you don't work every day? Then why haven't you found a job yet?" Ye Lian refused.

"Why should I prove it? If I say no, I don't. You can say that I didn't find a job, you can say that I went out and wandered around today, but you can't say that I went out and wandered around every day."

Ye Wei felt that she had been wronged by her sister and argued loudly.

After saying that, she actually entered the small room angrily and ignored Ye Lian.

The current temporary population of Ye Lian's family has changed.

After Ye Lian lost all her documents, she had no stepping stone to find a job.

Although Ye Lian was unwilling to give in, under Cao Xueqian's persuasion, she reluctantly agreed not to go out to find a job.

I couldn't find it at first.

Grandma Lanshan had wanted to go back to her hometown for a long time, but she didn't go back because she had to help take care of Lanshan. Later, when she saw that Ye Lian could not find a job, could not go to work, and could take care of Lanshan by herself, she felt that there was no need for her to stay in Yancheng, and returned to her hometown soon after.

After Grandma Lanshan returned to her hometown, Ye Wei came, so she lived in the small room that Grandma Lanshan had vacated.

Ye Lian became even more angry when she saw that Ye Wei had entered the room and left herself outside.

Can't you just say a few words if you've done something wrong? Still such a young lady? !

Ye Lian was annoyed, but she suppressed her anger and said nothing more.

She knew that what she said next was actually nonsense, and her intention was to find out Ye Wei's true situation.

It seemed that Ye Wei just went out for a day of wandering today.

In the evening, Cao Xueqian came back and asked Ye Wei about his job search.

Ye Lian told Cao Xueqian that Ye Wei was shopping outside today in the name of looking for a job.

Cao Xueqian pondered for a moment, and then said: "This won't work. She already has an escaping mood in her mind. She cannot be allowed to escape."

"I already told her."

"Tomorrow you still have to urge her to go out and find a job. Finding a job must be very hard, but no matter how hard it is, you have to find it." Cao Xueqian paused and continued: "There is one thing she needs to understand: I can provide for her to go to college. But it’s impossible for me to provide her with an easy meal.”

A casual meal? Say who?

Ye Lian was silent.

She knew clearly that Cao Xueqian was talking about Ye Wei, and what he said was correct, but she sounded as if she was also implicit in his words.

Is it because you don’t go to work that you become more sensitive?
