Surviving the famine: I made my fortune by helping others

"Little sister, something bad has happened. Mom and the others have followed us. They are trying to steal your things."

Liu Xiaohui shouted as she stumbled over.

Although they had only not seen each other for a few days, their appearance had become particularly scary. If she had not run fast, she would have been pinned to the ground and beaten by them.

"Why are they following us?"

Ye Chuyi frowned in confusion.

Although there were people following the team these days, she had also looked around and did not find any family members from the Ye family. They couldn't have just appeared out of nowhere.

"I don't know how they caught up with me. Just now, when my sister-in-law and I were packing our things, someone suddenly jumped out from behind and hugged us. I was startled, and when I turned around, I saw our mother glaring at me fiercely."

When they saw what my sister-in-law and I were holding, they started to snatch it away. Someone nearby couldn't stand it, so I helped us pull them apart. As a result, my mother and the others lay on the ground and started throwing a tantrum.

Liu Xiaohui felt a little embarrassed as she spoke. The Ye family looked so much like scoundrels that she couldn't even say anything.

"You and sister-in-law are not injured?"

Ye Chuyi didn't care whether the things were stolen or not. Instead, he looked Liu Xiaohui up and down.

"No one was hurt, but they took away the cloth you asked me and my sister-in-law to make clothes. They also took away the small bag of food you left behind, and our water bags."

The more Liu Xiaohui spoke, the lower her voice became. She originally wanted to stop him, but Ye Jinbao just hugged her and she couldn't break free.

"As long as everyone is alright, let's go and see what's going on."

After Ye Chuyi finished speaking, he walked towards the direction where the voice came from.

After walking a few steps, I saw the Ye family members lying on the ground and making a scene.

Although we had only not seen each other for a few days, they looked so shabby that they were even worse than the beggars living by the city wall.

Zhang, with dishevelled hair and dirty face, sat in the middle of the crowd, holding a small bag of grains in her hand, stuffing them into her mouth without caring about her image at all.

Beside her, Ye Baohe also looked like a starving ghost, and while eating he kept yelling for something good to eat.

Ye Baoxiang was much more reserved. Although he was eating, he was very polite. But if you look closely, you will find that he was hiding the food on his body while eating. He is smarter than the other people in the Ye family.

Ye Dazhu, the father of the Ye family, did not eat anything, but held on to a bottle of wine that he had found from somewhere.

The only normal person among them is probably Ye Jinbao.

He squatted on the ground motionless, staring blankly at Qiaoqiao and Anan who were hiding in the corner.

"These are all my daughter's things. I can eat as much as I want. I don't think any of you dare to stop me."

When Zhang had eaten enough, she held the grain bag and yelled at the crowd.

The people watching around stepped back silently.

This wife is really not a normal person, and they don't want to be blackmailed by this old woman at all.

"My eldest daughter-in-law, you are standing there, are you dead? Can't you see that I am thirsty after eating so much? Don't you know how to get me some water? You are such a tactless dead thing, you eat all by yourself and you don't know how to work. I will sell you sooner or later."

Zhang Yunxiu let Zhang scold her and just stood there silently without moving.

She had long been accustomed to days like this. When she was at home before, her mother-in-law would scold her even more harshly than this.

"I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me? Hurry up and get all of Ye Chuyi's things back to me, you bastard who doesn't know how to be filial."

When Zhang Yunxiu heard that her mother-in-law was going to take her younger sister's things, she finally reacted.

She raised her head and glanced at her mother-in-law cautiously, her voice as low as a mosquito, "Those are my little sister's things, you have to tell my little sister."

"I am her biological mother. What's wrong with a mother taking her daughter's things? She should show her filial piety to me. Why don't you hurry up and find the things for me? Do you want me to do it myself? You have no sense of taste, you filthy bastard."

"When did my things become yours?"

The crowd dispersed to make a passage, and Ye Chuyi walked out of the crowd with an indifferent expression, looking at the Ye family members sitting on the ground with a smile.

"Have you forgotten what I said before?"

Zhang was stunned for a moment, but after seeing the people around her, she suddenly felt confident and raised her head to glare at Ye Chuyi.

"You silly girl, how dare you talk to me like that? I gave birth to you and raised you up, so what's wrong with eating some of your food?"

She didn't think that Ye Chuyi would really not acknowledge her as her mother. Now there were so many people watching. As long as she made herself sound pitiful and let everyone know that it was this dead girl who was unfilial first, this dead girl would definitely be scared.

Zhang had a very good idea in mind, but Ye Chuyi didn't follow her ideas at all.

"What evidence do you have to prove that I am your daughter and you are my mother?"

Ye Chuyi looked at her with a sneer. Although she did not move her household registration out of the Ye family, if she was right, with the identity card of the county magistrate in her hand, it should not be difficult to open a separate page of household registration for herself.

As long as he doesn't admit that the Ye family has any relationship with her, no one will believe it no matter how much they say.

It doesn’t matter even if someone believes it, she doesn’t care about it anyway.

"You are my daughter. I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you. You also bear the surname of our Ye family. What other evidence do you need to prove that you are my daughter? If I say you are my daughter, then you are my daughter."

Zhang was obviously lacking in momentum, but she still held her head high.

"What you said is not right. Our young lady is the distinguished county magistrate. Even if she wants to recognize her relatives, she should recognize those famous and wealthy families. How can she be related to people from a small family like you?"

Aunt Du was simply a great assist.

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

In their impression, they had long since determined that Ye Chuyi was not ordinary, and they were unable to associate her with the Ye family members in front of them who were even worse than them, the refugees.

"If you ask me, these people are probably here to cause trouble just because they see that the young lady is capable, right?"

"I think they seem to have made up a lie. I have been listening to them for such a long time, but I don't think they have said a single word of truth. Maybe they came here from nowhere and heard about the young lady's affairs from others, so they came here to claim to be relatives."

As more and more people agreed, everyone spontaneously worked out a complete story line without Ye Chuyi's guidance.

Zhang was staring at the people in front of her in a daze, shaking with anger. She pointed her finger at them but couldn't say a word.

how so.
