Chapter 227: Huh? Is it a rumor?
Problems that were previously ignored now come to mind.
Think about what he gained besides the happiness in that life?
All the family property was lost, the wife and children were separated, relatives and friends left, and there was endless cold words and insults.
This is clearly not the case. Before the demolition, his family was happy, with a virtuous wife and filial children. Logically, after the demolition, he had money, and his life should have been icing on the cake.
How did he end up like this?
The problems that he had deliberately ignored before now appeared before Ye Wenlin one by one.
It was early spring, and the weather was gradually warming, but the streets at night were still chilly. A cold wind blew past, and Ye Wenlin shivered violently, his mind gradually clearing.
The next day, Ye Wenlin went to a nearby construction site to apply for a job. The site was short of workers, and even though they saw that Ye Wenlin was poorly dressed, they still agreed to let him join the company.
Ye Wenlin just worked honestly as a bricklayer at the construction site.
Staying away from his previous interpersonal relationships, Ye Wenlin integrated into a new social circle of fellow workers.
Poor, honest, and hardworking, each of them carries the expectations of their family and works diligently on the construction site.
He was reluctant to spend his salary, just to save it for his wife, children and the elderly at home.
Ye Wenlin saw his former self in his fellow workers.
Without the instigation of gamblers, he was surrounded by a group of honest and hardworking people.
Ye Wenlin's gambling addiction gradually faded.
After experiencing these things, Ye Wenlin's appearance is no longer the same as before, but at least his spirit has improved.
That's why when Zheng Jiayi saw him just now, she clearly noticed his changes.
Ye Wenhui on the other end was still muttering worriedly, "I'm telling you, don't be soft-hearted. Don't just believe everything she says. Who knows if this is just his sweet talk?"
Ye Wenhui was well aware of Zheng Jiayi's temper and was afraid that she would be coaxed by Ye Wenlin.
But Ye Canyang was right next to her, and Ye Wenhui couldn't say anything harsh to his father in front of him.
No matter what Ye Wenlin said, Ye Wenhui was skeptical.
She reasonably suspected that Ye Wenlin had changed for the better now only because of the influence of environmental factors. In the unfamiliar environment, no one tempted him anymore, so he naturally had no chance to gamble again.
But what if? If Ye Wenlin returned to Ancheng, back to that familiar group of people, and someone came to him and asked him to go play together, wouldn't Ye Wenlin really be tempted?
It's hard to say everything.
Anyway, Ye Wenhui was not optimistic about the outcome, so they just kept to themselves. If Ye Wenlin truly repented, everyone would be happy. If Ye Wenlin made the same mistake again, they wouldn't be dragged down by him.
Zheng Jiayi nodded in agreement. She knew Ye Wenhui was doing this for her own good. If this happened to anyone else in Ye Village, they would definitely have immediately urged her to reconcile with Ye Wenlin.
Maybe he would even use words like "A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold" to persuade her.
But why? She had to give up her current good life and go back to living in fear? On guard against Ye Wenlin's illness?
Zheng Jiayi said with a determined look, "I wish Wenlin the best, but I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore."
These words were actually also said to her son Ye Canyang, because she knew that her son had been closer to Ye Wenlin since childhood.
When they first divorced, Zheng Jiayi was worried that Ye Canyang would blame her. It was not until they had a heart-to-heart talk that she finally understood Ye Canyang's true feelings.
His love for his father is real, and his current disappointment is also real.
She was glad that Ye Canyang was sensible, understood the suffering she had endured during that time, and supported her divorce. Now he has taken on his responsibilities and become mature and responsible.
She didn't know whether Ye Canyang would be moved after seeing Ye Wenlin's changes, so she could only express her attitude in advance.
Ye Canyang pinched Zheng Jiayi's shoulders, trying to relax her tense state, "Mom, as long as you are happy."
One simple and clear sentence expressed his support.
Sure enough, Zheng Jiayi relaxed a lot after hearing this.
Ye Ke and Ye Anan looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Who knew so much would happen in one day? As outsiders, they couldn't intervene too much and could only watch quietly.
Fortunately, so far, everything is moving in the right direction.
After returning home in the evening, Zheng Jiayi's courtyard welcomed a guest.
Ye Ke also knew this person. She was Aunt Qi, the middleman who introduced this courtyard.
Aunt Qi smiled as she entered the room. When she saw Ye Ke, she greeted him with surprise. "Oh, you finally came to Hai City? If it weren't for Xiao Zheng collecting your rent every month, I would have thought it was a dream."
This is too reassuring. He bought a house for tens of thousands of dollars and just left without even taking a look at it.
Ye Ke was teased, but he didn't explain anything and just smiled shyly.
Aunt Qi didn't care. She turned around and said loudly to Zheng Jiayi, "Xiao Zheng! I heard some good news!"
She only said half of the sentence, but she lured Zheng Jiayi to ask it herself?
Zheng Jiayi's curiosity was indeed aroused, and she couldn't wait to ask.
The others also pricked up their ears. Aunt Qi didn't avoid people, which meant that they could hear the news, so they had to listen carefully!
Aunt Qi probably couldn't hide it anymore, so when Zheng Jiayi asked her so much, Aunt Qi blurted out everything.
"My nephew's classmate's uncle's brother-in-law's father-in-law works in the demolition office. He heard a rumor that our area is going to be demolished!"
Aunt Qi’s own home is right here, and it’s her turn to be demolished soon. How can she not be excited?
Ye Ke's breath hitched when she heard Aunt Qi's words! Oh my goodness! That wish she made just two days ago? And it was about to come true?
She had been talking about it for so long in Ancheng, but hadn't seen any progress? And now that she was in Haishi, it was working?
but......
Ye Ke glanced at Ye Anan suspiciously. Could it be because she made this wish right next to Ye Anan? Uh? Did she accidentally take advantage of her cousin's good fortune?
Ye Ke and the other two were very excited after hearing this.
Zheng Jiayi's expression remained unchanged; she seemed indifferent. She chuckled and said, "Auntie, I've heard this gossip almost eight hundred times."
Ever since the previous area was demolished, there have been rumors that it was going to be demolished.
Rumors are updated almost every two weeks.
Zheng Jiayi had heard countless versions of the story, and at first she took it seriously, waiting eagerly.
Later, after being fooled so many times, I no longer took it seriously.
Anyway, she won't believe any news outside except the official announcement.
"Huh? It's a rumor?" Ye Ke's shoulders slumped in frustration.
