Chapter 388: Chapter 387: Ye Qing’s Recent Situation
"Scarves do take a lot of time to make. I managed to make so many with the help of quite a few people."
Lin Wan chatted with Yu Qianqian about some household topics for a while, and then Yu Qianqian left with over thirty scarves. Not long after, Lin Wan tidied up and went home as well.
As soon as she got home, Lin Wan hurried to heat up the kang* and sat in the house, warming up for a good while.
During the night school, classmates were scattered, not fully present. This was common, and the teacher didn’t mind. They were experienced enough to almost cover the key points for the semester before the first snow.
The semester tasks had also been assigned, and now the teacher was eager for everyone to take a break and just come back for the final exams.
After all, it was night school — the requirements weren’t so strict, as long as the necessary knowledge was grasped.
During the break, Su Ling also pulled her aside to say, "Why don’t you just take a leave?"
Ever since she became pregnant, her mom and brother had been very attentive to her. Lin Wan thought about not going this winter but then reconsidered; there’s still a long time, maybe just wait a bit longer.
"Thank you, Sister Erni, for today," said Ye Qing, long unseen, holding the goods Yang Erni had brought from Lin Wan’s place earlier, smiling.
"No need to be so polite; it’s just a lift of a hand for me. (You) girl take a rest, I’m going back to my room," said Yang Erni, as she got up and returned to her room.
After seeing Yang Erni off, Ye Qing’s previous smile on her face turned into an unsightly grimace.
Yes, this was Ye Qing, who got expelled from school. After leaving the school gate, Ye Qing did not go home but instead pestered Li Liang secretly, asking him to arrange a place for her to live. She demanded 20 yuan from Li Liang every month.
She asked him to find her a job, where she now works in one department as a clerical staff for a small manager.
Ye Qing was aware that Li Liang was not willing to have too much contact with her now. Since he didn’t want to be pestered by her, she gave him a temporary peace for the time being.
Humph, Li Liang, don’t think it’s so easy to get rid of him in this lifetime.
The state she was in now was all thanks to him, whether it’s in the past or the present.
Just wait, wait for the day she becomes capable again, and watch how she pays it all back.
Although she was working in an office, it was merely an idle position, sitting in the office sorting out files for an afternoon a day, and yet the pay was still 28 yuan a month.
Ye Qing worked steadily for two months, paying a rent of 10 yuan a month for a single room to live in, which covered her living expenses. She even had leftovers, saving what remained, along with her family’s 10 yuan postal remittance every month, who didn’t know she had been expelled from school.
Ye Qing lived more comfortably during this period than she had in the past ten years. After indulging for a while and saving some money, she specifically took a trip to the department store to go shopping.
Unexpectedly, she ran into Lin Wan and Han Yi at the department store.
Seeing the two being close like that, Ye Qing felt the hatred inside her surge uncontrollably.
Mine, it was her who set her eyes on him first. She was the first one who liked him.
Ye Qing stalked Lin Wan and Han Yi for several days, learned about their new home, found out that Lin Wan was making clothes to sell, and knew she owned a store.
She couldn’t figure out when the always-timid little girl in front of her had become so resourceful, succeeding in business one after another.
Ye Qing racked her brains but couldn’t comprehend it.
Of course, it was temporary. Li Liang went to great lengths, spending 100 yuan to arrange it for her.
Li Liang had no choice; he wanted Ye Qing not to cling to him anymore, so he ruthlessly had this arranged to be free of her once and for all.
