Henyee Translations“Ye Zhifan, who happened to be a village officer, got angry because of this. He said that Grandma Ye was stupid. How was Ye Jian going to live in the village in the future?
“Grandpa Gen was still in the military unit at that time. When he came back, everything was settled. Ye Zhifan didn’t care that his family would be affected by the girl. He went with Sun Dongqing to fetch Ye Jian back. It was a happy ending for everyone in the village. They weren’t worried that Ye Jian would be arranged to live with them.

The villagers believed in fate. They didn’t suspect anything. Even though Sun Dongqing treated Ye Jian badly, the villagers didn’t say anything.
The girl’s ‘fate’ was not good. When Sun Dongqing took care of her, she often hit and scolded her. Even if it was her own children who were disobedient, she would still beat and scold Ye Jian.
However, who knew that Sun Dongqing not only beat and scolded Ye Jian but also didn’t give her food sometimes? Even though she let Ye Jian and Ye Ying wear similar clothes, who knew what else she did to Ye Jian behind closed doors?
Principal Chen recalled the look on Uncle Gen’s face when he talked about these things. There was deep guilt in every wrinkle on his aged face. It was the deep guilt he felt toward Ye Jian.
Although Xia Jinyuan knew that Ye Jian’s childhood wasn’t smooth, he never thought that she would be so miserable. He held back his anger and closed his eyes. Suppressing the raging waves in his heart, he said to Principal Chen, “Uncle Chen, tell me more about Ye Jian’s childhood. I’ll see if there’s anything else suspicious.”
He wanted to know everything about her. He had no part in her past, but he wanted to know everything. He wanted to know how painful her life was back then. He wanted to love her more in the future.
He wanted to make up for all the bad things she had suffered in the past.

Before he could say anything, Principal Chen’s long sigh turned into a sharp long thorn that pierced straight into his heart. It caused him so much pain that he had to clench his fists to suppress his anger.
“Ye Jian led a good life in the eyes of the villagers. They thought Ye Zhifan was a good person. Every time he came back, he would say, ‘Ye Jian, come out and see what good food I brought for you.’ After a long time passed, all the neighbors felt that Ye Zhifan was not letting down his elder brother and sister-in-law. They were not afraid that Ye Jian would be brought to their house either.
“Every time Uncle came back from the army, he would ask about Ye Jian. Naturally, he heard that Ye Jian was doing well. She had food and clothes and even went to school.
“When Ye Jian grew up, everyone in the village knew that she was mischievous. She liked to cause trouble and lie. Sometimes, Ye Ying had to apologize for her.
“When she was in fourth or fifth grade, she was almost frozen to death in the snow. It was all thanks to Grandpa Gen that she was found and carried home. It was a pity that the Ye Jian back then was not like how Ye Jian is now. She didn’t accept any help from me. Every time I went to look for her, she would scold me.
“After searching for a few times, Uncle stopped thinking about it. Ye Jian stayed at Ye Zhifan’s house and lived what everyone thought to be a good life. Getting hit, scolded, and framed were daily happenings.. She didn’t say anything, so nobody knew about it.”
