Chapter 189 Pity
Ye Qingqing was surprised. Unexpectedly, the rough-looking iron ball could make such a delicate grass cage. She also gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely, "You are so clever!"
Tiedan, who was praised, smiled foolishly, and a suspicious red cloud appeared on her dark face.
"My people in my village can do it, but I'm stupid..." Tiedan felt that he couldn't afford such a grand praise. He just weaved baskets and cages. Everyone in the village was skillful, just as ordinary as eating and dressing.
"Not stupid...Dandan is smart..." Ye Tong was anxious and grabbed Tiedan's hand and said loudly.
Tiedan grinned like a blooming ink chrysanthemum. Not to mention how happy she was, it was the first time that someone praised him for being smart!
When the old lady heard the movement outside, she asked Xiao Li to push it out. When she saw the clean and beautiful Ye Tong and the dark, strong and honest Tiedan, she couldn't help but smile and asked, "Are they girls, your friends?"
Ye Qingqing hurriedly introduced: "This is a comrade-in-arms who cares about Lu Mo, named Niu Tiedan, this is my younger brother, Ye Tong."
She pushed Ye Tong down, "Xiao Tong, call her Grandma Sheng."
Ye Tong shouted obediently, "Hello Grandma Sheng."
Tiedan also screamed, shrank his hands and feet, and didn't know where to put his hands, so she spoke to Ye Qingqing and went to accompany Lu Mo.
The old lady could see that Ye Tong had an intelligence problem at a glance. She heard Master Chang talk about this child, but she didn't expect Ye Tong to be so clean and beautiful, and she was also very sensible. The Qingqing girl taught her younger brother very well.
"Get into the house and drink some mung bean soup and look at it to make the child hot."
The old lady invited the siblings into the house and asked Xiao Li to take out the mung bean soup. Ye Tong obediently took the soup, "Thank you."
"So well-behaved, has Xiaotong gone to school?" The old lady looked at Ye Tong who was drinking soup quietly and was very happy. The beautiful child is something that makes people like him from the bottom of their hearts, let alone being so well-behaved!
"I haven't contacted the school well yet." Ye Qingqing frowned.
Her tuition fees have not been collected yet, so she will go up the mountain to collect herbs one day. Unfortunately, the medicinal materials are not sold much. Pipi has already gone to the mountains to inquire and told her to collect herbs after she has news.
The old lady glanced at Ye Tong and said, "It's like she's eleven or twelve years old, right? You can't delay any longer. No matter what, you still have to go to school. I'll ask someone to help you contact the special school so that Xiaotong can go to school in the second half of the year."
Ye Qingqing felt even more embarrassed. She stumbled for a long time before she hummed and said the reason, "I found the school, but I haven't collected all the tuition fees yet. When the tuition fees are collected, I will send Xiaotong to study."
"How much is the difference? I'll make up for you first." The old lady said happily.
Ye Qingqing waved his hand and said, "No need... I can make money myself. I don't even want Lu Mo's money. How can I ask for your money? It's not much, I'll go and pick some medicine to get it all."
She said that no matter what, she could ask for the old lady’s money, she was soft-hearted and had short hands. Without any necessity, Ye Qingqing would never ask anyone to borrow a penny!
Only then did the old lady understand why Ye Qingqing risked her life to climb down the cliff to pick Ganoderma lucidum?
"Do your parents have no money?"
"My mother disappeared when she gave birth to Xiaotong, and my father married her stepmother again." Ye Qingqing didn't say much, but the old lady understood as soon as she heard it.
With a stepmother, my real dad has become a stepmother.
The old lady looked at Ye Qingqing pitifully. Ye Tong was ignorant and knew nothing. The burden was pressing on Ye Qingqing. It was really hard for this girl!
