Eleanor Ye and the Tides of Change Chapter 10

Rural people go to bed early and get up early. Most people get up after four o’clock. Women get up and carry water to cook and wash clothes. Men pick up hoes and go up the mountain to do some work. They don’t go home for breakfast until almost seven.

Eleanor Ye got up at half past five in the morning and left the house until six o’clock in the morning. She thought she was early enough, but Er Mazi had been waiting for him for more than half an hour.

“You have Uncle Cai, are you so early?” Eleanor Ye remembered it was half past six.

“We haven’t been here for long. Let’s go in.” The third grandfather watched as the three siblings were coming, without saying anything, and took them into the old branch secretary’s house.

The old party secretary knew what they were coming from, so he picked up the pipe and smoked it, thinking with Er Mazi. He also thought that Eleanor Ye had sold the land without telling Quentin Ye. If it was his nephew, he would stop whatever he said. But his family didn’t deal with Eleanor Ye’s step-grandmother, and the relationship with the two families had never been good. Besides, he and the old accountant were old partners, and I heard that Eleanor Ye was unwilling to make the land cheaper in the old house. Son, the old secretary promised to help write the contract without saying a word.

“Do you want to be careful?” Before writing, the old secretary confirmed again.

“I’ve considered it carefully and sell it.” Eleanor Ye nodded, taking advantage of the fact that the village didn’t know that Quentin Ye had an accident, he quickly sold the land, and she would definitely not be able to sell it at this price in the future.

The contract is broken in triplicate, one copy is left in the village, one for Ermazi and one for Eleanor Ye. In the countryside, the contract is better than any contract. Eleanor Ye, Laura Ye, and Eleanor Ye’s sisters and brothers pressed their fingerprints. The contract is officially effective.

“I gave you one hundred deposit yesterday, and now I’ll give you two thousand and fifty, you can make it clear.” Er Mazi took the broken contract and looked at it, carefully folded it and received it in his arms, and quickly took out a pile of big reunion. .

Eleanor Ye was not embarrassed to shirk, and cleared them in front of the old party secretary and Er Mazi.

“Yes, I’m having trouble with Grandpa, Lillian Xiao and Xiaoan are going to school, so let’s go first.” When Eleanor Ye came, he took two packs of cigarettes and put them in the hands of the daughter-in-law who sent them out.

“Sister, is our land sold like this?” She hasn’t eased up so far. Mom is gone, Dad is gone, and all the land at home is sold. Even if I know that there is still a lot of money in the family, I still feel very disturbed.

“The money is in hand, what do you say?” Eleanor Ye took Ethan Ye and the three of them returned home together. “This money will be our living expenses in the future. How is it spent? Where is it spent? I will take a notebook and remember it. .”

It’s not that Eleanor Ye is too careful, but it’s better to be clear about money, so as not to be confused in the end.

Ethan Ye didn’t understand yet, but Laura Ye really felt that the eldest sister was too clear, always felt that there was too much separation between the younger sister and younger brother.

“Sister, you don’t need to be like this, Xiao’an and I believe you.” The eldest sister said that after finding a job, she will have a salary in the future. It is her and younger brother who spend money at home.

“It’s not a matter of belief or distrust, first villain, then gentleman. I’ll remember this account first. From now on, you can read it if you want, or just leave it if you don’t want to. It’s just a matter of writing a few words a day without getting tired. I certainly hope that I won’t turn to this account in the future.” Eleanor Ye smiled, thinking like this now does not mean that I won’t think so in the future.

How kind her own brother treated her, it was different after she became a family and had her own children. It didn’t mean that she was treated badly, but… Eleanor Ye didn’t know how to say it, it was different anyway. . To give the simplest example, when the eldest brother is not married, Eleanor Ye asks him directly if he has no pocket money, and the eldest brother will transfer it to her as long as he has it. Ning herself would no longer stretch out her hand as she did before, because she knew that her eldest brother’s money was not his alone, and if there was an urgent need, she would also use the word borrow, and would return it to him when the turnover was over.

It’s almost the same thing. Anyway, Eleanor Ye has seen a lot and heard a lot of brothers and sisters for the purpose of making money. Now I have said it clearly, remembered it clearly, and I can say it later.

“It’s too early. You go to school quickly. I’ll go to Wilfred in the neighboring village to ask about the days and see which days are better in the second half of the year. My dad has to return to the roots. In addition, I have to get a magic card back. Let’s worship at home, lest he can’t find his way home.” Speaking of Quentin Ye, the three brothers and sisters looked sad, Laura Ye’s tears came down again, and now he can’t believe his father is gone.

“Sister, let me go with you. I don’t want to go to school now.” Laura Ye wiped her tears. It was useless if she went, she didn’t want to go to school at all.

“All of us go to school, otherwise all three of us will not go to school at home, others will be suspicious.” Eleanor Ye raised her hand to wipe Laura Ye’s tears, “Go and wash your face, refresh yourself, Dad is sure I don’t want to see us like this.”

Dismissed his younger brother and sister, Eleanor Ye took out two bottles of wine from her bag and walked towards the neighboring village.

Wilfred is their relatively famous Feng Shui. Whoever has a happy event will ask him to pick a day, as well as visit the cemetery, count marriage, call the soul, etc., in short, he can’t do it without him, he is a strict mouth, who What does it mean to look for him? No matter how others ask, they will not say anything. Over time, more people look for him.

When Eleanor Ye arrived, it was already over 9 in the morning, and knocked on the door, and a little girl came out.

“Hello, I am looking for Wilfred.”

“My grandfather happens to be at home, come in with me.” The girl took a look at Eleanor Ye and led her in.

When I walked in, I saw an old gentleman with a goatee, looking at Eleanor Ye unpredictably.

“Weird, your face is really strange.” For a long time, the old gentleman said strangely.

Eleanor Ye’s heart trembled. Could it be that this old gentleman is really capable, seeing that she is not a person from this world when she borrows a corpse to resurrect her soul?

“Am I wrong?” Eleanor Ye asked carefully.

“Nothing is right.” The old gentleman looked at Eleanor Ye again. “From your face, you have a tragic fate, no parents, sisters and brothers died early, but now you see it is smooth, rich and rich. It’s weird that the hands and feet are healthy.”

To be honest, Eleanor Ye didn’t believe this at first. Ever since she came back from the dead, she began to believe in things like ghosts and gods. Otherwise, she would not come to ask Wilfred for help in making spiritual cards. She did not expect to find a real talent when she looked for it. The master of practical learning.

“This is a good thing to me, it’s strange to be weird.” Eleanor Ye smiled.

The old man stared at her for a while, then nodded, “But it’s a good thing, why are you looking for me?”

“I came this time because my father died unexpectedly and his body could not be found, so I plan to set up a burial mound for him. However, my family is in a special situation. Now there are only three of our siblings and brothers. I am a young girl. The younger brother is a boy, but he is still too young and will inevitably be bullied in the village, so I plan to hide the news of my dad’s death first. When my sister’s high school entrance exam is over, I will take my younger brother and sister to the city. I’m going to do funerals again, so I want to ask which day is better in the second half of the year. Then I will ask you to help to see the cemetery. Then I want to invite a magic sign to go home, so that my dad will not be worshipped and be lonely. The ghost is bullied.”

Wilfred nodded and said that he understood, “Is a filial and intelligent child, do you have your father’s birthday character?”

“Yes, I brought it.” Eleanor Ye handed the note in her pocket to the old gentleman.

“In the second half of the year… your sisters and brothers will all go to school. The funeral should be scheduled between June and September.” The old gentleman said, “July 16th is the best day. The cemetery will wait for your sister after the entrance examination. Look again, lest you get noticed.”

“Thank you, Wilfred.” Eleanor Ye took the old man to give it away, and carefully put it away, “I will trouble the old man with the spirit card.”

“Well, three days later.” Wilfred got up and sent Eleanor Ye away. When she was going out, Wilfred suddenly said: “Although I don’t know your fate has changed, I guess you have some chance. , And doing good deeds in the future will be good for you.”

Eleanor Ye looked back and bowed to the old man and smiled: “I know, I will do more good deeds.”

She will rely on the prophet to make her fortune in the future. Isn’t this kind of wealth? Whether she makes money or not, she will do more good deeds in the future.

She always remembered the words, if you gain, you will lose, and if you get more, you will give up.

On the weekend, the three siblings rushed to Wilfred’s house early in the morning. Quentin Ye’s spiritual card was ready. Wilfred wrapped it in cloth and handed it to Yuri Ye. The three siblings walked home with heavy steps.

Putting the spirit card in the room where Quentin Ye lived, the three siblings lit incense and knelt on the ground three times.

Eleanor Ye raised her head and said in a deep voice, “Dad, if you hear the voices of the three of our siblings, come home, don’t float outside, wait for Lillian Xiao to settle down in the city when we are settled in the city. You set up the tomb. The gold ingots burned today were made by the three of our brothers and sisters. Don’t save yourself too much. We will often burn them for you in the future. If you have any shortcomings, please give us a dream.”

“Dad, come home quickly, don’t get lost, our three siblings are waiting for you at home.” Laura Ye cried as she burned gold ingots, “You must entrust your dream to me.”

“Dad, don’t get lost, you must come home.” Yuri Ye followed.

After the incense, Eleanor Ye took the two siblings out, glanced at the room, and gently closed the door.

“The time for my leave is coming. I have to go back to the city, Lillian Xiao, take care of myself and my brother at home. If people from the old house come, you say that our dad is coming back soon. Come back.” Eleanor Ye worried that people from the old house would come back.

“Sister, don’t worry, I’m not afraid of them when they come.” Laura Ye lowered her face. It wasn’t that she hadn’t been here before, or she had all driven away.

Eleanor Ye had to go to the city even if she was not at ease. One was that as she said, the leave from school was coming soon, and the other was to inquire about work.
