Chapter 791: 791 choice of opportunity
Ye Changsheng hardly hesitated, "Changsheng's life was saved by Miss Xiaojiu, as long as Miss Xiaojiu doesn't despise me, Changsheng is willing to serve Miss Xiaojiu for the rest of his life."
Ye Jiu's lips curled up slightly, "Remember the choice you made today." Today, she had given him the chance to choose, henceforth, he would have no right to betray!
Returning to Ye Changsheng's house, Old Man Ye, limping on one leg, came to meet her, "Xiaojiu, how are you, are you hurt?"
"I'm fine," Ye Jiu answered, then asked, "Dad, how is everyone at home?"
"Everyone else is alright, it's just your mother, who burned her arm, Qinghua's hair got burned, and my foot is a bit twisted, but there are no serious injuries. It's a blessing that we're all still alive," said Old Man Ye.
It was just a pity for the Ye Family's mansion and all their possessions, which had vanished into smoke with the fire.
Thinking about it, it was quite regrettable indeed.
But thankfully, they still had the workshop, and there was still hope to rebuild their home. As for the lost money, it could also be earned back.
The day was extraordinarily eventful; inside the Ye Family mansion, several dozen charred corpses were found, all of them the men in black, each burned to a crisp.
The government office naturally could not avoid sending someone, but the Ye Family were the victims.
And as for the perpetrators, the men in black, they had all turned to ashes. With the capabilities of a government office in such a remote small town, it was impossible to find out who the real culprit was, so this visit was nothing more than a formality.
Ye Changsheng's new house was still under construction. The old ancestral home was quite small and simply couldn't accommodate the entire Ye family.
Rebuilding the house wasn't something that could be done in a short time, so the Ye family had to move back to the old mansion.
Ye Wenyu had left, but Ye Gaosheng was now married, so there was still not enough room for everyone.
Fortunately, the weather had warmed up. Wenqing took a quilt and slept on the pile of firewood at the doorway. As for the other servants in the family, they found temporary shelter in the homes of clan members in the village. And for those who lost their lives, the only compensation they could now offer was a dignified burial.
At breakfast time in the morning, aside from Mrs. He whose arm was injured and had to eat in bed, everyone else was present, but Ye Qinghua was noticeably missing.
After breakfast, Ye Jiu asked Mrs. Zhang, "Elder sister-in-law, how is Qinghua doing?"
Mrs. Zhang let out a sigh, "she's staying in her room. There's nothing seriously wrong, it's just that some of her hair was burned off, and she doesn't want to come out."
"I'll go check on her," said Ye Jiu.
Mrs. Zhang nodded but did not say more.
The family's wealth had been burned clean overnight. The food they were eating today had been provided by members of their clan. But how long could they live off such charity?
What would they do next?
Mrs. Zhang, who was always thoughtful, placed her worries at the forefront of every situation. Therefore, she was already concerned about the future.
Before going to see Ye Qinghua, Ye Jiu asked La Sike for a hair growth remedy that worked quickly.
Ye Jiu went and knocked on the door, "Qinghua, are you there?"
"Yes, the door isn't locked." Ye Qinghua's voice sounded somewhat hoarse, like that of someone who had cried before.
Ye Jiu pushed the door open and walked in, only to see that Ye Qinghua's head was covered with a cloth, and at the hairline, only some hair stubble remained, clearly scorched by fire.
Walking over, sitting across from Ye Qinghua, Ye Jiu placed the bottle of hair growth remedy on the kang cabinet, and said, "Qinghua, your hair will grow back, don't worry too much. This is a hair growth remedy. Add two drops to your wash when you wash your hair. Wash it once a day, and in at most half a month, your hair should return to its previous length."
