0.53% Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around! / Chapter 23: You Cannot Afford It

Capítulo 23: You Cannot Afford It

Editor: Henyee Translations

The village leader Zhang Defu was in the middle of his dinner when he saw Grandpa Gen arrive. A bit nervous, he ran outside his house and greeted him. "Grandpa, you can send me a letter if you want to tell me something. You don't have to walk all the way here."

"I want to talk to you about Jian." Hands behind his back, the 70-year-old Grandpa Gen walked into the yard. He had carried cannons and survived fatal battlefields. The authority he acquired from being a soldier had been entrenched into his blood. Even when he had turned old, he was still intimidating.

The villagers didn't know how, but they felt that Grandpa Gen was awe-inspiring, and they respected him.

Zhang Defu invited Grandpa Gen into his house and asked his wife to leave. He sighed, "I'm afraid that Ye Jian has been suffering numerous grievances about which we don't know for all these years."

"Grandpa, it's my fault. I thought it was inconvenient for you to take care of a baby girl. It would be better if her aunt could take care of her. Sun Dongqing is her mother's biological sister, as well as her mom's sister-in-law. Who would have thought that Sun Dongqing…"

Grandpa Gen slowly raised his hands and said in a deep voice, "It's not your fault. We just couldn't see Sun Dongqing's true personality. This morning, Ye Jian decided to come back and stay in her own house."

"As I said, I was not in the position to make decisions for her when she was little. Now that she has made up her mind, we have to get this thing done."

"That child is as intelligent as her parents, and she will be a talent if she receives a decent education. I won't visit Ye Zhifan myself. On Monday, after you drop Ye Jian off to school, go to see Ye Zhifan and tell him everything his wife has done!"

When he said the last sentence, Grandpa Gen's deep voice was as cold as ice, making Zhang Defu's heart race out of fear.

He promised Grandpa Gen quickly. "All right, all right. If Ye Jian wants to come back, there is no reason to stop her. Grandpa, it's just that, all these years…" It seemed like something was preventing him from finishing his words.

"I have not retired. I venture inside the mountain from time to time." Without taking a sip of tea, Grandpa Gen stood up and adjusted his clothes habitually. Eyes glowing, he looked at Zhang Defu and said in a deep voice, "If Ye Zhifan disagrees, tell him to come back and see me. He will send Ye Jian back to me, safe and sound, just as I sent her to his family years ago."

Zhang Defu felt his forehead dripping with sweat. The anxiety was killing him. He stood up, bowed, and said in a panic, "Grandpa, rest assured, I will take care of it." Oh my God! It was the second time that he had seen Grandpa Gen lose his temper over the years.

The first time was when Grandpa Gen saw Ye Jian's mother returning home pregnant. And the second time was today, as Sun Dongqing threw Ye Jian out of her house.

Zhang Defu saw Grandpa Gen off. Without finishing his supper, he swept the cold sweat from his head and dialed the phone number of Ye Zhifan, who was still in town. He could not afford to face the consequences if Grandpa Gen became angry.

Before he answered the call, Ye Zhifan had no idea that his wife and daughter were on their way to see him. After learning what had happened, he was infuriated. "Brother Defu, I will apologize to Grandpa Gen in person when I come back tomorrow. But the thing about Ye Jian, I hope you can be a peacemaker and help me deal with it."

"My dear deputy town mayor, please don't give me a hard time. It is not up to me. As Grandpa Gen said, you should send Ye Jian back to her house, just like the way he sent her to your home in the old days."

Zhang Defu had decided not to meddle with this stuff. How dare he? It was Grandpa Gen that he was talking about!

Since Zhang Defu was the village leader, he was aware of what happened in the old days. The army came to the village quietly and presented a banner to Grandpa Gen.

It was Sun Dongqing who had caused this trouble. Zhang Defu would stay out of it.


Capítulo 24: Embarrassing Me?

Editor: Henyee Translations

"All right, I know this is hard for you. How about this? Ask Ye Jian to pick up the phone, let me talk to her." said Ye Zhifan with a straight face. Subduing his anger, he cursed Ye Jian in his heart. Fu*king bit*h! I will not spare her if she gets in my way of gaining wealth and power!

Ye Jian's heart twitched when she received Ye Zhifan's call.

In her past life, it was impossible for her to discontinue her studies out of no reason. Her uncle, the deputy town mayor, was the reason she became a dropout.

"Hello?" she said in a clear and soft voice. And then, she heard Ye Zhifan's voice from the other side.

A few years ago, her uncle's voice was bureaucratic and arrogant. Who would have thought that he was playing the family card right now?

"Uncle, the moment you spoke, you told me to stop being unreasonable. Please allow me to defend myself. My aunt accused me of something I never did, and she threw me out of her house. The whole village saw that happen. Am I the person who is unreasonable? Uncle, I dare not go back to your home now that you can't tell right from wrong."

"I'm sorry, uncle, Aunt Qiu is waiting for me to have dinner. I'll hang up now. Bye."

Never would she step back into that house where she did not belong to! She was reluctant to stay anywhere near it!

That night, Ye Jian stayed in Aunt Qiu's house, sleeping in the same room with Wen Li, Aunt Qiu's daughter, who was also her classmate. She did not return to her home right away.

Since Grandpa Gen had ordered Ye Zhifan to personally send her home, Ye Jian would wait for that.

On Sunday afternoon, Ye Jian returned to school with Wen Li. Although they were classmates, they were not in the same dormitory, they parted ways after entering school.

Carrying her luggage, Ye Jian walked to her dormitory on her own. Even though she left her junior high school campus over a decade ago, she still remembered where the teaching building and her dormitory were.

"Yingying, you are too excellent! Number one again! And your cousin is still in the last place."

Before entering her dormitory, Ye Jian heard the playful voices from girls. She squinted her eyes and contemplated for a while, and then she remembered to whom this voice belonged.

The moment Ye Jian pushed open the door to the dormitory, the noises stopped abruptly, as if she was a pause button. Everyone looked at her.

"Oops. Isn't this Ye Jian?" A girl in a red coat eyed Ye Jian with contempt and burst into piercing laughter. "The forever last place in class. You are famous in school now. You and Ye Ying come from the same family, how is it that you are poles apart?"

Provocation from a little girl. Putting her luggage onto the upper berth of the bunk bed against the door, Ye Jian turned around and looked at He Jiamin with a faint smile on her face, "Right, I wonder the same thing as you."

Ye Jian's bright eyes were looking at He Jiamin when she answered her. As for the connotation in her words, the related person in that question would naturally figure it out.

There were two other girls in the dormitory who were also on Ye Ying's side.

This was just the way it worked. Students with great academic records were usually popular in school. And only students who constantly ranked next to the last place would be friends with Ye Jian, who was always in the last place.

Coincidentally, the girl, whose scores were the second worst, also lived in Ye Jian's dormitory. But she was not in the dorm right now.

Before Ye Jian entered the dorm, Ye Ying was smiling humbly as her classmates admired her. When she heard what Ye Jian said, her tiny face as large as a palm turned pale suddenly. Moments ago, her eyes were glowing with satisfaction. But now, they had dimmed a bit.

Of course, Ye Ying had understood the implication behind Ye Jian's words.
