Chapter 41 Custody and Delivery

As soon as Ye Nan Yi left the black market, she was pulled by someone. “Sister, why did it take you so long to show up?” Kang’er would wait at the entrance of the black market whenever he had free time, but he had never seen Ye Nan Yi appear. He was about to give up in disappointment, but he didn’t expect to meet her today. “Kang’er, what are you doing here? Are you waiting for me?” Kang’er nodded and said, “Sister, my grandpa wants to see you.”

 Ye Nan Yi was surprised, she pointed at herself, not understanding why Kang’er’s grandpa wanted to see her. “Go, go! Sister, promise me!” Kang’er kept pulling Ye Nan Yi’s hand and acting cute. Finally, Ye Nan Yi agreed to go to his house because of Kang’er’s cuteness. “Okay, let’s go!” Seeing that Ye Nan Yi agreed, Kang’er pulled her hand and walked home. When they were about to reach the door, Kang’er saw his grandpa sitting at the door. “Grandpa, why aren’t you resting at home? What are you doing sitting outside?” Kang’er stepped forward to support his grandpa, and he didn’t forget to greet Ye Nan Yi. “Sister, come in quickly!” Ye Nan Yi followed the grandpa and grandson into the house. When she saw the inside, she was shocked. There wasn’t a single good thing in the house, everything was broken and incomplete. No wonder Kang’er had to exchange his hair ornament for food. “Sister, it seems like we don’t have anything good to offer you.”

 Kang’er saw Ye Nan Yi looking at their living place and felt a little embarrassed. “It’s okay, sister can just sit on this stool.” Ye Nan Yi casually found a stool that seemed safe and sat down. After Ye Nan Yi sat down, Kang’er immediately poured her some water. There was something strange though, Kang’er’s grandpa kept staring at her, looking thoughtful. Even with Ye Nan Yi’s thick skin, she couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable. “That, old man, is there something wrong with me?” Kang Lao Ye was lost in thought, but Ye Nan Yi’s words pulled him back. “Nothing, it’s just that you look a lot like someone, so I was a little taken aback for a moment.” Ye Nan Yi didn’t ask any more questions about Kang Lao Ye’s words. “People look alike, it’s not strange.

” Kang Lao Ye saw that Ye Nan Yi didn’t want to talk about this topic, so he stopped talking. “Miss Ye, thank you for giving us so much grain, otherwise…” Ye Nan Yi quickly interrupted, “Old man, don’t say that, that hair ornament was very valuable, I think I even gave you less.” Kang Lao Ye was silent for a while. At this time, everyone thought that these things were not worth more than trash, so he didn’t think about exchanging them for money. If it wasn’t for Kang’er’s boldness, they, grandpa and grandson, would have starved to death. “Miss Ye, wait for me.” Kang Lao Ye slowly walked to the room, and after a while, he spoke. “Miss Ye, come in.”

As soon as Ye Nan Yi entered, she saw Kang Lao Ye gasping for breath. Ye Nan Yi was startled, she quickly helped the old man sit down. If he got sick because of her coming here today, that would be bad. “Old man, what’s wrong with you?” Kang Lao Ye took a while to recover before answering, “Nothing, it’s an old problem. I’m old, I’m not as strong as I used to be.” Kang’er, who was standing beside him, started to cry again when he heard his grandpa say this. “Miss Ye, dig down, there’s something underneath.” Ye Nan Yi didn’t understand, but since she was strong, digging wouldn’t be difficult. After a while, Ye Nan Yi seemed to have dug something. “Old man, you wouldn’t have hidden something under here, would you?” Kang Lao Ye nodded, “Yes, take it out.” Ye Nan Yi took out several iron boxes from underneath. “Old man, I’ve dug them all out.”

 Kang Lao Ye put his hand on the boxes and opened them one by one. It almost blinded Ye Nan Yi’s eyes. One box contained a pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants, one box contained a pair of gold bracelets, one box contained silver-plated gold dot-and-swirl beaded tassels, one box contained a necklace, and another box was filled with gold bars. Kang Lao Ye saw that Ye Nan Yi’s eyes were filled with admiration, not greed, and he was very satisfied. “Miss Ye, take all these things.” Ye Nan Yi was startled, she quickly refused, “I can’t take them, these things are too valuable. Besides, Kang’er will need to get married in the future, it would be so impressive to use one of these as a dowry!” Kang Lao Ye was amused by Ye Nan Yi’s words. “I’m giving them to you, so take them. In the future, come to see Kang’er more often, I can’t keep these things.” Ye Nan Yi thought about the scene she saw when she came in, and she understood. “

Okay, old man, I’ll take the things. When things settle down in the future, I’ll return them to Kang’er.” Kang Lao Ye knew that Ye Nan Yi’s words were sincere, he pushed the pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants towards Ye Nan Yi. “This is a reward, take it.” This time, Ye Nan Yi didn’t refuse. If she didn’t take it, the old man wouldn’t be at ease. “Okay, old man, I’ll take the things. I’ll have someone send things over every week, so you don’t have to hide them.” Kang Lao Ye didn’t refuse, he nodded. “Okay, thank you.” Ye Nan Yi looked up and saw that it was getting late, she quickly greeted Kang’er. “Kang’er, sister still has things to do, I’ll come see you again when I have time.

” Ye Nan Yi thought for a while, she pretended to take out a bag of milk powder and milk candy from her bag. “Kang’er, don’t be reluctant to eat them, your health is the most important thing.”

Kang’er took the things and, with a burst of courage, said, “Sister, those things are my dowry for you, I’m going to marry you.” Ye Nan Yi burst out laughing. “Just a child’s talk, you’re so young. Okay, I’m leaving now.” Ye Nan Yi patted Kang’er’s head and then went to the place with the address Huzi gave her. When she arrived, Ye Nan Yi thought to herself, Huzi did a good job, he prepared a lot of baskets. Ye Nan Yi cautiously checked the surroundings, finding no one, she felt relieved. It wasn’t that she doubted Xing Jun, but it was better to be safe than sorry.

 Soon, Ye Nan Yi put all the fruits into the baskets Huzi prepared. She sat at the door waiting for Huzi. Huzi soon arrived with his men, he saw Ye Nan Yi sitting at the door. “Little sister, I’m here, are the things ready?” Ye Nan Yi nodded, “Ready, go and check.” As soon as Huzi entered the room where the goods were stored, he was greeted by the fragrant smell of fruits all over the room. Looking at the juicy apples in front of him, he couldn’t help but feel happy.

 “Little sister, you’re the best.” Huzi gave Ye Nan Yi a thumbs up. Ye Nan Yi found that Huzi was really talkative, she wondered how Xing Jun could stand him. “Okay, hurry up and move them! If we’re discovered, we’ll all be in trouble.”

 This wasn’t Ye Nan Yi scaring Huzi. Huzi shuddered and quickly called for his men to work. “Little sister, the goods are all moved, here’s the money, count it.” Ye Nan Yi directly stuffed the money into her bag. “No need to count, I have to go home, see you in half a month.” After Ye Nan Yi finished speaking, she didn’t care what Huzi had to say, and turned to leave.
