Chapter 515: On the Importance of Reincarnation

Ye Jingsong said on the phone, "Yes, the letter was delivered to my home yesterday."

"Is she alright?"

Although it was unexpected, Ye Qingbai's tone remained indifferent.

There was no excessive excitement or enthusiasm.

Even his biological mother was a stranger to him.

“I’m fine. Your uncle sent a letter through someone. It’s addressed to you, but since you weren’t home, I opened it.”

Ye Qingbai remained calm and did not speak. Ye Jingsong continued, "She said in the letter that she would be returning to China after the New Year."

"oh."

Ye Qingbai was momentarily stunned upon receiving this news.

Is my mother coming back from abroad?

Is that so-called mother, whom I only vaguely remember, coming back from abroad?

Upon hearing the news, he was momentarily at a loss for how to react.

I unconsciously searched my mind for an image of my biological mother, but unfortunately, it was already very blurry.

Ye Jingsong sighed and asked Ye Qingbai for help, "Your Aunt Lan has been depressed these past two days because of your mother's letter. Can you help me talk to her and tell her not to overthink things? Even if your mother comes back, we can't get back together, right? Tell her to think positively, hurry up and buy New Year's goods, and stop being so suspicious."

"You'd better handle this yourself."

Ye Qingbai's mind was in a mess at the moment, and he quickly hung up the phone.

Although it wasn't outwardly apparent, it was clear that something was on her mind.

After dinner, Lu Ye said he needed to go back and install a color TV and needed Ye Qingbai's assistance.

Bai Zhi suggested, "Let's take Chen Qian back first."

"No need, I can take the bus myself. I live closer to here. You guys should head back soon, there won't be any more buses." Shen Qian slung her backpack over her shoulder and prepared to leave.

What a joke, she needs an escort?

Seeing her stance, Bai Zhi didn't insist any further. She gave her some instructions.

"Okay, remember to come to my place for New Year's Eve, we'll make dumplings together."

"Okay, I'll remember."

Shen Qian left gracefully, and the three of them headed to the bus station, just in time to catch the last bus.

Along the way, Ye Qingbai, who was usually talkative, became unusually quiet.

Bai Zhi looked at him repeatedly, her expression showing some worry.

Her cousin didn't seem happy at all when he heard the news that his mother had returned to China.

Instead, the news caused him distress.

Indeed, it's been so many years since they last met. It would be quite awkward for a mother and son to suddenly meet again.

After a long silence, Ye Qingbai suddenly looked at Lu Ye and Bai Zhi, stroked his chin, and asked his question, "Why do you think my biological mother, who was doing well abroad, suddenly came back?"

Ye Qingbai was filled with questions at this moment.

Why did you suddenly decide to come back?

I had always heard that my biological mother did not remarry while she was abroad.

Now that he suddenly wants to return to China, he naturally understands his stepmother Wang Lan's concerns.

After all, her ex-husband and son are both here.

His past relationship with his father was also real.

Although his biological mother did not love his father.

When he was young, his father was so infatuated with his mother.

If the other party really has the intention to reconcile, can his father withstand the test?

Bai Zhi said, "Now that the domestic environment is better and the policies are more relaxed, many overseas Chinese are choosing to return to China to start businesses, which is not surprising."

She was afraid Ye Qingbai would overthink things, so she tried to comfort him.

“Didn’t your uncle say last time that your mother was doing business abroad? It’s perfectly normal for her to expand her business to China now.”

Hearing Bai Zhi say this, Ye Qingbai breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, when he was little, his feelings for his biological mother were conflicted. On one hand, he hated her heartlessness, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but miss her.

But now that he is an adult, he no longer has a strong need for maternal love.

Instead, I'm more worried.

He was worried that the arrival of his birth mother would disrupt the current balance in the family.

He sighed, "Sigh, now that her letter has arrived, Aunt Lan is having trouble eating and sleeping again."

Bai Zhi said, "Then you should call back and reassure her. To be honest, your aunt is a good person and capable. She and your uncle maintain such a large pig farm without fear of hardship or fatigue. She's a woman who knows how to manage a household. At this time, you need to reassure her, otherwise she'll easily overthink things."

Bai Zhi was unaware of Ye Jingsong's romantic relationship with his cousin.

They also didn't understand his feelings for his ex-wife.

But she still vividly remembered what Ye Jingsong had said when they were in Bincheng last time.

He said that even if he had that thought, Ye Qingbai's mother wouldn't give him a second glance.

She doesn't like him at all, and her mind isn't on marriage.

But these words happen to reveal a piece of information.

That means Ye Jinsong was only forced into the divorce.

He was essentially the one who was abandoned.

He wouldn't leave Wang Lan because he knew she couldn't possibly have feelings for him.

Conversely, what if Ye Qingbai's biological mother were willing to reconcile?

Will he leave?

This is a very important issue that needs to be considered.

Ye Qingbai agreed with Bai Zhi's words.

Aunt Lan deserves a lot of credit for enabling his family to achieve a comfortable standard of living.

A woman, unafraid of getting dirty or tired, helped pigs give birth, fed them milk, and gave them injections, playing several roles by herself.

Even the veterinarian is no longer needed.

He has worked hard and without complaint for so many years, we can't let him down.

Now that his parents are divorced, the only bond between them is their son.

Although he resented his biological mother when he was a child.

But now that he's an adult and has his own independent thoughts, with guidance from his uncle's family and his father, he has gradually come to understand his mother's nature.

I also admire her as a woman who, in that era, was able to break free from the shackles of convention and pursue her dreams.

So, he later forgave her for leaving.

He knew that she was the woman who gave him life.

If she doesn't remarry and have children in the future, he, as her son, will have an obligation to support her in her old age.

But this is a matter between him and his mother.

His mother and his father have no relation to each other anymore.

Her arrival should not disrupt the current lives of her father's family.

Thinking of this, he suddenly understood and was also aware of the responsibility he needed to bear in this matter. "Hmm, I'll call home later."

When the three returned to the family compound, they planned to install a color TV.

The delivery of home appliances today caused quite a stir in the residential compound.

There are naturally some families in the residential compound who buy home appliances.

However, getting all three pieces at once is still quite rare.

That adds up to almost ten thousand.

Everyone here is on a salary, and they know all too well how long it would take to save up enough money to sell these high-end home appliances.

Although Lu Ye kept a low profile, there were quite a few people in his workplace who knew about his family background.

Especially after hearing that his wife had come and that he had bought these appliances, it was natural to assume that the money came from his wife's home.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the importance of being born into the right family.

Hearing the noise, Liu Guifang came out of the house and asked with a smile, "Oh, Xiao Lu, you're finally back! I heard you bought three appliances at once: a color TV, a refrigerator, and a washing machine."

Lu Ye nodded, "Yes, Xiaobai was in charge of buying it."

"Xiao Bai, you guys are really capable! Your family has really been supporting you."

At this moment, Liu Guifang felt even more deeply the importance of having family support.

Old Yang, her husband, came from the countryside. She came to live with him in the military with their children. Not only could her family not help her at all, but they also had to send money back home frequently.

Ye Qingbai chimed in from the side, "My cousin also earns money on her own."

Bai Zhi and her second grandfather were conscientious traditional Chinese medicine practitioners; otherwise, with their medical skills, they could easily make a lot of money.
