It wasn't that she was heartless, but there was simply no affection between them. The only thing there was Ye Erya's bullying when she used to take advantage of her own poor health.
When Ye Jiu had just entered the house, Ye Erya was still crying behind him.
Madam He would not show mercy. She turned her head and shouted, "Mrs. Zhang, hurry over and take this wretched girl away. Don't think that since I'm in a good mood today, you can disrespect me. If you dare to cry here again, I'll sell you to the mountains tomorrow."
The crying stopped abruptly. Without anyone having to intervene, Ye Erya sensibly returned to the cowshed.
Unfortunately, Madam He was still not satisfied. "All day long, you only know how to be lazy. Go up the mountain and gather wild vegetables for me. Don't come back until you fill a basket."
Ye Erya's steps to return home halted. She turned her head, picked up the basket, and left the house feeling wronged.
