Chapter 238: 238 is destined to be incompatible like water and fire Chapter 238: 238 is destined to be incompatible like water and fire Zhao Shi was called into the room and stood nervously not far in front of He Shi.

He Shi looked at Ye Wenyu and Ye Wenxuan and said, “You two go out first. I have a few words to say to your mother.”

“Yes,” Ye Wenyu replied, then took Ye Wenxuan by the hand and walked out.

Eager to make an impression, as soon as they had left, Zhao Shi rushed to please her by saying, “Mother, I truly realize my mistakes now and thank you for being willing to forgive me. Whatever you say, I will listen carefully.”

He Shi snorted in disdain and didn’t take Zhao Shi’s words to heart. Instead, she directly said, “Zhao Shi, I am giving you a chance now. Help me with something. If you do it well, I will let you come back.”

“Please instruct me, Mother,” Zhao Shi immediately replied.

“Now that Li Shi has been jailed, the sin of colluding with human traffickers will be enough to keep her there for life. Erya is a child born from Li Shi’s affair, and she is not a true descendant of the Ye Family. It makes no sense for us to have supported her all these years for nothing. In the next few days, arrange a marriage for her and get her out of here as soon as possible,” He Shi said.

Zhao Shi immediately felt relieved. “Mother, I can handle this, leave it to me.”

He Shi smiled, “Find her a family who can afford a decent dowry. Since you’re arranging it, when the time comes, the dowry money will go to your branch of the family. Also, marry her off to a remote place, the kind where she’ll never be able to turn her life around. It’ll save us from being the laughingstock of the entire Ye Family if people see her. And it’ll prevent her from possibly having any opportunities in the future. You know, that girl is as cunning as Li Shi.”

If not for the law against murder, He Shi would have preferred to simply finish her off to eliminate future troubles…

As the dowry would go to her branch of the family, Zhao Shi could hardly hide her excitement.

However, Zhao Shi soon realized He Shi’s plan–it was clear that she intended to sell Erya off, and even to some remote mountainous area.

This was not about finding her a family; it was obviously about getting rid of her.

Zhao Shi was terrified inside. It was the first time she realized just how ruthless her mother-in-law truly was.

He Shi had not let Ye Jiu know her plans. In her heart, Ye Jiu was still a child, too young to be exposed to such sordid affairs. After all, she was still alive and could protect her daughter herself!

As farm work had recently picked up, the household resumed eating three meals a day. Moreover, today was rare because Ye Gaoyun had come home, making the meal quite abundant.

Though He Shi’s injury was not serious, she still did not get up to eat.

She was doing it deliberately, just to show Ye Lao Han.

He Shi was truly heartbroken by Ye Lao Han’s behavior today; so angry that she didn’t speak to him or respond to him until Ye Gaoyun left.

In the afternoon, after Ye Gaoyun had left, Ye Lao Han called Ye Jiu to sit at the door and chat.

“Xiaojiu, Father actually knows how much you hate Li Shi for what she did. As for Erya, let’s not talk about her; she’s not one of our family anyway. Giving her a meal and marrying her off is doing her justice. But Big Ya is different–she’s your elder sister, ultimately still Father’s daughter. Blood and kinship tie me here, I can’t just completely ignore her,” Ye Lao Han said with a troubled look.

Truthfully, if it weren’t for Ye Lao Han’s deliberate lenience over the years, even if He Shi could have managed the Ye Family, it wouldn’t have been as easy as now.

But what does it matter?

Since Big Ya is Li Shi’s daughter, water and fire are her destined elements.
