Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 185 - 180: Mom on the Offensive

Ever since that phone call with Ye Mu, Ye Qiu couldn’t stay put in City C anymore. She quickly handed over all her affairs to Lawyer Zhao to manage and would only return when she needed to appear in court or to liquidate assets.

In City T, a third-tier city, Ye Fu and Ye Mu ran a small business next to an elementary school. Now, during the summer vacation, they weren’t busy. When Ye Qiu and her daughter arrived at the storefront, her parents were tidying up the shelves. Seeing her parents’ gradually aging figures, Ye Qiu was choked up and couldn’t speak.

"Dad, Mom, I’m back."

Hearing the familiar voice, Ye Fu and his wife turned around incredulously; Ye Mu was still holding a box of pencils, which now fell to the ground with a "bang".

"Why did you suddenly come back?" Ye Mu turned around and stealthily wiped away a tear, "You, this child, didn’t even give your dad and me a heads-up."

"Come on in already. You’ve tired out my granddaughter," said Ye Fu, expressing concern for his daughter in the awkward manner traditional to Hua Country fathers.

"Grandpa, Grandma," Little Wen Yin still remembered Ye Fu and Ye Mu and called them sweetly.

"Ah!" Seeing Little Wen Yin, Ye Fu was even happier than Ye Mu; he put away his usually stern expression, warmly replied, and even rare for him, squatted down to make an amiable smile and asked Little Wen Yin, "Wenyin, do you want snacks? Grandpa will take you to buy some, okay?"

"Mom said Wenyin shouldn’t eat too many snacks." Although she was tempted, she had always been well-behaved and remembered Ye Qiu’s instructions.

Ye Fu affectionately picked up Little Wen Yin: "It’s fine, grandpa will take you to buy some. Your mom wouldn’t dare say anything."

"Dad..." Ye Qiu was somewhere between laughter and tears.

Before she could finish her sentence, Ye Fu’s stare came over: "What, you have an objection?"

Ye Qiu conceded, "How would I dare object. However, Wenyin, you must be obedient and not buy too much, alright?"

"I know, thank you, Mom. Wenyin loves you," Little Wen Yin cheered happily, and then whispered into Ye Fu’s ear, "Grandpa, Wenyin loves you too."

Hearing Little Wen Yin’s soft and sweet childlike voice, Ye Fu’s smile grew even wider, and he strode towards the neighboring convenience store with her in his arms.

"When I was little, Dad never pampered me like this," Ye Qiu said with a touch of jealousy as she watched the grandfather-granddaughter duo walking away.

Ye Mu chuckled and shook her head: "You just don’t remember, when you were little, oh, your dad cherished you so much, before you were three, as long as he was around, you never had to touch the ground. Ever since you’ve been married, he has been so worried that he couldn’t sleep night after night."

Ashamed, Ye Qiu bowed her head: "Mom, I’m sorry for making you and dad worry." fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

Ye Mu looked at her lovingly and touched Ye Qiu’s head like when she was a child: "It’s like this for parents, ’to have a son is a worry for a hundred years.’ Whether you are doing well or not, we still worry about you."

Moved, Ye Qiu hugged Ye Mu tightly, burying her head deep in her mother’s neck: "Mom, I’m going to stay in City T from now on and be with you."

Ye Mu gently patted her daughter’s back: "Are things with Kong Lizhi really over?"

"Over? The court has already granted our divorce, and I have custody of Wenyin."

Ye Mu was unaware of the lawsuit Ye Qiu had been involved in and was startled, looking at Ye Qiu earnestly: "What happened exactly? How did it come to a lawsuit?"

Ye Qiu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to be honest: "Kong Lizhi has had an affair. His illegitimate child is only half a year younger than Yinyin, and he’s also transferred our marital assets."

Ye Mu’s first reaction wasn’t to curse Kong Lizhi as a scumbag, but instinctively to care for Ye Qiu. Although Ye Qiu had succinctly summarized those sordid matters, Ye Mu could guess from her words the difficulties her daughter faced in the Kong Family over the years.

"How could you not tell us about such a serious matter? Did they bully you? Are you okay? Did Kong Lizhi hit you?"

Ye Qiu had to stop Madam Kong who, in her panic, tried to lift her clothes to check for injuries. Ye Qiu grabbed her agitated hand to comfort her: "Mom, I’m fine. Kong Lizhi hasn’t dared to hit me, and even though I’ve been wronged, it’s all in the past now, and I’ve made him suffer the consequences, so don’t worry about me."

"How can I not worry?" Ye Mu said loudly, her voice already tinged with the sound of tears, hitting Ye Qiu’s arm as she spoke, "Your father and I are not dead yet, and you, this silly girl, didn’t even think to call us. You’re all by yourself in City C; what if the Kong Family loses their humanity? You wouldn’t even have a place to cry."

Out of fear of making Ye Mu upset, Ye Qiu hadn’t mentioned Kong Lizhi and Granny Kong’s deliberate torment. Unexpectedly, this still made Ye Mu saddened. Ye Qiu stood motionless, letting her mother vent her anxiety and concerns.

Ye Mu felt sorry for her daughter. She couldn’t bring herself to hit her more than a couple of times and said with a sob, "It’s good that you’re back, as long as you’re safe. From now on, your mom and dad will support you."

Ye Qiu was both touched and amused: "Mom, I should be the one supporting you and Dad from now on. I have money."

"Where did you get any money? Would those stingy Kong Family give you any?" Ye Mu said angrily.

Ye Qiu chuckled and said: "Mom, you forgot what I just said. Kong Lizhi is left with nothing now, all the property is mine."

"Serves him right!" Ye Mu spat contemptuously, "Such a scoundrel should be stripped of everything. Let him support his mistress and illegitimate child. I want to see who would stay with him now that he’s penniless."

Ye Qiu silently agreed with her mother. Upon her arrival, she heard from Lawyer Zhao that Liu Yan took Kong Lizhi and Madam Kong to court, and Kong Lizhi, not to be outdone, also sued her, demanding compensation for all the money and wealth she had gained from him over the years.

As they were fighting like dogs, Ye Qiu got to watch a good show and didn’t have to worry about their family’s distressing issues anymore. She only wanted to end the marriage and claim the property as soon as possible, even if it meant paying Lawyer Zhao a bit more.

"Okay, take a seat for a while. I’ll go buy groceries; today, our family will celebrate properly."

"Mom, let me go." Ye Qiu stopped Madam Kong, "These past years, I’ve learned some skills. I’m planning to open a restaurant nearby. Why don’t you and Dad try my cooking and see how it is?"

Ye Mu sighed and patted her daughter’s hand, "If you have a plan, I’m not worried. Go ahead, be careful on your way."

"Mhm."

Choosing the Level 6 Light of the God of Cooking skill in this lifetime, Ye Qiu not only wanted to rely on this skill to provide for her daughter in the future but also hoped to let her parents enjoy some good fortune. With the Spiritual Spring Space, she was certain she could gradually improve their health.

Saying she was going to the market, Ye Qiu was actually just making a show of it. On her way back, she took a chicken, two pounds of large shrimp, a big black fish, two pounds of pork, and a large amount of fruit and vegetables from the space, before leisurely heading home.

"Did you buy too much? Can we finish it all?"

"No problem, we can store what’s left in the fridge. The vegetables today were fresh; I accidentally bought a bit too much without noticing."

Ye Mu rummaged through the bag of groceries, surprised, "Today’s produce is really nice. The peaches and apples smell great."

"Then Mom, you should eat more later."
