Chapter 206: Plan for the future at 206 Chapter 206: Plan for the future at 206 No way, they hadn’t planned on revealing it because they were afraid their own child would get involved.

But now, Ye Jiu, who was deceived before, had returned. It was impossible for her not to know who had lured her to the back mountains, and Goudan’s parents had also decided, after much deliberation, to seize the initiative. Before the He family could come knocking, they came over to apologize first.

In this way, they could at least minimize the fault of their Goudan.

No sooner had Goudan’s family left than Madam He, unable to restrain herself any longer, picked up the whip by her side and lashed it towards Madam Li, “I must beat you to death today, you old hag. Always putting on a pitiful face, but your heart is rotten to the core. If I don’t teach you a good lesson today, you won’t realize the trouble you’re in, feeding on me, living off me, and you dare to harm my daughter…”

Thinking of her daughter’s pitiable appearance when she came back, and that skinny little body wasting away, Madam He’s heart was unbearably pained.

Ye Jiu knew Madam He and knew she needed to let off steam at this moment, so she didn’t step forward to stop her.

And indeed, Madam Li deserved it.

Since Ye Jiu’s injury from the rock-hurling incident was never followed up on, and with Ye Erya having received a severe punishment, Ye Jiu hadn’t thought about revenge.

But this time…

It was not wrong for them to hate her; after all, that’s where their interests lay.

However, they should not have colluded with human traffickers and committed such heinous deeds.

Thinking of the girls sold into foreign lands, thinking of their desperation at that time, Ye Jiu felt unspeakably upset.

She and Ying Luoxue were undoubtedly lucky. Although they had witnessed bloodshed and lived in fear along the way, they had met Young Master Sikong and his people. At least they had the chance to return to their own home.

But as for those girls who had been sold, who knew what their fates were now.

She had considered rescuing them, but at that time she couldn’t even save herself, let alone others.

Looking at Ye Wenqing and Ye Wenyu, who were also staring hatefully at Madam Li, Ye Jiu said, “Wenqing, Wenyu, keep an eye on your grandma. Don’t let her beat someone to death.”

“Got it, Auntie,” Ye Wenqing and Ye Wenyu replied in unison.

Ye Jiu went back to her room and then began to plan her next moves.

Her original plan had been to send all the younger generations in the family to school after the New Year. Wenqing and Wenyu were no longer young, and there was no time to waste.

Regrettably, her own abduction had occurred, causing this plan to fall through as well.

Now, although her older and second brothers hadn’t returned yet, the matter of attending school could no longer be delayed.

In a few more months, the two of them would be 14-year-old youths. In less than two years, they would have to start talking about marriage. Starting to learn to read now, they would at least not be illiterate.

As for the imperial examinations, it seemed very unlikely they would have any hope, given their age.

However, Wenhao and Wenxuan might still have a chance for proper cultivation.

And as for herself, she did not intend to get involved with the soap business.

In this family, although everyone had their faults, Ye Jiu felt that they were merely scheming for their little households. As for truly malicious intentions, there were none.

She also couldn’t just rely on making trades in the Dimensional Space; she should also plan to carve out her own place in the real world.

Ye Jiu didn’t have any great skills, but she also didn’t want to remain in a passive state forever.
