Ye Tianxin couldn’t think of a suitable way. The Lucky Girls had returned to Koryo. It was impossible for her to fly to Koryo to fight with them.
“I have no idea.”
“Then leave it to me.”
Xie Xuning walked to the study and called the person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce.
One of the news stories from that night was that the Empire banned the export of Chinese cabbages to Koryo.
When Ye Tianxin watched the news on TV, she blinked her eyes and stared at Xie Xuning. She asked him, “Dad, did you do that?”
Chinese New Year was more than a month away.
According to the tradition of Koryo, it was the best time to pickle the spicy cabbages then.
The spicy cabbages that were used to make pickles every year were imported from the Empire because the land of Koryo was so small.
Now the Ministry of Commerce in the Imperial prohibited exportation of Chinese cabbages to Koryo, which was undoubtedly strangling the Koreans.
Xie Xuning replied slowly, “Why would I do that? The people in the Imperial have to spend winter too. The winter vegetables must be prepared every year.”
Hearing the conversation between Xie Xuning and Ye Tianxin, Xie Yi asked with a smile, “What are you talking about?”
“Mom, we are talking about the Chinese cabbage.”
Xie Yi’s face turned green when she heard the Chinese cabbage.
“I don’t like to eat it pickled, I prefer to eat this one.”
With her chopsticks, Xie Yi pointed at a dish of Jiameng pickle, which had a crisp taste with a slight sweetness.
“It was pickled by my grandma.”
Grandma nodded and said, “Yes. If it tastes good, you can eat more. Come on, Linlang, eat more.”
“Can we talk?” Xie Yi looked at Xie Xuning.
Xie Xuning’s eyes were a bit complicated because he was not willing to talk to Xie Yi alone.
He was worried about what would he do if Xie Yi fainted again like last time?
“Go ahead. You guys go and have a chat.”
Grandma cheerfully urged Xie Yi and Xie Xuning to chat. She also blinked at Ye Tianxin as if she was not far from the time when she was holding a grandchild.
Xie Yi and Xie Xuning walked out.
Grandma took Ye Tianxin’s hand and whispered, “Tianxin, don’t worry. Even if your parents gave birth to a little brother, you are still my precious granddaughter…”
Ye Tianxin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She said, “Grandma, Would it be good for you to just have a granddaughter like me?”
Grandma asked back, “Would it be good for your father and your mother to have a younger brother?”
Ye Tianxin lowered her head. She thought it wasn’t bad, just because Xie Yi was not Ye Linlang.
If the real Ye Linlang came back, her parents could do whatever they wanted, even have some children.
However, Xie Yi was not Ye Linlang .
Ye Tianxin let out a long sigh. She couldn’t tell how she felt, but she always felt a little strange about it.
Sometimes, how she hoped that Xie Yi was Ye Linlang, but she knew clearly that she was not her.
It was a very complicated feeling, so much so that she didn’t know how to deal with it.
It was because she saw how Xie Yi had a crush on Xie Xuning.
“Mr. Xie, I’m sorry about the old lady because I didn’t take good care of her…”
Xie Xuning interrupted her upon hearing Xie Yi say that. “Dr. Xie, if you want to talk about this matter, you don’t need to. It’s not your fault, and you don’t have to blame yourself. Both Ye Tianxin and I know…”
“However, why don’t you blame me?” There was a blurred mist in Xie Yi’s eyes.
They didn’t blame her because they treated her as an outsider.
“Why would we blame you? You have done so much for us. How can we blame you if we are so grateful to you? Dr. Xie, you don’t have to worry about anything. Our whole family is very grateful to you. My mother-in-law’s emotions are getting much better because of you.”
