Ye Caiping opened her eyes, only to find herself a discarded wife, cast out after being divorced. To make matters worse, her sister-in-law back at her maiden home was sharpening her knives, ready t...
Chapter 2 Three months later, you can do whatever you want
As Ye Caiping's memories came to an end, she couldn't help but secretly curse the original owner, calling him a scumbag and one who brought disaster upon himself.
At this moment, the quarrel was still going on outside, and Mrs. Du's angry voice sounded again:
"No matter whether she goes back to the Li family or anywhere else, she cannot stay in the Ye family!"
It was silent.
After a long while, the boss Ye Daquan's dull voice finally sounded:
"Mother, I know you are angry. But in the final analysis, we are the ones who are in charge of this family. It is us who made Xuan'er drop out of school. What does it have to do with my younger sister? If you want to blame someone, blame me!"
The second son, Ye Erquan, quickly chimed in: "It's my share too. Sister-in-law, you must hate me, don't blame me."
Mrs. Du's face turned pale, her thin body shook, and she pointed at them and laughed:
"You are still protecting her! She is a married sister-in-law, so we have to give priority to her when we have anything delicious or fun!"
"In order to support her husband's education, she even cut off the education of her own children and grandchildren! People with the surname Ye, are there any human beings like you? Our whole family has to revolve around her, why? Why? Aren't me and the children human beings? Aren't we human beings?"
After hearing this, the Ye family fell silent.
Ye Caiping, who was sitting on the other side of the wall, was also so furious that she wanted to grab Ye Daquan and his brothers and give them a few beatings.
Yes, why?
The original owner must be the legendary group darling! The parents hold their daughter in the palm of their hands and will satisfy her requests no matter how unreasonable they are.
The two older brothers are even more crazy about their sister. They are like idiots who would bang their heads against the wall for her!
From the original owner's point of view, it was a life of being pampered in a happy nest, but from the perspective of the sister-in-law and nephew, it was like being surrounded by a bunch of psychopaths and scumbags.
Ye Caiping sighed softly, she was already dead in the modern era and could never go back.
From now on, she is Ye Caiping here.
She has to clean up this mess.
Ye Caiping endured the dizziness and got out of bed. She opened the door curtain and saw that the room was full of people.
The gray-haired old man and old lady Ye; the eldest brother Ye Daquan and the second brother Ye Erquan;
The grief-stricken eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Du, the timid and silent second sister-in-law, Mrs. Wei, and several nephews and nieces were all present.
Everyone in the Ye family was dressed in gray clothes, with patches on top of patches. They were all as thin as firewood and had sallow complexions.
"Cai Ping is awake." Old Lady Ye was the first to exclaim and stepped forward to support her: "Why did you come out? Go back and have a good rest."
"I'm fine." Ye Caiping shook her head.
Ye Daquan breathed a sigh of relief, and glared at Mrs. Du fiercely: "You idiot, you made my younger sister so angry that she even got up from her sickbed! If you can't tolerate her, just go back to your parents' home! You are an outsider, you have no right to chase her away!"
"you--"
Ye Caiping was already confused. She didn't get up because she was angry at Mrs. Du, but because she was angry at Ye Daquan, who was so smart! She stared at Ye Daquan:
"Brother, apologize to your sister-in-law. Since she married you, she is the daughter-in-law of our Ye family. How can you say that she is an outsider?"
Ye Daquan was stunned: "Little sister, what's wrong with you? She is an outsider! Didn't you tell me that?"
Not only Ye Daquan, but Ye Erquan and others also looked at her in shock.
Ye Caiping choked, and memories flooded back into her mind.
In the past, when the original owner went back to her parents' home to ask for money and food, whenever Mrs. Du quarreled with her, she would always call Mrs. Du an outsider.
Whenever there was something going on, she would pull her two brothers aside and lecture them, saying that she and they were blood relatives from the same mother, and that her two sisters-in-law were from outside the family and she could not treat them sincerely.
Ye Daquan had already been fully PUA'd by the original owner, which was why he could call his wife an outsider so smoothly.
Ye Caiping said, "I was ignorant before. I shouldn't have called my eldest and second sisters-in-law outsiders, and I shouldn't have emptied my mother's house to subsidize Li Zhiyuan, a beast. I shouldn't have caused Xuan'er to drop out of school. I'm sorry."
She actually apologized?
Everyone looked out the window at the same time. Could it be that the sun rose from the west today?
And what did they all hear?
Everyone knows that Ye Caiping has always regarded Li Zhiyuan as her god, and has been calling him "my husband, my husband" all the time. But now she is willing to call him a beast?
Did he have a brain injury?
After being shocked, Mrs. Du became angry again.
She didn't care what Ye Caiping was up to: "What's the point of your apology? You've already spent all the money on Li Zhiyuan, and Xuan'er's life is ruined!"
Ye Xuan is already sixteen years old, but he has only studied in the town’s elementary school for three years. At his age, no school would accept him.
I want to enter college, but I have fallen behind in my studies and there is no way I can get in.
I originally wanted to wait for Li Zhiyuan to pass the imperial examination and then recommend him to the academy, but now that is no longer possible.
Ye Caiping has already thought of a solution: "I will return the money and food I took away over the years. When I make money, I will hire a teacher for Xuaner to catch up on the missed lessons. If you can't do it within three months, you can do whatever you want."
Mrs. Du didn't believe a word of it and said angrily, "Hire a teacher? Do you know how much it costs? Two taels of silver a month! I've already eaten up your empty promises!"
This excellent young aunt used to be very talkative, always saying things like what she would do after her husband passed the imperial examination. Now the only thing she has done is to change the filling in her cake.
Ye Caiping said nothing.
Given the original owner's previous style of making big promises to everyone she met, she didn't expect others to believe her, but she would do it.
Brother Ye Daquan was very pleased with Ye Caiping's attitude.
Although the two brothers who ate their sister's pancakes were also full, the younger sister had already apologized, so what else could they ask for?
"Stop arguing." At this time, the silent old man Ye put his pipe on the table, looked at Mrs. Du and sighed softly:
"In the final analysis, it's all my fault as the head of the family for the past fourteen years. I've wronged you. Caiping just said, three months! Within three months, I will find a new in-law for Caiping! Let her get married."
Ye Caiping almost spit out her tea. She said she would make money within three months. How could it be considered getting married when she got to him?
"What if she can't get married within three months?" Mrs. Du said, her eyes suddenly turned, and she said viciously: "If she can't get married, I will find her a husband! It doesn't matter who he is, I will find him for her and she will have to marry!"
After saying this, Du suddenly felt that she was extremely smart.
If Ye Caiping really falls into her hands, she will definitely marry her off far away! Make it so that these group of demons who support women and women can’t even reach it!
Or, just marry her back to her parents' home and let Ye Daquan take care of her!
Old man Ye was stunned. What was this?
Before he could say anything, Ye Caiping had already spoken: "Sure!"
This is what she meant just now. If she can't make any money in three months, she will let Du deal with it.
The original owner owed so much to Mrs. Du and her family. If she didn't show some sincerity, why would others give her a chance to redeem herself?
Although it wasn't her fault.
But once you have accepted this body, you have to take responsibility, no matter if it is a sin or a debt, only when you have paid it off, will this life be hers.
"But I want to change the conditions. If I give you thirty taels within three months, our previous grudges will be written off and you will have no right to interfere with my marriage."
Old Man Ye and others were all stunned. What was going on? This is even more outrageous than getting married again within three months!
Thirty taels? Does she know what she is talking about?
These peasants, even if their entire family works hard for a whole year, can't save even five taels of silver. Thirty taels for three months is simply wishful thinking.
Mrs. Du was afraid that Ye Caiping would go back on her word, so she said anxiously, "I don't care whether you want to earn thirty taels or get married, let's just make it a deal!"
Then he turned around and looked at Old Man Ye: "Dad, she agreed to this herself! If she can't get married within three months, I will decide her marriage!"
Mrs. Du simply ignored the conditions that Ye Caiping changed.
In her opinion, thirty taels in three months was impossible, so Ye Caiping had no choice but to rely on Old Man Ye to arrange a marriage for her.
Ye Daquan and the others were already stunned. After a long while, Ye Daquan finally recovered from his shock and slammed the table and stood up:
"You silly woman, when will it be your turn to marry my sister——"
"Shut up!" Ye Caiping glared at him.
Ye Daquan's face froze, full of disbelief: "Little sister..."
He felt aggrieved. He was clearly helping his younger sister, so why was she being so mean to him?
Old Man Ye frowned, puffed his pipe with a heavy heart, and then spoke:
"Okay, since they have already agreed, let's do it! Within three months, I will get Caiping married. If that doesn't happen, the eldest daughter-in-law will arrange it."
Three months was too short a time, but Mrs. Du suffered too much injustice because of Ye Caiping, and Xuan'er's life was also ruined!
There are other grandchildren... They all have some resentment in their hearts, so we have no choice but to agree.
Only after hearing what Old Man Ye said did Mrs. Du feel relieved.
Although the old man doted on his sister-in-law, he was a man of his word. Now that he had agreed, the matter was settled.
Ye Caiping was speechless. So, when she had just corrected them so righteously that it was not about getting married but about earning thirty taels in three months, they all turned a deaf ear to it?
However, the original owner had no other abilities except for her good-looking face, so her only option was to get married.
Ye Caiping didn't say much. She had already conveyed the message. As long as she completed the goal on time, the situation would naturally be solved.
