Chapter 279 Not Even as Good as Sister-in-law

Ye Caiping smiled and said, "This gift must have been taken by mistake."

He closed the box and stuffed it back into Ye Peng's hand. "It's so valuable, Peng'er should take it back. Just give me a set of pens and ink or a piece of paper. Jin'er has been using up pens and ink very quickly lately."

Ye Peng stared blankly at the box that returned to his hand. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word.

Ye Jin'er glanced at Ye Peng with a complicated expression.

Wei was panicked and asked anxiously, "How can it be valuable? Just now, my elder brother and his wife gave Jin'er a gold bracelet! Come on, put it on quickly."

As he said this, he picked up the hairpin and was about to put it on Jin'er's head.

Ye Caiping stepped forward and blocked her hand: "Second sister-in-law, what are you doing? The end of the hairpin is so sharp, be careful not to hurt anyone."

Wei's face changed slightly, and she was anxious. She said anxiously, "What's the harm... This is a gift from Peng'er to Jin'er. This is the most valuable gift in our family!"

Ye Caiping's face darkened: "If it is so valuable, why didn't Second Sister-in-law give it to you just now, but let Peng'er give it to you? Doesn't Second Sister-in-law know the difference between men and women?"

"Which man of the same age would give a hairpin to a woman? Do you think it's appropriate, sister-in-law?"

Wei's face froze.

"Second brother, stop messing around." Old Mrs. Ye glared at her.

Ye Erquan finally came back to his senses from his shock and said angrily:

"What are you doing? I asked you to prepare a good gift last night, but you prepared a shabby purse and asked Ye Peng to get a gold hairpin. Did you get the wrong one?"

Wei's neck shrank when he yelled at her.

I saw Ye Caiping standing there with a gloomy face, feeling a little flustered.

She asked Ye Peng to give her a gold hairpin as a semi-explicit indication, and she also wanted to gauge everyone's attitude.

She originally thought that once the golden hairpin came out, Ye Jiner, the future daughter-in-law, would blush and be very willing.

Even if Ye Caiping was a little unhappy, Ye Jiner would protect Ye Peng.

Old Mrs. Ye would not object even more, because Ye Peng is their grandson. There is no such thing as breaking up the marriage of a grandson.

But now...things didn't go the way she expected...

Wei was at a loss for a moment and could only stammer, "Yes, I took the wrong one..."

Ye Peng clenched his hands tightly and stared at Ye Jiner blankly. Why didn't she say a word?

Ye Jin'er had a complicated expression and frowned.

Old Lady Ye saw the embarrassing situation and rubbed her eyebrows:

"Since you got the wrong one, don't give it to me. One or two things won't make a difference. It's enough for brothers and sisters to know that they are close to each other. There's no need to give gifts."

After saying that, he glared at Wei with a warning look.

Wei's face turned pale and he dared not say a word.

"I'm a little tired. I'll go back and rest first." Ye Caiping glanced at Wei, then took Ye Jin'er and Huan'er and left the main room.

......

Ye Caiping directly pulled her two daughters to Huan'er's room.

Because this room is far from the main room.

After closing the door, Ye Caiping looked at Jin'er seriously: "What's going on?"

Ye Jin'er was stunned, she still hasn't reacted.

Seeing this, Ye Huaner spoke hesitantly:

"Usually, my third cousin cares about me the most. But... he has always been very nice to us. Although I felt it was a little strange, I didn't think much about it. I just found out today..."

Ye Caiping took a breath and said, "Jin'er!"

The words were spoken coldly.

Ye Jin'er's face turned pale: "I... don't know what to say..."

Ye Caiping felt dizzy when she heard her words. Because of her hesitation and helplessness, it proved that there was something between her and Ye Peng.

Ye Jin'er looked at Ye Caiping's stern expression, feeling extremely ashamed and crying anxiously:

"Mom, I... wuwu..."

"Let me ask you one question. Do you like Ye Peng?"

Ye Jin'er clutched her sleeves tightly: "I, I don't know..."

Ye Caiping just felt dizzy.

She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

She has been busy with business this year and has indeed neglected her two daughters.

However, even if he ignored it, they were all under his nose. If Jin'er really fell in love with Ye Peng, it would be impossible for him to not notice it at all.

Think about the situation just now...

Ye Caiping calmed down a little and pulled Ye Jin to sit on the bed:

"Come here. I don't mean to blame you. You know me. I'm very open-minded. There's nothing I can't accept."

Nonsense, of course she can't accept it! They are cousins, which is impossible for her.

But now she had to calm Jin'er down and coax her into speaking clearly.

Ye Caiping said softly, "What's going on between you and your third cousin? Tell me and I'll check it out for you."

Ye Jin'er calmed down after hearing this: "He and I...he was very nice to me when I was at the Li family before."

"I am very grateful to him and I am very close to him. After we came back, my aunt and my first and second cousins ​​didn't like us, but my third cousin always cared about me..."

"Compared to my eldest and second cousins, I prefer to get along with him. It's quite relaxing to be with him..."

Ye Caiping took a breath and asked gently, "Then do you think about him every moment?"

"When you get something new and interesting, give it to him and share it with him right away?"

Ye Jiner: "Not really."

Ye Caiping breathed a sigh of relief. Jin'er must have developed some feelings for Ye Peng out of gratitude, but it had not yet reached the point of liking him.

Ye Jin'er said nervously: "So, I like him?"

She did feel that Ye Peng was closer to her, but she thought it was a relationship between brother and sister.

It was not until Ye Peng gave her the hairpin just now that she was shocked. Ye Peng actually proposed to her!

It was only after her mother's questioning that she realized whether she liked him or not.

"I can't say I like him, but I have a certain liking for him," said Ye Caiping.

She couldn't hide this matter and lie to Ye Jin'er that it was just a brother-sister relationship.

Ye Jiner will grow up and understand many things. I’m afraid that Ye Jiner will suddenly not be able to come to her senses in the future, and Ye Peng will become her white moonlight instead.

I can only break it down and explain it to her clearly.

Ye Caiping raised her eyebrows: "Then let me ask you. Do you want to marry him?"

“And then be with him every day.”

"Then your second aunt will be your mother-in-law."

Ye Jin'er's face twisted a little when she heard this: "I, I don't want it!"

She had a lot of things to do, and she didn't want to be with him every day. She always felt that this kind of life was not what she wanted.

And her second aunt is her mother-in-law?

That won’t work. Absolutely not.

Although her second aunt wasn't a bad person, she just couldn't like her.

Especially after the family became rich, my second aunt became more and more noisy.

Even though the family is rich and they know Yinhua has to go to school, they don't try to find a way to solve the problem.

What's wrong with spending money to buy or hire someone?

Yinhua had to go back to feed the pigs and chickens.

The second aunt also said that it was useless for girls to learn too many things, and she did not support Yinhua in learning anything.

If I really enter her house, won't she be under my control?

She is fine, why should she suffer this?

Ye Caiping raised her lips and said, "Hmph, you little bastard, I can't cure you!"

I had some feelings for him before, but now that she has revealed all the obstacles and realities between them, that feeling is gone.

Ye Caiping said, "Let me tell you something else. Cousins ​​cannot get married. If they do, there's a high chance they'll give birth to a fool."

Jin'er and Huan'er were shocked when they heard this.

Ye Jin'er asked: "Really?"

"Of course. You trust me."

The two daughters nodded without hesitation: "We believe in mother."

It was their mother who pulled them out of the quagmire step by step and helped them live a good life. Therefore, they have absolute trust in Ye Caiping.

Ye Caiping looked at Ye Jin'er: "Jin'er, what are you going to do now?"

Ye Jiner took a breath and said, "My third cousin and I will only have a brother-sister relationship from now on, just like my first cousin and second cousin."

The three words "giving birth to a fool" scared her a lot.

And let’s not talk about the fact that she gave birth to a fool, just think about Wei being her mother-in-law... It’s scary to think about it.

Also, ever since she went to Shen's house for classes, she felt that Ye Peng was a little silly and they couldn't talk to each other.

......

After Ye Caiping left, everyone in the room looked at each other in surprise.

Old Lady Ye stared at Wei and said, "Second Brother, what are you thinking?"

Mrs. Du, Jinhua, Ye Xuan, Ye Yong, and even Ye Daquan looked at Mrs. Wei in shock.

Wei's face changed drastically and he dared not say a word.

Ye Peng also had a pale face and stood there blankly.

Old Mrs. Ye was so angry that she almost threw the teacup at him: "Even if you don't tell me, I know what you are thinking! How could our family produce someone as evil-minded as you?"

Wei looked at Old Lady Ye in confusion: "I, what kind of evil heart do I have? Mother, how can you say that about me?"

Ye Erquan said: "What did I do that you don't know?"

"What do I know?" Wei felt so wronged.

"Okay, stop arguing, and talk it over." Old Man Ye shouted coldly, staring at Wei: "Second brother, what are you thinking? Tell me yourself."

Seeing that everyone had seen through it, Wei stopped hiding it and said directly, "What can I think? I just want to get married! This is a great event!"

"Wei Si Ya!" Ye Erquan roared: "You——"

"Second brother, don't interrupt. Let her speak first." Old man Ye glanced at him.

Ye Erquan pursed his lips and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth, but his chest heaved with anxiety.

Under the murderous gazes of Ye Daquan and Old Lady Ye, Wei took a deep breath:

"Mom and Dad, I don't know why you are so angry. I'm not stealing or robbing! I really want to marry Jin'er as my daughter-in-law."

"Think about it, Jin'er and Huan'er will eventually get married. Instead of looking for someone you don't know, it's better to find someone you know well."

"Peng'er and Jin'er have known each other since childhood. They know each other very well. What's wrong with this marriage?"

Old Mrs. Ye was so angry that she was twitching, but she held back her anger and said, "I don't agree."

"Why don't you agree? Which side are you on, mom? Are you on my side? Or on my side? What's the matter, do you look down on Peng'er so much?"

As she spoke, her eyes turned red and she felt extremely aggrieved:

"I know that Peng'er is not as good at studying as Xuan'er, and he is not a scholar, but he is also your grandson!"

Ye Peng also stared at Old Lady Ye blankly. Ye Jiner's indifference just now had already made him sad enough.

Now grandma still looks down on him...

At this moment, he felt embarrassed, awkward, and sad.

Old Lady Ye met Ye Peng's eyes, was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "That's not what I meant. Peng'er is naturally good."

"If it's good, then why can't he marry Jin'er?"

After these words were spoken, Mrs. Ye and her husband were speechless.

Why can’t I marry?

Of course I am not worthy of it!

But how could the old couple say such words in front of Ye Peng?

"I don't agree with this marriage." At this time, Ye Caiping and Ye Huaner walked out together.

When Wei saw that it was Ye Caiping, her face turned pale and blue: "Little sister, why don't you agree? Peng'er, you have watched him grow up, what's wrong with him?"

Ye Caiping wanted to laugh when she heard this. This is moral kidnapping! If you don't agree, it means Ye Peng is not good!

This second sister-in-law is becoming more and more complicated.

She used to think that her second sister-in-law was a mute and taciturn person, until they made more and more money, and Wei's true character was gradually released.

But she thinks that being stingy is fine, being miserly is okay, and taking advantage of small advantages is okay.

After all, human nature cannot be perfect, and it is normal for people to have shortcomings.

Who would have thought that the second sister-in-law would actually set her sights on Jin'er.

Ye Caiping said: "Peng'er is naturally good. But we are already relatives, there is no need to make it even closer."

Wei said anxiously, "It's not for the purpose of strengthening the relationship. Well... it's mainly to know each other's background! It's a big deal for a woman to get married. If she marries well, she will enjoy a lifetime of happiness. If she marries badly, she will suffer endlessly."

"When Jin'er gets married in the future, the couple will be under your watch. And he's your nephew, you don't know his character yet."

Ye Caiping's expression was slightly cold: "Second sister-in-law, can't you tell the difference between good and bad words?"

She said so much that anyone could hear that she was refusing. This was giving Wei a way out. Let her quit while she is ahead.

Wei's face changed, she must have heard it.

But things have come to this point, if she doesn't fight for it, then the matter is over! No chance!

"If not my Peng'er, who do you want Jin'er to marry? Someone who is a high-ranking official? Aren't you just being scornful of the poor and loving the rich? What's wrong? Do you despise our family for being poor?"

Ye Caiping's expression turned cold: "Why, Second Sister-in-law doesn't care about the poor and loves the rich? Then why not let Peng'er marry a beggar girl?"

Wei was speechless: "That, that's naturally not possible... The reason why I want to marry Jin'er as my daughter-in-law is naturally because Peng'er and Jin'er are truly in love."

Ye Caiping snorted coldly: "Don't talk nonsense. Jin'er doesn't like Peng'er at all. Besides, as a mother, I can't decide my daughter's marriage?"

"You, you..." Wei was furious. "Parents can naturally decide their children's marriage, but since they love each other, they naturally have to support them."

"Just like Yong'er and Xiuxiu at that time, how difficult it was for them. Everyone opposed it, but didn't they agree in the end? Why can't Jin'er and Peng'er do the same?"

"What's the matter? Little sister, you are such a smart and capable person, but you are not as good as the eldest sister-in-law?"

"If my little sister really loves Jin'er, then let Jin'er speak out! See what she thinks of my Peng'er."

Ye Caiping said with a gloomy face: "I see that my second sister-in-law doesn't want to eat anymore, so please go back first!"

Today is Jin'er's birthday, and she wants Jin'er to spend the day happily.
