Chapter 431: United Against the "Outside"

Ye Caiping and others were eager to go home, so after dinner, they immediately took a carriage to rush home.

Soon, they returned to the village.

As soon as the villagers saw the convoy, they knew that Ye Caiping had returned, and they slowly ran over to watch the excitement: "Caiping is back!"

Ye Caiping looked at the familiar faces and greeted them with a smile.

When the carriage stopped in front of the gate, a circle of villagers had already gathered there.

Mrs. Zhao jumped forward and said, "Oh my god, I finally got you back, Caiping. Ever since you left, I don't know why, but I always felt that this whole area had become boring."

The corners of Ye Caiping's mouth twitched slightly. That was because Li Zhiyuan's family had already been ruined by her, so nothing terrible happened.

Ye Caiping smiled and said, "Thank you, fellow villagers. We have prepared some small gifts and will send them to you later."

Mrs. Zhao and the other villagers were delighted: "Okay, thank you Caiping."

Ye Caiping chatted with them for a while, and then the villagers dispersed.

Ye Jin'er suddenly asked, "Hey, why do I feel like the house has gotten bigger?"

Old Lady Ye smiled and said, "Before your mother left, she gave us a blueprint and asked us to find someone to cover it."

Ye Caiping coughed dryly and said, "Isn't this a marriage?"

She wanted to spend more time with her parents in the limited time she had, and the house was too small for them, so she asked for an enlarged one.

Ye Caiping said, "Come in, take a look and see if you like it."

The group walked into the house.

The original courtyard had two entrances, but two more were added to it, making it a courtyard with four entrances. The right side was widened and extended to the east wing. (Won’t describe, as shown below)

The three girls were delighted and delighted.

Shen Manman’s eyes lit up: “Can I live here too?”

Ye Caiping smiled, "Of course. Because we are pressed for time, we only added the east wing. We will add the west wing next year. Then we can give each of you three a yard."

The construction of this house started a few days after they left Beijing. The work was stopped for a month in the first month of the lunar year and resumed in February. The construction time was tight, so only the east span and the back were added.

Fortunately, I have money, so as long as I am willing to spend money to hire someone, time is not a problem.

Ye Caiping said, "You three girls, how are you going to live? Do you want to live together in the third courtyard, or do you want one of you to live in the first courtyard on the east side?"

Shen Manman said: “We should live together, it will be lively.”

Jin'er and Huan'er also nodded quickly.

Ye Caiping touched her head: "Anything is fine."

Ye Jin'er asked, "Have we moved all our things over there?"

Old Mrs. Ye: "No, they are still here. It depends on how you allocate the rooms."

The three girls gathered together excitedly to discuss the allocation of rooms. Finally, they were divided by age: Chen Manman lived in the north room on the left, Jin'er lived in the right room, and Huan'er lived in the east wing.

Ye Caiping yawned.

Shen Zhiyan looked at her: "Are you tired? Go back to your room and rest first."

Ye Caiping nodded.

Just as Shen Zhiyan was about to pull her hand, Old Man Ye coughed dryly, "Son-in-law... Although you have already gotten married in the capital, you haven't held a wedding banquet here yet. Manman stays here, and you go back to town first. You can only meet after the twenty-second, hahaha."

Shen Zhiyan’s handsome face stiffened slightly.

Ye Daquan's eyes lit up: "Dad is right!"

A smile flashed across Ye Caiping's eyes: "Well... that makes sense."

Really...she has been scared of him during this period of time.

Shen Manman’s eyes also lit up: “This is the rule in the village, Dad, go back to town first.”

I thought that after my parents got married, I would be able to be with my mother every day.

As a result, after marriage they hid from people every day.

She wanted to find Ye Caiping to be close to her but it was impossible.

Now that she finally had the chance to kick out her black-hearted father, Shen Manman was delighted.

Ye Caiping, Jin'er Huan'er, Manman, Old Man Ye and everyone else were all looking at him "outwardly".

Shen Zhiyan: “…”

Finally, Shen Zhiyan took Duanwu and other servants of the Shen family and left on horseback, looking back every few steps.

In the evening, Ye Caiping and her whole family gathered together to have a belated reunion dinner.

Ye Caiping missed Shen Zhiyan.

After thinking about it, he packed a few dishes and asked the maid to send them to Shen Zhiyan.

Ye Er's whole family——

Ye Erquan and Yinhua both went to Ye Caiping's house for dinner.

Mr. and Mrs. Wei and Ye Peng could not go.

At the dinner table, Wei kept on nagging: "What's so great about her...she, she...humph!"

She wanted to scold Ye Caiping for not being as good as them, but after racking her brains, she couldn't think of any way in which Ye Caiping was inferior to her family.

Wei was extremely angry: "You are so petty. You still remember such a small thing."

Ye Peng was not in a good mood either. Whenever he thought about Ye Jin'er's happy life, he felt uncomfortable.

Their only hope is Wei Xiaojuan's belly.

As long as Wei Xiaojuan can give birth to a boy and the eldest grandson of their Ye family, they can breathe a sigh of relief.

......

In the evening, Ye Caiping had just finished washing up and was lying on the bed.

Chang Xi came in with a letter: "Madam, a letter from the master."

Ye Caiping took it and opened it.

Inside was Shen Zhiyan’s familiar handwriting, which said that the food was very good and he ate it all.

Then comes a poem.

After reading it, Ye Caiping felt very sweet in her heart. He is indeed a great scholar with so much knowledge that he can't use it all!

Whether in the capital or on the boat, even if they were together every day, he would write a poem for her every day.

Ye Caiping quickly wrote a letter, praising him a few words, and asked Chang Xi to deliver it the next morning.

The next day, the Shen family——

Shen Zhiyan got out of bed with dark circles under his eyes, and felt something was wrong with his whole body.

The old man, who had been hungry for a long time, finally had some good meat to eat for a while, but it was suddenly gone.

Accustomed to holding the warm and soft beauty in my arms, I have a good sleep every night. Now I can't sleep alone, it's so uncomfortable.

It was not until I received Ye Caiping's reply that I felt better again. I wrote another letter to Ye Caiping and handed it to Duanwu:

"After delivering the letter to Madam, go find those three girls and that brat Ye Xuan. The holiday is over. Come to class tomorrow morning!"

"Yes." Duanwu shuddered and immediately straightened up.

......

Qinghe Village——

At this time, Ye Caiping was sitting in the outer hall reconciling accounts with Ye Lizheng, Wang Shuantou, Ye Daquan, Ye Erquan and Ye Ershu, a group of furniture workshop owners.

Ye Lizheng handed a stack of account books and banknotes to Ye Caiping: "The accounts from November last year to February this year are all here."

Ye Caiping took it and was very satisfied looking at the turnover.

During the time she was away, the furniture workshop's sales did not drop and remained stable, with a net profit of more than 5,000 taels every month. In December, due to the Chinese New Year, the net profit reached more than 6,700 taels.

Ye Caiping asked, "Hey, you haven't split the bills in the past few months?"

Ye Lizheng said, "Didn't we divide the grain once last October? That time, Youliang and I got more than 200 taels, which was enough for us to have a good year, and there was even some left. So we wanted to wait for you to come back before dividing it."

Although Jin'er and Huan'er have changed their names, the article is about to end and the author has gotten used to using them. When typing, he still calls them Ye Jin'er and Ye Huan'er, otherwise he will often make mistakes. As long as everyone knows the change, it's fine.
