Chapter 50 Debt-Free

Because of Manager Fang’s “informing”, Old Mrs. Ye was worried all the way back.

She was already frightened by those imitators a while ago, and now a behemoth like Baiweilou has personally taken action, who knows what the result will be.

Old Mrs. Ye couldn't help but look at Ye Caiping, only to see her talking to two maids. She didn't know what they were talking about, but they were laughing happily.

Forget it, my daughter has a plan, so she won’t say much.

After returning home, Ye Caiping went into the room immediately, closed the door, and started counting.

After adding what she earned today and deducting some expenses such as wages and fares, she only had 15 taels in her hand.

Ye Caiping has made a decision.

After she left the room, she went to the kitchen and started making spicy soup.

After a while, the aroma of Hu La Tang wafted out.

Old Lady Ye came over following the smell and asked: "Are we having spicy soup for lunch?"

"no."

Ye Caiping smiled, then found three large ceramic basins and poured the spicy soup into them: "Let's go find the village head uncle."

Old Lady Ye thought about it and understood, and said with a smile: "That's right, it's time to pay it back."

Ye Caiping carried a bowl of spicy soup and went to the headman's house with Old Lady Ye.

When we arrived, Ye Lizheng's family of five were having dinner.

"Oh, sister-in-law and Caiping are here, please sit down and eat together." The headman's wife stood up quickly.

"No, we'll eat soon." Old Mrs. Ye declined with a smile.

Ye Caiping came forward with the spicy soup:

"Everyone knows that I'm selling spicy soup these days, but I haven't invited you guys to try it. I'll make a pot of it specially for you guys to try."

Ye Lizheng was about to say something polite, but he was stunned and couldn't say anything. He just smiled and said, "Oh, this...haha!"

The village head's wife smiled with her teeth showing: "Then we won't be so formal with you."

Ye Bajin and his wife were so happy that they could only grin.

Eight-year-old Ye Fubao was almost drooling at the smell, but he was very well behaved and didn't dare to move.

After Ye Caiping put the spicy soup on the table, she took out five taels of silver and stuffed it into the hands of the village head's wife:

"This is the five taels of silver that our family owes. Today we finally got it together."

Ye Lizheng was startled: "This..."

Thinking about what Ye Caiping has been doing recently, digging cassava and doing business, I heard from Bajin that her business is booming.

Ye Lizheng stopped saying polite words and said with a smile, "Then I'll accept it. Caiping is becoming more and more promising."

"It's all thanks to the tolerance of my parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, and the help of you, the village head."

Ye Bajin felt ashamed: "Sister Caiping has paid back so much money. I can't charge you for making spicy soup anymore."

Ye Lizheng and his wife, Bajin's wife: "..."

Ye Caiping laughed angrily: "What a fool. It's only right for me to pay back the money, but you still have to collect the money for the delivery. One thing is one thing. I have something to tell you later, let's go back first."

Ye Bajin was confused. What did he want to do with him?

Ye Caiping and the other person talked to the head of the village and his wife for a few words and then left.

When he got home, he brought another pot of spicy soup to Doctor Zhao's house.

Doctor Zhao was so happy to get back the two taels of debt that he owed him that he couldn't stop smiling.

Unexpectedly, in just over half a month, the Ye family paid off all the debts.

After tasting the spicy soup again, he widened his eyes and said, "Your spicy soup is amazing. It's good for the body."

Ye Caiping smiled and said, "Yes, it warms the middle and dispels coldness, and is especially suitable for people with cold stomachs and cold bodies."

After returning from Doctor Zhao, I went to Uncle Ye’s house.

Uncle Ye’s family has the largest pot of spicy soup because there are so many people.

Uncle Ye has four children, a daughter and three sons.

The daughter is married, and the three sons are named Sanquan, Siquan and Wuquan. It is arranged according to the complete second list.

Sanquan is Ye Caiping's cousin, Siquan and Wuquan are her cousins.

As soon as Ye Caiping entered the door and put down the spicy soup, she was surrounded by a group of children, who were calling out to her.

The noise made Ye Caiping's head buzz so much that she thought she had entered a pigeon coop.

He quickly took out the candy he had prepared in advance and said, "Come on, line up and share the candy!"

"Ye Xing, Ye Wang, Ye Feng, hold on." These are Ye Sanquan's children, aged 10, 8 and 6 respectively.

"Yeji, Yexiang, Xiaohua, Xiaocao. This is yours."

This is Ye Siquan’s baby. They are 8, 7, 5 and 2 years old respectively.

Fortunately, Ye Wuquan is not married yet, otherwise it would be even more lively.

After distributing the candy, Ye Caiping finally got away from the group of children.

Looking at a group of kids laughing and shouting while eating candies, she couldn't help but smile.

After paying the money and walking out of Uncle Ye's house, Ye Caiping couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It feels so free to be debt-free!

…

When the mother and daughter returned home, Wei had already cooked.

Today I had brown rice with cassava chips, and the side dishes were pickled vegetables, spicy oil and stir-fried cabbage.

Although Ye Caiping made money and Old Lady Ye also had income, the food at home was still so light.

Ye Caiping would occasionally buy some meat to satisfy her hunger. Ye Daquan and others were already very satisfied with this kind of life.

After dinner, Ye Caiping said, "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Second Brother, I have something to discuss with you today."

Old Mrs. Ye paused while picking her teeth. Could it be that her daughter had come to her senses and wanted to sell the son?

Everyone in the family straightened their backs when they heard Old Lady Ye nagging about Baiweilou.

Mrs. Du said, "What's up, little sister, have you considered selling your house? That's right, if you have a hundred taels in hand, you don't even need to set up a stall."

Wei looked at Ye Caiping with envy, one hundred taels! With this money, you won’t have to work for the rest of your life.

"No." Ye Caiping smiled and said, "I want to make a few more buckets of this spicy soup every day."

Old Lady Ye was startled. "This... won't work. Three buckets a day is just right. At worst, we can make one more bucket. Too much, the town can't eat it all."

"Not in town. I want to open a stall in the county town."

"The county town?" Everyone in the Ye family looked at her. Old Man Ye nodded and said, "It's not a bad idea to move to the county town. After all, there is Baiweilou in the town."

"It's not because of Baiweilou. What I mean is, we should set up stalls at both ends. We should continue to set up stalls in the town and then set up another stall in the county town."

Mrs. Ye and her husband looked at each other and decided that it would be good to earn some more money before the soup from Baiweilou came out.

Ye Daquan said: "But we don't have enough manpower!"

"So I want to ask my elder and second brothers for help, just like mother, thirty cents a day."
