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 6: What a great name
Ye Caiping and her group of 11 people, sitting on two ox carts, slowly left.
Qinghe Village and Lijia Village are neither close nor far.
The two villages are diagonally opposite each other across a large river, but it takes four miles to find a bridge. After crossing the bridge, you have to walk back five miles to reach Lijia Village, which is almost ten miles in total.
Thinking that Ye Caiping was injured, Ye Lizheng used a ox cart.
One of the ox carts belongs to Ye Lizheng's family, and the other one was borrowed from the neighboring village.
"The more I think about it, the more unwilling I feel!" Ye Erquan said angrily on the ox cart, "How can they just divorce whenever they want? At least they should be compensated with 10 or 8 taels of silver!"
Ye Caiping said nothing. She was not one who wanted to suffer any loss.
But the original owner's previous bad reputation and stupidity put them in an absolutely disadvantageous position.
In addition, Mrs. Li really had a broken leg, and there were also so-called neighbors who testified. Everyone in Lijia Village stood on Li Zhiyuan's side, so divorce was a sure thing.
Even if you take the case to the government, you won't win the case, let alone get money.
Don't think about changing the divorce to a divorce. Given her situation, what's the difference between a divorce and a divorce?
And it can't be changed at all.
Instead of spending this free time, you might as well think about how to make money more realistically.
Ye Caiping said: "I am already very satisfied to have the two girls back. Some things are over and done with."
Old Lady Ye nodded: "Cai Ping is right. Er Quan, please don't make things worse."
The people on the ox cart agreed very much and talked to Ye Erquan at the same time.
Ye Erquan scratched his head and dared not say anything.
Old Man Ye smiled, "Since Zhaodi and his sister have come to our Ye family, they have to change their surnames. I gave them a new name. Caiping, listen to it, is it okay?"
"Dad, you say." Ye Caiping narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"The eldest daughter's name is Jinhua, and the second daughter's name is Yinhua. I've been thinking about it all night, and Zhaodi will be called Cuihua from now on, and Laidi will be called Ruhua. What do you think?"
Cuihua? flowery? ! Ye Caiping was struck by lightning and was completely stunned.
"Oh my goodness, uncle is so good at naming!" Aunt Ye praised.
"What a good name!" Ye Lizheng also praised.
Old man Ye was flattered by the praise and looked very proud.
Zhaodi and Laidi were delighted. Zhaodi said, "Grandpa, I like this name very much..."
"No!" Ye Caiping interrupted hurriedly, forcing a smile and saying, "Dad, actually, actually... I've been thinking about it all night and have already come up with names for them. That..."
Ye Caiping hates it!
I was so excited about space last night that I delayed this matter.
I originally wanted to wait until the two girls came back before thinking about it slowly, but I didn't expect her father to be so impatient!
Old Man Ye and everyone in the car looked at her curiously.
"Well... I thought... I hope they will have a bright future and be happy every day, so I named them... Jin'er and Huan'er. Yes, Zhaodi will be called Ye Jin'er from now on, and Laidi will be called Huan'er."
After Ye Caiping finished speaking, she couldn't help but think about it.
Ye Jiner, Ye Huaner, these casually picked names are actually quite good.
It is not complicated, does not have deep meaning, is neither elegant nor vulgar, but simple and direct, which suits them very well.
Ye Erquan immediately showed his dog-licking nature: "Jin'er and Huan'er, your name is a good one."
Old Lady Ye also said: "I think it's better than the old man's."
Old Man Ye had a stern face, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes: "Okay, it's indeed better than what I gave you. From now on, you will be called Ye Jin'er and Ye Huan'er. They are the girls of our old Ye family."
Old Man Ye has already thought it through.
Three months later, the daughter remarried, and the two girls stayed in the Ye family and did not follow her over, so they would not suffer any grievances.
It's just a matter of working harder and preparing two more dowries.
Freshly-made Ye Jin'er and Ye Huan'er's eyes were red: "Thank you, mother, thank you, grandpa and grandma."
They knew what the two names Zhaodi and Laidi meant.
Although they also hope to give their mother a younger brother, they still feel a little uncomfortable deep down.
Now that they have changed their names, the two sisters feel a sense of relief and enlightenment.
Their grandparents have always been very kind to them. They are not afraid of working, but they are afraid that if they stay in the Li family, they will be sold by their grandmother for money.
Moreover, their mother was unusually gentle today, which warmed their hearts and made them look forward to their future life even more.
After walking for quarter of an hour, the ox cart stopped in front of the old gate of the Ye family.
After several people got off the car, Old Man Ye said, "Village head, Second brother, and Tieniu's wife and Zhuzi's wife, thank you for today. Let's have lunch at our house!"
Ye Lizheng waved his hand: "No need, the meal is ready at home."
Uncle Ye and others also refused. This food is so precious!
This year there have been continuous disasters, including drought and locust plagues. The autumn harvest this time is less than half of that in previous years. In this year, every family has to eat coarse food and tighten their belts to make ends meet.
After Ye Lizheng finished speaking, he and Ye Ershu and others led the cows away.
Mrs. Du, Mrs. Wei and others heard the noise and came out. When they saw Ye Jiner and her sister, they couldn't help but be surprised. They were actually coming back?
Wei said hurriedly, "Yinhua and I will clean up the west room."
Ye Caiping said, "No need, Jin'er and the others will live with me."
The original owner was spoiled. Whenever she returned to her parents' home, she had to have her own room. The two daughters were thrown into the west room, squeezed in with other girls.
"Jin'er?" Wei noticed the unfamiliar name.
"Zhao Di and Lai Di have changed their names. From now on, they will be called Ye Jin'er and Ye Huan'er."
Sister Ye Jin'er hurried forward and greeted them in a low voice: "Hello, aunt, cousin, cousins."
Wei responded woodenly, while Du pursed her lips and said nothing.
Ye Caiping took her two daughters back to her room.
She always had her own room in her parents' home, and even after she got married, the room was kept.
The Ye family's house is an ordinary farmhouse.
There are three rooms side by side on the north side. Old Man Ye and his wife live on the left, Ye Caiping lives on the right, and the middle is the main room.
The east wing also has three rooms, where Ye Daquan and his wife, and Ye Erquan and his wife live. Brothers Ye Yong, Ye Xuan and Ye Peng live in the same room.
The west side was divided into six areas. One was a room filled with gold and silver flowers, and next to it were the kitchen, a shed for firewood and farm tools, a toilet, a chicken coop, and a pigpen.
There is a vegetable patch behind the house where commonly eaten vegetables are grown.
The yard is small, barely big enough for living.
Ye Caiping and her daughter put the clothes into the closet.
This was her room before she got married. It was fully equipped with a bed, wardrobe, and chest of drawers.
Because there are no extra quilts, we can't put up another bed, so now the three of us, mother and daughter, have to squeeze together. Fortunately, the bed is not small, it is 1.5 meters long.
"Mom, does the wound on your head hurt?" Ye Jin'er looked at Ye Caiping's head wrapped in a cloth with concern.
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Ye Caiping smiled.
I don’t know if it’s because she came here, but the wound on her head has healed a lot. It’s just a little damaged, but it will heal after applying medicine for two more days.
"Let's go out and see if there's anything we can do to help."
As the mother and her two daughters left the room, they saw Ye Daquan walking into the door carrying a large sack.
Seeing Ye Jin'er and her sister, Ye Daquan immediately smiled happily: "Zhao Di, Laidi, you really came to our house!"
"Uncle!" The two girls hurried over. Ye Jin'er said, "We changed our names. My name is Jin'er and my sister's name is Huan'er. Mother gave us these names."
"Hehehe, my little sister is good at giving names. They sound nice."
