Mrs. Ye hurried to Ye Juaner's house, and was immediately met with a little crying girl with red eyes.

Ye Xianglei followed Qingtian out of the yard, and when he saw Sister Ye, he quickly spoke up to prove his innocence, "Sister-in-law, I didn't make Qingtian cry.

"I said I wanted to take her home, but she refused and insisted on waiting here for you to come."

Mrs. Ye picked up Qingtian and said embarrassedly, "I'm so sorry, I was delayed by something at home."

After she finished speaking, she reached out and wiped the tears from Qingtian's cheeks, and said softly, "Mom is late. It's all my fault. Qingtian, don't cry anymore."

Qingtian seemed to feel a little embarrassed himself and turned his head away to avoid being seen by Mrs. Ye.

She wiped her cheeks with her little hands, as if she wanted to destroy the evidence of her crying.

But the result looked more like a kitten washing its face, which made Mrs. Ye and Ye Xianglei burst out laughing.

"Okay, say goodbye to my uncle, and let's go home for dinner."

Qingtian waved his hand obediently: "Goodbye, Xiao Su."

Mrs. Ye returned home holding Qingtian. As soon as she stepped into the east wing, she subconsciously turned her head to look at the door opposite.

I found that the copper lock that was hanging there before I left was now gone.

The sound of Ye Lao Er and Ye Ersao talking in low voices could be heard in the room.

Although I couldn't hear what they were saying, they were definitely not arguing.

Mrs. Ye carried Qingtian into her house and raised her eyebrows at Boss Ye.

Boss Ye understood what she meant and said with a smile, "I just scolded the second son and will go back to apologize to his wife."

"That's more like it. I see the lock has been taken off too? Was it the second brother who took it off, or..."

"The second son's wife picked it. She has always been sensible over the years. If the second son wasn't so dumb and couldn't speak, he wouldn't have made people so angry just now."

"That's right!" Mrs. Ye put Qingtian on the kang and asked her to sit down. She bent down and took off her shoes while saying, "If you ask me, the lock that the second son's wife used was originally bought to lock the box.

"The reason I hung it on the door as soon as I came back was just because I was angry with the fourth son's wife.

"But the second brother came back and said a few words, which made people even more angry. How could they not quarrel?

"Look at it now. After admitting his mistake, he took it off himself."

Boss Ye nodded without saying anything.

Mrs. Ye asked again, "Didn't the second and third sons go to Uncle Dongkui's house this afternoon? How did the discussion go? When can we let the third son go to the city to learn carpentry?"

"He said he would go as soon as the rain stopped. Uncle Donghuai is not young anymore and has chronic rheumatoid arthritis. These past few days of cloudy and cold weather have been the worst for him.

"The second and fourth children also want to go out and try their luck, so I thought I'd tell Mom about it when we have dinner tonight.

"If mother agrees, let them go. If not, we'll talk later."

"You know that going out to make money is a good thing, why wouldn't mother agree?"

"There's no problem with the second son, but the fourth son's wife is pregnant now, so mother might let him stay and take care of her.

"Besides, this is his wife's first child, and she may not be willing to let him go out."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ye smiled and said, "If you think so, then you're thinking the opposite.

"Mom must want the fourth child to go out to work. It would be best if he could find a job that provides food and shelter and allows him to work until the end of the year."

"Why?" Boss Ye was puzzled.

"Is that even a question?" Sister Ye lowered her voice and said, "Mother wants to deal with the fourth son's wife, even though she wants to do it while the fourth son is not at home."

Only then did Boss Ye understand what he meant.

"As for the fourth son's wife, she definitely wants him to go out and make money rather than having him stay with her.

"They've only been married a short time, don't have much money, and don't have any special skills. If they don't go out and earn money, are they going to starve with their child in the future?"

Ye Lao Da was speechless after being asked by his wife. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Actually, I originally wanted to take Lao Si into the mountains with me. Firstly, he can keep me company, and secondly, I can teach him how to hunt..."

Mrs. Ye stopped her immediately and said, "Just think about it, but don't say it out loud.

"No matter how stupid you are, you should have seen clearly what kind of person the fourth son's wife is along the way.

"From now on, when it comes to money, you must not get involved with them. Even brothers have to settle accounts!"

After Ye Dasao finished speaking, she didn't hear Ye Da Ge's reply, and thought he disagreed with what she said, so she immediately explained: "I'm not saying that we won't help the fourth brother in the future. We still have to help him if we need to.

"But looking at the fourth son's wife like that, we really can't afford to offend her.

"Let me put it this way. You're so kind as to take the fourth child up the mountain to hunt. When the game is over, will the spoils belong to you or will you split it equally?

"If it happened once or twice, it would be fine, but look at the fourth son's wife, does she look like someone who would keep quiet?

"If you help the fourth brother, his wife will be able to confuse right and wrong and say that you bullied her and the fourth brother. She will try every possible way to get more money out of you."

Boss Ye had thought too superficially before, but after listening to what Sister Ye said, he almost broke out in a cold sweat.

He just thought that Ye Laosi had no special skills, and he was also afraid that if he really went to work in the city, it would be too far away from home, and he might not be able to take care of Guo if something happened.

At this point, Boss Ye could only be thankful that he had only thought about these things in his mind and had not had the chance to tell Ye Lao Si.

Otherwise, if you speak too hastily and too early, you don’t know how it will end.

Three days later, the rain that had been falling for so many days finally stopped.
