During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
Mrs. Ye turned her head and saw that in just over ten days, Ye Laosi had lost a lot of weight.
His originally strong body now looked a little thin.
I had never lost this much weight when I was fleeing from famine before.
Mrs. Ye's eyes turned red instantly.
Ye Laosi knew that his sister-in-law felt sorry for him, but he was a grown man and had already started a family, so it was impossible for him to act like a child anymore.
He suppressed the bitterness in his heart and handed over the pheasant in his hand, saying, "I just caught it today. It's very fat. It's better to use a fresh one to entertain guests tonight."
"Okay." Mrs. Ye took the pheasant handed to her by Ye Lao Si, and saw his hands full of wounds, she felt sad again.
Ye Lao Si used to follow Ye Lao Da up the mountain, but recently he has been going to the mountains every day, and he must have suffered a lot.
Although this is what men should be like, they can only grow after suffering.
But when the three sisters-in-law thought that the reason why Ye Lao Si suddenly fought so hard was because he was provoked by his wife, they felt uncomfortable.
"Alright, go back and wash your face, change clothes and rest for a while." Ye Ersao said as she chased him out. Just as she chased him away, she quickly chased him out again, saying, "The guests are in the west room. Don't go there to change clothes."
"Then I..." Ye Laosi frowned. He didn't want to go back to his room at all. "My clothes are all on the kang in the west room!"
"When did you move in..." Ye Ersao was speechless. After thinking for a while, she said, "How about this, you go to my house first. I'll ask Changrui to bring you some clothes."
Sister Ye listened to the conversation outside, sighed and said to Sister Ye San: "What do you think is going on?"
Mrs. Ye San also shook her head. She felt it was ashamed to be a sister-in-law with such a person, let alone Mr. Ye Si. How aggrieved she must be!
"Dad was really wrong back then, why did he arrange such a marriage for the fourth child?
"The same goes for the fourth son's wife. Isn't the fourth son good enough to her?"
"Can't she tell her mother what she wants to eat? When has she ever been fed up with her food at home?
"For a few bites of food, she flirts with other men, and instead of feeling ashamed, she's proud of it. How dare she say that!"
Seeing Second Sister-in-law Ye turning around and coming back, Third Sister-in-law Ye said quickly, "Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law, why didn't you go to the city to inform us when such a big thing happened?
"If Young Master Qin hadn't wanted to come visit us and come back so suddenly, we wouldn't have known about it!"
"Alas, after mother became ill from anger, I wanted your second brother to go to the city to look for you. Even if he couldn't find you two, he could at least find the third brother's carpentry workshop.
"It's Mom who won't let me! She insisted that she was fine and that she couldn't delay you from making money.
"Later, we asked Doctor Gu to come and take Mom's pulse. He said she was just having a momentary bout of anger and that it wasn't serious. That's why your second brother and I didn't go to the city to look for you."
"So she won't make a fuss even if she's locked up like this now?"
"Why aren't they making noise? They've been making noise day and night for the past two days, and the whole family couldn't sleep.
"Later, seeing that the fourth child was determined this time, she couldn't make a fuss anymore, so she finally settled down."
"It won't be a big deal after a long time!" Mrs. Ye sighed.
"I asked the second son to ask the fourth son, and he said we should wait until mom gets better and everything will be up to mom's arrangement."
"What's Mother going to do about the couple's affairs?" Mrs. Ye shook her head. "Mother said if he can just reconcile and move on, the knot in his heart will be over. What's that?"
After hearing what Ye Dasao said, Ye Ersao and Ye Sansao were both shocked.
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean? Can you fix someone?"
Firstly, they were not caught in bed together, and secondly, Guo was pregnant with Ye Laosi's child, which did not comply with the seven grounds for divorce!
"Stop talking nonsense, I don't mean that." Mrs. Ye was also shocked by this. "I just think that it's time for the fourth child to start making his own decisions."
At this moment, Ye Laoer finally came back with the vegetables.
In order to change the subject, Third Sister Ye teased, "Second Brother, Second Sister asked you to go buy some vegetables. Look how long you've been gone. If someone didn't know you, they'd think you were planting vegetables!"
Ye Lao Er said aggrievedly: "I'm already fast enough. Fortunately, I have a mule cart. Otherwise, it would be impossible to return so quickly after going to the neighboring village to buy vegetables."
"Neighboring village?" Mrs. Ye was stunned for a moment before she reacted.
That’s right. The fourth son’s wife offended the owner of the grocery store. People came to the door and cursed her. How could she go shopping? She had to go to the neighboring village!
"Oh, you see, this is what happened!" Mrs. Ye sighed, took the vegetables from Old Man Ye's hand, and went to wash them silently.
Mrs. Ye said helplessly, "Alright, hurry up and cook first. We still have guests to entertain!"
Because of the limited ingredients at home, Mrs. Ye only managed to make six dishes by patching them together.
Scallion shreds mixed with dried tofu, fried small salted fish, stir-fried shredded potatoes, bacon, cabbage and tofu pot, pheasant stewed with mushrooms and stir-fried rabbit meat.
The others are just to make up the numbers, the last two are the real dishes.
Mrs. Ye also remembered that Mr. Wei loved the chicken stewed with mushrooms that she made. This time, she used pheasant, so the taste would definitely be even more delicious.
As for stir-fried rabbit meat, if she remembered correctly, Mrs. Qin had said before that Qin Hexuan liked it very much.
Sure enough, after the dishes were served, Qin Hexuan and Mr. Wei looked very satisfied.
There were two tables for dinner in the evening. Qin Hexuan and Mr. Wei were naturally the guests of honor. They sat in the main hall, accompanied by the Ye brothers.
Because Qin Hexuan was there, Ye Changrui was called to the adults' table to eat together as an exception, which made him feel flattered.
But Qin Hexuan said, "I'd better go inside to eat, so as not to spoil your mood for drinking."
