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...
Soon, the driver came back with his men.
There are people in the capital who specialize in this industry, so there is no need to say much. They just pulled the coffin and shroud together.
Mrs. Ye was soft-hearted and did not ask anyone else to do it for her. She helped Guo change into her funeral clothes with her own hands.
Ye Laosi stood aside and watched, his eyes frighteningly red but without a single tear.
Boss Ye was afraid that he would become ill from holding it in, so he stepped forward and patted his shoulder and said, "Fourth Brother, if you want to cry, just cry. No one will laugh at you."
Ye Laosi shook his head and said nothing.
Until the people who came to transport the corpse put Guo into the coffin and prepared to seal it.
Ye Lao Si suddenly called out softly: "Wait!"
Everyone stopped and looked at him.
Ye Laosi took a few steps forward to the side of the coffin and took out a silver hairpin from his arms.
He had saved money from hunting and selling game in the mountains recently to buy this. He had originally intended to give Guo a surprise, but unfortunately...
Ye Lao Si placed the silver hairpin into the coffin and said in a hoarse voice, "Seal the coffin!"
Nanny Jiang saw it and wanted to remind her, but in the end she sighed and said nothing.
With so many people watching, if I put a silver hairpin in, it would probably be stolen by the people who were burying the body once I left the city gate.
But then I thought about it again, this hairpin was actually put there by Ye Laosi to stop me from thinking about it.
As for where he will go in the future, it doesn’t matter as long as he doesn’t know.
It's not a bad deal to spend a tael of silver to feel at ease.
After the coffin was sealed with a few long nails, Guo was taken away by a car.
Boss Ye turned around and thanked Nanny Jiang, and Boss Ye also bowed in greeting.
"It's almost time for lunch, so we should go back," said Nanny Jiang.
"We'll go back and pick up Qingtian and leave. We absolutely dare not trouble your house again."
"It's already this late. If you're not hungry, then the child must be. Maybe Qingtian has already eaten with the young master."
Nanny Jiang said this and asked everyone to get in the car and return to the Qin Mansion.
Mrs. Ye's mind was full of Guo's affairs the whole morning, and she hardly thought about her daughter. She was now filled with guilt.
But when I returned to the Qin Mansion, I found out that Qingtian had not only eaten lunch, but was taking a nap.
"Thank you, Young Master Qin. I'm sorry for the trouble. Did Qingtian come looking for mother?"
"No, she's very well behaved." Qin Hexuan took out a piece of paper with Qingtian's name written all over it and showed it to Mrs. Ye. "I just taught her to write her name this morning, and she remembered it already."
When Mrs. Ye heard that her daughter hadn't looked for her the whole morning, she felt an indescribable sense of loss.
But when he heard Qin Hexuan say that Qingtian could write, he immediately became energetic again.
Although she herself could not read, she thought the crooked words on the paper looked beautiful no matter how she looked at them.
Qin Hexuan said: "Qingtian is really smart, and can even be said to be the smartest child I have ever met.
"You may not know this, but this morning when we were having breakfast we met a Mongolian. Her maid spoke a few words in Mongolian, but no one could understand.
"But even though Qingtian didn't understand it, he was able to repeat it all after returning, and it was soon translated by someone in the mansion who knew Mongolian."
Mrs. Ye originally planned to let Qingtian learn to read and write. After hearing what Qin Hexuan said, this idea became clearer in her mind.
"Don't worry, Young Master Qin, my husband and I will work hard to make money and move to the capital with Qingtian as soon as possible.
"Then we'll see whether it's better to send her to a girls' school or hire a teacher to teach her at home."
When Qin Hexuan heard that Sister Ye had this plan, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Although Qingtian is smart, he is still young. It is indeed a bit early for him to start learning now. A year or two will be just right.
"It's best if you have this in mind. If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask me."
"Thank you, Young Master Qin." Mrs. Ye said a few words to Qin Hexuan. Seeing that Qingtian was sleeping soundly, she didn't know what to do for a moment.
If I leave with the child, I will definitely wake her up.
But if I don’t take the child away, do I really have to let Young Master Qin continue to help take care of the child?
Instead, Qin Hexuan took the initiative and said, "Let her sleep. I asked the kitchen to leave some food for you. You can go eat first. It will be in time when she wakes up. It won't delay anything."
Mrs. Ye had no choice but to thank Qin Hexuan again and again, and followed the maid to the wing room, where she had a late lunch with Ye Lao Da and Ye Lao Si.
The three of them got up early in the morning and worked all morning, so they were very hungry.
But Ye Laosi had something on his mind and was obviously unable to eat.
Boss Ye felt bad when he saw this, so he picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in his bowl.
"Young man, eat more, we have to go back to the county town in the afternoon!"
"I don't know how Mom is doing now." Ye Lao Si was worried about Old Madam Ye. "If anything happened to Mom, I wouldn't be able to face my brothers and sisters-in-law again."
"Didn't the doctor say Mom is fine? Stop worrying." Ye Lao Da patted Ye Lao Si's shoulder and said, "Besides, this is not your fault.
"Mom won't blame you, and none of us will blame you either."
Seeing that there were only three of them in the room, Sister Ye put down her chopsticks and said, "Fourth Brother, there are no outsiders here. As your sister-in-law, I want to tell you a few words from the bottom of my heart.
"If you say something inappropriate, don't argue with your sister-in-law, okay?"
Ye Lao Si quickly said, "Sister-in-law, your words are too harsh. As the saying goes, an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. I grew up under your nose. Whatever you say, I will just listen to you!"
