After everyone returned home, the atmosphere should have been lively, but because of the Guo incident, everyone seemed to be cautious in speaking and doing things, watching everyone's face.

They couldn’t really tell whose expression it was, but they always felt a little awkward.

Ye Laosi felt that it was all his own problem, so he quickly finished his meal and went back to his room.

Mr. Cen was also very tactful and said that he was tired, and took Shi Lei and Meng Yu to the west room that Mrs. Ye had cleaned up to rest.

The Ye family members finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to discuss in low voices.

Ye Lao Er asked: "Brother, how is Lao Si feeling these days?"

"When the fourth brother was here just now, I didn't dare to breathe or speak casually." Ye Ersao said with lingering fear.

"It's okay, everyone should just be like this. The more awkward you act, the more awkward Old Four will be.

"Everyone is still the same as before, so he gradually stopped thinking about it."

After hearing what Ye Lao Da said, Old Lady Ye nodded repeatedly and said with a slightly stronger tone: "Look at the way you all were eating just now. I am embarrassed to say it in front of the fourth brother.

"Don't even mention Lao Si, I want to put down my bowl and go back to the house.

"Everyone, behave normally tomorrow!"

Everyone nodded.

Mrs. Ye sighed and said, "It's not so bad in our family. The second son and his wife are meeting the fourth son for the first time since the accident, so it's inevitable that they'll feel awkward. It will be fine in a few days.

“If you ask me, the most troublesome people are those in the village.

"When we came back this afternoon and passed by the village entrance, we heard people gossiping."

After hearing what Mrs. Ye said, the family members looked at each other and fell silent.

As the saying goes, people's words are scary.

Especially if you live in a village, any big or small event in someone's family will soon be known to everyone, and a lot of content will be added to the story that even the parties involved don't know.

But the mouth is on someone else's body, and there is no way to block it.

And once you encounter such a thing, the harder you try to clarify it, the more it will get worse.

"The fourth son is not a child anymore. He's a grown man. Can't he handle such a thing?" Mrs. Ye said this, but she was still worried. She turned to ask the third son's wife, "Can the third son find a job for the fourth son in the city?"

Mrs. Ye also sighed and said, "Mom, we have thought about this a long time ago.

“Originally, the third brother had already told the young master that he could be asked to do odd jobs in the carpentry workshop first.

"If you find a better job, you can leave at any time.

"But since the fourth brother himself doesn't want to, we can't say much."

Ye Laoda was worried that Old Madam Ye, who had just recovered from her illness, would be worried because of overthinking, so he said, "Don't worry, Mom. I will take the fourth child to the mountains to hunt tomorrow.

“We leave early and come back late, so we hardly run into any villagers.

"It's a good opportunity to store some more mountain products and meat for our family to survive the winter."

Not only that, Boss Ye was also thinking about making a few more good leathers to send to the Qin Mansion.

Now that the favors he owed to the Qin family were piling up, he couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.

"That's good." Old Mrs. Ye thought about it and nodded.

Going hunting is a good way to let off some steam.

And the mountains are so big that you rarely meet other people.

The two brothers might find an opportunity to talk to each other, and the eldest brother might be able to comfort the youngest.

"Okay, then go ahead. You'll have nothing to do at home anyway."

After discussing this matter, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Only then did Mrs. Ye have time to check the things at home.

"What's missing?" Boss Ye asked as he walked into the house after washing up and shaking the water off his hands.

"Several pieces of fabric I bought in Tianjin are missing," said Mrs. Ye, looking distressed. "They were all good materials. I was thinking of saving them to make clothes for Qingtian in two years!"

"It's a good thing I only lost a few pieces of fabric, and I'm glad I didn't leave the banknotes and jewelry at home.

"Especially the jade pendant that Young Master Qin gave to Qingtian, which has the Qin Mansion emblem on it.

"If we lose it and cause any trouble, we'll be in big trouble."

Mrs. Ye was also terrified after hearing this.

Isn’t it!

I should have insisted on not accepting it.

We are just an ordinary farming family, and the psychological pressure of holding such things is too great.

Qingtian, who had been tucked into bed, interrupted, "Brother Qin said that even if something was lost, the Qin Mansion would be able to find it back. No one would dare to sell anything from the Qin Mansion, and no one would dare to use anything from the Qin Mansion to do anything bad."

"Okay, okay, your brother Qin is right." Sister Ye said perfunctorily to her daughter, tucked the quilt into her, patted her twice and said, "Go to bed quickly!"

Qingtian turned over, lay on the pillow and asked, "Dad, are you going hunting with Fourth Uncle tomorrow?"

"I can't take you with me!" Boss Ye refused her without even waiting for her to ask.

Qingtian’s little mouth immediately pouted.

"But my eldest brother and the others have to go to private school tomorrow."

This was the "bad news" that Qingtian learned after he came back this time. All five of his brothers were sent to private schools.

Originally, Old Lady Ye only planned to send Ye Changrui, Ye Changxue, Ye Changzhao, and Ye Changfeng to private school.

Ye Changnian is only five years old this year and can stay at home for another year.

However, because Wang Guangping had been quite friendly to the Ye family recently, he immediately went to lobby them as soon as he heard about this.

There are five children in total, and Ye Changnian is only one year younger, so one more is not missing.
