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...
The Ye family finally had some peace and quiet, and everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
At noon, just as Old Mrs. Ye said, whoever is hungry can go to the kitchen to find something to eat.
Ye Juaner came over to check on the situation after lunch and found that the yard was quiet and there was no one there.
"Is everyone out?" Ye Juan'er muttered to herself in confusion, and then she saw Xiao Ye rushing out of the house, running to the gate of the yard, arching his back and barking at her.
Immediately afterwards, Sunny, wrapped like a cotton bun, chased out.
"Xiaoye, don't yell, this is my aunt, we are one of our own!"
Xiao Ye stopped barking immediately upon hearing this and wagged his tail at Ye Juaner.
When Ye Juan'er heard Qingtian say this, she immediately smiled happily. She bent down, picked her up, and asked, "Where are all the family members?"
"Grandpa was invited to dinner by the village chief. My father, second uncle, and fourth uncle went up the mountain to chop firewood. My five brothers went to school. Grandma is resting in the house. My mother and third aunt are doing needlework in second aunt's room!"
She spoke slowly, but she explained clearly who was doing what.
At this time, the three sisters-in-law in Ye Laoer's room also heard Ye Juaner's voice.
Mrs. Ye opened the window and waved to her: "Aunt, it's cold outside, come in and talk with me."
"What are you guys doing?" Ye Juan'er carried Qingtian into the house.
"Help the second son's wife pick up these scraps of cloth and see if you can make something out of them. Don't waste them."
"The material that Wang Fugui stole hasn't been recovered yet, right?"
"He sold it a long time ago. Where can I find it?" Ye Ersao sighed and continued, "Luckily, I had almost finished making this second set of clothes. Although a few pieces of cloth were lost, the clothes were not stolen. Otherwise, I don't know how I would explain it to the Qin family."
"That's a blessing," Ye Juan'er said, "Liu went to the prison to see Wang Fugui and heard that he has given up.
"After all, someone has died, and it might be a life for a life.
"It's a death sentence anyway, so there's no way he'll refund anything."
When the three sisters-in-law heard Liu Juaner talking about Liu, they immediately showed expressions of disgust.
"I don't know what's wrong with that Liu Shi's brain. Even in this state, she still can't let go of Wang Fugui and wants him to come back and continue living with her?
Ye Juan'er knew the situation better than them and whispered, "It's not her fault.
"After Wang Fugui took Guo away, Liu discovered that all the silver and banknotes in the house had disappeared.
“Even the fine wines that had been stocked in the grocery store for years, as well as some of the older goods, were almost all taken away by Wang Fugui.
"Now Liu is left with an empty shell. She's all alone with the child, and her family still depends on her for support. If she doesn't get Wang Fugui out, how can she support herself?"
"That's true." Mrs. Ye nodded after hearing this. "So, she is indeed a person with a miserable life."
Sister-in-law Ye San quickly said, "Sister-in-law, don't be so kind. Sympathizing with such people will only bring bad luck to yourself."
"Don't worry, I won't."
As several people were talking about this, they heard heavy footsteps coming from outside.
Someone rushed into the yard and shouted, "Brother Ye? Brother Ye? Brother Ye? Brother Ye? Who's home? Hurry up and get some Ali out!"
"What happened?" Mrs. Ye looked outside and found that the person who came was Ye Qingyuan.
"Qingyuan, what's wrong? What happened?"
"Are Brother Ye and the others home?"
"They all went up the mountain to chop firewood. It's the same if you have anything to say to me." Mrs. Ye said.
"This matter..." Ye Qingyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Someone came to Wang Fugui's house to cause trouble, and the village chief asked me to call some people over to help stop them. "But since Brother Ye and the others are not at home, forget it. I'll go check elsewhere."
Ye Juan'er immediately stopped him and asked, "Who's causing trouble? What's going on? You're leaving without a second thought, leaving no trace of what you said. Who are you trying to keep in suspense?"
"Alas, they are all debt collectors." Ye Qingyuan said this and ran out. Ye Juan'er immediately stood up excitedly and said, "Let's go and take a look."
Mrs. Ye hesitated and said, "It doesn't seem right for us to go there."
"That's right, I'll go take a look and tell you about it when I come back." Mrs. Ye couldn't suppress her curiosity, so she got up and ran away.
Mrs. Ye San was a little eager to try it, but after being looked at by Mrs. Ye Da, she immediately sat back down obediently.
"Sister-in-law, when you are free, you should teach me how to help you, right?"
"Don't worry, I'll ask you to come along when Master Cen teaches me later."
"Mr. Cen wants to teach you? What?" Mrs. Ye asked in surprise.
"My cooking skills are not good enough. This is what Mr. Cen cooks!" Mrs. Ye said, giving a thumbs up.
"Yes, after all, Mr. Cen is the imperial chef and has so many years of experience. We should learn from him." Although Mrs. Ye said this, she was actually a little worried in her heart.
She certainly wasn't as comfortable in front of Mr. Cen as she was in front of Mrs. Ye.
I wonder if Mr. Cen will spank my hands like a private school teacher if I don’t do well?
Ye Juaner ran out to see what was happening and found out that it was the loan sharks in the city who heard that Wang Fugui was arrested by the government, so they came to his house in a hurry to collect the debt.
The entrance to Wang Fugui's house was suddenly blocked by a crowd of people, and many people in the yard were making a lot of noise.
Ye Juan'er arrived a little late and couldn't even squeeze in at the door. She could only ask the person in front of her, "How many people are here? It's just a debt collection, what's the big deal?"
