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 waiters came in and started serving the dishes.
Mrs. Ye was afraid that Qingtian was too hungry, so she quickly picked up some food for her.
After serving the children their meal, the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and the other two suddenly had some free time. They looked at each other and laughed out loud.
Old Madam Ye sighed, “When I first left my hometown to escape the famine, I wondered if my old bones could really make it to the day I could return home.
"Who would have thought that not only have I returned home safely, but our lives at home are getting better and better.
"If I had known this, I should have sold the house and land in Huinan and returned home directly."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ye San quickly replied, "Mom, if you ask me, it's pretty good now. Luck is all about timing.
"Maybe if we had come back earlier, we wouldn't have had such good luck!"
Hearing her third daughter-in-law say this, Old Lady Ye subconsciously looked at Qingtian and said, "If you ask me, our family's luck is getting better and better, and it all started with saving Qingtian.
"It must be that the Bodhisattva saw that we were saving people from danger, so..."
Several children chimed in to help her finish the rest of the sentence: "May our family live better and better lives."
Seeing this, Old Lady Ye deliberately started the conversation and said, "So..."
"So we have to be nice to our sister!"
"So we have to protect our sister!"
…
The five boys shouted in unison, so loud that even the private room next door could hear it clearly.
The county magistrate's face was already a little red after a few drinks. He listened attentively for a long time before asking Boss Ye: "What are they shouting next door?"
"Five naughty boys, they are so naughty, I don't know what they are yelling about, I will go over and talk to them."
The county magistrate grabbed Boss Ye's arm and pulled him back to his original position.
"Children, don't they just make noise?"
Fortunately, after a while of noise next door, things returned to quiet again.
Boss Ye heaved a sigh of relief, stood up, raised his glass and said to the county magistrate: "Thank you for your kindness to us brothers today.
"This glass of wine is for you.
"I did it, you can do whatever you want."
The county magistrate's ancestral home was in the south. He was assigned to work in Fengle County. He had never left Shanhaiguan in his life. Fengle County was the northernmost place he had ever been to.
So he had no idea how terrible the drinking capacity of a kid like Boss Ye, who grew up outside the Great Wall, could be.
