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...
Although they are often seen in the countryside, Mrs. Ye has never been afraid of insects since she was a child. She is only afraid of these thin, twisting things.
For example, earthworms, snakes, or loaches.
Looking at the earthworm that Qingtian held high in front of her eyes, Mrs. Ye felt like she was about to faint.
She quickly looked away and asked, "Where's your dad? Go find him and tell him we're going home."
When Qingtian heard that Sister Ye had something for him to do, he threw the earthworm on the ground and said, "Dad went into the house to talk to Grandma. He said he had something to discuss with her and he kicked us all out of the house."
"What's going on? Why are you acting so mysterious?" Mrs. Ye was a little curious when she heard that, so she went into the house to find out what was going on.
As she walked to the door of the inner room, she heard Old Madam Ye say, "Just discuss this matter with your wife.
"In the past, I was in charge of everything at home and made all the decisions.
“But now your families are all living better and better, and I am getting older.
"So I thought, when it's time to let go, it's time to let go."
"Mom, please don't say that." Ye Laodao said, "The fourth child hasn't gotten married yet, so why are you calling me old?
"Of course I have to discuss this matter with my wife, but since it's a major matter for our family, I still have to let you take the lead first.
"If you don't agree, there's no need for me to tell my wife, right?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Ye was silent for a long time before she spoke again.
“Boss, I’m a mother, if you really want to ask me, of course I don’t want you to go.
"Let's not even talk about the current situation outside the Great Wall. Even after the earth dragon turned over, it's completely different from the mountains you used to know.
“Even the journey there and back may not be peaceful.
"Not to mention that you'll be gone for several months, how can I not be worried?
"But mother also understands your thoughts. Your wife is getting more and more successful now, so you naturally have to find ways to make more money.
"So I say, you two should just discuss this matter behind closed doors.
"Just remember to have a good discussion with your wife and don't be stubborn.
"Also, no matter whether we agree to go or not, we must do it amicably and don't bring up past issues. Got it?"
Mrs. Ye felt a little uncomfortable at first, thinking that Boss Ye didn't even discuss things with her first.
He is so old, he should still go to his mother if he has any problems.
But she was really moved when she heard what Old Lady Ye said later.
Ye Juan'er had once said to Sister Ye during a casual chat: "Your whole family has lived together for so many years and has been able to live in such harmony. Your mother-in-law deserves at least half the credit."
When Mrs. Ye heard it, she agreed with it.
Now I feel that it is more than half, it should be more than half.
After listening to the conversation between the mother and son in the room, Mrs. Ye did not go in and quietly retreated.
She had just walked out of the house and grabbed Qingtian to wash her hands when Boss Ye came out right after her.
Qingtian quickly said, "Dad, Mom said she wants to go home!"
"Okay!" Boss Ye responded and quickly prepared the carriage.
Boss Ye is actually a person who can't keep secrets. He couldn't even wait until he got home and told Mrs. Ye everything on the way back.
"Go to the mountains outside the Great Wall?" Mrs. Ye's first reaction was, "Aren't there mountains near the capital? Why do we have to go outside the Great Wall?"
"Look at the way you ask this question. There are so many good things in the mountains outside the Great Wall!
"Ginseng, deer antler, Ganoderma lucidum, Gastrodia elata, and immortality grass—those are all treasures everywhere.
"If it could be obtained around the capital, wouldn't it have been everywhere and worthless long ago?"
Mrs. Ye thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.
But when she thought about Boss Ye going outside the border for several months, she always felt empty in her heart and a little inexplicably anxious.
Mrs. Ye subconsciously turned her head to look at Qingtian beside her, only to find that Qingtian had caught an earthworm and put it in the car at some point, and was now playing with it in his hand!
"Ah——" She saw it unexpectedly this time and couldn't control herself, and finally screamed.
Ye Laoda was startled. He suddenly pulled the reins to stop the carriage, and half of his body got into the carriage and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Mrs. Ye was so frightened that she couldn't speak.
Qingtian had no idea what was going on and was instead frightened by Mrs. Ye's scream.
Boss Ye looked for a long time, and finally his eyes fell on the earthworm in Qingtian's hand, and he couldn't help laughing.
He reached out and snatched the earthworm from Qingtian's hand, tossed it out of the car, then wiped her hands and said, "Don't do this anymore. Your mother is most afraid of these long, twisting worms."
Qingtian then realized what was wrong with Mrs. Ye. He quickly untied the purse from his waist and poured it out the window by the bottom.
The earthworms rolled into a ball and fell out, and I didn’t know how many of them were there.
Mrs. Ye felt like she was about to faint.
Qingtian was not like this before, why does he like catching earthworms now?
It would have been fine if he just grabbed them for fun, but he actually put them all in his pocket to take home.
If she hadn't discovered it on the way, and it had crawled all over the house and the bed when she got home, it would have been the end of her life.
But no matter how scared she was, Mrs. Ye didn't scold Qingtian right away. Instead, she waited until she calmed down a bit before asking, "Qingtian, why do you suddenly like catching earthworms? I've never seen you catch one before!"
"Because my eldest brother said earthworms are good things. Not only can they make crops more fertile, but chickens will grow better after eating them, and they can also be used for fishing.
