After Escaping Famine, Three-Year-Old Fu Bao Became Everyone’s Favorite

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...

Chapter 545: Only Old Lady Ye knows the difficulties in her heart

Mrs. Ye was embarrassed and kept trying to be humble, but she kicked Boss Ye under the table.

Everyone was enjoying their meal, but he insisted on saying this, making it seem as if he was speaking up for Mrs. Ye. How embarrassing is it now?

Boss Ye didn't expect that his sudden action would lead to such consequences. He quickly filled up the glasses of Zhou's father and Zhou's elder brother, raised his glass and drank another glass of wine, which covered up the embarrassment just now.

Zhou's mother also took the opportunity to praise Mrs. Ye.

“My sister-in-law’s cooking skills are really great.

“Before, my daughter only said that she learned some cooking skills from you, but she didn’t tell us that your cooking skills are so good and you are so famous.

"If we hadn't met our in-laws today, we wouldn't have known that our eldest sister-in-law was the famous Madam You!"

Mrs. Ye blushed at the praise and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "Please stop praising me, or I'll take it seriously.

"As for fame, I've only gained a little since winning third place in a cooking competition. Before, no one would have recognized me even if I told others about it."

Hearing what Sister Ye said, before Mother Zhou could say anything else, Shao couldn't help but said, "Sister-in-law, I've wanted to talk to you about this for a long time. Don't you underestimate your own fame?

"Although you may not have been very famous among the common people before, you were quite famous among the wives of officials!

"So many people are lining up to invite you to a banquet, don't you have any idea of what's going on?"

Madam Xu had been sitting quietly on the side, eating by herself, but now she couldn't help but say, "Madam You, what the general's wife said is not an exaggeration at all.

“You may not know this, but all of us matchmakers in the capital know it.

"It would be a great honor for anyone to have you as the host for their wedding banquet!"

Shao continued, "Sister-in-law, did you hear me this time?

"You didn't believe anything your family members said, but now even Madam Xu is saying this, you should finally believe it, right?"

But Mrs. Ye's thinking had obviously gone astray.

She said directly to Zhou's mother: "If the marriage between my fourth son and Miss Zhou can be successful, their wedding banquet will be left to me."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the table laughed.

The Zhou family are all businessmen and have met all kinds of people.

Although this was only their first meeting, they had already felt that the Ye family were indeed honest and sincere people.

After the meal, everyone drank some tea and chatted for a while, and then the three members of the Zhou family got up and said goodbye and went back.

On the way back in the carriage, Brother Zhou was the first to speak: "Dad, Mom, I think my younger sister has good taste.

“Didn’t she say before that the Ye family were all very nice and treated her very well?

“I thought it was just a trick.

"But today, through my interactions with them, I discovered that the Ye family is quite honest and not the type to play tricks.

"Most importantly, I think his old lady is easy to get along with, and his brother and sister-in-law seem to have a good relationship.

"The atmosphere between them is not something that can be faked easily.

"If my younger sister can marry into a family like this, we should be able to rest assured."

Mother Zhou nodded when she heard this and said, "I've also noticed that the old lady in his family treats her daughter-in-law well.

"Not only did he ask his son to help serve the dishes, he also waited for his wife to sit down before starting to eat.

"I don't think it's something that can be faked; it's probably like this at home.

"I don't have any other requirements, as long as his family can be sincere to their daughter."

After the mother and son finished speaking, they all looked at the head of the family.

Although Zhou's father did not pay attention to as many details as his wife, based on his years of observing people, he also felt that the Ye family was a reliable family.

However, he didn't give in so quickly, saying only, "Marriage is no joke, and there's no need to make a conclusion so quickly."

He then said to his son, "Go home and immediately find someone to go to Rongxi Village. Before the Ye family returns, ask the village about his family's situation."

"Okay, Dad, don't worry, I'll go myself!"

Father Zhou nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, then turned to Mother Zhou and said, "First, let's see his family's attitude and actions regarding the purchase of the house.

"We have no shortage of houses or money. As long as his family has a positive attitude and works hard, it wouldn't be a problem for us to give our daughter a larger dowry."

Zhou's mother laughed when she heard this, and turned to her son and said, "Look at your father, even though he's tough on the outside, he's already very satisfied in his heart!"

The Zhou family returned satisfied, but Old Mrs. Ye was in trouble.

After sending the Zhou family members onto the carriage and watching them leave, before even returning to the house, Old Lady Ye's face suddenly turned bitter.

"Mom, what's going on?" Boss Ye asked hurriedly, "Are you dissatisfied with the Zhou family?"

"Why would I be dissatisfied with them?" Old Mrs. Ye rolled her eyes at her son. "I'm just worried!"

"What are you worried about?" Boss Ye and Mrs. Ye asked in unison.

On the contrary, Mrs. Shao, who didn't know the details of the Ye family, probably guessed what Mrs. Ye was thinking and asked tentatively, "Auntie, are you worried about buying a house in the capital?"

"That's right!" Old Madam Ye sighed, "This is the capital, not Fengle County. It's not that easy to buy a house!"

"Oh!" Ye Laodao said, "I thought it was nothing!

"So what if it's the capital? We don't need to buy a big house.

"We'll have more than enough money to buy a small courtyard with two entrances for the young couple to live in."
