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 next day at noon, at Youji Dumpling Restaurant, Ye Laosi listened to Miss Zhou recount what happened yesterday.
Ye Lao Si was simply dumbfounded when he heard this. He said, "My goodness, I never realized that your mother was so powerful at the critical moment!"
Miss Zhou said, "Of course, even though my mother usually has a good temper, once she gets angry, our whole family has to obey her!
"My temper is just like my mother's. If you make me angry in the future, I will be more powerful than my mother, understand?"
"Don't worry, I won't give you such a chance." Ye Lao Si said without hesitation, "Besides, my three brothers and sister-in-law are very kind people. They can't wait to help us. They will never behave like your second uncle."
"That's right, your brothers are the most harmonious and harmonious group I have ever seen.
"Not only your three biological brothers, but even your cousin who you just met not long ago is helping you this way.
"My father was at home a while ago, saying that a big, harmonious family like yours is really rare."
Ye Lao Si took the opportunity to say, "So you don't have to worry, just marry me with peace of mind."
Miss Zhou blushed upon hearing this and lowered her eyes, saying, "Whether you want to marry or not, you have to come and propose first!"
After she said this, she felt her cheeks were so hot that she could fry an egg on them.
Which unmarried girl would ask these questions herself?
It seemed as if she couldn't wait to marry Ye Laosi.
Ye Lao Si hurriedly explained: "It's not that I don't want to propose marriage. You know, I took out all the money I had before to buy a house, and my brothers also helped me to collect some.
“Although my brothers don’t mind helping me with money again, I can’t always rely on them for everything from buying a house to getting married.
"I originally thought that if I could save up two more months' salary, I could come to your house and propose marriage in a grand manner.
"But the reward I received for my meritorious service this time is more than enough. I will bring my mother over from home in the next few days and hurry up to settle our relationship.
"You're so good, you don't know how worried I am that you'll be picked by someone else. I'm even more anxious than you are!"
Miss Zhou felt sweet inside when she heard this, but she said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who's anxious? Anyway, I'm not anxious, and my family isn't anxious either. My parents are eager to keep me for two more years!"
Ye Lao Si said, "If you're not anxious, I am. My whole family is extremely anxious!"
Miss Zhou was amused by him and burst out laughing.
The dumplings were served on the table at this time, and the two took the opportunity to change the topic and talk about other things.
Miss Zhou began to secretly observe Ye Laosi's every move since they met.
Seeing that he was eating with a good appetite, she finally felt relieved.
"When I heard you had done something great again that day, I was so scared that my heart was pounding. I was afraid you would get hurt like last time."
"Well, that was an accident last time.
“Besides, I work for the Yulin Guards, so it’s normal for me to get injured.
"As a result, because of the injury I got last time, my cousin wanted to tie me to his belt when I went on this mission, for fear that I would get injured again in a place he didn't know about."
Miss Zhou said, "That's why I just said that you are so lucky. Both your brother and your cousin are so kind to you."
"They've been kind to me, and I'll repay them. I won't be as ungrateful as your second uncle's family."
"Yes, this is how relatives should get along with each other." Miss Zhou agreed deeply and nodded repeatedly.
“But even if your cousin takes care of you, you can’t be too careless.
"I'd rather you not accomplish anything than see you get hurt again, understand?"
"Don't worry, even if it's for you and my family, I will definitely protect myself."
After the two of them finished eating dumplings, Ye Laosi sent Miss Zhou home and rode straight back to Rongxi Village.
Now that winter is approaching, it gets dark earlier.
It was dark when Ye Laosi arrived home. The door of the Ye family was already closed and bolted from the inside.
"Second brother, open the door!" Ye Lao Si had no choice but to knock on the door while shouting, "I'm back!"
Ye Lao Er came out with his clothes on and asked, "Who is it?"
"Second brother, I'm the fourth one!" Ye Laosi said quickly.
"Fourth Brother, why did you come back so suddenly?" Ye Laoer hurried over to open the door and asked worriedly, "What happened?"
"It's okay." Ye Lao Si walked in, found a place to tie up the horse, and rubbed his slightly cold hands. "I got another reward this time, so I want to take mother to the capital. Please help me buy things and propose marriage quickly. The Zhou family is already waiting anxiously."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lao Er said, "We've long told you not to be so stubborn. We haven't split up yet, and it's only natural for your brothers to pool their money to help you get married. But you insist on being so stubborn.
"Luckily, you've made another contribution this time and received the reward. Otherwise, how long would you have let Miss Zhou wait for you?"
When Ye Laosi heard him bring this up again, he simply fell silent.
Ye Lao Er said helplessly: "I don't know who you inherited this temper from!"
The two brothers were talking in the yard. Old Mrs. Ye couldn't hear them clearly in the house, so she pushed the window open a crack and asked, "Second brother, who are you talking to?"
"Mom, I'm the fourth child." Ye Laosi quickly took this opportunity to get rid of Ye Laoer's nagging, walked into the house in two steps, and told him why he came.
"This is serious business." Old Madam Ye took it very seriously and said, "It's my fault for being careless. I should have prepared earlier.
