Chapter 306 Sister-in-law! I finally found you

Ye Zhengqiu smiled, and as he smiled, tears kept falling: "Big brother's mother was killed by my mother. If big brother knew, would he let me go easily?"

This question stumped Liang.

Indeed, the old lady used a trick to kill the wife of the previous marquis. If this matter were to be exposed, my eldest brother would definitely hate them to death. How could he possibly help them?

“Jinyan!” Ye Zhengqiu wiped the tears from his face and told Liang, whose full name was Liang Jinyan, “I know you have hidden money on you, and I also know you are planning for the children.

Just think of it as a request from your husband, go find your sister-in-law tomorrow and give her some money to settle down. Your sister-in-law came back from such a far place, and she was separated before she even entered the house.

Adults don't care. It's okay to go hungry for one or two meals, but how can Zhongyuan's children bear it? The old lady is not a human being, and we can't do anything about it, but we can't stop being human.

After all, we are the child’s great uncle and great uncle. Are we just going to watch him starve and freeze?

If the Ye family wants to rise again, they cannot rely on my second brother's lineage, and I, as a husband, am useless.

You are right, the eldest wife is the hope of the Ye family. We cannot hold the money in our hands and watch the eldest sister-in-law and her family go hungry. Are we still human beings? We are beasts!"

Liang subconsciously touched the banknotes hidden in her bellyband, feeling very reluctant to part with them. She had only hidden 200 taels of silver in total, and it was her private savings.

She was the eldest daughter of a humble family. When she made a bellyband, she always liked to sew a small bag on the back to hide her favorite spices or something.

When she heard that her house was going to be confiscated, she quickly hid her private money in her bellyband, and the officials really didn't find it. Two hundred taels of silver, if you live frugally, can last for several years.

If she gave it to the eldest wife, what would happen to her two children? But seeing how sad the master was, if she refused to give it to him, he would be even more upset.

The master had always treated her kindly. The old lady had sent several maids to her room, but he took none of them. He also didn't have any concubines. He was devoted to her alone.

The old lady was very dissatisfied with her for this and always liked to make trouble for her and set rules for her. The master never said anything and always comforted her and asked her to be patient.

There was no other way. She was his own mother. What could he do? There was no better choice except to endure it.

The second wife has always followed the old lady's lead and is very much in her favor. There are many concubines and maids in the wife's room, but there is not a single illegitimate son or daughter.

No one knows why, and no one is investigating.

Behind Ye Zhengqiu's back, Liang took out four silver bills from her bellyband, each worth fifty taels.

She held them all in front of him and said, "Master! This is the private money I hid, a total of two hundred taels of silver. How much should we give to my sister-in-law?"

With trembling fingers, Ye Zhengqiu took the banknote with body temperature and looked at Liang: "Give it 150 taels! They have many people and small children. Even if they want to make a living, they need capital.

Don't worry! Tomorrow I will go to the bookstore to get some copying work. As long as you are willing to work hard, you won't starve to death."

Liang stared at a silver note handed to her by Ye Zhengchun, folded it carefully, and stuffed it into her bellyband behind his back.

"Master! Go to sleep! I will go out to look for my eldest sister-in-law and her family tomorrow and will definitely deliver the banknote to her. Don't worry! I will find an excuse to go back to my mother's house and will not let the old lady find out."

"Thanks!"

Ye Zhengqiu glanced at his wife, took off his clothes and got into bed.

His personality is very much like his father's, but the old lady had disciplined him strictly since he was young and did not allow him to practice martial arts. She only allowed him to study poetry and books and enter an official career.

Otherwise, he also wanted to be a military commander like his elder brother. His father had never liked them, so naturally he rarely cared about him.

If he had insisted on his own opinion when he was a child, would he not have become a useless scholar now?

Starting tomorrow, he would put aside his pride and go to the bookstore to find some copying work, earning every penny he could. His eldest sister-in-law and her family were back, and his eldest brother and nephew were not there, so he couldn't just leave them alone.

It was his mother and second brother who harmed them. It is only natural for a son to pay off his mother's debt. There is nothing to say.

It was his responsibility, and he had to shoulder it. He was the only man in the Ye family, and it was his duty to take care of the women in the family.

The next morning, Liang went out after breakfast, said goodbye to the old lady, and went to her parents' home.

The old lady didn't say anything, she just raised her eyelids and glanced at her. But Fang ordered like an elder sister-in-law: "Go to your mother's house to see if there is anything delicious, and bring some back for the old lady.

The old lady has not had a good appetite these past two days, you have to keep it in mind. Sister-in-law! The Ye family is ours, the eldest brother has split off and will no longer care about the old lady's affairs. "

Liang didn't say much, just nodded silently, and then left with her ten-year-old daughter. Her twelve-year-old son didn't go with them, and stayed at home with his father to study.

She grew up in the capital, and knew that her elder sister-in-law Chen Xiangxiu had no money in her pocket, so she must have settled in the west of the city. She would search street by street, and she would eventually find her.

She had a day to search slowly. With her daughter, they walked through street after street, but did not see Chen Xiangxiu and the others.

At noon, the mother and daughter each had a bowl of noodles at a noodle stall, rested for a while, and continued searching.

Hard work pays off, and I finally saw Chen Xiangxiu taking his grandson out for a walk.

"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! I finally found you."

Liang pulled her daughter and ran towards Chen Xiangxiu. She was extremely excited. When she ran in front of Chen Xiangxiu, she was out of breath and couldn't even speak.

Her daughter was the same, not only panting but also coughing. Her little face was pale, and she ran so fast that her chest felt very uncomfortable.

Chen Xiangxiu was stunned and looked at Liang: "Why are you here? Do you have something to ask me? Let me make it clear first, it's useless to ask me about the old lady."

Liang quickly waved her hands: "No, no, it's not the old lady's business, no, no."

Chen Xiangxiu, who was holding Chenchen's hand, pulled her and said, "Grandma! Take them home and sit down and talk! This sister looks very uncomfortable."

Looking at Liang's daughter, Chen Xiangxiu also felt that it was not good to talk to her in public. After all, they were still sisters-in-law. Even if the family was separated, the relationship between the sisters-in-law would not change. They were still sisters-in-law.

"Third sister-in-law! Come! Come home with me."

Chen Xiangxiu led Chenchen forward, and Liang followed behind, muttering in her heart as she walked, "Has my sister-in-law rented a house to live in?"

It seems that it is not as difficult as imagined. After all, he was born in a wealthy family and his family is in business. They would not come to the capital without any preparation.

This is good. As long as my sister-in-law and her family are doing well, the master will feel better.

When she got home and opened the door, Liang was stunned to see the clean and tidy yard. This place was much better than the Ye family's old house.

My sister-in-law is really capable. She found a house so quickly. Look at this yard, it’s tidy and warm.

People who live here must be in a very good mood.

How nice and beautiful it would be if her family had such a small courtyard.
