When Ye Caiping opened her eyes, she was a divorced woman cast out of her husband's home, with her sister-in-law sharpening her knife at her. It's not that the sister-in-law wouldn't to...
"In the end, it's all my fault as the head of the family these past fourteen years. I've wronged you all. Caiping just said, three months! Within three months, I will find Caiping a new husband! I will let her get married."
Ye Caiping almost spat out her tea. She was talking about making money within three months, how did it turn into getting married?
"What if she can't get married within three months?" Du said, her eyes suddenly darting around, and she said fiercely, "If she can't get married, I'll find her a husband! No matter who it is, I'll find her one, and she'll have to marry him!"
After saying that, Du felt incredibly clever.
If Ye Caiping really falls into her hands, she will definitely marry her off far away! So that these women who support their sons and sisters will never be able to reach her!
Or, you could simply marry her off to her parents' home and let Ye Daquan support her whole family!
Old Man Ye was taken aback. What was going on?
Before he could speak, Ye Caiping had already said, "Okay!"
That's exactly what she meant: if they don't earn money in three months, they'll be at the mercy of the Du family.
The original owner owed so much to the Du family and her relatives. If she didn't show some sincerity, why would they give her a chance to atone for her sins?
Although that was not her crime.
But once you accept this body, you have to take responsibility. Whether it's sins or debts, only after you've paid them off can this life truly belong to her.
“But I want to change the terms. If I give you thirty taels within three months, our past grievances will be wiped clean, and you will have no right to interfere with my marriage.”
Old Man Ye and the others were all stunned. What was all this about? This was even more outrageous than remarrying within three months!
Thirty taels? Did she even know what she was saying?
These peasants, even after a whole year of hard work, couldn't save up five taels of silver. Thirty taels in three months? That was simply a pipe dream.
Fearing that Ye Caiping might change her mind, Madam Du hurriedly said, "I don't care whether you earn thirty taels or get married, it's settled!"
Then, she turned back to look at Old Man Ye: "Father, she agreed to this herself! If she can't get married within three months, I will decide on the marriage!"
Du completely ignored the conditions that Ye Caiping had changed.
In her view, it was impossible to earn thirty taels of silver in three months, so Ye Caiping could only rely on Old Man Ye to arrange a marriage for her.
Ye Daquan and the others were completely stunned. After a long while, Ye Daquan finally recovered from his shock and slammed his fist on the table, standing up:
"You silly woman, when will it be your turn to get married?"
"Shut up!" Ye Caiping glared at him.
Ye Daquan's face froze, filled with disbelief: "Little sister..."
He looked aggrieved. He was clearly trying to help his younger sister, so why was she yelling at him?
Old Man Ye frowned, took a deep drag on his pipe with a heavy heart, and then spoke:
"Alright, since they've already made up their minds, let's leave it at that! I'll get Caiping married within three months. If that's not possible, then the eldest daughter-in-law will have to make the arrangements."
Three months is too short, but Du suffered too much injustice because of Ye Caiping, and ruined Xuan'er's life!
There are other grandchildren... They all harbor some resentment, and they can't refuse.
Only after hearing Old Man Ye's words did Madam Du breathe a sigh of relief.
Although the old man doted on his sister-in-law, he was a man of his word. Once he agreed, the matter was truly settled.
Ye Caiping was speechless. So, when she just righteously corrected them that it wasn't about getting married, but about earning thirty taels in three months, they all ignored her.
However, the original owner was good-looking but had no other skills, so getting married was indeed her only way out.
Ye Caiping didn't say much. She had already conveyed the message: as long as she completed the task on time, the impasse would be broken.
