"And Mr. Shen is a very good person. My grandmother used to occasionally say that she hoped my mother would find one."

“We were all a little worried at the time. We didn’t know what that person would be like... but if it was Mr. Shen, then we were really lucky and breathed a sigh of relief.”

Ye Huan'er nodded.

Everyone is afraid of change.

Their once wonderful and prosperous life was suddenly disrupted by a new person.

He might be a thoughtful person, and have a harsh mother or children.

They are about to face the unfamiliar and the unknown.

But Mr. Shen... they know him very well. Apart from being aloof, strict, and having a small fish, he has no other flaws.

And then there's Sister Man; they've long since become best friends.

Moreover, Shen Zhiyan is top-notch in every aspect, whether it is appearance, talent, character, or background.

Why wouldn't you want a dad like that? Just thinking about it makes you feel proud!

Ye Huan'er asked, "Mother, when are you getting engaged to Mr. Shen?"

Ye Caiping: "Hmm...waiting for his family to arrive..."

When are you coming?

Ye Caiping: "Almost there, almost there..."

She had been wondering how to persuade the two girls to accept the marriage proposal tonight, but now they were urging her to get married.

Ye Huan'er laughed and said, "Hehe, when you get engaged, Mother, it will be very funny if the people in Li Family Village find out about it."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jin'er's eyes lit up: "We don't need to worry, Grandma Zhao will pass this on. I really want to see their reaction."

At first, they were a little unaccustomed to it, but the thought of slapping Li Zhiyuan in the face made the two sisters feel like they had been injected with chicken blood.

Li Zhiyuan married a woman less than a month after divorcing his mother.

Why should Mother have to stay by his side forever?

If Mother doesn't remarry, the Li family will think that Mother is thinking about him!

This person is still Mr. Shen, who is a hundred times better than Li Zhiyuan in every way!

Ye Caiping breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the two of them looking excited.

......

At the same time, Madam Wei was at Ye Daquan's house, discussing wedding arrangements with the eldest son, Old Mrs. Ye and her husband, and Ye's second uncle's family.

Ye Erquan also sat to the side with a stern face.

Mrs. Wei said, "Anyway, it'll be just like any other family's banquet. I'll trouble you, my sister-in-law and second aunt, to take the village women and aunts to wash vegetables and cut meat."

Just then, a loud laugh rang out, and Granny Zhao, with her bound feet, swayed in: "Hey, we still have work to do?"

Mrs. Wei frowned: "Of course. Which banquet doesn't need everyone's help?"

Granny Zhao scoffed, "When Cai Ping hosts her banquet, she hires a chef from outside, and we can just sit back and wait to eat. Oh, and the Da Quan family also hired a chef from outside last time they hosted their banquet. What, Er Quan's wife, can't your family afford one?"

Ms. Wei choked so much that her face turned like a dye vat, with all sorts of colors mixed together.

Granny Zhao continued to complain: "They keep saying they're a rich family, but what rich family would serve drinks themselves?"

Mrs. Wei almost had a heart attack: "I... I didn't say I wouldn't invite you... Auntie, you should go back first!"

Grandma Ye took a light breath and looked at the servants beside her.

The servants of Ye Daquan's family quickly asked Granny Zhao to leave, as the saying goes, "family scandals should not be aired in public."

Old Lady Zhao left reluctantly.

Taking this opportunity, Madam Wei looked at Ye Erquan and said, "Husband, you heard it too. No matter what, it's our family hosting the banquet. Our eldest brother has set a precedent, so we should invite the cooks from outside back to do the work."

Ye Erquan rolled his eyes: "What's it to me! If you want to invite someone, go invite them yourself! I've already said I won't spend a single copper coin."

Mr. Wei's eyes were red.

Grandma Ye was too lazy to say anything more: "Second son's wife, give me a straight answer! Are we going to hire a cook from outside or cook for ourselves in the village? If we're going to cook for ourselves, we should start preparing everything now."

Mrs. Wei clutched her chest tightly, nearly vomiting blood.

She originally wanted to gloss over the matter and let the villagers do it themselves.

But Granny Zhao jumped out and suggested hiring a cook. If she didn't, wouldn't she be outdone by the eldest son's wife and Ye Caiping?

With a forced smile, Mr. Wei said, "Please send the cook!"

Grandma Ye nodded: "Alright then. As for the dishes, the ones at Xuan'er's scholar's banquet last time were very good. I've already given you the recipe. You can add or subtract as needed!"

Wei choked. Ye Xuan's scholar's banquet was lavish, full of meat dishes!

Aunt Ye frowned: "If you want to save money, you can use the recipe from Wu Quan's wedding."

Madam Wei clutched her chest again. She did want to use the banquet from Wu Quan's wedding, but with Ye Daquan's family banquet as a comparison, how could she use it?

He forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Second Aunt. We'll follow the recipe from the Scholar's Banquet."

Grandma Ye sighed, "Well... everything's been discussed enough. Everyone knows the wedding procession and all that, let's go back now!"

One by one, everyone turned and left.

Looking at Wei's retreating figure, Du shook her head. She was truly stingy yet tried to put on a show of wealth.

......

October 15th arrived quickly, the day Ye Peng was to get married.

Mrs. Wei invited all her relatives and friends.

The house was decorated with all sorts of red cloth and red flowers, making it very festive.

Soon, the wedding procession returned. A group of children chased after the procession, laughing and joking, and almost all the villagers gathered around.

"Wow, that's a big red bridal sedan chair!"

"And music and rituals!"

"Look at Ye Peng, he looks so handsome in that outfit, it even has embroidery! He looks so dashing and energetic today, like a young master from a wealthy family!"

Ye Peng sat astride a tall horse, dressed in a bright red wedding robe adorned with exquisite embroidery, looking extremely luxurious.
