"Yes, it's still Mr. Shen. I heard the betrothal gift alone was 100,000 taels!"

"One hundred thousand? Really?"

"That's what they say anyway. Whether it's true or not, the betrothal gifts were coming in cartloads. I heard there was even a maid handing out candy and copper coins at the door!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go grab some candy. If we're quick, we might even find a few coins."

The three members of the Wei family all stopped what they were doing and stared blankly.

Madam Wei's expression changed slightly: "Ye Caiping... is getting married? Impossible! How could this be..."

Because of her falling out with Ye Caiping's family, Mrs. Wei had been hoping for misfortune for them every day. When she suddenly heard this news, she was stunned.

Ye Caiping, who broke her mother-in-law's leg and was eventually divorced, has a terrible reputation. Even if she has money, she will never be able to get married!

Moreover, this person is Mr. Shen! Not only is he handsome, but he is also a top scholar in the imperial examination, and his brother is a high-ranking official.

In her view, he was an unapproachable big shot, how could he possibly want Ye Caiping?

Mrs. Wei's face was almost contorted with rage. She turned around and quickly walked out.

Ye Peng's face also looked bad, and a wave of bitterness welled up inside him.

How could this be...?

If this is true, then wouldn't Ye Jin'er become a daughter of an official?

Looking at his expression, Wei Xiaojuan got angry: "Husband, come and peel some melon seeds for me."

Ye Peng was annoyed: "I'm chopping wood right now, can't you do it yourself?"

Wei Xiaojuan was taken aback, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears: "Husband...you're being mean to me!"

Ye Peng frowned; she had been crying more and more frequently lately.

Anyway, she always has red eyes, looking like she's suffered a great injustice.

He asked himself if he had done anything to wrong her!

He did all the dirty and tiring work, while she just stood by and complained.

He's not exactly idle either. Seeing how tired he is, she not only doesn't help him, but she also makes him go and peel sunflower seeds!

He had been holding back all this time, but now he was upset by the news from Ye Caiping's family, and coupled with her unreasonable behavior, he turned around and went into his room in anger.

They slammed the door shut.
