The Ye brothers, Ye Daquan and Ye Jin'er sat nervously outside Ye Caiping's door.

Even the old man and his wife were so worried that they squatted in the courtyard.

With a creak, the door opened, and Ye Caiping stepped out.

"Little sister, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Ye Daquan immediately rushed over and whispered in her ear, "How about we go to Li Family Village together and throw a ladle of manure at them when they're getting married?"

"Pfft—" Ye Caiping laughed out loud, glared at him, "You're not allowed to go, or they'll never forgive us. I already said, we men and women don't concern ourselves with each other's marriages."

Grandma Ye immediately stepped forward: "Yes, yes, we can't make a scene. Otherwise, people will think Caiping still has feelings for him. If the families who are going to arrange a marriage hear about it, how will she get married?"

Although Grandma Ye was also very angry, she had come to a realization.

Ye Daquan's face twisted slightly. Yes, his little sister was going to remarry! It wouldn't be good to ruin her reputation.

"As long as they don't provoke us, we won't provoke them either. We'll just live our own lives well." Ye Caiping stretched.

Although she was set up as a tool or cannon fodder to send the female lead to her death, to give her ginseng, and to provide her with a space.

But fate smiled upon her, and she awakened to the plot. This life was now hers to live, and she could choose whichever path she wanted to take.

She doesn't necessarily have to be Li Jiaojiao's enemy; she just needs to live her own life well.

Just then, Ye Daquan's stomach rumbled, and Ye Caiping was taken aback: "You haven't eaten yet?"

"No, we're waiting for you. Your sister-in-law has already heated up the buns and porridge twice."

"Let's go eat!"

When Grandma Ye and Grandpa Ye saw that Ye Caiping had recovered, the weight on their hearts disappeared, and they smiled.

After the family finished their meal happily, Ye Caiping took her two daughters back to their room to count the money.

I prepared an extra bucket today, so I earned more than 500 coins, which adds up to a total of one tael and three mace.

Ye Caiping felt that the money-making speed was a bit slow, so she needed to upgrade her space and resell some items.

However, the upgrade potential is 10 taels.

After selling the ginseng last time, the cost of buying spices and spicy soup left me with 4 taels of silver. With what I earned in the last two days, I only have 6 taels left.

That's not enough; we need to save up for a few more days.

Seeing her sigh, Ye Jin'er said anxiously, "Mother, the ginseng from the mountain..."

"What ginseng?" Ye Huan'er asked curiously.

“That’s not true. It’s just that your sister daydreams every day that she can dig up ginseng on the mountain,” Ye Caiping said.

Ye Huan'er chuckled.

Ye Jin'er frowned, so anxious she could hardly sit still.

She didn't understand why her mother wasn't in a hurry, and why she even lied to her younger sister.

"Here, this is your pocket money." Just like yesterday, Ye Caiping gave each of them 3 coins. "Go and have some fun!"

Ye Huan'er chuckled and stuffed the bag into Ye Caiping's hand: "Mother, save it for me. I'm going to catch grasshoppers with Yinhua."

After saying that, he ran out of the room.

Ye Caiping watched her retreating figure, then smiled and shook her head.

"Mother, ginseng..." Ye Jin'er was almost frantic.

"Don't mention ginseng anymore." Ye Caiping didn't know how to explain it to her for a moment, then said after thinking for a while, "I think... something will happen on the other side of the mountain soon."

"ah?"

Just then, someone outside suddenly shouted, "Hey, there's a huge python on the mountain! It's huge, over ten feet long! Anyone want to come with me to catch it?"

"Holy crap! Holy crap!" It was Ye Daquan's voice. "Where's the snake?"

"Over by the jujube tree."

Ye Jin'er stared blankly at Ye Daquan running out the window.

The ginseng is not far from the jujube tree.

Ye Caiping curled her lips in a mocking smile.

They had discovered ginseng long ago, but according to the book, they hadn't managed to dig it up yet, insisting on waiting until tomorrow. There must have been various reasons hindering their progress.

"So something really happened." Ye Jin'er looked dejected. "Then why didn't Mother tell my sister the truth just now?"

"She's too young; I'm afraid it might get out."

Ye Caiping still trusted Huan'er. She didn't tell the truth simply because she didn't want another person coveting something that didn't belong to them.

Ye Caiping also considered digging up the ginseng before the female lead.

But she knew she wouldn't be able to get up the mountain before tomorrow.

And tomorrow... will be the day of death for her and Jin'er!

She didn't want to risk their lives for a single ginseng root.

“We haven’t washed our clothes yet, let’s go to the river to wash them. Oh, right, and the wooden bucket and bowls from the spicy soup vendor this morning,” Ye Caiping said.

The mother and daughter tidied up and then went to the river to wash their things.

The place Ye Caiping chose was the same place where her family soaked cassava.

The two had just reached the riverbank when they heard a cry of surprise.

As Ye Caiping approached, she saw Tie Niu's wife, Zhu Zi's wife, and two boys who looked to be around ten years old.

Ye Caiping recognized the two boys as her cousin Ye Sanquan's sons, named Ye Xing and Ye Wang.

Several people were standing on the shore, looking nervously into the water.

"Brother Yong, keep going! Are you still breathing?" Ye Xing called out.

"You brat, what nonsense are you talking about? We're ashore!" Tie Niu's wife glared at him.

Ye Caiping walked over and saw Ye Yong rummaging in the water, dragging someone along; the clothes looked like those of a girl.

A short while later, Ye Yong reached the shore, and the girl was also pulled ashore and placed on the grass.

"Xiuxiu? Xiuxiu, what's wrong with you?" Ye Yong kept slapping her face.

A moment later, Hu Xiuxiu vomited up the water in her stomach and nodded weakly, "I...I'm fine. It's all thanks to you, thank you..."

"Quickly, put on a coat. Let's go home first." Tie Niu's wife quickly took off her outer garment and draped it over Hu Xiuxiu's shoulders.

Hu Xiuxiu shivered from the cold; the autumn water was very cold.

She was helped to her feet by Tie Niu's wife, glanced back at Ye Yong, and then left.

"What happened?" Ye Jin'er had a rough idea of ​​what was going on, but still asked.

"Oh, it's Caiping." Zhu Zi's wife came over.

Ye Yong and the two boys from the Sanquan family immediately called out "Auntie, Auntie!"

"Let me tell you... Just now, I was washing clothes with Tie Niu's family, Xiu Xiu, and me. One of Xiu Xiu's clothes floated away, and when she tried to pick it up, she slipped and fell into the water. Your Yong'er pulled her out..."

As she spoke, Zhu Zi's wife, unable to suppress her smile, leaned close to Ye Caiping's ear and whispered:

"Your nephew and Xiuxiu are getting married."

Du Zi's wife had heard some rumors about the affair between Ye Yong and Hu Xiuxiu.
