Before this, Ye Zhen never dreamed that one day she would marry such a man.
Even though his appearance may seem unsophisticated to people in later generations, he is the brightest guy in the village now.
"Xie Linan is not working as a handyman in the dam, and he is also paying people. He is the boss."
"Hey, how much money does that cost? Look at the table, there's so much money, I'm afraid I can't spend it all in my lifetime."
"My God, that fool from the Ye family got lucky this time and made a fortune."
"Ye Zhengguo, your evil son-in-law... Bah, your son-in-law has become a boss and made a fortune."
Of course Ye Zhengguo saw it. How could he handle so much money on the table? He was stunned.
"Dad, Dad!" Ye Xiaoqiang excited Wan Dong and pulled him vigorously.
"I know, don't pull me."
To Ye Xiaoqiang, his two sisters are his bank. When he looks at the pile of money on the table, he feels like it belongs to him.
Seeing Xie Linan constantly counting money to give to others made him feel very sad.
At this time, someone said, "I say, Xie Linan is rich now, can he be interested in a fool?"
Ye Zhengguo was stunned.
Ye Xiaoqiang looked at the person who was speaking, "What are you talking about? Why do you look down on me? I will treat you to a banquet in a few days."
Ye Zhengguo said: "Don't think my Xiaozhen is stupid, but my Xiaozhen is prosperous. If it weren't for my Xiaozhen, he would still be a bachelor now, and whoever he marries would die."
This matter is mysterious, but everyone thinks it makes some sense.
Although you may be jealous of such wealth, you have to live long enough to enjoy it.
Ye Xiaoqiang glanced at those young ladies and wives, and seeing their envious and troubled looks, he knew what they were planning.
He smiled and said, "Not everyone has the fortune and wealth of my elder sister. It's useless for you to be jealous."
The eldest girl and her wife: "..."
Soon someone said to him, "You are talking as if envy is of some use. Everyone knows that your family doesn't treat your eldest sister as a human being at all."
Ye Xiaoqiang was not annoyed, he just smiled and said: "How can family members hold grudges overnight? No matter what, she is my biological sister, my father's biological daughter, even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected."
This statement gave Ye Zhengguo great confidence, and he highly praised Ye Xiaoqiang's statement.
"That's right. Is it abnormal for parents to spank and scold their children? Who hasn't been spanked and scolded when they were a child? You can't hold a grudge." He looked at Ye Xiaozhen beside Xie Linan and said, "No matter how I treat her, she is still my daughter."
Seeing that this statement did not attack them, everyone changed their statement.
"Oh, your daughter is a fool. She doesn't even know money, right? That's it. Did Xie Linan let her manage the money? She just works for Xie Linan to make a living. He treats her like a cat or a dog and wants her to have a child to carry on the family line. She can't handle the wealth."
This is a hard wound. Ye Zhengguo and Ye Xiaoqiang are very clear that Ye Xiaozhen is a person who doesn't even know money, because she has never touched money since she was a child.
The two stopped talking and just stared at the piles of money on the table. As they watched them become less and less, the long line finally came to an end.
Xie Linan threw the pen on the table, closed his wallet, put the remaining money on the table, and said to the people who received the money: "That's all. You can go back quickly after taking the money. Remember to come to the wedding in a few days."
"Hey, Brother Lin An, thank you."
"Congratulations."
Everyone thanked him and said goodbye.
At this time, Ye Xiaozhen grabbed his arm and stared at the money on the table, "Brother, where is mine?"
Xie Linan suddenly remembered that the last time Xiaozhen saw him recording his working hours, she said she wanted a copy.
He didn't think much about it and agreed on the spot just to make her happy, but he didn't expect she still remembered it.
He rubbed her head and said, "You're not stupid. You're getting smarter."
He gave all the remaining money to Ye Xiaozhen, "Here, it's all yours, keep it."
Ye Xiaozhen happily entered the house holding the money.
Everyone was shocked to see it.
"Just for show?"
"You didn't really give it to her, did you?"
"I must be teasing her. I'll have to take it back soon."
"Nonsense, you must be teasing her. How can you give so much money to a fool?"
Yes...On second thought, the fact that someone could spend so much money to amuse a fool clearly shows that he likes the fool.
Are they just given food to eat and treated like cats and dogs?
Everyone is jealous.
Only Ye Zhengguo and Ye Xiaoqiang showed greedy eyes.
…
Lin Xinghua was not very happy with Xie Lin An's behavior of paying wages in person, and felt that he was too ostentatious.
"Why don't you just give it to them privately? Why do you have to let everyone know?"
Xie Linan chopped wood while saying calmly, "It turns out that some people think I am unfair, some get more, some get less. I put them together so that everyone can see who gets how much, and they have nothing to say. They are sneaking around and I don't know how much they get. When I take on projects in the future, I will need these people to work with me."
"The people in that village..."
"What's wrong with the people in the village? Grandpa, you have been looked down upon all your life. How many times have we brothers been looked down upon? Why? Aren't they all poor?"
Lin Xinghua smacked his cigarette, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a mosquito.
Xie Linan said: "I'm getting married soon. Do you know how people laugh at me and Xiaozhen in private? They laugh at me for being unlucky in marriage and being born alone. It doesn't matter, but I can't let Xiaozhen be looked down upon by others by following me. I just want to let them see that Xiaozhen can live a good life with me."
As he was speaking, he swung the axe and split a thick firewood into two halves. This blow of the axe seemed to be a vent of anger.
Of course, they would be getting married in a few days, and cooking so many dishes would require a lot of firewood, so he really had to chop more.
"Grandpa, we can live a good life that the whole village envy. There is nothing to hide. Looking back, everyone in the village of Shili knows that they can make money by following me. It will be easier to get projects if I am famous. Your old ideas are not suitable for now. You have to change them."
Lin Xinghua said nothing, but sighed: "Maybe I am really old, you have all grown up and don't need me anymore."
After saying this, he stood up, holding onto the wall, and walked into the house.
They were once fatherless and motherless brothers who depended on him to grow up, and he was looking forward to their growing up.
Now that he saw that they had really grown up, he was losing his role little by little, and there was an indescribable loneliness in his heart.
Especially when he saw his eldest grandson getting better and better and becoming more and more independent, he felt more and more useless.
Xie Linan frowned. In fact, he somewhat understood his grandfather's thoughts. He thought that this was probably the journey that every old person had to go through.
Now he can hold up a roof for his family. Maybe in the future he will be like the grandfather today, stepping down from the roof that protects against wind and rain.
He threw down the axe and shouted to Lin Xinghua, "Grandpa, take two bottles of wine to the village chief's house and ask him to help preside over the wedding."
Lin Xinghua was slightly stunned, then responded: "Okay, how about adding two more handfuls of noodles?"
"It's up to you."
"Why."
…
In the afternoon, Xie Linan took Ye Xiaozhen to the street. Before she could even warm up the money, he said he wanted to deposit it in the bank.
"It's not appropriate for us to keep so much money at home. We're getting married in a few days and it's easy to lose it under the scrutiny of people. It's better to put it in the bank."
Of course she has no objection to depositing the money in a bank.
But he didn't expect that the ID he gave to the counter clerk was his own.
Ye Xiaozhen looked at Xie Linan in surprise.
Xie Linan stared closely at the cashier who was counting money, fearing that he might have counted it wrong.
"It's 1,000 yuan. Is that okay?"
Xie Linan smiled and said, "No problem, please help me save it."
"Okay, the household name is Yeh 께 Zhen, right?"
“Yes, this is my wife.”
