Upon seeing Ye Panjiu, Madam Sun stomped her foot in anger, "I knew I shouldn't have sent it to her! The Four Seas Bowl, if sold, would fetch at least two hundred taels of silver, and she was disgusted by it!"
"You have no idea, this widow Dong even seduced your older brother. If someone hadn't happened to be passing by at the time, your older brother would have been in deep trouble no matter what! And it's not just your older brother, she's seduced quite a few others, and she's spoiled her two sons, who are now doing all sorts of bad things!"
Ye Panjiu narrowed her eyes upon hearing this.
The eldest brother is not good at talking. If Widow Dong really sticks around, what will happen to his sister-in-law and Guihua?
The Ye family must be feeling incredibly distressed.
"Disliked by everyone, hated by even dogs!"
Sun became increasingly angry as she spoke, "No, I have to go in and teach those two brats a lesson!"
Ye Panjiu took her arm and said, "Alright, Second Sister-in-law, calm down. It's already like this, let's just consider it a good deed and go to the next place."
Ye Taohua stood pitifully to the side, saying, "Second Aunt, my arm hurts so much. Let's hurry up and finish delivering this and go home."
Looking at the mother and daughter, Madam Sun finally felt sorry for Ye Taohua's bruised arm. "Poor thing, your second aunt will go home and get some of my family's best medicinal wine to rub on it. It will make the pain go away."
Ye Taohua nodded obediently, "Mother, I feel sad when I see that little girl."
This little girl is just like she used to be; her father and mother didn't love her, she was often beaten, and she was often hungry.
Ye Panjiu sighed and patted her head.
Sun spoke quickly, "I'm heartbroken too. Ling'er is seven years old, but she's nowhere near seven! She's skin and bones, and her sleeves are way too short! She's covered in bruises. Widow Dong is truly despicable!"
Ye Panjiu patted her hand, signaling her to stop talking.
After the three of them finished delivering the remaining braised food, they had delivered to one-third of the households in Ye Family Village.
As soon as they returned to the Ye family home, Madam Sun went to get some medicinal wine to wipe Ye Taohua's arms.
The entire Ye family gathered around.
"Why is it so green? Peach Blossom, have a piece of candy and it won't hurt anymore." Ye Erniu pampered her and fed her a piece of osmanthus candy.
Ye Guihua also quietly took Ye Taohua's hand and gently squeezed it.
She was a year older than Peach Blossom, and having spent so much time together, Peach Blossom was like her younger sister.
With so many people watching, Ye Taohua, who initially didn't think there was anything wrong with being touched, started to feel a little aggrieved. She ate her candy without saying a word.
"It's that widow Dong again! Just thinking about her makes me sick. My little sister put a bowl of braised food on the table, and those two brats squeezed over and bumped Peach Blossom's arm right onto the table!"
As Mrs. Sun spoke with great enthusiasm, she accidentally rubbed the fabric too hard.
Tears streamed down Ye Taohua's face from the pain.
Ye Panjiu felt heartbroken watching this, so she quickly snatched her daughter's arm from Sun's hands and started rubbing it herself, saying, "Sweetie, it won't hurt anymore if Mom rubs it."
Ye Taohua slumped into Ye Panjiu's arms.
Mother is still the best.
Sun looked at Ye Taohua with a guilty expression, "Taohua, your second aunt didn't mean it."
God knows how much her two sons wanted a daughter, but they were too old to have one.
She really loves the osmanthus and peach blossoms.
Ye Taohua raised her head and shook it, saying obediently, "I'm fine, Second Aunt."
Grandma Ye grabbed Sun Shi anxiously, "And then what? Didn't you teach those two brats a lesson?"
Sun rolled her eyes upwards forcefully. "Don't even mention it! And you're still scolding me? There were three bowls of braised food in my little sister's bamboo basket, and those two brats just reached into the bowls and rummaged through them. Now there's nothing left to eat!"
Grandma Ye nearly choked on her breath, "Three bowls?!"
As she was saying this, she was about to stand up and walk out. When her daughter was packing the braised food, she said to take a smaller bowl, as there were too many large bowls.
They ended up being extorted for three bowls of food!
"Mother, forget it, we really can't eat that, and we can't give it away either," Ye Panjiu advised.
Grandma Ye clapped her hands excitedly, "I have to go get those bowls back! So many bowls!"
Other families either returned the bowls immediately or remembered them later and returned them to the Ye family.
In this widow Dong's house alone, there were a full four bowls!
Ye Panjiu choked for a moment and didn't try to persuade her anymore.
She hadn't even considered the bowl...
After massaging Ye Taohua for a while, Ye Panjiu and Sun Shi carried bamboo baskets to deliver braised goods to other households.
Ye Taohua didn't follow them anymore; she stayed home to help with chores.
Before even entering Widow Dong's house, Old Lady Ye said from the doorway, "Four real large bowls, there are many people in the family."
Widow Dong was a little embarrassed. She hurriedly went into the house, took out four stacked bowls, and returned them. She said softly, "Look at my memory, I completely forgot about them."
Grandma Ye looked at the unwashed bowls, her face darkening further. "Everyone washes their bowls before they're done. You have to earn your own reputation!"
Widow Dong's smile froze.
Old Mrs. Ye snorted coldly and walked towards her own home.
If she's lived to this age and still can't see through this widow's wicked intentions, then she's truly lived in vain.
After Ye Panjiu and her companion saw them off for the last time, they returned home and found the wooden table already laden with dishes.
Most of the dishes were meat, and the variety was exceptionally rich.
When Old Man Ye saw his daughter, he called out, "You're back. Everyone, come to the table."
Liu removed the scarf from her body and said somewhat embarrassedly, "My cooking skills are not very good. If you don't like anything about the food, I will pay attention next time."
Ye Panjiu brought out two jugs of wine from the house with a smile, poured herself a cup, and raised it to Liu Shi.
"Sister-in-law, let me toast you. Thank you for working so hard to prepare such a delicious meal."
Liu's face turned red. She picked up the wine and drank it down in one gulp without saying a word.
Ye Daniu stared blankly at his wife. He hadn't even had a drink with her yet, but he hadn't expected her to drink so heavily.
"Sister-in-law, don't drink so fast, eat some meat first." Ye Panjiu was startled.
Liu smiled and said, "It's alright, little sister. Your sister-in-law has a very high alcohol tolerance."
The Ye family was stunned.
This usually silent woman claims she has a high alcohol tolerance.
Ye Erniu took a pot and poured a cup for Old Man Ye, then poured one for himself. He picked up his glass and said, "Since you say so, Sister-in-law, I'd like to have a drinking contest with you."
Sun glared at him and pushed the cup towards him. "What's the point of competing? We're having a family meal. Just drink until you're satisfied. If you dare to drink too much, you'll be sleeping with your son tonight."
Ye Lei's head spun for a moment, then she looked at her father and said, "Dad, Mom is right, drink in moderation. Grandma, you should also tell Dad what to do."
Old Mrs. Ye was too lazy to get involved in the affairs of the second branch of the family. She poured herself a glass of wine and took a small sip.
"This wine is delicious, it's refreshing, and it has a sweet aftertaste without being too harsh on the throat."
She took another sip as she spoke.
Ye Panjiu also took a small sip, then put it down.
This wine is nothing compared to the plum wine that Su Yan treated her to that day.
Now that I think about it, I took a sip of that plum wine, what a waste.
I wonder what Su Yan is doing right now.
"What kind of wine did you buy, little sister?" Ye Daniu asked.
