Ye Panjiu put down the charcoal and stood up. "I was wrong before because I was ignorant and was blinded by that beast Du Pengzhi. I am sorry to everyone."
After she finished speaking, she bent down and gave a sincere bow.
Sun was so startled that she jumped back. Was this really the sister-in-law she knew?
She actually apologized?
Not only Sun, but everyone else was also somewhat frightened.
Ye Erniu helped Ye Panjiu up and glared fiercely at Madam Sun, "Are you satisfied now?! My little sister has already apologized, what more do you want?!"
Ye Panjiu was speechless. Who said that if you apologize, others have to forgive you? This sister-supporting demon is really something else.
From the original owner's perspective, having such an older brother must have been a blessing, but from the perspective of the sister-in-law and nephew, it was a complete disaster.
Since their marriage, Ye Erniu had never been so fierce to Sun Shi. Sun Shi stared at him in astonishment, her eyes wide with disbelief.
Ye Ming stepped forward, supporting the slightly swaying Madam Sun, and asked with a wry smile, "Yes, Aunt apologized, so we have to forgive her as if nothing happened, is that what Father means?"
Ye Panjiu looked at the mother and son's red eyes and sighed softly, "Second brother, apologize to your wife. No matter what, you shouldn't have been so harsh on her."
Ye Erniu was stunned. "But... little sister, you used to talk to her like this. You still make me treat her like an outsider."
Ye Panjiu's face flushed bright red, and she wished she could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
The original owner would often lecture her two older brothers, saying that their sister-in-law was an outsider, didn't have the surname Ye, and shouldn't be taken too seriously.
Ye Erniu took these words to heart.
“Now that my sister-in-law has married you, she is a member of our Ye family, not an outsider. I was wrong before.”
Sun finally realized what was happening and slapped Ye Erniu on the back, saying, "You think you're so great, daring to talk to me like that!"
Ye Ming and Ye Lei quickly stepped forward and pulled Sun away.
"What kind of nonsense is this? If you don't want to get involved, then don't interfere!" Old Man Ye shouted with a stern face.
Ye Panjiu took a deep breath and said firmly, "I have never burned charcoal before, but it's not difficult. If I fail once, I'll try again. I'm not afraid of failure."
Before Mrs. Sun could say anything more, Ye Ming interrupted, "It's good that you have such good intentions, Aunt. We won't stay any longer."
The fact that she could say such things shows that her aunt has indeed changed, but he doesn't believe that she can stick to what she says she can after being like this for more than 20 years.
After saying that, he pulled his mother back into the house.
Ye Lei, who had been silent, followed the two of them.
He also resented Ye Panjiu; if it weren't for her, his family wouldn't be in such a difficult situation.
Although Liu and Ye Guihua did not leave, they retreated a bit and sat down with Old Lady Ye, taking their needle and thread.
Grandma Ye looked at her daughter, then at her two grandsons, and didn't know what to say.
This family has truly neglected their two grandsons too much because of their daughter...
Ye Daniu looked at Ye Panjiu, then at his wife and daughter, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally brought down the shovel.
Ye Panjiu saw all of this and felt bad, but she knew there was no time to be sad now.
She then gathered a pile of straw and dry branches and placed them in the stone circle.
The tinderbox was lit again, and a bright red flame ignited, but several pairs of expectant eyes were no longer there.
Ye Panjiu dug up a basin of dry fine sand. She remembered learning in chemistry class how to extinguish a fire with sand.
Ye Panjiu watched the firewood intently; the different thicknesses and locations of the firewood meant they burned for different times.
Once the firewood had burned sufficiently, Ye Panjiu picked out the charcoal and put it into the fine sand.
The fire went out quickly. She used two sticks to pick out the charcoal, tapped it with the sticks, but it wouldn't break!
Moreover, the pieces were more intact and larger than those extinguished with water.
This is good charcoal, it's done!
Ye Panjiu didn't care about anything else and continued to keep an eye on the still-burning firewood.
When only a few embers remained, this time all the firewood burned into good charcoal.
Ye Panjiu excitedly brushed the ash off her hands, "It's done, all good charcoal."
The charcoal pits for Ye Daniu and Ye Erniu have been dug, and the yellow mud has almost dried.
"Come on, let me tell you how to make charcoal." Ye Panjiu beckoned.
Not only the two brothers and Old Man Ye, but Old Man Ye and Madam Liu also gathered around.
The charcoal that's been burned is worth its weight in silver; who wouldn't want to learn how to make it?
Ye Panjiu explained in great detail that apart from Ye Ming and herself, the rest of the Ye family members were illiterate and could only speak.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Ye Erniu impatiently rolled up his sleeves, "Don't anyone try to take it from me, I'll try first!"
He carefully placed the straw down, then looked nervously at Ye Panjiu, "Little sister, you'd better keep an eye on things for me."
"Second Brother, no problem!" Ye Panjiu replied without turning his head as he busied himself stuffing firewood into the charcoal pit.
Ye Erniu: "..."
He listened to it only once, and he was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to do anything. Ye Erniu gritted his teeth and lit the fire.
There is absolutely no way to succeed if you don't try.
Ye Daniu rubbed his rough hands together and, without hesitation, set up a fire nearby.
He had already decided that he must earn more money and absolutely could not let his younger sister leave this family.
Ye Panjiu filled the charcoal kiln with firewood and lit a fire at the air inlet.
White smoke billowed out from the pre-installed chimney, but Ye Panjiu dared not be careless. The smoke was extremely hot, and if there were any flammable materials, it would catch fire instantly.
Ye Taohua yawned beside her; she usually went to bed early.
Others may choose not to stay with their mother, but she cannot.
Ye Panjiu patted her head. "Go back to sleep. I'll go back as soon as I'm done here."
