Wu Weiyi, who had been observing the Ye family from behind, suddenly changed his expression. Wasn't this a slap in his own face?
Ye Cuihua didn't speak, but held Ye Panjiu's warm hand tighter.
Upon entering the main room, Wu Weiyi's eyes lit up even more.
The Ye family's new house looks very grand from the outside, with its blue bricks and large tiles, but it's even more impressive once you go inside.
The carvings are exquisite, the windows are bright and the tables are clean. Even though it's such a cold winter day, there are four charcoal burners in the room, making it very warm.
It wasn't like this last time I visited the Ye family. The whole family just burned firewood in the kitchen, and he even caught a cold during the New Year.
Wu Weiyi's eyes darted around, "Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, Uncle, Aunt, this new house is really magnificent!"
Sun snorted coldly, "That's right, they really don't care about Cuihua enough, but at least they still reserved a room for her separately."
The winter worship ceremony is something everyone goes out to do, and Ye Family Village isn't very big, so they don't come back late.
Once she arrived and took a walk around the village, the Ye family would definitely come back. It was Wu Weiyi who kept nagging and nitpicking, and she found his nonsense annoying.
Wu Weiyi smiled awkwardly, "Auntie, you're joking. I misspoke just now."
Madam Liu frowned as she looked at Wu Hao, who was still sitting on Ye Cuihua's lap. "Hao'er, it's not cold inside anymore. Come down and play with your sisters."
Wu Hao is a bit chubby compared to other boys his age. It must be tiring to carry him like this all the time.
Wu Hao shrieked, "The Ye family are all filthy and smelly, I don't want to play with them!"
Ye Cuihua stared wide-eyed in disbelief, about to put Wu Hao down.
Wu Hao held on to her tightly, kicking wildly and yelling.
The Ye family members' faces all turned cold.
Wu Weiyi strode forward and slapped Wu Hao hard across the face, saying, "You're not young anymore, where did you learn such foul language!"
Wu Hao's face swelled up, and tears streamed down his face from the pain. "It was clearly Dad and Grandma who said it..."
Wu Weiyi's face darkened further, and he slapped him across the face again. "I'll teach you to lie at such a young age! I'll teach you to talk! I'll teach you to talk!"
Just as the third slap was about to land, Ye Cuihua blocked it with her own body.
He slapped her.
Ye Panjiu looked at it and shook her head inwardly.
What an awful family!
Ye Daniu slammed his hand on the table, stood up, grabbed Wu Weiyi by the collar, and kicked him. "On such a holiday, you're beating your wife and your child. What kind of skill do you have, Wu?"
With tears welling up in her eyes, Liu tried to stop her, saying, "Alright, if you make a scene now, what will you do later? We're all family."
She knew that Cuihua was not doing well in the Wu family because Cuihua had not received the clothes she had given her.
Now we can beat up that guy surnamed Wu, but what happens next?
The couple already have two children, how could Cuihua not want children?
Ye Cuihua hugged Wu Hao and wiped away his tears.
When Wu Hao saw that Wu Weiyi had been beaten and had tears on his face, he smiled.
He's happy whenever someone hits his father!
He was beaten by Wu Weiyi every two days, and every three days, so these two slaps were nothing.
He hated all adults, except his mother.
Therefore, he must never leave his mother's side.
Ye Cuihua quickly covered his face to prevent others from seeing.
Ye Panjiu saw it, and realized that she hated her father so much at such a young age.
Ye Daniu was so angry that his chest heaved. He hadn't held back at all when he kicked him.
From the moment he saw Cuihua, he had been holding back his anger.
Wu Weiyi clutched his stomach, wincing in pain.
Old Ye stepped forward and helped him up. "Are you alright? My son is just stubborn, don't take it to heart. Pan Jiu, quickly bring some gifts for them to see."
Ye Panjiu responded and got up to walk outside.
When I was sorting out the gifts earlier, I prepared a bunch of gifts for Cuihua to take home.
Liu quickly followed.
"Little sister, you're the most resourceful! Sister-in-law, please, help Cuihua!"
She covered her mouth, her voice choked with sobs.
Ye Panjiu quickly poured her a cup of tea. "Sister-in-law, don't cry. I think Wu Weiyi is very greedy for money. He's easy to manipulate. Don't worry."
Madam Liu held her tea but didn't drink it. "Cuihua is soft-hearted and would never be able to leave her child. I don't want her to stay in the Wu family anymore. I'd rather support her for the rest of my life and save enough money for her."
She didn't conceive again for six years after giving birth to Cuihua.
The Ye family didn't say anything, but her maternal family would tell her every time that it was no big deal to have a daughter, and that she should hurry up and have another child. She had to have a son in order to gain a foothold in the Ye family.
She lived a very repressed life. She was already taciturn and had a sensitive and weak personality. Ye Cuihua, who was by her side, also developed this personality.
They endure adversity without complaint, bearing all suffering with forbearance.
Ye Panjiu gripped her hand tightly. "Sister-in-law, I need to talk to Cuihua about this. Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
To be honest, Ye Cuihua's marriage to the Wu family was partly due to the original owner of this body.
The original owner transferred all the Ye family's money to the Du family, leaving the Ye family struggling and facing financial difficulties.
Ye Cuihua was thin and short, and not good-looking. Liu had given birth to two daughters in a row, so no one wanted to marry Ye Cuihua.
Finally, they found a matchmaker named Li to act as their go-between. The Ye family had no choice but to compromise on the bride price and lower it. As soon as they heard this, the Wu family from the neighboring village came to propose marriage.
Before the wedding, the Wu family acted extremely humble, flattering Ye Cuihua and doing everything they could to please her, except that they said they were poor and didn't have much money, and in the end they only gave a token dowry of one or two taels of silver.
This is the lowest bride price in Yejiacun Village.
Unexpectedly, once Ye Cuihua married into the Wu family, their ugly faces could no longer be hidden.
The mother-in-law fawned over the powerful and flattered the weak, her eyes lighting up at the sight of money; she relentlessly rubbed Ye Cuihua in the face.
Ye Cuihua had to wash all the family's clothes and do all the dirty and tiring work.
The Wu family was overjoyed when Ye Cuihua gave birth to a son, and their lives improved slightly.
After giving birth to a daughter, she returned to her old ways. Despite being a daughter-in-law, she was treated like a slave in the Wu family.
Seeing this, Liu could only weep silently. The Ye family was starving to death; how could she possibly help Ye Cuihua?
So once she had money, she immediately went to find her daughter.
Ye Panjiu hugged Liu Shi, "Sister-in-law, you mustn't cry. It's too painful for Cuihua to see. Let's get through the winter solstice properly first."
Liu nodded, drank the cooled tea in one gulp, and suppressed the heartache that welled up in her chest.
The two of them walked into the house with their four hands full of things.
Wu Weiyi's face, which had been dark, broke into a smile upon seeing these.
So many things, they don't look cheap at all.
The things my mother-in-law brought to his family last time were not cheap; there were even 500 coins in them!
With this money, Mother bought new clothes for everyone in the family, except for Ye Cuihua and her daughter.
Doing so much work every day, it's a waste to wear nice clothes.
Ye Panjiu placed the gifts on the table. "Nephew-in-law, these are all food and fabrics I bought in the county. Please keep them safe."
