Besides Ye Panjiu and Ye Taohua, he was the only one in the family who knew how to ride a horse. He was really interested in it, so every night he would pull Taohua aside to teach him.
He was already tall, and on horseback he appeared even more imposing, his cold eyes looking down at Wu Weiyi. "Get on."
Wu Weiyi looked at his calves and trembled. He still remembered the kick his father-in-law had given him, and his stomach still hurt. What if he was thrown off the horse?
Ye Panjiu gave Yan Yu a look, and Yan Yu immediately leaped up, grabbed Wu Weiyi like a chicken, and threw him onto the horse's back.
"Ahhh!" Wu Weiyi screamed in fright.
Ye Daniu frowned. "Hold on tight, or don't blame me if you fall."
Wu Hao smiled broadly at the scene. If Wu Weiyi hadn't been there, he would have even clapped his hands and given a round of applause.
Ye Cuihua felt relieved watching this; such an incompetent man deserved to be tormented like this.
As soon as Ye Daniu pulled on the reins, the horse took off running, and Wu Weiyi clung to Ye Daniu tightly like an octopus.
Ye Daniu frowned, but didn't say anything more.
The horse ran very fast, and Wu Weiyi's buttocks were sore from being bounced around.
This was definitely the most memorable winter solstice of his life.
After Wu Weiyi disappeared from the Ye family, Ye Cuihua visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Nannan laughed too, and Wu Hao grinned from ear to ear.
Ye Cuihua tentatively said to Wu Hao, "We're not going back to the Wu family until tomorrow. Your father won't be back. Why don't you go have some fun by yourself?"
Wu Hao's eyes widened. "He's really not coming back?"
Heng Tong coldly uttered a single word, "Hmm."
Wu Hao, however, was not afraid of her at all. He excitedly jumped up, ran to Ye Panjiu, and touched her stone-blue silk-embroidered gray squirrel cloak. "Aunt, this looks beautiful and feels so comfortable."
Ye Panjiu patted his head, "If Hao'er is good, I'll buy it for you."
Wu Hao blinked. "Really? My dad's not here, I'll definitely be obedient."
Ye Panjiu felt very sorry for her. Children can't choose their parents, and it's truly unfortunate to have a father like that.
At such a young age, she already knows how to please her father to avoid being beaten. It's heartbreaking.
"Of course, I never lie."
Ye Ling'er led Nannan over and said, "Little brother, let's go out and play. It's so lively outside."
Wu Hao nodded vigorously and took her hand. "I'll listen to Sister Ling'er."
After the children left, Madam Liu looked nervously at Ye Panjiu.
She was in a hurry, but she didn't want to keep asking questions and put pressure on her younger sister.
Ye Panjiu sipped her tea. "Wait for my brother. When he comes back, I'll tell you my plan."
Ye Cuihua and Liu Shi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise.
When Ye Panjiu saw Ye Cuihua like this, she understood that the girl had not been successfully brainwashed by the Wu family and still wanted to go back to her parents' home to live a good life.
Unlike the original owner, who was completely clueless.
After Ye Daniu returned home, Grandma Ye asked nervously, "Eldest son, you didn't drop him, did you?"
They are in-laws after all; we can't treat them like this.
Ye Daniu shook his head, "I safely delivered him to the Wu family and then came back."
However, he rode very fast and deliberately made the horse ride on a bumpy road, which scared Wu Weiyi so much that he screamed on the horse's back and his buttocks were sore from being bounced around.
This is nothing compared to the suffering his daughter endured!
Ye Panjiu spoke up, "We can do it like this..."
Sun's eyes sparkled. "Little sister, you're so clever! I can already imagine how furious the Wu family will be!"
Ye Daniu snorted coldly, "If the Wu family had any conscience, they wouldn't have let this go smoothly. They deserve it!"
Madam Liu was quite nervous. "Little sister, this is a good idea, but what if the Wu family doesn't take the bait?"
Ye Daniu patted her shoulder, "Everyone in the Wu family is greedy for money. They wouldn't be Wu if they didn't take the bait. Don't worry."
Ye Panjiu nodded, "Big brother is right. Just making him work for a year would shut him up and make him suffer, let alone real money."
"Cuihua, you just stay home and don't take the children back. We'll talk about it when the Wu family can't sit still anymore."
Ye Cuihua nodded, "Auntie, I'll listen to you."
Hearing these words, Liu was so happy that she burst into tears. Ye Dani wiped her tears, saying, "My daughter can escape this hellhole now, don't cry."
God knows, the couple felt an indescribable tightness and pain in their hearts whenever they thought of Cuihua.
Sun patted Liu and said, "Sister-in-law, brother, you two should have a good chat with Cuihua today. Leave the braised food to Erniu and me."
Liu looked at Sun gratefully, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
She really wanted to have a proper talk with Cuihua.
Ye Daniu was very grateful.
Ye Panjiu rolled up her sleeves. "I'll join in too. Let's make a couple more snacks tonight. I have a jar of good wine here, we'll drink it tonight."
When Old Man Ye and Ye Erniu heard this, their eyes lit up.
Ye Erniu rubbed his hands together and asked, "Little sister, where's the good wine? Let me take a look."
Sun pinched his ear and led him toward the kitchen, saying, "I think you're asking for trouble."
The Ye family watched, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Grandma Ye glanced at Grandpa Ye, and for some reason Grandpa Ye felt guilty. He coughed twice and said, "I'll go chop some firewood."
Wang Jiao pulled Ye Lei along to the kitchen to help.
The four members of the eldest son's family chatted inside for a long time, and Ye Guihua came out twice to refill their water.
As the sun set, Ye Panjiu pulled her aside, saying, "Guihua, we all still want to eat the food our sister-in-law cooks."
Just then, Liu led Ye Cuihua into the kitchen, her eyes and brows beaming with smiles. "I'll do it, I want to cook too."
She finds cooking very therapeutic, especially when someone helps out by washing vegetables and dishes.
Ye Cuihua rolled up her sleeves. "I'll show off my skills today and cook two dishes. I'm a good cook too."
Mrs. Liu patted her head and said, "My daughter is amazing now."
Ye Panjiu smiled and said, "Then I'll look forward to it. I'll go call the children home."
As she spoke, she turned and left the kitchen, holding a hand warmer in her hand.
It snowed all day on the winter solstice, and everything was crystal clear and beautiful.
Ye Panjiu walked briskly towards her door. Three months had passed since she arrived, and life was getting better and better.
In this small village of Ye, the relationships between people are exceptionally close, and most are very simple, kind, and full of happiness.
Ye Ling'er and Nannan each held one of Wu Hao's hands, and the three of them, along with other children, slid on the snow.
Laughter echoed everywhere.
Ye Taohua became Heng Tong's shadow, following him wherever he went.
Heng Tong was sitting on the eaves of the Ye family's house. Ye Taohua couldn't climb up, so she stood on the ground and stomped her feet. "Master Heng Tong, please teach me! I can endure a lot of hardship!"
Heng Tong patted the person next to her and said, "We'll talk about it once you can come up."
Ye Taohua scratched her head vigorously, her neatly combed hair from the morning now a mess, but all she could think about was climbing up.
"Alright, alright, everyone go home, wash your hands, and eat," Ye Panjiu called out with a smile.
