Chapter 105: Generous
Ye Peng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject:
"Speaking of which, you guys are really going too far. You didn't even inform us about such a big thing as dividing the family and building a house."
"If uncle hadn't come to us last night and asked for leave to go back to the village to attend the wedding banquet, we wouldn't have known about it."
Wei smiled and said, "Aren't we all worried that it would affect your studies? Our house is made of blue bricks and tiles. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Ye Peng's eyes lit up.
Ye Xuan also wanted to see it, so the whole family went to the construction site again.
The house has already taken shape, and we just need to build about one meter more before we can put up the beams.
After looking at the second room’s, I went to see Ye Caiping’s.
Ye Xuan and the other two saw the rows of blue bricks, which looked majestic among the almost uniform mud houses.
On the way back, Ye Peng was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, which made Ye Xuan and Jinshan look envious.
The next day was Ye Wuquan’s wedding day.
As brothers, Old Man Ye and his family all went to help with the work.
Ye Caiping's sister-in-law and Old Lady Ye were washing vegetables when a loud voice sounded behind them:
"Aunt, sister-in-law and second sister-in-law."
"It's Fen who's back!" Old Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wei all stood up.
Ye Caiping turned around and saw a woman who was about 1.8 meters tall, dark and strong, walking towards her, smiling with her eyes curved.
This size... Ye Caiping couldn't help but gasp.
Immediately search the memory in your mind.
My eldest cousin, Ye Hufen!
This is Uncle Ye’s first child, one year younger than Ye Erquan.
Because she was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year of the Tiger, Uncle Ye and his wife hoped that their daughter would be a little more tiger-like, so they named her Hufen.
Ye Hufen doesn't have a fierce personality, but he has a fierce body. No one knows what he eats to grow up, but he is tall, strong and very powerful. I heard that he can plow three acres of land in one breath.
The original owner had looked down on her cousin Ye Hufen since she was a child, and laughed at her for being strong and ugly.
Especially after she got married, when they met occasionally, Ye Hufen called her the original owner, but the original owner always ignored her.
Every time that happened, Ye Hufen would just smile awkwardly and not get angry with the original owner.
"Isn't this Caiping?" Ye Hufen was a little surprised when he saw Ye Caiping.
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "Big sister is back."
Ye Hufen was stunned. Her younger sister actually spoke to her? Very happy!
"Hey, little sister, why are you washing vegetables here?" Yang Guangzong walked out from behind Ye Hufen.
He is Ye Hufen's husband. He has regular facial features but is short in stature. He wears a cotton-padded jacket with a copper coin pattern, which ordinary farmers would not wear. The clothes have become white and fuzzy due to washing, but he still wears them like a treasure.
In my memory, this brother-in-law is a scoundrel and not a decent person.
Without waiting for Ye Caiping to reply, Yang Guangzong continued, "Isn't that true? On my way here, I heard that you were divorced?"
The village where Yang Guangzong lived was very far away. It took three hours to walk there, and two hours to take a ox cart. So I don’t know Ye Caiping’s situation.
"Yeah, that's right." Ye Caiping responded, then turned around and continued washing the vegetables, not bothering to pay attention to him.
Yang Guangzong choked. This sister-in-law had always been very arrogant, and because she married a scholar, she looked down on him.
Now that she was divorced, he thought she would show her weakness, but unexpectedly, she still ignored him.
Yang Guangzong was secretly ashamed and annoyed. Ye Sanquan and Siquan had already arrived and pulled him into the house: "Brother-in-law, let's go and have a couple of drinks."
After Yang Guangzong left, Ye Hufen hurried over and wanted to wash the vegetables with Ye Caiping.
Mrs. Du said, "How can an aunt who comes back to visit relatives work? Hu Fen, go back to the room and sit down."
"What's the big deal? I can wash it just like my little sister does."
As he spoke, Ye Hufen picked up the vegetables on the ground and began to wash them quickly.
Ye Caiping knew that she was here to accompany her, so she said, "Sister, why are you so good-tempered? I treated you so badly before, but you still helped me."
Ye Hufen's dark face was slightly flushed, and he smiled innocently:
"That's nothing. You've been weak and sickly since you were little, so it's my duty as your elder sister to give you the upper hand. Before grandpa and grandma died, they held my hand and told me to take care of you."
The corners of Ye Caiping's mouth twitched.
The memories of the original owner's death came to mind. It seemed that in this family, apart from his parents and his eldest and second brothers, his grandparents also doted on the original owner.
Fortunately, Uncle Ye and his wife were clear-headed and did not accept PUA. They separated from the family immediately after grandpa and grandma died, otherwise, who knows what kind of harm they would have suffered at the hands of the original owner.
"Although my parents told me not to listen to my grandparents when I was a child, I still think I should listen to them," Ye Hufen continued.
Ye Caiping: “…”
This silly sister sold out both her parents in one go!
Ye Hufen washed the dishes for a while, and Yang Guangzong came out with a sullen face:
"Isn't it shameful that you're still working while visiting relatives? Duobao is back, why don't you go and see the kids!"
Ye Hufen looked at Ye Caiping apologetically and walked away dejectedly.
Old Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wei looked at Ye Hufen's back with some sympathy.
The dishes for the wedding banquet were all ready, and then Old Lady Ye said, "Alas, we forgot to give gifts."
"Now that we have time, let's go now."
Ye Caiping and her group walked into the main hall.
At this moment, Ye Wuquan had already gone to pick up the bride, and Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye, the future parents-in-law, finally had some free time.
The two of them were wearing brand new cotton-padded clothes and chatting with relatives in the house, and they couldn't stop smiling on their faces. .
Ye Hufen and Yang Guangzong were also there.
Next to Ye Hufen, there was a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old, tall and pretty. When she saw Ye Caiping and the others, she greeted them:
"Grandma, aunt, second aunt, and aunt."
Ye Caiping had no impression of this girl. There was nothing she could do about it. The original owner had never cared much about her mother's family, not to mention that she was her second uncle's cousin. She didn't even know how many children the other party had.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. Xiaoyan has grown into a big girl now." Mrs. Du said with a smile.
Yang Xiaoyan smiled shyly.
"His uncle and aunt were so busy that they forgot to give gifts," said Old Mrs. Ye.
"We are all family, so why should we give any gifts?" Second Aunt Ye smiled.
Yang Guangzong snorted and stood up: "I just forgot to follow, why didn't you remind me?"
As he said this, he glared at Ye Hufen.
Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye's faces froze for a moment, and they felt a little unhappy, but thinking about what a great day it was, they didn't say much.
Ye Hufen smiled and said nothing.
"Mom and Dad, this is from me." Yang Guangzong took out four strings of money, twenty cents in one string, and there were actually eighty cents here.
When farmers drink, no one has much money, so they usually give forty or fifty cents. But Yang Guangzong actually gave eighty cents.
The relatives present couldn't help but praise him: "This Emperor Guangzong is still as generous and magnanimous as ever."
Yang Guangzong felt a little proud of being praised.
Although he disliked Ye Hufen because he was ugly and as strong as a bear, he was very concerned about his reputation. Every time I visit my mother-in-law's house, I have to act wealthy.
If others gave him one pound of meat, he would give him two pounds. Others drink one or two taels of wine, but he drinks three or two taels!
Anyway, the purpose is to suppress others.
There is nothing wrong with this. At least Uncle Ye's family can receive a lot of respect from him.
But Uncle Ye was always afraid that Yang Guangzong would treat Ye Hufen badly, so Uncle Ye would give back as many gifts as he gave, and even a little more.
"Haha, my son-in-law is incompetent, so I can only give him eighty cents."
Yang Guangzong looked somewhat proud as he listened to the praises from his relatives.
