Chapter 116 He Has Arranged Everything
When a married woman returns to her parents' home, she not only has to visit her parents, but also has to bring some things to visit her uncles and aunts.
In previous years, Ye Hufen would come alone to sit for a while, and it was rare to see Yang Guangzong and his son come together.
Ye Hufen came in and put the basket on the table.
"This is for you, uncle and aunt."
Old Mrs. Ye looked into the basket and saw only half a basket of brown rice with dried dates, three eggs, and two pieces of brown sugar on top.
"Oh, why are you carrying so many things?" Old Mrs. Ye was slightly surprised.
Ye Caiping narrowed her eyes.
Ye Hufen laughed heartily, looking relaxed.
In previous years, she wanted to bring something good to her uncle's family, but Yang Guangzong did not allow it.
Why should they bring things to those poor guys? Can they afford to give gifts in return? Isn't this just a waste of food?
So she could only bring two kilograms of brown rice and a few dates every year.
When she was preparing things this year, Yang Guangzong actually told her to prepare well.
She prepared the same things as her parents, half a basket of brown rice, two pieces of brown sugar and some dried dates. Unexpectedly, Yang Guangzong asked her to put three more eggs.
This seems to be more than her parents' side.
But when he thought about how he had not been filial to his uncle and aunt over the years, Ye Hufen felt that it was his duty.
"This is to honor my uncle and aunt." Ye Hufen smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into slits.
Yang Guangzong and his son had already walked in. Old Mrs. Ye quickly asked them to sit down, and Old Man Ye also came out of the room.
Even Jin'er and Huan'er came out and took Yang Xiaoyan to sit in the back to chat.
As soon as Yang Duobao saw the fruit box on the coffee table, his eyes lit up and he pounced over.
Sugared lotus root, sugared winter melon, sugared lotus seeds, as well as peanuts, dates, and melon seeds...
Yang Duobao grabbed the candied lotus seeds and stuffed them into his mouth. While eating, he put them into his pockets.
Sister Ye Jiner's faces darkened.
Ye Hufen was embarrassed and whispered, "Duobao..."
"Duobao, aren't you ashamed?" Yang Xiaoyan stepped forward and grabbed his hand.
"You money-loser, when will it be your turn to control me!" Yang Duobao rolled his dead eyes.
Old Mrs. Ye and her husband's faces changed.
Ye Caiping stared at Yang Guangzong with a half-smile: "Your son is really well-educated."
Yang Guangzong instantly felt ashamed and was about to scold Ye Hufen for not educating the child well, but when he thought of what he was about to do, he held back.
He glared at Yang Duobao and said, "What are you arguing about? Go play somewhere else!"
This was the first time that Yang Duobao was scolded like this by Yang Guangzong, and he shrank his neck in fear.
Ye Hufen quickly stepped forward and took his hand: "Come here and sit down."
Pull him to sit next to you.
Mrs. Ye and her husband were relieved to see that he would still teach his son a lesson.
Yang Guangzong rubbed his hands and laughed awkwardly: "I heard that my second brother and younger sister built two big houses, they are blue brick and tile houses, very impressive."
Old Lady Ye smiled and said, "It was God's blessing that allowed Caiping to have such great luck and make a little money."
"Yes, my little sister is so lucky. It's really enviable." He secretly hated why he didn't have such good luck!
When Wuquan got married last time, Yang Guangzong later heard that Ye Caiping was making a lot of money selling Hu La Tang.
He went to see the construction site at that time, and the two big houses were comparable to those of the richest family in their village.
He was almost going crazy with jealousy, but at the same time he also started to make some plans.
He had originally planned to talk about it after dinner, but Yang Duobao unexpectedly started to grab the meat and cause trouble, so he was prevented from completing his task.
Today, he must get things done.
Ye Caiping looked at his eyes that seemed to want to say something but couldn't hide his calculating expression, smiled coldly, and continued to eat melon seeds without even giving him a glance.
Yang Guangzong was annoyed when he saw Ye Caiping didn't respond. He smiled and said, "I heard that now you don't have to go out to set up a stall. You hire people to deliver the goods."
"Yes." Old Mrs. Ye answered with a smile.
"To be honest, I've been looking for a job recently. You guys are hiring someone to deliver goods, so I can do that, too."
When these words were spoken, Old Mrs. Ye and her husband and Ye Jin'er's sister were all stunned.
Ye Hufen was also surprised. She had heard about this from her parents a long time ago, but her younger sister already had someone to help her. He said anxiously: "Boss, what are you talking about..."
"Shut up, do you have the right to speak?" Yang Guangzong glared at her, then looked at Old Lady Ye and smiled.
Ye Caiping said coldly: "We already have enough manpower. There is no need to hire more people."
Yang Guangzong was unhappy: "That's enough? You are the boss, isn't it just a matter of a word to decide who to hire?"
"Oh, don't worry, I don't mean to ask the brothers to make room for me. The eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother are all our brothers, how can we let them go. Don't you have a guy named Ba Jin or Jiu Jin?"
As he spoke, he shook his head: "How can you trust such an outsider as much as your own relatives? It just so happens that you are on New Year's Day now, and when the market reopens on the eighth day of the first lunar month, you can just ask him not to come."
"I don't ask for much salary, just like my brothers-in-law, 30 cents a day is enough."
Old Mrs. Ye and Old Man Ye were already stunned by what they heard.
With just a few words, the niece's husband arranged Caiping's employees clearly, as if it were his own business.
Ye Hufen and Yang Xiaoyan looked at this scene and their faces turned pale with anxiety, and they almost fainted.
Old Lady Ye was also confused. She was thinking of Ye Hufen and didn't want to break up with him. She stuttered:
“Guangzong, let’s not talk about how to arrange this person. Even if we have space, how will you deliver the goods? You are from Nanwa Village, and it will take several hours to go back and forth.”
"Don't worry, Auntie. I can live in Qinghe Village then!"
"Our village? This... your father-in-law's house is already crowded..."
"I can live in my younger sister's house! She built a big house with lots of rooms. Since I'm working for her, it's only natural for me to live there!"
As he said this, he grinned, with an expression that showed that the matter was settled.
It's just delivering goods on a ox cart, but I can earn thirty cents a day. Where can I find such a good job?
By then, I will be able to live in that big blue brick and tile house, and food and accommodation will be solved. Just thinking about such a wonderful life makes me happy.
"Oh!" Ye Caiping sneered, interrupting his daydream. "Brother-in-law, you think too much. I just said that I am not short of people. Ba Jin is my brother from the same clan. How can I fire him?"
"And the reason I hired him to deliver the goods is because he has a cow. Do you have a cow too?"
Yang Guangzong choked. How could there be a cow in his family!
He was a little embarrassed and annoyed: "I, I don't have any cows...but you can hire a cow cart and bring it back later."
"Pfft... Brother-in-law, what you said is true. Do you know how much it costs to hire an oxcart for a day? At least twenty cents. I hired a man and a cart to pull eight jin of goods, and it only costs thirty-five cents. If I hire you, the wages plus the cart will be fifty cents a day."
"Brother-in-law, do you think I'm being taken advantage of? You hire someone who charges 50 cents a day instead of 35 cents a day? And you have to provide him with food and lodging?"
Yang Guangzong's face changed, and he became angry and embarrassed:
"Little sister, why are you talking like that? We are a family, and you are calculating all the time. What's the difference between thirty and fifty cents? Is the difference between relatives just a few dozen cents?"
"We're a family, can't we just live in your house? Would you rather hire someone else than your own family, just for a little money? Why are you so calculative? All you talk about is money, and you don't care about family affection at all!"
At this moment, Old Lady Ye and her husband, Ye Jiner and Ye Huaner all opened their mouths wide, and Jin Xing looked at Yang Guangzong in shock.
Oh my god, this fallacy leaves them speechless!
How to break this game?
Ye Caiping sneered, "Humph, so my brother-in-law cares so much about family affection and doesn't care about money!"
"certainly."
"Then brother-in-law, please work for me for free. I just finished building the house and I don't have money to pay the workers."
Yang Guangzong jumped up in anger: "What? Why should I work for you for free?"
"Oh, it's just a few dozen coins. Why are you so fussy, brother-in-law? All you talk about is money, and you don't care about family affection at all!"
These words left Yang Guangzong speechless. Even if he was shameless, he knew that he had just said these words.
Now they're all slapping him in the face!
Old Mrs. Ye, Ye Jiner and others couldn't help but take a deep breath and almost gave Ye Caiping a thumbs up: Beautiful!
