Chapter 140 Calculating Funeral Money
As Zhao Laizi and his mother walked in, they looked around and were more and more amazed.
"This house is so beautifully built!" When entering the hall, I looked to the side and found that there was actually a door, and inside was a large square blue brick courtyard.
The yard is paved with stone slabs, which is very grand.
Both mother and son stared in amazement, and only came to their senses after they sat down in the outer hall.
"Where is Sister Caiping?" Zhao Lai Zi rolled his eyes around, looking for Ye Caiping.
"Cai Ping is busy with her own business." Old Lady Ye sat down. "Lai Po, what are you doing here today? I can't make the decision on the workshop's recruitment. Cai Ping said that if you can't get the job this time, you will have a chance next time."
Old Mrs. Ye thought that the only reason they came was because the workshop was recruiting people.
Since the selection results were announced yesterday, several villagers came to her, wanting her to ask Ye Caiping to be lenient, and some even gave her gifts, but Old Lady Ye rejected them all.
Mrs. Lai looked very proud: "Well, don't panic, old sister-in-law. We are different from others. We are very clear-headed. If we can't be elected, then we can't be elected."
Old Mrs. Ye was very surprised.
But if it's not for work, why look for her?
Before Old Lady Ye could ask, Mrs. Lai said excitedly:
"Sister-in-law, I'm a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush. Your Caiping is already 30 years old! She has to get married soon!"
"Sister-in-law knows that I like Caiping very much. I have liked her very much in the past, but it's a pity that you didn't agree to our proposal back then."
Before Ye Caiping got married, Zhao Laizi had taken a liking to her and came to her house to propose marriage.
As a result, the Ye family and Ye Caiping herself looked down on Zhao Laizi and directly refused.
Old Mrs. Ye was stunned. It turned out that these two people were not here for the work, but for Caiping!
"Aunt, I am sincere to Caiping." Zhao Laizi patted his chest and said, "The reason why I didn't want to marry a wife all these years is because of her! I have always remained a virgin for her!"
As he spoke, he revealed an affectionate expression.
Old Mrs. Ye almost fainted after hearing these frivolous words.
"You don't get married, not because you don't want to, but because you can't afford one!" Ye Caiping walked in and sneered.
The faces of Zhao Laizi and his mother changed.
"How can you talk like that!" Mrs. Lai jumped up, "My son is sincere to you, and he doesn't mind that you are an abandoned woman, or that you have two children! This is his first marriage! You should be grateful that he is willing to marry you."
Old Mrs. Ye was furious and stepped forward to scold: "Burning incense? You really think your son is a nobody! Not only is his family poor, but he's also lazy. He doesn't work in the fields, he doesn't plant the land, and a man who's almost 40 is just eating and waiting to die every day."
Old Mrs. Ye was rarely so sarcastic, but Mrs. Lai had touched her sore spot! He actually coveted and despised her daughter!
"Who are you talking about? My Nobita hasn't been in the village these years! How can he farm? My Nobita is making a lot of money outside!"
"How much money does he make?"
Mrs. Lai choked and said, "Later... he lost everything in business. Anyway, my son has a lot of ability, but he just has bad luck. Give him a year or two, and I guarantee he will make a lot of money."
"I don't care how much you earn. Anyway, our family won't agree to this marriage!"
Regardless of her family background, just based on the words "not disdainful" and "burden" in her attitude just now, there is no way I can agree to this marriage!
"Sister Caiping..." Zhao Laizi looked at Ye Caiping with a hurt face.
Ye Caiping felt sick: "I looked down on you before, and I still look down on you now. Don't come to my house again, or I'll kick you out."
"Get out! If you don't leave, I'll kill you!"
Zhao Laizi and his mother's faces changed. Ye Daquan was really good at throwing shit!
The mother and son left Ye Caiping's house in shame.
Zhao Laizi was almost angry to death.
I originally thought that since Ye Caiping was divorced, no matter how much money she earned, she was still a woman and needed a man's care and attention.
Since he is getting married for the first time and is willing to marry her, a second marriage, she should be secretly happy.
Not only will he be able to marry a beautiful bride, but this workshop and the big brick and tile house will all be his.
Unexpectedly, she refused.
Zhao Laizi was very unwilling, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only leave in shame.
…
After Zhao Laizi and the other man left, Old Lady Ye was so angry that her face turned black.
Ye Caiping said, "What's wrong with Zhao Laizi? I haven't seen him for many years."
Old Lady Ye said, "He's just a ruffian. He used to tease cats and dogs in the village every day, but he suddenly disappeared seven or eight years ago. His mother told everyone that he was making a lot of money outside."
"Now that he's back, he's still a ruffian. People like this should be avoided when you see them."
Ye Caiping nodded.
"Is anyone home?" A voice came from outside.
The voice was unfamiliar, and Ye Caiping and Old Lady Ye walked out the door.
I saw a village woman in her thirties standing at the door. She was dark-skinned with bright eyes. When she saw her, she curled her lips and said:
"It really is Zhiyuan's wife's home! I heard a long time ago that you built a big house, but I didn't believe it at first. Now I see that it is true."
Ye Caiping looked unhappy: "I have nothing to do with Li Zhiyuan any longer. By the way, who are you?"
The woman was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Oh, look at me... you're used to calling me that. Your memory is so bad, I'm your cousin's wife... Oh, I'm Li Zhiyuan's cousin's wife! We used to be sisters-in-law."
Ye Caiping tried hard to search her memory and it seemed that there really was such a person.
The wife of Li Zhiyuan's cousin who is two rooms away from her.
"What's the matter?" Old Mrs. Ye was in a bad mood.
The woman looked at Ye Caiping with a stern face and said, "I am here to inform you that my great-grandmother passed away yesterday. Even though you are no longer Zhiyuan's wife, my great-grandmother used to have nothing to say about you and your daughter."
"When your daughters Zhaodi and Laidi were starving, my grandmother gave them so much food. Now that she is gone, you should at least see her off, right?"
Ye Caiping frowned, this part was indeed in her memory.
The woman's great-grandmother, Li Qi Nai, lived behind Li Zhiyuan's house and usually took good care of the original owner and Jin'er and her sisters.
Ye Caiping nodded: "When will the funeral be held?"
The woman was delighted: "Five days later, you must express your gratitude to the deceased. I'm leaving first."
After saying this, he left happily.
Old Mrs. Ye frowned: "Someone died in the family, and you are still so happy."
"Of course I'm happy that I got a little more gift money."
Ye Caiping guessed right.
The people in Lijia Village had heard that Ye Caiping had built a big house and made money selling spicy soup.
Li Qi's grandmother passed away, so this woman and her family decided to inform Ye Caiping about it.
Considering Ye Caiping's current financial situation, the funeral money would not be too little.
Moreover, Ye Caiping has a grudge against their Li family, so she probably won't stay long after giving the gift, let alone eat.
This way they can get some gift money for free without having to pay for food, so why not do it?
Ye Caiping didn't bother with their little plots.
Considering the kindness that Grandma Li Qi had shown them during her lifetime, they should give their share of the funeral money.
