Chapter 233 Whatever She Fears, You Will Do
Old Mrs. Ye angrily threw the vegetables in her hand to the ground: "Nonsense, what does my Cai Ping have to do with him?"
Mrs. Zhao frowned and asked, "What is the county magistrate doing here?"
"Speaking of which, the county magistrate is our father and mother official. How come he suddenly has a good relationship with you, Caiping? This is not normal."
Old Mrs. Ye was startled. She didn't know either, so she asked, "Because someone stole the cassava?"
Mrs. Zhao: "That's even more stupid. Is a small thief worthy of the county magistrate coming in person? If you don't have any other relationship, we won't believe it."
Ye Caiping's face darkened. Although what Mrs. Zhao said was unpleasant, it represented the views of everyone.
There are at least dozens of businessmen like her in Yue'an County, if not a hundred. Why would the county magistrate condescend to come to such a small village to find her?
The matter of the yellow-heart cassava could not be made public yet, so what outsiders saw was that the county magistrate suddenly became friends with her.
Old Lady Ye said angrily, "This, this, this... the county magistrate must like to drink spicy soup! The more you spend together, the more you can talk, and the better your relationship will be."
"Let me tell you, the reason why there are rumors out there is because some bad people are spreading rumors and they can't stand our family being on good terms with the county magistrate."
"Who spread the rumor? Could it be the county magistrate's wife?"
Old Mrs. Ye choked, feeling happy and scared: "How would you know... No, why would you think so?"
Old Mrs. Ye wanted to clear Ye Caiping's name and let everyone know that she was framed by the jealous wife of the county magistrate. But she was my wife after all, and I didn’t dare say bad things about her in public.
Mrs. Zhao said, "When I went to the county market this morning, I heard a rumor that Caiping had an affair with the county magistrate. The lady was very angry and wanted to find a husband for Caiping."
As she spoke, her eyes lit up and she gave full play to her imagination: "I do believe in Cai Ping's character."
"I've heard a lot of this kind of thing. If a village man looks at a widow for a second, the village man's wife will make trouble for the widow and even introduce men to the widow to prevent future troubles! Tsk tsk tsk, so that's how it is. I understand."
The more Mrs. Zhao sorted things out, the more she felt that this was the case.
Old Lady Ye didn't expect that Mrs. Zhao would understand, and she breathed a sigh of relief: "This matter... is not what I said... Anyway, my Cai Ping and the county magistrate are innocent."
It wasn't that they exposed the sinister face of the county magistrate's wife, but that even outsiders saw through it.
Ye Caiping said: "Aunt Zhao, it's enough for you to understand my difficulties."
Mrs. Zhao used her imagination again: "Then the matchmaker who suddenly arranged a marriage for you recently...was she also the one who brought it here?"
"There weren't so many matchmakers coming to our house before. Caiping, you are different now. Even if you are divorced, you are good-looking and can make money. When matchmakers arrange marriages for people, they have to weigh the conditions of both parties. With your current conditions, I dare not say that you are a bad match."
Speaking of this, Old Mrs. Ye felt so aggrieved that she nodded with tears in her eyes.
Mrs. Zhao tutted her tongue twice: "Cai Ping, it's not that I taught you bad things, you're just too kind. The county magistrate's wife treated you like this, you have to fight back."
Ye Caiping said: "The county magistrate already knows about this, he will teach her a lesson."
"Well, what's the point of this light lesson? You're doing what she fears the most. In my opinion, although the county magistrate is a little old, he is our father and mother. You won't lose out by following him."
"The county magistrate's wife is afraid that you two will have a quarrel, but you insist on marrying the county magistrate and then pushing her away to take her place as his wife. This will piss her off to death!"
Ye Caiping's face immediately turned dark.
Old Lady Ye was horrified. Although this sounded great, she still felt something was wrong: "Lucky Wife, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll have to beat you. This is ruining Cai Ping's reputation."
Mrs. Zhao curled her lips and said, "Reputation? Although this thing is very important, as long as you sit in the position of Madam, who dares to say a bad word about you? Just like you are rich now, even if people curse you in their hearts, they dare not say anything bad about you."
"If you can really become Mrs. Shangguan, it will be the glory of our Qinghe Village."
"Besides, if it really comes to pass, whether it's Jin'er or Huan'er, they will both become government ladies and can marry anyone they want. There are so many benefits!"
Ye Caiping said with a straight face: "Aunt Zhao, stop talking nonsense. If you spread this kind of talk, your son and grandson won't have to work in the workshop anymore."
Mrs. Zhao's face changed drastically: "No, no, no... I'm just doing this for your own good, giving you some advice."
Ye Caiping sighed softly: "Alright, I know your aunt has good intentions. But you can't spread this kind of thing, or I won't forgive you."
"I promise! I swear! If I, Chen Da Niu, say something like that, then... I'll get a sore on my tongue."
"Okay, I trust my aunt." Mrs. Zhao's children and grandchildren are all in her hands.
"Then I'll go first." After saying that, he ran away.
Mrs. Zhao left Ye Caiping's house, thinking as she walked.
The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel. It's really painful not being able to tell gossip!
By the way, she couldn’t say that Caiping was trying to squeeze out the county magistrate’s wife. She could say how the county magistrate’s wife was plotting to frame Caiping!
The more Mrs. Zhao thought about it, the more excited she became.
But he also knew that the county magistrate's wife was not someone to be trifled with, so he did not dare to spread the news in the village or town, but instead went to the county to spread the news.
He didn't even eat lunch and ran to the county without stopping.
She was sitting at a snack stand and happened to hear someone talking about the gossip between the county magistrate and Ye Caiping. She said "ah", "ah" and "tsk tsk" and used only these three interjections to blend into the conversation naturally.
Then he expressed half of his opinion, and others guessed the other half.
It turned out that the county magistrate's wife had overturned the jar of old vinegar and was plotting against a poor divorced woman.
First, he ruined the reputation of the family and the county magistrate so that the two of them would completely avoid suspicion. Then he wanted to find a husband for the family and cut off their future prospects.
…
After Mrs. Zhao left, Ye Caiping and her family started to have lunch.
Ye Caiping said, "Mom and Dad, tomorrow I will take Jin'er and Huan'er to the capital city to play for a few days."
Old Mrs. Ye and her husband were stunned for a moment, then finally nodded. Old Lady Ye said, "That's great. You can go out and avoid the limelight. The county magistrate said this morning that he would deal with the matter. When you come back, everything will be fine."
Old Man Ye said, "Just you and your daughter? Why not call your eldest brother?"
"Of course. Let's call Xuan'er along!" It's always good to have more men when you go out.
The reason why he is not called Ye Yong is because the family needs a strong man to guard the home.
Now Erquan is working outside, Ye Peng is delivering goods and is not strong enough. Old man Ye is old after all, and Ye Yong is a grown man of twenty years old and can hold on.
Ye Jin'er paused with her chopsticks in her hand: "At the Hu La Tang workshop..."
"I have Zhao Fan. I can trust him. If anything happens, I can ask the village head uncle and second uncle for help."
Ye Jin'er said, "It's where the ingredients are mixed. Only mother knows the proportions."
Ye Caiping said, "After dinner, I will teach you. It's very simple. Just mix them together according to the proportions and ask the workers outside to mix them together."
Old Man Ye and his wife, Ye Daquan and their two daughters are the people she trusts the most.
The reason why I didn't teach you before is because it is more convenient to prepare and mix the ingredients by yourself. You can just throw them into the space and then throw them out. There is no need to let others spend half a day to do something that can be done in five minutes.
After dinner, Ye Caiping took the old couple to the workshop and told them the proportions.
All the materials are packed in a cloth bag, weighing 30 kilograms.
The mixed materials are directly taken to the packaging room, and the remaining materials are locked in a small warehouse in the mixing room. Only Ye Caiping has the key, and no one knows how much material has been used.
In the past, Ye Caiping would just throw things into the space, and no one knew how much was left.
