Chapter 242 Thinking Too Simple
Ye Caiping stared at his handsome face in a daze. The cloak on his body still carried his body temperature.
She lowered her eyes, and finally couldn't help shedding two tears.
Shen Zhiyan was shaken, and for a moment he didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only brush her hair gently.
His tone was soft: "Go back quickly, you will have to thank me tomorrow."
Ye Caiping nodded, bowed to him politely, and turned to leave.
She had a lot of things she wanted to ask him, but both her parents and daughter were suffering, so she had to go back as soon as possible.
Ye Xuan, who was standing in the crowd, kept looking over here with a look of shock. That was... Mr. Shen?
"Where is Caiping?" Old Mrs. Ye, who had already got on the carriage, climbed down again.
Jin'er, Huan'er and Du Shi got out of the car and looked around for Ye Caiping. They saw her standing with a figure from a distance.
Ye Caiping came over again, and Old Lady Ye rushed over and tightly grasped Ye Caiping's hand, tears streaming down her face:
"Cai Ping, where have you been? Wuuuuuu... Let's go back to the prison. We're not going! We're not going!"
She thought that the figure was Magistrate Lu, and Ye Caiping wanted to capture Magistrate Lu alone. She felt empty in her heart and cried anxiously.
Mrs. Du, Jinhua, Yinhua, Xiuxiu, and Xiaoyan were also wiping away tears.
Ye Xuan stepped forward and stammered, "Grandma, that should be... my husband."
Old Mrs. Ye was startled: "What do you mean..."
Although Ye Xuan didn't see the man's face clearly, he would not mistake the figure; it was his husband.
Moreover, he saw familiar faces among the servants who released the people. They were all servants of the Shen family.
Ye Caiping said: "The problem should be solved, let's go home first!"
"Solved?"
"Um."
Ye Caiping felt relieved and incredible at the same time.
Trapped in a desperate situation, her only hope was to rely on Su Hen or herself to surrender and change course.
Shen Zhiyan was someone she didn't dare to ask for help, or someone she felt wouldn't be able to help her if she asked for help.
Unexpectedly, in the end, he still helped me.
Wei sat in the carriage, feeling very uncomfortable: "Mother, little sister, if you have anything to say, let's go back first!"
Old Mrs. Ye, Jin'er, Huan'er and the others were also hungry and tired. Their bodies were sticky and they felt very uncomfortable. They didn't bother to ask more questions and got into the car one by one and left.
…
Three large horse-drawn carriages marched into Qinghe Village in a mighty procession.
With such a loud noise, many villagers living on the roadside woke up and looked out of the windows, but they did not dare to come out.
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of Ye Caiping's house.
When Ye Ershu and Ye Sanquan heard the noise, they came out with panicked and alert expressions. When they saw Ye Caiping and others getting off the carriage, they rushed over excitedly, "Brother and sister-in-law!"
"Brother, sister, you are back!" Ye Sanquan said excitedly, "I didn't expect Mr. Shen to be so capable. He wrote a letter and rescued you."
Ye Caiping was stunned.
Old Man Ye, Old Lady Ye and the others looked grateful. Are they really safe? They were not exchanged for Caiping, but someone rescued them!
And this person is actually Xuan'er's teacher!
The family was excited to get together. When the neighbors heard the noise, they all came out holding oil lamps and said, "Oh, Caiping is back home!"
"It's Caiping who's back!"
Calls came one after another, and soon, most of the village knew that Ye Caiping's family had returned, and they all came out to join in the fun or to greet them.
Especially the employees in the workshop, they were so happy that they almost cried.
Mrs. Zhao rushed over from such a distance, sobbing and wiping her tears: "I thought you were going to be taken to Caishikou to be beheaded tomorrow, wuwuwu, luckily you didn't, and our family's job is saved."
Old Mrs. Ye rolled her eyes at her.
Ye Caiping thanked the villagers one by one and asked them to go back and rest first. She would tell them if there was anything tomorrow.
It was not easy to persuade the villagers to go back.
The Shen family servant who was seeing them off said, "Madam Ye, we will leave first."
The Ye family members bowed to the servants and said, "Thank you."
"drive!"
Three large carriages slowly drove away.
Ye Daquan said: "Let's sleep at my little sister's house tonight!"
Ye Caiping nodded: "Okay."
After being locked up in jail for so many days, everyone was terrified. Only by staying together did everyone feel safe.
Uncle Ye said, "Come in quickly. I'll boil water for you to take a bath. Sanquan, ask your wife, sister-in-law, and mother to come over and cook for your uncle and his family."
The whole family came rushing in, took a shower, changed clothes, and ate.
To save time, the dishes are simple - stir-fried vegetables, stir-fried bacon and stir-fried eggs. The market is going up.
Everyone in the Ye family was released from prison. After sitting down, they ate like starving ghosts.
Halfway through the meal, I saw Uncle Ye and a few others standing aside.
Old Lady Ye said, "Second brother, you guys sit down and eat too."
Uncle Ye smiled and waved his hand: "No, just eat! Sanquan and I have been living here these days, feeding the chickens and ducks for you."
Ye Caiping took a sip of tea: "Thank you, Second Uncle and Third Brother."
"Ahem..." Wei swallowed the rice mixed with eggs and bacon in her mouth, "Where are my chickens, ducks and piglets?"
Ye Sanquan said: "Don't worry, I've fed them all, and the same goes for my eldest brother's family."
Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and Ye Daquan and Erquan looked at him with gratitude.
After dinner, Uncle Ye and his family cleaned up the dishes and left.
Ye Caiping and her family were so tired that they went to bed immediately to rest.
Jin'er and Huan'er want to live in the same nest with Ye Caiping.
All the golden and silver flowers crowded into Xiaoyan's room.
Ye Daquan and others each found a room, took out bedding from the cupboard, and fell asleep.
The next morning, Ye Caiping slept until noon.
Ye Caiping got up with back pain all over her body, and touched Ye Huaner's head. Her fever had already subsided. Jin'er is fine too.
She gently covered her two daughters with quilts and left the room.
Xiaoyan came out of Old Lady Ye's room carrying a basin of water: "Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Daquan are all sick."
Ye Caiping was full of worry: "Did you ask for a doctor?"
"The doctor has examined it and said it was just a common cold and fever, which he suffered from in prison. All he needs to do is take medicine on time and take good care of himself.
Ye Caiping breathed a sigh of relief: "How about you, are you okay?"
"Well, I'm very strong. When the doctor came just now, he checked everyone's pulse. Only my great grandfather and his wife and Uncle Daquan were sick."
Ye Caiping went to the room to see Old Man Ye and his wife. Although they were sick, they were able to talk and laugh.
When he came to see Ye Daquan, he jumped up and said he wanted to show her a set of punches! He was pushed back by Mrs. Du.
Ye Caiping came out of Ye Daquan's room and said to Xiaoyan:
"I'll leave the house to you to take care of. Make a pot of red date chicken soup in the evening so that everyone can have a good rest. I'll go out and do some errands first."
Although they had been released, it was Shen Zhiyan who helped her.
But she had to find out what happened next, and she had to thank Shen Zhiyan.
Because Ye Daquan was sick, they didn't call him, but called Ye Xuan to go to the town together.
When he was in school, Ye Xuan learned to drive a horse-drawn carriage from Ye Daquan, so he can drive steadily now.
…
Shen's house, study room——
"Humph!" Shen Manman pouted, puffed up her little face, and glanced at Shen Zhiyan behind the desk, "Such a big thing happened, and you didn't even wake me up!"
Shen Zhiyan was writing a letter without even looking up: “You’ll know now.”
"Now is now, and last night was last night! If I had been here last night..."
If she was awake last night, she would have definitely run over to comfort Ye Caiping and gotten at least 50 points of favorability from her.
And she was really worried about Ye Caiping.
Duanwu walked in: "Master, Madam Ye and Master Ye are here."
Shen Zhiyan looked up: "Let them in. Also, send the young lady back to her room."
There are some things that children should not know too much about.
"Awoo~~~ You don't let me listen again!" Shen Manman was angry and stomped her feet.
Xiao Qiu outside the house had already pushed Shen Manman away.
After a while, Ye Caiping and Ye Xuan walked in together.
The two of them greeted each other, and Ye Caiping said, "Last night, it was thanks to Mr. Shen's help."
Shen Zhiyan put down the book in his hand: "Do you know why Lu Baiwen wanted to force you to marry him, and why he wanted to put you in jail?"
Ye Caiping said, "Because of the yellow-heart cassava. I discovered the yellow-heart cassava, which would be a credit. Although he can also be credited with one credit as a county magistrate, if I become his concubine, he can be credited with two credits."
“And they want my workshop, too.”
Shen Zhiyan said: "You are too naive, things are not that simple."
Ye Caiping was startled and looked up at him.
…
Having written this far, many people say that the hero saves the heroine. This plot is greasy and tarnishes the halo of the heroine.
To say it was saving was a bit of an exaggeration, it could only be said to be helping.
Many treasures helped the heroine to think of ways to break the impasse. But what I want to write about is not a superwoman who is omnipotent and can overcome any difficulties on her own.
I want to write about a smart and capable female protagonist. But at the same time, she also has emotions, can cry and laugh, feel stuck and frustrated, and can make wrong decisions.
Even the wisest man can make mistakes. Even the most powerful decision makers can make mistakes sometimes.
When the heroine encounters setbacks, there must be someone to pull her out and give her help. Why can't this person be Shen Zhiyan?
Finally, thank you for reading.
