Chapter 322 Why Should We Let Them Pass
Ye Caiping, Mrs. Du and Ye Hufen walked back together.
Mrs. Du frowned and said, "This second son is too soft. Besides, he shouldn't have told Wei Si Ya about the shares in the furniture workshop yesterday."
Ye Hufen asked, "Does it make any difference whether I tell you or not?"
"No matter what Ye Peng does, Wei Si Ya is the mother of Ye Peng and Yin Hua. Second brother is soft-hearted and will not divorce her. Wei Si Ya can't run away on her own."
Mrs. Du sighed, "That's what she said. But she felt wronged every day. Didn't she still have several hundred taels of silver? Later, Erquan's toilet business was not doing well..."
Ye Hufen said: "Even if she is not good enough, she is still better than other farmers. Even if she has several hundred taels in her hand, where can she go? She is not an eighteen-year-old girl, and she is not good-looking. Can't she find a rich man? Who would want her!"
"In that case, she might as well stay at home. After all, she has a big house, children, and a few hundred taels of silver. Not to mention that the toilet business can earn her more than ten taels of silver a month, even if she only earns one or two taels of silver a month, she won't run away. My sister-in-law is counting on her to run away!"
Du thought about it and agreed.
Ye Hufen continued, "Now that Second Brother's money won't be given to her, it doesn't matter whether she tells him about the shares or not. If she keeps hiding it, she will suffer. It's better to spend more money and live a good life."
Mrs. Du suddenly became enlightened after hearing Ye Hufen's words and said with a smile, "Hufen has become more and more clear-headed since the divorce."
Ye Hufen laughed and said, "Let's go back and eat quickly. We still have to help out at the embroidery shop in the afternoon!"
The group left quickly and went to Ye Daquan's house for dinner.
After dinner, Ye Caiping went home and did not go to the embroidery shop again.
When I got home, I saw Old Man Ye and his wife sitting in the main room with sad faces, and Shanzi standing beside them.
There were five bonsai trees on the coffee table next to it.
Some are fresh and energetic, some are old and frail, each has its own beauty.
Shanzi smiled and said, "These bonsai were sent by Brother Duanwu, who just left."
As soon as Ye Caiping heard it, she knew it was sent by Shen Zhiyan, and a smile immediately spread in her eyes: "It's really beautiful."
Old Man Ye said, "These flowers are really well taken care of. Give me two pots too."
Old Lady Ye glared at him and said, "If you want flowers, go dig them up in the mountains yourself!"
Old Mrs. Ye knew that this was a gift from Shen Zhiyan to Ye Caiping. Thinking of Shen Zhiyan, the future son-in-law, the troubles of the second house were finally diluted a little, and she was filled with joy.
Old Man Ye snorted, "They are nothing like those dug from the mountain. These pots are obviously different. Look... look..."
"It looks ancient and elegant." Ye Caiping said with a smile.
"Yes, that's right! The flowers grown by Mr. Shen are different, especially cultural."
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "Well...put these in my room first. I'll ask Shanzi to go out and buy some for Dad, how about that?"
Old Man Ye: "That's fine."
Ye Caiping followed Shanzi and went into the room holding the flowers.
Some are placed by the window, and some are placed on the display shelf.
After placing the bonsai, Shanzi handed Ye Caiping another letter: "There is another letter."
"Okay, you go out first."
After Shanzi left, Ye Caiping opened the letter and found it was in Shen Zhiyan's handwriting.
He first asked her how she was and then talked about the bridge repair.
He said he had contacted a famous craftsman and he would arrive in about five or six days.
There are only a few short sentences about bridge repair.
But there are actually two long pages of paper at the end.
Ye Caiping looked down and found that it was a love poem, written in such a fluent and eloquent way that it spanned two whole pages...
Ye Caiping blushed and muttered in a low voice: "You are not a child anymore, but you still write love poems... I am almost able to afford a three-bedroom apartment."
Ye Caiping covered her eyes and looked through her fingers, then changed to covering one eye and looking...
Finally finished watching it!
It’s not awkward anymore after watching it for the first time, and I like it even more after watching it for the second time! The third time——
My heart is so sweet, I love him without restraint, and I feel: He is worthy of being the top scholar and a great scholar! Very well written! How could one write such a beautiful and magnificent chapter with clear wind and bright moon?
Just as Ye Caiping was about to read it for the fourth time, Old Lady Ye called out from outside, "Caiping, the county magistrate and the village head are here and are in the outer hall."
"good."
Ye Caiping put the letter under her pillow and then walked out.
When I arrived at the outer hall, I saw Ye Lizheng, County Magistrate He, and a man dressed as a legal advisor sitting there.
Seeing Ye Caiping, several people stood up.
Ye Caiping bowed and said, "Your Excellency the County Magistrate."
County Magistrate He quickly bowed and returned the greeting: "Hello, Lady Ye."
"Your Excellency can just call me Madam Ye." Pleasantly, she was a little reluctant, "Please sit down."
After they sat down, County Magistrate He said, "Last time, Madam Ye mentioned the bridge repair. I wonder when Madam Ye wants to start? I wonder if I can help with the small matters of hiring bridge repairmen and purchasing materials."
Ye Caiping said, "Mr. Shen just sent me a letter saying that he has contacted a craftsman and he will be here in a few days. As for the purchase, I don't know what to buy now. I still have to wait for the craftsman to arrive and then follow his instructions."
County Magistrate He smiled and said, "Very well. I'll trouble you Madam Ye then. If there's anything I can help you with, please don't hesitate to help."
Ye Caiping said: "Let's post a notice to the two villages first!"
"I have already made preparations."
As he spoke, the legal advisor behind him stepped forward and handed over two notices.
Ye Caiping took it and looked at it. She saw that it was about repairing the bridge. One copy was for Qinghe Village and the other was for Lijia Village.
Ye Caiping read it and nodded: "Then go post it now."
The master beside him took the notice, and Ye Lizheng said, "I will go and post it with you."
Ye Lizheng and Master Ding left together.
The two of them posted the notice directly under the big banyan tree.
After the autumn harvest, the villagers have the most free time, and many people gather under the big banyan tree to chat.
As soon as they saw the notice posted, they gathered around to read it: "Village head, what is this for? I can't read."
Ye Lizheng said with a smile: "We are going to build a bridge in our village!"
The villagers were pleasantly surprised: "Build a bridge? Where do we have to build it to?"
"Let's build a bridge between Qinghe Village and Lijia Village, and Caiping will pay for it."
"Wow! If that's the case, we can save half the distance to town! That's great! No need to go around four or five miles!"
"It's not just four or five miles. Going up and down again, it's more than ten miles! With the bridge, we can save more than ten miles to get to the town."
"And it was Caiping who paid for it. Caiping is so generous. She used the reward money to build the bridge for us. If she is not rich, who will be rich?"
The villagers cheered and praised.
At the same time, the yamen runners also came to Lijia Village on horseback.
The notice was posted under the big locust tree.
The villagers of Lijia Village looked at it and their eyes widened: "What? Repair the bridge?"
"Where is this?"
"Is it Qinghe Village or our Lijia Village?"
"Wouldn't it be inconvenient for the people of Qinghe Village to go to the town?" The people of Lijia Village curled their lips. Their Lijia Village has always been the village with the most advantageous geographical location because it is closest to the town.
"Will people from the other side have to pass through our village from now on?"
"Why?" At this time, an angry voice sounded, it was Zhang Shui Niang, "We are a good village in Lijia Village, why should we let people from the other side pass through us?"
