Chapter 324: Not a single penny will be published
As soon as Ye Caiping returned home, she saw Mrs. Zhao rushing out of the main room excitedly:
"Cai Ping, our village needs to build a bridge, right? Or it should be from Qinghe Village to Lijia Village. Oh my god! That's great! You don't know how much I like going to Lijia Village. From now on, I don't have to run ten miles anymore, hahahaha!"
Ye Caiping listened to her cackle and coughed dryly, "Changed our route to He'an Village."
"Isn't that my mother's home?" Mrs. Zhao laughed, "Although it takes an extra turn to get to Lijia Village, it's still just as close, hahahaha!"
Ye Caiping's mouth twitched slightly, and she thought to herself: In your heart, Lijia Village is closer to you than your mother's home?
Mrs. Zhao was still laughing, but Ye Caiping called Shanzi over and asked him to go out and do some work.
When Shanzi arrived in the town, he first wrote a letter back to Shen Zhiyan, then went to buy a few bonsai trees, and then asked someone to calculate the date for the construction of the bridge.
Shen's house, in the study——
Shen Zhiyan received a reply from Ye Caiping.
When I opened it, I saw only four words on it: Number One Talent!
These were four very ordinary words, but Shen Zhiyan saw a different sentiment in them, with a smile in his eyes.
Shen Manman sat in the armchair below, staring at him with half-closed eyes.
Since the letter was sent in during the Dragon Boat Festival, Dad has been reading it. Although he didn't smile, she could tell that he was very happy.
"Hmph!" Shen Manman pouted. He must have done something bad behind her back by sneaking around like that!
Daddy is getting worse and worse, she feels like she doesn't even recognize him anymore.
My father has turned bad, should I continue to match him with Aunt Ye?
If I continue like this, won’t I be harming my aunt?
But she really likes her aunt!
Chen Manman held her chin in her hand, feeling torn between her conscience and her conscience.
......
Shanzi bought six bonsai trees and took them home.
Old Man Ye thought that the newly bought pots were also very good, but they were still inferior to the ones Ye Caiping had.
But Old Man Ye was still very happy. He placed two in the room and the rest in the main room and outer hall. When I have nothing to do, I go water the plants and prune the flowers.
As for the start date of the bridge construction, it has been chosen to be September 28, which is still five days away.
The next day at noon.
When Ye Caiping came back from the spicy soup workshop, she saw Mrs. Zhao rushing in: "Sister You Tian! Ah, Caiping is here too."
Ye Caiping asked, "Aunt, what's the matter?"
As she was talking, Old Lady Ye also came out of the room: "What's wrong?"
Mrs. Zhao said anxiously, "Didn't your Erquan agree to the marriage between Ye Peng and Wei Xiaojuan yesterday? The Wei family came again just now and are discussing the wedding date."
"Mrs. Arita, please go over and take a look."
Old Lady Ye said unhappily, "No, there's nothing to see. I don't care if they get married tomorrow."
They had tried to persuade him and tried to stop him, but Ye Peng still rushed forward headfirst. What else could they say!
Ye Peng admitted in front of so many people that he stripped the girl's clothes, so he can't get away with it. Since the marriage is a foregone conclusion, let’s do whatever we want.
"Okay! If you don't want to go, I'll go."
After saying this, Mrs. Zhao ran away.
Ye Jin'er and her sister had just finished school and walked into the Chuihua Gate when they heard what Mrs. Zhao said.
Ye Huan'er shook her head and whispered, "Why is he getting more and more confused?"
Ye Jin'er said calmly: "Yes."
Ye Peng's behavior was really confusing and ridiculous.
But none of this has anything to do with her.
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "You're back? Guixiang, serve the food."
The two sisters had already walked forward, and Ye Huan'er suddenly asked, "Hey, when did mother buy a new hairpin?"
Ye Jin'er looked up and saw that Ye Caiping was wearing a green jade hairpin on her head.
Under the refraction of sunlight, it is transparent and bright.
Ye Caiping blushed slightly: "Oh, I got it two days ago."
"It's really beautiful!" Ye Huan'er smiled with narrowed eyes, "It's elegant and moist, and it matches my mother's temperament very well. And it's very expensive."
After studying at the Shen family for more than half a year, the two sisters already knew how to appreciate jade.
The one on Ye Caiping's head is the kind that cannot be bought with money.
The two sisters couldn't help feeling a little strange.
My mother usually doesn’t dress up much, why did she suddenly buy such an expensive hairpin today?
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "Come on, come in and eat. I'm hungry."
......
Ye Er's family is very lively at the moment.
Except for Wei Xiaojuan, everyone in the Wei family came.
In addition, there are Wei's mother, Wei's eldest brother Wei Fugui, and his sister-in-law Lei, three nephews and two nieces.
Ye Erquan was very disrespectful and took Yinhua directly to the fields.
As the person involved, Ye Peng cannot appear, so only Wei will receive the Wei family.
Old Lady Wei said, "Since the marriage has been agreed upon, let's get married before the New Year. I asked someone to look at it, and the auspicious days in the next few months are in conflict with Xiaojuan. Only October 15th is not in conflict. Let's not say anything more, and get married on October 15th!"
The Wei family was afraid that Ye Er's family would go back on their word, so they wanted the two to get married right there.
Wei frowned: "Today is already September 23, so there is only half a month left, right?"
"What's the problem? You can just pick a date to go back to your parents' home to propose marriage, and forget about the other formalities! As for the banquet, wedding dresses, and the wedding procession, your family is rich anyway, so just spend a little more money to prepare them."
When Wei heard about spending money, his heart twitched: "Okay, then hurry up!"
Get married soon, and slap your sister-in-law in the face soon! There’s nothing wrong with that!
Mrs. Wei said, "Also, we have to talk about the betrothal gift."
Wei Fugui and his wife standing by immediately became excited.
Wei said, "Well, the average maid in a family only gets six or seven taels. Xiaojuan is my niece, so I'll give her eight taels!"
Wei Lao Niang and the rest of the family stared with wide eyes, almost fainting: "What did you say, 8 taels, are you sending away a beggar?"
"Wei Si Ya, you are really outrageous!" Wei Fugui slammed the table fiercely: "Doesn't your family have more than 90 taels every month? You only give 8 taels as a betrothal gift?"
Wei said angrily: "8 taels is not a small amount..."
Sister-in-law Lei sneered: "Oh, so the fourth sister has been bragging all the time. She is poor just like our family. But she has been pretending to be rich recently."
Wei almost vomited blood: "Who is poor? My family has shares in the furniture workshop, and we earn one or two hundred taels a month."
How could she be underestimated!
Especially in front of her mother's family, she wants to be the most capable one!
How much they looked down on her before, how unattainable she is in front of them now! Never lose face!
Wei Fugui said, "Anyway, my Xiaojuan won't marry without 50 or 50 taels."
The Wei family was used to being poor, and their horizons were limited. 50 taels was already a huge sum of money for them, so the highest they could think of was only 50 taels.
Wei gritted his teeth and said he could marry a rich lady with 50 taels! Is Wei Xiaojuan, a poor girl, worthy of him?
But it would be embarrassing to have an unpleasant experience with my family at this time, so I could only grit my teeth and nod:
"Okay, 50 taels is 50 taels. But...you have to tell others that my family gave 188 taels as a betrothal gift."
Wei Fugui's eyes lit up: "188 taels? Then just give me 188 taels!"
Wei choked with anger, "No. If you don't marry me for 50 taels, then I'll be your concubine! I won't give you a penny! After all, I'll tell everyone that I accidentally stripped her clothes to save her, so being a concubine means I'm responsible. It's up to her to enter or not."
