Chapter 69 Finding a Teacher for Ye Xuan
Not only Ye Erquan, but even Old Man Ye and his wife were so happy that they couldn't stop laughing.
Although Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wei had no shoes, the pile of cloth in the hall was enough to make them happy.
Ye Caiping is going into the kitchen to cook. Starting today, it is her turn.
Wei quickly stopped him: "Little sister, you should take a rest. Let me and my sister-in-law cook the meals for the family from now on."
Old Mrs. Ye smiled and said, "Listen to your second sister-in-law. You have a lot of things to do, so pay Daquan and Erquan and let them do the work."
Ye Caiping thought about setting up a workshop later and would be even busier, so she nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble my elder and second sisters-in-law."
Chicken soup was stewed at noon, and the braised pork was made by Mrs. Du as taught by Ye Caiping.
Now that the family has a stable source of income, Daquan and Erquan have both received their wages, and Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wei are willing to spend money on oil and salt.
After Ye Daquan, Ye Yong and the other two came back, they started eating.
The whole family enjoyed the meal.
Old Mrs. Ye looked around at everyone with a smile. She had never imagined before that they would sit together so happily to eat with vegetables and meat, and eat white rice.
This was something I never dared to think about before.
After dinner, Old Lady Ye asked everyone not to leave as she needed to measure the size of the clothes to be made.
We have been eating well during this period, and everyone has gained weight, and some of the children have grown taller.
After taking the measurements, Ye Caiping took out the 29 taels that she had prepared long ago: "Sister-in-law, add the one tael from last time, that's 30 taels, this is what I promised to give you."
"This..." Mrs. Du's eyes turned red. Thinking about the fact that Ye Caiping had to pay Daquan's wages and buy rice and cloth for him, she felt a little guilty.
"Take it!" Ye Caiping put the money in her hand.
Mrs. Du took the money and was so happy that she didn't know what to do: "I have 30 taels now! Hahaha!"
The family members burst into laughter.
Ye Caiping put three more silver ingots into Wei's hands: "This is for my second sister-in-law, 30 taels."
Wei was stunned for a moment, and so were Old Lady Ye and the others.
"Little sister...I didn't agree with you to give you 30 taels or something..." Wei was dazed.
"Whether there is an agreement or not, if the first wife has it, the second wife must also have it. Over the years, both the first and second wives have paid the same amount."
Ye Xuan didn't go to school, and neither did Ye Peng.
Although Ye Peng didn't like to study, it didn't mean he was not qualified to study. Both of them lost the opportunity to study.
So she owed the first wife as much as the second wife.
Wei's eyes were red: "Thank you, little sister."
When Ye Caiping had to pay back 30 taels to the first wife, she felt it was unfair and that Ye Caiping was biased towards the first wife.
Unexpectedly, Ye Caiping was not biased, she just didn't say it.
Brother Ye Daquan opened his mouth, but Ye Daquan didn't know what to say. Ye Erquan said, "Little sister, this is too much. Let's just get along with each other from now on. There's no need to..."
Ye Caiping glared at him and said with a smile, "I have money. Since we want to be harmonious, we must be fair and just."
Ye Erquan was speechless. He felt sorry for his little sister and also liked her treating them well. In the end, he could only smile and nod.
Anyway, whatever my younger sister does is good, so just listen to her.
Ye Caiping walked up to Old Lady Ye and the other two and took out another 30 taels: "This is for my parents."
"Ah! You girl are crazy today!" Old Mrs. Ye jumped up.
Everyone in the first and second houses also took a deep breath.
"Mom and Dad have worried about me all these years. Now that my daughter can earn money, I naturally want to honor her." Ye Caiping looked at the two elders eagerly.
Although she came from across time.
But she truly felt their love during this period.
She is no longer an orphan, she has a daughter, parents, brothers and sisters-in-law.
These are all her relatives.
As long as they don't betray me, they will be my family members for life.
Money can’t buy feelings, but if you are not willing to give money, then what’s the point of talking about feelings?
She didn't know how to express herself, nor how to respect them, and she only wanted to satisfy their material needs first.
As long as she has money in her hands, she will feel at ease, so she gives money.
"But you don't have to give me money... I already have my salary, 30 wen a day, 900 wen a month. Which old lady can get 900 wen a month?"
As Old Lady Ye spoke, she became more proud.
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "Let's put it this way. That's the wages, but this 30 taels is for your personal use. Didn't mother say that I emptied all the coffin money? I'm returning your coffin money to you now."
"But you don't have to give me 30 taels. If you really want to honor me, then give me a little less, 3 taels will be enough. You should keep this money well, if in the future..."
"Then you should accept it even more. If I suddenly become poor in the future, I will count on you to help me."
Old Mrs. Ye was stunned for a moment. What if her daughter's business suddenly ran into problems, or if all her money was wasted...
Thinking of this, Old Lady Ye quickly held the 30 taels to her chest and said with a smile, "Yes, this is my coffin money. Cai Ping is so filial!"
If her daughter suddenly becomes poor in the future, at least she still has 30 taels! You should really let yourself be!
Old Mrs. Ye's action made everyone in the room laugh.
"Sister-in-law, you have money now, so you have to arrange Yong'er's marriage as soon as possible." Ye Caiping said.
"Yes, yes, I will make clothes with Jinhua in a while. If we work up all night, we will be able to finish it tomorrow morning. Then we can ask Bingren to negotiate." Mrs. Du's face flushed with excitement.
"Ice Man can find Zhuzi's wife or Tieniu's wife, or the village head's aunt will do." Wei said with a smile.
"The village head is more reliable." said Old Lady Ye.
Ye Caiping looked at them and smiled, there is one last thing!
Ye Caiping looked at Ye Xuan and said, "Everything at home is on track now. Xuan'er, it's time for you to go to school."
As soon as these words were spoken, the three women who were chattering excitedly stopped and looked over here.
Ye Xuan was stunned and lowered his head: "Aunt, I'm old now and have decided not to study. I just want to farm well."
Ye Caiping felt that he was the one she owed the most, and sighed softly, "Not much, as long as I miss him, it's just a matter of spending more effort and time."
Mrs. Du didn't want to give up: "Your aunt is right, studying is good. As for the tuition..."
"Leave the tuition to me." Ye Caiping said.
Mrs. Du's eyes lit up, and Ye Jinhua pulled her and said with a smile, "My aunt said before that she would hire a teacher for my second brother after she made some money!"
Ever since Ye Caiping paid them back the 30 taels and fulfilled her promise to make her an extra set of clothes, Ye Jinhua knew that Ye Caiping was a trustworthy person.
Whatever she promised, she would fulfill it.
Mrs. Du also remembered and looked at Ye Caiping eagerly: "Little sister, what you said at that time..."
"Don't worry, I'll keep my word." Ye Caiping laughed, turned around and looked at Ye Xuan, and said formally: "Don't worry about the tuition and the writing brushes, inkstones, paper and inkstones. I'll take care of them."
Ye Xuan's eyes quickly turned red and his body was shaking slightly.
Can he really still study?
He thought he had given up, but until this moment he realized that he had never given up!
"But I'm already sixteen, it's too late..."
"It's not too late. I'm telling the truth." Ye Caiping said, "Let me ask you, do you think the teachers in our small town and county can compare with those in the city or the capital?"
Ye Xuan was slightly surprised: "I can't compare."
Ye Caiping nodded: "So, as long as you make up for the basics and find a better teacher, even if you can't compare with the students in the city or the capital, you can at least catch up with the level of the county students. You started late, but compared to children, you have better comprehension and learn faster."
"You are only sixteen, not thirty-six. If one year doesn't work, study for two years. If two years still don't work, study for ten years. If you still can't catch up in ten years... then it only means that you are not cut out for studying."
