Chapter 71: Live with my parents
Ye Caiping took the fifty taels.
Master Luo then said, "If I'm not mistaken... Is Miss Ye selling spicy soup in the county?"
"right."
Master Luo nodded, thinking that Ye Caiping was something special.
First, he discovered a method to remove toxins from cassava, and then he knew how to use medicinal herbs to create a delicious dish. He is a smart person.
Then he added: "Next time if you find anything else, you have to report it, understand?"
"Yes, thank you, Master."
Master Luo was very satisfied, so he put his hands behind his back and led a few officials away.
Only when they disappeared did the villagers rush over and say, "How come Caiping is so amazing? She got a reward from the government."
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "Because I found a way to remove the poison from cassava!"
Villagers: “…”
After a moment of silence, he continued to boast: "This is fifty taels. Tsk tsk, I only got two hundred taels yesterday. Isn't this two hundred and fifty?"
“Awesome!”
Ye Caiping accepted their compliments with an awkward smile.
In addition to those who praise, there are also those who are jealous and envious, like Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Lai, whose eyes are so red that they are almost like rabbits.
Old Man Ye and Second Uncle Ye looked at this scene and felt proud. Smoke was coming out of their ancestral graves!
After dealing with it for a quarter of an hour, Ye Caiping finally got out of the crowd and went home with Old Man Ye and others.
After the door was closed, the atmosphere in the whole room became somewhat depressing.
Old Lady Ye sat on the chair, not knowing how to start. She thought for a while before saying, "How can we get a female household?"
"I plan to buy some land and build a house, and then move out with Jin'er and Huan'er."
"Wouldn't it be nice for our family to live together?"
Ye Caiping said, "Mom, the house is too small. If I don't move, where will Yonger live after he gets married? We can't live separately after marriage, right? Besides Yonger, there are also Xuaner and Penger!"
"In two years they will get married. After marriage they will have to have children. The population will only increase. A big tree will have many branches. This is an eternal truth."
When Old Lady Ye heard this, she thought it made sense: "I was thinking, after you get married..."
"I won't marry."
Old Mrs. Ye and Old Man Ye were stunned for a moment.
Ye Daquan said excitedly: "Little sister, you are still young, only 29 years old, how can you not get married."
Ye Caiping said: "Then let me ask you, what is the purpose of getting married?"
Old Lady Ye frowned: "Marry a man to get clothes and food..."
"If I don't marry a man, I won't have good clothes to wear or good food to eat? I'll starve to death and die of poverty?"
Old Mrs. Ye choked. With her daughter's current wealth and abilities, she could live a good life without getting married.
Seeing that they were all thinking about it, Ye Caiping added fuel to the fire:
"If I get married, I will have to be governed by my husband and obey him in everything. I will also have to serve my mother-in-law. It's good to meet someone like my mother. If I meet someone like Mrs. Li, how can I live a good life?"
"I am so lucky now. I have my own money. I can build a big house and live the way I want. And I have a daughter, so I am not childless."
"If I get married, wouldn't it just be to find myself a few gentlemen to serve me?"
When Old Lady Ye, Ye Daquan and others thought about it, their eyes widened, it seemed to be the case!
Mrs. Du slapped her thigh and said, "That's right! If you don't marry well, you will just find a master to serve you. If you meet a top-notch girl, and her husband's family all favors her, how miserable her life will be!"
As he said this, he fell on the coffee table beside the chair with a cry and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Ye Caiping: “…”
Ye Daquan: “…”
Old Mrs. Ye and her husband: "..."
I was touched!
Ye Caiping coughed dryly: "Sister-in-law...you are right. If you can live well by yourself, why do you need to hire a group of people to serve you?"
Old Lady Ye still disagreed: "What will you do when you are old? Jin'er and Huan'er will eventually get married."
"Don't I have Yong'er and Xuan'er? I can count on them to take care of me in my old age! Even if they ignore me, I still have money, right? I can hire someone to serve them. If that doesn't work, I can just ask Jin'er to find a son-in-law."
Old Lady Ye had no choice but to refute: "It seems to make sense..."
Getting married depends on luck. If you are lucky, you will marry well. If you are unlucky, you will fall into a fire pit.
Since my daughter is capable of living a good life on her own, why should she gamble on luck?
Old Mrs. Ye figured it out: "Okay, you are quite right."
Old Man Ye also nodded: "You are a person with ideas, we will all listen to you."
"My little sister is moving out?" Ye Daquan was a little unable to accept it. In the past, Ye Caiping often used this as an excuse to threaten him and make him obey.
He has tried so hard to be obedient, but in the end he still can't avoid this outcome?
Seeing that he looked like he was about to part with her forever, Ye Caiping found it somewhat amusing and coughed dryly:
"Brother, even though I've moved out, I'm still in the village. If you miss me, just come find me. I'm not going anywhere."
Although...but...Ye Daquan was still very disappointed.
Old Lady Ye suddenly thought of something and shook her head, "No, no. Even if you have a daughter, you three... are all women! There are always troubles around widows. As long as there is no man in the house, there will be men who will make trouble."
Wei said timidly, "Wasn't there a Miao widow in the village before? Her husband died at a young age, and there was no one in her husband's family, and she had a little girl of seven or eight years old. Those bastards in the village often knocked on her door in the middle of the night. Later, the Miao widow couldn't stand it anymore, so she hurriedly married to another village."
"That's right." Old Lady Ye nodded. "It's not good to have no man at home. Let alone knocking on the door, even if a man walks by your house, those gossipers will make up stories about you and that man."
Ye Daquan said anxiously: "If there is no man, I will go live there!"
Old Lady Ye glared at him: "What do you think you are? If it doesn't work out, I will live with the old man and Cai Ping."
As she spoke, her eyes lit up: "Yes, that's fine. After the house is built, we'll live with Caiping."
Old Man Ye said, "Okay, let's live together, then no one will say anything."
Ye Caiping smiled and nodded. In fact, she had also thought of this method.
The first and second wives and others were stunned.
Mrs. Du was stunned: "But...shouldn't our eldest wife take care of our parents?"
Wei said timidly: "Are you going to split up the family?"
Old Man Ye frowned and sighed, "We are not going to split up. We are just going to sleep in a different place. But as the tree grows, it will branch out. It is only a matter of time before we split up."
Both Du and Wei fell silent.
In fact, they all thought about splitting up, but they didn't think of doing it so soon.
Ye Caiping said, "Sister-in-law, I am not urging you to separate. I just want my parents to live with me when the time comes."
"You should show your filial respect as you should. As for whether to divide the family property or not, that is the path you will take in the future. It will be up to your parents to decide in the future."
Mrs. Du thought so and nodded, "Little sister, I don't mean to blame you. It's just that my second brother's wife suddenly said something about dividing the family, which is a bit sudden. Hehe, don't blame me."
Wei frowned. She didn't want to split up the family so soon.
At least it will take five or six years.
Now my mother has thirty cents a day. If she saves for five or six years, she will have at least fifty or sixty taels.
By then, their second branch will always get some.
If we divide the family now, my parents will be taken care of by the eldest wife, and my mother's wages will all belong to the eldest wife.
