Chapter 117 Can I Still Understand This Way?
Yang Guangzong was so angry that he felt like he was being slapped in the face:
"Humph... I was just saying this casually. If you don't want to hire anyone, forget it."
Ye Hufen looked tired and embarrassed, and forced a smile to smooth things over: "I was just kidding. Don't mind it, little sister."
Ye Caiping was concerned about Ye Hufen and her daughter, so she stopped bullying him.
Old Mrs. Ye was also afraid that Ye Hufen and her daughter would be embarrassed by him when they returned home, so she laughed and said, "Oh, I forgot to give them the New Year's money."
As he spoke, he began to search his sleeve pockets.
Yang Duobao, who was concentrating on chewing candied lotus root, suddenly had his eyes light up. He quickly slid down from the chair and walked in front of Old Lady Ye.
Yang Xiaoyan felt extremely embarrassed, but still walked over.
"Here." Old Mrs. Ye took out the money and gave two strings to each person, including Old Man Ye's share. "Your eldest uncle and second uncle have gone back to their mother's home. I'll give you more when they come back tomorrow."
Yang Duobao took the money and counted it. There were only eight coins in one string, and the total was sixteen coins.
"Thank you, great-grandpa and great-grandma." Yang Xiaoyan said timidly.
Yang Duobao rolled his dead eyes and looked at Ye Caiping.
Ye Caiping smiled wryly, took out two strings of money and stuffed them into the hands of the two men.
Yang Duobao counted and it was another eight cents!
Yang Duobao was furious: "Why is it so little? Only eight cents? Didn't your family build a big house with blue bricks and tiles? Only eight cents! I thought it would be a hundred cents! Why are you so stingy!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room became a little awkward.
The old lady and her husband choked, but Ye Caiping was just eating melon seeds nonchalantly:
"Your family is very generous. Jin'er, Huan'er, why don't you ask your uncle for New Year's money?"
Sister Ye Jin'er came out quickly: "Aunt, uncle, congratulations on your prosperity!"
The corners of Yang Guangzong's lips trembled, and then he began to rummage in his sleeves.
He liked to show off, so he usually gave the kids here five cents each as New Year's money, which was two or three cents more than other families, and seemed very generous.
He had just been slapped in the face by Ye Caiping, and this time he was determined to regain his face and suppress Ye Caiping.
So he took out eight strings of money, one string cost five cents, and gave them together with Ye Hufen's share, which meant that the couple each gave ten cents!
Ye Huaner took the money and counted it: "Oh, my uncle and aunt each gave me ten cents!"
Yang Duobao snorted angrily, "Look, only my family is generous! You earn so much money, but you are still stingy."
Yang Guangzong also looked very pleased when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, Ye Caiping was not angry or ashamed at all, but said calmly: "Oh, your family is really generous."
Sister Ye Jin'er also smiled and happily put the money into her pocket: "Thank you, auntie, thank you, uncle."
Yang Guangzong choked, feeling as if he had punched cotton.
They actually feel they have made a profit!
He gave two cents more as New Year's money, and not only did he not get it back, he seemed to have even lost it! Yang Guangzong was furious again.
Old Lady Ye saw that Yang Guangzong was humiliated and was afraid that he would go back and humiliate Ye Hufen and her daughter, so she gave him a way out:
"Guangzong, Hufen, go back and ask your parents if they want to have lunch together this year?"
Yang Guangzong could no longer sit still and stood up to leave.
Yang Duobao, however, pounced on the coffee table, still showing off his candies.
"Duobao, let's go." Yang Hufen stepped forward and said softly.
"I'm not leaving. I want to eat here."
Yang Hufen looked unhappy.
Yang Guangzong's face darkened: "Then let him eat here! You guys stay here and watch him, I'll go ask him myself."
After saying that, Yang Guangzong left quickly.
Ye Hufen looked at Ye Caiping and the others and smiled awkwardly: "I'm really sorry about what happened just now. I didn't know he had such an idea."
It's about hiring workers.
As she spoke she bowed and Ye Caiping hurriedly helped her up.
"Hiss..." Ye Hufen suddenly cried out in pain.
Ye Caiping and others were startled and quickly pulled up her sleeve, only to see that there was a bruise on her arm.
Ye Caiping's face changed, and Old Lady Ye quickly pulled Ye Hufen and said, "Come on, let's go inside and talk privately."
After saying that, Ye Caiping and her daughter pulled Ye Hufen and Yang Xiaoyan into Old Lady Ye's room.
Just as they sat down, Old Lady Ye asked worriedly, "What happened to your injury? Did he hit you?"
Ye Hufen forced a smile and said, "Nothing happened. I just fell accidentally."
"He was the one who beat me!" Yang Xiaoyan's eyes were red. "He was angry and took it out on us."
Ye Caiping looked puzzled: "Big sister, you are 1.8 meters tall! I mean, you are 6 feet tall, and you can kill a cow with one punch! How dare you let him hit you?"
Ye Hufen looked embarrassed and said, "Ah..."
Ye Caiping continued: "You are stronger than him, why don't you fight back? He can hit you, why can't you hit him?"
"He, he is my husband..."
"You are still his wife! You are the child's mother!"
Ye Hufen didn't know what to say for a moment, and mumbled, "How can a wife beat her husband? If I tell others about this, how will they look at me? They will laugh at me to death."
"So no one is laughing at you now?"
"Of course!" Yang Xiaoyan said, "When the villagers saw my mother being beaten, they all laughed at her for looking like a blind bear, strong and ugly. No wonder her own men disliked her."
"Listen, this is also a joke on you! If you resist, they laugh at you, and if you don't resist, they laugh at you even more. Since you're going to be laughed at anyway, why not choose a way that makes you comfortable?"
Ye Hufen was stunned, as if the door to a new world had been opened. How could it be understood in this way?
