Han Yi made more than ten pancakes, which were quickly gone. When Brother Han saw this, he couldn't help but scold her.
"Why did you only make so few? Who's going to eat them all? Go make a few more. Oh, and add a few more eggs..."
As he spoke, he spat the biscuit in his mouth onto the table, which annoyed Han Yi. Just as he was about to refuse, he heard his sister-in-law speak up.
"Never mind, never mind, it's getting late, lunch is coming soon. We can have my little sister cook something nice for lunch, so let's not bother her now..."
She saw it; there was meat in the kitchen. Eggs are delicious, but nothing tastes as good as meat...
Fan Ting returned to the Fan family in a disheveled state. Seeing Ye Cuihua lost in thought again, a hint of displeasure flashed through his mind.
Ye Cuihua is now seven or eight months pregnant. Perhaps because of her pregnancy, many spots have recently appeared on her cheeks. Thinking of Han Yiyi's fair and delicate skin, he looked at Ye Cuihua with a hint of disdain.
When Fan's mother saw her son return, she hurried to greet him and asked in a low voice.
"How did it go? Did it all go smoothly? She agreed. When can we move in...?"
Old Mrs. Fan naturally knew her son's plan, and she wholeheartedly supported it. She had already visited the house today, and although she hadn't gone inside, she could tell from the outside that it was impressive.
Originally, Granny Fan wanted to go find Han Yiyi herself, but her son told her that Han Yiyi's temperament was not what it used to be, and she was afraid that going would backfire. So she didn't go and asked her son to make the plan.
When Fan Ting heard his mother's question, he lowered his voice and replied.
"She hasn't agreed yet, but with Han's mother around, I think she'll agree sooner or later..."
He knew very well that Han's mother valued scholars highly, and now that he was a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the imperial examinations at the county level), she figured Han's mother wouldn't be willing to lose her son-in-law.
However, when Granny Fan heard her son's words, she frowned.
"That little slut still disagrees. Making her the wife of a scholar is a huge favor to her, yet she still disagrees. But then again, if I had known before that she could also run a food business, and that she could sell her food business to Yunlai Restaurant, I would not have let her go. I wouldn't have let her stay at home as a concubine..."
"It's too late to say all this now, but it doesn't matter. I think in three days we won't have to live in thatched huts anymore..."
The mother and son were talking, but Ye Cuihua inside the house was completely oblivious, because her mind was not on Fan Ting at all. No, it should be said that her mind had never been on Fan Ting.
Meanwhile, in a secluded courtyard, Ye Qian'an peered through a crack in the window and once again saw the afterglow of the sun slowly disappear, plunging the area into darkness.
Looking at the dark sky outside, he couldn't remember how long he had been locked up. Every day, someone brought him food and water to his room, and even the chamber pot was cleaned for him. The food he ate every day was also very plentiful, but he was not allowed to leave his room.
He used to make a fuss, but when he realized that making a fuss was useless and would only waste his energy, he resigned himself to staying put.
What he couldn't understand was the purpose of those who had imprisoned him. If they wanted him dead, they could have done it with a single blow; there was no need for such trouble. If they didn't want him dead, why had they imprisoned him for so long?
Thinking about how she was heavily pregnant and couldn't find her cousin, Ye Qian'an's eyes were filled with worry and anxiety.
Han Yiyi thought that the Han family had come to persuade her to go back with Fan Ting, and that they would leave after a day or two if they couldn't persuade them.
Judging from this, it seemed that they intended to stay for a long time. Brother Han had somehow gone back and packed up all his clothes and valuables.
Since there are four people in the Han family, the eldest brother and his family of three stayed in the guest room. In order to persuade Han Yiyi, Han's mother has been squeezing a room into Han Yiyi's room in recent days.
After spending time together, Han's mother had a clear understanding of Han Yiyi's attitude. Moreover, seeing that Han Yiyi was doing quite well, her original insistence on having her return to the Fan family with Fan Ting softened considerably.
Brother Han and Sister-in-law Han naturally noticed Mother Han's attitude and became somewhat anxious. So they pulled her directly to the guest room. Once she was seated, Sister-in-law Han asked directly.
"Mother, are you not planning to let my little sister return to the Fan family with Fan Ting...?"
Hearing what Sister-in-law Han said, Mother Han pondered for a moment before speaking.
"It's not that I don't want to, it's that that brat doesn't want to. Besides, you've seen it yourself, she's doing quite well these days. If she really doesn't want to..."
"Mother, how can this be done..."
Hearing Han's mother say this, Han's sister-in-law became anxious and interrupted her before she could finish speaking. Suddenly realizing that her attitude had been a bit too harsh, she quickly changed her tone and said softly.
“Mother, what I mean is, haven’t you always wanted my little sister to marry a scholar? Fan Ting is not only a scholar now, but he has even passed the county-level exam. If he becomes a provincial-level scholar and then a top scholar in the future, not only will my little sister enjoy a good life, but we can also benefit from it. But if my little sister doesn’t go back now, then Fan Ting’s future wealth and status will have nothing to do with us…”
When Sister-in-law Han saw that her mother still looked hesitant after she finished speaking, she couldn't help but give her husband a wink.
Actually, Han's mother wasn't hesitant. It was because in the past two days, while staying with Han Yiyi, she had said all sorts of nice things and bad things, but she couldn't persuade Han Yiyi. She even felt like she was being turned against her. She didn't know when her daughter had become so eloquent.
After receiving a signal from his wife, Brother Han asked his mother.
"Mother, what do you think of my little sister's room? Would you like it if we lived here in the future...?"
She was naturally satisfied with the house, but she didn't quite understand what her son meant by asking a question, so she subconsciously replied.
"The house is fine, but..."
“No, Mother, think about it. Fan Ting is a scholar now, and he will surely rise to prominence in the future. If my sister follows him, her future will definitely be better and better. If my sister goes back to the Fan family, this place will be empty. We are my sister’s family, so this place will naturally be ours. Isn’t that the best of both worlds…”
When Han's mother heard her son's words, her eyes flickered, but she did not speak.
Seeing this, Sister-in-law Han patted Han Xiaojiang, who was stuffing snacks into his mouth.
Han Xiaojiang received his mother's hint and immediately threw himself into her arms, crying loudly.
"Grandma, I want to live here, I want to live here...?"
