Guo jumped up and down and shouted, "Why should it belong to her?"
Old Madam Ye glared at her and said, "Just look at the fifty taels of silver that the eldest daughter-in-law earned with her own ability!"
"Now that the family hasn't been divided, the money we earn should belong to the public. How can we keep it for ourselves?" Guo was dissatisfied. "If that's what mother said, then the fourth son and I don't have to hand over the money we earn in the future?"
Old Madam Ye raised her voice angrily: "If you have this ability, I will give it to you!
“The eldest daughter-in-law’s recipe was handed down from her mother’s family and has nothing to do with our Ye family!
"I wonder if any of you have the nerve to ask for this money. I don't have the nerve to do it!"
As she spoke, she looked up and looked around at her other three sons and two daughters-in-law.
Ye Lao Er: "Mom decides!"
Second Sister-in-law Ye: "It should have been given to the eldest sister-in-law."
Ye Lao San: "Mom, we don't want it!"
Sister-in-law Ye: "Although we have no ability, we still have dignity."
Ye Lao Si desperately held onto the unyielding Guo and said in a muffled voice, "Mom, we don't want it either!"
"Ye Laosi, you..." Guo was almost mad with anger, but she couldn't break free from Ye Laosi's hand at all and was dragged away by him.
That’s fifty taels of silver, if you divide it into five parts you can get ten taels!
What's the point of having face? How much is face worth!
Old Madam Ye made the decision and said, "Alright, I'll take charge of this matter.
"My eldest daughter-in-law, please keep the banknotes."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ye looked at her husband.
Boss Ye knew his mother's temper, so he nodded.
Mrs. Ye then carefully folded the banknotes and put them close to her body.
Guo watched from afar and was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She started punching and kicking Ye Laosi.
"That's fifty taels of silver, not five taels. You may not even be able to earn fifty taels of silver in your lifetime!
"If someone doesn't want you, you won't want them either? Why are you trying so hard to be so high and mighty?"
If it were any other time, Ye Lao Si would have come over to coax her by now.
But today, Ye Laosi just squatted there without saying a word, letting her beat and scold him.
Guo was tired of beating and scolding, so she put her hands on her hips and panted: "Are you mute today?"
Ye Laosi suddenly stood up.
He was more than a head taller than Guo, and when he stood up, his shadow enveloped her completely.
Guo took a step back in fear, her voice a little weak but she still said stubbornly: "You, what do you want to do?
"I, I'm telling you, if you dare to touch me, I'll never let you go!"
Ye Laosi usually smiles, but today his expression is particularly serious.
He said in a deep voice: “I may not have much ability, and I dare not say whether I can earn so much money in this life.
"But I am willing to work hard and do my best for you and for this family.
"As long as you trust me and settle down in my hometown, I will definitely work hard to make you live a good life.
"Who doesn't know that money is a good thing? But that money was earned by my sister-in-law through her own ability, and it has nothing to do with us.
"It's really not good for you to be like this today..."
Guo was quite moved by what she heard at first, but she didn't expect that Ye Lao Si would suddenly change his attitude at the end and start to criticize her.
This was the first time since they got married that Ye Lao Si spoke to her in this manner.
Guo was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and said, "Fourth Brother Ye, you've become more capable..."
Unexpectedly, Ye Laosi didn't even listen to her finish her words and turned around and left.
"Hey, what are you doing, you..."
The fourth brother and his wife were having a cold war, while over there, after Ye Dasao coaxed Qingtian to sleep, she lay face to face with Ye Lao Da and started to talk privately between husband and wife.
"Master, can we keep these banknotes ourselves? What Fourth Sister-in-law said makes sense. After all, the family hasn't been divided yet..."
"This money is what you deserve, so why should you be uneasy about it?
"Besides, no one else has any objections, so why do you care what the fourth brother's wife says?"
After Boss Ye finished speaking, he looked at Qingtian who was sleeping soundly between the two of them.
“We didn’t have children before, so it was okay for us to devote ourselves to our family.
“But now that it’s sunny, I don’t know what the situation is back home.
"Even if we don't consider ourselves, we have to consider our daughter.
When she heard him mention sunny days, Mrs. Ye immediately fell silent.
She knew better than anyone else in the family that the good days today were brought to the Ye family by sunny days.
She is not afraid of hardship and poverty, but she tries her best to make Qingtian live a good life.
That was how the matter of the fifty-liang silver note ended.
The next day, no one at home mentioned the incident again.
Mrs. Ye got up early in the morning and started cooking.
Because she received fifty taels of silver from the Qin family, she even got up early and stewed a large pot of thick, white and fragrant soup base with wild boar bones.
Then I kneaded the dough and mixed the stuffing, and made a pot of exquisite wontons.
On a chilly late autumn morning, eating a bowl of steaming hot wontons in pork bone soup will surely warm your whole body.
Guo usually didn't get up until dinner time, but today she got up early, which was unusual for her. She was so sleepy that she kept yawning, but she still followed Mrs. Ye diligently to help.
Seeing this, Mrs. Ye, who had just finished washing up, couldn't help but say, "Hey, the sun is rising from the west today? Why are some people suddenly so diligent?"
"Sister-in-law, you'd better be careful, someone might want to steal my skills!"
"What do you mean, sister-in-law? We are all family, don't say such harsh words!"
Guo's little thoughts were exposed in public, and it was not appropriate for her to continue to hang around Mrs. Ye, so she turned around and left in disappointment.
"Ah——" Unexpectedly, just after walking a short distance, she let out a scream.
Although Ye Laosi was still in a cold war with her, he still rushed forward at the first moment.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Guo was so frightened that she fell to the ground, pointing at the bushes not far away and stammering, "There's a dead person!"
Everyone from the Ye family who had followed stopped in their tracks when they heard this.
Mrs. Ye couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "Have you never seen a dead person? You're screaming like you've seen a ghost!"
That’s right. Who hasn’t seen a few dead bodies along the way fleeing from famine?
Mrs. Ye was about to go back when she turned around and found that Qingtian, who had been following her, was gone.
She quickly turned around to look for the child, and saw that Qingtian had run to the dead man at some point.
"Qingtian, come back soon. Mom will cook wontons for you." Mrs. Ye hurriedly called her daughter.
Qingtian pointed at the person on the ground and said, "Mom, he's alive!"
The Ye brothers had already started walking back, but upon hearing the news, they turned back.
Boss Ye reached out and touched the man's nose, and actually heard a faint breath.
"Is it because it was too cold at night?"
Since the person is still alive, we naturally cannot stand by and watch him die.
"Second brother, come and help carry the person back."
The two brothers carried the man back, covered him with two layers of quilts, and fed him a bowl of hot pork bone soup.
The person woke up quickly.
