Seeing that there were guests coming to the Ye family, Ye Juan'er and her husband quickly said goodbye and told their sons to prepare to go home.
"Where's your eldest brother?"
Ye Xianglei said, "Who knows? He just kicked Qingtian's snowman and broke it, making Qingtian cry, so he ran away."
During his time in Linglong Pavilion in the capital, Ye Xianglei has made a lot of progress.
When he returned home for the New Year this time, he clearly felt that his elder brother's attitude towards him had changed, and his words were always sour.
So he was too lazy to cover up for Ye Xiangxin.
"This child..." Ye Juan'er said speechlessly, "He's already grown up, why is he still so unstable?"
Ye Juan'er was talking to Old Lady Ye in the room just now. Although she heard the child crying, she didn't take it seriously when she saw Old Lady Ye and his wife had gone out. After all, it was normal for a child to cry a few times.
I never expected that it was my own son who caused the trouble.
"Sunny, I'll go back and take care of him for you!"
Looking at Qingtian's slightly red eyes, Ye Juaner felt more and more that her eldest son was not doing the right thing.
Even if you accidentally broke the sunny snowman, you should have comforted him. How could you just run away?
Qingtian said: "Auntie, it's okay, my uncle helped me fix the snowman!"
Ye Juaner took a look and saw that half of the snowman's body was covered with some snow that looked cleaner.
Now she felt even more that people really had to go to big cities to see the world.
Not long after the youngest son left home, he became much more sensible and steady than before.
On the contrary, the eldest son has been an apprentice outside for such a long time, but has not made as much progress as his younger brother.
"Qingtian is such a well-behaved child. He really saves you a lot of worry." After praising Qingtian, Ye Juaner took Liu Quan and Ye Xianglei home.
After arriving home, Ye Juaner still didn't see Ye Xiangxin, and she felt even more unhappy.
Liu Quan asked, "Xiang Lei, how much money do you have in your purse?"
He could see clearly that the purses his daughter-in-law gave to the Ye family's children were all bulging, while the purses that Old Lady Ye gave to her two sons were all empty.
There are six children in the Ye family, but only two of them. No wonder the eldest was unhappy and left early.
Ye Juan'er was already in a bad mood because of her eldest son's rudeness, and she became completely furious when she heard what Liu Quan said.
"Liu Quan, have you forgotten who was the one who took the pressure and helped you fix the village waterwheel when you broke it?
"Have you forgotten that the boss always sends a portion of whatever he gets back from the mountains to our family?
"People respect you as an elder and call you uncle, and you're still taking advantage of me, aren't you?"
Liu Quan immediately became depressed after being scolded and whispered, "I, I'm just asking out of curiosity..."
"Bah, curiosity is bullshit!" Ye Juan'er said angrily, "Big brother, that's all you can do! In our family, Xiang Lei is the most like me, generous and open-minded."
"Look at you, I didn't say anything!
"I remember all the kindness his family has shown us. It's New Year's Day, and in front of the children, why do you have to speak so harshly?"
"I..." Ye Juan'er was about to say something else when she heard a clang.
She turned her head and saw Ye Xianglei taking out a small silver cake from his purse. There were auspicious words engraved on it, and it looked like it weighed about one or two taels.
The family of three was dumbfounded.
Liu Quan was completely speechless now and lowered his head in shame.
Ye Juan'er wanted to scold him a few more times, but she thought that today was the first day of the new year and people would come to visit at any time to wish her a happy new year. It would be too embarrassing if they were caught by others, so she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
She glared at Liu Quan fiercely, turned around, pocketed Ye Xianglei's New Year's money, and then ordered: "Hurry up and go find your brother."
"Oh, I'll go right away." Looking at the New Year's money that was taken away, Ye Xianglei didn't even have the thought of resisting. After all, it was one or two taels of silver, and there was no way his mother would let him take it.
Ye Xianglei went out and quickly found Ye Xiangxin, who was staring blankly at others setting off firecrackers in the threshing ground.
"Mom told you to go home quickly."
Ye Xiangxin said with a sullen face, "What are you going to do back home for? To get scolded?"
"It's okay if you don't want to go back. Just give me the New Year's money you just received. I'm afraid you'll lose it."
"Ha!" Ye Xiangxin sneered, took out his purse and threw it to Ye Xianglei, saying, "It's just a few cents, so what if it's lost!"
Ye Xianglei thought, no wonder my mother said that my eldest brother’s personality is like my father’s, and even the words he says are similar.
He picked up the purse that his eldest brother had thrown to him, opened it, emptied out the contents, and examined them. "It's only one or two ounces of silver, after all. It's normal for mother to be worried about you losing it."
"What one ounce of silver?"
Ye Xiangxin suddenly turned his head and looked over, and sure enough, he saw a small and exquisite silver cake in his brother's palm.
How is that possible!
How could the Ye family be so generous?
So this is the reason for the empty wallet?
Ye Xianglei confirmed that the silver was still in his pocket, took it and walked back, not caring at all whether his elder brother wanted to go home or not.
At this time, in Old Ye's house, the two families were arguing about giving their children New Year's money.
"During the Chinese New Year, why don't you let your children receive lucky money?"
"You're giving too much. No, absolutely not."
"I'm not giving it to you, I'm giving it to the child, so don't worry about it."
After a lot of pulling and pushing, Lin Yumei was exhausted and out of breath, but she finally stuffed her purse into the hands of the Ye family's children.
Old Mrs. Ye also took the opportunity to give New Year's money to Wang Hao and Wang Ping, brother and sister.
Mrs. Ye and her two sisters-in-law also took out the purses they had prepared long ago.
Before Lin Yumei could catch her breath, she started a new round of pushing and shoving. However, this time, it was the Ye family who insisted on giving it, and it was Lin Yumei who refused to let the child accept it.
