Ye Changxue ran in front, not even caring about being hungry when he entered the house. He went straight to Old Madam Ye and told her everything that had happened before, trying to emphasize that Lu Hui had bullied Qingtian. Then he complained, "Grandma, his family had the nerve to come to our house and borrow a working ox, and Second Master actually agreed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the others arrived home.
As soon as Ye Laoer entered the room, he saw Ye Changxue standing next to Old Lady Ye, with a smug look on his face.
Ye Changxue indeed thought so. In his opinion, even if Old Lady Ye didn't scold Ye Lao Er, she would definitely say a few words to him.
As expected, when Old Lady Ye saw Old Second Ye, she said directly, "Ye Laizi just bullied your eldest sister-in-law and the third son's wife, and you turned around and lent them your oxen.
"It's fine if Changxue doesn't know about this, but you know it and still do this?"
"Ah?" Ye Lao Er slapped his forehead, "Oh, that child just now is from Ye Laizi's family!
"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten..."
Mrs. Ye reached out and twisted him speechlessly, then pulled him to her side and said, "Mother, don't be angry. If he has agreed, let him refuse it himself."
Ye Lao Er scratched his head and said, "Hey, I really didn't mean it. Although I saw that kid once before, I didn't remember him very well.
"These past few days I've been watching a woman plowing the soil next to our house, but she can't turn much in a day.
"Today she brought her child to the fields, and then the child came to me to borrow a plowing ox.
"I didn't think much of it at the time. I thought we were all from the same village, and since they had asked for the money, how could I not lend it to them?
"Well, I'll go over and tell him when I go to the fields this afternoon..."
Ye Lao Er really didn't have a good impression of Ye Lai Zi. He even discussed with Ye Lao San in the field in the morning, wanting to beat Ye Lai Zi up when he was alone to vent his anger on Ye Dasao, Ye Sansao and Qingtian.
But in his eyes, he never considered Huang, the two children and Ye Laizi as a family, and he even felt a little sympathy for Huang.
When Ye Changxue saw that Ye Laoer was being criticized, he immediately became proud and looked at him with his chin raised, with an expression that said, "Look what I said."
Unexpectedly, Old Lady Ye immediately asked him, "Chang Xue, do you still remember the old Ma from the village?"
"Remember..." When Ye Changxue heard this person, he scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.
When they were still outside the Great Wall, the Ma family and the Ye family were from the same village.
Ye Changxue was very naughty at that time, and often took other children of the same age to play around.
One year he took the twins out to set off firecrackers and set fire to the Ma family's firewood pile.
Not only did they burn all of the Ma family's firewood, which was more than a meter tall, but they also burned down two of the Ma family's houses.
I can only say that fortunately there were no casualties.
Ye Changxue was almost beaten to death by Ye Lao San that time. His butt was swollen so badly that he was taken to the Ma family to apologize.
In order to compensate the Ma family for their losses, the family had to sell their oxen and move all the firewood in the house to them.
"Then you know, when we were plowing the following spring, we didn't have any oxen. Who lent them to us?"
Ye Changxue was stunned when he heard this. He was still quite young at that time and he really didn't know how to do the work in the fields.
"Could it be that Mr. Ma lent it to us?" Ye Changxue asked tentatively, but he still didn't quite believe it in his heart.
Because ever since that incident, no one in the Ma family, from the old to the young, had a good face when they saw him.
The children of the Ma family would even spit at him when they saw him.
How could I possibly lend a plowing ox to my family?
"Isn't it just borrowed from someone else?" Ye Laosan slapped his son on the head.
Ye Changxue's heart had begun to waver, but he still refused to give in and said, "But, I didn't mean to do that!"
Old Madam Ye pulled him to her side and said, “For farmers, farming is the most important thing.
“If spring plowing is delayed, the entire year’s harvest will be affected.
"We are all in the same village, so it's normal for us to help each other."
Ye Changxue was a little confused by what Old Lady Ye said. Whose side was Grandma on?
Just after talking about the second uncle, I turned around and talked about him again. Should I lend it to him or not?
Mrs. Ye said, "You kids have no idea that Ye Laizi almost attacked your aunt, your mother, and Qingtian yesterday. You just refused to lend them the oxen because of a little conflict between kids. That's why grandma wants to tell you that it's wrong for you to think this way.
"But Ye Laizi just caused trouble for our family. Even though he didn't get any advantage, we can't lend him the oxen at this time. Do you understand?"
Ye Changxue pondered for a while before finally understanding what was going on. He nodded and said, "Second Aunt, I understand."
Mrs. Ye rubbed her son's head and said, "Okay, go out and wash your hands and get ready for dinner."
After the child left, Third Sister Ye couldn't help but sigh, "I don't know what sin Huang committed to marry such a worthless man like Ye Laizi.
"I met her before when I was washing clothes by the river. She was very kind and even helped me wring out the clothes.
"I heard that Ye Laizi either beat or scolded her and the child. If my eldest brother hadn't told the clan leader..."
When Third Sister Ye said this, she suddenly slapped her thigh and said, "No wonder Ye Laizi is looking for trouble with Big Sister-in-law for no reason. Could it be that he is holding a grudge against Big Brother and complained to the clan leader?"
"I think so too," said Mrs. Ye as she served everyone some food. "Otherwise, since we have no grudges in the past and no hatred today, there's no need for him to target us like this."
