Old Mrs. Ye was frightened by his posture. At first she thought he was throwing out the small stones that children used to catch when playing with sandbags.
When she got closer and saw that the things on the kang were all jade pendants, she became furious and slapped Ye Changxue in the face.
"Damn it! How can I just throw this thing around? What if it breaks? Even if I sell you, I can't afford the compensation!"
Unexpectedly, these words aroused even more resistance from the children.
Niannian even burst into tears.
Old Mrs. Ye first picked up all the jade pendants on the kang, then called Ye Changrui over and asked him to explain what had happened.
After listening to Ye Changrui's story, Old Mrs. Ye couldn't help but roll her eyes at them.
"Tiantian doesn't know anything and keeps making a fuss! Who said we're giving Qingtian away? Qingtian has found his real parents, okay?"
After hearing this, the five children looked at Old Lady Ye pitifully.
"Grandma, does that mean my sister won't belong to our family anymore?"
"Will my sister be able to come back in the future?"
"I don't want to be without a sister!"
"Grandma, I..."
Old Madam Ye quickly stopped them and said, "Okay, stop making a fuss.
"As long as Qingtian still recognizes us, the Ye family, then we are still a family!"
Hearing what Old Lady Ye said, the five children all turned their heads to look at Qingtian.
Qingtian blinked and asked softly, "If my biological parents recognize me as their own, will you no longer treat me as your sister?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Changxue was the first to speak out, "How is that possible! Qingtian, you will always be my sister. I, Ye Changxue, only have you as my sister!"
The three younger ones below quickly followed suit.
Ye Changrui was much more stable than the other children. After everyone had finished talking, he reached out and rubbed Qingtian's head and said, "As long as you are our sister for one day, we will be your brother for life.
"If you ever get wronged or bullied in the future, don't forget that you have your brothers at home to support you!"
After hearing this, Qingtian immediately smiled sweetly.
"Don't worry, big brother. No one will bully me."
Seeing that the children had spoken freely, Old Lady Ye asked Qingtian, "Did you bring back this jade pendant? Do the prince and princess know about this?"
"Grandma, don't worry. I've already told mother. She gave it to me." Qingtian briefly explained the origins of the jade pendant to Old Lady Ye. "There are seven jade pendants in total. I'll give one to each of my brothers. Grandma, keep the remaining two for now and give them to my fourth uncle's children in the future."
When Old Lady Ye heard this, she thought, well, it seems that after Ye Lao Si and Miss Zhou get married, they should be able to have two sons.
As for whether or not there will be a daughter...
Old Mrs. Ye felt there was no hope.
The only daughter that the Ye family has a connection with should be Qingtian herself, there won’t be any other.
Old Madam Ye spread out the jade pendants she had just put away on the table on the kang, and called her five grandchildren forward, saying, "Since this is Qingtian's gift, each of you can choose one."
The children looked at each other, and saw Ye Changxue step forward and choose a jade ruyi first. Then the other four followed and chose jade pendants one by one according to their age.
Only then did Old Lady Ye put the remaining two close to her body, saving them for Ye Lao Si's child in the future.
"Okay, take the jade pendant and go find Chang Rui's mother and ask her to make a string for you to wear.
"This is from my sister, and jade nourishes people. After you have braided the string, wear it carefully for me. Don't take it off easily. Got it?"
"knew!"
The children were playing with the jade pendants they had chosen. After hearing what Old Lady Ye said, they all agreed and ran out to find Ye Ersao.
Ye Ersao was carrying dishes out from the kitchen and was about to invite everyone to eat when she was surrounded by five children.
She quickly raised the plate in her hand, fearing that it would burn the children.
"What's going on? What are you doing?"
Ye Changrui said, "Mom, grandma asked you to braid ropes for us to wear."
"What kind of rope are you weaving?" Mrs. Ye asked, motioning the children to move aside. "Stay away, be careful not to get burned!
"Okay, forget about the ropes. I don't have time to weave them for you right now. Let's go wash our hands and get ready for dinner.
"We already had lunch late today. If you keep dawdling, you'll be late for class this afternoon!"
Mrs. Ye Er finally came into the house and put down the plate in her hand. Then she urged the five children to wash their hands, but she herself brought a basin of water into the house and washed the face and hands of Qingtian, who was still lying on the kang.
"Did you get enough sleep?" Sister Ye asked with a smile as she gently wiped Qingtian's face. "Come, let Auntie help you put on your shoes. Let's go eat first.
"You can't sleep too much during the day, or else if you get too sleepy, you won't be able to sleep at night."
The family was having lunch in the main room, sitting around an octagonal table.
Old Madam Ye, sitting at the head of the family, couldn't help but say, "It's more lively at home with more people!"
After she finished speaking, she asked, "How many days can you stay this time?"
Mrs. Ye felt a little embarrassed when she heard this, but she had no choice but to tell the truth: "Mom, we'll only stay for one night. We have to go back after lunch tomorrow."
The five brothers were all anxious when they heard this. Ye Changxue asked directly, "Auntie, why don't you stay a few more days?"
Ye Changrui also put down his chopsticks and immediately lost interest in eating.
Ye Changnian even went over directly, shook Old Lady Ye's arm and said, "Grandma, I don't want to go to the private school this afternoon. I want to stay at home with my sister!"
When the four brothers heard this, they all made the same request as Ye Changnian.
Ye Changrui said: "Yes, my sister finally came back, we want to take her out to play!"
Ye Changzhao and Ye Changfeng even went directly to beg Ye Ersao.
Because they knew that as long as their mother nodded in agreement, grandma would definitely give her face.
Sure enough, perhaps because she hadn't seen her sons for a long time, Mrs. Ye couldn't stand their coquettishness and was the first to give in.
"Okay, I'll give you all afternoon off today. Otherwise, it would be boring to stay home alone on a sunny day."
When Ye Changxue and Ye Changnian saw that Ye Ersao agreed, they immediately turned to look at Old Lady Ye.
Three of the five children have already been able to take leave. Grandma won’t have the heart to let these two go to class alone, right?
Sure enough, this time Mrs. Ye nodded readily.
In fact, she felt that being less than half a day was no big deal.
The reason I didn’t express my opinion just now was because Mrs. Ye was sitting here!
She was afraid that her daughter-in-law might disagree, so she didn't dare speak too quickly.
Now that Mrs. Ye has agreed, she naturally won't spoil the children's fun.
"Okay, are you all happy now?
"Eat well first, then take your sister out to play after dinner!"
