Chapter 46 Has the guy selling the powder arrived yet?
...
"What did you say? Hahaha, did I hear that right?"
Ye Wan was surprised by the news brought by Ye Hua. Then she burst into laughter.
"Xianglan, she looks exactly like Mother when she was pregnant with you and my little brother." Ye Hua hadn't originally intended to tell Ye Wan, but seeing that she liked to hear it, she said a few more words.
Come to think of it, Mother sold all three of them in order to marry Xianglan to my younger brother. There's still no news about Cao'er. It turns out that Xianglan's belly couldn't wait any longer.
"I told you so, I'm going to be a dad!" Ye Wan was practically dying of laughter.
Forgive her for being immoral; she just loves hearing jokes about people like that.
Ye Hua looked surprised. She was going to be a father?
Ye Wan laughed to death. She didn't think that Xianglan's child was Ye Yaozu's. If it really was Ye Yaozu, given Qian Laopo's character, she definitely wouldn't spend a single penny. She guessed that Qian Laopo probably didn't even know that her son had become a father.
Ye Hua also said that Zhang Fuhu went to Ye Yaozu's house, asked the bride to come out and toast, and even asked Ye Yaozu to bring his wife to work at his house. Old Lady Qian was overjoyed.
As for Ye Wen's mention of bandits coming to town, it wasn't brought up, and no one took it seriously.
Ye Wan felt that Zhang Yebo had no good intentions and was probably after Ye Yaozu's new wife.
After talking with Ye Wan for a while, Ye Hua was about to leave. "It's getting late, I should go back too."
"Big sister, take these back with you. Soak them in cold water before eating. Do you have cabbage at home? Add them to your stir-fries and they'll taste better." Ye Wan packed some vermicelli for Ye Hua.
"Why would I take the things you brought to sell back? I can eat them here." Ye Hua thought of how Wang Hu used to scold Ye Wan, so she didn't want to take the things back.
"Sure, I'll set up a stall at the market entrance. Come whenever you want to eat, don't be shy."
"I'll say it again: if Wang Hu dares to hit you again, you tell me."
Ye Wan saw that Ye Hua genuinely cared about her and was willing to treat this older sister well.
After all, humans are social animals, and she couldn't live alone forever, so she simply moved to the deep mountains.
"Don't worry, he'll just mutter a few curses at most now, but he won't dare to lay a hand on me again."
After seeing Ye Hua off, Ye Wan went to soak the vermicelli.
With Aunt Wang and her family supplying the goods, and her own secret drying of the vermicelli in her room, she has enough for the time being.
When she got back to town and rented a courtyard, she told Daya and Erya to set up their own stalls. She planned to buy all the sweet potatoes in the village, hire villagers to process them, and then buy a courtyard in the county to open a shop.
Content with modest wealth.
Ye Wan felt full of fighting spirit.
"Mother, are we going to town tomorrow?" Daya asked as she came over.
"Go on, your dad can't just not make any money even if he's not coming home." Ye Wan thought that if all else failed, she would try to find other connections, even if it meant paying money, as long as they didn't cause her any more trouble later.
"Did your dad used to go out for days at a time and not come home?"
Daya lowered her head. "Father must have something on his mind."
She could clearly sense that Ye Wan's attitude towards the sisters had become somewhat cold because of what Er Ya had said earlier.
"You just leave without saying goodbye, aren't you worried about what might happen to your three children? I'm speechless."
Ye Wan touched her ear as she spoke, "Why do I feel a burning sensation at the base of my ears? Who's cursing me?"
"Damn it, did that drug seller even show up?"
Liu Wenshu lay slumped over the table in the inn, completely listless. He wanted to eat, he really wanted noodles, he was so hungry.
In the past three days, I have greeted Ye Wan a thousand times.
Yantai frowned with a bitter expression. "Not yet, young master. Let's go back. Yesterday was so dangerous. What if something happened?"
The bandits from Snake Mountain actually came and looted several wealthy households. Luckily, they didn't storm the inn, otherwise, what would have happened to the young master?
"Anyone who's blind enough to dare touch me, young master, has a death wish." Liu Wenshu stood up and decided to go back to bed. "I'll wait one more day. If they don't come by tomorrow, I won't wait anymore."
"Young master, the provincial examination is just around the corner. Why don't you take a look at your books?" Yantai advised earnestly.
With the provincial examination just around the corner, he secretly slipped away from the academy, not even bothering to study, but only thinking about a bite to eat. I'm truly speechless.
"I'm not looking, what's there to see? Go see if that Lady Ye has arrived yet." Liu Wenshu lay down, his mouth watering again.
I don't know what's so magical about that powder, but I keep thinking about it after I've had it once.
Yantai returned shortly after leaving, covered in sweat.
"Young master, young master, Lady Ye has arrived."
Upon hearing this, Liu Wenshu immediately changed his clothes and went out.
Three days later, Ye Wan returned to set up her stall, and a long queue formed as soon as she arrived.
"Hey, have you heard? Yesterday, a group of bandits stormed into Zhang Fu's house and reportedly stole quite a lot of things. Master Zhang was so angry when he got back that he fainted and had to call a doctor three times!"
"They only robbed the wealthy households, so does that mean the bandits were robbing the rich to help the poor?"
"Really? Will gold fall from my yard when I get home tonight?"
"Hahaha, Liu Laosan, you're daydreaming again in broad daylight."
Listening to these people's words, Ye Wan thought to herself that the bandits in the mountains had done a good thing, because the scarred man did not come to her stall today.
"Two bowls of noodles, please."
Liu Wenshu didn't queue up and sat down directly in front of the stool.
Just as Ye Wan was about to speak, she noticed that the people who had been queuing earlier were quietly moving further away from Liu Wenshu.
"Young master, would you like some vegetables added to your noodles? It'll taste even better with vegetables." The vegetable vendor standing to the side looked at Liu Wenshu with a big smile.
"Can we add more dishes? Then let's add more." Liu Wenshu opened his fan and fanned himself while staring at the pot in front of Ye Wan.
The vegetable vendor apologized to Ye Wan in a low voice, "Madam Ye, I'm so sorry, business is really tough. My youngest son fell ill the other day..."
These past few days, vegetables have been increasingly difficult to sell. He hasn't sold a single bunch of vegetables from yesterday to today, so he finally couldn't help but ask for help today.
"It's alright, not everyone needs to add vegetables. If someone wants some, I'll buy from you." Ye Wan didn't mind; this vegetable vendor was a nice guy.
"Okay, okay, thank you, Madam Ye." The vegetable seller hurriedly picked out the tenderest and freshest greens for Daya.
Da Ya washed it thoroughly before adding it to the pot to cook.
"Godmother, what brings you here?" Ye Wan had just handed the powder to Liu Wenshu when Aunt Cai arrived.
"I came to see if you could manage. Besides, I haven't been out for a long time, so I need to stretch my old arms and legs." Seeing that Ye Wan's business was doing well, Aunt Cai felt much more at ease.
"Godmother, please sit down." Ye Wan brought a stool for Aunt Cai to sit on.
"It tastes really good. I've been craving this for three days." Liu Wenshu said while wiping his sweat with a fan, as he hates the heat the most.
"You can't take the noodles back, but these dishes are fine. Pack two portions and let my grandmother try them."
Ye Wan said, "Young master, the old man probably can't handle such spicy food."
She didn't want takeout, mainly because she was afraid that if someone had bad intentions and added something to it, she would become the scapegoat.
"Then make something light!"
After Liu Wenshu finished speaking, he felt that bland food wouldn't taste good, so he waved his hand.
"Never mind, never mind."
"Young master, we've finally found you! Madam, Madam..."
