Chapter 728 I Can’t Keep My Cool
Ye Yunliang went to Zhouji Yahang and chose a carriage in a very generous manner.
He tried to hurry up, and when he felt that there was no problem, he set off.
He bought food as he walked, and after buying half a carriage's worth of things, he prepared to return to Yejia Village.
.
Li Lancao watched Zhao Erbao and his family of four go out early and come back late every day.
After returning from Zhao Baofeng's house, Liu Cuiyu kept her mouth shut to her, but she was talking and laughing with her mother-in-law Liu Datao.
She learned from Liu Datao that the work Zhao Erbao and Zhao Ning did in Zhao Baofeng's house was not very heavy.
In the afternoon, Zhao Ning could still go to the school in Yejia Village to attend classes.
The teacher who gave the lecture was the master of a wealthy family from the capital. He knew a lot and was very generous.
Seeing that Zhao Ning studied hard, he gave him some books and a set of four treasures of the study to encourage him to keep studying.
Liu Cuiyu and her daughter Zhao Zhen were taken to the village workshop by Zhao Baofeng's eldest daughter-in-law to learn embroidery.
Once you have learned the skills, you can take some simple jobs home to do.
When the work is finished and sent for inspection and there are no problems, you can collect the money according to the number of pieces and also pick up the new things you need to do.
Liu Datao also asked Li Lancao's eldest daughter, Zhao Hui, to go to Yejia Village with Liu Cuiyu to learn embroidery.
Li Lancao glared and said, "How can an embroidery workshop in the mountains be compared with one in the county town? Our Hui'er is going to the county town, so don't worry about it."
Liu Datao wanted to persuade her, but Li Lancao put down the work in her hands and went into her room without looking back.
After entering the house, Li Lancao lost her composure and started pacing around the room anxiously.
Why is there no news about Ye Yunliang yet? Is he unreliable?
That's not right. Ye Yunliang is asking his nephew to do something. It's not a big deal, so how could it not be done?
After much thought, she decided to go to Yejia Village again.
Zhao Dabao, who had just returned from working in the fields, saw that she was not working properly at home but had run out again. He frowned and asked, "Where are you going again?"
Li Lancao looked around, pulled Zhao Dabao to a corner, and lowered her voice, "I'm going to Yejia Village and then to Ye Yunliang's house to take a look."
"Didn't we just go there yesterday? It's ridiculous to go again today!"
"He took five taels of silver from us."
"But didn't his wife say that he went out of town to discuss business? He might come back someday."
"What if they're trying to trick us?"
"It shouldn't be that serious. We are all relatives, and the third son of the Ye family doesn't look like someone who needs those five taels of silver.
Okay, you were the one who gave him the money, so wait a little longer!"
Li Lancao stamped her feet anxiously, "I can't wait any longer, can I?
The second brother's family of four came back from the second sister's house happily every day. That day, I asked Huier to trick Zhener into saying that everyone could have two pieces of meat for lunch.
Haven’t you seen the second brother’s family of four? They all look fatter than before.”
Zhao Dabao glared at Li Lancao angrily, "This is all your fault. If you had agreed to let me go, we would have earned forty cents a day."
Li Lancao stretched out her hand and started tearing at Zhao Dabao's arm, "You don't think of me when good things happen, but I'm the one to blame for all the bad things.
Why didn't you refute me when I said I disagreed?"
Zhao Dabao gasped in pain, "Can't you be gentler? How dare I disobey you?
Okay, don't worry, I'll go with you again tomorrow."
"I think you don't have to worry about tomorrow, since you've already finished the work in the fields.
Otherwise, let’s do it now, just in case the third son of the Ye family comes back!”
Zhao Dabao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
"Zhao Dabao, I have to tell you, don't let our parents know about this, those five taels of silver are our private money.
If they knew, there would be a commotion.”
"I know."
Li Lancao and Zhao Dabao came to Ye Yunliang's house. Pang Xiujuan became impatient when she saw them, "Why are you here again?"
Li Lancao couldn't stand Pang Xiujuan's behavior the most. "Your boss stole five taels of silver from us. We came to see if he has returned."
Pang Xiujuan pointed at Li Lancao and said, "Can you speak? What do you mean by taking away five taels of silver from you?"
It was obviously you who gave it willingly. You asked me for something, and I granted it.
He went out to do some business and hasn't come back yet.
I told you yesterday to wait patiently at home, and I will tell you as soon as I have any news."
"You make it sound so easy, but that's five taels of silver. If you take our money, you have to do the job."
"When did we say we wouldn't do anything for you? I just asked you to go home and wait.
Even though this shop is owned by my family, we have to wait until we need people before we hire them!
The shop doesn’t need anyone, why waste money hiring people?
We are not stupid.”
Li Lancao felt very nervous after hearing this. She was indeed careless at that time. She should not have rejected Zhao Baofeng. It was forty cents a day!
The second wife's family got the advantage for free, but the problem is that she and Dabao still have to do the housework!
While she was thinking about how to fight with Pang Xiujuan, a carriage stopped in front of her.
A man jumped down from the carriage and said, "This is Mr. Ye's third uncle's house."
Wang Chang took out a small piece of silver from his pocket and said, "Thank you for leading the way."
The man refused, but Wang Chang forced it into his mouth.
"You're welcome. Without your guidance, we don't know when we can reach Master Ye San's house."
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, the man took the silver, bowed to Wang Chang, and ran away.
Li Lancao was stunned watching from the side. The third son of the Ye family had really become rich.
This man is too generous. She and Zhao Dabao leaned back unconsciously.
Wang Chang politely bowed and asked, "Excuse me, is Mr. Ye's third uncle home?"
Pang Xiujuan stepped forward and said, "I am Mr. Ye's mother. May I ask what you want from his uncle?"
Wang Shulan pulled Wang Chang and stood in front of him, "Madam, are you Mr. Ye's mother?
Is this where Mr. Ye's third uncle lives?"
"yes!"
"Is he home then?"
"My boss is out on some business and hasn't come back yet."
Now even the usually smart Wang Shulan was confused. What was going on? Sometimes he called her mother, sometimes she called her third uncle. Could it be that the way of calling people in the deep mountains was different from that in other places?
However, Wang Shulan still pretended to be calm and asked with a smile on her face, "Do you know when he will be back?"
Pang Xiujuan glanced at Li Lancao and Zhao Dabao who were standing aside, thinking that she couldn't tell the specific time, otherwise the two of them would come to ask for the money again.
She pretended to be thoughtful and said, "When I went out, I didn't say when I would be back."
Wang Chang and Wang Shulan were very anxious. They rushed all day long, but if they couldn't meet the real boss, it would be a big loss.
