Chapter 65: Old Man Ye’s Thoughts



"Sister, sister, fat brother is here." Dong Dazhuang ran in with his short legs.

Behind him was Zhao Xiaocao who looked unhappy because he was lagging behind.

"Sister, sister is here too." She shouted unwillingly.

The little girl was instantly excited when she heard the sound, and she flapped her hands and feet vigorously: "Ahhh..."

【Fat brother, Little Grass sister. 】

The limp little body pounced towards the two of them.

Lan Qingshuang had a hard time holding them, so she bent over and let the three little kids touch their heads to relieve her homesickness, but she didn't dare let the fat boy and Xiaocao hold them.

The three little ones screamed with excitement as if they had completed some sacred ritual.

The other little kids were curious and came running over to cry, making the whole yard noisy.

"Oh, these brats are still the best. They don't have to worry about anything."

"Yes, it's just very noisy."

As he said this, he also laughed along with the kids.

Seeing that there were so many children, Lan Qingshuang led them all to the room prepared for Xiao Fuman to play.

The room was spacious with a kang and some furniture, so there was no need to worry about the children making noise.

Little Fuman was left in the care of Fatty and Xiaocao. The two children often played with Fuman and were relatively steady and reliable.

I brought some more food and toys, and the other children were also obedient.

A group of little kids are playing harmoniously and chattering.

There were a lot of people outside, and Lan Qingshuang couldn't really just sit there and let Aunt Deng and Aunt Lin do the work.

She just needs to come in and look at the child from time to time.

Little Fuman received his mother's instructions early on that he must be a good little host. He was shouting and cheering to the group of little guests and was extremely enthusiastic.

The little ones couldn't understand what she was shouting, and they all responded with all kinds of things.

Lan Qingshuang smiled and went out to do her work.

The Ye family's house is really grand, and people who come to join in the fun can't help but ask Lan Qingshuang to chat with them.

The stone labor is free, but everything else costs money.

Although Ye Zhoushan still owed the debt, others didn't believe it. They didn't believe that someone was so bold as to borrow so much money to build such a nice house.

Ask if there is any way to make money, ask if you didn’t actually lend it, but gave it secretly.

He also asked whether the previous benefactor had given a lot of money.

He also asked if he could help them get some cement to turn their heads.

Lan Qingshuang was fooled by Tai Chi and knew nothing about anything. She said that Ye Zhoushan was in charge and that she was taking care of the children all day and didn't have the time to worry about this.

Even if they don't get an answer, others will continue to ask over and over again.

Lan Qingshuang's face almost froze from smiling.

Aunt Lin pulled Lan Qingshuang away and asked Dong Muxiang to go with her. She glared at the group of old women and said, "You keep talking all day long, but you don't believe me when I tell you. What are you asking?"

"The stuff is so easy to get, why don't you bring some back?"

"Do you really think that favors are endless and anyone can help you share some?"

"Whether someone borrowed money or not, or how much they borrowed, has nothing to do with you. They didn't lend it to you."

"Instead of worrying about other people's business, you should worry about yourself."

The aunties and aunties just laughed it off and didn't confront Aunt Lin.

Dong Muxiang led Lan Qingshuang away from the battlefield and said, "Sister-in-law, if those people act like that again, you should run away quickly. They won't care about others' attitudes."

Yes, when the aunties and aunties in the village talk, they only care about their own pleasure and don’t care whether you are happy or not.

They can write a book for you before you finish a sentence.

Lan Qingshuang smiled. Today was special and she didn't want to cause any unpleasantness. Normally, she wouldn't pay attention to those people casually.

"I understand. Thank you for your hard work today."

"It's not hard." Dong Muxiang waved her hand, and the two of them went to help wash the vegetables.

At the gate, Auntie Deng and Zhao Qianjin helped greet the guests. Even though they were from the same village, they still had to be polite.

Old Man Ye, Zheng Juan and several members of the Ye family came.

Wu did not come. Even though she was now the legitimate wife, in the eyes of others, she was still a concubine, so she usually did not go to crowded places to avoid becoming a laughing stock.

Ye Youwei didn't come either. Last time, Zheng Juan scratched his face and he hid at home for a few days. After that, he tried not to go home and stayed in the widow's house all day long.

Zheng Juan was furious. On a dark and windy night, she went to Widow Liu's house in person to catch Ye Youwei committing adultery. She made Ye Youwei run away naked in the dark. Only then was Ye Youwei subdued. He seldom went to the widow's house again, for fear of being dragged off the kang and being embarrassed.

He also disliked Zheng Juan even more, and cursed her at home all day long, saying her eyes were not eyes and her nose was not a nose.

Widow Liu was so angry that her liver ached. She scolded men for being useless and said that women could not be controlled.

They also scolded Zheng Juan for being shameless and clinging to a man who had no interest in her.

Zheng Juan didn't bother to pay attention to them. What a fool! Their lives were almost gone, yet they were still thinking about those dirty things.

If she wasn't afraid of being implicated, she really wanted to lock the two of them on the kang.

Except for the big room, no one from the other rooms came.

The old man wouldn't let me.

Ye Zhoushan was building a house and the Ye family didn't even see his shadow.

There is no time to eat, and the whole family, young and old, has to go. Old man Ye can’t afford to lose face.

But even though not many people came, many people murmured and watched the fun, saying that Old Man Ye's behavior was just an attempt to cover up his own mistakes.

Old man Ye seldom goes out and does not go to work. He usually stays at home enjoying his life as an old man.

But as Ye Zhoushan's grandfather, he had to show up for such a big event as building a house, otherwise these people would forget that he was the head of the Ye family.

"Oh, the old man is here too, please come in." Zhao Qianjin greeted him warmly.

Old man Ye, who was supposed to be the owner... felt inexplicably humiliated.
