Ye Xiaoxin nodded slightly.
From his sister's expression and actions, Ye Beiping knew that the two of them probably had a grudge because of this incident.
Hearing this, Su Xinyi frowned and said, "Mom, Sister Xin, you... you're not going to never come back, are you?"
Although she was certain in her heart, she still asked the question aloud.
Tao Qiuyan always had a smile on her face when she faced Su Xinyi: "Xinyi, you know that your sister and I are always doing nothing here. People tend to overthink when they don't have anything to do. Going back to Pingba Village, we can work in the fields. Isn't that great?"
"This..." These words left Su Xinyi speechless.
Because she knew how hardworking the villagers of Pingba Village were, and that they would feel uncomfortable in the city.
She had noticed before that Tao Qiuyan was always sweeping the floor with a broom, and even the mirrors in the house were kept sparkling clean.
"I disagree." Ye Beiping refused without saying another word, like a sulking child: "Your son is making money in the city. Have you thought about what the villagers will think of me if I let you and your sister go back?"
These words left Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin speechless for a moment.
After a long while, Tao Qiuyan smiled and said, "Yes, my son has become successful, but what does that have to do with me going back to Pingba Village? Does having money mean I can't go back to the village? Who made that rule?"
Ye Beiping fell silent instantly.
But if Tao Qiuyan were to return to Pingba Village, he would still be vehemently opposed.
In the end, he could only look to Ye Xiaoxin for help.
The latter pursed her lips and turned her head away from Ye Beiping's gaze. Actually, Ye Xiaoxin herself didn't really want to go back to Pingba Village, but she wasn't used to city life and didn't feel the same freedom she had in Pingba Village.
I feel like I'm subject to all sorts of restrictions.
"Mom, don't you want my sister to marry someone from the city?" Ye Beiping had no choice but to turn to his sister.
These words instantly made Ye Xiaoxin blush and glare at Ye Beiping with annoyance.
Tao Qiuyan glanced at Ye Xiaoxin and sighed softly: "Beiping, I understand your thoughts, but your sister and I are still country folk, farmers. Even if she finds a husband in the city, her life may not be easy. I've thought about all of this. I want your sister to go back and find an honest man to marry."
Upon hearing this, Ye Beiping's eyes reddened, and he immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks.
"Why? What's wrong with my husband's family in the city? If he dares to treat my sister badly, I'll break his legs."
Because of her younger brother's words, Ye Xiaoxin's eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face.
Actually, she herself was very conflicted. Who doesn't yearn for city life? But during her time in the city, she could always hear people discriminating against rural people.
If she were to marry a city person, she would probably be bullied to death.
Tao Qiuyan had been talking to her about this for a while, and if it weren't for this incident, Ye Xiaoxin would still be hesitant.
But after experiencing this, she understood.
Her mother wanted to go back to Pingba Village because she couldn't adapt to life there, so she decided to go back and find someone to marry so she could take care of her mother.
His younger brother, Ye Beiping, told him to develop his career in the city, do business, and make a lot of money.
Tao Qiuyan smiled when she heard Ye Beiping's words. At the same time, she was very fortunate. At least her son and daughter had a good relationship. Even if her daughter was bullied in her husband's family in the future, it would be good if her younger brother could support her.
Parents everywhere, regardless of whether they have sons or daughters, all hope that their children will live well and marry well.
Ye Beiping glanced back and forth between Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin, then picked up his bowl again and said, "No matter what, I don't agree to you going back. If my sister has nothing to do, I'll find her something to do. Mom, you've worked hard for half your life, it's time for you to rest."
“If you really want to go back, then I will send you back. Xinyi will go back with you. We will stay until the New Year and then come back. That’s my bottom line.”
After saying that, he began to eat heartily.
How could Tao Qiuyan not understand her son's thoughts?
Su Xinyi then expressed her opinion: "Mom, I agree with Beiping's idea. If you really want to go back, then let's go back together. Otherwise, Beiping will be criticized behind her back."
In the end, Tao Qiuyan sighed and agreed.
She was at her wit's end; the thought of her son being scolded by the villagers pained her deeply.
