After a busy afternoon, Tao Shengli was also covered in sweat.
Back in Taoping Village, Ye Beiping found Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin and told them what he had learned that afternoon.
Tao Qiuyan was extremely surprised after hearing this: "Doesn't your second uncle care about him?"
Even Ye Xiaoxin was filled with righteous indignation: "They are beasts, a whole family of beasts."
Despite his mother's and sister's anger, Ye Beiping remained calm.
Because in the afternoon I was already plotting how to scheme against this family.
"Mom, I know what you're thinking, and I support you." Ye Beiping said directly, seeing Tao Qiuyan's uneasy expression.
Tao Qiuyan, however, was somewhat surprised: "What did you say? You support me?"
"Mm." Ye Beiping nodded generously.
Ye Xiaoxin was displeased: "Beiping, what are you saying? You want Mom to go and serve that... old man again."
She dared not utter the last three words, otherwise she would definitely be scolded by Tao Qiuyan.
Ye Beiping raised an eyebrow and spread his hands: "Then what should we do? Are we really going to let him die in that warehouse? What will people in the village say about our family then? Ungrateful wretch? We've got money and we don't even care about our own grandfather?"
"Or is it... ingratitude?"
Hearing this, Ye Xiaoxin became even more furious: "What ingrates? What ungrateful wretch? Ever since I was old enough to understand, I've never seen them do anything for our family."
Looking at her daughter's expression, Tao Qiuyan's heart began to pound.
After all, she values filial piety very much. If her father, Tao Jianqiang, and Tao Shengli hadn't disagreed, she would have wanted to come back to serve her parents and show them respect.
In the end, Tao Jianqiang retorted with a single sentence: "I'm not dead yet, I can live for at least a few more years. If you come back now and stay at home every day, what will the villagers say?"
Yes, it was precisely this kind of atmosphere that put Tao Qiuyan in a dilemma.
Even if it meant taking a loss, she was almost always willing to grant her father-in-law Ye Jianguo's requests.
Seeing Ye Xiaoxin's chest heaving, Ye Beiping knew she was furious, so he could only say to Tao Qiuyan, "Mom, go after the house is repaired in a few days. I support you."
"Hmm." Tao Qiuyan also understood. She felt that this matter still needed to be done, at least to prevent her son and daughter from having anything to say about it in Pingba Village.
But Ye Beiping didn't think so.
Doing something is one thing, but doing it to a certain extent is another.
Before Ye Xiaoxin could speak angrily, Ye Beiping interrupted her.
"But Mom, let's make a three-point agreement. First, he can't come into our house."
"Huh?" Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin were stunned and made a sound of doubt.
On the one hand, they support Tao Qiuyan in taking care of Ye Jianguo, but on the other hand, they don't let her into their home.
What is the reason for this?
Seeing their confusion, Ye Beiping could only smile and explain, "I can build a simple house in the yard next to our house. I guarantee it won't leak wind or rain, and I'll provide the best bedding and beds. All you need to do every day is deliver vegetables and meals."
"We only have two rooms in our house. If he goes there, where will Xinyi and I sleep?"
"This..." Tao Qiuyan was speechless for a moment.
Yes, Ye Jianguo is here. Where did Ye Beiping and Su Xinyi go?
It seemed that Ye Beiping's suggestion was the best, so Tao Qiuyan could only nod in agreement: "Okay."
Ye Xiaoxin remained silent, looking at Ye Beiping with a strange expression.
She knew her own brother well; he was full of bad intentions, and his support for their mother this time was probably not out of kindness.
Since that's the case, I'll just stand aside and watch the show.
Ye Beiping nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Secondly, have Ye Sheng send over two chickens every month as living expenses, since old people need to be nourished."
Um?
This made Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin exchange a glance, even more confused.
They won't let me in because there are no rooms available.
But what about the support fee for these two chickens?
Ye Xiaoxin remained silent.
Tao Qiuyan frowned and thought for a moment. It was just two chickens; Ye Sheng wouldn't be so stingy, would he?
He nodded and said, "I'll go tell them."
“No need for that. I’ll have Uncle Wu and Uncle Hou speak on it. They’re the leaders in this matter, so their word is the most impartial. If you go and they just give verbal promises without taking any real action, it doesn’t count,” Ye Beiping said, frowning.
“Okay.” Tao Qiuyan had no problem with this.
Ye Beiping chuckled after seeing that he had agreed to the first two conditions: "Thirdly, we will take care of Ye Jianguo, and in return, half of Ye Jianguo's house will be ours."
Good lad.
Tao Qiuyan believed she had discovered Ye Beiping's secret: he was doing business with his own family.
It turns out it was all for Ye Jianguo's house.
Only Ye Xiaoxin looked at Ye Beiping strangely, wondering if it was really for a dilapidated house in the countryside.
Does Ye Beiping plan to retire in Pingba Village in the future?
Ptooey! Ptooey!
There's no need for such a dilapidated house for retirement. When Ye Beiping gets old, the house will be older than him. It's uncertain whether the house will shelter him from the rain or he will be adding bricks and tiles to the house.
However, Tao Qiuyan asked with some difficulty, "I'm afraid they won't agree to that, will they?"
"You have no choice but to agree." Ye Beiping snorted and analyzed for Tao Qiuyan, "Mom, let me do the math for you. Do you know how much money and energy it takes to take care of someone who has had a stroke and can't move? Let's not even talk about food. If they don't eat well, they might develop all sorts of problems, and they might even die from some complications."
"Secondly, if you take care of him, you definitely won't be able to do anything. Just calculate based on the lowest work points in Pingba Village, have you thought about how much grain that would amount to in a year?"
