During her time at her maternal grandfather's house, Tao Qiuyan also took the initiative to bring up the topic of Jiang Enhua with Tao Shengli.
When she heard that Jiang Enhua had cheated on her husband, and that Ye Dongnan might not even be Ye Sheng's son, Grandma was particularly angry: "That shameless woman, I knew she was no good a long time ago."
Actually, everyone knows that when Grandma scolded Jiang Enhua, it was mostly because Ye Sheng's family had bullied Tao Qiuyan and the others over the years.
Now that their family is like this, Grandma must be very happy.
Tao Shengli hesitated for a moment, then frowned and said, "Sister, isn't the Ye family now just a boy in Beiping?"
The concept of inheritance is very important in rural areas.
They mainly had boys; those without boys were considered to have no male heirs.
The phrase "extinction of the family line" is not just a casual remark; it carries a heavy connotation of mockery, making one the target of ridicule from the entire village.
Just like Tao Shengli, who is over thirty and still unmarried, many people in Taoping Village don't say it to his face, but they all curse Tao Jianqiang and Tao Shengli as having no descendants.
"Yes," Tao Qiuyan replied casually, not thinking anything of it.
Tao Shengli immediately became interested and asked, "Does that mean that the Ye family will belong to Beiping from now on?"
"This..." Tao Qiuyan finally realized, but after thinking for a moment, she shook her head: "We don't lack those things now, so it doesn't matter whether they are or not."
He glanced at Ye Beiping and Ye Xiaoxin not far away and said, "Beiping and Xiaoxin don't really want to have anything to do with them. They hate them, so let's just leave it at that. Anyway, we're going to Hangzhou after the New Year, so we'll only see each other during holidays at most, and we might not even see each other again."
"I see." Tao Shengli said with some regret.
Even a house was very valuable to farmers in those days.
But considering Ye Beiping's ability to make money, he didn't say much.
Ye Beiping had been eavesdropping the whole time. Thinking that Tao Shengli was still unmarried, he said, "Uncle, why don't you come with us to Hangzhou after you find a wife? You can't stay at home farming forever."
“This…” After thinking for a moment, Tao Shengli glanced at Tao Jianqiang and his grandmother and shook his head in refusal: “Your grandparents are getting old. I’d better stay in Taoping Village. At least I’ll have someone to take care of them.”
"that is."
Tao Qiuyan was initially very tempted, but then she thought about how her parents were getting old and how someone would have to take care of them while she was away, so she agreed with Tao Shengli.
It wasn't that she was biased, but she felt that her younger brother would be better off at home.
Tao Shengli wouldn't have the brains to worry about business every day like Ye Beiping.
"Alright."
Seeing that Tao Shengli and his mother had both refused, Ye Beiping did not bring it up again.
After dinner, the family returned to Pingba Village.
Some villagers who had visited nearby for the New Year have returned, while others, who may have lived further away, were in complete darkness at night without any lights on.
At least 20% of the houses are dark.
If you were to walk alone in this kind of rural area, someone with a weak mentality might easily become ill from fright.
The next morning.
Ye Beiping had just gotten up when there was a noise at the door.
He stepped out of the room with a slight frown and saw two people he never expected.
"Brother Jiang Hai, Jiang He, what brings you here?" Ye Beiping was shocked to see the two of them.
You should know that it's not close at all from Jianghai's village.
Putting aside whether there are any train services now, the route itself is far from short, requiring multiple transfers.
Tao Qiuyan was inviting the two of them into the house.
Jiang Hai was overjoyed to hear Ye Beiping's voice: "Beiping, you haven't gained weight after the New Year."
"Haha." Ye Beiping laughed heartily.
This kind of teasing might be a custom in Jiang Hai's area.
Actually, Pingba Village also has this, but people only say these things after the New Year.
"Come in and sit down, it's cold outside." Ye Beiping looked at the snowy weather and immediately invited the two of them to sit by the brazier.
Jiang Hai and Jiang He responded and sat down beside the brazier.
“You wouldn’t believe how many times my brother and I changed trains to get here from Beiping. We arrived last night, rested in town, and then found your village early this morning. We had to ask several households before we finally found you,” Jiang He said, as if taking credit for his efforts.
Yes, yes, yes.
Ye Beiping poured hot water for the two of them and also brought out some melon seeds, peanuts and candy to serve them.
After the group sat down, he finally spoke, "Why did you all decide to come all this way? It's so far, why bother? The weather isn't good either."
Jiang Hai took the hot water with both hands, shook his head and said, "You don't know, Jiang He and I brought back a total of fifty or sixty thousand yuan. Our parents were overjoyed. When they heard that it was you who helped us earn the money, they kicked us out on the first day of the Lunar New Year."
"well."
His tone was filled with endless sighs.
Upon hearing this, Ye Beiping couldn't help but find it amusing.
It's probably because Jiang Hai and Jiang He's parents considered him a benefactor to the whole family, which is why they kicked the two brothers out of the house on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
But that's good too, at least we don't have to go around visiting relatives and friends for the New Year.
"Looks like you didn't get any peace and quiet during the New Year. Now that you've taken the money back, the whole village is practically begging to curry favor with you," Ye Beiping quipped.
"yes."
Jiang He sighed with a headache when he talked about it: "The day we got back, a group of people came to us, asking how much money we had made. They probably already heard about it somewhere."
"Luckily, I could handle it. On New Year's Eve, they asked me to go play cards, but I didn't go. I stayed home and went to bed early."
