The news that Ye's daughter and son-in-law had returned in their car spread throughout the village in less than an hour, and there was even a growing trend of them moving out of the village.
Naturally, more and more people came to visit the Ye family.
Although everyone had some impression of Ye's son-in-law, it was all from many years ago. According to Ye, this son-in-law was quite remarkable; he had already become a high-ranking officer in the army at a young age.
That's why everyone couldn't resist coming to see for themselves.
People from both villages knew about what had happened between the Ye family girl and the Gao family, and naturally, they were also eager to see if the couple had truly been unaffected.
Most people think that they laugh at poverty but not wealth.
You know, the Ye family used to be the poorest family in the village. But in the past six months, the elderly Ye couple have been frequently seen going out shopping. They even built a few new houses recently. Everyone says nice things, but they're all jealous.
After Ye Wanying and her mother made the bed, they helped pick vegetables in the yard.
"Yingying, we only have half a pound of meat left at home, the one we bought yesterday. Mom will give you some money. Go to Master Wang's house in the village and buy two more pounds of meat."
Mother Ye felt that this was the first time she had hosted her son-in-law, so she couldn't be too stingy.
"Mom, half a pound of meat is enough. There are still so many vegetables here. I just saw two fish in the bucket."
The vegetables at home are all grown by themselves. Since it's just Mr. and Mrs. Ye at home, they can't eat much, so they simply can't finish all the vegetables.
There are cowpeas, eggplants, cucumbers, peppers, and bamboo shoots—enough to fill a whole book—and even fish, yet Ye Mu still thinks it's not enough.
"Yingying, how about Mom kills a chicken and makes some chicken soup later?" Anyway, Mother Ye felt that she couldn't be so stingy when entertaining her son-in-law for the first time.
Ye Wanying felt she had fallen out of favor: "Mom, there's no time to stew chicken now. These are all the dishes we have. Just make do. There's so much food, it's questionable whether we can finish it all."
It took a long time of persuasion for Ye's mother to finally convince her: "Okay, then we definitely have to kill a chicken tonight."
"Fine, you decide!"
The mother and daughter worked quickly, soon picking and washing all the vegetables, ready to chop them and cook them.
Ye Wanying was processing the two fish in the bucket when the guy somehow appeared and looked at the fish swimming around lively in the bucket with great interest.
"Mommy, fish, it's a fish! Look, it's swimming!"
"Fish are meant to swim, just like how we dumplings walk on our feet."
Tuanzi squatted down, her bright eyes fixed on the fish in the bucket: "Mommy, could this be a mermaid?" she asked curiously.
Mermaid?
These are just two ordinary grass carp, nothing special.
cough....
Ye Wanying coughed before speaking, "Idiot, even if there are mermaids, they live in the sea, not in this poor, remote mountain village."
Tuanzi frowned and asked curiously again, "Mommy, what is the sea?"
Since her son was like this, explaining was useless. Ye Wanying thought for a moment and said, "Next time there's a chance, Mom will take you to see the sea!"
Upon hearing this, Tuanzi was naturally delighted: "Great! Let's see the sea and the mermaids!"
Looking at my son's excited face, I wonder if he'll cry if he doesn't see the mermaid?
