Chapter 43 Ye Xiuhong
Li Gouqin was pinched by his brother and came to his senses. It turned out that it was really his father. How come he was home the next day when he closed his eyes and opened them again?
He stood obediently behind his brother and stole a glance at his father.
"Let's ignore him, Boss. Come and eat, Gouzi. Mom has prepared a table full of delicious food for you guys. Let's nourish ourselves."
Li Gouqin hugged his mother's arm and slid to the dining table. "Mom, I missed you so much. This fish looks so tender."
Father Li looked at the mother and her two children having a lively time together and felt a little envious. He touched his nose and went to eat with gritted teeth.
Mother Li rolled her eyes at him and pushed the bird's nest, sea cucumber and lamb chops in front of her son, leaving only a few small cold dishes in front of Father Li.
Seeing the good atmosphere, Li Tianqin quickly struck while the iron was hot. "Dad, we recently met a friend. He's from the mainland and we haven't been in touch for decades. We're trying to find him. What do you think?"
When Father Li heard this, he knew that these two people had no good intentions tonight. No wonder they went home, like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken.
But who made him such a high-ranking official? Look, his son has come back to him obediently.
He wiped his mouth pretentiously and spoke in an official tone to his son.
"It's not difficult, it's just you guys..."
Father Li gave them a look that said "you understand". Li Tianqin twitched his lips and he knew that begging his father would not get him through this hurdle and was about to continue lobbying.
Mother Li snatched the bowl from Father Li.
"At home, just listen to me and tell me what to do. If you don't, you won't eat this meal!"
In the past two years, her son ran away from home, which made Li's mother angry. She had long disliked Li's father. Now her son asked him to do some small things but he refused. He is so capable!
"Look, look, look, I can't find it anymore. Give me the bowl quickly." Father Li leaned half of his body over the table to take back his bowl.
Li Tianqin didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
The next day, Chenggong took the phone number of the Luohu Port connection point given by his father and returned to the small two-story shop in Mong Kok. Now he has an office on the first floor and he and his younger brother live on the second floor. It's perfect.
Li Tianqin contacted the contact person and said that he was a friend looking for relatives and gave the address from forty years ago.
Ye Lin was worried that his identity as a capitalist and half-foreign would affect the Ye family in the mainland, so he wanted to keep it secret.
Li Tianqin only said that his friend's surname was Ye, and his family members in the mainland were called Ye Changnian and Liu Guohua.
The liaison office usually doesn't bother to deal with such trivial matters, but the person who called today was the son of the West Kowloon Police Headquarters. They didn't want to offend him, so they reluctantly said that they would contact the mainland within two days to verify the situation for Li Tianqin.
Repulse Bay Leaf Mansion
Ye Lin sat on the sofa in the cloakroom, looking at the rows of watches in the display cabinet.
Patek Philippe, Rolex, Vacheron Constantin, Richard Mille, etc., the world's top luxury watches are gathered here.
Ye Lin is negotiating with 000
"Xiao Ling, can't I really take these out and exchange them for money? Look, they're useless lying here. The young master doesn't like wearing watches, and I don't like them much either. It's a waste."
000 refused to listen to his nonsense and said, "No, that's not possible. This is the young master's property. You have no right to control it."
Here comes the loophole.
Ye Lin gave a fake smile, "Then I can use my things."
000I felt like something was wrong, but I couldn't figure out what it was.
"Well, yes."
"Then I'll go sell the painting Anna gave me."
000 then realized, "Ah, this is against the rules."
Ye Lin picked out a houndstooth coat and fixed his hair in front of the mirror. "This is something Anna gave me, Ye Lin. What's wrong with it? Tell me."
000I can’t tell.
Ye Lin successfully got Ah Hui to sell the oil painting for 8 million US dollars.
After some bargaining, he took out 1 million to pay the Li brothers first, and gave the remaining 7 million to the stingy system to pay off the debt.
After all these operations, Ye Lin was still a pauper.
Ye Lin fiddled with the chocolate mousse on the porcelain plate with a silver fork, and propped up his chin to look out the window at the flower-filled garden.
I sighed and said, "I never thought that I would have no money to spend in my two lifetimes."
Inland, Xiahe Village
The latest news in Xiahe Village has changed again, and it is about Ye Laosan’s family at the east end of the village.
The eldest daughter of Ye Laosan was sent back by her in-laws because she couldn't have children. It was so embarrassing.
"If I were her in-laws, I'd be pissed off at her. Look at how glamorous she is, she doesn't look like someone who can live a normal life. Not only can she not work in the fields, she can't even lay an egg. She's worse than the chickens in the henhouse that can lay two eggs a day!"
Aunt Zhang, who was twisting a hemp rope, teased Ye Xiuhong with the people in the village.
Her son Erniu had been clamoring to marry Ye Xiuhong, but how could that be possible? She looked delicate and delicate, and she couldn't even lay an egg. Fortunately, she didn't give in and quickly married her son to a woman from Shanghe Village. She was plump and strong, and she looked capable. As expected, she gave birth to a grandson.
"Not really. In the past, Ye Lao San's daughter, Jin Fenglian, was always saying that her daughters were all very beautiful. Her tail was almost raised to the sky. These two Tianmen dared not even leave. They deserved it!"
Aunt Zhuang standing by had long disliked Jin Fenglian. She was the only one who could show off every day. She even married into a good family, had an obedient husband, and her children were all prettier than the other. The old couple of the Ye family didn't make things difficult for her. How could Jin Fenglian be so lucky!
"It's not easy for the girl either. You should all stop talking. I don't know what to do in the future."
The one who spoke up for Ye Xiuhong was Aunt Miao, who lived next door to Ye Laosan. Xiuhong had grown up under her care, and she felt bad seeing Ye Xiuhong living like this.
Ye Laosan, Ye Sanxing's family
Ye Xiuhong hasn't eaten for two days. She can't eat and can't give birth to a child. What's the point of her still living?
Although she didn't go out, she knew that the news had spread throughout the village and people from head to toe were laughing at her.
Her mother had not dared to go out for two days. As for her younger sister Xiulan, many people had come to see her, including one from the city. Her mother thought he was good and was about to marry him, but then people found out that she was infertile. The family said that if she was infertile, Xiulan might not be able to either, so they quickly called off the marriage. Xiulan's reputation was also ruined, and people in the village began to say that both sisters were infertile.
Ye Xiuhong lay in bed, muttering in a trance, "Xiu Lan is only 15 years old. It's all my fault. I deserve to die. I deserve to die. I can't bring disaster to her. I can't bring disaster to my family. I can't."
She propped herself up stiffly and looked through the window at the hemp rope that Golden Phoenix Lotus was twisting in the yard.
He felt weak and could only stagger out little by little, holding on to the earthen wall.
While there was no one in the yard, I took a hemp rope and hid it under my pillow. My heart was pounding and my mind was blank. I didn't know what I was doing.
Boss Ye, Ye Dajun's family
Old man Ye and his wife live with the eldest son. Old man Ye is called Ye Changnian and old lady Ye is called Liu Guohua.
They are Ye Changnian and Liu Guohua that Ye Lin is looking for.
The old couple sat at the main seat at the dinner table, eating multi-grain dumplings mixed with cornmeal. This was the food given by the younger children to show their filial piety to the old couple. It was different from the coarse grain dumplings eaten by the eldest children, and tasted smoother.
But today, Old Man Ye couldn't eat at all.
"What's wrong, Dad? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
The eldest brother Ye Dajun asked his father worriedly, his father didn't care about 77, he could eat two big dumplings in one meal and was in good health.
"You may not know from the factory these days, but Xiuhong from the third family has been sent back by her mother-in-law. What are we going to do with this child?"
