Chapter 46 Cui Family
"What! Your mother wants to divorce your sister?"
Ye Dajun felt that he was confused since the beginning of the day and could not even hear what his niece was saying.
Ye Xiulan began to persuade her uncle, "Uncle, my sister should have divorced long ago. What kind of people are the Cui family? They only bully my sister. My mother said that we will get a divorce certificate tomorrow. Can we, the Ye family, still be humble and subservient to the Cui family forever?"
Ye Dajun didn't know what to say. How could they just get divorced? No family in the nearby brigade had ever been in such a mess.
He knew that his eldest niece had a hard life, but divorce was really unacceptable, so he could only look at his parents for help.
Old Man Ye smoked his pipe without saying a word. Seeing that he was silent, Old Lady Ye could not help but urged him, "Old Man, you should come up with an idea. What should we do about Xiuhong's divorce? The second family usually makes trouble, but can they also make trouble about this?"
Zhao Zhaodi realized that her sister-in-law was really crazy. It was fine for her daughter to be sent back, as it had nothing to do with her and she could even laugh at the joke. But divorce would be a big deal, as it would bring disaster to their family's reputation.
"Isn't the Third Elder's family embarrassed enough? Her daughter deserves to be beaten to death for not having a child, Mom and Dad! You two need to take care of Jin Fenglian quickly, otherwise she and her mother will bring disgrace to our Ye family."
When Old Man Ye heard what Zhao Zhaodi said about his granddaughter, he was about to speak when Ye Xiulan interrupted him and said, "Aunt, who do you think deserved it! The people of the Ye family were beaten to death by the Cui family, and the Ye family is honored? Are you happy? I think you and the Cui family are on the same side! Why don't you just marry into their family? Anyway, you don't want our family to be well!"
Ye Xiulan angrily scolded Zhao Zhaodi.
"You stupid little girl, I..." Zhao Zhaodi was about to hit Ye Xiulan when Ye Dajun grabbed her. "What are you doing? You have no right to speak here. Just listen to me."
"Bang bang"
Old Man Ye knocked on the table that looked like his pipe, looked at the people in the room, and asked Ye Xiulan, "Lan, what did your sister say?"
Ye Xiulan was immediately discouraged. "Grandpa, my sister has been like a lost soul these past two days. She doesn't say anything and doesn't eat much. She must have been bullied by the Cui family and has become stupid. My mom asked her for a divorce but she didn't say anything. Let's get a divorce for my sister right away. She used to be so beautiful when she was at home. Look at her now. If she goes back, she will be tortured to death."
Ye Xiulan ran over and pried at her grandfather, hugging her arms and shaking him to beg for his consent. Seeing that he was still considering it, she continued to persuade him, "If there is no food for my sister at home, then give half of mine to my sister. We can eat from one bowl. Grandpa, you don't know that the Cui family never gives my sister enough to eat."
Hearing this, Old Mrs. Ye, who loved her child very much, couldn't help it. When her granddaughter was at home, the whole family loved her. She had watched the child grow up being bullied to the point that she couldn't even eat.
"Old man, why don't we think about how to get a divorce? Xiuhong is such a good child."
Old man Ye has thought it through now. If Xiuhong is not brought back, she will probably not live in the Cui family for many years. It's a joke, but his Ye family still needs this to make a living.
The decision was made, "Big brother, pack your things. Later you and the second brother's family will go to Cui's house to explain clearly that Xiuhong will not be returning."
When Ye Xiulan heard her grandfather agreed, she could no longer sit still. "Thank you, Grandpa. I'll go home and talk to him."
He happily ran home to tell his mother the news.
Leaving behind the confused Ye Dajun, okay, his father has agreed, what else can he do, he will go and stand up for his niece later.
"Mom! My grandpa agreed and said that uncle can go with us." Ye Xiulan pushed open the door and shouted into the house from the yard.
"Oh, good! Fortunately your grandfather isn't such a fool. I don't know who your idiot father takes after!"
Jin Fenglian continued to make breakfast happily. She knew that Old Man Ye was a rare sensible person in the Ye family, but she didn't know how he gave birth to these two foolish brothers who had nothing to do with each other.
"I've heard from your grandma before that your second uncle is a sensible man. I guess the two brothers' minds are all inherited from the second uncle."
Ye Xiuhong helped her mother pass a bundle of firewood and asked curiously, "Is Second Uncle very smart?"
Jin Fenglian flipped the pancake over, thought for a moment, and said, "At least he's better than your father. Look at how ugly your father is. How could he have given birth to someone as smart as you? You must have taken after the second brother!"
Jin Fenglian brushed Ye Sanxing aside with a few words. What a fool! Fortunately, her child didn't follow him.
Her mother-in-law told me that the family was hiding from the war in the early years and the second son who was lost was a smart man. If it weren't for the second son's intelligence, the family would have been gone long ago. It's a pity that there has been no news for more than 40 years. He is probably gone long ago. The second son is a taboo in the Ye family and no one dares to mention him. When her mother-in-law thinks of the second son, she will faint from heartache.
"Don't mention the second child in front of your grandma, or she will cry." Jin Fenglian warned her daughter.
"I know, I'm not stupid."
"Okay, eat a pancake quickly and go call your brother." Jin Xiu Lian handed the freshly-made egg pancake wrapped with some pickles to her daughter, and sucked the oil off her hands. In order to have strength for later, she spent a lot of money this morning and put a full spoonful of oil in it.
After finishing the cake, Ye Xiulan took another cake into her pocket and went to find her brother Ye Xiushan.
Ye Xiushan works as an apprentice at a pig farm not far from his home. He helps raise and slaughter pigs and earns ten yuan a month, which is considered a good job besides the state-owned factories.
"Brother!" As soon as Ye Xiulan entered the factory, she saw Ye Xiushan stirring pig feed.
The Ye family members are all fair and beautiful. His brother is very eye-catching standing in the messy pig farm and can be seen at a glance.
"Xiu Lan, why are you here? Is it vacation?" Ye Xiushan looked at his sister with some confusion. The pig farm was just one village away from their home, but the girl was usually too lazy to come to see him.
"Brother, you don't know yet, our sister is being bullied to death by the Cui family. Mom is going to the Cui family today to file for divorce. You should stop working, take a leave, find some useful work, and go to the Cui family with us." Ye Xiulan pushed Ye Xiushan and asked him to put down the work in his hands.
"Why are you getting divorced all of a sudden? What happened to our sister?" Ye Xiushan asked his sister anxiously. The Cui family was not a good family. Why did they bully his sister this time?
Listening to his sister talking about her sister all the way, Ye Xiushan, holding the pig-killing hook, was so angry that he ran very fast, leaving Ye Xiulan far behind.
"Brother! Brother, wait for me." The two of them chased each other back home, and almost all the Ye family members gathered.
Today, except for Zhao Zhaodi who didn't want to come, everyone went to work in the fields, including Old Man Ye, Old Lady Ye, Ye Dajun, Ye Sanxing and Jin Fenglian.
Seeing that her son had returned, Jin Fenglian prepared to leave for the Cui family, leaving her eldest daughter to be taken care of by her parents-in-law.
Seeing that his whole family was about to get divorced, Ye Sanxing felt that it was useless for him to object, so he simply joined in to avoid being scolded by his father.
Cui family
"Oh, look at this girl, she's so pretty, she looks like she'll give birth. How about we get married today and have a son the day after tomorrow?"
Old Mrs. Cui liked the girl introduced by the matchmaker. She was strong and had a big butt. She looked good at work and could give birth to grandchildren. She was much better than her previous daughter-in-law, who had a foxy face and could not do anything but had bewitched her son.
Zhang Erzhu looked at the girl found by the matchmaker and felt disgusted. She was dark, fat, with eyes as small as mung beans, and pockmarks on her face. How could she compare with Xiuhong? Xiuhong was a fairy.
