Ye Caiping said, "She's blinded by love."
Ye Yong and Hu Xiuxiu exchanged a glance.
Ye Yong said, "When feelings are intense, you really can't hear what others are saying."
“Even if you can’t listen, you should at least know how to restrain yourself! You two didn’t act like this back then.”
Ye Daquan grew angrier as he listened and was about to confront Jin Hua when Ye Caiping stopped him: "Brother, it's no use going to her now. She won't listen to anything you say."
"If she doesn't listen, she doesn't listen. Anyway, I'm not looking for a verbal fight with her! I'm going to slap her twice across the face, and if that doesn't wake her up, I'll beat her up."
Grandma Ye hurriedly stopped her, saying, "Isn't the house already chaotic enough? If you want to cause trouble, go outside and do it. Otherwise, you'll damage the fortune of this house."
Ye Daquan then remembered that this was Ye Caiping's house, and his anger subsided.
Ye Caiping said, "Yong'er, go get the medicine from Doctor Zhao! Xiuxiu, go and brew the medicine. Xuan'er, Jin'er, Huan'er, you two go back to your rooms first."
Only then did the younger children in the family come out of the room.
After closing the door, only Old Man Ye, Old Woman Ye, Ye Daquan, Ye Caiping, and Madam Du lying on the bed remained in the room.
"Sister-in-law, are you alright?" Ye Caiping sat down on the edge of the bed.
Mrs. Du clutched her chest in discomfort: "I'm fine... it's just... I feel weak all over..."
Besides that, my hands and feet were shaking a little, and my heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest.
Ye Caiping knew that this person was extremely angry.
Ye Caiping said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, there's a way to fix this."
She wanted to prepare Du and the others mentally, so they wouldn't be upset again tomorrow.
Sure enough, Madam Du became somewhat anxious: "What do you mean it's not that there's no way? Isn't this all over?"
Not only Mrs. Du, but even Old Lady Ye and others were confused.
Today's marriage proposal... no, it should be called a visit to take a concubine, failed because Zhou Ziyang is already engaged. No matter how much Jin Hua cries and makes a scene, she can't change that fact.
What's most infuriating is that, even though it was clearly the Zhou family's fault, Jin Hua blamed it all on her parents.
No matter what kind of family she marries into in the future, she will always hold a grudge against them.
Mrs. Du felt both angry and aggrieved.
Ye Caiping said, "If nothing unexpected happens, Zhou Ziyang will come to visit again tomorrow!"
"What?!" Ye Daquan roared, "He actually dares to come here? I'll break his legs!"
"No, let him come if he wants. I want to see if he's too cowardly and indecisive, or too shrewd and calculating."
Although she was busy with the workshop and didn't pay much attention to Jin Hua, she still noticed some things.
Even someone as poor as Ye Yong used to help Xiuxiu gather pig feed and do farm work, but what about Zhou Ziyang?
After Jin Hua and Zhou Ziyang got together, her elder brother and sister-in-law never received a single piece of cloth from Jixiang Cloth Shop.
Apart from that Flower Festival, Zhou Ziyang never visited her home once.
Is this the attitude one should have when choosing a wife?
Jin Hua was heartbroken over the concubine incident today. After seeing Zhou Ziyang once, she accurately blamed all the mistakes on her elder brother and sister-in-law. Her ulterior motives were too obvious.
If Zhou Ziyang had admitted even one mistake or felt even a little more remorse, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
He then admitted to the engagement, solidifying the status of the engagement before shifting all responsibility and blame onto Xie and his elder brother and sister-in-law, while he himself gracefully disappeared from the scene.
If he doesn't cause trouble tomorrow, I'll change my name to Ye Caiping.
Ye Caiping said, "Big brother, don't act impulsively tomorrow. If things go wrong, you can move to second brother's house."
Upon hearing this, Ye Daquan exclaimed, "Little sister, don't be angry, I... I won't make a fuss."
He's doing well at his younger sister's house; he can't be moved away.
Moreover, judging from Ye Caiping's words, she should have an idea.
Madam Du propped herself up, crying, "Little sister... I didn't want to trouble you with this, but given the current situation..."
If that guy surnamed Zhou comes to provoke Jin Hua again, I really don't know what to do!
We can't let Jinhua be tricked into becoming a concubine.
Ye Caiping sighed softly, "Sister-in-law, please rest well. I already have a solution."
If Zhou Ziyang doesn't know what's good for him and actually marries Jin Hua properly, she really can't control it, nor does she want to.
But now that he has hurt his elder brother and sister-in-law and caused this mess, it's easy for her to take action.
Then I'll make that guy surnamed Zhou understand what it means to be utterly immoral!
Madam Du and Old Lady Ye knew that Ye Caiping was a shrewd and calculating person. Since she said that, it meant that she was absolutely confident in resolving the matter.
Mrs. Du was relieved.
"Big brother, Caiping, are you there?" Ye Erquan's voice rang out from outside the door.
Grandma Ye was close to the door, so she quickly opened it.
Ye Erquan was seen carrying a lantern, leading Yinhua in.
Ye Erquan said, "I just got back and heard my wife talking about Jinhua... Sigh... Why is my sister-in-law lying here?"
"Hmph, it's all because of that brat, she made the mother of my child faint!"
"Is your sister-in-law alright?" Ye Erquan glanced at the bed.
Although Ms. Du was sitting up on the bed, her clothes were intact.
Madam Du nodded: "Yinhua has come too."
"Yes, I brought her here specifically. She and Jinhua are best friends. Let her sleep with Jinhua tonight, so the two sisters can have a good talk."
Ye Daquan said, "No need. If we let Yinhua live with her now, she'll just suffer from her temper and won't be able to sleep peacefully."
Grandma Ye said worriedly, "But Jinhua has suffered such a great shock, I'm afraid..."
I'm afraid she might do something rash.
Ye Daquan snorted coldly: "Don't worry, she was just crying and making a fuss, how could she bear to die?"
"Alright!"
Ye Erquan then led Yinhua away.
Ye Caiping, Grandma Ye, and others also returned to the house one after another.
...
The next day, after everyone had finished lunch, they were resting in the main room.
Xiao Yan ran in: "Auntie, that guy surnamed Zhou has indeed arrived."
Ye Daquan and Du Shi immediately straightened up.
Ye Caiping said, "Let him in."
After Xiao Yan left, Grandma Ye said, "Da Quan, go back to your room. You'll be carrying a chair again if you don't get it."
Ye Daquan choked for a moment: "I'm not going back, I'm not carrying it."
"Okay, but you're not allowed to speak."
Ye Daquan had no choice but to agree.
Before long, Xiao Yan led Zhou Ziyang in, with a servant following behind him.
As Zhou Ziyang walked through the courtyard, Jin Hua had already seen him through the crack in the window.
She gripped the windowsill tightly, tears welling up in her red and swollen eyes again. Wasn't he already engaged? What was he doing here?
Did he break off the engagement? Or did he ask her to be his concubine?
She could be made a concubine... She's been strong-willed for over ten years, how could she agree to such a thing?
Zhou Ziyang had already entered the main room.
Madam Du's face darkened: "What are you doing here again? Wasn't humiliating me once yesterday enough? Do you have to come a second time?"
Zhou Ziyang looked at Ye Daquan and Madam Du, who were seated at the head of the table, with a face full of guilt: "No... Uncle Ye, Aunt Ye, I'm here today to apologize."
“My feelings for Jinhua are genuine. I put so much effort into persuading my mother, but I never imagined... it would end up like this…”
