Granny Zhao sneered, "Who regrets it? Cai Ping is going to marry a nobleman's son."
"A good-for-nothing who even lost his scholar's degree, how could he expect Cai Ping to care about him? He should take a piss and look at himself in the mirror!"
"Bullshit! Bullshit!" Granny Li screamed madly, her eyes red, cursing wildly, "How could a lowly woman like her, who beat her mother-in-law and was divorced, get married? Why? Ye Caiping, you lowly woman, get out here and tell me why you—ahhh!"
Before she could finish speaking, a stick flew out of the door and hit Granny Li squarely in the face.
With a "bang," Granny Li was knocked backward and fell to the ground. When she raised her head again, her nose was bleeding profusely.
Duanwu and Granny Feng walked out together.
Before Granny Li could even scream, Granny Feng had already rushed forward, expertly grabbed her collar, and started fanning her with a loud bang:
"Why? Why do you think I should? Of course, it's because of that big stick and my slap!"
"Aaaaaah—Help—"
"What did I tell you last time? Insulting a seventh-rank lady, thirty slaps! Now start counting, one, two, three, five, six... Oops, I miscounted, let's start again, one, two, three—"
"Ahhh—" *Pfft*, two front teeth fell out...
Li Zhiyuan stood up blankly, like a walking corpse, as if he couldn't see or hear that Granny Li was being beaten, and dragged himself out step by step.
He muttered to himself as he walked, "Married, married... Hahaha, did you think I, Li Zhiyuan, would care?"
"Hahaha! I, Li Zhiyuan, have never regretted divorcing you! I just think Zhang Shuiniang is a thousand times, a hundred times better than you! Shuiniang is the person I love most! Even if you can earn a hundred million taels, it's still not as good as one of Shuiniang's fingers!"
right!
He has no regrets at all!
He doesn't care about Ye Caiping at all!
I've never regretted it...
Even as he said and thought these things, his heart still felt like it was being pricked by needles, a constant, unbearable ache.
One after another, waves of sour and bitter fluid kept rising to my head...
Soaking him in it made his intestines look like they had turned green.
...
Granny Li lost four front teeth in the end, her mouth was full of blood, and she ran away as if fleeing.
She walked along the village road, wailing and crying so loudly that the sky darkened and the sun and moon lost their light.
Compared to the pain in her mouth, her heartache was a thousand times greater.
Everything is gone!
All my dreams are shattered!
Ye Caiping didn't care about what happened to Granny Li.
Moreover, Ye Caiping and Shen Zhiyan were unaware of everything that was happening outside.
They are discussing marriage.
It was finally agreed that we would depart for Beijing on November 18.
We'll be spending the Lunar New Year in Beijing. The wedding is set for the 20th day of the first lunar month, after the wedding, and we'll return home. The wedding date here is set for March 22nd.
After the discussion was completed, the Shen family left.
As soon as they left, Aunt Ye and the others stepped forward with smiles: "Caiping, congratulations!"
Ye Hufen: "Tsk tsk, I originally wanted to stay at my little sister's house for another two or three months, but now I have no choice but to move out. Otherwise, I won't have anywhere to put the betrothal gifts."
Ye Caiping chuckled: "It's not that exaggerated. You can continue to stay. There are three empty side rooms and three more outbuildings outside, so there's no room left."
Ye Daquan squeezed through the crowd: "Little sister, it's already the twelfth of the month today. You have to set off in six or seven days. You're going to the capital... I don't care, I'm going too!"
Ye Caiping chuckled: "I was planning to bring you along anyway."
As she spoke, she looked at Old Man Ye with some concern.
Old Man Ye said, "You should take Daquan's whole family to the capital. With so many people, it will be easier to send you off for your wedding. By the way, Yong'er and Xiuxiu can't go. Xiuxiu is already seven months pregnant."
Ye Yong supported Hu Xiuxiu's waist and nodded: "I'll stay home to take care of Grandpa, Grandma, and Xiuxiu."
"Erquan..." Old Man Ye looked at Ye Erquan.
Ye Erquan looked at him with guilt and envy, and said with a wry smile, "I... I have a lot of things to do at home... I really can't leave. I'll stay here to take care of our parents. Big brother, I'll leave my little sister in your care."
He was really worried.
There are one, two, or three in the family, and none of them are easy to deal with!
Without his restraint, who knows what kind of trouble they would cause? Besides, Ye Caiping and the eldest son have both gone on a long trip, leaving only the most honest Ye Yong behind, which he doesn't trust.
Ye Caiping looked at Ye Erquan and said, "Then we'll have to trouble you and Yong'er, my parents."
Ye Erquan nodded guiltily.
Ye Caiping then looked at Ye Lizheng and Uncle Ye: "During my absence, I'll be leaving the furniture workshop in your care, Uncle Lizheng."
Ye Li patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, leave it all to us."
The group discussed what to bring to the capital, and then returned home one by one.
...
Ye Li was in a good mood as he returned home. Just as he was about to enter his house, he suddenly heard a series of cries and curses coming from the neighboring yard.
Ye Li frowned; this courtyard belonged to his nephew, Ye Rong.
As Ye Li walked in, he heard Ye Hongying crying and cursing:
"Waaaaah... What kind of nonsense is this? Mr. Shen is a son of a marquis, why does he take a fancy to a 30-year-old woman and look down on me, a 17-year-old girl? He's blind!"
Ye Lizheng was furious upon hearing this and strode in, shouting, "What's all the noise about?"
Inside the main room, Aunt Rong and Ye Hongying were cursing when they heard this sound, and they were both startled.
"Uncle...you...why are you here?" Aunt Rong asked.
"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have heard you all cursing! You're living too well, are you trying to get yourself killed?"
Aunt Rong's face turned ashen.
Ye Hongying said angrily, "Which of my words isn't true? I knew it! The reason she wouldn't introduce me to the class last time was because she was trying to snag a rich husband! That Mr. Shen is blind too. Why would he take a fancy to a 30-year-old woman and look down on a 17-year-old girl like me!"
Ye Lizheng's face darkened: "Are they blind or are you just a loser?"
Aunt Rong was furious when she heard this: "Uncle, how can you insult people like that! What do you mean by 'outdated'? My Hongying has been raised to be a rich girl since she was little, how is she inferior to others?"
Ye Lizheng laughed angrily: "A rich girl? You and your husband only earn five or six taels a month. How can you raise a rich girl? There's a rich girl in Lijia Village with 50 taels. What, is our village going to produce a rich girl with 5 taels of silver?"
Aunt Rong's face turned pale and then red: "So what if it's five taels... We really did raise her well..."
"I spit on your idea of raising a rich young lady with just 5 taels of silver! When did rich young ladies become so worthless that they can be raised with just 5 taels of silver?"
"Saying five taels is giving you too much credit. Just for Ye Lu's schooling, it costs two or three taels a month! Is the money you have left enough to eat meat every day?"
"Raising rich heiresses, my foot! These rich heiresses are just what you all think they are! What rich heiresses are like this?"
...
Sorry everyone, the dates were miscalculated. So we've changed them. Originally, the betrothal ceremony was on November 23rd, but the journey by boat takes over half a month, and we were worried we wouldn't make it in time for the birthday banquet. Therefore, the betrothal ceremony has been changed to November 12th, and we'll depart for the capital on November 18th.
