Ye Caiping said, "I also heard about this from Tie Niu's wife."
Ye Yong was stunned, his face turning pale: "At that time... we had already left the village, but in the end I still couldn't get over that mental hurdle... I really couldn't do such a thing."
“I know I’m incompetent. But I’ve tried my best! I’ve worked hard at farming and chopping and carrying firewood, but in the end… even though I’ve used all my strength, I still can’t meet Aunt Hu’s requirements.”
"Do I really have to elope with her regardless of everything, or just ruin her life? But... I can't do that..."
"I thought I had let go, but when I heard that she was really engaged, I... I couldn't accept it!"
As he spoke, Ye Yong squatted down on the ground, clutching his head in pain: "Auntie, I'm just a useless person."
Ye Caiping shook her head: "No, you're fine."
He was just an honest and simple farmer, deeply bound by worldly moral concepts.
He had struggled and tried his best, using all his strength, but in the end, he was still defeated.
Ye Caiping said, "If I told you I had a way to get you to marry Xiuxiu, would you be willing?"
Ye Yong was startled and looked at Ye Caiping in disbelief: "Auntie, you...you're not kidding me, are you?"
Why would I comfort you?
Ye Yong stood up and asked urgently, "What's the solution?"
“But you need to understand one thing,” Ye Caiping sighed, “If you really marry her, you have to be prepared to take care of her seven younger brothers.”
"Don't worry, Auntie, I've already prepared for this. I didn't just find out about her brothers overnight."
"Besides, even if she doesn't marry me... I can't let go of the other two mistresses."
Ye Caiping rubbed her temples. She really had to lock herself up with Xiuxiu!
First love plus unrequited love... a triple buff!
Even if Xiuxiu really marries someone else, Ye Yong will still help Hu Xiaosi and his kids.
After all, they're from the same village, and they'll run into each other all the time, so Ye Yong couldn't possibly not help.
“We already faced many obstacles before she was engaged… Now that she is engaged, how can I…” Ye Yong was anxious and worried.
Ye Caiping laughed and said, "That's easy. It's much easier to ruin a person than to make them successful."
Ye Yong's eyes widened: "Auntie means... no, no! If I had been willing to use this method, things wouldn't have come to this."
His face turned bright red as he spoke.
"What are you thinking?" Ye Caiping said with a teasing look. This kid, does he think she wants him to sleep with Xiuxiu?
"No... I didn't expect it to go anywhere." Ye Yong's face turned even redder.
Ye Caiping said, "My method is to take away whatever Xiuxiu's mother is most proud of. I want to shatter her self-righteous pride and confidence inch by inch!"
Ye Yong was completely bewildered.
"Brother Yong!" At this moment, a small figure rushed over; it was Hu Xiaosi.
He cried with snot and tears streaming down his face: "I don't want my sister to marry that carpenter... Waaah..."
Ye Yonglian gently patted his head and looked at Ye Caiping: "Auntie..."
Judging from their relationship, Ye Caiping knew that Hu Xiaosi strongly approved of the two of them being together.
He then asked, "You are Xiuxiu's younger brother. What is your birth order?"
Hu Xiaosi knew Ye Caiping, but this was the first time he had spoken to her, and knowing that Ye Caiping was very capable, he was somewhat timid.
"I am Xiao Si."
Ye Caiping nodded: "Why don't you want Xiuxiu to marry Cai the carpenter? I heard he has shops, big houses, and money. With a brother-in-law like that, you two will benefit a lot in the future."
Hu Xiaosi lowered his head: "I...I don't want to take advantage of this. I just want my sister to be happy."
Hu Xiaosi knew that only by marrying Ye Yong could his sister be happy.
Ye Caiping nodded. "She's a good one, and she looks like a clever little devil!"
"I have a plan. If you do as I say, I guarantee your sister and your brother Yong will be a perfect match."
As he spoke, he began to discuss it with Ye Yong and Hu Xiaosi.
The more Ye Yong and Hu Xiaosi listened, the brighter their eyes became. Good heavens, how come they hadn't thought of that!
Ye Caiping laughed and said, "In that case, Xiuxiu won't get hurt, and neither will the carpenter. Only Xiuxiu's mother will get hurt! Go back and ask your sister if she's willing to ruin her reputation in that area."
"She'll definitely agree! I'll go back now and then go out in a bit." Hu Xiaosi turned to run away.
"Hey!" Ye Caiping grabbed him. "What's the rush? You can ask her first, then go tomorrow. Let me think... you can take action tomorrow afternoon, otherwise it will be too deliberate and not good for anyone."
"Yes, I'll listen to Aunt Caiping."
"Let's go!" Ye Caiping smiled.
Hu Xiaosi ran off happily.
Ye Yong was a little worried, wondering if this method would be effective for Cai the carpenter.
But this is the best solution. If it doesn't work out, it will prove that Cai the carpenter is a trustworthy person, and Xiuxiu will be happy if she marries him.
"Auntie." Ye Yong knelt down with a thud and kowtowed three times to her. "Whether this succeeds or not, I thank you for your help, Auntie. From now on..."
Ye Caiping was startled by him and quickly pulled him up: "What do you mean by 'later'? We're family, no need to thank me. Go home quickly, your mother and the others are worried sick."
"good."
Ye Yong wiped away the tears on his face, finally feeling relieved, and went home with a relaxed expression.
...
After the engagement, Hu Xiuxiu secluded herself in her room.
Xiuxiu's mother knew she was in a bad mood, but she didn't bother with her and started doing housework herself.
"Sister!" Hu Xiaosi burst into the room with a bang.
Hu Xiuxiu was blinded by the sudden influx of sunlight and quickly shielded her eyes with her hand.
Hu Xiaosi closed the door and then threw himself onto the bed: "Sister, I have something to tell you."
Then, he whispered the plan: "Now it depends on your opinion, whether you are willing to ruin your reputation in that area."
Hu Xiuxiu burst into tears: "I'm willing! I've wanted this worthless title for a long time!"
"Okay. Sister, don't be sad anymore, eat well. I'm going to find Third Brother and Little Fifth, Little Sixth, and Little Seventh now. Wait for our good news."
Looking at the obedient and sensible Hu Xiaosi, Hu Xiuxiu nodded while crying, choking back sobs: "I'm clearly the older sister, but now you're the ones being asked to..."
“Our sister has protected us for many years. Now that we’ve grown up, it’s our turn to protect her from the wind and rain.”
"Um."
The little ones who have always been protected under my wings seem to have really grown up!
