Ms. Wang happened to be on vacation these past few days.
She got up early in the morning to help with cooking.
After finishing cooking, he went to the vegetable garden in the yard to pull weeds, without stopping for a moment.
Lin Yan couldn't stop her, so she could only let her go and open the door.
"Uncle? Grandma, Grandpa, what brings you all here? Please come in and sit down."
Lin Yan's maternal grandfather married into the Ye family and took his wife Ye Jing's surname, changing his name to Ye Wen.
He was also extremely gentle, so Ye Jing made the decisions on all matters, big and small, at home.
The same applies this time.
Yesterday, upon hearing that her youngest son had found a woman he liked, Ye Jing couldn't wait to urge him to come and propose marriage.
Upon hearing that Ye Jun's parents had arrived, Wang Shi paused in her weeding.
She hurriedly stood up and used the nearby water to wash her muddy hands clean.
Ye Jun was Ye Jing's son, born late in life.
Therefore, the couple was much older than Ms. Wang.
Facing her in-laws who were around the same age as her elders, Wang, who was usually eloquent, became quite reserved.
On the other side, Ye Jun quietly pulled Lin Yan aside, his face full of worry.
"Yan'er, I just took my parents to the Xie family to propose marriage, but they said Miss Xie is currently at your house. What's going on?"
"I'll tell you later. I'll go call Sister Xie Li out. You two should finalize the marriage as soon as possible."
Xie Li never expected Ye Jun to act so quickly!
He just got home yesterday, and this morning he came to propose marriage...
To make a good impression on them, she specially changed into a padded jacket that had only been made recently.
She originally planned to wear this jacket for the Chinese New Year.
When Xie Li appeared in the courtyard wearing a light red new jacket, Ye Jun's eyes widened instantly!
The tips of his ears quickly turned bright red, and he didn't dare to meet her gaze at all...
A look of amazement flashed in Ye Jing's eyes.
She believed that her eldest daughter was the most beautiful girl in the surrounding area.
But the girl in front of her was even more beautiful than her daughter!
Especially her overall demeanor; one glance was enough to tell she came from a distinguished family.
Her face was beaming with joy, and she couldn't help but take a few steps forward, praising him repeatedly:
"What a beautiful girl! So beautiful!"
Xie Li rarely dresses up, but the effect is excellent.
Even Lin Yan, a woman, couldn't help but stare at her.
But after watching for a while, she couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly.
Xie Li's face bore absolutely no resemblance to Xie Rui and his sister.
Xie Rui and his two siblings did not inherit much of Wang's appearance.
On the contrary, he has some similarities with Xie Muqing.
It seems that the three of them completely inherited Xie Erye's appearance.
But she probably inherited all of her biological mother's looks.
Xie Li was always worried that her future in-laws would mind her background.
After all, she was divorced and had two children.
But clearly, her worries were unnecessary.
Ye Jing and her husband had always lived in a small mountain village and had never seen such a beautiful girl before.
Ye Jing was no ordinary peasant woman. In her heart, whatever her child liked was good, so why would she care whether her daughter-in-law had been married before?
Moreover, Xie Li's two children were very much to her liking.
Not only is she good-looking, but she also has a sweet tongue, calling everyone "Grandma" and "Grandpa" non-stop!
The marriage was finally settled without any major incidents.
The wedding date is set for the 10th of next month.
When seeing them off, Lin Yan took out twenty taels of silver and quietly handed it to Ye Jun.
"Uncle, please accept this money."
Ye Jun had never seen so much silver before, and quickly returned it.
“Yan girl, take it back. I can’t take this money! I’ve saved up quite a bit of wages in the past two years, more than enough to get married.”
Ye Jing also saw the gleaming silver and quickly pulled Ye Wen aside to block the curious gazes of outsiders, while whispering her refusal:
“Yan girl, take it back quickly. How can your grandfather and I not even have money to get our son a wife?”
"Uncle, Grandma and Grandpa, please accept her! Sister Xie Li is not only my future aunt, but also my husband's cousin, so it's only right that I take care of her. Sister Xie Li is remarrying, so there will inevitably be some disgusting gossips in the village. Let's make the wedding a grand and lively affair, and make them jealous!"
The silver in his palm felt incredibly heavy, and Ye Jun's throat tightened with emotion.
"Don't worry, I will make it a very grand affair! I will make sure she doesn't suffer the slightest grievance."
Everyone in the courtyard was in a good mood because the marriage was confirmed.
In stark contrast to the Lin family courtyard.
The Xie family courtyard was completely silent at this moment.
When Madam Xie saw Xie Muqing standing in the courtyard with his legs straight and unharmed, she instantly burst into tears and cried uncontrollably.
At the same time, she became even more certain of the decision she had made!
Seeing her like this, Xie Muqing was deeply moved, but he still did not forget the purpose of his visit.
"Mother, why did you agree to Yuan Xu's marriage proposal?"
Mrs. Xie never expected her son to speak to her in such a tone. Her tears stopped instantly, and she asked incredulously:
"Qing'er, have you come here to question your mother?"
“Mother, I’m not here to question you. I just don’t understand. Even though my cousin is divorced, she shouldn’t be someone like Yuan Xu who could ruin her. I remember you didn’t like him before, so why did you agree to his request so easily this time? Could it be that you secretly made some kind of deal with him?”
From the very beginning, Xie Muqing guessed that his mother must have made some kind of deal with Yuan Xu.
Otherwise, given her proud and arrogant nature, she would absolutely not allow the Xie family's daughter to become someone's concubine.
A look of panic flashed across Madam Xie's face.
"Qing, Qing'er, what nonsense are you talking about? How could your mother possibly make a deal with him!"
Xie Muqing saw every expression on her face.
He narrowed his eyes.
His voice carried a hint of coldness.
"Really? If Mother doesn't say, I don't mind investigating it myself! After all, thanks to your superb medical skills, my legs have recovered, so investigating this matter is a piece of cake for me!"
The resentment that Madam Xie had kept buried in her heart was completely ignited by him!
Her voice unconsciously rose in pitch.
They spoke without any restraint.
"My lady, my lady, I think you've lost your mind! You're so happy to be someone else's son-in-law! Have you forgotten that you are the legitimate son of the Xie family, not a lowly peasant! How could you debase yourself and marry into a peasant family!"
Xie Muqing hadn't expected this either.
Even after all this time, his mother still can't forget about him marrying into the family.
"So the deal Mother made with Yuan Xu was for me to divorce my wife and get rid of my status as a live-in son-in-law?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Madam Xie's face.
"Qing'er, I'm doing this for your own good. If you were an ordinary person, I would have absolutely no complaints about marrying into the family..."
Xie Muqing sneered upon hearing this.
Before he could say anything, a soft sound suddenly rang out from the courtyard gate.
He suddenly turned his head to look.
Suddenly I caught sight of a pale green hem of clothing...
