The afterglow of the setting sun falls on the yard.
With wine, food and family, this is what happiness is all about.
It would probably be better if there weren't some annoying flies.
"Bang bang bang~~~"
The sudden and violent knocking on the door broke the warm atmosphere of the entire yard.
"Mom is here, brother and sister-in-law, why don't you open the door quickly?"
Yu Dahong's voice came from outside the door.
Ye Dagang and Liu Cuilan looked at each other, and the couple moved in unison, scooping the fish on the table into Ye Liuqing's bowl.
Brothers Ye Jianhua and Ye Jianjun didn't need Ye Dagang and his wife to invite them, and they consciously put the dishes on the table into their bowls.
Ye Liuqing was shocked by this scene.
However, when she thought about the people standing outside the door, Ye Liuqing was able to figure it out.
She was very glad that Ye Dagang and Liu Cuilan were not foolishly filial.
"Little sister, don't be in a daze! Eat quickly, otherwise the milk will come in soon and you won't be able to eat anything else."
Ye Jianjun shoveled rice and vegetables into his mouth while talking, not afraid of fish bones getting stuck.
"good!"
Ye Liuqing quickened his movements.
Just kidding, this little bit of food is just enough to fill her up a little bit, no one can snatch it away.
Everything was swept away in a flash, leaving only empty bowls and plates on the table.
Ye Jianjun even picked up the plate and licked it in an exaggerated manner, not leaving even the last bit of soup.
When Ye Jianhua opened the door, Yu Dahong and Old Lady Ye rushed in, only to see empty plates and large bowls.
"Hey, did brother and sister-in-law stew fish tonight?" Yu Dahong smelled it outside the door and thought she could get some by coming in, but she never expected that there was nothing.
Yu Dahong started to get snarky, "But, after cooking all this delicious food, why don't you take some time to honor your parents?"
"Second brother, you must have smelled it wrong. You know the situation in our family. How could we have that much spare money to buy fish?" Liu Cuilan retorted neither softly nor harshly.
"That's right, Second Aunt, we haven't eaten meat for almost a month, and we have used the money we saved to honor our grandparents. Have you cooked meat tonight? How about I come to your house for a meal?" Ye Jianjun pretended to look pitiful.
"Yes! His second aunt, look at our Jianjun, he is so thin that he is just skin and bones." Liu Cuilan rarely looked into Ye Jianjun's eyes, and there was a hint of heartache in her eyes.
Ye Jianjun: "Mom, it's okay for me to eat less, as long as grandpa and grandma can eat more."
Liu Cuilan: "Good boy, your grandparents are so lucky to have such a filial grandson like you."
The mother and son chatted with each other with unprecedented tacit understanding, leaving Yu Dahong and Old Lady Ye no room to interrupt.
Ye Jianhua quietly put the dishes into the kitchen.
Ye Dagang also picked up a broom and swept the floor silently.
Ye Liuqing had no doubt that if this second aunt didn't know what was good for her, it was very likely that she would be hit by the broom in her father's hand.
This family of theirs is so adorable.
…
No matter how powerful Yu Dahong's mouth is, he can't beat the powerful combination of Liu Cuilan and Ye Jianjun!
Seeing that he couldn't get any advantage verbally, Yu Dahong pulled Old Lady Ye angrily.
Old Mrs. Ye hasn't said a word since she entered the yard. She is not a brainless idiot like Yu Dahong.
How could she not see that the boss's family was fooling her?
However, for the sake of the monthly filial piety money, Old Mrs. Ye would not turn against the eldest brother's family for such a small amount of food.
Cooperating with Yu Dahong to make such a fuss was just to give the boss's family a warning.
"Old man, what are these bamboo sieves all over the yard?"
Ye Jianjun's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, how could he forget about these preserved peaches?
What to do?
Ye Jianjun quickly looked at his younger sister.
Ye Liuqing looked calm and composed, not worried at all.
"Mom, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed. What are these things?"
Yu Dahong was so busy smelling the fishy smell that she didn't even notice there were several bamboo sieves placed in the yard.
Just as she was about to move forward to take a closer look, Ye Jianjun blocked her way.
"Third brother, it's okay, let Second Aunt take a look."
Ye Liu's fair and tender little face had a sweet smile that was harmless like an animal.
Yu Dahong glared at Ye Jianjun proudly and stretched out his hand, wanting to touch him.
"But, Second Aunt, you have to be careful. These things are not ours. If you dirty or damage them, you will have to pay for them."
Ye Liuqing's voice was neither loud nor soft, just enough for Old Lady Ye and Yu Dahong to hear.
Yu Dahong paused, "You little girl, stop fooling me."
"Third brother, please move aside and let Second Aunt touch it. It's okay. It's just one, two, three or four dollars. Second Aunt has plenty of money, so she's not afraid!"
Ye Liuqing looked like he couldn't wait for you to touch him.
"Anyway, it's none of our business in the end."
"Okay!" Ye Jianjun quickly stepped aside, "Second Aunt, please!"
Ye Liuqing and Ye Jianjun's behavior made Yu Dahong feel a little afraid, and he finally withdrew his hand.
"Hmph, who knows if you are fooling people!" Yu Dahong still refused to accept the fact.
"It's okay, Second Aunt, just try it and you'll know if we are kidding you!" Ye Jianjun made a gesture of invitation towards Yu Dahong.
"Don't think I don't know what evil intentions you have?" Yu Dahong said, as if she had seen through them. "You want me to be fooled? Impossible."
Yes, Second Aunt, we just want to trick you!
Aren't you fooled now?
Ye Liuqing lowered his eyelids to hide the smile in his eyes.
Old Mrs. Ye really couldn't bear to look at this idiot from the second son's family, so she simply turned around and went home.
Anyway, the goal has been achieved.
"Mom, why did you run away?"
"Wait for me!"
When Yu Dahong saw Old Lady Ye running away, she hurried to catch up.
It was just a farce, and it ended just like that.
It was so fast that Ye Liuqing was a little confused.
The original owner's grandmother and second aunt didn't seem to be very strong in fighting.
She thought the battle would last for a while?
"Mom, are my grandma and my second sister-in-law retreating now?" Ye Jianjun put his hands on his hips, looking like he hadn't fought enough.
"Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?" Liu Cuilan looked at Ye Jianjun with disgust, without any trace of the loving motherly devotion she had just shown.
"Why am I stupid again?" Ye Jianjun's face fell and he was not convinced.
"Our grandma is very smart! She just deliberately followed Second Aunt's lead and came to our house to cause some trouble."
Ye Liuqing finally understood.
"If our grandmother were in the past, she would definitely be a big shot, someone who knows how to balance checks and balances."
Liu Cuilan looked at her daughter with increasingly gentle eyes.
"That's right, girl. You take after me. You're smart enough."
Ye Jianjun: "Then who do I follow?"
Liu Cuilan: "Just follow your dad!"
Ye Dagang: "I'm not stupid."
Liu Cuilan: "Oh, that means it's the grandparents' relationship!"
Ye Jianjun: “…”
