Ye Yaodong looked at the people inside. Aguang was asking about his father fiercely, and Huimei was driving her three children.
He said: "It's better to take the three children out? Take them home first, and then let them go home for dinner later."
"That's okay, I'll bring him out."
Lin Xiuqing looked at the door that was about to close and quickly ran up.
After a while, Ye Huimei and Lin Xiuqing hugged each other, and Pei Yu trotted out on her own, running towards Ye's mother, shouting in a sweet voice: "Grandma..."
Mother Ye smiled and hugged her, "Oh, slow down, I'll fall down later..."
Father Ye reached out to hug the one in Huimei's arms. The little guy turned his head uncooperatively and ignored Father Ye.
Father Ye could only forcefully carry the child over, but the child was so frightened that he cried loudly.
The one in Lin Xiuqing's arms was eating her fist and looking at it curiously.
"The three of them will let you watch for a while. I will go home with A Guang for dinner later."
"Okay, let's go back first."
The family walked slowly towards the village, chatting while walking.
Ye Yaodong kept praising his mother and giving her a thumbs up, "Mom, you are so awesome. This family depends on you."
"Don't come here..."
"I think there are few people in the village who can make noise like you."
"Are you praising me or hurting me?"
"I praise you. What you said just now, Qingming took a whole family to visit the grave of the man in front of her and kowtow. This sentence is absolutely killer! It's so awesome! It has to be you. What man can stand it?
Everyone would go berserk after hearing this."
Mother Ye hugged Pei Yu and rolled her eyes at him, but raised the corners of her mouth.
"You are all too young. When you quarrel, it's not about who is louder than who. It's more about getting angry to death. That old goblin used to seem quite peaceful, but after giving birth to a son, he became restless and became very upset."
"I used to think she had no man and still had to raise several children, which was pitiful. It was really not worth pitying."
Lin Xiuqing also said: "When I first moved into the Pei family last year, I was so cautious and tried to please the Huimei family. Now that I have a son, I dare to directly plot against them. It's so shameless."
Father Ye said: "It's better now. Lao Pei has probably woken up after being scolded and won't be confused anymore."
Ye Yaodong lamented: "The pillow wind that comes from old age is really terrible."
Lin Xiuqing answered, "As we get older, we tend to get confused easily, and we get carried away by happiness. Maybe we haven't seen the child since he was born. We just came back, we are very close, we have made a lot of money, we are very proud, and my wife says nothing.
I listened."
Ye Yaodong said: "Invite them to come to our house for dinner, just to ask them how they will cause trouble after we leave."
"Lao Pei seems to be a very shrewd person, but why is he becoming more and more confused as time goes by..." Father Ye said with emotion.
"Being smart in making money does not mean being smart in life, nor does it mean being smart in women's affairs. Isn't this a typical example of making money and feeling swollen? Marrying a young daughter-in-law and giving birth to a son is a happy spring breeze.
When you are sleeping, if the person next to you talks to me a few words, doesn’t that mean you’ve listened to everything?”
Ye Yaodong thinks it's quite normal. When the poor suddenly become rich, their mentality is always different. It's normal to get carried away.
His mother's scolding today was probably enough to wake people up.
Otherwise, would this old woman really be allowed to take her whole family to kowtow to the man in front? Where would I put my face?
Mother Ye said: "In the final analysis, it's just the consequences of not having a mother. Children without a mother don't look at boys or girls. In fact, they have low self-esteem since they were young and will be a little slower."
"That is."
"A motherless child is like a grass."
Everyone agrees with this.
"Go home first, don't talk outside, hurry home and cook..."
There were still so many people in front of the house, playing cards and chatting. The matter hadn't spread so quickly. It was estimated that by the time they finished lunch, the whole village would know about it.
After returning home, they put the children down and let them play with a group of children at home.
Ye Yaodong was still sitting at the door with his feet up, waiting for food, and watching the children playing.
Ye Yaopeng came over and asked, "Where are you coming back from? We weren't there before, and now we're bringing Huimei's three children back."
"Look at my mother showing off her power."
Anyway, it will spread. So many people saw it in front of him, so he told his elder brother about it, which shocked his elder brother.
"This...how does this sound like a big show? His family is so chaotic?"
"Isn't it? If you do it again, you can't let Huimei marry her. It will be a mess."
"Come over later and ask us. Tell us what's going to happen next. We have to separate the family as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will be no peace of mind later."
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so we definitely can't separate. No matter what, we have to wait until February next year before we can separate."
"You can agree in advance to find a place to build a house first, and when the time comes to separate, you can move in directly."
"I'll ask later and see if he ever said he wanted to separate the family."
"As long as you have thought about it, if we ask again if you have thought about it, it won't be considered as us gossiping about his separation."
…
The two brothers chatted together until the family called for dinner, and Ye Yaopeng went home.
The card tables at the door were gradually cleared away, and the cards were put away, tied with rubber bands and placed on the window, and the game started again after dinner.
Women from various families were shouting for their lives all around, calling their children to go home for dinner.
His family cooked dinner late and no one called for dinner, but the children had no playmates, so they came back on their own initiative.
A few big ones ran in front with the ball, while the small ones staggered behind and chased, falling every time they took a step.
When Ye Yaodong saw it and picked it up one by one with one hand, the twins were already so dirty that they couldn't be seen, and their faces were all gray and dirty.
"Those who don't know better think that I abused you and made you so dirty."
"Ball... ball..."
"Qiuqiu..."
The two children just stared at the football in Ye Chenghu's hands, opened their hands, and shouted.
When Ye Yaodong returned to the yard, he put the person down and said to Ye Chenghu: "I didn't look at you for a while, and you ran to play. Have you finished your homework?"
"I'll take a break and do it after dinner..."
"Anyway, it's up to you. It'll only take five or six days. Otherwise, you'll have to stay at home and take care of the ball."
Ye Chenghu pursed his lips and handed the ball over.
Ye Yaodong took it and handed it to the twins. The two brothers were so happy that they kept drooling and started fighting over each other, trying to hold it in their arms.
"beat..."
The little baby boy knew that he was going to hit someone even if he said nothing. The two of them pushed each other, and one of them fell to the ground, crying loudly.
The other one won and went to chase the ball. He ran all over the yard but couldn't pick up the ball, but he still ran vigorously.
Ye Yaodong looked at it and couldn't laugh or cry, "Yangyang, bring your volleyball over here."
Ye Chengyang reluctantly handed the volleyball to the crying twin, "Dad, why don't they go home for dinner?"
"They eat here for lunch."
"All right."
The two brothers gave up both balls to the twins, so they had no choice but to go home to get the badminton. Anyway, they have a lot to play with now, but they can't play badminton. They don't play that much and they keep picking up the ball over and over again.
However, the two of them were also very naughty and called Ye Xiaoxi and Pei Yu over to pick up the ball.
The two little girls were very happy, running back and forth, helping their two brothers pick up balls, and enjoying themselves.
It's better to be a child, not yet sensible, without worries, even if the house is noisy, you can still have fun.
Aguang and Huimei arrived very late. The two brothers next door, Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua, had finished their meal and were sitting at the door chatting, so they came over.
In Ye Yaodong's house, the children had all finished feeding and went off to play, while the adults had also eaten half of their meals.
When they entered the house, Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also came in together.
Within one meal, both families knew about it, and they followed him to pay attention and understand what was going on.
"Come here and sit down, I'll load the food for you." Mother Ye quickly stood up and went to pack the food.
Ye Yaodong asked: "How to say?"
"Without saying much, my father said that he was out of his mind and didn't think that carefully. He also thought about marrying into his own family. It seemed more reassuring that he wouldn't have to leave home. After all, Yingqiu was married far away. Even though we were together now,
I'm staying at the station, but I don't know when I'll be transferred."
"It's fine to marry someone from your own village. Just like Huimei, it's just two steps home. Why would you marry the son you brought here and make people gossip?"
Ye Mu said as she put down two large bowls of rice and sat back down.
Ye Huimei said: "He was blown away by the wind on the pillow and didn't think too much. He just hugged his youngest son and agreed to anything. He had just agreed, and then let others take a look, and then he would have to see what Dongqing meant.
"
"Don't you just take advantage of the opportunity to propose a family separation? The older you get, the more confused you become. Don't expect it to happen just once. You may lose your mind again. After all, if you read it in your ears every day, you will always listen to a few words."
A Guang responded: "I didn't say we would separate the family, but my father said something similar, saying that when Dongqing gets married, she will give her the same dowry as Yingqiu."
"When Jianshe gets married, he will help with the arrangements, but from today on, he and his younger siblings will live alone. There is no need to come over to our house if there is nothing to do."
"When they get married in the future, of course they will live in their own family. After all, they are not registered in our family, they are still in the Lin family."
"Then I won't let him board the Harvest. My father said that I would let him sail the boat I bought from his father before, collect a rent, and then redeem it for him when he saves enough money."
"This way he can live and make money on his own. In the past two years of working on the Harvest, my father has paid him monthly wages. Like others, he has no expenses for food and drink, but he has also saved a fortune."
Father Ye agreed and said: "That's good. Let's just separate. We don't have to eat and drink at your house and do things with you. I'm sure I'll be upset because of the commotion today."
"Well, it's mainly to avoid suspicion. Otherwise, if you eat, drink, and come in and out of our house every day, others might really gossip about Holly."
"Probably the whole village knows about this incident. It's better to avoid suspicion. The old woman is always spitting shit. There are many aunts in the workshop, and Dongqing is not the only woman. She also said that if men gather, she will give people
What does it sound like? Words have to be spread even without a shadow." Ye Mu said angrily.
"Yes, Aunt Ma was also educated by my father just now."
"It's right to educate her, but the important thing is that she can't let her handle the family's money. This is what you two father and son have earned so hard. If it gets into her hands, you will have nothing to do with it in the future."
Ye Mu goes straight to the point.
"No, my father keeps the money himself. She has only been in our house for two years. How could my father let her take care of the money?"
Ye Huimei retorted, "Then I must have received enough money. In the first two days after I came back, Aunt Ma was very happy. She went out to the market every day and bought piles of things for her son and daughter."
"Forget it before. Didn't my father just say that he will give her 10 yuan a month for household expenses? Anyway, she can eat and drink at home, and there is nothing to spend money on. If you want to do something else, tell her alone, and my father will give her the money.
"
"That's good. It's best for you to separate directly and not get involved in the messy things at home."
"My father just mentioned that no one should worry about his money. When he gets old, he will share it equally between the two of us. Then Harvest said that it would be given to me directly after the new year. Originally, it was said that it would be given to me.
Yes, now all the profits will be given directly to me..."
Ye Huimei interrupted, "Aunt Ma is still yelling that it can't be done, saying that her youngest son is still young and everything is given to the boss. How can she..."
Mother Ye put her chopsticks down on the table angrily, "Why don't you slap me in the face? How can it be her turn to speak about your family's affairs? The family fortune is now saved by the two fathers and sons. It's none of her business?"
Ye Huimei chuckled, "Mom, you're right, my father-in-law just slapped her in the face to shut her up. They still wanted to argue with my father-in-law, but my father-in-law ignored it and continued to tell A Guang about his plans.
."
Aguang said: "My father didn't directly say that we would separate the family, but he had already made plans. He would keep the remaining ships to collect rent and support his children."
Father Ye nodded, "It's okay to plan this way. We won't separate the families, but it's almost done. The harvest number will be yours after the new year."
"right."
"That being said, it would be a comfortable life if the two separate themselves and live alone. Otherwise, it's one thing to talk about it now. What if he becomes old and confused again at some point? It's another thing again. There is no formal separation.
None of them count."
Father Ye glared at her, "How can you keep asking people to separate the family all day long? They will definitely do it when it's time to do it. It's almost the Chinese New Year now. Who would say that they would separate the family at this time? They will only take advantage of the Chinese New Year to enter the family.
People, how can we separate people?"
Ye Mu stared back unconvinced.
Aguang saw that the old couple was about to quarrel again, and quickly settled the matter, "I don't mention it now, we will divide it after the New Year. I have agreed to give the boat to me, and my father will not change."
Ye Yaodong also said: "It's good. This is fine now. Let the three brothers and sisters of the Lin family go back to their home. We also promised to rent their boat to them and redeem it when the time comes."
"However, I guess I won't rent it. If Aunt Ma blows the pillow, I will definitely redeem it directly. After all, I only bought it for one or two thousand yuan at that time, and it is impossible for your father to make more money on it.
Aunt Ma would not agree to their deal, it would definitely be a cheap sale, half redeemed and half given away."
Ye Mu also agreed, "It's definitely like this. I can't run away. If the wind blows a little harder on my pillow, I might just give it away without spending any more money."
Ye Yaodong ignored what his mother said and said: "You have obtained the promise anyway, and the Harvest number will be distributed directly to you. Anyway, you have taken half of the family's income in the past few years every year. If you mention the division of the family, you will only get a share at most."
I won’t give you any more money for the boat.”
Lin Xiuqing said: "The harvest number has been agreed upon, so we just need to officially separate the family."
"Yes, you can talk to your father in private. There are many people today and there are other people around, so there must be some things that are hard to say."
"The two of them can open up and talk about what's on their mind, which can enhance the relationship between father and son. They can also talk about their plans for a loan."
"It also depends on the situation. By the way, I have more children and my house can no longer accommodate them. I will build a new foundation and move out as a family of five in a few months. This will avoid conflicts with Aunt Ma."
"Today's situation can be regarded as a breakup. If we live together again, life will only be chaotic and non-stop."
"It smells good when it's far away, but it smells bad when it's close. Anyway, we're in the same village, so we're not far apart. In the village, there are usually married people, many brothers, and those with certain conditions will separate their families."
Ye Huimei said: "Third brother, you have spoken out my heart. Ever since Aunt Ma gave birth to a son, she has been instructing me to do this and that every day, and she has asked me to do everything."
"My three children are busy all day long, and they have to listen to her, help her, and cook for her. It almost makes me angry to death. In the past, it was all her active work."
"He also said that he had just given birth to a child and was not in good health. He asked me to work harder and help more. He said that my mother-in-law's family is here and I can send the child back to my mother to take care of it. I will also be free to take care of the work in the fields.
."
"I'm so annoyed. I haven't bothered to see her these past few months. I just took the kids home to live with my mother. Since you're not here anyway, my mother is at home alone. It happens that we keep her company and she does the work by herself."
"I won't move back until you come back."
No wonder his mother scolded her so loudly in the morning and left no room for error. It turned out that she took advantage of the opportunity.
When he first came back, Ah Qing only said that Huimei had been living in her parents' house. He also thought that he was closer to his own mother and wanted his mother to help take care of the children. This was normal.
It was also said that Huimei wanted to separate the family. It turned out that this was the reason why his mother was so active in helping introduce Dongqing.
Aguang said: "Let me find a chance to talk to my father."
The two brothers Ye Yaopeng have been here for so long, and they only expressed their opinions now.
"This stepmother is quite bad. It's okay to live alone. She's in the village anyway. It's convenient if you want to be filial to your father."
"I came back in great glory, holding my son around every day. But after what happened, I probably lost face. I won't dare to wander around anymore for a while."
"You have to wake him up and wake up, otherwise the wealth you have saved so hard will be cheap to outsiders."
After Ye Mu finished speaking, she looked at A Guang again, "You have not had a mother since you were a child. You have grown up casually and can be easily fooled. If that old woman does something wrong in the future, even if you come back and say it, don't let others take advantage of you."
."
"Um."
Father Ye said: "This matter has just passed. We still have to go on with our lives. The New Year is coming soon, so there is no need to argue anymore. Just make it clear today."
"My dad also said the same. He said that the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Please make it clear so that you can have a safe New Year. You are not allowed to mention this matter again and have a good New Year."
Everyone agreed and went on to celebrate the New Year with peace of mind.
Lin Xiuqing curiously asked Ye Huimei: "Have you ever asked Dongqing if there is anyone she likes? You have been working in the workshop for so long, and you have come into contact with a lot of boys. Do you like anyone?"
"I asked, I asked a long time ago, but she refused to say anything and just shook her head. She also shook her head when others introduced her."
"The aunties in the workshop were also very enthusiastic in introducing them to her, and she smiled and shook her head every day, not knowing what she was looking for." Lin Xiuqing also shook her head.
Mother Ye said: "I think the pretty boy Dongzi brought back a few days ago is good. He is much better than the young men working in the workshop, but you said that his family is..."
Ye Yaodong interrupted his mother, "Don't worry about it, mother. The disparity is too big. It's impossible. It's better to say something reliable."
"How reliable are you? Everyone in the workshop can work and earn wages, which is very good. Compared with workers in the city, it is not bad. I heard that half of the people will get married by the end of the year. Every day these days
Someone sent wedding candy to my house."
"Then let them worry about it."
A Guang said quickly: "Then I still need to ask my mother to help me inquire more. She is familiar with the people nearby, so I can introduce her more."
"This won't work, that won't work, and I can't help it. You can see for yourselves."
Ye Huimei said: "Maybe the marriage has not come yet, let's talk about it later."
"Your family is really worrying..."
Mother Ye murmured in a low voice. She had finished her meal, so she put away the bowls and chopsticks and let them eat slowly.
After the meal, the couple did not go back immediately with their children, but sat in front of their house chatting in the sun.
After the meal, all the nearby neighbors knew what happened to Lao Pei's family in the morning. The owner happened to be there, so they all gathered around them to chat.
Everyone was there to condemn Ma Lifang, calling her shameless and indifferent.
Even if he enjoys his own happiness, he still wants his eldest son to take advantage of the situation and annex the old Pei family.
If Aguang hadn't already been married and his wife's family was so powerful, there would probably be no place for him in this family.
"It's still amazing how old a clam can hold a pearl. Of course it will be different after giving birth to a son..."
"It's also shameless. He is so smart and his calculations are so loud..."
"I really didn't know that he was so good at calculating before. Ah Guang, you have to be more careful. The wealth that you have worked so hard to save can't be calculated by others..."
"I don't have to worry about being judged for marrying my daughter to my stepson. What a good reputation I had originally, but now I have to tell others about it..."
…
There has been no discussion in the village for a long time. Dongzi's loan of 200,000 yuan and the ship worth more than 100,000 yuan have become outdated and are only mentioned occasionally.
The talk in the past few days has been about who bought something big, and it didn't make any waves, and it wasn't that explosive.
These big items have become increasingly popular in the village, and they are no longer as rare as they used to be.
The drama spread throughout the village this morning. It just added a fire to the recently dull days and kept the villagers talking about it for three to five days, a week.
Lao Pei and Ma Lifang didn't dare to go out for the next few days. If the matter came to pass, they would at most be said a few words, and they could still respond with a smile, saying that the children saw each other.
Now they have no shame in doing this.
Ye Yaodong is at home these days, and he often sees Ye Huimei happily holding her child to play, and then listening to a few gossips about their family.
I heard that Aunt Ma has been having a hard time these past few days. She is not as happy as she was some time ago, and she is walking with a wind in her eyes.
In the first two days after the quarrel, I was beaten and beaten every day to vent my dissatisfaction. I taught Father Pei a few lessons before he started to become honest.
She started to smile towards them again, but the two of them stopped following her behavior and had long since seen their true colors clearly.
Aguang also took the opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with his father, and obtained his father's consent to find a piece of land to build a house first. Sooner or later, the family would be divided.
He directly chose to be near them, as they were close and had company.
When Ye Huimei came back to tell the story, she was overjoyed and overjoyed.
He said that he had already reported it to the village committee and was waiting to measure a piece of land and start construction at a certain date after the new year.
Ye Yaodong thought for a while and was about to mention it to her. Anyway, their separation was a certainty, and they had agreed to give the Harvest number to them.
"Sit over here and tell you something."
Ye Huimei sat next to him with a smile, "What are you doing? What did you say? The Chinese New Year is coming soon, do you want to give me lucky money?"
Ye Yaodong smiled and flicked her forehead, "The child is so old, you still want lucky money?"
"Isn't it the Chinese New Year soon? I thought you made too much. In addition to three nieces and nephews, I also want to buy one for your biological sister."
"Alright?"
Ye Huimei happily hugged his arm, "Really? I have one too? Then you can't just give me one or two yuan, at least you have to give me 10 or 20 yuan, which is enough to buy a whole set of clothes."
"
"The layout is too small, right? 10 yuan and 20 yuan, how to match it? How can the red envelope given to you be only 10 yuan and 20 yuan?"
Her eyes brightened even more, "Isn't it? Okay, okay, he is indeed my brother, and he is generous when he makes a move. How much do you want to give me? Give me 50? That's enough for me to complete my outfit."
"Is this just a little bit of profit? Just think it's only 50 yuan?"
"Haha, if you want to give me 100, it's not impossible."
"Nothing to show for it."
"Damn, third brother, how much do you plan to give? I just said it casually." Ye Huimei was really surprised now.
"I plan to wait until you officially separate, and then I will give you the 30% shares of Harvest. I will give it to you, not to A Guang."
Ye Huimei's eyes widened in shock and she stood up, "You, are you serious? Stop joking, this is a bit of a joke. I just said it casually..."
"I'm not kidding you, I'm serious."
"No, third brother, I'm really joking. Just give me a few dollars and wrap it in red paper to make me happy."
"I'm serious. If you still don't believe me, sit down."
Ye Huimei sat down again and asked cautiously: "Are you serious?"
"Um."
"Does Third Sister-in-law know? Why do you suddenly want to give me the shares of the ship?"
"Didn't I say that? I won't give it to you until your family is officially separated. Just treat it as congratulations on the completion of your new home and give you a starting point. I have told your third sister-in-law and she has no objection."
"Ah?! Third sister-in-law doesn't have any objections either? Are you really just talking about it?"
"nonsense."
Chapter completed!
