Chapter 44
Ye Changshun took some time to discuss the matter of splitting up with Ye Changan. It is more appropriate for him to propose this matter. First, he is the elder brother and has a higher voice. Second, it is more reasonable for Hu to target the second wife that day, and it is more reasonable for the victim to propose splitting up the family from the position of the victim.
Three days later, Ye Changan had a vacation, and the two brothers decided to put the matter openly that day.
But unexpectedly, something happened before that.
Someone from the Li family has come.
Mrs. Li was vicious and thoughtful, and she was very interested in her step-son. The matter was exposed and the yamen passed messages one by one, and the Li family could not escape.
Manager Li has also known his second wife for the past two years, but he did not expect that she was so vicious. He was shocked and angry and wrote a divorce letter on the spot. From then on, he had no connection with the Li family.
Although the Ye family was the victim of this matter, the conspirator was also the Ye family. When they met, the shopkeeper Li did not feel much gratitude to the Ye family. After leaving the government office, he thanked him symbolically.
The young master Fang, who came from the capital and didn't know where the origin was, probably couldn't see it. He pointed to Ye Jinxi and said, "If this little girl hadn't stopped people in the street today, your Li family would have been charged with robbing a girl in the Yellow River and would not have been able to clear it. And your eldest son, if the girl hadn't been smart and had seen through your second wife's thoughts, he would have forced the guard to tell the truth at that time. If he had gone to court, he might have to make trouble. It would be hard for your son to be sure to leave a stigma. Such a great kindness should indeed be remembered."
Manager Li's face turned red. He saw that the other party was either rich or noble, and did not dare to offend him. He should have been embarrassed and bowed to Ye Changan's family of three again to thank him, and said that he would visit him another day.
Originally, Ye Jinxi thought he was just talking about the scene, but unexpectedly, after many days, he actually came to the door with his son.
At that time, Ye Jinxi was teaching her sister to read.
Ye Jinli is greedy and fun on weekdays, but Zhao spoils her, but she does not delay her teaching of her daughter. If a woman does not enter school, the rich people will ask scholars to teach. In the countryside, there is no such condition. Zhao can only teach by herself and start from the simplest.
It’s not enough to just read, you have to be able to write.
But pen, ink, paper and inkstone are expensive, and Ye Jinli is also very fun, so she can easily scratch randomly while writing with a pen.
Although their family has no worries about food and clothing, they are far from being as good as the high-ranking families, and they don’t care about the pen and ink. So Ye Jinxi made a wooden board for her, polished it smoothly, and used black charcoal as a pen, which can be reused. Later, I found out that the little girl was so naughty that she always smeared the charcoal ash everywhere and had to change clothes every day. Later, Ye Jinxi thought of a way to use a wooden board to make a board surface. Then fold a piece of branch and sharpen it as a pen. This way, it would be easy to hold.
He was afraid that she would hurt herself, so Ye Jinxi stared at her and wrote when she had time.
This is when the Li family father and son came.
It is not suitable for female relatives to visit when a man from a foreign country. He should have been entertained by Ye Changgui, the head of the family, but the Li family is mainly grateful to the third room. The victim is Ye Jinhong, the second room, so the three brothers are sitting in the main hall.
Manager Li did not come empty-handed, he even brought gifts.
"…I was busy managing the business and ignored the inner house. Unexpectedly, the woman was so cruel and almost made a big mistake. It was my fault for not being strict in managing the family..."
Businessmen always like to say some scenes and are very proud of their faces. They like to learn the style of scholars, and they are so polite when they speak angry words.
Ye Changgui and Ye Changshun were both unacceptable to listening, and the other had no good feelings for the Li family and did not say anything. Ye Changan had to take on the heavy responsibility of dealing with him.
"This is my little intention, don't dislike it."
Originally, he wanted to give gold and silver directly, but his son said that the Ye family also had scholars. All scholars were a bit noble and didn't like to put yellow and white things on the surface, which was too vulgar. So he changed them to cloth, jewelry, and his family's rouge "Broken Swallow Branch".
Most of them are for three bedrooms.
Only the Jinyan Branch was used for the women of the Ye family, with six boxes. They were given to the Hu Yang Family Zhao Family, and Ye Jinzhi, Ye Jinhong Ye Jinxi. The others were not suitable for use at a young age. Originally, Ye Jinxi could not use it, but she had made contributions to this matter, so she must give one box.
Ye Changan couldn't help but accept it.
After the matter was completed, the manager Li and his son should leave. In the small countryside, they probably wouldn't look down on others. Moreover, the Ye family is now in a state of being about to split up, so it's really hard to keep others.
But Ye Changan sent the father and son out of the yard, and the eldest son Li, who had not spoken much, suddenly said: "I can avoid this disaster, thanks to Ling Wu's help. Due to the prevention of ethics, it is difficult to thank him in person. I hope you can tell me on your behalf. The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water."
Manager Li glanced at his son.
Ye Changan was stunned for a moment and smiled and said, "Young Master Li Yan Chong."
After he went back to the house, he briefly told his wife and daughter about this matter, but Zhao heard some tricks, "Young Master Li asked Jin Xi intently?"
Ye Changan didn't think much, "Yes, after all, Jin Xi is indeed his benefactor. A scholar is very polite."
As soon as Ye Jinxi led his sister in, Zhao swallowed back the words he had not said.
"Mom, I'm going to cook."
"Um."
Zhao looked at his daughter's back and thought of the eldest son Li, thinking about it.
Ye Changan noticed her strangeness and asked, "Surong, what's wrong?"
"Oh, it's okay."
Zhao smiled, "I just thought about the separation of the family."
Speaking of this, Ye Changan also looked correct, "I rarely stay at home today, and my elder brother and second brother are free in the afternoon. The second brother said that if I settle things earlier, I will save me more nights and dreams."
Zhao nodded.
“Okay.”
They didn't care much about the gifts sent by the Li family, but they were very interested in the big and second-bedroom houses.
Ye Jinzhi looked at the best rouge and couldn't help it. She opened it and smeared it on her face. Unfortunately, she was really not good at this, and she applied too much, just like a monkey's butt.
Ye Jinhong rolled her eyes, too lazy to harm her.
Ye Jinzhi felt that she was very beautiful and looked at herself in the mirror, and was very proud. "This rouge is good in color and tastes good. Jinhong, I think you can't use it for the time being, so why not forget about your box for me."
Ye Jinhong was angry when she saw her vain and greedy appearance. Before she could speak, Ye Jinzhi said again: "It was our second house who was injured this time. The Li family sent us some boxes of rouge. I just saw that the Li family sent a lot of cloth. Look at the material, it should be silk. There were also a few boxes that were not opened, so it must be valuable. Dad, why didn't he take it back? All of them were greedy for the third uncle..."
Ye Jinhong couldn't bear it anymore.
"What greed? If it weren't for Uncle San's family, I would have been sold to the Li family as a child bride. If it weren't for Uncle San's and others, you wouldn't get this box of rouge, and you would still dislike it, what qualifications do you have to dislike it?"
The Li family is so rich, isn’t it good to marry and become a young grandmother?
Ye Jinzhi didn't argue with her today, but remembered Master Li who had just glanced at her.
Tough and elegant, and extraordinary.
Far from the same as those mud-legged farmers in the countryside.
She pursed her lips, her whole face seemed to be dyed with the brocade swallow branches, and her eyes were filled with soft waves of spring.
