Chapter 009

The turmoil continued this morning, and it was finally time to have lunch.

Ye Qingqing had already left.

She wanted to stay for lunch, but she had a breakup with Zhao before, so it was not popular to stay here. So after discussing the plan with Old Lady Ye, she left and took away twenty eggs and two old hens from the house.

Before Ye Changan came back, Hu complained to Zhao about this.

"Those eggs were all for Jin Xi and Jin Li to nourish their bodies. She was fine, and she took them all away. So did my mother, and she was indulging in her everything."

Zhao didn't even raise his eyelids.

"I have asked Jinxi to buy ten more eggs when she comes back, and buy a big bone and two fish, which is enough for the two sisters to eat."

The expenses of the Zhonggong were handed over to Mrs. Hu at the beginning of the month. Now Ye Qingqing intercepted the eggs and the old hens. Old Mrs. Ye will definitely not pay for the vacancies. Mrs. Hu is not so selfless. She went on this trip specifically, and in addition to using Ye Jinxi and Ye Jinli as a raft to make Zhao willing to pay for the whole family, she also had the intention of asking Mrs. Zhao to come forward and argue with Mrs. Ye.

But Zhao was not fooled at all. His words were neither salty nor light, and he could not find any mistakes.

Hu asked for a boring moment, left embarrassedly, and spat as soon as he entered the door, "The old saying is true. The richer the people are, the more stingy they are. The family is so smart. No matter how delicate the two people are, they will still have to marry out in the future."

When he looked up, he saw Ye Jinfen coming in with a basket of vegetables. Another anger appeared in his chest and scolded: "Today it's the second room to cook, what kind of dishes are you going to pick?"

Ye Jinfang, who followed in, was so scared that her neck shrank, and subconsciously hid behind her sister.

Ye Jinfen put down the vegetable basket and whispered: "Second aunt is pregnant with her child and is unable to move. Second sister is chopping firewood, so she is too busy, so..."

"She is too busy to do anything, isn't Jinzhi? You need to be kind here?" Hu's breathed a sigh of relief and didn't vomit. "She knew that being a leisure lady, you two were stupid, you were maids serving others. When they eat meat, you can't even drink soup, and they are still here happily working for others. Why did I give birth to you two that are not good at brains?"

She pointed at the mulberry and scolded the locust, and her face was cold and almost ferocious. The eight-year-old Ye Jinfang was so scared that she wanted to cry and hid behind her sister and shivered.

Ye Jinfen is only two months younger than Ye Jinxi and is still a half-year-old child. Her mother got angry for no reason. She was also afraid, but she did not dare to retaliate. She stood there with her head down and let her mother vent her vent.

Before Mrs. Hu finished scolding, Ye Hongguang came in and cried and shouted, "Mom."

Hu had three sons and two daughters.

The eldest son Ye Hongshan is mediocre and incompetent, so he can only stay at home and farm with his father.

The second son, Ye Hongwei, entered the school at the age of eight and was fourteen this year. It was originally all the hope of Hu. But in recent years, he has gradually become a little alienated with her. So the six-year-old youngest son Ye Hongguang has become Hu's treasure. At this time, he was shocked to see him crying and immediately didn't care about scolding his two daughters.

"What's wrong, who bullied you?"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Jinfen put down the vegetable basket and pulled her sister to feed the pigs.

Ye Hongguang cried, "Mom, I want to eat maltose."

He was dirty all over, his hands were covered with mud and ashes, and he cried so miserably.

Mrs. Hu pulled him into the house and changed into clean clothes again, and understood the whole story.

Ye Hongguang has been nude since he was a child and has never done farm work. He goes out to play with children of the same age every day, and waits to go to school to study when he is old.

Today I went out as usual, but I saw Wu Xiaohu, the youngest son of the Wu family at the west end of the village, slowly eating malt sugar. He was so envious that he immediately wanted to go home and ask his mother to buy it for him. As a result, he ran too fast and fell down and knocked his knees to the stone. He was swollen at that time. He felt both wronged and in great pain, so he came back crying.

There was medicinal wine at home. When Mrs. Hu applied it to him, he screamed in pain. Ye Hongwei, who was reading books in the room, frowned. When he saw his younger brother's swollen knees, he was also startled.

"What's wrong?"

"Second brother."

Ye Hongguang thrust and called out.

Hu carefully put down his trouser legs and snorted, "What else can you do? You're greedy. The same child of the Ye family, who is a child who is delicious and spicy, and he has no snacks, but he has nothing to do. He has to be angry with others when he goes out. Fortunately, your father is still the eldest son, and he has no prestige of his elder brother, so he lets him split up. There is no way, who makes him incompetent? He can't make money, and can protect his wife and children and enjoy wealth. Anyone who has a minor illness or a little pain, can buy big fish and meat without any ambiguity, which is so generous. Unlike us, we are born to be a waste of people and work hard. We can't even drink soup when eating meat. The toys and snacks in the room are full of toys and snacks, Hongguang has no candy, and he has to endure it even if he is greedy."

As soon as she talked about candy, Ye Hongguang started crying again. Wow, the whole Ye family heard it.

Ye Hongwei was helpless, "Mom, Aunt Third treats us well. Even my payment was paid by her. Moreover, the land she bought with her and her third uncle has returned to our room. Don't say these words again in the future. I will be disgusted with Aunt Third for nothing."

Hu said angrily: "You third uncle has not plowed a penny of the land at home, and the harvest is also what we deserve. You are her nephew, and she earns so much money all year round, so what's wrong with paying you a little bit of tuition? If she hadn't been reluctant to give up money and asked your elder brother to give up school and go home to plow the fields, maybe your elder brother would have been admitted to the forefront. We need to live in this family by looking at people's eyes? A group of ungrateful wolves, heartless things..."

The more she scolded, the more she became, the more she could not bear to listen. Ye Hongwei couldn't help but raise his voice.

"mother."

Hu stared at him, "What, is I wrong? She just offered you a few years of study, and she bought you with such a little favor? Do you still want to recognize her as your mother? OK, go, go now!"

It's simply unreasonable!

Ye Hongwei was almost about to turn his sleeves away, but he held back. He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his chest, and said in a deep voice: "Aunt San is very thoughtful, you can't fight."

Before his mother got angry, he said again: "I don't know what Mrs. Xu said yesterday, but today I saw with my own eyes how my third aunt forced them to speak out and reluctantly wrote the divorce letter. The Xu family is finished. And the third brother Hongyuan will take the county exam next year. The gentleman said that he has no problem taking the exam for the child, and he can try to take the college exam for the scholar in August. When the third brother makes his way, the Xu family will have no place to turn over."

Hu was stunned.

Ye Hongwei continued to work hard, "Aunt San grew up in a wealthy family, and what he saw and heard was many times better than us. In terms of scheming methods, you are far from her opponent. If you offend her fiercely, she would not even care about my repair fees in anger, let alone sending Hongguang to school in the future. It would be a lot of money to take the scientific exam in the future. Can you and your father afford it?"

Of course I can't afford it.

Although Hu was in charge of Zhonggong, he couldn't save much money. He could save two taels of silver a year and the harvest was quite good. However, his family had other expenses. After deducting all the miscellaneous deductions, how could he afford two scholars?

She was angry when she thought that Zhao had so much money but was hiding it and refused to take out a little more.

When Ye Changan came back and talked about the ending of the Xu family, which was even worse than Ye Hongwei said. Hu immediately changed his face, and his eyes were filled with fear.
