Ye Yutong's family had just finished eating when Ye Daqing and Ye Dazhuang came over with a middle-aged man and woman in their forties.
The two are Ye Laotou's cousin Ye Laosan and his sister-in-law Ye Zhou. The two families usually have a good relationship, and Mr. Ye Zhou and Mr. Ye Zhang are even more like each other.
When his family was kicked out, Mr. Ye Zhou came up with many ideas.
Li Wenxiu sneered in her heart, but said kindly on her face: "Third uncle, third aunt, why are you two elders here? Sit down and have a rest."
Without even looking at Ye Dazhuang and Ye Daqing, she called to her two sons, "Mingxuan, Mingzhe, go to the river to get some water for your three grandparents to drink."
"Okay, mother." Ye Mingzhe picked up the footbath at home and went to the river to fetch water.
He hated these people, and he was looking down upon them by serving them water in a footbath.
When he left, he shouted: "Brother, I can go alone. You stay here with your mother and sister, and don't let others bully them."
Li Yunze was worried that he went to stand by the river alone. He got up and said, "Brother, please stay. I will accompany my second brother to fetch water."
After hearing what they said, Ye Laosan and Ye Zhou felt very uncomfortable and their faces dropped.
As if Li Wenxiu hadn't noticed, he placed two handfuls of straw on the ground and greeted with a smile: "Third uncle, third aunt, you guys sit down."
After doing this, she stopped talking and took advantage of the moonlight to sort out the urala grass she pulled in the previous two days.
Ye Mingxuan took out his woodcutter and sharpened it on a stone. After sharpening it for a few times, he picked it up to see if it was sharp?
Ye Daqing looked at the actions of their family with cold eyes, but felt a little disdainful in his heart.
Humph, do you think you don’t have to show filial piety to the elderly? It's really a joke. It won't do anything less. He winked at his second brother.
Ye Dazhuang felt a little angry. This third brother was so mean-spirited. He didn't say anything about such offending things, but allowed himself to take the lead.
But now that I have come, I am the elder brother, so I can only take the initiative to stand up.
He smiled and said to Li Wenxiu: "Sister-in-law, we came here to discuss with you how to honor your parents."
Li Wenxiu said calmly: "To show filial piety to my parents? Second brother, are you kidding me? We were purged and left the house. The few kilo rice noodles we have now were bought with borrowed money. What do you want me to use to show my filial piety?" ?”
Ye Dazhuang said helplessly: "Sister-in-law, now that dad is sick, we juniors should stop arguing with him.
It was not easy for the old man to raise us. Now that he is in poor health, don't hold on to small things. "
He glanced at Ye Laosan and Ye Zhou again, and said with a smile: "The third uncle and the third aunt are here today. Let's discuss in front of the elders how to take care of our parents in the future."
Mrs. Ye Zhou sat next to Li Wenxiu and said with a smile: "Wenxiu, please be more generous and don't argue with your parents. When you go back, your third uncle and I will have a good talk about them."
Li Wenxiu thought to herself, are you trying to persuade me to be generous now? Then why didn't you say something fair when we were kicked out?
If you are so nosy, then you can take over and raise me. Why are you trying to persuade me to do this?
She said rudely: "Third aunt, don't you know the situation in our family? I also want to honor my elders, but how should I honor them? Is it to dig out my heart or cut my flesh."
She pulled Ye Mingxuan and Ye Yutong to her side again, and said with red eyes:
"Look at my children. They have worked day and night since they were young. We have never had a full meal or a new piece of clothing. When we separated, we didn't ask for anything. Isn't this enough? Generous?"
Mrs. Ye Zhou was a little embarrassed by her rebuke, but she was entrusted by her old sister today and couldn't just leave.
She sighed and said: "Third aunt knows you are a good child, but isn't your father sick? Now he can't walk. He has not eaten well during this period, and his body has collapsed. Your second and third brothers are I want to discuss with you what to do about this matter?"
Li Wenxiu said helplessly: "Third Aunt, I am really helpless. All the money I have earned over the years is in the hands of my parents.
The few kilograms of sorghum noodles I bought in Jinzhou City were the money I borrowed from Guilan. "
Mrs. Ye Zhou was a little annoyed when she saw that she was so out of touch, and said in a bad tone: "Wenxiu, no matter how difficult it is to be a junior, you must respect the elderly."
Just as Ye Yutong was about to speak out against her, Li Wenxiu stopped him. She said coldly:
"Third Aunt, now that it's all about this, let's stop hiding it and tell it clearly. How do they want my family to be filial?"
Li Wenxiu ignored brothers Ye Daqing and Ye Dazhuang from the beginning to the end. Since you found a middleman, she would only talk to the middleman.
Mrs. Ye Zhou was a little caught off guard by the question. She glanced at Ye Dazhuang and Ye Daqing.
When they arrived, the old sister only asked her and the third child to come over and act as go-betweens, but she didn’t say how much it would cost.
Ye Daqing looked at his second brother with his head lowered, as if he hadn't seen his third aunt.
He had no choice but to say: "My second brother and I discussed giving my parents five liters of coarse grain, five liters of fine grain, and half a tael of silver every month. If my sister-in-law has any objections, we can discuss it again."
Li Wenxiu said cheerfully: "No objection, I have no objection at all. My parents will support you in your education and raise a few children for you.
You are entitled to whatever amount you get every month, but why should you discuss this with me? What does this have to do with my family? "
Seeing the two of them looking at her with their mouths open, they said sarcastically:
"Since you all came here shamelessly, I will give you some face. After all, he is Ye Dafeng's biological father. Although he has not taken much care of him? But Dafeng cannot be unjust."
Ye Dazhuang and Ye Daqing were relieved to hear that he agreed.
I don’t blame her for being harsh, as long as she is willing to pay and provide food, the rest will be discussed later.
Uncle Ye snorted and said with satisfaction: "That's pretty much it. Although Dafeng is not at home, you are his wife and you have to honor the old man for him."
After hearing what he said, Li Wenxiu smiled sarcastically. She was not going to waste time talking in circles with them, so she said clearly:
"You can ask me to provide food, but I have a condition: five pounds of sorghum noodles in exchange for a letter of renunciation.
If you agree, do the deal now. If you don’t agree, just pretend I didn’t say anything. From now on, we will go back to the bridge and the road back to the road. If you want me to show my filial piety, that is just a daydream. "
Ye Daqing and Ye Dazhuang looked gloomy after hearing this.
Although Uncle Ye felt that Old Man Ye wanted too much, what Li did was too ruthless.
He said angrily: "You, an unvirtuous and unfilial woman, how dare you make such a request? Aren't you afraid that Dafeng will come back and divorce you?"
Ye Mingxuan said in a deep voice: "Whether my father divorces my mother or not, that is our family's business. It is not your turn to make irresponsible remarks here."
He glanced at the four people again and sneered: "My father is not at home. Now I have the final say in the house. What my mother said just now is what I mean. If you want food, you can exchange it for a letter of renunciation."
