Ye Daqing's heart moved and he hurriedly went out to say hello, "Sister, you're here, come in and sit down."
Seeing how enthusiastic he was today, Ye Lanhua rolled her eyes and asked with a smile: "Third brother, is there anything good you can do?"
She wondered in her heart, did the family get food during the Chinese New Year?
Another thought was wrong. With the third brother's virtue, even if he got the food, he would hide it and not let her know.
Ye Daqing glanced at the closed door of the second room and whispered, "Sister, it's a good thing. Our family is prosperous."
He stretched out his palm and made a five sign, "I heard that an embroidery piece costs fifty taels of silver. Since I came here, I have embroidered several pieces!"
Ye Lanhua asked suspiciously: "Brother, are you telling the truth? That dead girl? Even I couldn't look down on the tattered handkerchiefs she embroidered before. What kind of villain would spend so much money to buy her embroidery?" "
"It's absolutely true. Dad and I suspect that the second brother and second sister-in-law deliberately concealed Yuqing's craftsmanship because they didn't want to hand over the money."
Ye Daqing shook his head sadly again, "My parents are so pitiful. I just eat some bark and grass roots every day."
He worked hard to make a living for his family, and even saved some food for Mingwei. Unexpectedly, the son and his wife hid the money. Seeing their parents starving, they were reluctant to buy some food to honor their parents. "
Ye Lanhua's eyes widened, it seemed like this was true.
She always thought that Ye Dafeng was cunning and not close to his family, but she never thought that his second brother could be so selfish.
She was very angry. It was not worth it to stand up for her parents. The second brother was not like this before. It must have been that Huang Yunqin who instigated it.
And that damn girl Yuqing is very cunning, so it’s not necessarily her idea.
She rolled up her sleeves and said angrily: "Brother, where are your parents? This matter cannot be settled. Since the second brother and second sister-in-law are so unfilial, then we, the two siblings, must stand up for our parents."
Ye Daqing secretly laughed, this sister is a person who has no profit and cannot afford to be early. If there is such a good thing, she will definitely get involved.
On his face, he pretended to be helpless, "It's in the room. When dad found out, he was so angry that he's lying on the bed now."
Ye Lanhua went directly to her parents' thatched house and said angrily: "Father, mother, second brother, and second sister-in-law are too much, how can I do this to you two elders?
Don’t you know what the year is like now? They hid their money so that their parents could not even eat food. They were really a white-eyed wolf in the family. "
Mrs. Ye Zhang was upset when she knew that her son and his wife were secretly hiding money, and after hearing what her daughter said, her anger also emerged.
He opened the door and went directly to Ye Dazhuang's house.
Ye Lanhua and Ye Daqing looked at each other and followed her in.
After Ye Dazhuang came back, he told his wife and children about the matter.
Huang Yunqin's face changed with fear, and Ye Yuqing quickly found a place to hide the unfinished embroidered screen.
But the thatched house was only so big, and there was no furniture inside, just a bare earthen bed, and there was no place to hide!
All the money she earned was buried in the house. Now that she thinks about it, it's not safe. She should have buried it farther away if she had known earlier.
Just when the family was worried and hiding things, they heard Ye Lanhua's voice.
Ye Yuqing felt terrible. This aunt loved to take care of her family's affairs. Why was she here during the Chinese New Year?
Ye Mingxiang hid the embroidery in his arms and planned to take it to his room first and wait until he could deal with the matter at hand.
Just as he was about to go out, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Mrs. Ye Zhang saw that the second child's family was in a panic, and the eldest grandson's arms were still bulging, and he knew something was hidden at a glance.
She looked very ugly. She never thought that even her eldest grandson would be involved in this matter. She was heartbroken and disappointed.
"Mingxiang, your father and I love you so much, and this is how you repay us."
Ye Mingxiang's face turned red instantly, and the embroidery in his arms was like a hot potato.
His lips moved twice, but in the end he said nothing and lowered his head in embarrassment.
Ye Lanhua pointed at Ye Dazhuang and Huang Yunqin and said angrily: "My parents provide you with food and drink, and also let Mingxiang go to the academy in the town to study.
But you guys are so cruel, you have to hide so much money yourself, and you are not even willing to give food to your two elders. You are really cruel. "
Ye Dazhuang wanted to retort, but after taking a look at Ye Zhang, he swallowed his words again and lowered his head with a guilty conscience.
Huang Yunqin was also afraid of Mrs. Ye Zhang. Despite her kind-hearted appearance, her mother-in-law had a cruel heart, just like her father-in-law.
In addition, there is indeed money hidden in the room. If it is found out, their family will not be able to eat and walk away.
But she still pretended to be calm and said: "Lanhua, who did you hear this from? If we really had money, we could still watch our family starve."
Ye Daqing sneered and said: "Second sister-in-law, please stop hiding it. Sister-in-law Qiuyue said that the embroidery you sold in the city only cost fifty taels of silver at a time."
Ye Yuqing couldn't hide it anymore, so she took the initiative to stand up and said: "Nay, I'm learning embroidery, but I haven't finished it yet. I wanted to surprise you after I finish it.
As for the third uncle's claim that he got a lot of money from selling embroidery, that's not the case at all. My mother and Aunt Qiuyue don't get along in the first place. She must have deliberately soured the relationship between our families by saying this. "
Huang Yunqin immediately said: "Mom, Chen Qiuyue is not a good person. She wants our family to quarrel every day, so don't be fooled by her."
"Hmph, Chen Qiuyue is quite powerful, but she is not someone who loves to spread rumors. She would never tell nonsense if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes."
Mrs. Ye Zhang looked around the thatched house and said solemnly: "You guys should take it out yourself, or let me do it."
Ye Yuqing stepped forward, with tears in her eyes, looking extremely aggrieved, "Grandma, we really didn't hide any money, what did you ask my parents to bring out?"
She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said sadly: "Would you rather trust outsiders than your own sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren?"
Mrs. Ye Zhang glanced at her, but she was thinking in her heart that at such a young age, her granddaughter had as many eyes as a sieve.
Now, I don’t know which of what she said is true and which is false? She winked at her daughter Ye Lanhua.
Ye Lanhua said with a smile: "Yuqing, your grandma must believe you, but people outside my family say that your parents have hidden their private money. Your grandma doesn't want others to spread rumors about you, and wants to prove that you are innocent.
So don’t stop me. Let your grandma take a look in the house. If there is really no money hidden, then we will tear Chen Qiuyue’s mouth apart and see if she dares to spread rumors in the future? "
After saying that, he walked up to Ye Mingxiang and snatched the half-embroidered screen from his arms when he wasn't paying attention.
Seeing the embroidery work on it, I opened my mouth in surprise.
I really didn’t expect this damn girl to have such skills. This is not something that can be learned overnight. It seems that the second bedroom must have hidden a lot of money!
