Mrs. Ye Zhang also saw the beautiful picture, and the anger in her heart burst out.
After glaring at Ye Dazhuang and Huang Yunqin, they started to rummage in the room, and Ye Lanhua also ran over to help.
The couple searched through the quilt, clothes, and every corner of the thatched house, but only found a handful of copper coins.
But Ye Daqing was observing Ye Dazhuang's family.
Ye Dazhuang and Ye Daqing both lowered their heads. Ye Yuqing stood there wiping tears as if she had been wronged.
Ye Mingwei, who was usually arrogant and domineering, was lying on the kang sleeping.
Huang Yunqin stood next to Ye Dazhuang, scanning a corner of the thatched house with his peripheral vision. He glanced at it and then immediately looked away, as if he was afraid of being discovered by others.
Ye Daqing looked over calmly. There was a rough wooden table that was made when the house was just built.
There was something wrong with the soil under the wooden table, as if it had been dug up recently, and Ye Daqing was secretly happy.
I didn’t expect that my second brother and sister-in-law were very good at hiding. If you didn’t look carefully, you really wouldn’t be able to find them.
He wanted to dig it up to see what was hidden inside? But then I thought, he is a scholar, and it would be too shameful for him to rummage through things in his brother and sister-in-law's room.
When my classmates find out about it later, I don’t know how to laugh at him?
He winked at Ye Lanhua, and Ye Lanhua followed her gaze and noticed the clue.
He immediately ran to the yard and brought a hoe.
Just as they were about to dig, Huang Yunqin stood in the way and said sharply: "Ye Lanhua, what are you going to do? You, a married girl, actually ran into your brother and sister-in-law's room to rummage through things. Are you still shameless?"
Ye Zhang's eyes turned red with anger. He pulled Huang Yunqin away and started digging with a hoe.
Ye Yuqing stopped pretending to cry. She looked at the three people who were rummaging around in their room with a gloomy face, knowing that the money would definitely not be saved.
She had wanted to split the family some time ago, but neither her father nor her eldest brother agreed, fearing that it would affect the eldest brother's imperial examination.
My grandma would not agree even more. If my parents were still alive and separated, they would be stabbed in the spine.
After digging about a foot deep, something wrapped in oil paper was revealed.
Mrs. Ye Zhang opened the package in front of everyone, revealing the silver ingots inside, which amounted to about ninety taels.
"Second brother, didn't you say you didn't hide any money? Then what is this?"
Ye Dazhuang knelt there with a plop, Huang Yunqin and Ye Mingxiang also knelt down.
Ye Yuqing's head was spinning rapidly. Since the money could not be saved, she could no longer quarrel with her grandma. She knelt there, hugging Ye Zhang's legs, and said with a smile:
"Grandma, seeing that you are impatient, you hid this money because it was your granddaughter's wish.
My grandpa’s birthday is next month. I plan to embroider this screen and give it to you two elders together with the money to make you happy. Unexpectedly, my mother accidentally said it and the news leaked out. "
She sighed with pretense of regret, "The surprise that my granddaughter has been preparing for grandpa for so long has just come to nothing."
Mrs. Ye Zhang stared at her granddaughter for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "You girl is so thoughtful. What kind of surprises do we need for a birthday for a country family like us? As long as you have me and your grandpa in your heart." "
He helped her up affectionately and said, "Get up quickly, the ground is so cold, and the bones in your body will be frozen."
He glanced at Ye Dazhuang and the others again, and said in a calm voice: "You two are not young yet, and you are still messing around with your children? If Shitou's wife hadn't spoken out today, your father and I would still have been kept in the dark.
Are you just going to watch your family go hungry? But you hid this life-saving money just to surprise your father on his birthday? "
Ye Dazhuang and Huang Yunqin knew that this matter was over, and they both breathed a sigh of relief. Although they felt sorry for the bag of silver, they still said respectfully:
"Mom, we know we were wrong. We will discuss everything with our parents in the future and never dare to make decisions without authorization again."
Mrs. Ye Zhang also showed a smile, "Get up, don't you know how much your father and I love you? You'll freeze yourself later, and it won't be us two immortals who feel sorry for you."
Ye Yuqing hugged her arm and said coquettishly: "Grandma, look at what you said, you and my father are still young. From now on, my granddaughter will spend all the money she earns on you, and let you be an old lady at home, and then buy Several servants will serve you."
"Oh, my dear granddaughter, grandma is waiting to enjoy your blessings from now on."
Mrs. Ye Zhang held Ye Yuqing in her arms affectionately, as if the hiding of the money had not happened.
Before going out, he gave the half-embroidered screen to Ye Yuqing, "Qingqing, just embroider a few stitches when you have nothing to do. Don't stay up too late at night, or it will hurt your eyes."
Ye Yuqing sent her out with a smile on her face and said obediently: "Yes, grandma."
The door of the thatched house was closed, and the faces of the people inside and outside the door changed.
Ye Dazhuang and Ye Mingxiang breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces were not ugly.
Huang Yunqin and Ye Yuqing's faces were gloomy, and they wanted to tear that talkative stone wife apart.
But they also didn’t think about it, if they didn’t show off in front of others, how would others know about their embroidery?
Mrs. Ye Zhang returned to the thatched house and put the bag of silver on the kang.
Old Man Ye had just heard the conversation between several people. He squinted at the bag of silver and said expressionlessly:
"Don't let girl Qing do the work at home from now on. In two years, it's time to tell her to take good care of her at home. If you have nothing to do, she can do embroidery in the house. She doesn't need to do the rough work at home."
"I see."
Mrs. Ye Zhang thought the same way. Since she had such skills, how could she be willing to let her do other work? Any piece of embroidery would be enough to last their family for a long time.
Although food is expensive and hard to buy now, you can still buy it if you can afford it.
No matter what everyone thinks? Let this matter be over.
Old man Ye took his son, grandson and son-in-law to the dock to buy a sack of coarse grains.
New Year's Day.
Since there were no classes these days, Ye Mingxuan and Li Yunze went back to the house to sleep just after dinner.
Dayuan said to Ye Mingzhe: "Second brother, eldest brother and master go to bed so early every day. Why do you think they are so sleepy?"
"Dayuan, it's time for them to grow taller. Only by going to bed early can they grow taller."
Ye Mingzhe smiled and touched his head, "Let's go to bed too. If we become dwarfs in the future, it will be difficult to find a wife."
As soon as Dayuan heard that sleeping late would make him a dwarf, he quickly climbed onto the kang and said, "Second brother, let's sleep too."
After they all returned to the house, Ye Mingxuan and Li Yunze quietly opened the door and walked to the backyard.
They agreed yesterday that they would go into space to kill rabbits today. No one thought rabbits could reproduce so quickly? Now there are so many rabbits inside that it has become a disaster.
I put a few in at the beginning, but after only a few months, there are already hundreds of them inside.
After Dayuan and Qiaoer fell asleep, Li Wenxiu and Ye Mingzhe also entered the space.
Ye Yutong was guarding outside, afraid that if someone came over, she could enter the space and take them out.
