Chapter 132: All dues and undue have been given
Mada He sneered secretly, “Sister-in-law, our fourth son is an honest man, and we can’t find him a wife who’s too cunning. Since the girl has already said she looks down on our family, then let it be, we won’t cling onto her.”
“As it is, then I’ll just start arranging for other girls. It’s just that it’ll definitely take a few days, but we have to get your fourth married soon so that you can hold a grandson,” the Wang family’s sister-in-law said ingratiatingly.
After the visitors had left, Mada He spat, “What’s the matter? After the division of the family, they look down on my son. Is it just because they fear that the fourth son will end up with nothing after being divided from the family, right? I have plenty of money in my hands, and I’m not afraid that my son won’t be able to find a wife.”
Ye Jiu drank a cup of water inside the house, ca out, and asked Mada He, “Mother, what’s going on? Weren’t they saying that the other side agreed just a few days ago? How co they suddenly changed their minds?”
“It’s because they saw that we had divided the family and feared that your fourth brother wouldn’t get much, and we would have to take on the responsibility of providing for the elderly. They’re afraid of marrying into hardship,” Mada He explained.
Ye Jiu spread his hands.
If that’s really the reason, then that girl’s family is a bit too anxious.
With the soap business contracted and myself here to support it, our family prospering is just a matter of ti. That girl really judged the wrong person.
Once news of our family’s affairs gets out in a few days, I’m afraid they will have regrets.
Anyway, it was soone I haven’t t, and aside from feeling a bit uncomfortable being looked down upon, I can’t say there were any feelings to speak of.
It wasn’t long before many people saw Ye Gaosheng returning with an ox cart. Ye Gaosheng hadn’t been gone long before people ca in droves to see the ox at the Ye Family’s.
At that ti, oxen were as valuable as BMWs in my previous life.
Especially Ye Lao Han, who was chatting with other old n outside. He beca restless when he heard his son had co back with an ox cart and hurried ho in a fluster.
“Wife… wife…” Ye Lao Han’s voice arrived before he did,” I heard people saying that the fourth bought an ox ho, is it true or false?”
“Uncle, it’s true, your family has struck it rich! Look at this ox, how robust it is!” Before Mada He could speak up, bystanders joined in the conversation.
The mont Ye Lao Han saw the ox, he was so excited that he nearly burst into tears.
He never would have imagined that in his lifeti he, Ye Cheng, would be among the few who owned an ox.
What a good fortune, truly good!
After the crowd of onlookers had dispersed, Ye Gaoshi approached Ye Lao Han with a complex expression and said, “Dad, when it cos to buying an ox for the house, how co you never ntioned it?”
Just yesterday we had divided the family, and today dad and mom bought an ox ho. Ye Gaoshi thought this was clearly due to their parents being upset about the division and doing this deliberately.
Ye Lao Han regained so composure after being addressed like this by Ye Gaoshi and let out a cold snort, “I would have liked to discuss it, but when would I have had the ti? You brothers started the division right after coming back from the town, without any concern for the fact that your brother hasn’t married yet, and couldn’t even wait a few months.
Now that everything has gone your way, I’ve given everything that was due and not due to you brothers. Now, everything that us old folks spend is ours and also your brother’s and sister’s. We can buy whatever we want, it’s none of your concern anyway.”
“Dad…” Ye Gaoshi started guiltily, especially since today when the Wang family’s sister-in-law ntioned that the marriage affair for the fourth had fallen through, Ye Gaoshi was there in the house and heard everything clearly, making him feel even worse.
