Chapter 65: 65’s requirents are not high
Although Mrs. He had never suffered significantly in the family wars, Ye Jiu always had an intuition that Mrs. He’s heart was actually filled with hatred and resentnt. She shouldn’t have been such a harsh person originally.
Including the fact that Mrs. He least liked the eldest brother and the second brother. Even the third brother who married into another family could make her feel a bit of pity, but only the eldest and the second brother, her own flesh and blood, were never cherished by Mrs. He in her heart. Moreover, Mrs. He was even kinder to Zhang’s wife than to her own eldest son.
As for Zhao’s, Ye Jiu thought that her status in the family was purely her own doing.
It’s not terrible to rely on one’s parental ho, after all, the grace of parental upbringing is greater than heaven, and it is also a form of filial piety. But what is terrible is preferring to let her own children go hungry rather than to stop depending on her family. A daughter-in-law like Zhao’s, no matter in which family, would not be liked.
Ye Jiu got up and hugged Mrs. He, “Mother, you are the most formidable and best mother in Jiujiu’s heart. If Dad ever treats you slightly poorly in the future, then we, mother and daughter, will move out to live by ourselves. Jiujiu isn’t foolish anymore; I’ll definitely make lots and lots of money in the future, and then, after I’ve made money, I’ll buy two maids to serve you and let Mother live as a wealthy matron.”
“Good, good!” Mrs. He was amused by Ye Jiu and her eyes brightened with smiles.
...
Half a day later, Ye Acheng returned, and Mrs. He imdiately let go of Ye Jiu, “My dear child, go sit in your sister-in-law’s room for a while.”
Ye Jiu didn’t want to go, but since Mrs. He insisted, Ye Jiu couldn’t force a stay.
However, out of fear that Ye Acheng might truly be persuaded by Lady Li, and that Mother might suffer, Ye Jiu didn’t dare to leave. As soon as she stepped out, she quietly hid beneath the window, ready to secretly eavesdrop.
Ye Jiu had just crouched down when soone patted her back. Turning around, she saw Ye Qinghua also crouched behind her, asking, “Cousin, what are you doing crouched by the window?”
“Shush…” Ye Jiu imdiately made a silence gesture to Ye Qinghua, following which Ye Acheng’s voice began to emanate from the room.
“Old woman, it was Lady Li who caused us to break off our engagent back then, making you scorned at your parental ho and suffer for several years, and you almost ended up hanging yourself. But she has also faced retribution over these years.
No matter what, Erya is still my flesh and blood. She’s grown up so much and won’t be able to stay at ho for more than two years now. Even if you can’t cherish her like Jiujiu, at least let her have enough food and clothing!” Others envied them for having a harmonious polygamous family, but no one would know the difficulty unless it fell upon them, especially for a peasant with little to offer, like him.
Ye Acheng’s voice was full of bitterness and pleading.
“Ye Cheng, so you still rember. Because she shalessly climbed onto the bed of her cousin, who was already betrothed, causing this innocent one to suffer an unwarranted broken engagent and unable to marry out, being tornted for years back in her parental ho. So, you still rember you wronged
first, huh?” Mrs. He scoffed coldly. “If it weren’t for today’s drama, I’d have thought you’d long forgotten!”
Ye Acheng’s face turned awkward, “This… This has been so many years ago, even though there were so difficulties then, didn’t we still end up as husband and wife?
Moreover, Lady Li has long known her mistake, to forgive when possible, and moreover, their mother and daughter aren’t asking for much…”
Bang!
Ye Acheng’s conciliatory words were cut in half when Mrs. He suddenly swept everything off the kang head onto the floor, creating a clattering sound, which also represented the fury in her heart.
