Chapter 202: 202 withdraws due to lack of funds Chapter 202: 202 withdraws due to lack of funds When the room door finally opened, Old Man Ye looked at his daughter, whom he hadn’t seen for several months, and his heart truly ached.
Although Ye Jiu, who had changed her clothes, looked much better than when she first returned,
however, the once plump flesh nurtured by her family had completely disappeared, instinctively giving people the feeling that she had suffered greatly outside.
The Ye Family’s youngest daughter had co back, bringing with her a donkey, which once again made the Ye Family stand out in the village, as they already had a cow at ho.
For a ti, many ca to the Ye Family ho to see the donkey.
So were envious, while others made sour comnts.
They said that Ye Jiu hadn’t returned ho for several months and must have been deceived by traffickers, sold off to who knew where; they even speculated that she might no longer be a maiden.
However, these words ultimately reached the ears of Mrs. He, who let loose a fierce scolding that drove the speaker away from the Ye household in sha.
In the afternoon, Ye Wenqing and Ye Wenyu ca back from the town, each carrying a basket on their back.
Then, silver was handed over to Mrs. He.
Not until dinner did Ye Jiu rember to ask, “Dad, Mom, where have Big Brother, Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, and Fourth Brother gone?”
Now that the family had split, Big Sister-in-law was cooking her own als, but Second Sister-in-law was nowhere to be seen, and it was very unusual for Wenyu, Wenxuan, and Qingzhi to be eating in the main house.
Old Man Ye answered, “Ever since you went missing, your brothers have been continuously searching for you outside. Your eldest and second brothers ca back a while ago, stayed at ho for two days, and then left again to look for you. Your fourth brother hasn’t returned since he went out, and your eldest brother said he took the route to the capital city, so it’s likely he’s gone far away.
As for your second sister-in-law…” Old Man Ye glanced at Mrs. He, then sighed, “Well, let’s not talk about it. Let’s just eat, no more talk about her!”
Hearing that her brothers had left ho to search for her, Ye Jiu was deeply moved.
Although the eldest and second brothers had their little selfish motives, at such a ti, they were willing to leave ho for months to search for her, a sentint that felt genuinely profound, making Ye Jiu feel cherished.
Speaking of which, Mrs. He also served Ye Jiu so vegetables, “Little Jiujiu, eat more, you’ve lost so much weight recently. Tomorrow, let Wenqing go to town to buy so at, so I can nourish you properly.”
Ye Jiu smiled without speaking, but she was inwardly contemplating how to find an excuse to take out so at stored in her space.
After dinner, Ye Jiu took the opportunity to ask Ye Wenyu in private, “Wenyu, what exactly happened with Second Sister-in-law?”
Ye Wenyu’s expression was dim, “When we divided the family assets, the twenty taels of silver were taken back to the Zhao Family by my mother. My dad said that if the Zhao Family does not return the silver, he wouldn’t let Mom co back. Later, when Dad went out to look for Little Jiu, Mom ca back a few tis, but Grandma drove her away each ti.”
Ye Jiu then understood that it was still the issue with those twenty taels of silver.
However, Second Sister-in-law really went too far with this matter.
There were still several children at ho waiting to be fed, and she, on the other hand, went to great lengths to dig money from her marital ho to support her own family. No wonder Mrs. He wouldn’t let her in.
The Zhao Family was also the kind of family that would do anything for their son; their daughter had been sent back to her maternal ho for several months over the issue with the silver, yet they were still able to sit idly by without repaying the debt, just letting their married daughter stay in her maternal ho.
Wenyu, looking at the contemplative Ye Jiu, suddenly felt a surge of hope blooming, “Little Jiu, could you please talk to Grandma and let my mother co back? We don’t have the money to pay back, we won’t get involved in the soap business, is that okay?”
