Chapter 284: 284 Surprise or Fright Chapter 284: 284 Surprise or Fright Mrs. He stepped outside to wash up, and the als were also ready.
Ye Qinghua went to inform the people from the first and second house to co to the main house for the al, while Ye Jiu brought the food to the table.
When Mrs. He saw the at on the table and the people from the first and second house entering, her face imdiately turned green.
Ironically, Old Man Ye even asked, “By the way, why haven’t I seen Erya leave the house these past few days?”
Although she wasn’t his own biological daughter, she was still a human life after all; Old Man Ye really feared that Mrs. He, in a mont of displeasure, might crush soone to death.
“I had the daughter-in-law of my second son find her a family to marry into. Her in-laws took her away a couple of days ago,” replied Mrs. He. That night, when they tied her hands and feet and stuffed her mouth to move her out, nobody in the family knew about it except for Mrs. He and Mrs. Zhao.
This also showed Erya’s status in the household: she had been gone for two days, and up to now, only Old Man Ye had casually asked about her once.
After hearing Mrs. He’s words, Old Man Ye did not seem to reprimand her but rely said, “Getting married is good, it saves her from causing trouble at ho. But where did you marry her off to, and to which family?”
Mrs. He did not want to discuss this matter in front of Ye Jiu. Sadly, Old Man Ye kept asking, and Mrs. He imdiately flared up, “Why do you care who she marries? She’s not your seed. Is it necessary for you to worry needlessly?”
Old Man Ye was stunned by her response and imdiately darkened his face, served himself a bowl of soup, took two buns, and went out to eat under the big tree in the yard.
Unable to enjoy at more than once every half year, the others were incredibly happy while eating, soon forgetting that their own father was still outside eating in discontent; this nearly drove Old Man Ye to the point of smashing his bowl in anger.
Once the al was over and cleaned up, seeing that Old Man Ye had gone to the yard, Ye Jiu followed him.
“Dad, look, what’s this?” Ye Jiu suddenly popped up from behind Old Man Ye and then held up the land deed for him to see.
Old Man Ye, startled by Ye Jiu’s sudden intrusion, clutched his chest to calm his heart, “You mischievous girl, are you trying to scare to death?”
Ye Jiu smiled, “Isn’t this ant to be a pleasant surprise for you, Dad!”
However, she montarily forgot that Old Man Ye was of advanced age and could not handle such shocks.
“What is it?” Only after catching his breath did Old Man Ye reach out to take what was in Ye Jiu’s hand.
To his surprise, Ye Jiu dodged, leaving him grabbing at empty air.
Then Ye Jiu opened it herself and pointed to the na on the land deed for Old Man Ye to see, “Dad, do you see? A total of seven acres, all pri farmland, registered in your na.”
“You mischievous girl, you really did go to look at the land today, didn’t you? A heads-up would have been nice. What if you had ended up paying too much or the land turned out to be poor quality?” Old Man Ye, with a beaming smile, playfully scolded her.
“Your daughter isn’t foolish, and Wenzheng was with . How could I possibly make a poor deal!” Ye Jiu said as she refolded the land deed in her hand.
“Oh, isn’t this for ? Why are you taking it back?” Old Man Ye, watching Ye Jiu put away the land deed preparing to leave, hastily spoke up.
“It was purchased for you, yes, but this land deed can’t be kept in your hands; it needs to go to Mom,” Ye Jiu stated matter-of-factly.
Old Man Ye beca anxious, “Your mom already has both money and land in her possession; she doesn’t lack this at all. Xiaojiu, just keep the land deed for Dad to hold, it would also give a chance to show off when I’m out and about.”
“That won’t do,” Ye Jiu imdiately objected, “Dad, don’t bla for not notifying you earlier, but nothing in our family, without Mom’s approval, will stay in your hands to be given away to others.”
