As soon as Mrs. Pan left, Mrs. Ye hurried to the study to find Ye Dacai.

Ye Dacai was grinding for his father, and when he saw Aunt Ye waving at him at the door, he said to Ye Maoqing respectfully, "Father, I'm going to chop firewood. If I don't chop firewood, I won't be able to burn at night."

"A man who works all day, no wonder you don't have the mind to study. A man who wants to be an official should study quietly. Those jobs should be done by women."

Ye Maoqing educated his son as a matter of course.

Ye Dacai replied respectfully, "Chopping firewood is heavy work, the child's mother can't do it, our family is poor, and we can't afford rough labor, so I have to do it."

"Okay, okay, let's go, after chopping, come and grind ink for me." Ye Maoqing was impatient to talk to his son about things that had nothing to do with studying.

This is a waste of time.

Waste of life.

Ye Dacai put down the grinder, and exited the study carefully.

Aunt Ye pulled him and hurried to the side, "Father, the fourth daughter-in-law came over just now and said Mrs. Li..."

Aunt Ye told the story, and then said anxiously, "A few days ago, I asked Mrs. Li to give us a gift as a matchmaker. If she is not honest, she will give us a gift and introduce a girl with bad character. what to do?"

"Okay, we can't listen to her one-sided words. If she is a matchmaker for a gift, we don't agree first, but secretly ask about the character of the other party. If the character is good, we will make a decision for the gift. If the character is not good, we will find it." It's just an excuse."

Ye Dacai was calm, and with a few words of comfort, Auntie Ye's impatience subsided.

"Then... we won't go to Wu's house?"

"Grandma Li is a well-known matchmaker nearby. If you quit her, how can other matchmakers dare to give gifts to protect the matchmaker?"

Aunt Ye stopped mentioning it immediately.

She said, "Xiaoyou is also a poor child. When Dashan was alive, he helped us a lot. We haven't paid back the salary he lent to Xiaosan and Laojiu. Now that Dashan is gone, only Xiaoyou is left. One bloodline, we have to take care of one or two."

"Well, when your mother comes back, you can talk to her about it."

After Ye Da finished speaking, he really went to chop firewood.

Aunt Ye went to the kitchen to make tea for her father-in-law.

As soon as the tea was ready, Ye Cili came back in a donkey cart to pick up Mistress Ye.

"Put the things in the house, I'll go to the fourth room first." Mistress Ye told her grandson before getting out of the donkey cart.

When Mrs. Ye came out, she was greeted by Mistress Ye to get into the donkey cart, "Boss, you go with me. The fifth wife is gone. That child feels so uncomfortable. Why don't you leave the child alone?" In the old adobe house, if something goes wrong, our first room and the second room will become accomplices."

The mistress put on a serious face and gave her daughter-in-law a scolding.

Aunt Ye lowered her head, not daring to say a word.

When the mistress brought her son and daughter-in-law to the fourth room, Ye Youran was breaking winter bamboo shoots with Ye Dashi Pan. The little girl didn't have much strength in her hands, and her fingernails were broken.

Mistress Ye looked at her with distress, "Xiaoyou, this is rough work, don't do it, let your fourth uncle and fourth mother do it."

"Mistress, you are back."

Ye Youran threw down the winter bamboo shoots, ran over quickly, and threw herself into Mistress Ye's arms, "Mistress, you are back, Xiaoyou misses you so much."

"Son, I'm sorry for you."

Mistress Ye likes little girls, but her daughter-in-law only gave birth to two grandsons and no granddaughter, so she has always loved the gentle and well-behaved Ye Youran as her own granddaughter.
