Chapter 135: The one who comes to propose marriage at door number 135 will definitely break the threshold.
Madam He leisurely finished the red bean cake in her hand, completely ignoring Old Man Ye as she began tidying up the items in the carrying basket.
These two children were more extravagant than the other, spending money before they even earned it, not only buying a cow but also filling the basket with all sorts of goods.
And her Little Jiujiu, upon returning, had transformed from a little girl into a little boy.
After a while, Madam He took out a greasy slab of pork belly from the basket and turned to Old Man Ye, saying, “I’ll go boil the meat. The children have worked hard, and we shall eat earlier today. After all, your daughter and son have bought quite a lot of red bean cakes, so if we get hungry later, we can use them to fill our stomachs.”
“Hey, you, wife of mine, I’m talking to you, and you’re going to cook again…” Old Man Ye stretched out his hand, but couldn’t restrain Madam He’s current bout of enthusiasm.
With the chunk of meat in her hand, she had the intention to show it off outside. The matter of her two sons causing trouble about dividing the family was always a thorn in her heart.
She wanted to show those two fools whether they thought they would have a good life after leaving the family?
Big mistake!
The family’s good fortune had just begun, and they were so eager to leave. Pity that the good fortune lay with their daughter, and by leaving, they would be abandoning it too.
Now, her side of the family could eat meat just after the division, while those two unfilial fools wouldn’t even get a taste of meat soup. Let’s see if they would regret it.
Madam He, filled with triumphant thoughts, made her way to the kitchen, her actions making loud, clangorous sounds, as if afraid that others wouldn’t know she was preparing meat today.
Inside the house, Ye Jiu watched Old Man Ye get so angry he puffed out his beard and glared, laughing happily, only to receive from him a fierce scowl.
“You ungrateful girl, just siding with your mother to bully your father, huh!” Old Man Ye said sadly.
“Dad, you really don’t need to worry about Fourth Brother’s marriage,” Ye Jiu laughed even more joyfully. “They simply refused the marriage proposal because they think our family’s sudden decision to divide must be due to difficult relations with Brother and Sister-in-law. They don’t want to spend the silver on a wife for their little brother, fearing she’ll suffer because of our lack. But just you wait and see, Dad. With this new cow we’ve got, suitors will be knocking our door down. You and Mom just be careful not to get dazzled by all your choices of daughters-in-law.”
After a brief moment of thought, Old Man Ye felt much relieved.
Indeed, cows were valuable assets. With it, the fourth son wouldn’t have to worry about not finding a wife.
Moreover, with this cow, their family would be the ones doing the choosing, not others picking their sons.
Only then did Old Man Ye smile contentedly and asked Ye Jiu, “By the way, how are things going with the soap? I just asked your Fourth Brother, and he was reluctant to answer. Told me to ask you, and I nearly forgot all about it because of your mother’s fussing.”
“The soap has been sold, and they’ve even placed an order for another thousand bars of soap,” Ye Jiu said proudly. “Otherwise, why would Fourth Brother be in such a hurry to make molds?”
“It’s been sold? For how much?” Old Man Ye stroked his beard, struggling to contain his excitement as he asked.
“The silver…” Ye Jiu deliberately teased, saying, “Not a single bit of silver was left, it was all used to bring back that cow outside. But once we finish making those thousand bars of soap and deliver them, we’ll be able to save the money.”
Ye Jiu felt relieved that she was accompanied by Fourth Brother this time, an obedient and hardworking man with not too much on his mind.
Otherwise, it would have been difficult for her to bluff her way through outside and then continue doing so at home.
