As soon as Ye Zhenzhen's burn healed, it was three days before she could return home.
Brother Zhen went up the mountain again and hunted a roe deer, so he took it home as a gift and returned to his parents' home with Ye Zhenzhen.
The original sister Siya and brother Huwa were waiting at the door. When they saw them from a distance, they ran home and shouted, "The eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law are back, and they brought a big roe deer with them!"
Won't these two silly kids come over to help? The roe deer is still very heavy.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhenzhen looked at the fat and strong roe deer and felt extremely distressed;
"The homecoming gifts for women in the village are just a few kilograms of meat and a few kilograms of fruit. Brother Zhen, why do you need to give such a big gift? You might as well stay at home and recuperate your mother."
Cui Weizhen had a strange look on his face. Should he not show any respect to her? She felt bad.
Ye Zhenzhen had no feelings for the original owner's family. Instead, she regarded herself as a member of the Cui family, so she treated one favorably and favored the other. However, she couldn't talk about these things to others, so she had to treat herself as a married daughter and throw away the water.
This year, the Ye family gave Brother Zhen a lot of face and did not work in the fields. Except for the married Li Cuier who did not come back, more than a dozen people from the third room stayed at home and waited.
When Ye Boshan saw the roe deer brought by Brother Zhen, the wrinkles on his face relaxed:
"Brother Zhen is really a stranger. We villagers don't pay attention to these false etiquette. We just wait until Daya comes back. How can he be worthy of such a big gift?"
"How can I say that Brother Zhen is capable? Not only is he good at writing articles, but he is also a top hunter. He is not even as good as the hunters in our village."
Li Erniang's eyes shone brightly, and she stepped forward and snatched the roe deer from her hand. It was difficult for her, who was so thin and lonely, to carry such a fat roe deer without blushing or panting. She kept talking:
"Da Ya, do you know what Brother Zhen is about now? If Brother Zhen is capable, how can he still starve you? You are the only one who is ignorant and is clamoring to marry some cousin. Isn't this nonsense?"
Her face is full of wrinkles, her skin is dry and wrinkled, and she is ugly, yet she has to make a loving and angry expression, as if she is some kind of wonderful grandma.
But that grandma exposed her granddaughter's cheating when the new uncle came home? She clearly had ulterior motives and did not want Ye Zhenzhen to feel better.
"Grandma, that's not what you said before. You said that Brother Zhen has no future and that our family is so poor that we can't even afford meat. You even asked me to run away from the marriage in the middle of the night so that Erya could marry him instead. In just a few days,
Have you forgotten all about it?”
Ye Zhenzhen was so disgusted that she started to retaliate. She even took out some broken silver from her belt as physical evidence, with a look of aggrievement on her face:
"Grandma, why did you lie to me? Don't you love me the most?"
Li Erniang's face turned blue and white. From the corner of her eye, she saw the man's livid face and quickly retorted loudly:
"You girl, you don't know what is good or bad. It's because you are looking for life and do not want to marry Brother Zhen. This is something that everyone in the village knows. Why should I marry Erya on my behalf? Isn't it because you don't want to? I am willing to be wronged.
Which one? They are all cutting my flesh."
He avoided the important matter and ignored the light, and directly cried out his grievances.
Li Erniang used this move so skillfully that not only did Ye Boshan's expression soften slightly, but Erya's father Ye Shiming also turned cold and scolded Ye Zhenzhen;
"Da Ya, how good your grandma is to you is something that the whole family can see. It's okay for you to be ungrateful and filial. Now you dare to contradict your elders! I shouldn't have agreed to your marriage to Brother Zhen in the first place. Let you
Marrying into the Cui family will bring disaster to Brother Zhen's family."
After saying that, he looked at Brother Zhen apologetically, "Brother Zhen, it is our Ye family's lax discipline that has made you wronged. If Da Ya does something wrong in the future, just deal with it. Our Ye family will never
Nothing to say."
Listen, is this what people say?
Ye Zhenzhen was so angry that she almost exploded.
Brother Zhen stood in front of her calmly and spoke before her:
"Second uncle, you are serious. Zhen Zhen has a straightforward and lovely temperament. She has taken care of my mother attentively and thoughtfully these past few days. She is very pleased with her. There is no unfilial behavior. Second uncle, you are worrying too much."
Ye Shiming was a child student. When he was interacting with his classmates, he knew that Brother Zhen had an extraordinary family background and outstanding academic skills. He would do something great in the future, so he hinted that his mother had interfered with the marriage between Daya and Brother Zhen, but he did not expect it to fail.
But he was not discouraged, because he knew that a young man like Zhen Geer with an extraordinary background would definitely look down on a vulgar and ignorant village woman like Da Ya, and the relationship between the couple must not be good, so he thought of flattering her.
,
As a result, the flattery was slapped on the horse's hooves, and I didn't say anything in front of Brother Zhen. I was also humiliated, and my face suddenly became a little uneasy.
The second uncle of the original owner is also a strange person. Although he is a scholar, he is obviously a farmer, but he is not diligent about his body and grain. He relies on his whole family to support his studies.
The Ye family, which was originally quite wealthy, was reduced to poverty by him. When Ye Daya got married, she didn't even have a decent dowry.
Studying is a waste of money, so it should be treated as an investment. However, Ye Shiming didn't have the slightest talent for studying. After decades of hard work, he was just a child.
He was not happy when his family refused to let him study, and he often asked for money from his family to socialize with his classmates. He was a bastard. Thanks to his thick skin, a gnawing old moth dared to accuse others of being unfilial.
Ye Zhenzhen despised this kind of human scum the most. Of course, she despised Ye Boshan who condoned all this. She stuck her head out from behind Brother Zhen and said sarcastically:
"Second uncle, even without me, brother Zhen will not marry his first wife's sister as his stepmother. You'd better be more careful and take good care of your husband's family for Erya. Otherwise, your reputation will be ruined, and no one will dare to want her.
Woolen cloth"
The destructive power of Ye Zhenzhen's words was huge. Except for Dafang and the unlucky bachelor Ye Sanyong, everyone in the Ye family changed their minds.
Especially Ye Boshan, whose face looked as ugly as if someone had slapped him in the face. Ye Zhenzhen's words were not only mocking Ye Shiming, but weren't they also scolding him?
There are many examples in the world of people marrying their wives to fill houses, but Ye Boshan felt guilty and was very taboo about others bringing up this topic.
He and Li Erniang had an affair when his first wife, Aunt Li, was ill. Aunt Li was furious when she saw their affair.
Less than a month after Aunt Li's death, Erniang Li became pregnant, and then she married someone in a hurry, and this was Ye Shiming.
If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, if the old man's body is not straight and his mind is not pure, no wonder the son he raises is not a thing.
