Chapter 6: The Dog Meddles With the Mouse

"Um, ask Cicada, what is this?"

In order to divert everyone's attention, Wang Yazhen quickly pointed to the two tea cakes in Ye Wenchan's hand and asked.

"Oh, by the way, this is some tea for my adoptive father."

Ye Wenchan didn't seem to hear the emotion in Miao Wenxia's words, and quickly handed the tea to Wang Yazhen.

"Hey, let me see what good tea our uncle has brought."

Next to Miao Wenxia, ​​a middle-aged woman dressed in a coquettish way said that she grabbed the tea leaves first and opened them on the spot!

She is the mother of Miao Wenhui and Miao Wenxia, ​​and is Cao Yue's future mother-in-law, named Yan Peizhi.

As Yan Peizhi tore open the oil-paper bag, everyone looked up and saw two dark tea cakes in the oil-paper bag, intertwined and shiny.

"What kind of tea is this? Could it be that it's the firewood roots that you picked up on the mountain, uncle?"

Yan Peizhi rubbed the tea cake with her fingers, speaking with a strong sense of superiority.

"Hahaha, yes, look at these tea leaves. They are just like the broomsticks in my house. They fall off when you shake them."

"Yes, yes, this is also called tea? The tea foam I pour out at home is stronger than this."

As soon as Yan Peizhi opened his mouth, several relatives of the Miao family also spoke to you, and he started to sarcastically comment.

"We all know that uncle, you are poor and your conditions are not good. It would be nice if that person came, so what kind of gift would you bring? It would be embarrassing."

Miao Wenxia spoke unabashedly, and her tone was full of contempt.

"This is……"

Just as Ye Wenchan was about to speak, wanting to explain the origin of the tea to Cao Zheng, Wang Yazhen quickly patted his hand and said: "Oh, no matter what you bring, it is all from Wenchan's heart. Isn't this tea?"

It doesn't matter, we are all members of the family, I don't mind you."

'Snapped……'

Cao Zheng, over there, slammed the table, startling everyone.

"Why are you so weird? This is my home. It will be a great joy for my son to come back. If anyone keeps gossiping, just give it to me..."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Yazhen covered his mouth and whispered to Ye Wenchan: "Wen Chan, why don't you persuade your dad quickly? Today is the big day for Xiaoyue's engagement. Do you want to embarrass the Cao family?

What?"

Ye Wenchan smiled and patted Cao Zheng's hand and said, "Dad, it's okay. Today is a good day, isn't it? Don't be angry."

"Yes, my son is right. If you don't want to get angry with those ignorant people, we have to make an agreement today. We must not get drunk or come back. You can't run away from me again."

Cao Zheng was so happy that he and Ye Wenchan started talking in advance before it was even served.

Ye Wenchan said: "I will come back this time and won't leave for the time being."

"Not leaving?"

Cao Zheng gave Ye Wenchan a roll of his eyes: "I don't believe your nonsense, but if you can stay a little longer, just stay a little longer. After all, this is home, right?"

"Dad is right!"

Ye Wenchan poured a glass of wine for Cao Zheng, then quietly touched Cao Zheng's pulse and remained silent.

"Well, I'll go to the kitchen to order the food."

Seeing Ye Wenchan comforting Cao Zheng, Wang Yazhen quickly picked up the two tea cakes that caused trouble and ran into the kitchen.

"Where's Xiaoxue?"

Ye Wenchan asked casually as if nothing happened while feeling Cao Zheng's pulse.

Cao Xue is Cao Zheng's second daughter. She is also twenty-two years old this year.

"That crazy girl has set up a company and is so busy every day that no one is seen. Don't mention her. This girl is very powerful now. She only talks about money every day."

Cao Zheng waved his hand, not bothering to mention the guy who made him worried.

Ye Wenchan smiled.

Soon, the wine and food were served, and Cao Yue and Miao Wenhui walked over holding wine glasses.

While Miao Wenhui smiled intriguingly at Ye Wenchan, he shook the golden watch on his left hand, deliberately making it shine under the light. It was very luxurious and high-profile.

"Brother, this is a good name. I asked Chan, the name has the meaning of becoming a monk."

After speaking, Miao Wenhui raised his cup high and gestured to Ye Wenchan.

Ye Wenchan stood up and raised his wine glass as well.

Before Ye Wenchan could speak, Miao Wenhui continued: "I heard that my future father-in-law is very optimistic about you. Back then, I also wanted you to marry Yueyue with a baby?"

Cao Yue was stunned and quickly bumped Miao Wenhui with her elbow: "Stop saying a few words."

Wang Yazhen also laughed and said, "That was all in the past. What's more, Xiaoyue can find such a good husband as you. Wen Chan is also happy, right?"

Ye Wenchan smiled and said nothing, just nodded.

Because the toasting ceremony was basically over, Miao Wenhui and Cao Yue had no intention of going anywhere else and simply sat at this table.

"I heard that you have been studying Taoism in the mountains for eight years. Are you planning to return to secular life?"

As soon as Miao Wenhui sat down, he asked Ye Wenchan.

"It's none of your business to ask what the cicada is doing? A dog is meddling in other people's business like a mouse."

Cao Zheng said angrily.

Miao Wenhui was not angry. He touched his chin and said, "Isn't this my normal care? Father-in-law, do you need to be so excited?"
