Ye Qingqing was happily working on the great achievement of Pan Kang in his mind, when a weak shout suddenly came from the edge of the ground next to him.
Ye Qingqing turned around and saw a child about five or six years old, huddled on the ground with a wrinkled little face in pain.
If he hadn't made a sound, Ye Qingqing wouldn't have been able to see him as the grass on the ridge was so high.
"Kid, what's wrong with you?" After getting a few books for free and selling them for 120 copper coins, Ye Qingqing was in a good mood and squatted on the edge of the ground to ask.
The child had a sad face and said, "I have a stomachache. Are you the granddaughter of Ye Shoude's family?"
Ye Qingqing:......
Oops!
Do even children know this?
Before Ye Qingqing could speak, the child said again: "I am also from Yuyu Village. Everyone in our village knows that Ye Shoude's family has a granddaughter from Kyoto. You are so thin and tender, why go to Yuyu Village?"
Let me take a guess, look at my sister's expression, am I right?"
Ye Qingqing even laughed.
Whose kid is this? He talks like an adult and has tender skin and tender flesh. Your vocabulary is okay.
"I have a stomachache and can't walk. Sister, please carry me back. I won't let you carry me for nothing. I will tell you about Ye Shoude's family. I am not a bad person. I am the youngest son of Cheng Laosi's family. My name is Cheng Yan.
, My brother, you must have heard that my brother is the only hunter in our village, Cheng Mo."
Ye Qingqing:......
Isn't this a coincidence?
"Is your brother not at home today?" Ye Qingqing felt the answer in his mind, so he still tested it.
"My brother is very good. He hunted a deer in the mountains a few days ago and took it to the town to sell it this morning. Sister, I have a stomachache. Please carry me. My family will not blackmail anyone. Don't worry."
Cheng Mo took Ye Qingqing with him in the morning. Although it was not a great kindness, Ye Qingqing was grateful. Besides, Ye Qingqing couldn't bear to see this little kid in pain here on the ridge.
He picked the person up and carried him on his back.
I thought it was quite heavy, but it turned out that the little boy was so skinny that he had almost no weight.
"How old are you? Why are you so thin? Your brother won't give you meat when hunting?" Ye Qingqing carried him back and chatted.
The child was lying on her back, and when she spoke, hot air penetrated her neck.
"I am five years old. My brother said that I am thin because I am tall. I will be as tall as my brother in the future. However, my family does not eat much meat. My father is sick and has to take medicine. My brother said that I have to support my education.
, I will be sent to school next year. Money has to be spent wisely. Sister, you are so good-looking."
Ye Qingqing slapped his butt with a backhand, "I don't need to flatter you to carry you on my back."
The child giggled, "Sister, isn't Ye Shoude's family treating you badly?"
Today in the bookstore, the second master saw through it, and now this kid saw through it. Ye Qingqing smiled and asked, "How do you know?"
"Of course I know that Ye Shoude's second brother also lived in our village before, and the relationship between the two families was very good. Later, Ye Hui found a job as a bookkeeper in a restaurant in the town, and Ye Shoude was afraid that his second brother's family would get involved with them.
The family is so cheap that they just drive people away."
Ye Qingqing was surprised when he heard this.
It's not surprising that Ye Shoude could do such an immoral thing, after all, their family was very immoral last night.
"How do you know?" She was surprised that such a young child knew.
"Because his second brother's family used to live next door to my house. Ye Shoude was looking for trouble every day. Grandma Zhou was scolding people every day. Li Boniang was also scolding him, saying that his second brother was a loser who killed his parents and so on.
"Later, he also said that he wanted to marry the daughter of his second brother's family to the sick nephew of Uncle Li's natal family.
"The women in his second brother's family were all stupid and didn't know how to scold, so they moved away because they couldn't bear it."
Ye Qingqing grasped the key point, "The sick nephew of the Li family?"
Ye Qingqing remembered that the reason why Ye Hui turned around and came back to help her father last night was because the old man said "he has not left the cabinet".
Ye Qingqing is not a fool.
You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must have the intention to guard against others.
"Yes, Li Boniang's natal family is in the next village. Her natal family has a nephew who is sick and overworked. He is over 20 years old and still has no wife. Their family forced the granddaughter of Ye Shoude's second brother's family to marry him."
Ye Qingqing was thinking about this in her mind, chatting with the children, and returned to Yuyu Village unknowingly.
After sending the child to the door of his house, Ye Qingqing returned to Ye's house.
As soon as he entered the door, he almost had a basin of water poured in front of him, which made him feel cold. Fortunately, Ye Qingqing dodged quickly, otherwise the cotton-padded clothes would have been ruined. "Why are you pouring water on me?"
Ms. Zhou stood in the courtyard with an angry look on her face, "Your father is lying half-dead on the kang and not moving. Where have you been dead all morning!"
Ye Qingqing shook the book in his hand, "Go to town to buy books for my dad. My dad wants to study."
As soon as Zhou heard this and looked at the book in Ye Qingqing's hand, he burst into tears and rushed towards Ye Qingqing with howling and crying.
"You bitch, your family is so poor that you can't take the blame. What kind of book did your father study? If you don't spend money on the family, you will be a prodigal! I beat you to death for being a prodigal, and you still think you are a rich lady. You look down on me, a banker.
Grandma, you shouldn’t waste money like this!”
Zhou picked up a stick from the ground and hit Ye Qingqing.
Ye Qingqing jumped nimbly and dodged.
"What you said, my uncle's son is not wasting money by studying, but my father is wasting money by studying? They are all raised by their mothers, and my father is born inferior to others?
"Why is my dad lying half-dead on the kang? Isn't it because of what happened last night? My dad vomited blood and no one cared about it?
"Yesterday when we came back, Nai gave us gray flour steamed buns and pickle leaves. I want to see if Nai's family is really poor and only eats this. For a long time, don't let me know that you are eating well!
"
Ye Qingqing shouted mercilessly in a loud voice. While shouting, he ran into the house, ran into the house and locked the door with a bang.
Angry, Mrs. Zhou rushed to the door and slammed the door, "You little bitch, open the door! I am your grandma. I don't know how to be filial to my elders, but I will talk back. No wonder I was kicked out of the Hou's Mansion! I don't know that something shameful was done in the Hou's Mansion.
What a sin, open the door, open the door, open the door!"
Ye Chengyang was looking out the window to see what was going on outside. When he saw Ye Qingqing coming back, he immediately said, "Daughter, your eldest uncle has returned to her natal family today. I heard them talking in the yard, and it seems that they want to marry you to her natal nephew!"
Ye Qingqing cursed, "It's really not a good thing."
After saying that, he slapped the book on the kang and said, "Dad, you must copy two Analects before dark today. I will take them to ask about copying the books tomorrow."
Ye Chengyang's expression froze, he let out a howl, fell down on the kang, and asked desperately: "Do I really want to copy the book?"
Ye Qingqing took out two meat buns from his arms, "Can you copy them?"
Ye Chengyang burst into tears before he finished howling, and suddenly turned into laughter, "Of course, I love copying books. Girl, what are you talking about?"
boom!
Before he finished speaking, the door was kicked hard, causing the whole room to tremble.
