Chapter 442: Hoping for a Mother to Become a Phoenix in Ancient Farming Literature 6
[Your Highness, I got the silver. I also brought the Ye family's original savings.]
Chang'an saw the extra silver ingots and broken silver in the space, some of which were earned by the original owner.
She picked up a small stone from the ground and hit the old woman on the temple. The old woman fell down with her eyes rolled up, holding the broom.
Ye Zhou, whose face was bruised and swollen from the beating, was so frightened that she fell to the ground.
She was fine even after being beaten, so how come the person who beat her fell to the ground?
Ye Zhou crawled over tremblingly, stretched out her index finger to feel the old woman's breath, and found that she was still breathing. She breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the ground.
When she saw Chang'an standing aside and not caring about the matter, she felt very uncomfortable and said, "Chang'an, come here and help me take your milk back to the room."
Chang'an ignored her, turned around and walked out of the old Ye's yard and went to Ye Jing's house. She didn't want to stay in the old Ye's house. She got angry just looking at those people.
Beat up the people from the Ye family once, and beat the rest later. There are more important things to do now.
Chang'an even suspected that Ye Zhoushi had some other purpose in insisting on registering her.
If she didn't have a household registration, her next things would be much easier. Fortunately, 996 also stole the Ye family's household registration.
Ye Jing's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were having dinner. When they heard the sound of the yard door opening, they both put down their bowls and chopsticks and came out to see who it was.
Few people came to their house because they looked down on the two widows for their bad luck. Chang'an would never go through the front gate before, but would go around to the backyard and wait.
It was Ye Jingshi who instructed this, because she was afraid that the old Ye family would find out that Changan was in contact with them and would make trouble for no reason.
They saw Chang'an standing in the yard, holding a cloth bag and a small package in his hands.
Ye Jingshi hurried forward, picked her up and carried her back to the main hall, and asked worriedly, "Chang'an, what's wrong? Did Ye Laoer's family kick you out?"
What's going on? Besides being worried, I also feel a little happy.
Is she going to have a daughter soon?
Changan handed over the five kilograms of rice in his hand and said softly: "Aunt, here, I brought it from Old Ye's family. It would be a waste if you don't eat it. We can't let those scum get away with it."
The rice was taken from her space, and she just gave it a source.
Ye Jing took it, opened the cloth bag and took a look. Inside was white and very pleasing rice with a particularly strong rice aroma.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other in surprise. Ye Jing tied up the bag.
She said seriously: "Chang'an, no matter what that family does, this bag of rice is not given to you by them, so we cannot take it. It is a bad habit to take things without their consent."
Ye Min also advised, "Yes, Chang'an, we can't take other people's things for free. You can take the rice back later."
Chang'an:...
She scratched her head, how could this happen?
If she didn't bring her sixth father with her and went out alone, she might meet someone with positive values, right?
If she had known earlier, she would not have taken out the rice. She thought that the world was difficult and it was very difficult for Ye Min and her daughter-in-law to live on their own. They could not even get enough to eat, and they had to save food for the original owner.
Chang'an wanted to give them some rice to repay them, but it seems he was too anxious.
"Grandma, aunt, just accept it with peace of mind. This rice originally belonged to me. I picked up pheasants and rabbits in the mountains before, and Ye Heilu exchanged them for silver to buy rice."
Ever since the original owner learned how to use a slingshot, she would be able to catch a pheasant or a hare every now and then.
The people of Old Ye's family were reluctant to eat it, so they took it all to the town to exchange for money. The black noodles and moldy rice that Old Ye's family eats now were also exchanged for the pheasants and rabbits that the owner had hunted.
He eats the food she earned and still calls her a money-loser. He is really like eating with the bowl in his hand and cursing her when he puts the bowl down.
Ye Jingshi and Ye Minshi also knew about this, but they didn't expect that the game was exchanged for food. They thought that it all went into the stomachs of the gluttons in Ye Heilu's family.
Since Changan earned it himself, what couldn't Changan eat or take? They persuaded themselves again and again in their hearts.
"This is Chang'an's earnings, not Ye Heilu's. They accepted it and saved it for Chang'an. When she's hungry, they'll cook it for her. Anyway, Chang'an won't be able to eat it if it's at Ye Heilu's house."
What Chang'an earns herself should be used for her own consumption, and should not be given to Ye Heilu's livestock for free.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law persuaded themselves and accepted the bag of rice that Chang'an brought.
Ye Jing carried the rice into the kitchen, and used the rice Chang'an brought to make a bowl of dry rice for Chang'an. Then she went to the chicken coop, took out an egg and made egg drop soup.
When the rice was served, Changan divided the small bowl of rice into three small portions and each person had a few bites.
"Chang'an, this is steamed for you. You are too thin and need some nourishment, otherwise you won't grow taller."
Ye Jing wanted to put the rice that was allocated to her bowl back into Chang'an's bowl. The five-year-old child was only the height of a three-year-old. She must have been starved at Ye Heilu's house. If she didn't make up for it, she would probably be much shorter than her peers in the future.
This kid is also a fool. He can hunt pheasants and rabbits in the mountains, roast them and eat them by himself, and then take the leftovers home when he is full. Isn’t that right?
The original owner had also sent a pheasant to Ye Jingshi, but Ye Jingshi confiscated it, thinking that she could take it back so that she could eat more bites. Unexpectedly, she didn't eat a single bite.
The original owner brought pheasants and rabbits home in order to prevent Ye Zhou from being beaten less. The Ye family would be in a good mood when they saw the game and would not take it out on Ye Zhou for no reason.
"Grandma, auntie, please eat quickly. I have something to say after you finish eating."
Chang'an finished the few mouthfuls of rice in the bowl in just a few bites, and his stomach felt empty, as if he had not eaten anything.
Ye Min held Ye Jing's hand and shook her head at her. Neither the mother-in-law nor the daughter-in-law refused.
They should just accept the child's kindness and treat her better in the future. If they keep refusing her, it will hurt the child's feelings.
After dinner, it was completely dark. In order to save oil lamps, every household in the village went to bed when it got dark.
So why did people in ancient times have so many children in every household?
Anyone who understands understands.
In the old Ye family, only Ye Zhou knew that Chang'an had gone out and had not returned yet. She had never thought of looking for him. She was dragging her injured body, cooking and boiling water, and diligently serving the whole family.
At Ye Jing's home, she and her mother-in-law looked at Chang'an with surprise and joy, and also some trepidation.
"Chang'an, do you really want me to be your mother?" Ye Jing asked cautiously.
Changan nodded affirmatively, the little fat on his face trembling.
"real".
Ye Min reacted and felt that it was useless even if they agreed alone, "Chang'an, you are registered in Ye Heilu's family. Even if we want to adopt you, your parents will definitely not agree."
"It's okay, we don't need their consent. I've taken out Ye Heilu's household registration, and we'll go to the government office to change it tomorrow."
Changan didn't want to waste time with the Ye family. It was really annoying to live among the best of them. What was the point of slapping their faces or not?
Wouldn't it be better to kill or cripple them all at once?
Why should I put myself in a difficult position and pretend to be nice to them?
But let’s settle the household registration issue first. Changing a mother is more important than beating up the Ye family.
If you throw a few amnesia spells at them, how would they remember that there is a person named Chang'an in their family?
"Grandma, aunt, it's settled. We will go to the yamen tomorrow."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were a little dazed and said, "Oh, okay."
You can give it a try. What if it works? You can get a grown-up girl for free and make a fortune.
