In the era, I was finally born after my mother read my mind.

Chapter 7 Relief and Help
  "If the old house doesn't have it, don't force it. Go to the captain's house and ask, and we can borrow it."

"Don't worry if you have too many debts. I owed such a huge favor to the captain's family yesterday, so I don't have to worry about owing more."

Captain Zhao Qianjin is a very responsible captain and a kind elder.

If it hadn't been for him, Ye Zhoushan's unreliable virtue would have caused trouble long ago.

After I got married, my family looked like a deserted one, and the life was not as stable as it is now.

Ye Zhoushan responded well, his face was pale and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.

Xiao Fuman had a small appetite and was full within a few minutes of eating. He licked his mouth and fell asleep in his mother's arms.

Lan Qingshuang looked anxiously. How could she grow well if she ate so little?

Ye Zhoushan was also worried and could only try his best to get some good food for his daughter-in-law. With enough milk, the daughter would be better off.

Using the temporary earthen stove outside, she made breakfast for Lan Qingshuang.

These are the eggs that Aunt Deng asked her eldest daughter-in-law to bring yesterday.

I simply packed up and got ready to go out.

Aunt Deng and several women happened to come together, all carrying things in their hands.

"Boy from the Ye family, are you going out?"

Ye Zhoushan said hurriedly: "I was just going to trouble Grandma Deng, but you guys just came."

Aunt Deng rolled her eyes at him: "What's the trouble? Take the things and put them away and cook them for your wife."

Ye Zhoushan's throat was choked, but he did not refuse.

The eggs, brown sugar, white flour, or other miscellaneous things that a few people took were all needed and urgently needed now, and they were all good things that they could not bear to eat.

Everyone knew that his family suffered a disaster yesterday, and he gave birth to a baby who was not sure whether he could feed him, so he thought he could contribute as much as he could.

Not much, just a thought.

Although people in the village have no contact with the Ye family, Ye Zhoushan seems to be an alternative to the Ye family.

He has never had the consciousness of being a member of the Ye family.

The Ye family didn't have a good reputation in the past. They increased rents for tenant farmers every year and treated the family's long-term workers harshly.

They also often occupy the land of surrounding farmers.

When he was beaten, the people around him didn't hold back at all.

The Ye family hates the people around them, and the people around them also look down on the Ye family and don't move around with each other.

Even the younger generations who were born later were taught not to interact with each other.

Only Ye Zhoushan didn't care about the cold looks from the villagers, nor did he care about the Ye family's rejection because of his interactions with the villagers. He went his own way.

As time passed, the villagers did not regard him as an outsider and got along well with him.

"Thank you, thank you Aunt Deng, thank you all, aunties and aunts, I will remember this affection."

Aunts are rough people from the countryside. They are shy about expressing their feelings. What they can't stand the most is such a sentimental scene.

"Okay, okay, you are such a kid. As long as you have the heart to do it, your wife and children are important, so don't be stupid again."

Ye Zhoushan wiped his eyes and grinned: "I know."

Aunt Deng really couldn't bear to see how stupid he was: "Your uncle, the captain of the brigade, asked you to come over. Those people yesterday had to find out where they came from, and you have to make up your mind on how to deal with it."

"We'll be watching from this side of the house, so don't worry."

Speaking of the Zhou family, Ye Zhoushan's eyes turned cold: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, I'll be back in a minute."

"Go ahead, go ahead," Aunt Deng waved her hand impatiently.

After Ye Zhoushan left, several people entered the house.

Lan Qingshuang didn't sleep. She saw several people greeting her with smiles. They were all the aunties who helped deliver the baby yesterday. Lan Qingshuang was very grateful.

"Grandma Deng, ladies and gentlemen, sit down quickly. Thank you so much for yesterday."

"Thank you for nothing. You're welcome. How is the child? Has he eaten anything?"

Lan Qingshuang opened a little corner of the quilt and showed it to the others: "The child is fine. He didn't make any fuss all night last night. He just woke up and fed the baby. He will fall asleep again now."

Several people looked at the naked baby and felt very distressed.

But it does look a lot better than yesterday, maybe it can really make a living.

"Is the milk enough?"       "It is enough for the time being, the child eats less."

"That's good," Aunt Deng opened the small bundle she was carrying: "This is the quilt used by the children at home. I saw that your family has nothing, so I brought it over and you can make do with it."

Others also picked up a small piece of clothing or a few diapers.

"They are all old things. Don't dislike them. It's not a problem for the child to be naked all the time."

Lan Qingshuang's nose felt sour: "I don't mind it, thank you all. My father and I are worried about getting these for our children. Thank you very much."

Aunt Deng was impatient: "Stop thanking me. I've heard you two say thank you in the past two days, and my ears have become calloused. Please change the child quickly, and you can be more relaxed."

Lan Qingshuang smiled helplessly, swallowed the word "thank you", and with the help of the aunts, she dressed and wrapped little Fuman in clothes.

She could also free her hands and move her body, but it was really uncomfortable to sit stiffly.

The aunts and ladies talked and were not idle.

Help clean up the ruins of the kitchen, which will have to be rebuilt later.

The bowls and jars were smashed, but fortunately the valuable large iron pot was fine.

This pot was bought by Ye Zhoushan after he spent a lot of effort shopping outside.

Many people don't have such a big iron pot, which is worth a lot of money.

Apart from these, there is nothing else in the kitchen.

The small amount of food is in the cellar, and the small amount of oil, salt, blue clear frost is also used to be kept in the room to avoid disasters such as wild cats.

His home is remote and close to the mountains. Animals often come down and he has to be on guard.

Lan Qingshuang's heart felt swollen and astringent as she listened to the busy voices of several people.

Brigade Village Committee.

Ye Zhoushan was pulled aside by Zhao Qianjin for questioning.

"Do you know who these people are and why they are here?"

Although these people are strangers, Zhao Qianjin understands that they cannot come to his door for no reason.

The reason why I kept my mouth shut was because I was afraid that they would shout something bad.

Ye Zhoushan did not hide anything from Zhao Qianjin.

And Zhao Qianjin also had some understanding of Lan Qingshuang's origins.

I heard it's my ex-husband's house, so the lawsuit will be difficult to resolve.

"What are your plans as a couple?"

Ye Zhoushan frowned: "Report to the police."

Zhao Qianjin was silent: "If you report it to the police, you won't be able to hide your wife's affairs."

"People's words are terrible. It will be hard to talk about any gossip that will spread."

"Besides, your wife is from the Zhou family. If the Zhou family wants to take her back, we won't be able to keep her."

Ye Zhoushan gritted his teeth and said with anger in his eyes: "My wife is not from the Zhou family. It is illegal for the Zhou family to buy and sell people."

"Moreover, she and Zhou Dalang didn't get a marriage certificate, and they didn't hold a banquet. They can't be considered husband and wife at all."

"She is now part of my Ye family and my Ye Zhoushan's wife. No one can take her away."

"As for rumors, I'm not afraid."

Zhao Qianjin saw that Ye Zhoushan had made up his mind, so he didn't try to persuade him: "Okay, since you have decided, I will have someone report it to the police."

"The Zhou family came to cause trouble and committed murder. They burned the house and almost killed one and two others. This must not be a good thing."

"But the Zhou family doesn't look like they have any money. You have to be prepared for compensation."

Ye Zhoushan lowered his eyes and nodded. He didn't care about compensation, he just wanted them to pay the price.

Zhao Qianjin added: "While I'm not busy these two days, I'll call a few men to help you put up the kitchen again. Don't run around. This is important."

Ye Zhoushan nodded hurriedly: "I'm at home, thank you, uncle captain."

Zhao Qianjin glared at him: "I'll thank you if you don't cause me any trouble."

Ye Zhoushan grinned and said nothing.
