Chapter 2 Tea Serving
Ye Ximing has a tall figure, but is very thin and thin. The bright red wedding dress is empty on him. Due to illness, his eye sockets are sunken and his lips are blue. At first glance, it is a bit scary, but if you look closely, you can see that his facial features are good-looking. , if he was not sick, he should be a very handsome young man.

Feeling Zhou Ran's eyes falling directly on his face, Ye Ximing's face became very unnatural, and even his voice was a bit stiff.

"Did I scare you?"

Ye Ximing knew what he was like now. Without waiting for Zhou Ran to answer, he said softly: "Don't worry, I only agreed to marry you because I couldn't defeat my parents. I won't touch you."

"I just want to make you stay in the Ye family for a while. Anyway, I won't live long. Before I die, I will give you a letter of divorce and let you leave the Ye family."

Ye Ximing had long discussed with his parents to cancel the Zhou family's marriage, but his parents always felt that he would be fine, so they had to postpone the divorce for now.

A month ago, his health became worse and worse, and the Zhou family proposed a replacement at this juncture. It was obvious that he was unwilling to let the eldest daughter of the Zhou family marry a dying man like him, so he replaced him with the second girl.

He thought that his parents would agree to his proposal to break off the engagement this time, but what he didn't expect was that his mother was so ill that she went to the doctor and actually believed what the old lady of the Zhou family said. On Tuesday, the girl's horoscope would be more prosperous for him, and she might be able to keep him alive. If he continued to talk nonsense, he would not agree to break off the engagement no matter what, and he also agreed to the Ye family's proposal to change the name on the marriage certificate from Zhou Ying to Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran didn't expect Ye Ximing to say such a thing, although she did marry with a peaceful attitude.

After a moment of silence, listening to Ye Ximing's cough, she stood up and poured a glass of water from the table and handed it to him, "You'd better drink some water first."

The coughing sound made her feel so uncomfortable.

"Thank you." Ye Ximing thanked him, took two sips from the water glass, and suppressed the cough in his throat.

At this time, there were two knocks on the door.

After Ye Ximing called out, the door was pushed open, and a frail little girl pushed open the door and walked in, holding a bowl of steaming noodles in her hand.

Ye Ximing introduced the visitor to Zhou Ran: "This is my little sister."

Zhou Ran greeted Ye Xiaomei, and Ye Xiaomei smiled shyly at Zhou Ran, put down the bowl and went out.

Ye Ximing explained: "My mother probably asked my little sister to bring it. If you are hungry, eat first."

Zhou Ran had indeed been hungry for a long time, so she didn't show any politeness. She sat at the table and started eating. The noodles were smooth and chewy, and the soup should have been chicken soup, which was rich in flavor.

Zhou Ran ate so much that she didn't remember until she was halfway through the meal. She raised her head and asked Ye Ximing, "Do you want to eat?"

Ye Ximing shook his head: "I'm not hungry."

Zhou Ran nodded, said no more, and continued eating noodles.

After eating the noodles, Zhou Ran had the energy to look at the house in front of her.

The house is not small and has everything a newlywed couple should have in their room.

After looking around, Zhou Ran's eyes stopped on the big bed where she had just sat. The bed was covered with a bright red quilt, and peanuts, longans, red dates, and lotus seeds were sprinkled on it according to custom.

Seeing Zhou Ran staring at the bed, Ye Ximing stood up and took out an old quilt from the cabinet, "You sleep on the bed, I'll just make the floor."

Zhou Ran looked at Ye Ximing and hesitated for a moment, then said: "The bed is quite big, it should be able to sleep two people."

Although it is already May, it is still quite cold morning and night. With a body like Ye Ximing sleeping on the ground all night, will he still be alive tomorrow? She didn't want to make a bed on the floor, so she might as well sleep on the bed together.

Ye Ximing also knew that his body could not withstand the torture. Since Zhou Ran didn't mind, he didn't insist anymore.

Too many things happened in today's day. Zhou Ran was already exhausted. She took a quick shower and fell asleep soon after lying on the bed.

But Ye Ximing couldn't sleep with so many people around him, and he was afraid that his cough would disturb the people around him, so he could only suppress his coughing. When he couldn't suppress it anymore, he coughed twice.

Zhou Ran slept deeply. When she opened her eyes, Zhou Ran was stunned for a while before she realized where this place was. She rubbed her face and opened the system to take a look.

Sure enough, the health value changed from 30 to 29.

Putting away the system panel, Zhou Ran got up and found a pair of old but unpatched clothes from the box and changed them in twos and twos. After quickly washing up, she opened the door and walked straight towards the Ye family's main room.

In the main room, the faces of the Ye family were not very good-looking.

Seeing Zhou Ran go in, the whole family looked at Zhou Ran, among which Ye Erlang's eyes were the most angry.

Zhou Ran paused slightly and looked at Ye Ximing.

Ye Ximing sat on the chair with a pale face, lowered his eyes, pursed his lips and didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't receive Zhou Ran's questioning look.

Fortunately, at this moment, Ye’s mother Zhang, who was sitting on the main seat with a cold face, spoke up, “I heard that you would rather commit suicide by jumping into the river to avoid marrying our Sanlang?”

It turned out that it was because of this. Zhou Ran smiled and said to Mrs. Ye: "Mom, it's okay. I did fall into the water yesterday. I just lost my footing and fell into the water. I climbed up again later. There were many people in our village at that time. You’ve all seen it, you’ll find out if you ask around a little bit.”

After hearing Zhou Ran's explanation, Mrs. Zhang's face looked a little better, but her tone was still cold, "There is no best. As long as you can take good care of Sanlang and live a good life with Sanlang in the future, our Ye family will never treat you badly, but if you If you really dare to cause trouble, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

"Well, mother, I understand."

Mrs. Zhang was planning to hit Zhou Ran a few more times, but Ye Ximing on the side coughed and said, "Mom, let's serve tea first. Don't you want to go to Uncle Xu's place later?"

Mrs. Zhang glanced at Ye Ximing and let Zhou Ran go for the time being, "Okay, let's serve tea first."

After Zhang finished speaking, Ye Dalang's daughter-in-law Chen served the prepared hot tea.

Zhou Ran picked up a cup of hot tea and greeted Father Ye first.

Father Ye was a hunter, tall but taciturn. He didn't say anything after taking Zhou Ran's tea, and handed Zhou Ran a purse that had been prepared long ago.

After that came Mrs. Zhang, who also gave Zhou Ran a purse.

Ye Erlang's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li, looked at the purse in Zhou Ran's hand, nudged Ye Erlang beside her with her elbow, and whispered: "Why did your parents give her something back?"

Ye Erlang still didn't have a good impression of Zhou Ran, but he didn't want his wife to stir up trouble. He glanced at his wife and said, "Didn't your parents prepare something for you when you served tea?"

"How can it be the same?" Mrs. Li muttered to herself. She didn't make a fuss about not wanting to get married, and her family didn't accept thirty taels of silver as a betrothal gift. In the end, someone else got married.
