Chapter 43
"Oh, mom, look, how many things are here!"

"That's right, the Zhao family is indeed rich, and this daughter of the Ye family is well married!"

Hearing these envious words, the hearts of the people in the Ye family's old house were elated, and the corners of their mouths reached to their ears. Ye Ziqiu smiled faintly. These things are certainly good, and it is true that they will live a good life after they get married.

Ye Ziqiu saw that it was almost done, so she pulled Zhang Shi aside, "Mother, I'm going back first."

Mrs. Zhang nodded.

Ye Ziqiu hurriedly took advantage of the crowds in the yard at this moment, and walked out quickly, and the crowd was crowded, Ye Ziqiu asked for someone to borrow while walking, but there was a figure standing in front of him and did not leave.

Ye Ziqiu raised his head, met his eyes, frowned a little annoyed, this person was none other than Zhao Junsheng.

Zhao Junsheng already knew that Ye Ziqiu's sister was the one who was betrothed, so he was not surprised to see her. He twitched his lips, "Miss Ye, what a coincidence."

What a coincidence.

Ye Ziqiu was expressionless, "Excuse me, I want to go out."

At this moment everyone's attention was attracted by the dowry gift, because of the crowd, Zhao Junsheng stretched out his hand and grabbed her hand, Ye Ziqiu pulled back like an electric shock, glared at him angrily, and gritted his teeth.

"Junsheng!" Auntie's voice came, Ye Ziqiu glared at him, "Your mother-in-law is calling you."

A trace of impatience flashed in Zhao Junsheng's eyes very quickly, he could only go forward, Ye Ziqiu came out from the yard, and let out a heavy breath.

Quickly leaving this wrong place, Ye Ziqiu walked home, but before he got home, he saw a familiar figure.

Ye Ziqiu stood on the spot, unable to move for a while.

It was Qi Tianci who found her and looked over, the two of them met their eyes, Ye Ziqiu hurriedly lowered his head.

"Brother Qi."

Qi Tianci responded calmly, as coldly as usual.

Ye Ziqiu nodded and walked a few steps, then stopped and turned his head, "Brother Qi, how is your leg?"

"much better."

Qi Tianci didn't say any more, Ye Ziqiu didn't ask any more questions, and strode back home.

When she got home, Ye Ziqiu's heart beat uncontrollably. For some reason, every time she saw him, her mood fluctuated. This feeling was a little scary, but also a little joyful. Ye Ziqiu couldn't handle it either. I know exactly what it feels like to be aligned with Tianci.

But it doesn't matter any feelings, because the two of them have no future.

fair enough.

It's noon, Ye Ziqiu is cooking with firewood, and today the Ye family's old house has a feast, but she won't go, and she doesn't know if her parents will stay for dinner, Ye Ziqiu thought about it and brought out their share, just in case I'm back, but if I don't come back, it's a big deal to leave it, and I'll eat it after the next meal.

After the rice was steamed, two side dishes were fried, Ye Ziqiu picked out some to eat by himself, and left the rest in the pot.

Sure enough, as she expected, the Ye family and his party came back not long after.

"Why didn't you eat there?"

Mrs. Zhang's face was not very good-looking when she heard the words, "Why are you eating there? It's not like our family has nothing to eat."

Seeing her like this, I thought she was angry again, but no one said anything, Ye Ziqiu went to the kitchen to bring all the food, and the family began to eat.

After dinner, Mrs. Zhang didn't go to the backyard again. They didn't go to eat, so naturally they wouldn't help, but the aunt came over again.Outside the gate, he called out to Mrs. Zhang, "Siblings, sisters!"

What can happen at this time?Anyway, it's definitely not a good thing to get in touch with the Ye family's old house, Ye Ziqiu asked Zhang to hide on the kang, and greeted her out.

"Uncle, do you have something to do with my mother?"

Seeing that the person who came out was Ye Ziqiu, Song said, "Where's your mother? Ask her to help, there are so many dishes in the yard that haven't been washed!"

Ye Ziqiu thought in his heart that it was true, but his face showed embarrassment, "Auntie, I'm so sorry, my mother was ill just now, and she didn't even have a bite to eat, so I can't help you."

Ill at this time? Song obviously didn't believe it, but she couldn't just say that Zhang was pretending to be sick. Instead, she looked at Ye Ziqiu, "Then Qiu'er, you can go and help."

"I can't do it either. I have to take care of my mother. There are quite a few people who want to help. Let them do it for you!"

After Ye Ziqiu finished speaking, she immediately turned around and entered the room, making the people behind her extremely angry.

She came here thinking that Mrs. Zhang would go to help even if she hadn't eaten, so she couldn't help but feel embarrassed, but now she was dismissed without even looking at anyone, so how can she not be angry.

"If you want to hide from the sky, pretend to be sick if you ask me to do some work!"

Mrs. Song left muttering.

After entering the room, Ye Ziqiu laughed, "Such a person has to reject him directly, if he cares about face, he will die!"

Mrs. Zhang also got up and nodded, "That's right, I don't feel too tired to panic just thinking about plotting against others all day."

It's all right this time, the mothers are busy with their own work, there has been no time recently, and the handkerchiefs haven't been embroidered a few, Ye Ziqiu is a little anxious.

Soon, the day of corvée came. People came to the village early in the morning. This time the corvee was foreign corvee, and the demand was a lot of money. Most people couldn't afford it, so they had to go to the corvée.

Early in the morning, the whole village was full of cries. The Ye family and Ye Zhengliang also packed up their small bags and wanted to leave, but they were stopped by Mrs. Zhang, "I told you to pay for it, why are you so stubborn!"

This corvee service is a tiring job, and some people die accidentally. If it is in the county every year, it will be fine. This time, it is going to another place, so Zhang can't worry about it.

"I won't let you go, Ye Zhengliang, did you hear that?"

Ye Zhengliang was a bit helpless with his wife, but he still said: "Yun Niang, don't worry, I will be fine, ten taels of silver, I can only save this for a year, it's just doing some work, it's nothing. Keep this money for family use, I am strong, so it doesn't matter!"

Ye Zhengliang coaxed Mrs. Zhang, but Mrs. Zhang just refused to listen and refused to let go.

At this time, the Qi family is also engaged in a contest.

Qi Tianci packed up his things early and waited to gather at the entrance of the village. How could Mrs. Liu give in? She gave up her face and went to the Ye family to get money, but she refused to let her son go to work hard. It's not going to get better if you add more injuries.

Mrs. Liu cried and snatched all the heaven-sent baggage, "No, you can't go, Qian Niang is ready, I won't let you go."

Qi Tianci only found out about the money today, and was a little surprised, but immediately thought of where the money came from, and his expression sank.

But Mrs. Liu is his mother, so what can he say, he just said: "In this case, the mother will save the money and save it for the second brother to see a doctor. The second brother's illness burns money, and if he has some money, he will make up for it. Make up. Don't worry about me, I'm fine."

Qi Tianci grabbed the burden directly, ignored Liu's crying and shouting, and went straight to the entrance of the village.

As for the Ye family, Ye Zhengliang also made up his mind, saying that he would go to this corvée no matter what he said, no matter how much Ren Zhang stopped him, he just refused, "Yunniang, my daughter is growing up, and I will keep the money for the child as a dowry. I'll be back in a few months, don't worry."

In the end, Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to wipe away her tears and agree, knowing that he had to go.

Now that the matter was a foregone conclusion, the mother and daughter of the Zhang family could only lightly make a fire with the noodles before they left, and get more dry food for Ye Zhengliang.
