"Okay," Lian Wenyu agreed obediently, and ran to the medicine field outside. She collected the herbs in the medicine field one by one, sorted them, and packed them. She was very skilled at doing this these days.

His busy schedule has not been in vain. Mr. Bai kept stroking his beard and nodding. He fell in love with his apprentice more and more. He was really a natural talent for learning medicine. It seemed that his medical skills had finally been succeeded by someone.

Even Wen Yu was busy in and out almost non-stop all afternoon. She wiped the sweat on her face and then touched her stomach. She seemed a little hungry. She then pursed her lips and thought it was better for her uncle.

I knew she would starve here, so I asked her to eat more at that time, otherwise, she would have to starve to death now.

She continued to squat on the ground, dividing the herbs, and it was already evening, and the Ye Mansion's carriage was already waiting for her outside.

By the time she returned, she was too tired to move.

Ye Huilan gently stroked her daughter's hair, "Xiao Yu'er, if it's hard, don't study, okay?"

"You have to learn," Lian Wen Yu said vaguely, no matter how tired he was, he had to learn, "otherwise your life will be in vain."

Ye Huilan was really dumbfounded. How old is this child? You already know how to live a life in vain. She tucked her daughter in, and then went to do some needlework to supplement the household income.

Yu originally slept well, but the loud noise outside disturbed her. She rubbed her eyes, and then looked around. Her mother was not there. Where had she gone? She pursed her lips, looking more and more like a child.

.

The noise outside became louder and louder, as if they were all quarreling.

She climbed up from the collapse, rubbing her eyes as she walked.

"Mother," she called Ye Huilan. She called several times but was blocked by the noise outside. As soon as she entered the hall, she saw a bunch of people arguing with Mrs. Ye.

He looked embarrassed, and Ye Huilan was even more uneasy.

"Mom," Lian Wenyu ran over. When Ye Huilan saw her daughter, she quickly stood up and hugged her still young daughter tightly.

Even Wen Yu looked at the people in front of her a little strangely. They were all dressed in ordinary clothes. She didn't know whether they were clerks or farmers.

Mrs. Ye was sitting on the side, seemingly calm and relaxed, but in fact she was already looking bad.

"I said, I will give you all your wages. You are also the old people of our Ye family. Although I am the only old woman in the Ye family, I owe you nothing, right?"

The man standing at the front took a step forward and said, "Mrs. Ye, it's not that we don't believe it. Your Ye family was indeed a big family in the past, but now those few shops are not profitable. There are two of them."

They haven’t paid us wages for months, but we still have to live and support our families.”

"Yes, yes," others echoed.

Mrs. Ye stood up and pointed around the house, "Look, our Ye family still has this big house. The monks can run away but they can't run away from the temple. How can they owe you wages? Yes, our Ye family now only has

Orphans and widowed mothers, but our Shi family still has an old woman like me. As long as I live, our Ye family will never fail." She said, slamming the table hard, "You go back first, I will pay you.

I’ll send it to everyone soon.”

Those people looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, the leader stretched out his hands and pressed down to signal everyone to be quiet. Then he spoke again, "Mrs. Ye, we believe you, just wait a few more days."

, please give us your wages as soon as possible. We are all old and young. If we didn't really have trouble opening the pot, we wouldn't be here."

"I'm sorry," he stretched out his hand and bowed, then left with the other people in the room.

Mrs. Ye sat down on the chair feebly, then she touched her body for a long time, and finally took off the jade bracelet from her wrist.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Ye Huilan finally realized what she was doing. She was really shocked when she saw the jade bracelet in Mrs. Ye's hand.

"I don't like this anymore. Let's pawn it and redeem it when you have the money." Mrs. Ye sighed, then smiled nonchalantly, and for the first time, people saw her always wise eyes.

The vicissitudes of time have given her.

"Mom, you can't sell this." Ye Huilan quickly took the jade bracelet and said she wouldn't let anyone sell it. "Mom, this was your dowry back then. It was an heirloom from my grandmother's family. How could it be sold?

What? Mrs. Ye smiled and said, "Silly boy, any heirloom is a lie to you. Where did I get so many heirlooms from my family? People also have to eat and live. Our shop is indeed not very profitable, and we can't either."

It's all thanks to those people. When your father was here, he never owed anyone any money." Ye Huilan's eyes were red. She was not a fool. People came to ask for debts. Could it be said that at home,

Has it already been done by a powerful foreigner?

"Mom, why do you give me so many things Yueyue? These things also cost money."

Mrs. Ye reached out and patted Ye Huilan on the shoulder, "No matter how difficult it is, I can't let you lose face, and I can't let people in Lian Mansion look down on you."

Ye Huilan naturally knew. She lowered her head and her eyes were extremely red. How important a good natal family is to a married daughter. She knew better than anyone else. With Lian Bohua's temperament, if

It’s not that she has so many crops and things from her mother every month, she and her daughter still don’t know how sad their life is.

No wonder she sees her mother less and less, and the clothes she makes are getting less and less year by year. Her mother always says she doesn’t like it, but that’s not the case. It’s just because their family is no longer the Ye family it used to be. Her marriage

He took away most of the family's property, and his father's death has already caused the family to fall apart.

It must be very hard for my mother to guard such a big house and have an underage brother.

"Silly child, why are you crying?" Mrs. Ye hugged Lian Wenyu from her arms, "Be careful of scaring Sister Yu. Our family is not really finished. We still have this big house and so much land."

Well, it’s just that the harvests in recent years have been bad, so I owe some money.”

"But it will be fine soon, isn't it?" She said this, but there was inevitably some worry in her old eyes.

"Mother..." Ye Hui'an stood there, almost crying. Mrs. Ye knocked Ye Hui'an on the forehead, "Hui'an, you are the only boy in this family. If you study well, our family can

I'm all counting on you." "Well," Ye Hui'an nodded vigorously. Perhaps from this day on, he really felt that he was going to grow up and take on responsibilities. My mother is old, my sister is a woman, Sister Yu

The son is young, so the Ye family really can only rely on him.

"Grandma," Lian Wenyu raised her little face, "Yu'er has money, Yu'er gives it to grandma," she said and jumped off Ye Renren's legs before Mrs. Ye could pull her up.

When she stopped her, she saw that she had run away. This child, Mrs. Ye couldn't help but smile. The depressing feeling of being asked for debt just now was also swept away. Not long after, she saw Lian Wen Yu staggering over and running.

There was sweat on her head. She ran to Mrs. Ye, then stretched out her little hand. In her hand was a small cloth bag. She bit her lower lip, then stood up on her toes and poured out the contents of the cloth bag.

They are all filled with scraps of silver, copper plates and the like. They are worth a lot if you count them.

"Grandma, this is Yu'er's money, for grandma."

Mrs. Ye never thought that Lian Wen Yu would do this. This child is too distressing.

She quickly picked up Lian Wen Yu, truly loving her sensible granddaughter, "Grandma's little Yu'er is so sensible," after she finished speaking, her voice changed slightly. Ye Huilan turned her face away and kept wiping her face.

Tears, these are what she usually gives to her daughter. It turns out that she has saved them all. Yu'er usually treasures her own money, but now she is sensible enough to take it out.
