Ye Gaoshui was unwilling to admit it, but he could only nod.
Old man Ye lost his temper for the first time and kicked Ye Gaoshui, "Damn it, since the person was not seen this morning, what have you two been doing all day? Why didn't you search for him sooner? Is joining the army something trivial? Since ancient times, how many who go to war return unscathed? Moreover, how old is he?"
An inexperienced young lad, yet he's gone to enlist!
Who knows, so many families are trying to avoid it!
Ye Gaoshui was red in the face and ears from the scolding, yet he had nothing to say. Check latest chapters at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
It was his oversight, he hadn't even noticed when the boy had decided to enlist.
If he had noticed earlier and persuaded him sooner, their family life wasn't unbearable, why would he... why would he leave secretly?
Ye Gaoshui had already lost his composure, "Now, what can be done?"
"What to do, hurry up and chase after him!" Old man Ye said in a panic.
Indeed, they didn't know if he could still be caught.
Seeing Ye Gaoshui's stunned look, old man Ye grew angry, "What are you dawdling for, hurry up and chase after him, by horse, quickly!"
"Oh, I... I'm going now." Ye Gaoshui hurriedly ran outside.
"A horse is always faster than a person, hoping we can still catch up." Old man Ye held onto a hopeful thought.
Mrs. Zhao weakly said, "Wenyu also left on horseback."
Old man Ye frowned and asked, "Where did he get a horse?"
Learning martial arts was not a secret in the Ye family, after all, it cost nothing, and the kids were willing to learn.
However, even though the family had money, the children's allowances were not much. So where did the horse come from?
When old man Ye asked this, Mrs. Zhao suddenly felt justified, "That horse was given by his aunt, I didn't know about it, whether his aunt knows about Wenyu leaving the house."
Although posed as a question, the accusation in Mrs. Zhao's tone was quite apparent.
Mrs. He picked up a shoe from the ground and threw it at Mrs. Zhao, "Shut your mouth, so it's Xiaojiu's fault for giving something now, right? The child leaves and doesn't even notify you, his parents. Instead of blaming this and that here, it would be better to find the reasons within yourselves."
Mrs. Zhao did not expect Mrs. He to suddenly act, being solidly hit, yet despite her dissatisfaction, she dared not retort to Mrs. He's words.
Now the family had money, but compared to before, Mrs. He had become even more someone not to offend.
In the past, offending her might only mean eating less at a meal, but now, they all depended on Xiaojiu for food, and Xiaojiu had always been in complete agreement with Mrs. He.
Old man Ye had no mind to meddle with these mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issues, simply walked out of the yard with his hands behind his back, planning to find Xiaojiu first to inquire about the situation.
He believed, if saying Wenyu might have been impulsive this one time, Xiaojiu was always sensible and definitely would not follow in folly.
Xiaojiu was not aware of the situation yet, and was surprised to see old man Ye arrive, asking, "Dad, why have you come?"
Usually, although close by, it was mostly Xiaojiu who visited, with old man Ye rarely coming to this particular courtyard.
With little time, old man Ye asked directly, "Xiaojiu, Wenyu has enlisted in the army, do you know about this?"
"Enlisted? When did this happen, he's still so young, not fully grown yet, what army is he joining?" Xiaojiu grew increasingly concerned, "Where is Wenyu, I'll go talk to him."
"He's already left, hasn't been seen since this morning, just left a letter saying he's gone to enlist. Your second sister-in-law said the horse Wenyu rode was given by you, so I came to ask if you knew about this!"
