“I’ve discussed it with your father. You still have a younger brother, so we definitely can’t go. Anyway, Ye Hao is an official now. He doesn’t lack food or clothes, and no one will bully him. Your father and I can rest assured.”
“Your big brother said that he will visit the county magistrate and the other merchants in the county in two days to prevent anyone from bullying me in the future.” Old Madam Ye was very smug when she said this.
Ye Muyu did not expect Ye Hao to have such a trick up his sleeve. However, this was very common in Great Chu. With Ye Hao’s identity, although every family had a complicated background, they would not deliberately find trouble with them.
In addition, Old Madam Ye and her husband were just ordinary country bumpkins and usually had no conflicts of interest with others. With Ye Hao’s words, there would be fewer incidents like encountering bullies.
The benefits of having someone to look after them were obvious.
“With Big Brother’s power, I can rest assured.” Ye Muyu nodded.
Old Madam Ye said happily, “I even called you big brother to protect you. All these years, it’s all thanks to you to fill in the gaps. Don’t worry, you won’t lose out with me here.”
Old Madam Ye patted her chest and looked as if she would protect Ye
“Recently, we have earned a lot of silver from selling pickled cabbages.” Old Madam Ye coughed lightly and explained in a low voice, “Besides, when your elder brother went missing, I had to save some money for the children at home. Now that your elder brother is back, I naturally don’t have to consider the children that much. I’m much more relaxed now. I’m naturally willing to spend some money.”
Ye Muyu had a gentle smile on her face. It was already very hard for Old Madam Ye to raise the children in the family all these years. It was also very hard for her to raise grandchildren.
It was just that she was usually talkative and had a strong personality, so her reputation in the village was not very good.
However, no matter how many flaws she had, she was sincere to her family because the Ye family often tolerated her personality and protected her.
“Your big brother and sister-in-law know about this.” Old Madam Ye seemed to have thought of something. She was full of confidence. She even forcefully asked Madam Han, “Eldest daughter-in-law, don’t you think we should protect Yu’er?”
“Mother, I will listen to you.” Madam Han was like a light little butterfly, flying wherever there was work. It was obvious that since there was a pillar of support in the family, she would rely on him wholeheartedly, and she did not have to worry about anything.
It was completely different from her pessimistic personality.
Ye Muyu thought to herself that Madam Han was really like a silk flower. With someone to rely on, she did not worry about anything. It was as if all the troubles were gone.
At least, it was much better than her usual sad face. Ye Muyu deeply realized the importance of Ye Hao to the Ye family.
“Yu’er, look, if there’s anything you need mother’s help with, just ask mother for help.” Old Madam Ye’s face was full of wrinkles, and her voice was filled with joy.
“Thank you, Mother.” Ye Muyu did not refuse.
“Mother, have you considered buying more land?” As Ye Muyu was talking, Ye Zhao came in with a plate and went straight to the stove. After putting the plate down, he teased, “Sister, brother-in-law is so good to you. He peeled peanuts and eggs for you. Here they are. Brother-in-law also said that you don’t like egg yolk. Sister, is that true?”
Hearing the teasing in Ye Zhao’s voice, Ye Muyu thought of Chu Heng doing such an intimate thing in front of the whole family. Her ears turned red. “Yes, that’s true..”
