Ma Shi saw the pleading look in his son's eyes, he was distressed, and his eyes turned to the side again, and Ye Fang, who had been pretending to be deaf and dumb since just now.

tried to find a breakthrough from him: "Father, Da Lang, this child is also grown up by you, he really wants to study, he doesn't work hard, he is.... It's just that he is not as smart as the fourth brother. ”

"If you let him study for a few more years, he will definitely be able to give you a show before he comes back! When that time comes, our Ye family will show off their talents, and you will have a light on your face when you go out! ”

Hearing this, Ye Fang finally raised his eyelids, his gaze swept over the Ma family and the eldest grandson, he was silent for a few breaths, and sighed: "Your mother is not wrong,"

"Since Da Lang is not a piece of material for studying, it is also a good thing to find a way out early, eldest daughter-in-law, it has not been easy for the family all these years!"

"Da Lang and the fourth child are also getting older, and they can find a daughter-in-law, your mother is old, and you have to bother with Zhang Luo's matter, marrying a relative, and marrying a girl in the moon."

"What doesn't need money? Just this little bit of silver in the family, it is estimated that it is not enough, the family used to provide the eldest person, and it is almost consumed, and there is really no silver for the big man anymore! ”

Zhao on the other side didn't wait for Ma to say anything more, and said impatiently: "Why are you talking to her so much?" Is Da Lang still taking the Xiucai exam? ”

"I think he's just dreaming! If Xiucai is really so good in the exam, how can the boss take so many years to pass the exam? ”

"Okay, hurry up and go back to your house, oops, my chest is starting to feel stuffy again!"

Ye Fang waved his hand at the few people at the table when he heard this: "Your mother is tired, don't pestle here, go out!" ”

Ma was unwilling, but he also knew that if he continued to talk about it at this time, it would only make his mother and father more angry, so he hurriedly cleaned up the dishes and went back to the house.

In the house, Ye Hanyue was sitting on the kang, holding a piece of red cloth, embroidering something decently, while Ye Wenhao next to him was sulking with his head down.

When he saw his mother, he immediately came over to her and said, "Mother, my son wants to study, you can help your son find a way!" ”

Ma Shi listened to this familiar statement, and his heart began to feel difficult: "Da Lang, it's not that my mother doesn't want to do anything, but the money in the family is all in your grandmother's hands." ”

"Even your sister's dowry silver is hidden in her hand, and my mother has worked hard tonight, but you can also see that your grandfather and grandmother don't agree."

Seeing the loss on her son's face, she felt a pain in her heart, held her son's arm and comforted: "Don't worry, my mother will find a way later." ”

"Ask for your sister's dowry silver, and then give you a few taels, so that you can go to school, and you wait!"

When Ye Wenhao heard this, his heart was relieved, but Ye Hanyue on the kang was unwilling.

There was a trace of dissatisfaction on her face: "Mother, you told me before, all the silver was given to me!" ”

"That was the dowry gift that Duan Langjun gave me, why should I give it to my brother? I don't think my grandmother is wrong, my brother just wants to be lazy, and it is in vain to spend money to let him study! ”

Ma Shi frowned, walked to the side of the kang, and said with a disapproving face: "Yue'er, how can you talk, he is your brother!" ”

"It's not easy for a woman to live her life, if your mother's family doesn't have anyone to support her, your in-laws won't know how to bully you in the future."

"He is your brother-in-law, and with him to help you, you will be able to live an easier life in the future!"

Ye Hanyue pouted disdainfully, just like her brother, still help her? Hmph, it's good not to drag her down! She'd rather not have this brother!

But looking at her mother's face, she didn't say anything, reluctantly, and said in a charity-like tone: "That's okay, I'll divide my brother for a tael of silver then." ”

Or? How is this enough? Ma's brows furrowed again, and he was about to speak, when he saw Ye Wenhao in the room suddenly erupt.

He stiffened his face, glared at his sister hatefully, and threw down a sentence: "One or two? You might as well not give it! I'm not rare! ”

Twisting his face and running out of the house, he could faintly hear his sister's nonchalant voice: "Mother, you heard it too, it's my brother who doesn't want it, but it's not that I don't give it!" ”

"You kid, don't you break your brother's heart? Da Lang ......"

At this time, the sky was completely dark, the black lights were blind, Ye Wenhao didn't dare to run around, alone, and stood in the corner of the courtyard alone.

He clenched his fists and looked up at the sky above him, which was pitch black, just as he was feeling at the moment.

Before he could be melancholy for long, the Ma clan in the house chased him out and shouted around: "Da Lang, Da Lang ....."

Ye Wenhao felt a trace of warmth in his heart, seeing that his mother seemed to be preparing to look for him in the distance, he hesitated and called out loudly: "Mother.... I'm here. ”

When Ma Shi heard the voice, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and when he walked over, he muttered: "You kid, do you want your mother to die in a hurry at night?" You're not afraid of being taken away by wolves! ”

dragged his son into the door, turned his head to see the dullness on his face, sighed, patted him on the back and comforted: "Da Lang, don't be angry with your sister." ”

"Mother's life, there are only you two children, you all have to be good, that woman has enveloped your father's heart, and the only one my mother can rely on is you!"

Ye Wenhao turned his head to look at his mother's face, which was obviously much older than a year ago, was silent for a few breaths, and suddenly said, "Mother, I will definitely let you live a good life in the future." ”

But he never mentioned Ye Hanyue.

A touch of relief appeared on Ma's face, and he patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, well, that mother will wait for that day." ”

didn't mention his daughter to his son, but he didn't care much about it, he just thought he was still angry with his daughter.

The two went back to the house, and Ye Hanyue on the kang glanced at them, and muttered, "I thought you wouldn't come back." ”

"Yue'er!" Ma scolded her with a serious face.

"If you don't say it, you won't say it!" Ye Hanyue felt uncomfortable, she didn't even look at her brother, lowered her head and continued to embroider.

Looking at Ye Wenhao again, the same is true, the two don't look like brothers and sisters, but like enemies.

..............

At the same moment in the county seat, in a small courtyard, Ye Zhengde, who came back late, just walked into the house today because of something in the yamen.

Yu Shi on the kang asked, "What's the matter, is there any news from my mother?" ”

Hearing this, Yu Shi took his attention away from his son, and replied with a smile: "Here, I received the letter in the afternoon, and the letter is on the table." ”

"I can't read, so I'm waiting for you to come back and see it! Why did you come back so late today? The cooked food is cold. ”

Speaking of this, a touch of irritability appeared on Ye Zhengde's face, and he waved his hand at her: "Don't worry about it, it will always not be short of your mother's food!" ”

As he spoke, he picked up the letter on the table and read it.

Seeing him like this, Yu Shi didn't say anything more, turned his head and teased his son again.
