Ye Xi was stunned for a moment, controlled his emotions and raised his eyes, looking at the middle-aged woman in front of him who was a little thin and tall, wearing a brown cotton dress.

Her eyes are small, her cheekbones are prominent, and her lips are thin, making her look a little mean.

Because he took the sweet potato, Ye Xi stammered a little weakly: "Six...... Sixth aunt, my sister's fever has only subsided, she can't work yet, and she hasn't eaten yet. Otherwise, I'll help you find the pigweed ...... later."

"Phew, what can you do with your little body? I don't dare to ask you to work, you are changing the way to make me be scolded by my father-in-law! ”

Xiao Shi glared at him, she said that she would let Ye Leek Ya go to work, but she couldn't get angry, in fact, Ye Leek Ya couldn't do any work since she was a little stupid.

And the Ye family was able to make a fortune at the beginning, and Ning Yuxi helped a lot, Ye Leek was really rich as a boudoir lady when she was young.

Although Old Man Ye doesn't like Ye Leek Ya to look like this now, he still didn't abuse her in the end, as long as Ye Leek Ya doesn't do anything outside, many times he turns a blind eye.

Ye Xi listened to Xiao's words, he could only lower his head, not daring to answer, although it was not a big deal for him to be discovered by her with sweet potatoes, it would not sound good if it was passed out, mainly because this Xiao family was a well-known long-tongued woman, and when the time came, I didn't know what she would be like.

Xiao's own man didn't dare to take care of it, thinking that she was doing the most work in the Ye family now, but the two sons didn't enter the school, which was too unfair!

She has nowhere to vent her resentment, but she likes to go outside and gossip.

Xiao Shi especially likes to eat melon seeds and peanuts, she used to bring a pack of gossip with others, even if the Ye family is down now, she will still buy a bag of salty sunflower seeds.

Although the other long-tongued women in the village also laughed at her behind her back for marrying Ye Wenjun, a stupid man, there were some short gossips in the family who still liked to talk to her.

This is because they have some to eat, and naturally they will not refuse Xiao's joining.

Xiao was scolding, and Liang Fumao, Ye Laosan's brother-in-law, who was passing by the back door of the Ye family's kitchen, happened to hear it, and he stepped forward and persuaded:

"Sister-in-law Jin Xiu, he just took a sweet potato, you are all a family, this is called stealing, could it be that he is hungry and can't go to the kitchen to eat something?"

"Take it without asking, what is it if you don't steal? Since it's a family, did he contribute? You don't have a backache when you stand and talk, you go to school, you don't have to work, so it's the same as what he thinks.

It's no wonder that you study, don't eat your Liang family's rice and grain, and live in your eldest brother-in-law's house every day. It's a shame that you are still scholars, and you don't know any etiquette, righteousness and shame! Let other people work hard to feed you! ”

"Only villains and women are difficult to raise, I don't have the same knowledge as you!" After Liang Fumao finished saying this, he glanced at Ye Xi, if he hadn't gone to the Xu family next door to the Ye family's old mansion to borrow books from his classmates, he wouldn't have taken care of this matter.

He glanced at Ye Xi again, sighed, and turned to leave.

Xiao's face sank, and she glared at Liang Fumao's back, she also looked down on Xiao Liang's younger brother, who was almost a generation younger.

The Liang family is in a small village behind the mountain, far away from the town academy, and Xiushui Village is outside the city gate of Chongyang Town, only two miles to the town, so he has been living in Ye Laosan's house since he studied in the town's Bailu Academy in the past few years.

Xiao Liang's mother left early, she loves her younger brother very much, and Ye Wennan is a kind person, so Liang Fumao's food is basically from their family.

Xiao felt that since the Ye family was not separated, the things of the Ye Laosan family still belonged to the Ye family, and being eaten and drunk by an outsider all day long was as if eating and using her things.

She turned around and snatched the sweet potato from Ye Xi fiercely, and pointed at Ye Xi's voice up a few degrees: "Don't you want to give her any more food today!" ”

After speaking, he found an earthen bowl, put up a few boiled sweet potatoes in the pot, and took them away.

Ye Xi looked at his empty palms, hated himself for being useless, and remembered the days when his mother was there before, and his eyes quickly turned red......

After Ye Leek Ya finished sweeping the ground, she almost fell down tired, and her stomach screamed desperately, so she couldn't bear it anymore, and decided to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, if not, she would get some food herself.

Ye Leek Ya walked out of the door and found that Huang was not at home. So she went into the kitchen and looked around, it was broken and small.

There is a cabinet made of wood against the wall, there is no such small door, you can clearly see a few clay bowls, a few large black porcelain jars, a few small clay jars, and I don't know what it contains.

Next to the cabinet hangs a basket of bamboo chopsticks, in which there are several pairs of bamboo chopsticks and a few ceramic spoons.

Near the back door of the kitchen was a large stove with three iron pots of various sizes, one of which was covered with a heavy lid made of wood.

Next to it was an iron spatula with a wooden handle, a brush made of bamboo for brushing pots, and a loofah that couldn't be seen clearly.

There seemed to be a hint of rice porridge in the pot, Ye Leek was really hungry, and her stomach was "gurgling" twice, and she opened the lid of the pot to find that there was a shallow sweet potato porridge inside!

I'm hungry, so I'm going to eat this porridge at once!

Ye Leek Sprout quickly found a rice bowl and a soup spoon to clean it with water, filled a bowl of sweet potato porridge, and ate it in less than three minutes, and she was still unsatisfied.

Just as he was about to fill the second bowl, there was a commotion outside, as if an ox cart had stopped outside the courtyard, and then a woman's voice was heard shouting, "Is there anyone?" Someone, our lady and young lady have come to see their in-laws? ”

In-laws?

After a while, she heard Ye Jiang's voice ringing: "Yo, it's my in-laws, why didn't you notify me in advance?" We're not ready for anything, you see! ”

A middle-aged woman's voice rang out: "Don't bother, I'm worried that you will all go to work in the field later, if you come at night, it's too dark and there is no place to live, and there is no sun today, why don't you come over now, we have something to discuss with you." ”

"Then hurry up and sit in the house, Jin Xiu, go boil water and make tea." Ye Jiang said with a smile.

"You don't have to go into the house, the house is too small to speak, just go to the hall of your house and talk." Originally, Mrs. Zhang wanted to say not to make tea, but later thought that the Ye family should still have some good tea, so she did not refuse.

Ye Leek listened for a while, washed the bowl and soup spoon in her hand, and decided to follow them to hear what they had to say.
