Chapter VII Livelihood Issues

"Shouli, I can't do this." Li Zheng thought for a moment, and he looked at Ye Jinyan with a sad face, "Yan girl, what do you say?" ”

"Uncle Lizheng, since Jinyu and I have separated from the Ye family, it is naturally not good to trouble the elders again." Ye Jinyu said with a smile.

Ye Shouli snorted coldly, if it weren't for the money, he wouldn't have bothered to get involved in this.

He said angrily: "Yan girl, you have talked about this, so don't come to us in the future." ”

"As it should be." Ye Jin didn't give an inch, and his tone was very firm.

Ye Shouli was angry, and he wanted to say something, but Hu Shi pulled the corner of his clothes and signaled him not to say anything more.

Although he doubted in his heart, he did not continue.

Although Hu is a money-loving man, he is not stupid. After yesterday's incident, she was sure that Ye Jinyan was not a good person, and it might not be a good thing to keep them at home.

Li Zheng glanced at the people of the Ye family, and then spoke: "Since this is the case, I will no longer be reluctant." ”

He paused for a moment and said, "Yan girl, there is still a vacant house in the east of the village, you and Jinyu should move there first!" ”

Ye Jinyan pulled Ye Jinyu and saluted, and said in unison, "Thank you, Uncle Lizheng." ”

Ye Shouren saw that this matter was over, so he didn't want to stay longer, "Lizheng, let's go back first." ”

At this point, Li Zheng could be regarded as seeing through the Ye family, and he waved his hand casually.

The villagers couldn't see it anymore and blamed one after another.

"Boss Ye, don't you stay and help?"

"Cut, they won't do anything without money."

Ye Shouren also ignored it, and walked straight to the gate of the courtyard, and the rest of the Ye family hurriedly followed.

Ye Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief, he finally got rid of these troublesome characters. She looked at the thatched hut that had been burned down for most of it, but her heart ignited a yearning for the future life.

They searched through the ruins for a long time, but found nothing.

Li Zheng shook his head, "Forget it! ”

Then he led the people to the empty house.

This room, which used to be inhabited by a lonely old man, has been idle since his death.

At this time, the loess wall around the courtyard had completely collapsed, and at first glance, it was overgrown with weeds and scattered with gravel, which looked very desolate.

There is only one wing room next to the kitchen.

The villagers frowned, can this place still be inhabited?

Ye Jinyan didn't think it mattered, as long as it was enough to shelter from the wind and rain.

She looked around and noticed that the door had fallen to the lock, and with a few steps forward, she gently tugged on it, and with a 'click', the brass lock fell to the ground.

As soon as the door was pushed, the warm sunlight shone into the dimly lit room with a "squeak" sound.

There was a thick layer of dust piling up all over the house, but fortunately, daily necessities such as pots and pans were still usable.

The villagers wanted to stay and help, but Ye Jinyan said no, and they dispersed. Li Zheng instructed a few words and went back.

At sunset, accompanied by the sound of pain, Ye Jinyan and Ye Jinyu slowly straightened their waists.

"The house is finally cleaned up." Ye Jinyan said with satisfaction.

Suddenly, there was a "grunt", Ye Jinyan searched for it, and she found Ye Jinyu blushing and covering her stomach.

Only then did she remember that the two of them hadn't eaten all day. But now that there is nothing to eat, what should I do?

Ye Jinyu also knew the situation of the two, and he didn't want his sister to worry. So, he hurriedly said, "Sister, I'm not hungry." ”

Ye Jinyan touched his head, just thinking about whether to go to the villagers to buy some food.

Suddenly there were many footsteps outside the door, followed by the warm greetings of the women.

"Aunt Li, why are you here?"

"I don't think about what the two babies of the Ye family haven't eaten, so I brought some wheat over."

"What about you?"

"We really wanted to go together, I picked some beans and came over."

Ye Jinyan and the two hurriedly went out.

There were seven or eight aunts standing at the gate of the courtyard, all of them carrying more or less things in their hands. Seeing the two sisters and brothers, they handed over the things in their hands with a smile.

Ye Jinyan wanted to refuse, but thought about Ye Jinyu. She silently took it.

"Aunties, thank you."

"Silly girl, thank you for what."

A group of people came and left quickly, and after a while, they disappeared.

Ye Jinyan is a person with clear grievances, seeing these women so kind-hearted, there was a warm current in her heart, and she made up her mind to repay them well in the future.

The same is true of Ye Jinyu beside her.

The two carried the things to the kitchen, and Ye Jinyan washed the wheat several times, and then poured it into the pot.

Then wash the beans and break them by hand and place them on the cutting board.

No one needs to tell her, Ye Jinyu has already burned the fire, and she is used to doing it at a glance.

The two of them worked hard for a long time, and finally made a meal.

On the square table are two bowls of yellow and clear wheat rice, a plate of fried beans, and a plate of soybean paste.

Although it was not sumptuous, the two of them ate with relish, after all, this was the first meal of the day.

The sky outside gradually darkened, and after Ye Jinyan washed the dishes and chopsticks, she leaned on the threshold and looked at the sunset in the distance.

Ye Jinyu asked curiously, "Sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I'm thinking...... What will we rely on to make a living in the future? ”

"Sister, I can go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and mushrooms, and take them to the town to exchange for money."

Ye Jinyan looked at his big round eyes, and thought to himself that the only way out for ancient men was to study. Ye Jinyu is talented and intelligent, and if he cultivates it well, his future will definitely be limitless.

She said with a straight face: "Jinyu, do you want to study?" ”

Study? Ye Jinyu had this idea before.

But Chen inquired privately, and the repair fee for Mr. was several taels of silver a year. After that, he gave up.

"Sister, I don't want to go."

Ye Jinyan knew that he was worried about money, but she didn't say anything, and secretly decided in her heart to make money quickly.

After the two of them washed and combed, Ye Jinyu fell asleep deeply. Ye Jinyan was worried that something would happen again, and after she kept watch for most of the night, she finally fell asleep when it was almost dawn.

At noon the next day, Ye Jinyan and the two slowly woke up, and they ate some at random.

Ye Jinyan proposed to go to the mountains to see, and Ye Jinyu also went with him.

Her family's mountainous soil is poor, so the Ye brothers let it remain barren.

Ye Jinyan looked at the dense weeds and had a headache. She had been thinking about planting something, but now it seemed to be nothing more than a delusion.

Suddenly, she saw a weed with purple-red stripes, and when she walked in, it turned out to be a dendrobium.

Ye Jinyan hurriedly looked around and found that there were more than a dozen dendrobium trees growing on this mountain. She was overjoyed, and secretly said in her heart that she had made a fortune.

You must know that Dendrobium officinale is a precious medicinal material, and is even known as "life-saving fairy grass", and it is a holy product that nourishes yin. The powerful women of history are highly respected. For a period of time, Dendrobium officinale has reached the point where it is priceless.

Ye Jinyan thought for a moment, if she took out so many dendrobium at once, she would definitely be remembered, and she finally decided to pull out three plants and sell them first, so as to alleviate the current dilemma.
