"Are you Ye Daniu?"
Ye Jinxiu walked closer to the girl and looked at her face.
The girl in front of him had a standard oval face. One of her eyes had single eyelids and the other had double eyelids.
"Who are you?"
"If you are Ye Daniu, then I am your cousin. If you are not Ye Daniu, then I am just a passerby.
Are you Ye Daniu? "
The girl looked at Ye Jinxiu. "I am."
Ye Jinxiu took out two White Rabbit Creamy Candies from his pocket and handed one to Ye Daniu. "Do you want one?"
Ye Daniu was unmoved. "Did you come to the Huang family village to look for me?"
Ye Daniu did not dare to have any expectations of Ye Jinxiu. She had once hoped that her grandpa's family would treat her well. In the end, her grandpa's family did not treat her as a person at all. After taking her family's assets, they beat and scolded her.
She had once had expectations of the Yeh family. However, in the ten years after her parents' death, the Yeh family did not come to look for her even once. It was as if she was not even a member of the Yeh family.
Did she dare to have expectations of the person who claimed to be her cousin?
To be honest, she did not dare.
Ye Jinxiu peeled off the candy wrapper and brought the White Rabbit Creamy Candies to Ye Daniu's mouth. "It's very sweet. Try it."
Ye Jinxiu had a smile on her face. Her eyes shone brightly. Her smile was very warm and her gaze was very passionate. Ye Daniu could not help but indulge in it.
Ye Daniu could not help but stick out her tongue to lick the candy. The candy was really sweet. Just one lick was enough to fill her heart with sweetness.
"Shall we find a place to talk?"
Ye Daniu had not understood the relationship between the two of them, but she had already said, "Okay."
Ye Jinxiu took Ye Daniu's hand and led her to the left.
There were two roads on the left. One led to the entrance of the village and the other led to the back of the mountain.
Ye Jinxiu had no intention of abducting Ye Daniu. She brought Ye Daniu to the back of the mountain.
When she was halfway up the mountain, she found a relatively flat piece of land and sat down. Then, she waved at Ye Daniu.
"Daniu, come here. Let's sit next to each other."
Ye Jinxiu gave Ye Daniu a very intimate feeling. Ye Daniu had a fiery personality and hated evil, but in front of Ye Jinxiu, she actually subconsciously retracted her sharp thorns and obediently leaned over to sit next to Ye Jinxiu.
Ye Jinxiu took out the second White Rabbit Creamy Candy. After peeling off the wrapper, he smiled and brought it to Ye Daniu's mouth. "Daniu, do you like staying at your grandpa's house?"
"I don't."
After a moment of silence, Ye Daniu followed her heart and answered Ye Jinxiu.
But so what if she didn't like it? She was penniless. Other than staying at her grandpa's house, what else could she do?
Ye Jinxiu patted the back of Ye Daniu's head. She was the only child in the family and had been spoiled since she was young. She didn't have any siblings at home.
When she first saw Ye Daniu, she didn't feel much. But as she interacted with her, she slowly developed a strange feeling that she was her younger sister.
"Then do you want to live with me?"
Ye Daniu looked at Ye Jinxiu in surprise. She really liked this person who claimed to be her cousin. She could feel kindness from her.
If possible, she was willing to live with her.
But what was the use of her thinking? Her grandpa and grandma had already decided to marry her off to a widowed man in the neighboring village. They couldn't let her go with her cousin.
She really liked this cousin in front of her and really wanted to live with her.
Seeing that Ye Daniu was silent, Ye Jinxiu looked at her gently and said, "Do you want to?"
Ye Daniu blinked and looked helpless. "I want to, but grandpa and the others …"
Ye Jinxiu held Ye Daniu's hand and interrupted her. "It's fine if you want to, Daniu. You're my younger sister. I won't let you marry a widowed man."
After saying this, Ye Jinxiu realized that he was being a bitch. He smiled and continued, "Do you believe me?"
Although Ye Daniu was only 14 years old, she matured early and understood a lot of things.
Her grandpa's family wanted to marry her off to a widowed man for a betrothal gift of 20 yuan. Why was this cousin in front of her so nice to her?
"I believe you."
Ye Jinxiu hugged Ye Daniu happily. "Be a good girl and wait at home. I'll come to pick you up in two days."
Ye Jinxiu stood up and was about to leave when Ye Daniu held her hand and looked up to ask, "Will you really come to pick me up?"
Her eyes were dark and bottomless.
Ye Jinxiu smiled and gently stroked her hair. "Of course, I'll definitely come to pick you up."
But before she went to pick her up, she had to inform the leaders of the Huang family village and the Yeh family village.
She went to town to buy a roasted chicken and returned to the Yeh family village before nightfall.
Under the moonlight, she carried the roasted chicken in one hand and sunflower seeds in the other and headed to the leader's house.
"Miss Xiuxiu, why are you here?"
Ye Jinxiu deliberately waved the roasted chicken in his hand and asked with a smile, "Auntie, is the leader at home? I want to look for him."
Seeing the roasted chicken and sunflower seeds in Ye Jinxiu's hands, the leader's wife's expression changed and she enthusiastically pulled Ye Jinxiu into the house.
For the past few days, she had heard that Ye Jinxiu had made a fortune and had been eating meat at home every day.
The aroma of the stewed meat could be smelled from five miles away.
"Come in and have a seat. Your uncle should be back soon."
Ye Jinxiu tactfully handed the items to the leader's wife. The leader's wife happily accepted them and pretended to be polite. "It's good that you're here. There's no need to bring gifts.
You can't do this next time, okay? Otherwise, I won't let you in. "
Ye Jinxiu said sweetly, "Whatever you say, Auntie. I won't dare to do this next time."
Ye Jinxiu chatted with Auntie for a while. Half an hour later, the leader arrived home.
The leader's wife went out to welcome him and said loudly, "Sir, Miss Xiuxiu is here. She's looking for you."
"Why would Miss Xiuxiu be looking for me?"
The leader's wife glared at the leader. "How would I know why she's looking for you?"
She whispered into the leader's ear, "She sent us roasted chicken and sunflower seeds. She's very sincere. Go and ask her what's the matter.
If it's a small matter, we'll help her if we can. "
The leader thought about it and agreed. Although the Yeh family was poor, the Yeh family had a high-ranking relative.
No matter what, the Yeh family could only be on good terms with them and not bad terms.
The leader went to the well to get water to wash the mud off his trousers. After washing his face with a towel, he went into the house to look for Ye Jinxiu.
"Miss Xiuxiu, I heard from your Auntie that you're looking for me. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Ye Jinxiu didn't want to beat around the bush and went straight to the point. "I want to talk to you about Ye Daniu."
The news that Ye Daniu was going to marry a widowed man had spread like wildfire in town. The leader had also heard about it.
However, the Yeh family had never cared about Ye Daniu. Why would Ye Jinxiu suddenly look for him to talk about Ye Daniu?
Could it be that the Yeh family was planning to take care of Ye Daniu?
The leader's expression changed and he looked at Ye Jinxiu with a serious expression.
"Leader, my Daniu is only 14 years old. She's not even an adult yet. How can she get married? Don't you think so?"
She deliberately said the words "my Daniu" and pretended that the Yeh family wanted to protect Ye Daniu.
The Yeh family had a big business, but only Ye Jinxiu's family lived in the Yeh family village. The other uncles lived in town or in the province and rarely returned to the village.
They were all members of the Yeh family, so why was only Ye Jinxiu's family living in the Yeh family village? It all started with Ye Jinxiu's father.
The leader coughed and said in a low voice, "Miss Xiuxiu, Daniu has been living with her grandfather's family since she was young. We can't do anything about it even if we wanted to."
Ye Jinxiu knew what the leader meant. The leader was obviously trying to tell Ye Jinxiu that he didn't want to interfere in matters that didn't concern him. If the Yeh family didn't want to interfere, why should he interfere?
Although he was the leader of the Yeh family village, the leader's position wasn't worth much now. It was just a nice title.
Ye Jinxiu smiled and said, "Leader, although Daniu is living with her grandfather, she still has the Yeh family's blood. She's a descendant of the Yeh family.
"I'm not here to make things difficult for you. I just want to tell you that I plan to take Daniu back to the Yeh family village. I hope you can agree."
The leader didn't think highly of Ye Jinxiu. In the eyes of her grandfather's family, Ye Daniu was like a piece of juicy meat that was about to enter their mouths. Would the Huang family be willing to let Ye Jinxiu take her away?
It was impossible.
"I don't have any objections."
As long as he didn't have to interfere, he wouldn't have any objections.
Ye Jinxiu had already expected that the leader wouldn't have any objections. It was easy to convince the leader of the Yeh family village. The difficult part was convincing the leader of the Huang family village.
After discussing the matter, Ye Jinxiu didn't stay at the leader's house for long. He found an excuse to leave.
When he got home, the house was brightly lit. Ye Jinxiu pushed open the door and said, "Comrade Gao, do you need to relieve yourself?"
After recuperating for half a month, Gao Xuejun could barely move his hands. However, he still couldn't move his legs.
"No need."
After being taken care of by Ye Jinxiu for half a month, Gao Xuejun gradually became numb. Now that he was facing Ye Jinxiu, he had the illusion that Ye Jinxiu wasn't a woman but a man.
"Alright, just shout if you need anything. I'm a light sleeper and can hear you."
After closing the door, Ye Jinxiu took off his shoes and went to bed.
Before going to bed, she habitually turned on her virtual phone and opened the Taobao shop.
The second batch of dried sweet potatoes and boiled peanuts was ready to be sold at any time.
She changed the inventory of dried sweet potatoes and boiled peanuts from zero to two hundred catties of inventory.
After setting the stock of dried sweet potatoes and boiled peanuts, Ye Jinxiu opened the comments section.
[Ling Ling Qi: The boiled peanuts are delicious!
As soon as I received the delivery, my colleagues immediately rushed to eat them. Soon, the 10 pounds of boiled peanuts I bought were all gone!!!
My colleagues all said that they wanted to buy the boiled peanuts from this shop, but unfortunately, the shop is out of stock.
Let me ask you, shopkeeper, are you still selling boiled peanuts?]
[Right Bank: This is the first time I tried this flavor of peanuts. I usually eat dried and minced garlic flavors.
The taste of peanuts is very good. They are hard and chewy.
The boss probably boiled the peanuts with the shell on and dried them. They taste dry and can't be peeled.
However, this flavor of peanuts is really delicious. The only drawback is that the stock is too low!
Boss, when will your peanuts be on sale?]
[Housewife Little Fairy: My family likes to drink, so I ordered two pounds of boiled peanuts. I had a few drinks with my family in the evening. My husband said that peanuts are delicious and it's a perfect match with wine.
Although the price is a little expensive, as long as my husband likes it, I will still order next time.]
[Housewife Little Fairy: The person who commented just now was not me, it was my husband!!]
There were more than a hundred comments urging Ye Jinxiu to put the boiled peanuts on the shelf. Among the more than a hundred comments, there was a comment showing off their love, which caused the comment area to be completely crooked. The comments below were all "hehe".
Ye Jinxiu had just finished changing the stock, and in less than half an hour, the food in the shop was sold out again.
Looking at the empty Taobao shop, Ye Jinxiu yawned, pulled up the quilt, and slowly fell asleep.
In modern times, in the secretary's office.
Ling Lingqi habitually opened the Sifang Delicacies page and stared at the main page of the Sifang Delicacies without blinking. She imagined that in the next second, the main page would change from "sold out" to "surplus in stock".
After staring for a while, the page jumped to the top. The stock of dried sweet potatoes and peanuts had increased from zero to two hundred pounds.
Ling Lingqi suspected that her eyes were playing tricks on her. Before she suspected that her eyes were hallucinating, she clicked on the page of dried sweet potatoes and boiled peanuts without hesitation and placed an order for five pounds of each.
After submitting the transaction, she rubbed her eyes and exhaled heavily.
Ten minutes later, she heard an earth-shattering scream coming from the office next door.
"Ahhhhh!
It wasn't easy to get the dried sweet potatoes on sale in the Sifang Delicacies, but it's gone in the blink of an eye! "
"Why is the Sifang Delicacies only selling fifty pounds of dried sweet potatoes?!
I feel like I've missed out on a hundred million! "
"Rubbish network, give me back my dried sweet potatoes!"
"Director, I see that your order has been successful. Can you give me two pounds of dried sweet potatoes?"
"Go away, I only placed an order for five pounds. I have old and young people in my family. They are all looking forward to these five pounds of dried sweet potatoes. You have the nerve to ask me for it?"
"Director, I have the nerve. Can you give me a few pounds?"
"Director, I don't have the nerve. Just give me one pound."
"Director, I have the nerve to give you my face. Just give me half a pound."
Ling Lingqi walked slowly into the office and pretended to be careless. "I just placed an order for five pounds of dried sweet potatoes and five pounds of boiled peanuts. Who wants them?"
In an instant, the men and women in the office rushed to Ling Lingqi and surrounded her to ask for half a pound of dried sweet potatoes.
Because of the few pounds of dried sweet potatoes, Ling Lingqi was voted as the most popular female employee.
The seventies
One week was enough for Ye Jinxiu to get used to village life. She was now used to sleeping at eight o'clock in the evening and waking up at five o'clock in the morning.
Today was Weaver Day. After breakfast, she carried her basket and followed the people of the Yeh family village to Weaver Day.
When they reached the town, Ye Jinxiu deliberately lagged behind a few steps and separated from the people of the Yeh family village.
Weaver Day in Nanzhen was very lively. There were hawkers everywhere. Some things that could not be bought on normal days could be bought on Weaver Day.
Ye Jinxiu bought a pound of roast pork, a roast chicken, and half a pound of candy and hurried to the Huang family village.
She had been to the Huang family village once, so she knew the way to the Huang family village.
After walking for nearly an hour, she walked to the entrance of the Huang family village.
"Brother, can you tell me which way to the leader's house?"
She did not know the way to the leader's house in the Huang family village. On the way, she stopped a man in his forties and asked for directions.
"Take that road. Go straight and don't turn. You'll reach in ten minutes."
It was the first time the man was called "Brother" by a fair and tender girl like Ye Jinxiu. He could not help but feel proud. His legs were very weak. He felt like he could fly with a breeze.
"Thank you."
Ye Jinxiu turned and walked forward. After walking for more than ten minutes, she saw a small farmhouse.
The farmhouse in front of her was more luxurious than ordinary farmhouses. Ordinary farmhouses had thatched roofs, but the farmhouse in front of her had a tiled roof.
Ye Jinxiu went forward and knocked on the door. Soon, someone opened it.
"Hello, I'm from the Yeh family village. I'm looking for Captain Huang."
The person who opened the door was Captain Huang's eldest daughter-in-law. When she saw Ye Jinxiu's fair and tender appearance, she subconsciously thought that she was an educated youth from the countryside. She could not help but give Ye Jinxiu a dirty look.
"My father has always been fair. Don't even think about going through the back door."
Ye Jinxiu's smile did not fade. She cheerfully reminded her, "Sister, I'm from the Yeh family village. Even if I want to go through the back door, I will go through the back door of Captain Ye from the Yeh family village."
After being rebuked by Ye Jinxiu, Captain Huang's eldest daughter-in-law disliked Ye Jinxiu even more. She snorted coldly and said, "My father is not home. You can leave."
After saying that, she slammed the door shut. The door almost hit Ye Jinxiu's nose.
Ye Jinxiu touched the tip of his nose and thought to himself, "This sister has a really strong temper.
Since she's already here, she can't go back empty-handed. "
Ye Jinxiu looked around and wanted to find a place to sit down.
After looking around, she realized that she was surrounded by mud and there was no place to sit.
Fortunately, she had practiced standing in the past for the sake of her appearance. Standing straight for two hours was not a problem at all.
She put down the things in her hands on the ground and stood straight next to the door.
When it was close to noon, Captain Huang and his family went home for lunch.
Captain Huang saw someone coming to the door from afar. He hurriedly quickened his pace to see who it was.
As he approached step by step, Captain Huang's heart leaped into his throat.
There was a woman standing in front of the door, but this woman looked extraordinary.
The woman was very fair and clean, and there was not a single patch on her clothes.
Her back was straight, and there was a faint smile on her face. She exuded an aura that could not be offended.
Captain Huang walked over quickly, clasped his hands behind his back, and asked, "You are?"
Ye Jinxiu did not relax at all. Her back was straight, her chin was raised at a fifteen-degree angle, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. She gave people a feeling that she was not close enough and was cold enough to keep her distance.
"You must be Captain Huang. I'm Ye Jinxiu from the Yeh family village. I'm Ye Daniu's cousin. I want to talk to you about Ye Daniu's marriage."
Captain Huang's heart skipped a beat. It was rumored that Ye Daniu had an uncle who was an official. Judging from the woman's words and actions, could it be that the woman in front of him was the daughter of Ye Daniu's uncle?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. Captain Huang immediately smiled and said, "Let's talk inside."
He quickly opened the door and stood at the door with an "inviting" gesture, inviting Ye Jinxiu into the house.
Since young, Ye Jinxiu had always wanted to climb up the ladder. Even if there were no stairs, she would create one.
Seeing that Captain Huang had invited her into the house, she nodded and walked in first like a boss.
Captain Huang led Ye Jinxiu to the main house. When he opened the door, he deliberately stayed half a step behind Ye Jinxiu to let her enter the house first.
Ye Jinxiu was prepared to bow down and be submissive, but Captain Huang's actions made her change her mind.
She nodded and walked into the house without looking sideways.
Captain Huang's eldest daughter-in-law grabbed her husband and pointed in Ye Jinxiu's direction. She asked, "Husband, what's wrong with that woman?"
She actually saw her father-in-law respectfully welcoming that woman into the house.
"I don't know."
Captain Huang's eldest son was a simple and honest man. He answered his wife honestly.
Captain Huang's eldest daughter-in-law pushed her husband and said angrily, "Why don't you know anything?!"
Captain Huang's eldest son replied honestly, "Don't tell me you know?"
Captain Huang's eldest daughter-in-law was so angry that she pinched him and rolled her eyes at him.
In the house, Captain Huang poured a cup of tea for Ye Jinxiu. "Comrade Ye, Daniu is a member of the Yeh family. Whether Daniu gets married or not is up to the Yeh family to decide."
"But Daniu has been living with her grandfather's family since she was young. As the saying goes, the grace of birth is not as great as the grace of raising. What does the Yeh family plan to do with Daniu's marriage?"
Ye Jinxiu pretended to take a sip of tea. Because her father was a nouveau riche, Ye Jinxiu paid a lot of attention to nurturing Ye Jinxiu's self-restraint. He was afraid that others would laugh at Ye Jinxiu.
Ever since Father Ye became rich, he sent Ye Jinxiu to all kinds of interest classes. He was determined to nurture Ye Jinxiu into a modern lady from a prestigious family.
He could be laughed at because he was a nouveau riche, but he definitely couldn't allow his delicate daughter to be laughed at.
Just like that, Ye Jinxiu began to wander around in all kinds of interest classes. Sometimes, she would learn the art of tea in the morning and flower arrangement in the afternoon. Sometimes, she would learn piano in the morning and dance in the afternoon.
Although she didn't dare to say that she was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, she could still pretend to be proficient.
Once she put on a show, Captain Huang was instantly intimidated.
Ye Jinxiu put down his teacup and said calmly, "No matter what, Ye Daniu's surname is Ye, not Huang."
"Moreover, Ye Daniu is only 14 years old this year. She is still an underage child. How can she get married?
Our Yeh family plans to bring Daniu back to the Yeh family village. "
Ye Jinxiu glanced at Captain Huang and continued, "Captain Huang, you are the captain of the Huang family village. Others can be confused, but you can't be."
Captain Huang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and couldn't help but follow Ye Jinxiu's train of thought.
There was a very scary organization in Nanzhen called the Women's Federation. The director of the Women's Federation was famous for being a shrew. Anyone who went against her would suffer a lot.
Now that the director of the Women's Federation had gone to North City for a meeting, she couldn't care about Ye Daniu for the time being. However, the director of the Women's Federation was only going to a meeting and would return one day.
If she found out that Ye Daniu was forced to get married when she was still underage, she would probably come to the Huang family village to cause trouble for him.
"Yes, yes, yes. Daniu's surname is Ye after all."
Captain Huang refilled Ye Jinxiu's cup of tea and asked in a trembling voice, "I don't know if it's your idea to bring Daniu back to the Yeh family village or the Yeh family's idea."
Ye Jinxiu didn't know who the Yeh family was for the time being, but this didn't affect her from assuming the authority of the Yeh family. "My idea is the Yeh family's idea."
"Captain Huang, Daniu definitely can't get married like this."
"Then what do you mean?"
Ye Jinxiu didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I want Daniu to cut ties with the Huang family. From now on, Sister Huang can't cause trouble for Daniu and return my Fifth Uncle's assets to Daniu."
Captain Huang was confident that he could stop the Huang family from causing trouble for Ye Daniu, but to make the Huang family return Ye Daniu's assets to Ye Daniu was probably harder than ascending to the heavens.
The Huang family was a group of people who ate meat without spitting out the bones. There was no example of them spitting out the things they had swallowed.
"Comrade Ye, this is difficult to handle."
Ye Jinxiu frowned. "Captain Huang, this isn't difficult at all.
If the Yeh family wants to deal with the Huang family, it's just a matter of saying a word. But the Yeh family is an honest family. We won't use our power to oppress others. "
"Captain Huang, you're the captain of the Huang family village. I believe that as long as you want to do something, there's nothing you can't do."
Captain Huang avoided Ye Jinxiu's gaze as he pondered over Ye Jinxiu's words.
After chatting with Ye Jinxiu for so long, he deeply felt that Ye Jinxiu was the daughter of the Yeh family's youngest uncle. Only a family like the Yeh family's youngest uncle could nurture such an imposing woman like Ye Jinxiu.
He didn't dare to offend the Yeh family, but the Huang family wasn't so easy to deal with either.
He had to think about it again before he could give Ye Jinxiu an answer.
Ye Jinxiu looked very confident on the surface, but in reality, the confidence in her heart was not as strong as it appeared on her face.
Although the Yeh family's youngest uncle had always taken care of the Yeh family, it was just that. If he found out that she was using his name to bluff others, she didn't know if he would slap her to death.
Ye Jinxiu picked up her cup and took a sip of tea. As she tasted the slightly bitter taste of the tea, her mind gradually went blank.
"Comrade Ye, I can try to do what you said, but whether it succeeds or not depends on the Huang family."
After hearing Captain Huang's words, Ye Jinxiu was sure that Captain Huang had made up his mind to stand on her side.
She put the gifts she brought on the table and smiled as she pushed them in front of Captain Huang. "I saw someone selling roasted meat and roasted chicken in town. I heard that roasted meat is very delicious. Try it."
Captain Huang was a smart person. He instantly understood what Ye Jinxiu meant.
He took the gifts and glanced into the bag. He saw 20 yuan in the paper bag that contained the roasted meat.
He took the money and put it in his pocket. "You're too polite."
"It's my pleasure."
Ye Jinxiu waved her hand and smiled. "It's getting late. I'll go home first. I'll look for you tomorrow."
Captain Huang sent Ye Jinxiu all the way out of the village. After sending Ye Jinxiu off, he hurriedly went to the Huang family to look for Ye Daniu's grandfather. He told him that the Yeh family wanted to take Ye Daniu away.
Ye Daniu's grandfather naturally didn't agree. He glared at him and shouted, "Captain, Daniu is my granddaughter. I can't let the Yeh family take her away!"
Captain Huang couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with Ye Daniu's grandfather. He said, "Ye Daniu's surname is Ye after all. She's part of the Yeh family. If you dare to challenge the Yeh family's youngest uncle, you can do whatever you want."
Of course, Ye Daniu's grandfather didn't dare to challenge Youngest Uncle Ye. He took a deep breath and tacitly agreed to let Ye Daniu go back to the Yeh family.
After discussing Ye Daniu's matter, Captain Huang brought up the matter of Fifth Uncle Ye's property to Ye Daniu's grandfather. When it came to money, Ye Daniu's grandfather firmly refused to admit that he had embezzled his son-in-law's family's money.
He wanted to shamelessly drag the matter over, but Captain Huang didn't give him a chance. He said bluntly, "This is what the Yeh family's youngest uncle wants."
"Lao Huang, in the past, the Yeh family's youngest uncle turned a blind eye and let you take your son-in-law's property. Now, the Yeh family's youngest uncle wants to make a fuss. You'd better obediently return the things to the Yeh family."
