Chapter 65 Setting up the stage

Crescent Village has become lively again these days.

　　Ever since Ye Quan, Wu Xianglian and Ye Chenghe came back from town that day, the old Ye family had become proud and proud.

　　Wu Xianglian, in particular, told everyone she met that her third son was about to get married to the daughter of the town's Zhouji pawnshop. Her in-laws spent a lot of money to invite them to dinner at Quedenlou in town to discuss the marriage of the two children.

　　Many people in the village are extremely envious. Ye Chenghe, whose wife died a few years ago, can still be close to the only daughter of the Zhou family. Then sooner or later, the Zhou family's family business will fall into his hands?

　　There are those who are envious, and naturally there are those who are bitter.

　　The Zhao family next door to Lao Ye's family, He Huifen's mouth is about to go to Beigou Village.

　　"Hmph, marrying a second-married daughter seems like a joke. The Zhou family owns a pawn shop. What kind of son-in-law do you want? Are you looking for the one from your family that is so delicious and lazy?"

　　"Let me tell you, there is nothing good about being designated. Just watch it!"

　　Early in the morning, He Huifen was so angry that she heard Wu Xianglian yelling at the door next door. She also opened the door of her house and was beating her clothes in the yard while muttering.

　　"Bah! You dirty old guy! You just don't want to see our family well!"

　　Wu Xianglian refused to show weakness: "I have no ability, I can't give birth to a son, and my daughter-in-law doesn't live up to expectations. Who is to blame!"

　　"Now my third son is going to be successful! My eldest grandson is also going to take the college entrance examination soon, and your family will just watch a bunch of movies about girls. Go envy him!"

　　These words really hurt He Huifen's trachea. Her biggest regret in her life was that she only gave birth to a son. As a result, her son and daughter-in-law also spent a long time to give birth to a son.

　　"You old fool!"

　　He Huifen was so angry that she ran out, rushed to the door and yelled at Wu Xianglian: "What are you proud of?! The Zhou family is so rich that they would let their daughter marry into the village? Humph, I think it is you three boys who are going to marry into the village." Bar!"

　　Wu Xianglian was originally very proud, but as soon as He Huifen said these words, her expression immediately changed.

　　Her eyes widened, her hands trembled with anger, but she couldn't say a word.

　　Because He Huifen was indeed right, Zhou Zaiqian promised Ye Chenghe to marry his daughter, but the premise was that Ye Chenghe had to marry into the Zhou family.

　　Yesterday, Zhou Zaiqian invited them to have dinner at Qedenglou just to discuss this matter.

　　If Ye Quanneng had any idea, he would naturally agree.

　　Although he has good face, he can't stand the fact that the Zhou family is rich. Now Ye Chenghe's job is only ten taels of silver a month. If the marriage fails, Ye Chenghe will not be able to continue working in the Zhou family.

　　"you you you you..."

　　Wu Xianglian was trembling with anger and was about to scold He Huifen, when suddenly there was a cough in the courtyard.

　　Ye Quan walked out of the house with a pipe and a pot in his mouth, glanced at her and said, "Why are you making such a fuss so early in the morning? Why don't you go cook?"

　　"Hey, let's go right now."

Wu Xianglian was like a duck that had been choked. She turned off the fire and became mute. She glared at He Huifen next door, entered her yard, and slammed the door with a bang.

　　Ye Quan was smoking a big cigarette with an ugly face: "Before the matter is done, you are shouting everywhere to make yourself look like you!"

　　"If you dare to tell the truth about Cheng He's marriage to the village, I will beat you to death."

　　"How can you not tell me?" Wu Xianglian laughed twice, turned around and went into the house, "I will ask the boss's wife to cook."

　　"Come back."

　　After she finished speaking, she was about to leave, but was stopped by Ye Quan.

　　Ye Quan took a few puffs of dry cigarette and then said: "Chenghe's marriage is the most important thing right now. Please restrain yourself these two days and don't cause any trouble for me."

　　"Also, Xiaomei, ask Caihe (the eldest daughter-in-law) to keep an eye on her."

　　In the past few days, he heard that Ye Anyian and Jiang Zhu were going to town more and more frequently, and he felt a little panicked, wondering what they were up to.

　　"Who will do all the work at home?" Wu Xianglian was a little unhappy, "It's fine if I keep an eye on Xiaomei."

　　"I didn't find out about my brother selling things in Clay Figurine Lane that year."

　　Ye Quan said nothing, smoking a cigarette.

　　Seeing the gloomy look on his face, Wu Xianglian knew that there was nothing left to do, so she turned around and left.

　　Ye Quan spoke slowly: "You can go, but remember, don't cause trouble. Don't interfere with anything you see them doing, and don't argue with them. Come back and tell me."

　　The eldest daughter-in-law is timid and fearful, so he is really worried about it, and the second daughter-in-law has a child in her belly.

　　After thinking about it, I still have to blame him for being such an annoying old woman.

　　"Hey!" Wu Xianglian laughed immediately, "I know. Look, I just followed them quietly last time."

　　Ye Quan ignored her, turned around and entered the house with a pipe in his mouth.

　　…

　　In a blink of an eye, the day came for the appointment with Wei Feng to go to town.

　　Ye Annian, Jiang Zhu and Ye Xiaomei packed their belongings and waited for the bullock cart under the old locust tree at the door.

　　Not long after, Zhou Liang drove a bullock cart slowly out of the village.

　　Ye Annian caught a glimpse of Wu Xianglian and Ye Anbai who were sitting in the car.

　　He frowned in disgust and turned away, but happened to catch Jiang Zhu's gaze.

　　Jiang Zhu smiled and winked at him.

　　Ye Anyian:...

　　When the bullock cart approached, the three of them got on.

　　This time, Ye Xiaomei took the initiative to greet the two of them.

　　"Nai, what are you doing with Amber?"

　　Wu Xianglian snorted from her nose. She wanted to make a yin and yang sentence, but she remembered what Mr. Ye said.

　　He just said: "Take Amber to go shopping on the market. Are you going to sell clay figurines again?"

　　Ye Xiaomei glanced at Ye Anbai and said nothing.

Wu Xianglian noticed her gaze and immediately became unhappy.

　　What kind of look is this? Why are you guarding her grandson?

　　"No one cares about clay stuff." She rolled her eyes disdainfully.

　　However, she was not curious about it, but Ye Anbai, a child, was very curious about it.

　　The child shook Wu Xianglian's sleeves and moaned: "Breast, I want it, I want it! I want a clay figurine!"

　　Wu Xianglian had a headache. Before coming out, Ye Quan specifically told her not to cause trouble.

　　But seeing her eldest grandson's expression as if he was about to cry, she still spoke.

　　"Brother Nian, let your brother play with the clay figurine you made."

　　"Okay." Ye Anyian agreed happily.

　　Wu Xianglian felt relieved and asked Ye Anbai to get it by himself.

　　The child reached out to the basket in Ye Anyian's hand, but was held down by Ye Anyian: "One for three coins, two for five coins."

　　"Why do you still want money?" Wu Xianglian's face suddenly collapsed, "They are all family members, why are you giving it to your brother to play with?"

　　"You and I are not from the same family." Ye Anian said in an indifferent voice, "Would you like to buy it? If you buy it, you will get the money."

　　Wu Xianglian's heart was choked, and she said with a distressed look: "Brother Nian, why are you like this now?"

　　Ye Anyian was too lazy to act with her, so he ignored her.

　　"Wow! Ooooh, I want it! I want a clay figurine!"

　　Ye Anbo didn't get the gadget she wanted, so she started crying as soon as her mouth flattened.

　　His chubby little hands firmly grasped Wu Xianglian's sleeves and shook them vigorously: "Brother! I want a clay figurine! Give me a clay figurine!"

　　"Oh, don't cry, don't cry, my dear grandson, don't cry!"

　　Wu Xianglian felt heartbroken when she heard Ye Anbai burst into tears. She wiped her tears and took out candy from her pocket.

　　"Can you please have some candy? We don't want to play with clay figurines, how dirty they are!"

　　"I will not eat!"

　　Ye Anbo angrily slapped her hand away, and the piece of maltose flew out.

　　Wu Xianglian felt distressed, but Ye Anbo was still crying.

　　"I want clay figurines! I want to play with clay figurines! Both rocks and Chen Lingling have them, so I want them too!"

　　He cried so much that there were two villagers sitting in the car, and they all frowned in disgust.

　　"What if you gave him one! He is your brother, and he is still a child!"

　　While Wu Xianglian was busy coaxing Ye Anbai, she glared at Ye Annian.

　　Ye Anyian still said the same thing: "Take the money."

　　Wu Xianglian was so angry that she heard Jiang Zhu speak in a warm voice: "I don't need money, do you want it?"

　　Upon hearing this, Ye Anbai immediately stopped crying, shook Wu Xianglian's hand and said, "Yes!"

　　"Breast! I want it! I want it!"

"I want it!" Wu Xianglian said quickly, while rolling her eyes at Ye Anyian, "Look at me!"

　　Ye Annian gave Jiang Zhu a cold look, but Jiang Zhu smiled and said nothing.

　　He took off the bag from his waist, took out something from it, and put it in Ye Anbai's hand.

　　Ye Anbai took it happily, and then, a piercing scream sounded from the bullock cart.

　　"Ahhh shit!"

　　"Tits! Shit!"

　　Ye Anbai stared at the lump of cake in his hand that had become hard in horror, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

　　He raised his hands and approached Wu Xianglian. When Wu Xianglian saw him, she was so shocked that she flew away and hid behind her nose.

　　Everyone else in the car also went to the corner one after another, staying far away from the grandfather and grandson.

　　Ye Anbai still held the piece of muddy stool in his hand, and threw it towards Huan while crying loudly.

　　The people in the car immediately took a breath and moved aside.

　　Although he knew it was fake, Jiang Zhu still put out his hand to block Ye Anyian.

　　Then, with the sound of "bang", Wu Xianglian shouted "ouch".

　　In panic, Ye Anbai threw the shit on Wu Xianglian's face and hit her on the forehead.

　　The child couldn't hold back the force she used when she was panicking, and the blow made her forehead turn red and make a big bulge.

　　Wu Xianglian burst into tears from the pain. She cursed in her heart, felt the hardened stool that had fallen on her body, and hurriedly threw it away.

　　After this incident, Ye Anbai didn't dare to ask for any more clay figurines. He rubbed his eyes and sobbed while crying. After crying for a long time, he realized that the lump seemed to be fake and made of clay.

　　Now, he wanted to cry even more.

　　However, as soon as he opened his mouth and before he could cry, he saw Jiang Zhu looking at him with a smile. He was so frightened that he shut his mouth numbly.

　　The naughty child was completely honest, Wu Xianglian did not dare to act like a monster again, and the rest of the journey finally stopped.

　　When they arrived at Tianshui Town, Ye Annian and the others got off the oxcart and went straight to Youke Lai Restaurant.

　　Wu Xianglian came to town this time just to keep an eye on them, so she naturally followed Ye Anbai quietly.

　　She thought that after watching Ye Anyian and the others find a place to set up a stall in Clay Figurine Lane, she would take Amber to go shopping on the market.

　　Unexpectedly, these three people did not go to Clay Figurine Lane at all, but went straight to Youke Lai Restaurant.

　　Wu Xianglian hugged Ye Anbai and hid under a big tree not far outside the restaurant when guests came. When she saw Ye Anyian and Jiang Zhu taking Ye Xiaomei into the restaurant lobby to sit down, she started to call the waiter to order. She was furious. His face turned pale.

Sure enough, the clay salesman was just a pretense, and these three people actually had money to come to the restaurant to eat? !
