Great Power Reclamation

Chapter 2547 The Grudges of the Old Generation

"Are there only so many people? I heard that the boss of the most famous meat processing factory here is also named Ye?"

Ye Shaoquan's expression changed, and he lowered his head and stopped talking. Ye Feng did not ask further questions, because he was afraid that people would say that the Ye family had become rich and no longer recognized people.

This kind of thing is very common. It is obviously because the family is poor that no one cares about them and no one helps them when they have problems.

As a result, when there was an opportunity to get rich, those so-called relatives swarmed in to borrow money.

If you don't lend me the money, all kinds of things will come out of your mouth, saying you are ungrateful and how good I was to you in the past.

The key is that many things do not exist at all, but if you talk about them too much, they start to believe them and regard themselves as your benefactors.

Ye Feng was afraid that he would burst into swearing when hearing such words.

  Unexpectedly, after Ye Shaoquan was silent for a while, he suddenly said:

"It was my grandfather who let down Ye Shaozu and his family."

Ye Feng was confused, not knowing what he meant by that. He also didn't know who this Ye Shaozu was.

Ye Shaoquan started talking to himself, and Ye Feng slowly opened his mouth. He accidentally learned a secret.

It turns out that Ye Shaoquan's father and Ye Shaozu's father are brothers. Ye Shaozu is Ye Feng's great grandfather.

However, Ye Shaozu's father died early, so Ye Shaoquan's grandfather took over all the family property and drove Ye Shaozu and his mother out.

Ye Shaozu's mother was from Xu Zhuang, so his mother had to take him back to her parents' home.

In the past, the Ye family was a wealthy family in Beiguan Village, and half of the land in Beiguan belonged to them.

However, Ye Shaozu's mother's family was very poor and did not want to take her and her son in.

Unexpectedly, Ye Shaozu's mother took out her own private money, 200 yuan. You know, at that time, yuan was a huge sum of money for the poor.

In this way, her parents gave her two adobe houses and two acres of dry land for her and her son to live in.

Later, Ye Shaoquan's mother died early due to overwork, and Ye Shaoquan lived alone from the age of ten.

Until he got married and had children, that is, he married Ye Feng’s great-grandmother.

The reason he was able to get married was the twenty dollars that Ye Shaoquan's mother secretly left behind.

After getting married, he had five children. The eldest was Ye Yuze Ye Wancheng, whose original name was Ye Zhangshuan. The second was Ye Tongshuan, who died at the age of seven.

Then came Ye Tieshuan, Ye Xiunü and Ye Lishuan.

There were too many children and the harvest from the fields was not enough, so Ye Shaozu started to do small business by pushing a wheelbarrow. Once, he was so hungry that he ate water plants from Baiyangdian Lake and died of poisoning.

At that time, Ye Shaoquan's father had already died. Ye Shaoquan was the head of the family. When he heard the news, he took the money and went to Xu Zhuang.

But at that time, Ye Feng's grandmother was so grief-stricken that she was unwilling to accept it. The two families never had any contact again.

After liberation, the class status was divided and Ye Shaoquan became a landlord, and suffered a lot.

Ye Wancheng's family was a poor peasant family. Later, they joined the army and were promoted to officers, and their lives changed drastically.

At this point, Ye Shaoquan burst into tears: "It's all about money, otherwise how could such a close family be like this?"

Ye Feng was also filled with sorrow after hearing this. Human nature never dares to be exposed to the sun.

Ye Feng knew that someone had been there when the great-grandmother passed away, so he asked, "You were there when the old lady passed away, right?"

Ye Shaoquan nodded: "I went there with more than 30 people here, and they didn't ask us to kowtow. We just accepted the gifts and came back."

Seeing the old man's face full of vicissitudes but not hunched back, Ye Feng felt relieved. After all, he still had a direct relative.

But he really didn't dare to acknowledge this relative. If his great-grandmother were still alive, he wouldn't even think about it. She hated this family so much.

  But great-grandma has passed away after all, and grandpa has an open-minded personality, so it shouldn’t be a big problem. But grandma is a die-hard fan of great-grandma, so I wonder if she can get through it?

I asked about Ye Shaoquan's family situation. His story was simple. Because of his background, he got married late and had only one son and one daughter.

The daughter married and moved to another village and is no longer with us, and the grandson no longer associates with them.

The son had two daughters. The eldest daughter married far away and rarely came home. The second daughter found a son-in-law to take care of her in her old age. Now he lives in her family and has also given birth to two daughters.

Ye Shaoquan sighed: "If there is no Shao Zuge's family, our branch will be extinct, but his people have not been buried in the ancestral tomb, and they no longer recognize this family."

Ye Feng didn't feel anything about these things. Don't people drink Meng Po soup after they die? No one knows each other in the afterlife, so what's the point of being buried anywhere?

Ye Feng was a little curious and asked, "Grandpa, if you two recognize each other, do you want them to move the grave back?"

Ye Shaoquan nodded: "At least their branch is thriving, and the fireworks will not be cut off. After I am dead, when they come to burn paper, they will also throw a bundle of fans in my honor."

Ye Feng didn't quite believe this kind of thing, but the man whom he called great-grandfather spoke so emotionally that he couldn't help but feel touched.

At this time, a teenage girl walked in, smiled sweetly when she saw Ye Feng, and then looked at him in surprise.

Then she acted coquettishly towards the old man: "Grandpa, wrap me a piece of plywood sausage, I'm craving it."

  The old man laughed out loud and dotingly blamed:

"A little girl likes to go into the water just like a man."

The little girl stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly, "Who said that only men can eat sausage? What's wrong with me liking it?"

The old man introduced Ye Feng: "This is my little granddaughter. Her mother was in her forties when she had her, and she raised her like a boy."

Ye Feng smiled and nodded: "If we talk about seniority, I have to call her aunt."

The little girl blinked her big eyes a few times, then stretched out her hand:

"Ye Di, nice to meet you."

Although Ye Feng is in his early thirties, he looks young. Since the girl is so generous and elegant, it is not easy to ignore her.

"Ye Feng, nice to meet you."

The little girl looked at him curiously and said, "Your last name is Ye too? I was wondering why you look so much like someone in my family."

The old man was stunned when he heard this. His eyesight was not so good and he could not see Ye Feng's appearance clearly.

When I heard my granddaughter say this, I leaned forward to take a look, and then I was stunned. They really look alike.

  He hesitated for a long time before asking:

"Are you from the Ye family in Xuzhuang?"

Ye Feng quickly shook his head: "I am from Tangcheng. I passed by here on my way back from Zaozhou. I heard that your donkey meat pancakes are delicious, so I came here specially to try them."

  The old man shook his head and didn't ask any more questions, but he was blinking his big eyes, thinking about something?

Ye Feng said goodbye quickly, mainly because he hadn't asked for permission yet, and it would be embarrassing if the secret was revealed.

However, he had a good impression of this great-grandfather, but he felt a little resistant to this little aunt. It was unfair that he had to call her aunt when she was half the age of him.
