Chapter 22 The landlord's family has no surplus

Looking at the young and old in this family, Ye Xinyan really saw what a big family of three generations is like.This is because the uncle's daughter did not come back. If the second-ranked aunt's family came back, it would be even more lively, and she would be disturbed even more dizzy.

Among the grandchildren, only Qi Cheng is one year older than Ye Xinyan, and the other grandchildren are all younger than her.

Qi Younian introduced Ye Xinyan to everyone, and after seeing Ye Xinyan twice, the Qi family members looked at Ye Xinyan with some amusement.

According to Qi Younian's introduction, Ye Xinyan was a helpless orphan girl who couldn't live in her husband's house and went out with her.There was no one in his natal family, and he had nowhere to go, so he recognized his granddaughter.

After this introduction, the Qi family, who were originally quite enthusiastic about Ye Xinyan, looked at Ye Xinyan with a calm expression.

In this era, regardless of reconciliation or divorce, there will be no good reputation, and there will never be a good future.Generally, when a woman comes back from her husband's house and has a leisurely meal at her mother's house, her mother's house doesn't like to see her.

Wang and the two daughters-in-law complained a little about this second uncle, so come back as soon as you come back. After all, they are blood relatives, and even if they are raised, it is because of family affection.But with these two burdens brought back, why should the Qi family support them for nothing.They and the third uncle's family are also poor people, how can they support three idlers.

Looking at the granddaughter who came here, she also brought a wet nurse, and it seemed that she couldn't do the work.Although the second uncle said that he has the skills of a mason, but no matter how skilled he is, he is too old to do masonry work.

Together with the third uncle's family, they only have that little land. Could it be that besides supporting the second uncle, they also need to support two outsiders?

Regarding Ye Xinyan's identity, Ye Xinyan and Qi Younian had seriously discussed it, and originally thought of impersonating Qi Younian's granddaughter.But if this is the case, how can the series of stories about the son, daughter-in-law, and Ye Xinyan's husband's family come together?

After thinking about it, it's better to be straightforward and recognize them. As long as their grandparents are close, as for what others think, it will be another layer of relationship after all, and it doesn't matter much.

Originally, Qi Younian was afraid that he would be old and hard on the road, and he didn't know if he would be able to get home safely.Unexpectedly, after walking all the way, Ye Zi was good at calculating the distance and taking care of his diet. Later, he got a donkey cart. The journey of more than a month not only didn't exhaust his physical strength, but his body seemed to be more energetic.

Along the way, Qi Younian certainly has a heroic and responsible character, but Ye Xinyan really treats him like a grandfather and takes care of him meticulously.Qi Younian really regarded Ye Xinyan as his own granddaughter.

Now that he is in good health, he must make plans for the days ahead.Qi Younian didn't think about letting his two brothers support him. As long as he could do some activities, he wouldn't eat the rice at home, and he could earn some dowry for his granddaughter.As long as he can give his granddaughter some dowry before he dies, he can find a reliable husband's family for his granddaughter.

As for the Qi family's property, not to mention that Ye Xinyan didn't intend to take it, he himself didn't intend to worry about it.

The sister-in-law and the two nieces and daughters-in-law's expressions of complaint were particularly obvious. Qi Younian saw it and felt uncomfortable.He had nothing to do, he was just afraid that Ye Zi, his family, would be wronged.

Therefore, the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law asked her mother-in-law Wang in embarrassment: "Mother, it's getting late. The second uncle has been away from home for decades, and he just found it. We can't make do with today's lunch. How about I go to the landlord's house to borrow some?" Rice grains?"

Qi Younian heard that the words of his nephew and daughter-in-law had different meanings, so he wanted to speak up.

Before Qi Younian could speak, Qi Yougui preemptively shouted: "What are you talking about? My brother will eat you poor after a meal? Do you still need to borrow rice? Go kill three chickens and fry a few eggs. Steamed buns to eat."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said with a smile: "Why is the old man so angry? We don't have any decent food in our family. Zhuzi's wife wants to borrow some japonica rice and white noodles for his second uncle to eat. His second uncle finally found it. Can't we eat bran noodles mixed with wild vegetables like we used to do?"

Ye Xinyan held the water bowl and lowered her head to drink.Aunt and grandma are telling them that the Qi family is very poor and they have nothing to entertain them.

When Qi Younian saw that his elder brother wanted to reprimand him, he quickly said, "We are talking here, but we forgot that there are things on the donkey cart outside. There is no need to borrow rice or kill chickens. Ye Zi and I bought some food in the county town. We will leave the old man in a while." The San family is also called, let's have a reunion dinner together."

Neither the Wang family nor the two daughters-in-law moved. Looking at the clothes of the second uncle and the recognized granddaughter, they don't look like they are rich and have spare money.Although they didn't move the things on the donkey cart, they took a few glances, and they all belonged to poor families.

Besides, valuable things wouldn't just be left in the yard like that, would they?

Seeing the embarrassing scene, Ye Xinyan came down from the edge of the kang with a smile, "Grandpa, it's still early for lunch. Why don't you take advantage of Uncle He's presence and ask if there is any free house in the village, and find us a place to live first. Go early Set up a place to live, and my mother and I can go there earlier to clean up."

She turned around and said to He Quantai with a smile, "We used to do some business to make ends meet, but in the future we plan to set up a small stall in the county town to do business for a living. Maybe we won't live in the village for long, so it's best to rent two houses."

It turned out that the second uncle's family planned to start a business. In that case, wouldn't they share the house and property with them?Wang and the two daughter-in-laws breathed a sigh of relief, and their expressions softened a little.

Qi Yougui said displeased: "You child, how can it be so easy to find a house? Even if you find it, it will take time to clean it up. Needless to say, you and your grandfather just came back, and you will live in your uncle's house first, and rent a house Not in a hurry."

Qi Younian didn't say whether he could find the house or not, he just asked Ye Xinyan to get things, "Yezi, go and get the things off the donkey cart, and help my uncle and aunt arrange lunch."

"Hey, then chat slowly with your uncle and Uncle He, and I'll pack up the things in the car." After Ye Xinyan finished speaking, she turned around and called Grandma Jin, "Madam, come with me. .”

Seeing that Ye Xinyan offered to live temporarily, Qi Younian also said that she would do business in the county in the future, knowing that she was in the hearts of the young and old of Anqi's family, so that they would not have their own concerns and cause disputes.

It's good to do it this way, and there will be fewer conflicts if the room is divided.After paying out Ye Xinyan, Wang Shi and others, he patiently persuaded Qi Yougui slowly and asked He Quantai about the house.

The eyes of Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law met, and Nanny Jin saw them all.As she followed Ye Xinyan out, she couldn't stop feeling sorry for her young lady.The eldest lady was spoiled since she was a child, but she never expected that she would be so disgusted by others in this remote and remote place.

The Qi family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are obviously afraid that Mr. Qi and the young lady will share their property.Although the eldest lady said on the road, they earn money by doing business on their own, and don't want the property and houses of the Qi family.However, the eldest lady has been spoiled since she was a child, and the flower knots and tiaras from years ago are accidents within accidents, so where is there any way to make money?

With the help of Nanny Jin, Ye Xinyan took down a rough old basket and handed it to Mrs. Wang.Inside are the ingredients they prepared in the county, seven or eight catties of meat, two large ribs, two chickens, some rice noodles, and vegetables.

When Qi Younian was shopping, he estimated the population of the elder brother and third younger brother's family. These ingredients were enough for more than twenty people to eat.

Ye Xinyan took out a bundle from another basket. The skin of the bundle was so old that the background color could hardly be seen.
