Chapter 23

In the past two months, although Ye Zhen separated from the three brothers on the surface, Ye Zhen only "hired" them to do housework, digging the ground, clearing pigweed, washing clothes and other chores, but gave the three brothers daily chores. There is enough food, there is meat to eat, and I also make clothes and buy shoes...

Although there is no emotional expression, the tangible benefits cannot be erased.

If it is a part-time job, how can there be such a good salary?

The three brothers are not fools, in fact, they all know that Ye Zhen treats them well, they all approve of Ye Zhen, and they all think that Ye Zhen is not really going to separate from them.

But why, Ye Zhen is about to get engaged suddenly?
Ye Zhen, who is engaged, will get married in two years. Will the three brothers be gone by then?
After all, since ancient times, there has never been a sister who brought a few brothers to marry together? !
The expressions of the three brothers became serious. Ye Hong, who was only six years old, couldn't hold it back anymore. He grinned and began to cry, crying louder and louder.

They were all in front of and behind the house. Ye Zhen, who was cooking at Lu Chengze's house behind the house, soon heard the crying, and was startled: Why is Ye Hong crying?He has not cried for a long time!

what happened?

I didn't know until Ye Zhen went over to ask, and I couldn't laugh or cry: "What are you thinking about? I'm only 11 years old, and I'm still too early to get married!"

This is true, the first girl in the village to get married is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and Ye Zhen will not get married until two years at the earliest.

But it's only been two years!
Ye Hong was crying so hard that he was about to die: "Then... Big Sister... has become... kissed... so... don't want us?"

Although the other two didn't cry, their expressions were very consistent, asking with their eyes: Is this so?
Ye Zhen didn't want to talk about these things so early, but seeing the appearance of the three younger brothers, she thought about it, sat at the Eight Immortals table, and looked calm.

This obvious change made the three brothers feel different. Ye Hong's crying became quieter, obviously, they were all waiting for Ye Zhen to speak.

Ye Zhen waited until Ye Hong stopped crying, then looked at the three brothers and asked, "I know you are afraid of being abandoned, afraid that I don't want you, afraid that I don't care about you..."

"In the past two months, you have actually discovered that you eat better than before, dress better than before, and grow faster. In fact, your life is much better than before."

"You should also be able to see that it's not that I don't want to take care of you anymore. I just want you to do something and take some responsibility. Don't take it for granted that I pay, and it's only natural for you to enjoy what you get."

"But do you know why I use the method of dividing the family?"

The three brothers looked at each other in blank dismay, and some dared not speak. Although they had various guesses in their hearts, they were their own guesses.

After a while, the boss Ye Ying asked hesitantly, "Do you want us to stand on our own feet?"

Ye Zhen nodded: "Yes. Not all of them."

"In the past year, I beat and scolded and scolded, and asked you to do some things, even if it was to help me, but apart from getting better and better with you, are you willing to do housework willingly?"

Three brothers: "..." If you are willing, you don't have to make such a fuss.

"Why are you willing to do housework if you just change the way, just divide the family, and I hire you again?"

Three Brothers:"……"

It was still Ye Hong who was young and said what he thought of: "We can't find anything to eat outside."

Ye Zhen nodded: "Yes, because you went outside for an interview and couldn't find anything to eat. You tried all the methods, but it didn't work. You are hungry, but you can't find anyone else to blame."

"In the past, when you were hungry, you blamed me for my incompetence and for making you hungry; you took it as my task to eat enough. As long as you are not full, it is all my fault. But after the family is separated, you have to eat your own food." Let’s go find something to eat, if you’re hungry at this time, you can’t blame me.”

"Only if you have personally experienced how hard it is to make money and how hard it is to earn a living, you will not take all the responsibility for me. After all, I am only 11 years old." I am still a baby !
The three brothers were silent: Thinking about it now, they really blush.

The 11-year-old eldest sister Ye Zhen is even shorter than the ten-year-old eldest Ye Ying because she is a girl.

"I've said it a thousand times, but I didn't ask you to experience it yourself. The feeling of hunger, despair, and fear, I believe you have already deeply engraved it in your memory, right?"

Ye Hong, the youngest, shivered, his neck curled up, and he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I will never go hungry again! I won't want my brother to be beaten again!"

Ye Zhen looked at the thoughtful faces of the three children, and nodded secretly in her heart: finally she started to think for herself!

"Have you ever thought that when I couldn't find food before, I would not only be afraid, desperate, and hungry, but I would also be afraid of your accusations, your bad words, your eyes, and your revenge ..."

The three brothers bowed their heads in guilt, they remembered the wooden stick that fell on Ye Zhen's head from the door.Toes wished he could dig a hole in the ground and bury himself in it.

"What I just said is just one of them. There is another point, I didn't intend to tell you, but since you talked about this today, I was afraid that I would not want you, so I thought, let's talk about it."

The three brothers looked at her one after another, waiting for her to continue.

Ye Zhen sighed, and looked at the three children in turn: "Dad and mother have treated you well these years, right?"

The three brothers didn't speak, but their eyes were red.

The Ye family is also an ordinary rural person, and it is impossible for every meal to have meat, but the parents' doting on the three children is well-known in the village: the three brothers should not do anything outside the house, which is common in rural areas. is rare.

"If Mom and Dad knew that they would all go away suddenly, would they regret that they didn't teach you any housework or field work? Would they regret that they didn't teach you how to make a living?"

"If they know that once they leave, the few of us will eat the last meal without the next meal, will we regret not teaching you to be self-reliant as soon as possible?"

"If they knew that they would leave this world so early, of course they would regret it. But they think they can live for a long time, long enough for you to grow up, marry you, and have children...so they are not in a hurry , they thought, when you grow up, you will naturally become sensible."

"But there is a saying that things are impermanent. They didn't expect that they would suddenly disappear..."

"Woooooo..." Ye Hong began to cry, Ye Yu burst into tears, Ye Ying tried his best to endure, but his eyes were already red.

"Have you ever thought, if I hadn't woken up the day before the separation, if I had died, how would you three brothers have survived?" Ye Zhen's voice was still calm, so calm that it was almost cold.

"Woooooo..." Ye Hong cried even louder.

"So, after I woke up, I could only think about one thing: You three brothers must stand up by yourself, so that if I suddenly disappear one day, the three of you will not die of hunger!"

"That's why I proposed a separation."
