Mingmen Family

Chapter 5
The eldest daughter-in-law is the eldest daughter-in-law, personal character and talent are the most important things, and her family background should not be too poor, otherwise she will not be able to overwhelm other sisters-in-law.Therefore, he and Mrs. Ye selected carefully, and finally chose Tao's parents and daughters who also had land and tea gardens and knew everything about them to be the eldest daughter-in-law.

Yin's father, Yin De'an, was selected as a scholar in his 20s, and he was very hopeful that he could be admitted to Jinshi and become an official.Once admitted, the Ye family will have a backer in the officialdom.So even though the Yin family only had [-] mu of land and had no other income, and Yin De'an still had to study for the imperial examination, and his life was tight, Ye Chongming still tried every means to marry the Yin family for his second son.

The third daughter-in-law Cai's family runs a silk shop, and the business is not too big or small.

These three sons are all married to Ye Chongming and Mrs. Ye Zhang Luo.

When it was the turn of the fourth son, Ye Hongrong, before Mrs. Ye asked a matchmaker to help him, he himself fell in love with Zhang.

There is nothing wrong with Zhang's family background. Her mother's family is a salt merchant, and the business is not small.Speaking of which, the Ye family is not as good as the Zhang family in terms of family background.

The problem lies in Zhang's being a concubine.Her mother was originally a thin Yangzhou horse.Zhang's father is a lustful man, and his family has seven or eight concubines and more than a dozen children.Such a family must be full of smoky atmosphere, and the family style is not right.

But Ye Hongrong wanted to marry desperately, Ye Chongming and Mrs. Ye sent people to inquire repeatedly, but they didn't find that Zhang's family had some minor problems, but there was something wrong with the general direction.

Both of them thought that Ye Hongrong was the youngest son, so he didn't need to support the family business.For a father-in-law with a rich family, marrying a daughter-in-law with a large dowry is a good thing for him.So the two nodded in agreement.

After Mrs. Zhang came in, Mrs. Ye found that she was really fussy about things, she had to be sharp in everything, and she liked to play tricks.This is a result of growing up in such an environment where you have to fight for everything in order to get good things.This kind of habit and disposition developed in childhood, even if Mrs. Ye is careful to discipline her, it is difficult to reverse it.

In addition, her youngest son is not a worry-free person, and she can't get up enough to discipline other people's children. Although Zhang has many minor problems, he has nothing to do with major morals.So Mrs. Ye turned a blind eye and closed her eyes, too lazy to be so idle.

Zhang believed that her natal family was stronger than all the sisters-in-law, and the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law had no sons. Although the elder sister-in-law gave birth to the grandson of Ye's parents, she only had one son. In my heart, I don't like the three sisters-in-law very much.

On the other hand, only she is a concubine, for fear that her sisters-in-law will look down on her and be harsh on the inside, she has to take a tougher attitude than anyone else.

She didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Tao Shi, but she was showing off her might in front of Yin Shi and Cai Shi.

However, Mrs. Cai eats fast and recites Buddha in the yard all day long, and does not come out to walk around; Mrs. Yin is also a strong-willed and thoughtful person by nature.The contempt shown in Zhang's words and deeds seemed to be aimed at Yin's alone.At this time, Yin Shi was often very angry.

Ye Yaming pulled Yin Shi out of the house.

This is not the place for talking and bickering.

When she walked out of the main courtyard, she stopped and called Zhang Shi: "Fourth Aunt, what happened?"

"Hehe, the old lady won't let me tell you, Ming'er, don't embarrass my fourth aunt." Mrs. Zhang put on a embarrassed look.

"It's okay." Ye Yaming smiled, "I said that something happened at home, and I'll see if Brother Yi Feng can help. Now it seems that there should be nothing wrong, so I can rest assured."

As she spoke, she pulled Yin Shi and Ye Yayin: "Let's go, let's go back."

"Hey, wait a minute." Zhang called from behind.

Yin Shi wanted to stop, but Ye Yaming pulled her to continue walking, Ye Yaming said: "Mother, I haven't seen daddy for a few days, I will ask someone to call daddy back later, our family of four Have a reunion dinner."

Without looking back, Yin Shi could imagine Zhang Shi's stricken face, she suddenly felt better, and said loudly: "Okay, I will follow you and call your father back."

The second master Ye Hongsheng is not good at words, but has a very keen sense of taste. He is also a tea fanatic, and he is responsible for all the tea made by the Ye family tea factory.Because the tea factory is far away from home, he was impatient to run back and forth every day, and often lived in the tea factory.

Although he doesn't interfere with business matters, he is still the second master of the Ye family.Furthermore, the reason why the Ye family tea has become famous today is all due to Ye Hongsheng.As long as he is willing to intervene, he will not hide any matters in the family from him.

The old lady and the eldest room did not tell the second room what happened to the fourth child today, so Yin wanted to ask her husband to come back, so as not to be kept in the dark about everything.

"Second brother and sister, wait a moment." Tao, who came out from behind, heard Zhang's and Ye Yaming's witty words, and hurriedly called out to Yin.

Tao Shi is the eldest sister-in-law, and she gave birth to Ye Jiaxing for the Ye family. The old lady has always regarded her highly, and Yin Shi didn't want to give her face, so she had to stop.

"Fourth sibling, did you say it yourself, or did I say it?" Dow said to Zhang with a straight face.

Because the second room has no son, the second master is not capable, and the fourth master is the most favored by the old lady, so Mrs. Zhang dares to throw face at Mrs. Yin.But she dared not disrespect Dow.

She said: "Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to say it. You have heard the old lady's order. Don't let too many people know about this matter. If it gets out, our Ye family will forget about it."

"It's not about whether to talk or not, but whether to do it or not? I've done everything, but I'm afraid people will talk about it. The whole family is only guarding against our second room. Fourth aunt, I doubt what you and fourth uncle have done to our second room. Otherwise, why would we only hide it from our second room." Ye Yaming said.

Her cheap father didn't care about anything and stayed in the tea factory all day long; Yin had no son, and her own father was just a poor scholar who was ignored by the old lady and Tao, and looked down upon by Zhang, and secretly suffered a lot.

The original owner is the eldest daughter of the second family, and she has to protect her mother and younger sister. Although she looks soft and weak, in fact, she has the same temper as Yin's, and she has a hard temper, which is very strong.

Therefore, Ye Yaming doesn't have to suppress his temper and act timidly.

Zhang was startled, and was about to jump: "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't mean that..."

"Okay." Tao said coldly, stopping Zhang's words.

Zhang knew that she was wronged and did not dare to be tough, but she still refused to admit defeat and muttered: "A niece and junior, talking to elders like this is really uneducated."

But she spoke in an extremely low voice, and Tao Shi who was standing beside her could only hear indistinctly.

Dow guessed that Yin and Ye Yaming didn't hear it, so she didn't want to make more troubles, so she ordered the servant girl, "You all stand down."

The Mei family and the Tao family are very strict in running the family, and with just this sound, the maids and women all retreated into the distance.

Tao Shi said to Zhang Shi: "Let's talk."
