The happy little days of the Ye family

After the ground is plowed, the next step is to transplant the rice seedlings.

Throughout the spring plowing, the Ye family and the Tang family had been busy for nearly a month.

After the spring plowing, Ye Xilin pulled a cart to the small back hill to collect pigweed as usual.

The sow at home gave birth to two more piglets some time ago. Now the piglets can also eat pig food. They eat more than one piglet every day.

Xiaohoushan is the outermost mountain in the village. On the road from the backshan to Xiaohoushan, except for people from the Ye family, there are almost no other people on the road.

Ye Xilin was dragging a cart along the road when a woman suddenly jumped out from behind a big tree and stopped in front of Ye Xilin.

Ye Xilin was startled, took two steps back quickly, and asked in confusion:

"Girl, is there something wrong?"

"You, don't you recognize me?" The girl looked at Ye Xilin sadly.

Ye Xilin blurted out, "Who are you? Why should I know you?"

This girl looked familiar, she should be from the village, but Ye Xilin was sure that he had never spoken to her, and he didn't know her either.

It's still a bit cold in spring, so he has to put on a coat before going out. This girl is wearing a thin summer dress, and something doesn't look right at first sight.

Ye Xilin suddenly became alert and quietly took another step back.

"I am Ye Qiaoqiao, the youngest daughter of Ye Dashi in the village."

As soon as Ye Qiaoqiao mentioned Ye Dashi, Ye Xilin knew who it was.

Ye Dashi is a well-known second-rate boy in the village. When he was young, he spent all day doing nothing, either drinking or on the way to drink. It was the same when he got older, and no one in the village wanted to see him.

Ye Xilin heard that Mrs. Ye said that Ye Dashi had three daughters and two sons. The eldest daughter and the second daughter were sold to wealthy families in the town as concubines.

And Ye Dashi's youngest daughter is this Ye Qiaoqiao.

Ye Qiaoqiao overheard his father saying that he wanted to sell her to the town to be a concubine for a wealthy family.

In order to get rid of the fate of being a concubine, Ye Qiaoqiao has been appearing in Ye Xilin's usual places recently to meet him by chance.

The two have actually met several times recently, but Ye Xilin didn't notice Ye Qiaoqiao at all and walked away every time they met.

Ye Qiaoqiao overheard yesterday that the matchmaker would come to her door tomorrow and she had no time.

Ye Xilin was Ye Qiaoqiao's life-saving straw. Ye Qiaoqiao suddenly knelt in front of Ye Xilin.

Ye Xilin was frightened and was about to go back while pulling the cart. The man and the woman alone were most likely the immortal dance that Ye's father had mentioned.

Seeing that Ye Xilin was about to leave, Ye Qiaoqiao quickly grabbed him, but Ye Xilin dodged him and only held the hem of his clothes.

Ye Qiaoqiao tightly grasped the hem of Ye Xilin's clothes and cried softly.

"Brother Xilin, my father said that he will sell me to the town to be a concubine. Please save me. I don't want to be a concubine."

"Miss Ye, we are not relatives. I can't help you. You might as well go back and ask your mother. Your mother will definitely help you."

In the Ye family, whether it was his eldest brother's marriage or his sister's marriage, it was Ye's mother and Mrs. Ye who made the decision. Ye Xilin's first reaction was to ask the girl to go back to his mother.

"I, my mother can't control my father at all. My father will beat my mother and me whenever he drinks. I beg you, please save me."

Ye Qiaoqiao cried very sadly, and her tears kept falling.

"I, I don't have the ability to save you. If it doesn't work, just go to the village chief. The village chief is fair and will definitely help you." They are not relatives, so there is no point in looking for him.

Ye Qiaoqiao shook her head, "It's hard for an upright official to handle household affairs, and there's no point in asking the village chief. Please save me. As long as you are willing to marry me, I won't have to be a concubine."

When Ye Xilin heard that the girl wanted him to marry her, he was so frightened that he immediately pulled back his clothes, got on the cart and ran away.

This Ye Dashi is a scoundrel. If this girl relies on him, let alone him, the entire Ye family will not be in peace in the future.

They didn't know each other at all, and Ye Xilin wasn't stupid. It was impossible for him to use his lower body to "rescue" someone he didn't know.

Seeing Ye Xilin turn around and run away, Ye Qiaoqiao pulled down the loose collar with determination.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xilin had already turned his back to her and ran back.

"Brother Xilin, brother Xilin, wait for me."

The more Ye Qiaoqiao yelled, the more frightened Ye Xilin became and the faster he ran.

Seeing that Ye Xilin had run away, Ye Qiaoqiao stamped her feet and cursed: "Ye Xilin, you stupid goose, you deserve to be unable to marry a wife."

Ye Qiaoqiao actually looks pretty good, otherwise she wouldn't have been chosen as a concubine by a wealthy family. However, Ye Dashi's reputation was so bad that no one in the village dared to marry her.

Ye Qiaoqiao originally thought that with her beauty, she could attract Ye Xilin to rescue her from the fire pit, but she didn't expect that Ye Xilin was so incomprehensible to the amorous feelings and pretended not to notice her several times when they met by chance.

Today she begged directly in front of me and ran away as if she had seen a ghost. Ye Qiaoqiao was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Ye Xilin dragged the cart and hurried home.

"Xilin, didn't you go to kill pigweed? Why did you come back so soon?" Mother Ye felt a little strange when she saw Ye Xilin.

Ye Xilin quickly took Ye's mother to Mrs. Ye's house.

"What's wrong? What happened."

Seeing Ye Xilin's solemn face and sweating profusely, Mrs. Ye immediately guessed that something must have happened.

Ye Xilin told Ye's mother and Mrs. Ye exactly what happened when he met Ye Qiaoqiao on the road.

Ye Xilin had never had much contact with girls, and this was the first time he encountered something like this. He didn't know what to do, so he had to run home quickly.

But Ye Xilin knew that Mrs. Ye was powerful, so he would definitely be able to help him solve the problem by asking Mrs. Ye.

"You did a good job. If you encounter these shameless people again next time, run away quickly and don't say a word to them."

"You should never mess with this kind of family. Ye Dashi and his two sons are simply scoundrels and second-rate people."

"Then Ye Qiaoqiao's mother is weak and incompetent, and Ye Qiaoqiao is a scheming person. I definitely cannot marry such a person back."

Mrs. Ye is very familiar with the affairs in the village, and she is also very familiar with the affairs of Ye Dashi's family.

Ye Xilin was so frightened by Ye Qiaoqiao that for several days he had to take Mrs. Ye with him when he went out to hunt pigweed.

He was really afraid of that girl. Although he didn't mean anything to her, she was scary.

If she was deliberately playing tricks and spreading rumors in the village, he wouldn't be able to wash it off even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

However, Old Mrs. Ye was not a vegetarian. She immediately went to the Autumn Harvest Lady and some women in the village who liked to gossip, and told them that Ye Qiaoqiao was going to the town to be a concubine.

Not long after, everyone in the village knew that Ye Qiaoer was going to the town to be a concubine.

At the same time, Mrs. Ye also released news that she wanted to show Ye Xilin a visit.

Then Mrs. Ye went to the village chief's house again and told the village chief about Ye Qiaoqiao's actions today. If they were tricked into their house, the village chief would not sit idly by and ignore it.
