Parents are busy farming

After these old people returned home, the news spread quickly throughout the village as if they had wings.

Ye Yongwang also informed the villagers to come to the small square to discuss matters at night, just to prepare everyone.

A low pressure immediately filled the whole village, as if a storm was coming.

The first people to be found were the more than 20 families. Their families had gotten an advantage, so they couldn't just say a word!

Therefore, except for the Zhang family, other families came one after another.

After seeing Ye Zifen, they all started talking loudly and noisily.

Ye Zifen couldn't help but frown, her mood was as dull as the hazy weather.

She listened silently to the discussions of the old people, but she felt more and more aggrieved and helpless.

These old people had watched her grow up, and she always thought they were kind, but she didn't want some people to be so unreasonable in this matter.

Villager A: "Ye Yatou, thank you! You helped our family solve the problem of military conscription. Although our family may not necessarily provide people, we must pay for it. Thank you!"

Zi Zifen knew very well that Goudanniang was not a nice person to talk to, but she was worried about people going to sea and didn't bother to argue with her.

However, Zi Zifen didn't care about it, but someone next to him couldn't help but speak up for Zi Zifen.

Woman B: "I said you bitch, why can't your mouth spit out ivory? What did you say?"

Her tone was angry.

Woman C: "That's right, Miss Ye, don't listen to her nonsense. He is just a person who can't speak. Don't argue with her."

Woman Ding: "Girl, we are here specifically to thank you today. You let our children come to the training ground to train. Not only did you not get a single copper, but now you are also going out with the caravan to make money. To put it bluntly, it is a conscription." After conquering them, they have no way to escape. But you gave us new ideas, and we both thank you!"

Ye Zifen smiled and shook his head and said: "Mom, you are too polite. I just did what I could. I am very happy that your child can have a good future."

Woman B: "Yes! Yes! We discussed it and originally thought that we would pay for it ourselves, but you also know the situation in our family... Otherwise, we will deduct it from the children's wages when they come back. .what do you think?"

Ye Zifen felt warm in her heart. She knew the situation at their home, with many children and a very tight life.

She smiled and said, "No, since I agreed, I will pay for this part of the money."

Woman B said gratefully: "Sister Ye Zifen, you are such a good person. We don't know how to thank you."

Ye Zifen suddenly didn't want to hide anything from them anymore, so she said: "Actually, there is something I haven't told you all this time. Your children didn't come back this time. It's because they went to sea for something. It's not an ordinary sea trip, they went to a far away place. .”

Woman A said excitedly: "What? Didn't the court say there was a decree prohibiting going to sea? How could they go to sea? There is such a dangerous thing, why didn't you tell us in advance?"

Her voice was full of shock and reproach, as if she wanted to eat Ye Zifen.

The faces of the others also showed surprise, then worry, and they looked at Ye Zifen with a hint of reproach.

The expressions of Woman D and Woman B changed, and they asked in unison: "A place far away? Where have you gone? Why haven't you heard the children talk about it?"

Zi Zifen said: "I don't know the specific situation. They followed the caravan ship out. I heard they were going to a very distant sea area."

Woman B said worriedly: "Then when will they come back? Will there be any danger?"

Zi Zifen consoled her: "Don't worry, they are all following experienced captains. Moreover, they are very sensible and can endure hardships. I believe they will come back safely."

Woman Ding said: "But we are still worried. These children have never been away from us for so long, and we don't know how they are doing outside."

Woman A said angrily: "Why don't you stop them from going to sea!"

Ye Zifen said helplessly: "Not only do you not know about this, but I don't know about it either. The people from the caravan told me after they came back. By the time I found out, they had already left. This time they didn't listen. My arrangement."

There was a bit of remorse and helplessness in her tone, as if she had done something wrong.

When several women heard what Ye Zifen said, their faces showed embarrassment.

Woman B said apologetically: "Miss Ye...I'm...I'm really sorry. We wrongly blamed you."

Her voice was full of apology, as if she wanted to take out her heart to show Ye Zifen.

Ye Zifen shook her head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "I don't mean to blame anyone. After all, it's my fault for fattening their courage."

Woman C: "Miss Ye, it's really not your fault. We all know about our own children. I have caused you trouble!"

Ye Zifen sighed and said: "They went to sea. After all, there is a certain degree of danger. I don't know what the situation is like at sea, so I came with the worst plan. Don't mind me thinking this way. I will Arrange their affairs and you won’t have to fight anymore.”

Woman Ding: "Ms. Ye, I asked you to worry about it. By the way, I saw that the child from the Zhang family didn't come back. Did you also help pay for his child? Originally, we wanted to shout when we came here this time It’s from his family, but the old lady from his family didn’t say anything and didn’t come with us.”

Zi Zifen sneered and said: "Fortunately she didn't come. After she came, she didn't know how to mess with me here. She might even blackmail me for a sum of money! Alas! Those who didn't know thought I sent his son to die. Well, only you reasonable people know that I am also the one being bullied."

Everyone knew very well, but there were some words that were difficult to say directly, so the situation was a bit awkward for a time.

Ye Zifen didn't want to make the atmosphere too tense, so he relaxed the atmosphere and said, "Okay, everyone is aware of this matter. I won't say anything more. Let's all go back. In the evening, people in the village There is also the matter of conscription. Everyone should also consider what should be said and what should not be said."

Woman B quickly echoed: "Don't worry, Miss Ye! We know what to say and what not to say, aren't we bastards?"

Goudanfu was a little panicked. She had not thought about what to say, but she just felt that this matter could not be left alone.

So he quickly responded: "Ah, don't worry, I know what to say and what not to say. Look at me no matter what. Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense. How can a person like me talk nonsense?" !”

Ye Zifen shook her head helplessly, thinking to herself, you are the most stupid one.

After sending these people away, Ye Zifen went back to discuss with Ye Yongwang what to say in the evening, and the time passed unknowingly.
