Parents are busy farming

After saying this, Old Man Zhang picked up his chopsticks and prepared to enjoy the fish his daughter had picked for him.

However, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was not right, so he slowly put down his chopsticks and looked at his wife with a serious expression.

He said in a firm tone: "The Vanguard Battalion has indeed made contributions, but how do you know that our son will definitely be rewarded? We can't be blindly optimistic, and we can't spend all our family wealth because of this uncertain news. Moreover, even if our son really succeeds, with your current behavior, he will only be embarrassed in the capital. Don't you know what kind of person you are? Do you have the vision to choose a wife for your son? Besides, you are also aware of the relationship between our son and the fifth lady of the Ye family, don't make trouble for yourself!"

When Mrs. Zhang Wang heard Old Man Zhang mention Ye Zifen, she immediately became emotional and shouted, "If my son is going to be a high-ranking official in the future, why would he marry that woman from the Ye family? She is not worthy at all!"

When Old Man Zhang heard this, his face turned very ugly. He was silent for a long time and finally sighed deeply.

He said helplessly: "Let the children handle this matter by themselves. As elders, it is best for us not to interfere too much in their marriage. No matter who our son chooses in the end, he will not listen to our opinions."

His son is very capable, and the person he wants to marry is definitely better than the one they like.

"Alright! That's it. Our family will not go to the capital. Even if our son really becomes an official, we two old people will stay in Lujia Village. As for the other children, if Gao Yi wants to help them, I have nothing to say, but you can't disturb her."

This was something Old Man Zhang had promised Ma Fengchun.

The matter has been settled by Old Man Zhang. As for what Mrs. Zhang Wang thinks, he no longer cares.

When Zhang Wangshi saw that Old Man Zhang started eating without saying a word, she knew that she would not be able to get the answer she wanted from Old Man Zhang.

However, she did not give up the idea of ​​going to the capital. She saw that his eyes were moving while he was eating.

Zhang Qiuyue's face is now full of disappointment.

What her mother had just said in the kitchen was so desirable, but now the flame of her beautiful dream had been extinguished by Old Man Zhang before it even began.

This made her feel very uncomfortable. She couldn't help but think of the grievances and discrimination she had suffered in the village before. She knew that the villagers said she was stupid and dumb.

How great it would be if I could live in Beijing!

But she also understood that her father's decision could not be changed, and she could only accept this reality silently.

On the other hand, Zhang Wang was secretly thinking about how to realize her wish.

She felt that as long as she could meet Gao Yi, she could convince him to take her family to the capital to live a better life.

So, while she ate, she secretly observed her husband and daughter, looking for an opportunity.

Finally, she came up with an idea...

Ye Zifen kept talking with the villagers from noon to dusk, until it was completely dark. The aunties in the village went back to cook, and the long conversation finally ended.

Ye Zifen understood their feelings. As parents, they naturally feel proud that their children are successful, so it is normal for them to say a few more words.

Ye Zifang and Liu Meng'er, who came back with Ye Zifen, saw this scene and hid in Ye Zifen's room early to wait.

When it was time for dinner, Ye Zifen hurried into the house.

At this time, the room was already crowded with people, including Ye Zifen's master Shangguan Ying, people from the second branch of the Ye family, Liu Wan'er and Pang Chao, and even Lu Zili had rushed over with his wife and children.

Of course, Ye Yongwang was also present.

In addition, several other wives of the teachers heard that Ye Zifen had returned safely from the sea, so they came to visit her and were persuaded to stay.

Everyone sat around the table, waiting for Ye Zifen to arrive and preparing to eat.

As soon as she entered the door, Ye Zifang couldn't wait to speak: "Sister, you've been so busy just after you came back, and you're chatting with people in the village. Now you're really a celebrity in our village! By the way, did you see Zhang Gaowu's mother at the entrance of the alley just now?"

It turned out that Zhang Wang thought she was hiding well, but in fact she had already been discovered by the Ye sisters.

Ye Zifen smiled and replied: "I saw it, but it has nothing to do with us. As long as she doesn't come to provoke us, let her be!"

In fact, Ye Zifen had already learned from her sister that Ye Ziwei had actually allowed Zhang Gaowu to join the caravan.

If it were her, she would not be willing to do so, but Ye Ziwei had already let people into the caravan, so she didn't say anything.

Now her most precious son was in Ye Ziwei's hands, and it was only because of her own pleading that he was allowed to enter the caravan. What else did she have to worry about?

Ye Zifen and Ye Zifang looked at each other, and a smile flashed in their eyes.

They knew clearly in their hearts that Zhang Wangshi was a typical bully who only feared the strong and bullied the weak.

Before, because Ye Zifen was considerate of Zhang Gaoyi's feelings and didn't want to argue with her, Zhang Wangshi thought Ye Zifen was weak and could be bullied, and often deliberately found fault with her.

However, ever since Ma Fengchun came forward on behalf of Zhang Gaoyi and not only apologized to them but also signed the share documents, Zhang Wangshi no longer dared to provoke them casually.

But Ye Zifen just doesn't want to have anything to do with such people.

Now, Ye Ziwei arranged for Zhang Gaowu to join the caravan, and Zhang Wangshi didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of angering Ye Zifen and affecting the future of her beloved son.

Maybe she was just worried that Ye Zifen would put trouble on her son!

Ye Zifen raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and smiled softly at Ye Zifang: "Don't pay attention to her, we just need to live our lives well."

After saying that, she turned around and warmly invited everyone to eat.

At this time, the dining table was filled with sumptuous dishes, all of which were prepared by Mrs. Feng.

When she learned that Ye Zifen was coming back, she started to get busy early and carefully prepared a table of sumptuous food, which took her a whole half afternoon.

Moreover, every dish is cooked according to Ye Zifen's taste preferences and are all her favorites.

The family sat around the dinner table, enjoying the delicious food and chatting happily about family matters. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Ye Zifen smiled at the wives of the masters and said, "The masters have all returned safely, but I arranged for them to go out to sea again, so they didn't come back. But don't worry, we have already known the route and the hidden dangers on the road after this trip. As long as we don't encounter extreme weather, there will be no problem. But this time, let them rest at home for two months after they go out and come back."
