Parents are busy farming

The girl retorted unconvincedly: "Look at her following Madam Hong closely. I wonder what she wants to do? She must have gained a lot of things today. Only a poor person like her can behave like this."

At this time, another girl's voice came, "That's not the case. When people like us give gifts, we will also consider the other party's status. Even if we have to give gifts for the sake of face, I guess the elders won't give anything good. You can't make a fortune with these things."

The original girl responded: "What do you know! Not to mention there are so many people, even an ordinary piece of jewelry is enough for a farmer's family to eat and use for a year. What's more, there are so many!"

However, the girl who was pushed back by her said disapprovingly: "How can a girl from a farm family have such courage? I'm afraid she wouldn't even know where to put her hands after seeing such a scene!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel over a guest from the Hong family, the people nearby quickly took the two to different seats and let them play their favorite games.

In fact, it is a very common phenomenon that some people tend to become arrogant and willful because of their strong family background.

But the most troublesome thing is that when two people with similar family backgrounds dislike each other, it often causes a lot of trouble, and this situation is particularly common among people like them.

Ye Zifen doesn't care about the trivial matters between these girls.

At this moment, she had rested for a while and stopped sitting. Instead, she called the maid in the yard and asked about the situation of Wang Chuanxing and Wang Chuanshan.

She asked, "Do you know the current situation of the two cousins?"

The maid replied respectfully, "I don't know the details, but sometimes the sisters would talk about the two cousins."

Ye Zifen nodded and then asked, "Do you know what Master Chuanxing was busy with after the examination?"

The girl smiled and said, "This question is easy to answer. People said that after the test, the eldest cousin will go to the old master's study every day, without fail!"

Ye Zifen nodded, thinking that this was indeed in line with her eldest brother's character.

She then asked, "What about the second cousin?"

The maid replied, "The second cousin works hard every day. It is said that he has been doing this since the last time the fourth cousin came."

Ye Zifen couldn't help laughing. It seemed that her second cousin was really working hard again.

She then asked, "Has the fourth cousin come here recently?"

The maid thought for a moment and said, "The fourth cousin comes here basically once every ten days, but I heard that he bought a house outside and lives there. Because of this, our old lady even went to look for him alone, but in the end she couldn't persuade him to come back."

Ye Zifen nodded to show her understanding.

She knew that her fourth brother might feel that his daily coming and going was not good for the Hong family, so he chose not to live here.

Moreover, she had also been to her fourth brother's house. The environment there was very nice and there was nothing to worry about.

The maids are also a small group. It won't take two days for Ye Zifen's words to reach Old Lady Hong's ears. Just consider it as a way to comfort the old lady!

Ye Zifen talked to the little girl for a while, and then there was a noise in the room. Ye Zifen stood up quickly and said to the little girl, "Go and prepare your toiletries."

After saying that, she quickly pushed the door open and walked into the room, only to see that Old Madam Hong had already sat up straight, looking at her with a smile.

Ye Zifen quickly smiled and asked, "Has grandma rested well?"

Madam Hong smiled and replied, "It's just to refresh yourself a little. It won't be too late to have a good rest after the guests have left."

Just then, the head maid from Old Madam Hong's yard and the maid from this yard walked in together.

Seeing this, Ye Zifen smiled and asked, "Sister, you came at such a good time. Grandma just woke up."

The maidservant explained as she cleaned Madam Hong's face, "Our old lady wakes up at this time every day. I didn't see her come back, so I thought I would go to the stage to check on her. But when I found no one there, I got anxious and looked around. I happened to see this maid preparing hot water, so I guessed it might be the old lady, so I followed her."

After hearing this, Ye Zifen couldn't help but praise: "The people around grandma are the most attentive. This way, grandma can worry less."

Old Madam Hong also agreed and said, "That's right!"

The two returned to their seats and continued watching the show, but there were not many people left in the audience at this time, only a few people who really enjoyed listening to the show were left.

After Madam Hong sat down, the old lady sitting next to her said, "You can't hold on any longer?"

Mrs. Hong smiled and replied, "I can't change my habit of taking a nap at noon. If I don't take a nap, I will feel uncomfortable all over."

The old lady nodded to show her understanding, and then said, "Yes, being able to sleep well is a blessing. At our age, not many people can sleep well!"

Her words seemed to have ulterior motives, and Mrs. Hong certainly understood the deeper meaning behind them.

Because the old lady's family happened to have a child who was involved in the investigation in the south, she came in person despite her advanced age. Her purpose was to understand the Hong family's views on this matter and hope to get some advice from old lady Hong.

Old Madam Hong beckoned Ye Zifen to come to her and asked in a low voice, "My sister's child has gone to the south, and now she is very worried. She wants to get some information from me. What do you think about this?"

Ye Zifen naturally knew the whole story, but faced with such a problem, she didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.

After all, she herself was in a dilemma. On one side was the old lady of the Hong family, and on the other was the person in highest authority.

Seeing Mrs. Hong's attitude towards her, Ye Zifen thought that this family should not be the kind of people who could not make sense.

So she thought for a moment and said, "As long as you continue to investigate cases diligently in the south, you don't have to worry about being liquidated, but the premise is that you don't take anything away."

This was the only reminder she could give.

Her voice was not loud, and under the loud sound of gongs and drums on the stage, only the three of them could hear it clearly, because their attention was focused on Ye Zifen.

The old lady's breathing paused, and Ye Zifen didn't even dare to say the reminder openly. It was obvious that this matter was very important.

This most promising child in her family, if something happens... then all the family's training of him will be wasted.

However, she didn't know the specific situation in the south, and she needed to discuss it with her family after returning.
