On this day, Zhao's mother suddenly came to the house, and the marriage of Zhao Xiuwen and Ma Qiaoyun was decided on the eighth day of the next month.

Zhao Ye was a little surprised and said, "It's only a few days away! Are you in such a hurry? Have you prepared everything for the wedding?"

Mother Zhao laughed, "Don't worry, they are both not young anymore, it's better to get married soon. My brother-in-law even asked someone to calculate the date."

"After your third brother gets married, your father and I will have our last worry solved. Sigh! In the blink of an eye, you have all grown up, and you will soon become a father."

Mother Zhao suddenly became sentimental. She held Zhao Ye's hand and said with difficulty, "Brother Ye, it was all my fault. I didn't let you live a good life when you were at your mother's house. Don't blame me. But fortunately, you are now married to a rich man who loves you and you are pregnant. If you give him a son, you will enjoy a happy life."

As she spoke, she was about to cry, so she quickly sniffed and forced a smile, "Hey, why am I saying this? I'm obviously here to give you two good news."

Looking at the white hair in his mother's hair, the wrinkles on her face, the red eyes and the forced smile, Zhao Ye felt uncomfortable.

It's not that he is a mean person. In this era, especially in the village, some families will throw away the baby they give birth to, or sell it when it is a few years old.

When that incident happened to him, some mean-spirited and old-fashioned people in the village wanted to drown him in a pond, but his mother chased those people with a kitchen knife like crazy, and no one dared to mention drowning him in a pond after that.

She favors boys over boys, she despises the poor and loves the rich, she would be disgusted by the fact that Ye Ge'er, who had gotten into trouble, could not get married and brought shame upon her, she would marry her Ge'er to the old man for the sake of her son, but she would also fight with others if they wanted to kill her child.

She had never been a good mother, but Zhao Ye couldn't completely hate the person who gave birth to and raised him.

In the past, Zhao Ye would often wonder painfully why his parents loved him the least among all their children and why they married him to an old man. He would sometimes fantasize that one day his parents would apologize to him and praise him as the best child.

How would he respond? Laugh happily? Complain hysterically to show that he did not forgive? He had thought about it all. Now that his mother had really bowed to him, his thoughts had changed.

Now her husband has given her true love and a home, and they will have a baby soon. It’s not that he forgives or not for the things that happened in the past, but he has let them go.

At this time, Zhao Ye just smiled and patted the hand that Zhao's mother was holding his hand, "Mom, don't mention the past. We will be fine in the future."

"Okay, okay, everything will be fine from now on." Zhao's mother quickly agreed.

"By the way, mother, does my husband and I need to help with anything for my third brother's wedding?"

Mother Zhao waved her hands and said, "There's no need for you. Besides, my brother and son-in-law are so busy, so the busy people in the village will help with the little work at home. Your eldest brother has helped them a lot in the past."

"On the day of the wedding, you two just need to come early. This time, the wedding will be held at the Zhenxiu Pavilion in town. It is said to be the largest restaurant in town. All expenses will be paid by my brother-in-law. He is really generous. How much silver will this cost!"

"Also, he has prepared a large house next to his home. Xiuwen and Qiaoyun will live there in the future."

Mother Zhao gestured happily, but then felt a little disappointed, "Ah! This makes it like marrying into the family. Xiuwen will have to live his life at the mercy of others."

Zhao Ye comforted her, "Mother, everyone has their own fate. Third brother has been studying for many years and has never farmed. He doesn't have any other skills."

"If he hadn't married Qiao Yun, he wouldn't even be able to support himself and his wife, and would have to go back home to eat your food every day. It's so much better now."

Mother Zhao thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. She became happy again, "You're right. Others want to live such a good life but can't. The fortune teller said before that he would enjoy a good life when he grows up. He was right."

"By the way, your third sister-in-law is very generous. She brought a lot of food and drinks for me and your father, as well as that donkey-hide gelatin, which is said to be very nutritious. Mom brought it to you today."

"Eat more so you can give your brother-in-law a big fat son, and he will love you even more. Alas! When I gave birth to you, your grandmother, that damn old woman, disliked you for being a boy and was reluctant to give me even an egg to eat. As a result, I had no milk during the confinement period, and you became as thin as a kitten."

His grandmother had been dead for so many years, but Zhao's mother still gritted her teeth when she mentioned her grandmother. Zhao Ye quickly interrupted her, otherwise his mother would have talked until dark.

"Mom, life is good now, don't think about the past, it will make you unhappy."

Mother Zhao sighed and said, "You are right. I won't mention it anymore. It's unlucky. Our family will have a good life from now on."

Then she continued to praise Ma Qiaoyun and how beautiful their house was.

Somehow, Sun Jiao came up during the conversation. Zhao's mother snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "She is so powerful now. She returned to her parents' home with her two children a few days ago. Your eldest brother went to her parents' home to pick her up twice but failed to bring her back."

"I told your brother not to go. I want to see how long she can stay at her parents' house. If she continues to treat her like this, I will ask your brother to divorce her."

Zhao Ye quickly advised, "Mom, your sister-in-law has been working hard at home these years, and she also gave birth to two children for your brother. Don't talk about whether to have a divorce or not. How about you go with your brother? Your sister-in-law will definitely give you this face."

Zhao's mother widened her eyes, "What? I went to answer it. I really gave her face..."

Although Zhao's mother said so, as far as Zhao Ye knew, it was Zhao's mother who took Zhao Tian and brought his eldest sister-in-law Sun Jiao back home before Zhao Xiuwen got married.

……

On the day of the transaction, Li Shao took Zhao Ye to the brokerage shop, but was told by the broker that the owner of the shop had changed his mind and would not sell the item even if the price was increased.

Li Shao was so angry that he wanted to take action.

Zhang Shun was also in a bitter mood. The seller changed his mind at the last minute, and he didn't have time to inform Li Shao. In order to calm him down, he could only nod and bow desperately, "Boss Li, I just found out about it not long ago, and I haven't had time to go to your house to tell you. I made you make this trip in vain. I shouldn't have done that."

"Please sit down and have some tea to calm down. I promise to find you a few better ones at a much cheaper price. I won't take my commission this time as an apology."

People in their line of work are well-informed. Although Boss Li lives in the village, the wine he makes in partnership with Boss Liu is booming and he's also a wealthy man. If they really offend him, they'll lose an important customer.

Li Shao snorted coldly, "They said they don't want to sell it, so they don't sell it? If they don't have a reasonable explanation, I will come to their door today."

In fact, he was not in a bad mood. What made him angry was that Ye Ge'er had been telling him these past few days how to decorate the shop and what kind of cakes to sell after he got it. Now Ye Ge must be very disappointed.

She raised her arms and hugged the person next to her. She saw that he looked a little disappointed, but he was fine soon. She comforted him, "Husband, don't be angry. If these two are not for sale, we will look for other better ones."

Zhang Shun also said quickly, "Yes, Boss Li, Mr. Li is right. There are many good shops. This kind of thing will definitely not happen next time."

Then he scratched his head and whispered, "In fact, I also asked the two sellers why they changed their minds. I annoyed them so much that they said that you, Boss Li, have offended someone and someone didn't let them sell to you. Otherwise, I'll make them pay."

"They are just ordinary people, timid and don't want to cause trouble, so naturally..."

Li Shao guessed that it must be Zuixian Pavilion again. It was as disgusting as a cockroach. Since it was a cockroach, it should be stepped on to death.

After calming down, he said softly to Zhao Ye: "Brother Ye, I'm not angry. You are right. There are many shops. If they don't sell, there are people who will. Let's go. We are already in town. We have to go shopping today and then take you to your favorite restaurant for dinner."

Zhao Ye nodded obediently and said with a smile: "Husband, I will listen to you."

Li Shao said to Zhang Shun, "That's it for this time. Keep looking for shops for me." Then he hugged Zhao Ye and left.

Zhang Shun kept saying from behind that he would promise to find a better one for him. Then he wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought, it seems that he needs to find a seller who has some background and is not afraid of threats. This is not easy to find. This business is really difficult nowadays!
