"Of course, I can't make the decision in this marriage..." Old Man Zhu felt guilty.

"You...won't do anything behind my back, right?" Ye Yuran narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little worried.

She just knew that when the news came back that Zhu San and Zhu Qi had passed the exams, someone would definitely take advantage of Lin Sanmei and Lin Simei, so she told them about their engagement as soon as they came back, so as to prevent anyone from tampering with them.

Could it be that this time, she got her "guess" right again?

"No... no, I just... drank with them a few times." Old Man Zhu said a little vaguely.

"How many times have you had a drink?"

"Isn't it that the third child and the old master passed the exam? When they were happy and wanted to take advantage of my blessing as the father of the exam master, they invited me to come and drink a few times...Really, we just drank a few times.

Back to the wine, nothing else." Old man Zhu was afraid that Ye Yuran would misunderstand, so he directly distanced himself from the relationship.

Ye Yuran stared at him for a while, feeling that he didn't seem to be lying, so he let him go.

As for the daughters-in-law of the Zhu family, Ye Yuran had already said before he took Lin Sanmei and Lin Simei away that he was taking them there to see each other. He was already prepared and there was nothing surprising.

.

At most, they thought that if Lin Sanmei or Lin Simei didn't take the bait over there, they would try harder here.

But since the mother-in-law said they were lucky, they had nothing to say.

Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu knew that Mr. Zhu was a little confused sometimes, and they were afraid that Ye Yuran would always cling to this matter, so they smoothed things over with a smile and talked about hosting a celebration banquet for Zhu San and Zhu Qi, as well as the immediate issue.

Monuments of merit and virtue, matters of worshiping ancestors.

As soon as the news came back, Zhu Lizheng and Patriarch Zhu came to discuss it with them. However, Ye Yuran had not come back at that time. They only discussed the general matter and planned to wait for Ye Yuran to come back to discuss the details.

When the second elder said this, Ye Yuran glanced at them and saw the flattering smiles on their faces. He immediately understood what they meant and felt helpless, so he followed their words and changed the topic.

It's not like Old Man Zhu made any mistakes, and she has nothing to hold accountable. These two elders just care about their own son too much.

well……

never mind!

At such an old age, she still has to worry about her son's affairs. Once she obeys, she will treat them as "filial piety" to them.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with Li Zheng and the clan leader tomorrow and finalize this matter." No matter which one it is, these things cannot be escaped.

Fortunately, these things have been done once before, and there are rules. When the time comes, just press on and pull up.

After talking for a while, Ye Yuran got tired and told everyone to go back and rest, and to stay and talk if anything happened.

When Mrs. Li went out, she reminded Mrs. Liu with her eyes.

Mrs. Liu felt a little aggrieved, but she really had to say hello to her mother-in-law's family in advance, otherwise it would not be that simple when her mother-in-law checked the account books and discovered the errors.

Everyone left, only Mr. Liu lingered there, and Ye Yuran was a little surprised.

"What's wrong, are you in trouble?"

"Yes... something happened." The word "guilty" was written all over Liu's face.

"What's up?"

"It's from my mother's side..." Ms. Liu hesitated at first, but when Ye Yuran patiently waited for her to say the beginning, the rest became easier.

Ye Yuran did not interrupt her and let her finish.

Then, Ye Yuran asked: "So, this matter has been punished, right?"

"Um!"

"Since the punishment is over, it's over, and I won't pursue it any further. If it happens again, I'll follow your rules. I only have one rule. The more relatives you have, the more severe the punishment. Okay, you should be fine.

You can go back."

"Thank you, mother!"

Mrs. Liu quickly lowered her head and exited the room.

When she got outside, she patted her chest nervously, looking frightened.

Really, she didn't expect that her mother-in-law would let it go so easily. She thought she would punish her again if she knew about it.

He shouldn't stay in the main courtyard here for too long, so he quickly returned to his own courtyard.

"Why are you here?!"

As soon as Ms. Liu entered the door, she saw Ms. Li and several other sisters-in-law sitting in the yard eating melon seeds.

"You came back so soon?" Ms. Li was surprised, "What did mother say? Did she say how to punish you?"

Others also looked over, looking concerned.

Mrs. Liu said: "No, mother said that since I have been punished, the matter is over."

"That's good. It scared me to death. I thought..." Mrs. Li didn't finish her sentence. She looked at Mrs. Liu and said, "Thank you for reminding me. When you first went out, were you ready to come with us?"

Do you want to leave? No matter how big or small the matter is, you must show your face in front of mother in advance. Don’t wait for mother to find out. If you take the initiative to explain it yourself, the treatment will be different from the treatment you will get if mother finds out later. Do you understand? "

Ms. Liu was a little awkward, but she still said thank you to Ms. Li.

"I accept this thank you. After all, you are also my second sister-in-law, and the Five Treasures are my nephew. Even if I don't look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, I can't watch you being stupid." Mrs. Li said, "This matter

Although it has passed, it can still teach us all a lesson.

It’s better to stay less involved in the affairs of your parents’ family. If that doesn’t work, let the village’s upright clan leader come forward. Anyway, if you are upright and the clan leader comes forward, he won’t get mercy from us. We don’t have to be like the rat in the bellows, suffering from both sides.

They are not human inside or outside..."

The Zhu family's life is pretty good now, and Mrs. Li's life is very comfortable. She really doesn't want to cause a lot of troubles because her mother's family is not sensible.

It is rare for them to achieve something when their mother-in-law is not around, just to show their face in front of her mother-in-law and let her know that they are also capable of doing great things and do not want to be ruined by others.

Ye Yuran didn't know this. After Mr. Liu left, she called over several of her informants who had stayed in the Zhu family and asked them one by one.

After asking, it was already getting late. She looked at the sky and went back to her room to take a nap.

Not long after, Zhu Bamei came back from school. Like a child, she brought back a bunch of babies.

These children didn't want to go back to see their parents at all. When they heard that their grandma was back, they pestered Zhu Bamei without saying a word and wanted her to take her to see her grandma.

No, just when the maid reported to Ye Yuran that Miss Eight was coming, a group of children surrounded Zhu Bamei and swarmed into the house.

"Grandma, grandma, I miss you!"

"Grandma, my grandson misses you so much!"

"Grandma, you are finally back."

…

A group of children hugged Ye Yuran's legs and raised their happy faces.

Seeing these cute little faces, Ye Yuran's fatigue suddenly disappeared. He reached out and pinched each of the little bun faces, and said with a smile: "Really? I really miss my grandma. I'm afraid I don't miss my grandma's stories."

?”

"No, I miss grandma."

"Yes, I just miss grandma."

…

The little buns nodded cutely one by one, with serious expressions on their faces.

"Well, grandma believes you, and grandma does miss you." Ye Yuran said with a smile, "Are you good during the period when grandma is away?"

"good……"

"Did you have a good time in class?"

"have!"

"Then what have you learned during this period?" Ye Yuran asked, and several small mouths started talking, telling her what they had learned.
