Chapter 53: small hair
Chapter 53 A small fortune
Liu Zhihong's face was very ugly, blue, white, red and purple kept changing, as if he had overturned the palette, but he paid the money simply and neatly.
He is not like his mother, he is not so short-sighted that he wants to withdraw from the marriage and take advantage of the Ye family, and he does not have the distorted mentality of stepping on the Ye family.
This time he came to look for the Ye family. Given the bad relationship between the two families, he was already mentally prepared to be asked for money by the other party for breaking the agreement.
The reason why he temporarily got close to Ye Anlan and played the emotional card was because he suddenly realized that the strength of the Ye family was really a good card in this troubled world.
The era of the collapse of laws and regulations is a disaster for ordinary people who are unable to fight against natural disasters and man-made disasters and the powerful class who are vested interests.
No one dared to assert that the Ye family would not become one of the dignitaries born in the reckless in the new dynasty by chance.
Liu Zhihong is a very utilitarian person. In order to have a smooth official career in the future, he can do everything possible to marry a family daughter. Now, in order to avoid enmity with the Ye family, he can naturally repair the relationship with his ex-fiancee's family with the cheek.
He just never dreamed that Ye Anlan, who had always been gentle, honest, dignified and steady, would become so shrewd and pungent in such a short period of time.
There was no sadness, reluctance, regret, and soft-heartedness as he expected, but only disgust, contempt, and uncharacteristically aggressive, which really caught him off guard.
For the first time, he deeply realized that Ye Anlan had really changed. Not only did he no longer have any feelings for him, but his personality was also different from before. He could no longer control the other party's emotions based on his inherent impression.
Realizing this, Liu Zhihong immediately took out the banknote with interest, and calmed down.
He originally wanted to hand over the bank note to Ye Anlan, but Ye Jinkui who came over took it.
Ye Jinkui had a dark face, "I don't ask you Liu family to repay your kindness, but I ask you Liu family not to disturb our family in the future."
Liu Zhihong agreed, hid his face and retreated, Ye Jinkui went to close the gate of the courtyard, "Okay, don't be angry, go and do what you should do."
Ye Anlan smiled slightly at him and Li Shi, "Then I'll go wash up."
Ms. Li was pushed back into the kitchen by Ye Jinkui. While she was cooking, she and Aunt Su denounced the hateful Liu family.
Latecomers who don’t understand the situation, after listening to these two people talking about each other, they finally gradually figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
Wang Tai murmured to Pei Huaixiu in a low voice while squatting, "I'm afraid that man is blind. She is such a powerful person, and he is willing to break the engagement with her."
Pei Huaixiu told him popular science, "No matter how powerful Miss Ye is, she is just a peasant girl. If that person wants someone to help him in the officialdom, it is indeed wise to marry an official family."
"What did you say?!"
"Which side are you from?"
"You ungrateful little boy!"
“.”
Pei Huaixiu just made an objective evaluation based on facts, which directly aroused the glaring stares of all the people present. The group of people headed by Ye Song and Yang Xiaotao began to condemn him.
Pei Huaixiu was frightened, his little servant Qingchun rushed over to protect his son, "My son didn't say that Liu did something right, he just helped everyone analyze that guy's dirty psychology."
Everyone stared at the pair of master and servant in doubt.
Qing Chun hurriedly tugged Pei Huaixiu's sleeve secretly, "My lord, please say a few words."
Pei Huaixiu took a small step back, "Qingchun is right."
He is an unsophisticated person, all his ingenuity is used to light up his natural skills in reading, and his wit has never been revealed in his daily dealings with people.
Before he resolutely left the Pei family, his older brother Pei Huaiyu was heartbroken by this characteristic of him.
Later, the reason why Qingchun, who had no talent in reading and martial arts, but was exceptionally clever, was assigned to him, so that Qingchun could help save the situation at critical moments.
Once the situation is wrong, Qingchun will expressly and implicitly prevent Pei Huaixiu from continuing to make people unhappy.
This also led to Pei Huaixiu subconsciously agreeing with Qing Chun every time Qing Chun's tone changed—even though he didn't know where he was wrong.
"Okay, don't be angry." Ye Anlan came over to smooth things over, "Huaixiu isn't talking bad about me, he's just stating an objective fact. If you don't believe me, you can wait for the martial arts training to end before letting him continue to finish his speech. "
Having been together for so many days, Ye Anlan has already noticed that this kid likes to speak straightforwardly and strives for objectivity.
She drove everyone to continue practicing martial arts, while she walked back and forth, giving pointers occasionally.
After Ye Song and Yang Xiaotao, who were the most persistent, finished their morning exercise, Ye Anlan took them to have breakfast.
What she didn't expect was that the children surrounded Pei Huaixiu again while washing and wiping off their sweat.
Ye Anlan was both moved and helpless, and she didn't care about these people, "Mother, since I have an unexpected harvest today, I will go to the street to buy some food, medicinal materials, and salt later."
They now have a total of ten taels of gold, more than twenty taels of silver, and a fifty taels of silver note. If Liu Zhihong hadn't happened to bump into her gun, Ye Anlan would have to be more careful when spending money. After all, their migration path Not even a third of the way through.
With so many mouths waiting to be fed, Ye Anlan, the "big sister", has truly experienced what it means to support a family.
But now that she has the two hundred taels of silver sent to her door by the beneficiary, Ye Anlan's courage to spend money suddenly became stronger again.
After breakfast, she took Yang Xiaotao, Zheng Fengshou, and Ye Song to the street together.
Ye Wei and Ye Tang were very nervous, one of them was pulled by Yang Xiaotao, the other by Ye Song, and the front and back were Ye Anlan and Zheng Fengshou respectively.
A group of people met the scrutinizing and wary eyes of the local residents who hurried past, and strolled slowly in Yuyang County.
Although the streets were not as lively as before the war, they were somewhat better than yesterday when they first entered the city.
People are forced to take to the streets to make a living. There are slightly more people looking for work and setting up stalls than yesterday.
The only bad thing is that strangers still belong to the unwelcome group.
Ye Anlan and the others wandered the streets for a long time, and the only people who talked to them were hawkers or shop assistants who were open for business.
Those passing people all treated them as scourges.
In the afternoon, Ye Wei and Ye Tang, who felt too much hostility, all stayed in their temporary residence, and Ye Song, who loved his sister, also took advantage of the situation to stay.
Ye Anlan took her two younger sisters around for nearly two hours, and bought a lot of things for them and the left-behind family members. On the other hand, she took Yang Xiaotao and Zheng Fengshou and went straight to the shop she entrusted to find people yesterday. .
