Besides, in the Ye family at this time, after Wan Chengyao left, Ye Tiezhu and Mrs. Liu sighed on the kang, Erfu, Sanfu, Wufu, Bafu, and Jiufeng all went back to the upper room and sat on the kang.

There were several big gift boxes on the kang, and Sanfu smiled and asked when he saw it: "Mother, let me see what it is, is it okay?"

Every time Wan's family came, people were always empty-handed, either snacks or cloth, so Mrs. Liu didn't care, and nodded.

Sanfu opened the small box on the top, and stacked six silver ingots neatly.

"Mother, how much money is this?" Jiufeng screamed when he saw the things in the box.

Coincidentally, Mrs. Zhao wanted to enter the house at this time to inquire about Mai Xiang's engagement and resignation. Hearing this cry, she hurriedly opened the door curtain and went in, asking, "What money?"

"Oh, my mother, so much silver, how much is it?" Zhao's eyes looked at the silver, and not only her, but everyone in the room saw that the silver was all shining. The Ye family had never I have never seen such a large sum of money, except when Ye Tiezhu was a member of the flag.

"What are you arguing about?" Mrs. Liu hurriedly put it away when she saw it.

"Mother, is this the betrothal money for Da Ya?" Mrs. Zhao couldn't close her mouth, and she almost threw herself on the money.

"What money for engagement? That's money for divorce." Mrs. Liu bald as soon as she got angry.

"What? Retire? It's hard to find such a nice family with a lantern on. Why do you resign? What's wrong with my daughter?" Zhao yelled again.

"Shut up, ask Mai Xiang what you want to know." Liu was also angry, how did she expect the other party to give so much money?How many people in the family should be thinking about this money now?
"Mother, tell me, how much silver is this?" Mrs. Zhao asked again shamelessly, mainly because she had never seen five taels of silver ingots.

"30 taels."

"Oh, my old lady, I have not only the money for Wufu's marriage, but also the eight blessings and nine phoenixes. Mother, there are several gift boxes below. Let's see if there is any money left?" Mrs. Zhao stared at it again. Several large boxes below.

Liu guessed that there should be no more money, so it is better to let everyone take a look, so as not to know and guess.

Sure enough, the remaining four boxes, two boxes of snacks, and two bolts of satin.

"Mother, such a good silk will cost a lot of money, right? Why did the Wan family resign from our aunt? When did you marry the Wan family?" Mrs. Zhao quickly took a piece of pastry, while Asking while eating, he also said that this snack is delicious.

Seeing her heartless appearance, Mrs. Liu became angry, and just about to scold her, a few wheat seedlings swarmed in.

"Mommy, I want it too, I want some snacks too." The barley seedlings stared at the snacks in the gift box.

San Fu was quick, and before Mrs. Liu could speak, he took a piece for his son Mai Miao. Mrs. Liu gave him a stare, and had to give one piece to each of Maili and Maizhong.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhao lifted the door curtain and shouted: "Da Ya, Er Ya, come here quickly, Mammy has some delicious snacks here."

When Zhao called, Mai Xiang didn't move, and Mai Huang ran out first.

"Sister, mother told us to go eat some snacks." Seeing that Mai Xiang didn't move, Mai Qing said weakly.

Mai Qing had always been close to Mai Xiang before, but these days, she felt that her eldest sister was becoming more and more unfamiliar, and she was a bit afraid and afraid to get close to herself and her younger sister.

"Elder sister won't go, you can take the younger sister with you." Mai Xiang naturally saw Mai Qing's ambivalence of wanting to get close to herself but being afraid of getting close to herself. These days, she herself has not fully entered Mai Xiang's state. Can you always take care of them?

"Then I'll get a piece for Eldest Sister." Seeing that Mai Xiang seemed a little unhappy, she knew that Eldest Sister was upset and wanted to be alone, so she took Mai Lu out the door, and before leaving, she took a worried look at Zheng Shenyou. Maixiang.

At this moment, Mai Xiang was worrying about her future. She had just sent away one who wanted to buy her as a maid, and another came who wanted her to be a concubine. Mai Xiang suddenly lost confidence. In the days to come, she would meet again. on what?
The members of the Ye family were not tempted once, and they were not tempted twice. They couldn't guarantee the third time or when, the life of the Ye family couldn't go on, and the Ye family would get her idea again.

When Mai Xiang was tangled in the room alone, the people in the room were still discussing the marriage between the Ye family and the Wan family lively.

"Father, mother, when did we get engaged to the Wan family, why did the Wan family withdraw?" San Fu asked.

"That's right, mother, the Wan family is such a rich family, our eldest girl is the head of the family once she enters the house, why do you agree to divorce?" After eating snacks for a long time, Mrs. Zhao remembered that she hadn't asked about the business.

"I don't want to agree to retire? But she is already an official family, how can she still think about our country people? Also, Mai Xiang is so big, don't always call her a big girl in the future." Liu was not angry. He glanced at Zhao shi.

Mrs. Zhao didn't pay attention, but Mrs. Liu noticed Wan Chengyao's disgusted look at Mai Xiang when he heard the name "Da Ya".

"Why are you venting your anger on me? I didn't come up with the name Da Ya, and wasn't it the nickname you called it first?" After Zhao finished speaking, she reached out for another piece of snack.

"Father, mother, to be serious, when did the Wan family get married and why did they withdraw?" Seeing that Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhao were not on point, Er Fu hurriedly asked.

"No matter what the reason is, people dislike us now, let's forget about it." Mrs. Liu glanced at Ye Tiezhu who was silent, and said.

"Why? The Wan family is so rich, and they sent us away with only 30 taels of silver? You are also serious, and you don't call us all to discuss such a big matter. If our brothers are here, why don't we Let Wan's family come up with 100 taels of silver before agreeing to divorce." Sanfu didn't seem to see his father's increasingly ugly face, and he sighed for missing an opportunity to blackmail Wan's family.

"Refund why? If you want me to say, 100 taels of silver can't be refunded. Why are you retiring? In the future, where can we find such a good family on Maixiang? Mother is also true. If you don't tell us about the engagement, we will also resign. I was kept in the dark." Mrs. Zhao also murmured on the sidelines.

"You ask me? People despise Da Ya's vulgarity and let Da Ya be a concubine, but Da Ya refuses to agree, what can I do?" Liu was complained by everyone, and there was resentment in her heart.

"Mother, since ancient times, marriages have been based on the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. When will it be Mai Xiang's turn to decide this kind of matter? According to me, this little wife is not bad. With our Mai Xiang's ingenuity, we can get their family His grandson has been wooed, and he is also very popular and spicy."

Sanfu has always complained that there are no serious and rich relatives in the family. If Mai Xiang can marry into Wan's family, even as a concubine, she is much better than ordinary rural families, and the Ye family can borrow some light.

When Mrs. Zhao heard that she was a concubine, her eyes lit up a little. The Wan family is now the richest man in Changhe Town. Mr. Wan's business has grown big, and the son of the Wan family has become a high-ranking official again. It is enough for the Ye family to live for a year.

"Let's go. You all go out, this matter is over, and no one is allowed to gossip. Also, don't worry about this money, I will use it to buy a few acres of land." Ye Tiezhu said with a dark face. I have endured it for a long time.

"Understood, Dad, let's go dig the vegetable field, the leeks should come out." Er Fu said hurriedly.

Ye Tiezhu nodded and looked at Er Fu, feeling that this son was much better than the third child, and that the third child had too many eyes.

Mrs. Zhao returned to the room, looking at Mai Xiang with bright eyes, just about to speak, Mai Xiang knew what she was going to say.

"Mother, if you persuade me to go to Wanjia to be a concubine, just shut up, I won't agree to this."

"Damn girl, why don't you agree to such a good thing? What's wrong with my little wife? My little wife also eats well and dresses well. She doesn't have to do anything, and she has a maid to serve her. Isn't it better than farming in the countryside?" Mrs. Zhao sat Kang wants to coax Mai Xiang well.

"Anyway, I don't agree." Mai Xiang couldn't figure it out with her.

"Forget it, you damn girl, turn around and wait for your father to come back, I will tell your father, what do you know about movies like a little girl?" Seeing Mai Xiang's attitude of being soft and hard, Mrs. Zhao felt angry. .

Zhao's words made Mai Xiang's heart tremble. Although she asked the nanny to withdraw her marriage, but with the situation of the Ye family, she really couldn't figure out Ye Dafu's mind.

Ye Dafu does not agree with her entering Gege's mansion as a maid, but it does not mean that she does not agree with her entering Wan's family as a concubine. Wan's family and Ye's family have a good family. To be a concubine, I'm afraid it's a good thing you can't ask for, right?
When Mai Xiang was arguing with Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Sun came back from the outside. Seeing that the children were eating snacks in their hands, they knew that a distinguished guest had come to the house today. Things entered the upper room, but they were thrown out by Mrs. Liu after a while.

During dinner, Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Sun had already learned the truth from their husbands, and when they were about to persuade Mai Xiang, they only heard the commotion in the yard, and several people came in.
