During famine years, I had a divination slip in hand, and my whole family ate chicken, duck, fish, a

"No trouble at all. Just let me know if you need anything in the future."

Ye Laoshuan chuckled and said, "Er Yatou calls me cousin, and her father and I are cousins ​​who grew up together. We are really relatives."

Zhao Lao Er quickly took the kettle and leaned over to ask warmly,

"Uncle Shuanzi, how did Er Yatou's family become so successful? The three of us brothers all feel that this girl is no ordinary person. Could you tell us about it?"

Zhao Lao Er's eyes lit up as he said, "Yes, yes! Er Ya Tou is simply a living goddess in our family!"

"Isn't it because Second Sister is more capable?"

Old Man Ye shook himself awake. "If you're going to talk about this, I'm not sleepy anymore. Let's change the subject."

"I don't know if it was smashed or not, but ever since that girl jumped into the Erlang River, she's been like a completely different person. Her luck is incredibly strong."

Every time we go up the mountain, we manage to hunt game—pheasants, wild boars, badgers…”

He embellished the story of Ye Qingqing hunting in the mountains and fishing in the river, telling it to the Zhao family with great enthusiasm.

The Zhao family was almost dumbfounded.

The three brothers looked at each other in bewilderment.

I was just thinking of learning skills from the master, but who would have thought that the second daughter is destined for wealth and honor!

If a person's fate is predetermined, then who can learn from it?

However, being able to keep up with such a host family is already a blessing from God!

These days, it's good enough if you can just do unpaid work and get something to eat. But this girl not only gave us food and wages, but also found us a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

They were from the bottom of their hearts certain that Ye Qingqing was the perfect family to marry into.

……

The Zhao family settled down, but the entire Kaoshantun village was in an uproar.

The villagers gathered together, chattering away.

"Are you really staying at Old Man Ye's house?"

"That's for sure! I heard they even pay the three brothers a monthly allowance and wages! Even landlords wouldn't dare hire people like that!"

"Pay wages? That's five mouths to feed! How much money does she have to support this kind of extravagance!"

"Why don't you let us do such a good thing? We're all from the same village, it's just outsiders who benefit..."

"You can't say that. If the bandits from Qing Shi Town come, would you be better with a knife or a sword?"

……

In the end, it all boils down to envy, jealousy, hatred, and feeling sorry for Ye Qingqing for wasting food.

As soon as Ye Qingqing stepped outside, she was surrounded by eyes watching her, but she pretended not to notice.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Ye Laoshuan was awakened by the noise in the courtyard.

Peeking through the window crack, I saw the three Zhao brothers: one sweeping the yard, one carrying water, and one chopping firewood.

Perhaps because they had eaten two hearty meals yesterday, the three brothers were back to their energetic selves, and after finishing their work, they even practiced their martial arts in the yard.

They went back and forth, playing with skill and precision.

Since our daughter got married and moved far away, our house has never been this lively!

The sight of Mr. and Mrs. Ye filled them with joy.

Ye Qingqing was fast asleep when she vaguely heard a commotion in the yard.

"Master, isn't chopping wood and sweeping the floor our job? How can you let the master do it?"

"Right, right, what should we do while we're idle? Brother Ye, give me the axe, go and take a rest!"

"Sister-in-law, don't move, I'll go fetch water..."

……

Ye Qingqing's confused consciousness gradually returned, and she realized that the three Zhao brothers had come to her house to do chores.

The performance was not bad.

She yawned lazily, checking what clues the divination slip might have for the day.

With granaries full and money plentiful, they could live comfortably all winter without ever running out of food.

Having been idle at home for the past few days, she felt restless and couldn't help but ask the oracle for guidance on how to get rich.

"Clang..."

The shimmering divination sticks appeared before my eyes, and after a few shakes, golden characters appeared:

[Xiao Ji: In the wolf den in Qiushan Forest, a lone female wolf is dying. Go there to obtain her pelt.]

[China-Kyrgyzstan: Two weaned wolf cubs in a wolf den, exceptionally gifted, suitable for adoption to guard homes.]

[Extremely ominous: Bears are known to roam the North Peak; provoking them could be fatal.]

Ye Qingqing's eyes lit up.

A dying she-wolf—isn't this just getting a wolf pelt for free?

Ten taels of silver easily entered her account; it was as if the God of Wealth was chasing after her, showering her with money.

The wolf pelt was secondary; what caught Ye Qingqing's eye were the two wolf cubs!

She had been thinking about buying two dogs for a while, firstly to help with hunting in the mountains, and secondly to guard the house.

I went around the town, but I couldn't find anywhere to sell dogs.

Forget about it in Kaoshantun. In those famine years, people couldn't even get enough to eat, let alone have any extra food to feed the dogs.

Even those who keep dogs at home probably killed them and ate them.

The divination slip said that the two exceptionally talented wolf cubs could be adopted as guards, which means that these two cubs can be trained as guard dogs!

Just when I was dozing off, someone brought me a pillow. Oh well, time to go get the wolf cubs!

Ye Qingqing got up with renewed energy, got dressed, and washed up.

"Brothers, you've all done the work, what am I supposed to do?"

Ye Dali's axe was snatched away by Boss Zhao. He looked at his empty hands with frustration, "I'm usually the one doing this kind of work!"

Old Zhao said respectfully, "Brother Ye, you are the host, how can you do such rough work?"

Go back inside and rest, have some tea! If I did anything wrong, feel free to tell me!

Ye Dali took deep breaths, "I... I don't like drinking tea..."

He's not used to being waited on by others.

He felt uneasy when he had no work to do.

The wooden basin full of dirty clothes in Li Chunyan's hands was also snatched away by the second son of the Zhao family, who stared in disbelief.

"No, buddy, you're even taking over the laundry job? That's not something a man should do, give it to me..."

"Why not?"

Zhao Lao Er chuckled as he held the basin, "My parents' clothes are all washed by the three of us brothers, so sister-in-law, don't bother, be careful not to freeze your hands in this cold weather."

Leave it to me, I'll make sure it gets you spotless...

"Next time... I'll let you wash it next time."

Li Chunyan stamped her foot anxiously, her face flushed, and snatched the wooden basin back. "Give it to me now!"

There was still her old undergarment inside her clothes!

And last night, Dali must have been so full of himself that he spent most of the hour messing around with her on the kang (heated brick bed), leaving those stained sheets. If anyone saw them, wouldn't she be mortified?

The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Last night, Dali was like he was on steroids, he really wore her out...

It's all Er Ya's fault for not letting us sell those old turtles; she insisted on keeping them for our own consumption!

Look at how much your older brother eats! He's always red-faced and swollen-necked!

As soon as they got back into the room, their eyes were practically glowing with greed. Before the child was even sound asleep, they quickly stripped her clothes off.

The scene from last night flashed through Li Chunyan's mind, and her face turned as red as a monkey's bottom as she picked up the wooden basin and ran back into the house.

"Sister-in-law... I can really wash it clean!"

Zhao Lao Er scratched the back of his head, looking bewildered. "What happened?"

He was only 17 years old and not married yet, so naturally he didn't understand what Li Chunyan was ashamed of.

Ye Qingqing walked out of the house after hearing the commotion. Before she could speak, the three Zhao brothers all looked over and bowed in unison.

Greetings, host!

Ye Qingqing, "..."

If it weren't for the mud-brick houses and large courtyard in front of her, she would have thought she had entered a bathhouse!

Just three more uniforms needed!
