Chapter 187 Big Brawl
Mr. Cai looked at Ye Xiaolian and his wife with a confused look on his face. He wondered if he had heard it wrong.
His eldest disciple is a whole generation older than his youngest disciple, Ye Changyan, and is already thirty years old this year. His eldest disciple's grandson is one year older than Wu Lang. Mr. Cai clearly remembers that when he took Liang Jingcheng on a long journey last year, the youngest son of his eldest disciple could recite the Thousand Character Classic.
Sanlang's aunt seemed to be saying that she wanted to marry this beautiful young girl to her eldest disciple. How could this be called betrothal as a concubine? Not to mention whether her eldest disciple dared to take a concubine, if her second disciple knew about it, he would definitely be the first to come to her door.
Seeing Mr. Cai looking at her with a confused expression, Ye Xiaolian thought that Mr. Cai was too old and had hearing problems. When she was about to raise her voice to say it again, she saw Ye Xiaowen and the Xu couple rushing up and pushing Ye Xiaolian back two steps.
"Mr. Cai, my eldest sister-in-law said that her niece is clever and skillful, good at sewing, washing clothes and cooking, and she wants to marry her niece to your eldest apprentice."
As he spoke, the big girl also came forward, and Ye Xiaowen immediately pushed the big girl in front of Mr. Cai.
"Mr. Cai, look, this is my daughter."
The girl's face turned red and she turned her head away shyly, but she didn't dare to look at Mr. Cai.
Mr. Cai was even more confused. Was he drunk or something? But he didn't drink any alcohol at noon. Why did Sanlang's aunt and uncle want to marry this beautiful girl to their eldest disciple?
Just then, Liu came out from the kitchen after finishing her work and saw her elder sister-in-law and elder sister-in-law were vying to marry their daughter to Mr. Cai's apprentice.
Liu's mind raced. Sanlang's senior brother was a wealthy young man from a well-off family. If the eldest girl fell in love with Sanlang's senior brother, it would be like a mouse falling into a rice jar, enjoying endless wealth and glory. Her family and the first family had not separated, unlike the third family which had already separated.
If the big girl really marries senior brother Sanlang, then the big girl will become the closest person to senior brother Sanlang. Besides, which is more important, a junior brother or a wife? Could it be that senior brother Sanlang still can't make up his mind?
When the time comes, even if a little bit of it slips out from the big girl's fingers, it will be enough for my family to enjoy endlessly. When it comes to the marriage of Erlang and Silang, won't I be able to pick any girl in the county town at will?
Thinking of this, Liu's face became excited. She quickly ran to Ye Xiaowu and whispered a few words. Ye Xiaowu's eyes lit up, and the couple immediately went to find Erlang and Silang.
Several people from the second room soon came up to Mr. Cai.
"Mr. Cai, look at my niece. She is a good housewife and a good cook. She is the best knitting girl in Shanglin Village. She is kind-hearted and filial. If my niece is betrothed to your eldest disciple, she will definitely take good care of you in the future."
The families of Ye Xiaowen and Ye Xiaolian didn't know why the second son's family also came over, but Liu's words made the eldest son happy. However, Ye Xiaolian thought that the people from the eldest and second son's families were crazy. After all, the eldest son's family still had a daughter, but why did the second son's family come here to join in the fun?
Ye Changyan's grandfather, who was originally sitting and chatting with Mr. Cai, seemed to be watching a play. He saw his daughter's eldest sister-in-law and two sisters-in-law taking turns to perform, refusing to give in to each other. However, Ye Changyan's grandfather did not understand what they were performing.
Seeing the second son's family coming together to help the eldest son's family, Ye Xiaolian thought that she must not suffer any loss, so she was about to step forward to pull Liu away and move towards Mr. Cai, but was blocked by Ye Xiaowu behind her.
Ye Xiaowu clearly remembered that his wife cried in front of him. When he and Erlang were imprisoned in the county government office, Silang and Da Niu ran to the eldest sister's house to borrow money. The eldest sister took ten taels of silver and sent Silang away, completely disregarding the life and death of her brother and nephew.
Ye Xiaowu deeply resented his eldest sister's behavior at that time. What Liu said to him just now was right. If the eldest girl really married Sanlang's senior brother, she would more or less support his family.
If it were her niece with pockmarks all over her face, not to mention that she would support her family, according to her eldest sister's style, she would rather trample her poor relatives into the mud to avoid being an eyesore.
Seeing that Ye Xiaolian was blocked by Ye Xiaowu behind her, Sun Youde and Sun Yitong were anxious and were about to step forward to help. Seeing this, Erlang and Silang took two steps forward and stood in front of her.
Sun Yiming, who was originally sitting aside and didn't know what was going on, saw that his parents and sister were blocked behind his second uncle's family with anxious looks, so he took a few steps forward and prepared to help.
But Sun Youde and his son, plus Sun Yitong, who was barely able to even tie a chicken, were no match for Erlang and Silang. Erlang, who had been carrying sacks in the processing workshop for two months, was now as strong as an ox. Although Silang was not very old, he had been training in the processing workshop for two or three months and was no longer the silly boiled chicken he used to be.
Ye Xiaolian was very anxious when she saw Liu happily praising Erniu, the big-footed country girl, in front of Mr. Cai.
But her family was firmly blocked behind by the second brother and his two sons. Ye Xiaolian's family felt powerless, as if they had all the energy in their bodies but were unable to use it.
Ye Xiaolian glared at Ye Xiaowu fiercely, and then roared at him.
"Second brother, what is your family going crazy about!"
Ye Xiaolian's roar made everyone around realize that something was wrong here. Ye Changyan and others also stopped talking and turned to look over here.
Ye Xiaolian's family was seen staring at Ye Xiaowu and his sons fiercely, while Ye Xiaowu and his sons looked nonchalant. Liu and the first wife were surrounding Mr. Cai with smiles on their faces, as if they were talking about something, but Mr. Cai had a confused expression on his face.
Seeing that the teacher was surrounded, Liang Jingcheng was about to step forward, but was stopped by Ye Changyan. Ye Changyan looked secretive and said to Liang Jingcheng.
"Listen to me, don't go up there. If you go up there, they'll probably eat you alive."
Ye Changyan had an intuition that his eldest uncle and his aunt must have gone to the teacher to propose marriage. He just didn't know how his eldest aunt and second uncle's family were involved. Judging from the current situation, his eldest aunt seemed to want to ruin his eldest uncle's family's plan, while his second uncle's family seemed to stand with his eldest uncle's family.
A bold idea once again came to Ye Changyan's mind. Could it be that his eldest aunt also fell in love with Liang Jingcheng and was vying to propose marriage to the teacher?
This bold idea made Ye Changyan feel more and more credible the more he thought about it, so he turned his head to look at Liang Jingcheng who was held by him, and thought about Sun Yitong's face full of freckles. Ye Changyan hurriedly shook his head. This picture was too beautiful.
"What's wrong with you? You're looking at me with an evil smile on your face."
