Chapter 179 The Ghost in the Old Lady's Heart
Wu Lang extended a warm invitation to Xu, which was heard clearly by everyone in the main hall of the old house. Everyone was stunned for a moment.
The first ones to react were Xu, Ye Xiaowen and Da Niu. Wu Lang's words had made it very clear that the mansion next to the processing workshop was indeed built by the third branch. However, the people in the first branch were mentally prepared. Moreover, this just proved that Liang Jingcheng was indeed the son of a wealthy family and a great benefactor of Ye Changyan.
Except for Liu, everyone else in the second house hadn't reacted yet. Liu felt aggrieved. When she said it last night, the whole family didn't believe it. Ye Xiaowu, the heartless man, even yelled at her, making her sad and crying for half the night.
At this moment, the old lady who was preparing to eat came out from the backyard and saw Ye Xiaozheng and his two sons just stepping into the door of the front hall. A kind smile appeared on the old lady's face.
"The third brother is back, Sanlang, Wulang, come on, let's have dinner together."
The old lady greeted Ye Xiaozheng and his son warmly, and then she heard Wu Lang talking to her husband with a smile.
"Grandma, Mr. Xia had something to do today, so he left school an hour earlier. We have already had dinner."
"Mom, we came to see you and burn some incense with Dad."
"I haven't been here for a few days. Go and talk to your father."
The old lady smiled brightly and followed them towards the direction of the shrine in the main hall, muttering to herself as she walked.
"Old man, Lao San brought San Lang and Wu Lang to see you."
Ye Changyan saw that the other people in the old house seemed a little surprised. It seemed that they had heard some rumors. Ye Changyan thought that this was a good thing. Hearing some information from others would make it easier to accept this somewhat sudden news.
Ye Changyan came to the altar, took out the incense, lit it, and then gave it to Ye Xiaozheng and Wulang. Everyone in the old house remained silent, watching the father and his two sons respectfully burn incense to the old man.
After the father and his two sons had burned incense, they saw Ye Xiaozheng staring at the old man's spirit tablet and spoke.
"Dad, I've brought Sanlang and Wulang to see you. With your blessing, our family is safe and sound. I've brought you good news today. Wulang has entered Mr. Xia's private school. Please bless your little grandson and hope he can pass the imperial examination as soon as possible. Our family opened a workshop a while ago, so we can have some income in the future. Please bless our family to be safe and sound, and to have a better and better life!"
The old lady at the side heard that Ye Xiaozheng spoke respectfully just like the old man did when he was alive. When she heard him telling the old man the good news about the third room, although she kept a kind smile on her face, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
The life of the third room was getting more and more prosperous, but the big family in front of them was getting worse and worse. So the old lady silently prayed to the old man in her heart, hoping that when the old man blessed the third room, he would also not forget to bless the big family in front of him.
Just as the old lady was silently praying to the old man, Ye Xiaozheng's next words made the old lady forget her own wish.
"Dad, on the 26th of this month, our family will move into the newly built yard. Please remember to come and take a look on that day."
After Ye Xiaozheng finished speaking, he took the lead and bowed to the old man again, followed by Ye Changyan and Wulang.
Ye Xiaozheng then turned around and carefully glanced at everyone in the old house who were a little surprised, and finally set his eyes on the old lady Guo.
"Mother, thanks to Sanlang's hard work and the efforts he made, we finally built the new yard. Our family went to Yunfeng Temple to find Taoist Master Yunxu and asked him to calculate the time for us. The moving date is set on the 26th of this month."
Ye Changyan had instructed Ye Xiaozheng in advance, asking him to send out an invitation to everyone in the old house and to explain everything to Ye Xiaozheng in detail, leaving all other matters to Ye Changyan.
When Ye Changyan saw the situation at the scene, he felt fortunate that he had briefed Ye Xiaozheng in advance.
Ye Xiaozheng also knew that he could not handle the situation at the old house. Although he saw everyone in the old house looking at him in surprise, Ye Xiaozheng still said the rest of the words according to Sanlang's instructions.
"I came here today to invite everyone to come to the new courtyard on the 26th."
When Ye Xiaozheng saw the old lady staring at him with a look of disbelief, he felt a chill in his heart and his head began to sink.
Seeing this, Ye Changyan was very satisfied that Ye Xiaozheng had successfully completed the task, so he took two steps forward and spoke to the old lady with a humbly face.
"Grandma, I have specially arranged a room for you. I have already installed the furniture for you yesterday. You can move in for a while and let our family spend some time with you."
The old lady's heart was in turmoil. She didn't expect that what Liu, the jinx, said last night was actually true. The yard next to the processing workshop was much better than her own house.
The old lady's heart is filled with pain now. The third wife who was driven out of the house by her has, in just half a year, not only bought land and opened a workshop, but also built such a big house. On the other hand, her own family has not only squandered the fertile land left by the old man, but also is living an increasingly tight life. There is no arrangement for the marriage of her three grandsons. This family can't see any hope at all for a while.
If the third uncle and his children had not been present, I would really want to cry out loudly to the old man's spirit tablet. I don't know whether the old man is really in heaven. If he is, why does he only bless the third wife? Can't he see the situation of the first and second wives' children and grandchildren?
Suddenly, a young woman covered in blood appeared in the old lady's mind, and she heard the woman begging her weakly to save her child.
The old lady's face turned pale for a moment. What emerged in her mind was the scene when Qin begged her for mercy during childbirth. The old lady felt a chill down her spine.
After the midwife took the third child out of Qin's belly, she left in a hurry without even taking the reward money. Since then, there has been no news of the midwife.
The old lady knew clearly that Sanlang was right in front of her, and she must not reveal any flaws. Since the separation of the family, Sanlang seemed to have become a different person, someone she could not see through at all.
He must not let Sanlang find any flaws in himself. If Sanlang really discovered any clues and traced back to the midwife, what he had done would be exposed.
