Today was the Li family’s wedding. Moreover, it was already past the auspicious time. The bride had already finished the wedding ceremony and was preparing to receive the guests. Therefore, the Li family’s entrance and courtyard were filled with guests. It was very lively.

“There are too many people here. Go to the other side and wait. I’ll go in and look for them. Don’t follow me in. Look after the things outside,” Ye Dashan said to Ye Qingyu and the others.

They would be mistaken for thieves if they went in to look for someone with so many things on their backs. It would not be good.

Ye Qingyu also understood her father’s concerns and nodded without objection.

“Father, I’ll go in with you.” Ye Qingfeng wanted to join in the fun. He tugged at Ye Dashan’s sleeve and looked up pleadingly.

“You can follow me in, but you definitely can’t run around. Follow me closely,” Ye Dashan reminded his youngest son with a serious expression.

“I know!” Ye Qingfeng smiled and pulled Ye Dashan in excitedly.

“Why aren’t Big Brother and the others out yet?” Ye Dahe craned his neck and looked at the entrance of the Li family’s house.

“They’re entertaining guests. They might not be able to leave when they’re so busy,” Ye Qingshu said.

“That’s right. They’re here to help. If they suddenly leave at the busiest time, they probably won’t be able to explain themselves. Let’s wait patiently,” Ye Qingyu echoed.

They had indeed chosen a bad time.

“Hey! They’re out! It’s Mother and Qingfeng.” After a while, Ye Dahe’s eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly.

Ye Qingyu also saw it. Beside Ye Qingfeng was a skinny old lady with half-white hair and a slight slouch. It was her grandmother, Madam Liu.

“Grandma!” When Ye Qingyu saw that her old grandma still had to come out to work, she felt very upset. She quickly took two steps forward and went up to her.

“Qingyu, it’s really you. I just heard from your father that you came to sell your dowry and even redeemed your first younger brother. I couldn’t believe it!” Madam Liu grabbed her granddaughter’s arm and looked at her excitedly, tears welling up in her eyes.

“Grandma, it’s me!” Ye Qingyu nodded. Her nose was a little sore and her eyes were a little red. “I’ve let you down previously. I’ve made a huge mistake. I won’t do it again.”

“What are you apologizing for? You silly girl!” Madam Liu looked at her granddaughter lovingly and was so happy that she did not know what to say.

“Mother, why isn’t my brother and sister-in-law out yet?” Ye Dahe also walked over and asked.

“It’s too busy. The Li family’s butler didn’t allow us to leave, so your father stayed behind to continue working for me,” Madam Liu said.

“Besides, if we leave now, we’ll lose the wages we earned in the morning. We’ll be wasting our efforts and not getting anything. It’s too much of a loss. Let them finish here. Let’s go home first.”

“Father also said that we should go back first,” Ye Qingfeng said.

Since his brother and mother had said so, Ye Dahe had no objections.

Although Ye Qingyu felt that it was inappropriate to keep her parents working here, she could not think of a better solution.

Apart from their second uncle, they were all old, weak, sick, or disabled. They couldn’t help even if they stayed. They were quite troublesome.

Moreover, there was still a pile of things to bring back home. Without her second uncle’s help, the few of them wouldn’t be able to carry the 100 catties of coarse flour. Her second uncle also had to go back with them.

Madam Liu turned her head to see how her eldest grandson was and to check if he suffered at Landlord Li’s house for the past two days.

However, when she turned around, she saw three large cloth bags on the ground. Her eldest grandson was still holding a bag full of stuff. Her eyes immediately widened in surprise. “Aiyo, why did you buy so many things!”
