Chapter 121 Lin Chengye's Favorite Person
Ye Peng now has no idea how capable his daughter is. There are so many things she has hidden from him.
It is better to be safe than sorry. Ye Peng felt sad that his daughter did not tell him the little secret, but he also understood her behavior.
"Dad..." Ye Tang opened his mouth.
Her father and brother didn't know that Xiao Jingxuan was proficient in martial arts and medicine. This was Xiao Jingxuan's secret and she couldn't tell anyone about it.
Ye Peng raised his hand to interrupt her: "That blood dragon sounded very powerful, but I didn't expect it to be so weak that it couldn't even beat my daughter."
He looked at Ye Tang with admiration: "The more powerful you are, the more relieved Dad will be."
Ye Tang didn't know what to say for a moment, and his father didn't intend to ask any more questions.
"Dad, Senior Hong taught me a lot of skills. Since Baiwei Fresh has not yet opened and you and your brother are not very busy, why don't you stay at my place for a while?"
Her father and brother both like to learn martial arts, but they have been busy with business recently and have neglected to practice martial arts.
"Okay." Ye Peng understood what Ye Tang meant and responded happily: "When will Xiao Yi be beheaded?"
"I don't know, it shouldn't be too long. Dad, do you want to come and watch him beheaded on the day he is beheaded?"
"No, I want to wait until he dies and use his skull to make a wolf bowl."
"..."
After Ye Tang and Ye Peng finished their conversation, Ye Ping'an pulled Ye Tang aside and whispered a few words in her ear.
A look of surprise flashed in Ye Tang's eyes, and he looked up at Lin Chengye.
Lin Chengye, who was not far away, blushed and lowered his head.
Ye Tang couldn't believe it: "Is this kid sincere?"
Ye Ping'an nodded vigorously: "He said he was sincere, sister, when I first knew about it, I was as surprised as you. Cheng Ye kept it a secret. Who knew he would have that kind of thought? If he didn't say it, I would never know it. Sister, you know Cheng Ye's character very well. Since he dared to say it, he must be ready to give everything for Sister Sanxi. But the Zhao family may not agree, so I have to ask you to help match them up."
Ye Tang never dreamed that Lin Chengye would like Zhao Sanxi. They lived in the same village and met each other every few days. However, Lin Chengye didn't seem to be particularly special to Zhao Sanxi on weekdays!
"Has Chengye told Sanxi about this?"
"No, he dared not say. But, sister, Chengye has drawn a clear line between himself and his uncle's family. He has separated from them and lives on his own." Ye Ping'an said, "He has no house in the village, so he can only stay at our house temporarily."
Lin Chengye is now the shopkeeper of a stewed food shop. He has to give all the money he earns every month back to his uncle, otherwise his uncle will not let him go out to work. He will use his status as an elder to suppress him and make him a slave at home. In order to help Lin Chengye save money and get away from his uncle's family as soon as possible, Ye Ping'an announced to the public that Lin Chengye's salary is half a tael of silver, but in fact he gets three taels of silver every month, which Ye Ping'an helps him keep.
Half a month ago, news of Zhao Sanxi's divorce spread, and many matchmakers went to Zhao's house to propose marriage, but they all mentioned bad people like widowers, old men, drunkards, etc. Zhao Sanxi was so angry that she cried several times at home.
When Lin Chengye learned about this, he suddenly told his uncle's family that he wanted to separate and live on his own. His uncle refused to agree. It was Ye Ping'an and Ye Peng who went to find Lin Chengye's uncle and used threats and inducements. Lin Chengye gave his uncle twenty taels of silver as a fee to sever ties with him, and only then did his uncle's family agree.
Ye Ping'an called Lin Chengye over and asked him to take out the letter of severance of engagement and show it to Ye Tang.
Lin Chengye didn't have that much silver, and he borrowed the twenty taels from the Ye family.
After giving out twenty taels of silver, Lin Chengye signed a letter of severance with his uncle.
Ye Ping'an was angry: "If it were me, he shouldn't have given Uncle Lin twenty taels of silver. Chengye started working for Uncle Lin when he was six years old. He worked from morning till night, ate the least, worked the most, and wore the worst clothes. He gave all the money he earned to Uncle Lin. He no longer owed Uncle Lin anything."
Lin Chengye raised his head and said, "No, I still owe them. I have no parents, no grandparents, and my uncle and his family took me in and gave me food. Although they were not very kind to me, at least they didn't starve me to death. If it weren't for the food they gave me, I would have died a long time ago."
"Although the twenty taels of silver is a bit much, it can be regarded as repaying my uncle for raising me for the past twelve years." Lin Chengye looked at Ye Tang and said seriously, "I have been in love with Sister Sanxi since I was twelve, but I was too self-abased and thought I was not worthy of Sister Sanxi, so I didn't dare to say it out loud."
It's not just a problem of inferiority complex, another problem is that he is still young.
He was younger than Zhao Sanxi, only fifteen years old, an orphan and living under someone else's roof. It was impossible for the Zhao family to marry Zhao Sanxi to him.
When Zhao Sanxi got married, he sincerely hoped that Zhao Sanxi would be happy, but he never expected that Zhao Sanxi would divorce him in less than a month.
Lin Chengye didn't know why Zhao Sanxi divorced. He only knew that Zhao Sanxi had to remarry within three months after the divorce, otherwise she would face great trouble.
"Sister Atang, I'm in a hurry to cut off my relationship with my uncle's family because I want to marry Sister Sanxi. I don't want her to be enslaved by my uncle's family like me after she marries me." Lin Chengye's face was still very red, but his eyes were brave and determined: "Although I don't have a house or a decent home, I can work hard to earn money, and I will make Sister Sanxi happy."
Ye Tang looked at him: "Do you know why Sanxi divorced?"
Lin Chengye asked: "Why?"
"Because her ex-husband beat her."
Lin Chengye's pupils shrank and he clenched his fists.
On the carriage back to Qingquan Village, Ye Pingan asked, "Sister, do you think Lin Chengye can marry Sister Sanxi?"
Ye Tang closed his eyes and rested: "I don't know, it depends on Sanxi's opinion. If she doesn't want to get married, Lin Chengye can only continue to be single."
Ye Ping'an stopped talking.
Ye Tang: "I will ask Sanxi tomorrow to see what she thinks."
Given Zhao Sanxi's current situation, Lin Chengye may not be the best choice, but he is the best choice.
If they get together, Sanxi won't have to serve her parents-in-law, won't have stepchildren to raise, Lin Chengye will earn money, and the two of them will only need to concentrate on their own lives.
It’s just that it will be a little hard for the young couple to work hard on their own.
The next morning, after breakfast, Ye Tang went to Wenggang Village to find Zhao Sanxi.
Zhao Sanxi was doing needlework at home, looking worried.
Seeing that she was unhappy, her nephew Zhao Yang, who was playing with his sister, stood up and took his sister to the yard. After a while, he came back with his sister, each holding a dogtail grass in his hand.
The two little ones rushed over, and Zhao Sanxi was frightened. Fearing that they would be pricked by the needle, he quickly put down the needle and thread and hugged them.
"Didn't I tell you not to rush over to me when I'm sewing? What if I prick you?"
"Aunt, there is something in your palm." Zhao Yang suddenly said in surprise.
Zhao Sanxi spread out his hands and took a look: "There's nothing here!"
Zhao Yang took the opportunity to use dogtail grass to scratch her palm.
"Aunt, smile." Niece Zhao Qiaoqiao also used dogtail grass to tickle Zhao Sanxi's palm, muttering: "Smile, smile, smile..."
Zhao Sanxi's eyes suddenly became moist.
When Ye Tang entered the room, she saw Zhao Sanxi squatting on the ground. Two little kids were tickling her palms with dogtail grass. Zhao Sanxi was laughing very loudly.
"Stop scratching, it's itchy! Hahaha, you two, that's enough, that's enough!"
