Li Xiulan was surprised. Ye Xianchun was so handsome and looked not that young, but he was already eighteen years old.

"Oh, how can your mother be a mother? I have to talk about her. This girl is eighteen years old and still stays at home like an old maid. If people tell others about this, they will laugh at her."

Li Xiulan didn’t know what Ye Xianchun had been through, she only knew that her two nieces had to get married quickly.

The Ye family's property will be left to her son in the future, and it cannot be wasted by these two girls.

Seeing her like this, Ye Shian couldn't help but say, "If you meet the right person, you'll marry him or her. Since my elder sister hasn't married yet, she must not have met the right person."

"Oh, you can't say that. Forget it. I'm going to go find your mother."

Li Xiulan walked quickly to the hall: "Where can a girl who is waiting to be married meet the right person? Of course, her family will worry about it. You are still young and don't understand these things. I'd better go and talk to your mother."

However, before marrying off her two nieces, she had to do some things first. Her husband's parents-in-law did not belong to her husband alone, so as an elder sister, she also had to do her part.

Dabao couldn't bear to stare at the koi in the pond. All he had seen before were carp and grass carp, which were black and ugly. This was the first time he saw red and yellow fish, and he really liked them. This fish looked so good, and it must taste good too.

The atmosphere in the hall was harmonious, Yu Xiuying told interesting stories about her brother's childhood, and Yu Paner sat there eating snacks and listening to stories. The snacks were delicious and the stories were interesting.

It turns out that my serious dad was also so naughty when he was a child.

As soon as Li Xiulan came in, the laughter in the hall immediately subsided.

Yu Huaiying saw his wife coming, so he stood up and walked to her side and said softly: "Xiu Lan, mother is fine here, let's go back."

"Hey, why are you in such a hurry?"

Li Xiulan glared at her man and sat down to Yu Xiuying's right.

"Sister, I have a straightforward temper. If I have something to say, I will not feel comfortable unless I say it. Please bear with me if I am wrong."

Yu Xiuying smiled: "Sister-in-law, just say it directly. Although I have not been able to be with my parents, I am still their child after all."

"Since you said that, I will speak directly to you."

Yu Huaiying knew what his wife was going to say, so he quickly walked up to her and tugged at her sleeve: "Xiu Lan, we just met with our elder sister, let's talk about it later if we have anything to say."

Li Xiulan ignored her husband: "Sister, you haven't been with mom and dad for a long time. You don't know that they have been missing you all these years and have been sick. They have been in poor health and have to take medicine every few days. Especially dad, he is a medicine bottle. We have spent a lot of money over the years. Dad died a few years ago, but the famine debt he left behind has not been repaid yet, and mom..."

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to say anything. I understand. You have worked hard for so many years."

Yu Xiuying called out softly to Ye Shian who was standing outside the hall, and Ye Shian, who was standing outside the hall, walked in.

Yu Xiuying turned around and asked her, "Sister-in-law, how much money have our parents spent over the years? Tell me the number."

Li Xiulan didn't expect Yu Xiuying to be so generous, and she didn't know what to say for a moment. She was afraid that if she said too much, Yu Xiuying would not give it to her, and she was also afraid that if she said too little, she would suffer a loss.

"This..." Li Xiulan slowly stretched out two fingers.

Yu Xiuying frowned slightly: "Twenty taels?"

Seeing that she looked unhappy, she changed her words: "Ah, no, eighteen taels, no, fifteen taels, fifteen taels of silver."

Seeing her daughter-in-law asking for too much, Mrs. Liu was furious: "Xiu Lan, you..."

"Mom, you know what kind of life our family has been through these years. Dabao has been old enough to go to school, but he has never gone because he has no money."

Ye Shian took out twenty taels of silver from his purse and handed it to Li Xiulan: "Aunt, here are twenty taels of silver. Take it."

"Ah, hahaha, oh, this, this is so embarrassing."

Li Xiulan said this, but her hands were tightly holding the silver.

Liu was sitting there feeling uneasy. She really wanted to stop Ye Shian from giving the silver to her daughter-in-law, but their family had indeed not had an easy time over the years and her daughter's family was indeed better off. Since her daughter took out twenty taels without blinking an eye, it meant that the family still had some savings.

"Aunt, the food is ready. Please move to the dining room. I'll ask Zhu Li to take you back after dinner."

In fact, even if Li Xiulan didn't say it, the Ye family was also planning to give them some money to renovate the house they were living in now, but Li Xiulan took the initiative to ask for it, and the meaning was different.

Moreover, Ye Shian really disliked his aunt and always felt that she was snobbish and scheming.

"Oh, this..."

This mansion looked luxurious, and she wanted to stay there for two more days. But it didn't matter, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

When Dabao heard that he would have to go back soon, he was unwilling to go back: "Mom, I don't want to go back. I haven't played enough."

Yu Xiuying smiled. After all, he was her brother's son, and she liked him from the bottom of her heart: "Then stay at your aunt's house for a few more days."

Li Xiulan smiled and patted her son: "See, your aunt still loves you. Dabao, when you grow up, you must be filial to your aunt, okay?"

After taking the medicine, Liu felt much better: "It's just right. I'll go back after dinner and won't bother you here anymore."

Yu Xiuying was unwilling to hear this: "Mom, what are you talking about? What do you mean by disturbing or not? Didn't we agree that you will stay here? No, you will live here from now on. This is your home."

Li Xiulan quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, mother, you can live here. Look at how big my eldest sister's house is. It's better for you to live here than in our house. Our family has suffered a lot these years, and even our two children haven't had a good day."

Ye Xianchun finally came back from outside. She walked into the hall and bowed to the elders present.

"I heard that my aunt asked me to come back. I wonder what she wants to tell me."

Yu Xiuying also looked at Li Xiulan curiously. Li Xiulan cleared her throat and said in an elder manner: "Xianchun, how old are you this year?"

"My aunt is already eighteen."

Li Xiulan looked at Yu Xiuying in a friendly manner and said, "Sister, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but even if you like the girl, you can't keep her forever and not let her get married."

Yu Xiuying: …

"It's a long story, but it was ultimately my negligence."

Ye Xianchun has been feeling very tired these days, and whenever he has nothing to do, he would make excuses to stay in the house.

"Hey, it's not easy for a woman like you to take care of three children. Sometimes there are bound to be unexpected things. But it doesn't matter. Don't you still have me, your aunt, here? Leave this matter to me. I will help Xianchun find a good family when I go back. I promise to find a good family for her."

Ye Xianchun was already feeling uncomfortable, and when she heard that her aunt was actually going to interfere with her engagement, her expression became even uglier.

"I can handle my own affairs, so I won't bother you, aunt."

"Kid, what are you talking about? It's my own business, and I should be concerned about it."

"Thank you, aunt, but I have no plans to get married, so don't waste your energy."
