Then he took out a bag of copper coins and gave it to the skinny monkey, saying, "From now on, you two will be managers and supervisors. You will be responsible for watching the workers work and paying them wages on time. When you are free, you will bring them some hot water to drink. You will also provide them with a meal at noon every day. You two will be responsible for delivering it. Don't send too little. People must be well fed before they can work."

When he heard that they were to be the manager, the skinny monkey got excited: "Boss, I'm the manager? Is it like the big manager in the landlord's house? They have to listen to me no matter what I say?"

Ye Ze: "Uh... about the same."

Goudan said dissatisfiedly: "There is also me. I am also a manager. Why are you so happy alone?"

"How can there be two chief stewards? You idiot, why don't you be the second steward?"

"Hey! Why should I be the second in command?!"

"Because I'm smarter than you. Why, do you still want to deny it?"

You can do whatever you want, I can't argue with you! I'll just avoid you, okay? Goudan walked over with a wronged look on his face and watched the workers working.

Ye Ze raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that these two guys were both fans of officials.

After arranging the work in the wasteland, Ye Ze returned home and found Old Lady Ye. He gave the three taels of silver that he wanted to give to Mu Tou and the others yesterday to Old Lady Ye for safekeeping, so that Old Lady Ye could be reassured that he would not take in anyone casually.

Then he went to town with Boss Ye.

More herbs were delivered yesterday, and Ye Laoer had to clean them out first.

Old Mrs. Ye is going to teach Zhao Li how to sew clothes today. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are in Old Mrs. Ye's room, one teaching carefully and the other learning seriously, and they are surprisingly harmonious.

Lin and Chen were not idle either. They divided a few pieces of the cloth bought yesterday between their two families, and were now busy making clothes.

The adults at home were busy, and the children were also busy. Mu Tou, Xiao Mai and their other two siblings went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables. This was an experience they had never had before, and they seemed very excited.

Ye Wenli and Ye Wenhong seldom go up the mountain. At this moment, they were asking Xiaomai and the others where they could pick wild fruits so that they could show off their skills.

After Mu Tou Niang cleaned up the kitchen, she went to Old Lady Ye's room. She felt that the old lady was right. If she wanted to integrate into this family, she had to get familiar with her family members first.

It was Ye Ze who pulled her and her son out of the sea of ​​suffering. Although she had nothing left, she had to find a way to repay his life-saving grace.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Grandma Ye patiently teaching Zhao Li how to make clothes. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along as comfortably as real mother and daughter. Mu Tou Niang couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Is there any mother-in-law who would be so nice to her daughter-in-law?

"Hey, Sister Meng, you're here, come and see the clothes I sewed." Zhao Li said excitedly. When she was at her mother's house, she seldom did these sewing and mending work, so her needlework was very ordinary. Fortunately, her mother-in-law didn't think she was stupid and was willing to teach her personally.

Mu Tou's mother's surname was Meng, so Zhao Li called her Mrs. Meng.

Mrs. Meng took over the dress Zhao Li had just sewn and praised it, "It's really good, the stitches are very dense, and when the dress is finished, you can embroider patterns here..."

Zhao Li smiled awkwardly, and the pride she had just felt disappeared in an instant: "I don't know how to embroider. My mother-in-law just taught me how to sew clothes with a flat stitch."

Meng: "...If you want to learn, I can teach you."

"Really? I want to learn." Zhao Li believed everything she heard. She was free anyway, so she might as well learn something. She immediately looked at her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, do we have embroidery thread at home?"

"This..." No one in their family knows how to embroider, where does the embroidery thread come from? In order not to disappoint her daughter-in-law, Old Lady Ye hurriedly said, "How about... we buy some at the next big market?"

Zhao Li nodded immediately: "Okay." Her mother-in-law was so good to her. She must be filial to her mother-in-law in the future!

"Can I go with you? I want to see if the embroidery workshop in town needs an embroiderer." Meng actually wanted to find a way to make money. She couldn't just stay in the Ye family and eat and drink for free.

"What's wrong with that?" Old Lady Ye asked curiously, "I didn't expect you to have this skill. Then why do you beg for a living?"

Meng gave a bitter smile: "It's just my bad luck."

Seeing that she didn't want to talk more, Old Lady Ye didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she took out the remaining cloth and said, "Pick a color and make new clothes for yourself and Mu Tou."

"this..."

It wasn't that Old Lady Ye suddenly became generous. Instead, Ye Ze gave the three taels of silver that Meng had not accepted to Old Lady Ye for safekeeping, and asked her to buy whatever Meng and her son needed.

The three of them were talking and cutting clothes in the room when suddenly there was a noise outside the door, and then a group of people walked directly into the Ye family's yard.

"Sister Liu, come out quickly. Your Lan Zi is back."

"Oh my, this child looks very ill. Let's get a doctor right away. I hope nothing happens to this healthy child."

"Sister," Ye Lao Er was washing herbs in the yard. He turned around and saw Ye Qiulan surrounded by several women. He was delighted and hurried over. He realized something was wrong and asked, "Sister...what happened to Daya?"

"Second brother..."

"Lan Zi is back?" Old Lady Ye hurried out of the room. Seeing Ye Qiulan, she came over in a few steps: "What's wrong with you? Ouch, why is your forehead so burned?"

The old lady reached out and touched the child's forehead, then quickly retracted her hand: "The child is so sick, why don't you find a doctor for her and take her home?"

Seeing her mother, Ye Qiulan could no longer hold back the grievance in her heart and burst into tears: "Mom... wuwuwu..."

"I'll go get a doctor." Seeing this, Ye Laoer didn't care about anything else and just ran out.

"This must be my sister, mother. Let my sister carry the child into the house first. We can sit down and talk slowly." Zhao Li reminded in a low voice.

"Yes, let's carry the child inside first, so that he won't be exposed to the wind anymore." said the old woman who sent Ye Qiulan back.

Old Mrs. Ye finally came back to her senses from her panic: "Yes, yes, come in first, come in... I won't let you guys rest today, we can talk another day."

"Come on in, we're leaving now."

They had watched Ye Qiulan grow up since she was a child, and they felt bad when she was wronged.

"Qiulan is such a miserable girl, oh!"

"Who says it's not true? The originally arranged marriage didn't work out, and she married into the Zhang family without even asking for a betrothal gift. It would be strange if that old lady Zhang could treat her well!"

"It's all fate, ..."

Several old women looked worried and walked out of the Ye family's courtyard while talking in low voices.

"What's going on, little sister?"

Old Mrs. Ye and Zhao Li supported Ye Qiulan into the house, one on each side, and Lin and Chen followed in.
