I am a woman, I am a man, I want to marry a wife so that I can farm

Ye Ze stayed in bed for a while before getting up. In the main room, Mrs. Meng was teaching a few children. Ye Ze didn't want to disturb them, so he just ate breakfast in the kitchen.

In the yard, Ye Qiulan was sitting at the doorstep knitting lace. Old Mrs. Ye was pounding her old waist and following behind Daya, watching her learn to walk.

Seeing her mother so tired, Ye Qiulan couldn't bear it and advised: "Mom, just sit down and watch Daya. You don't have to follow her closely. She can't run far..."

"How can that be? What if he falls?" Old Mrs. Ye sighed, "Don't worry about it. I'm not tired."

Ye Qiulan: "Uh..."

Mom, you clearly didn't say that before. You said that it's normal for children to not get bumped into things? Only by getting bumped into things can they live longer!

Ye Qiulan was about to persuade her again, but was stopped by Ye Ze, who had just come out after breakfast: "Mom, I'll take Daya out for a walk, you take a rest for a while." With that, Ye Ze picked up Daya and walked out.

Old Lady Ye: "Hey? Where are you taking my eldest granddaughter?"

Ye Ze: "Just look over at our open space, it's not far away."

"Then you have to take good care of the child for me. Can you take care of a child? You..." Old Mrs. Ye warned worriedly.

"Mom, don't worry." Ye Ze smiled at the little girl and said, "Look how much your grandma loves you. Your status is almost higher than that of your uncle.

Daya giggled and covered her mouth with her hands. Her uncle was so tall. She felt her vision was broadened when he held her in his arms. The little girl seldom went out, so she looked around curiously.

At the construction site, the craftsmen arrived early and are now working hard. The main house part with the front and back yards is almost completed, while the progress of other parts is a little slower.

Through the wall that had not yet been built, Ye Ze saw at a glance that there seemed to be a quarrel over there with Shouhou and the others.

It was too far to see clearly what was going on, so Ye Ze walked towards that direction with Daya in his arms, confused.

The two people who were stopped by several old men were Shouhou and his father Ye Changzhu!

Ye Changzhu's eyes were wide open, he pointed at the skinny monkey and scolded him for being unfilial: "Ye Xiaoshuan, have you forgotten that you lost your mother when you were born, and it was your grandmother who raised you with all her heart! Now she is too sick to get out of bed, and the person she wants to see the most is you, and you won't even go back to see her?!"

"Didn't the eldest grandson she raised die a long time ago? Why did you come to me?" The skinny monkey said with a nonchalant expression.

"You... I'll beat you to death, you unfilial son!" The skinny monkey's tone made Ye Changzhu even more angry. He struggled hard but couldn't break free from the two old men's grip. "I'm teaching my son a lesson, what are you doing? Let me go!"

"Changzhu, is your mother really sick?" an old man next to him asked.

Ye Changzhu took a breath and said, "How can I joke about this? Xiao Shuan's mother went to see him yesterday, but was humiliated by this kid. Can you guys tell me what's right? Does this kid deserve to be punished?"

"Uncle Changzhu? What's going on?" Ye Ze watched from a distance for a while before squeezing into the crowd.

"Ye San'er? You came just in time," Ye Changzhu shook off the two people who were trying to stop him and said to Ye Ze, "Xiao Shuan is a good kid to you. Please come and persuade him for me. His grandmother is sick. Shouldn't he go back to see her? Xiao Shuan's mother passed away early, and it was his grandmother who raised him day and night!"

Ye Changzhu thought that since he had said so, Ye Ze would have to speak up for him.

"Boss, you know I'm just an orphan, how can I have a grandmother?" Skinny Monkey quickly responded, fearing that Ye Ze would listen to Ye Changzhu's words and join in persuading him to do something he didn't want to do.

Ye Ze nodded: "Monkey is right, Uncle Changzhu, you should go back."

"What?" Ye Changzhu was stunned. "Ye San'er, what do you mean by that?"

"It's nothing. I'm just trying to save face for you, my uncle." Ye Ze said in a flat tone.

"You'll give me some face?" Ye Changzhu suddenly raised his voice: "I'm his father! It's only natural for a father to take care of his son! Why do I need you to give me some face? Just based on the treasonous words Ye Xiaoshuan said just now, it's enough to punish him according to the clan rules!"

Shame on you! Ye Ze's face turned cold. He was afraid of scaring the child, so he tried to keep his tone calm. "Law is nothing more than human feelings. It's not up to you to decide whether to follow the clan rules or not! A father is kind and a son is filial. The father comes first and the son comes second. It was you, the father, who ignored your son and drove him out of the house. How can you still say you are his father?"

"You...I..." Ye Changzhu was speechless. He thought for a moment and sighed, "There are no bad parents in the world. Besides, the old lady worked hard to raise him. He can't just ignore his seriously ill grandmother! The old lady just wants to see the grandson she raised since he was a child. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Ye Ze raised his eyebrows: "Monkey was originally an obedient and sensible child, but you killed his filial piety with your own hands! Uncle Changzhu, have you never thought about your own mistakes?"

"I'm his father, what could I have done wrong!" Ye Changzhu felt a little embarrassed to be reprimanded by a junior in front of so many people, and he retorted loudly and angrily.

Ye Ze smiled and changed the subject, "I heard that your stepson's wife is pregnant with her second child?"

"???" Why did it bring up the stepson? Ye Changzhu didn't take it seriously and nodded, "Yeah, what's the matter?"

Ye Ze: "Then do you know how old Monkey is this year?"

"This..." He really didn't remember it!

Originally, he was a neglected child, so how could Ye Changzhu care about him? The reason why he wanted to recognize this son again was entirely because of Youshi's suggestion.

Ye Changzhu's youngest son is fifteen this year, which is the right age for marriage. If the relationship can be settled this year, he will get married next year. His family hasn't even prepared the betrothal money yet.

My eldest daughter-in-law at home will have to recuperate next year, and the price of grain in the town has skyrocketed... Recently, more and more people have gone to the town or county to find odd jobs, and Ye Changzhu has not found a job for several days in a row.

Ye Ze's family had cheap food to exchange for the clan members, but they just wouldn't exchange it for their family!

If not for this, their family wouldn't be in such a hurry to let Skinny Monkey go back.

If Shouhou is willing to go home, can Ye Ze not exchange food with them? Just for winter food, they can save a lot! Besides, Shouhou has worked with Ye Ze for so long, so he should have made a lot of money, right?

I heard from Mrs. You that Ye Ze built a new courtyard for Goudan. Goudan and Ye Ze, who are not related at all, have received this treatment, so how could he treat his son unfairly?

Ye Changzhu felt that what Youshi said made sense. He estimated that it was too late this year. Next year, Ye Ze would definitely build a bigger yard for Shouhou than Goudan’s!

That's a brick house! If they recognize Skinny Monkey, can't their whole family move in with him?

The house has been repaired again and again, but it is either leaking or drafty. If he only relies on the few acres of land at home and earning money from odd jobs, even if Ye Changzhu is given another 20 years, he will not be able to build a brick house!
