Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder

Grandfather Ye didn't know what his brothers were thinking, he just thought that his own children and grandchildren were filial, but he still insisted on entering the yard first.

Ye Zhiqiu stood by the window, looking at the Ye family members at the gate of the courtyard, and made a bet with the system: "Guess who will come in first."

"The son should definitely come in first. Your cheap father is quite filial."

Ye Zhiqiu shook his head: "I don't know if he is filial or not, but he is definitely a smart man. I bet a bag of spicy noodles that it must be cheap grandfather who comes in first. Even if it's not him, it won't be cheap father and his brothers."

The system won't gamble anymore. Whoever bets on a bag of spicy strips will win or lose. It won't benefit from it, so it might as well just continue to watch the fun.

The father and son pushed and shoved each other, and finally decided that Grandfather Ye should go in first. He was the elder and he had the final say.

Ye Zhiqiu raised his eyebrows and said, "See, I was right."

The system admitted that it lost. It was just an emotionless AI and had no idea about the complex emotions of humans.

While the two were talking, Grandfather Ye had already walked from the courtyard gate to the main house door. The other members of the Ye family standing at the courtyard gate were staring at the house nervously, worried that someone would rush out.

Unfortunately, their worries were in vain. Until Grandfather Ye pushed open the door of the main house, nothing unexpected happened.

"Host, you won't go out to greet them?"

Ye Zhiqiu sat still. She didn't plan to build a good relationship with the Ye family. Why greet them? She could just wait for the Ye family to ask her questions. She could sit still, but the other members of the Ye family couldn't stand. Seeing that nothing happened to Grandfather Ye after entering the door, they rushed into the house one by one.

Grandfather Ye didn't stop his grandchildren this time. He suspected that the villagers had made a mistake. Maybe there were no refugees staying at home. As for the extra firewood at home, it was easy to explain. It might have been left by the refugees, or it might have been cut by the silly girl.

It was at this time that the old man remembered that he had left behind a granddaughter when he left. Although she was silly, she could help with housework and had done woodcutter work before. It was not surprising that she chopped more wood after they left.

With Grandfather Ye’s explanation, the whole family understood. It was a pity that the silly girl was missing. If she were still alive, the family would have an extra free laborer, and in a few years they could earn some dowry money.

The family completely ignored the extra beans in the yard, and only felt sorry that the silly girl was missing. It was only when Grandfather Ye waved his hand and asked everyone to go back to their rooms to clean up that the younger generations who pushed the door into the study realized something was wrong.

Cousin Ye was the eldest and rushed into the study first. He saw Ye Zhiqiu sitting at the desk. He didn't feel the joy of family reunion, but anger: "Silly girl, what are you doing? Who told you to enter the study?"

Ye Zhiqiu smiled slightly: "I can come in if I want to. This is my room, why can't I come in?"

Her bland tone irritated the Ye cousins. Normally, family members would not come into the study where they studied. Even Grandfather Ye would not come in easily, let alone a silly girl.

Cousin Ye remembered that he had left a lot of books on the bookshelf before fleeing the famine, and shouted at the other brothers: "Why don't you kick her out quickly." After saying that, he stood in front and wanted to take action.

"Brother, don't do anything yet." Ye San, who was ranked third, felt something was wrong and stopped his impulsive and irritable cousin.

"Third brother, what are you going to do? You can't speak for the silly girl just because she is your sister."

Ye San felt unhappy, but his expression remained calm: "Brother, did you notice anything different?"

"what is the difference?"

Ye San pointed at the changes in the room and reminded his brothers: "She said this is where she sleeps. Where did this bed come from? And when did she answer our questions? She didn't answer them wrong."

Cousin Ye frowned and said, "What do you want to say? Just say it."

Ye San cursed her inwardly as an idiot and didn't want to step forward any further, but the silly girl was his biological sister. Even though he didn't admit it in his heart, in the eyes of outsiders they were siblings from the same mother. If he didn't care, there would inevitably be gossip afterwards.

He had to make it clear: "Her brain seems to have improved. Why don't you ask her again? If it doesn't work, you can't do it directly. Let my father handle it." It was not convenient for him to do it, but the elders were fine. In fact, it would be best for his grandfather to handle it, but he didn't dare to say it.

Facts have proved that the brothers who can read are not stupid, including the impulsive and irritable cousin Ye, who has also figured it out. They have been away from famine for several months, and the silly girl has moved into the study, and her clothes look clean and tidy, which is very different from her before.

No matter what happened, it was better for him not to show up, and it was better to let the elders handle it. So the brothers looked at each other and turned to find Grandfather Ye. They couldn't get their elder Second Uncle (Second Uncle) to come forward, so they still had to ask Grandfather to come forward.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't expect the brothers to leave like this, and she immediately felt that it was meaningless. She had prepared a big gift for the brothers. If they dared to do something to her, she would guarantee that they would have an unforgettable memory for the rest of their lives.

After hearing what his grandsons had reported, Grandfather Ye couldn't believe it: "What are you talking about? The stupid girl was in the study room. She is alive and has become smarter?"

"Correct."

"Grandfather, she still sleeps in the study room, not afraid of dirtying it, when the woodshed is obviously her room." Cousin Ye felt very aggrieved. He had long regarded the study room as his own thing, because he was the eldest son and grandson, and everything in the family would belong to him in the future, and the other cousins ​​would be divided out sooner or later.

Grandfather Ye didn't believe it, but all his grandsons did the same thing. The study was not far away, just on the west side, so it wouldn't delay anything if he went to take a look. He glanced at his second son and said, "Second son, come with me and take a look. The others can do what they need to do."

That’s what they said, but when the others heard that the silly girl was still alive, they no longer had the heart to work. They all followed Grandfather Ye. They were curious about how the silly girl survived the famine, and even more curious about whether she had really become smarter.

The system screamed: "Here they come! Host, they are coming!"

Ye Zhiqiu calmly took out a book and said, "Come if you want, what are you afraid of?" The Ye family is not a tiger descending from the mountain, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

What Grandfather Ye saw when he entered the room was Ye Zhiqiu reading a book with his head down. It looked beautiful and healing from a distance, but it had a strong impact on the Ye family.

What are books? Except for a few children who read books, no one else dares to touch them. If they really want to touch them, they will wash their hands first. It's not like a silly girl who doesn't understand anything but pretends to be literate and flips through books.

How does this look like becoming smart?

Grandfather Ye didn't believe it either, but he wasn't angry like the others. Instead, he asked kindly, "Daya, what are you doing? You didn't even call me Grandpa when you saw me. Don't you recognize me?"

Ye Zhiqiu looked up when she heard the voice and smiled faintly: "Who are you?" She decided to play dumb and deny it to see how the Ye family would deal with it. She hoped that they would not let her down.
