Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder

Ye Zhiqiu had no idea that the Ye family would negotiate for her dowry. She was worried about three meals a day. The truth was that no one in the Ye family was good at cooking, and no matter whose turn it was, the food was not tasty.

She is not too picky about food, but she has eaten too many good things and has become picky. But she doesn't want to eat anything for herself. The kitchen is not easy to use and the tools are not suitable. The most important thing is that no matter how delicious the food is, it will not bring her any benefits.

That is to say, the original owner still had some attachment to the Ye family, otherwise she would have run away long ago. What was there to be afraid of without a pass? With surveillance cameras everywhere and the popularity of second-generation ID cards, people could forcibly take in strangers for more than a decade. As long as she was willing to spend money, it would not be a problem to get a fake household registration.

Forget it, there is nothing good to see in the ancient world. Although the scenery is beautiful, she is somewhat obsessed with mysophobia and cannot stand the fact that there are no clean public toilets and clean drinking water around the scenic area. So she stays in the village, at least the drinking water and toilets look cleaner.

The toilet in the Ye family was specially renovated after she came. It was no longer the dirty and messy outhouse that was common in the village before. She suffered a lot for this.

In order to feed himself better, Ye Zhiqiu decided to teach the Ye family how to cook. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the kitchen, he was called out by his cousin Ye, who said that it was Ye's grandfather who invited him.

"What's the matter?" It's not that she was curious, but she had made it clear in recent times that she didn't interfere with others. Grandfather Ye was a smart man and almost never took the initiative to look for her. If he suddenly looked for her, it might be no good.

Cousin Ye had no idea what was going on. He was just happy to see Ye Zhiqiu suffer a loss, and he deliberately showed a malicious expression on his face.

Ye Zhiqiu was not afraid even though she didn't get an answer. All conspiracies and tricks were nothing but paper tigers in front of absolute strength. She had nothing to do, so she might as well see what tricks Grandfather Ye was up to.

She walked into the main room and felt several scrutinizing looks before she even opened her mouth. When she looked up, she saw only strangers.

The look in the middle-aged man's eyes was incomprehensible, but the young man's eyes were full of curiosity. The looks in the remaining two women's eyes were somewhat strange. One had a big smile on her face, and was as happy to see her as if she had picked up money. The other had a critical look on her face, and it was unclear what she was dissatisfied with her for.

The matchmaker had been paying attention to the small landlord and the landlord's silly son. Seeing that the father and son did not show any dissatisfaction, he immediately knew what was going on and praised Ye Zhiqiu: "Father Ye, this is your eldest daughter. She is so beautiful. The old saying is true, girls change a lot when they grow up. She really is getting more and more beautiful."

Grandfather Ye was very proud, but he had to be modest on the surface. He was also very satisfied with the man's conditions. His family had more than 100 acres of land, which was not a small amount for the villagers. He was not too old. Although she was not his first wife, the previous woman only left a maid. At most, he could send her off with a dowry.

If there was anything he was not satisfied with, it was that the man was not the only son, his parents were still alive and had not divided the family, and there was no guarantee of how much of the family property he would get in the future. He wanted to find a better one, but unfortunately only the Yang family offered a high betrothal gift, so he had to settle for this family.

Grandfather Ye was silently calculating in his mind how he could get the Yang family to help support his own family once the two families officially became relatives. As long as he could produce a scholar, no one around would dare to bully his family anymore, and he would be able to see his ancestors after his death.

"Grandfather, who are they?" In front of outsiders, Ye Zhiqiu was still willing to give Grandfather Ye some face. Even though she was the original owner, it was only right for her to call him grandpa.

Grandfather Ye's fantasy was broken by the word "grandfather". He hesitated for a second before introducing vaguely: "This is your Uncle Yang. He wants to meet the younger generation of the family. He has seen everyone else, but not you, so he called you over to recognize you."

Landlord Yang took out the gift he had prepared long ago and gave it to Ye Zhiqiu: "My dear niece, I came here in a hurry and I don't have anything good to give you. I heard that you have studied. Here are a few books that are inherited from our family. You can use them to kill time."

Ye Zhiqiu found it strange. Who would give books as gifts? It wasn't like the malicious elders in modern society liked to give Haidian secret papers to their relatives' children.

But even though she was confused, she still took the book and looked at it for a few seconds. When she got the book in her hands, she realized that she was holding it upside down. She corrected it naturally and found that the people opposite her were smiling even more happily, except for the woman who had been looking at her with a critical look from the beginning.

"System, what's going on?" Ye Zhiqiu felt that he had been a little careless during this period. He did not even let the system keep an eye on the Ye family. If something happened, he would be laughed at by the system for several lifetimes.

The system trembled, swearing that it would not laugh at the host. It did not want to be locked up in a small dark room all the time. This woman was also hard-hearted. When she needed it, she would say all kinds of sweet words. When she didn't need it, she would complain about her being annoying and gossipy. She changed her face faster than turning the pages of a book.

"Host, this is the blind date introduced to you by the Ye family." The system reported the news to Ye Zhiqiu immediately. With it in place, even the past of the former daughter-in-law of the Yang family who "voluntarily" sacrificed herself to protect their daughter was clearly understood.

Haha, the Yang family is not a good family, but she likes it. If they are not good people, she can do it without worrying about it. If she finds an honest man, she will not be embarrassed to be a bad person, right?

The Ye family wanted her to marry, and she had no objection, but no one could get the betrothal gift. She didn't stay to benefit the Ye family. I thought she would go the farming route after the natural disaster, but I didn't expect that she would go the route of house fighting.

It is true that the temple is small but the demons are strong, the pond is shallow but the turtles are numerous, the poor peasants who can't even afford meat don't think about working hard to make money, but think about internal fighting all day long. What good can they get from winning the fight in this broken family?

Seeing that Ye Zhiqiu did not make a fuss, Grandfather Ye was very satisfied with her performance in front of outsiders, and planned to reward her well by giving her an egg alone in the evening.

Landlord Yang was also very satisfied with Ye Zhiqiu's performance. He did not lie. Those books were indeed family heirlooms. However, he had taken them to the bookstore to ask about it, and was told that they were low-quality books that could not be sold at a high price, so he took them out to test the waters.

When he handed the book to him, he held it upside down on purpose. As a result, Ye Zhiqiu knew he was wrong after just a quick glance. He dared to bet that, no matter how profound his knowledge was, the other party must be 100% literate. Just looking at the way he held the book, it was obvious that he was quite skilled. Maybe he could get an advantage this time.

The matchmaker was also very satisfied. With Ye Zhiqiu's performance, even if the Yang family failed, there were still the Wang family and the Zhao family. There would always be people who knew what was good. Even though the girl from the Ye family didn't like to dress up, if she dressed up well, she might be able to marry into a wealthy family in the city. If she was luckier, it was not impossible for her to marry into a wealthy family.

What a loss, what a loss. If she had known earlier, she should have asked the Yang family for a big red envelope. It would take a lot of money to marry such a good daughter-in-law.
