Ye Xunqing had some money and wanted to buy some things. He was getting married soon, and among other things, he definitely needed a set of wedding clothes. Before, Ye Xunqing didn't want to marry Wang Sanbalzi, so she didn't bother to prepare wedding clothes. After Ye Xunqing came to the shop, he didn't know how to sew, so making clothes was too difficult for him. So he decided to go to a clothing store and buy a set of ready-made clothes.

In addition to his wedding dress, there was also Feng Jingheng's wedding dress. The Feng family suggested adding some fabric to Feng Jingan's wedding dress to make it longer for Feng Jingheng, but Ye Xunqing disagreed. In his opinion, marriage is a very important event in life. In his previous life, he didn't have the opportunity to fall in love and get married. Although the conditions in this life are more difficult, he must arrange the wedding dress, otherwise he will not agree to get married.

The Feng family elders were unhappy. They had already borrowed eight taels of silver for Ye Xunqing's betrothal gift, and with the twelve taels, they were already in debt of twenty taels. The wedding was coming up, so a banquet was definitely going to be held, and judging by the second young man's intentions, it would have to be a grand affair, which was another fortune!

Ye Hongxia was a little anxious. She sighed during the day and couldn't sleep at night. This was the only thing on her mind whether she opened her eyes or closed them.

"What are you tossing and turning for?" Feng Datong scolded her when he saw she wasn't sleeping. "If you don't want to sleep, go out and pick grass for the pigs."

Ye Hongxia said, "His father, aren't you worried about the second boy's marriage at all? Although Qing'er and the second boy have a good relationship, look at his recent food and clothing expenses. They are no longer something our family can afford."

Feng Datong said angrily, "If he's picky, I'll call off the marriage! His reputation is already ruined, I don't believe he can still get married!"

"That being said, we can't treat him unfairly. Qing'er is a good kid." Ye Hongxia said, "Besides, Qing'er is loyal to our family. He took all the good things without blinking an eye."

Feng Datong thought that was as it should be. "We spent money to buy him over. If he doesn't support our family, what's the point of spending that money?"

"Don't say that." Ye Hongxia felt Feng Datong's words were unpleasant. "His father, Qing'er said that the wedding dress must be replaced with a new one. The fabric for the wedding dress is not cheap. I plan to sell a few chickens to buy a few feet of cloth to make clothes for the second boy."

Feng Datong jumped up and said, "What are you buying? Just alter the third boy's wedding dress. If you don't tell me and I don't tell anyone, who would know it's old?"

Ye Hongxia thought about it and decided that it would be better to save some money. Besides, the third boy's wedding clothes were still very new. If she washed them and altered them, there shouldn't be much difference. However, she still felt that she couldn't hide this from Ye Xunqing and had to find a chance to ask him.

The potatoes at Ye Xunqing's house can be dug, as they will soon run out of rice. Ye Laosi and Chen Jinhua are counting on these rows of potatoes to last for a while, so they ask Ye Dayong and others to dig them.

If it were in the past, this job would definitely be done by Ye Xunqing and his brother, but after what happened in the past two days, Ye Laosi and the others no longer had any direct contact with Ye Xunqing.

But Ye Xunqing didn't think that Ye Laosi and the others would let him go like this. These people must have bad intentions.

Early in the morning, Chen Jinhua and her friends went out to dig eggs. Ye Laosi also went out, reportedly to see a doctor for his foot injury.

After Ye Xunqing learned from Xiaobai that the ground eggs were basically grown by his two brothers, he felt that he couldn't let that family get away with it, so he also took a basket and took Ye Xunbai and Mo Yuyan to dig ground eggs together.

The land of Ye Laosi's family is in a relatively remote place. Originally, this piece of land was wasteland. Ye Laosi relied on his large family and asked the village chief for it by begging for mercy.

After coming here, Ye Lao Si asked Ye Xunqing and his brother to cultivate the land and plant ground eggs. Ye Xunqing didn't know how to use an ox to plow the land, so he had to plow the land for a long time. Now the ground eggs were ripe, but he couldn't eat them anymore.

When Chen Jinhua saw Ye Xunqing and the others coming, she was very unhappy, but there were other people around, so she couldn't lose her temper on the spot.

The people here don't build high enough ridges for growing potatoes and don't use enough fertilizer, which causes the potatoes to grow very small.

Ye Xunqing found a relatively high potato ridge with yellowish leaves and dug the potatoes. The potatoes he dug out were slightly larger.

While digging, Ye Xunqing heard someone calling him. He looked up and saw that it was Ye Hongxia.

Ye Xunqing instructed: "You two just need to dig up the piece I pointed out. We don't need so many eggs."

"Brother, we understand." Ye Xunbai responded.

Mo Yuyan couldn't speak and could only nod.

Ye Xunqing walked up to Ye Hongxia and asked, "Aunt, what's the matter?"

"Brother Qing, are you digging ground eggs? How do your ground eggs look like?" Ye Hongxia did not directly state her purpose, but exchanged a few words with Ye Xunqing first.

Ye Xunqing couldn't guess what Ye Hongxia wanted to say, so he said directly: "Aunt, just say whatever you want to say. We won't be shy."

Ye Hongxia felt that there were too many people here and it was hot, so she said, "Come with me over here, I have something to tell you." Ye Xunqing looked around and said, "Let's go talk under the tree."

The two of them came under the tree, and then Ye Hongxia told them the purpose of her visit, "Qing'er, you know our family's financial situation. For your betrothal gift, we have already borrowed eight taels of silver, and we will have to hold a wedding banquet soon, which will cost several more taels of silver. You said you wanted a new wedding dress, but our family really doesn't have the spare money for this. Can you see if you can modify Xiao An's old wedding dress and make do with it?"

Ye Xunqing had never thought of asking the Feng family to make new wedding clothes because he couldn't quite accept the aesthetic taste of the people here. He had already chosen a pattern and bought some beautiful accessories for decoration, waiting for Feng Jingheng to take measurements and make the clothes. The tailor at the clothing store asked him to go to the big market, where the samples and materials he wanted could be obtained. Feng Jingheng also knew about this, but it seemed that Feng Jingheng didn't tell the Feng family the truth, only saying that they wanted to wear new clothes for the wedding.

It turns out that important things should not be relayed by some men, as there will always be errors when they relay them.

Although Feng Jingheng did not relay the message well, this made Ye Xunqing discover another problem.

"Oh." Ye Xunqing smiled and said, "Aunt, did your family's conditions deteriorate because I asked for those eight taels of silver? Don't think I don't know. Xiao An spent dozens of taels of silver to marry his wife. The betrothal gift alone was twelve taels. Even now, he hasn't paid back those twelve taels of silver."

"You can't say that." Ye Hongxia said anxiously, "Marrying a boy is definitely different. Your betrothal gift is very high. If it were an ordinary boy, five taels of silver would be the limit. The second boy loves you and wants to give you some face. You have to be sensible and don't embarrass the second son!"
