Chapter 221: 221 Brothers Reunite
“The fourth brother is stubborn, and his not coming back probably means he didn’t find the person. He’s a grown man; he can’t be in much trouble and will return sooner or later,” Ye Gaoshi said while comforting others but also comforting himself.
“By the way, little sister, how did you come to the county?” Ye Gaoshui asked.
“I came with father, he went to buy some things and asked me to wait here,” Ye Jiu exclaimed, “Right! I bought a lot of things! My eldest and second brothers can help me carry them later.”
Both were startled when they saw the things Ye Jiu had bought.

So much fabric, their whole family couldn’t use it all even if they made new clothes; it was truly wasteful.
However, now that the family was divided, they couldn’t say much.
When Old Man Ye returned, the surprise on his face was no better than theirs. It was good that his sons had returned, but his daughter’s spending speed was too much for his old bones to bear.
After meeting up with the Clan Leader, Ye Gaoshui and Ye Gaoshi also hitched a ride on the village chief’s ox cart, and finally didn’t have to rely on their legs alone.
On the way, their minds were greatly disturbed upon hearing that Ye Jiu’s disappearance was actually Mrs. Li’s doing.
When Ye Gaoshi and Ye Gaoshui were young, Mrs. Li had taken care of them for a quite while.
Especially Ye Gaoshi, if it weren’t for overhearing that Mrs. Li only looked after him and his brother to upset Mrs. He, he might still think of Mrs. Li as his own mother.
Although Ye Gaoshui’s memories weren’t as clear as Ye Gaoshi’s, he also remembered vague memories from his childhood.
Initially, when they knew about Mrs. Li’s adultery, they felt it was unforgivable, but they could still understand it somehow, given that Mrs. Li had not had a good life in the Ye Family over the years.
But her daring to collude with human traffickers to sell people was just too outrageous!
All the way, Old Man Ye described these facts calmly, and Ye Jiu didn’t exaggerate them, while Ye Gaoshi and Ye Gaoshui responded with silence.
Or perhaps, they didn’t know what kind of expression they should have.
Back home, since there were many items, the Clan Leader simply drove the ox cart right up to the Ye family’s gate.
Old Man Ye spoke, “Today it’s troubling for the Clan Leader to make this trip. My eldest and second have also come back, and I bought meat in the county. Would the Clan Leader give us the honor of joining us for a couple of drinks?”
“Uncle Cheng, you speak too politely, but let’s skip the drinking for today. I’ll come when the fourth comes back, and by then, Uncle Cheng, please don’t despise us,” laughed the Clan Leader, his tone noticeably more respectful than before.
Of course, the Clan Leader’s change was partly due to the County Magistrate’s attitude towards Ye Jiu and also because of the things Ye Jiu bought today.
There were fabrics, meat, wine, and also pastries bought, which looked like it would not go below ten taels of silver.
This Ye Cheng branch, it seems, is set to prosper!
After the Clan Leader left, Ye Gaoshi and Ye Gaoshui carried the items to the main house.
After reporting where they had been during this period and the money spent, observing Mrs. He’s displeased face, Old Man Ye spoke up, “Alright, it’s been a long time since we’ve been back. Hurry back to your room and tidy up, change your clothes. Father bought meat; come to the main house for dinner tonight.”
“Yes!” Both responded simultaneously, deeply moved.
In the past, either their mother showed disdain or complained about them bringing back too little money, and their father usually responded with silence. This was the first time their father had spoken to them with such a kind tone after coming back from a trip.
Looking at Mrs. He and seeing no sign of opposition on her face, the two brothers finally felt relieved.
