Chapter 171: The Legendary Ye Dejiang

“Mother, what does father usually do at home?”

“Uh…” At the mention of her lazy husband, Old Madam Ye could not help but glance at Ye Muyu. She was obviously a little guilty, afraid that Ye Muyu would get angry.

In fact, the Ye family had always been a strange existence.

The reason was because of Ye Dejiang.

Although Ye Dejiang was already a 40-year-old grandfather, he had a temperament that outsiders liked to talk about. He was lazy.

Ye Dejiang was the second son of the Ye family. He had been ignored since he was young. If he had not reached the age of marriage, the two elders of the Ye family would still ignore this son.

As for Ye Dejiang, he only had one condition when he got married. His wife had to be capable, even if she was ugly or poor.

Ye Dejiang had somehow managed to convince the clan leader of the Ye family to give him 600 sq meters of land, which was half of the family’s land.

At that time, Old Madam Ye had taken a fancy to Ye Dejiang because he was good-looking and smart. Otherwise, how could an unfavored son get half of the family property?

Of course, in reality, the Ye family had not only land but also silver.

However, Ye Dejiang only wanted the land.

Reality also proved that he was indeed very smart. Later on, his two brothers either failed in their business and spent more than half of their money, or they spent a lot of money to buy things for their children and daughter-in-law. In the end, they wanted to buy land, but they found that the price of land in the village had risen, and even the good land was gone.

In the eyes of outsiders, Ye Dejiang was really smart.

Because of this, Old Madam Ye married Ye Dejiang and had children.

However, after they got married, Old Woman Ye discovered that Ye Dejiang had a habit that could not be ignored, and that was laziness. If he could sit, he would never stand, and if he could lie down, he would never sit.

He would not go out if he could.

What about the in the fields?

That would be even simpler.

Yes, Ye Dejiang was just that domineering. In the first year of their marriage, he was really tight on money, so he had to hire one less person. He had to cover it himself.

However, the next year, with the money he earned from selling grain the year before, he did not work anymore.

He lived a life of seclusion.

Old Madam Ye did not expect Ye Dejiang to be such a person. However, Ye Dejiang had no other shortcomings except laziness. He did not gamble, did not drink, and was not interested in buying clothes and food. He was in a state where he did not care about external things.

Most importantly, Ye Dejiang was handsome.

Old Madam Ye had never seen such a good-looking person. Other than working as much as she did in her maternal family, she did not seem to have changed much.

Of course, it was impossible to rely on Ye Dejiang for everything.

This person would hide whenever he saw trouble.

Old Madam Ye slowly became the person who was worried about everything.

In addition, her son had grown up.

Actually, her work had become easier.

However, Ye Hao’s accident dealt a blow to his family, and they had two more children to raise. In addition, Ye Zhao had just gotten married last year, so he needed a large sum of money.

Old Madam Ye then took back a lot of good things from Madam Ye and finally managed to complete her son’s marriage.

In the countryside, other than building houses, the most important thing was to marry off their children. If there was no way to earn money, it would take most of them seven to eight years to save enough money to help their sons get married.

“Your father is in good health.” Old Madam Ye smiled guiltily.

Ye Muyu shook her head helplessly. “Mother, I know how to make a kind of pickled cabbage. It’s a good dish to go with rice, whether it’s stir-fried or by

itself.. “
