"Dad, mom, grandpa, I've finished cooking, let's eat while it's still hot."

Qimu stood at the door. Her figure was thin and her face was yellow, but her eyes were bright and clear. She spoke with a smile.

"Mu, you went to cook?"

Yang Lili hugged Little Ran, looking up at Qimu with surprise and heartache. She had been too busy looking after her daughter Yiran who had just returned, but she had forgotten that she still had her injured eldest daughter with her.

"En, quickly go to the hall. It's not good if your food is cold. Grandfather, you should stay and eat with me today. My cooking skills are quite good."

Qimu arrived and reminded everyone to eat again in a good-natured manner.

"That's right, dad, let's eat together."

He still felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart. However, that was his father, so he definitely had to take the initiative to ask his father to stay for the meal.

"Dad, what Dazhuang said is right. It's already a bit late, the main house should already be eating. Dad should stay here and eat together with us."

"Grandpa, let's eat together with Yangyang. Grandpa hasn't eaten with Yangyang yet, so grandpa should stay behind."

For a time, the sound of Ye Guangzong having to eat was everywhere in the room, one after another without end.

"No, no, I'll go back and eat." Ye Dazhuang waved his hand and refused. "I want to see, I haven't even gone back yet. Those bastards in the main house, they didn't even send anyone to call for me before daring to eat by themselves. Are there still any filial piety in their eyes?"

"..."

Regardless of whether Qimu's family stayed or stayed, Old Master Ye Family still decided to return to eat.

Qimu stood alone at the door, looking at Ye Guangzong's back as he left alone. She felt dejected and embarrassed, thinking that not only did her father still mind the business of the branch family, he was also embarrassed. This old man was the same.

Those people in the main house, if they really didn't wait for the old tutor to eat, then they were dead for sure! The lordmaster was stifled in his heart and almost found someone to quell his anger.

"Mu, come in and eat. Stop blowing the wind outside."

Yang Lili shouted from the hall.

"Alright."

Qimu answered and turned to enter the hall.

Before Ran came back, Qimu's corner table was occupied by Ye Dazhuang, Yang Lili, Qimu, and Yangyang. Now that Ran was back, since Ran was still young, she sat beside Yang Lili.

After they sat down, Qimu's eyes swept across Yangyang. Seeing that he looked the same as usual and was even very curious about Ran, trying to make Ran happy over and over again with childish actions, Qimu finally relaxed a little.

Qimu was actually afraid that Yangyang wouldn't accept Ran's arrival, especially at this moment, when Yang Lili was wholeheartedly trying to make up for Ran, she put Ran first in everything and didn't take Yangyang's feelings into account. In the past, Yangyang was treated like a "little emperor" at home, she was afraid that the shift of focus at home would make Yangyang feel uncomfortable or even sad.

She opened her mouth to talk to Ye Dazhuang about Ye Guangzong's visit this afternoon. Thinking about it, she could not help but feel more happy for her cheap old man.

"Father, Grandfather came today and told me about the branch family."

"Hmm? What did you say? "

Ye Dazhuang was stunned and clearly felt a bit uncomfortable. In ancient times, people would criticize a branch family for living together with a large family.

Qimu did not mind. She understood that no matter how determined Ye Dazhuang was, he was still someone who had been poisoned by feudal thoughts for decades. She smiled lightly and said slowly:

"At first, I thought that if we took the initiative to divide the family and infuriate this lord and daughter, we would definitely not get anything good. To be able to leave the house to us, that would already be a very good thing."

"However, grandfather said that no matter how bad father is, or how unfilial he is, he is still his son. As father, mother, how can he possibly be angry with a child?"

"There are a total of ten acres of land at home. Grandfather made the decision to give three acres of land to our family and even gave us an old hen. He said that she laid eggs every day to nourish her body." As for the three pigs in the pigsty, my grandfather said that other than the fields, these pigs are the most important. They are the foundation of Ye Family, and you have to subsidize your family if you sell them at the end of the year.

"But, after he sells the pigs, he will leave us some money. As long as we have someone to help us gather the pigweed every day."

"Dad, mom, don't worry. When I'm fully recovered, I'll go. Eldest Aunt always urged me to do this, to do that. I didn't feel too happy about it. Now it's for my family, so I must be serious."

"In the future, we will fight for them and also buy two pigs to raise. We will also let Yangyang go to the academy to buy new clothes for Ran and build a big house for her!"

"What did your grandfather really say?"

Ye Dazhuang hesitated for a moment and said.

"You ask Mother, Mother, what do you think?"

Qimu turned her head to look at Yang Lili who was feeding Ran. Yang Lili raised her head and smiled at Ye Dazhuang with a blissful expression.

"You don't believe what you just said!" "Father told us to pick the land in the morning and catch another old hen to raise. We are finally looking forward to this day."

When Ye Dazhuang heard this, his eyes reddened. He was so unfilial and his dad... He quickly lowered his head and gulped down large mouthfuls of rice to hide his emotions.

Qimu didn't say anything and just smiled lightly as she talked about another topic. She looked at Ran, who was incredibly adorable even when eating, and casually said:

"Mother, why isn't Ran saying anything?"

"Ah, Ran …"

Yang Lili's face, which had originally been smiling, suddenly stiffened. It suddenly occurred to her that Ran had been back for so long, and the whole family had surrounded her and played with her, but Ran hadn't said a word or said a word about what she wanted to do.

This, this, could it be...

Qimu saw that Yang Lili's expression suddenly turned bad. With a flash of thought, she looked Ran up and down again. She wanted to cry, but there were no tears. She and Yangyang were normal, so Ran shouldn't have any problems.

Just before the family fell silent, the atmosphere turned to ice and a storm was about to hit.

However, Ran opened her mouth and calmly said:

"I'm not dumb."

The voice carried the innocence and immaturity of a child, as well as traces of soft and delicate entanglement. It was like a song or water, like an orchid in an empty valley. It was so melodious, so captivating, and so enchanting.

In this world, she was the only person who possessed a voice that should have originated from the heavens and was rarely heard on earth.

Qimu was drunk and stunned by the pleasant voice. She finally regained her senses and laughed out loud, saying:

"This little sister of mine, perhaps she's a fairy that descended from the heavens. She's pretty and her voice is nice to listen to, how many daughters should be envious?"

The entire family finally regained their senses, beaming with joy as they looked at Little Ran. They were filled with the selfless love and hope that came from their blood ties. They wished they could stop eating and just hug her to play with her.

As long as it wasn't a mute, her voice would sound even better. Qimu carefully chewed on her food, thinking that tomorrow would be the day to bask in the sun and after she was done with it, she could take it to sell.

Qimu raised her head and looked at Yangyang, then she looked at Ran. Her elder sister was her mother, but it wasn't easy for her to live.

He needed to earn some money!
