Chapter 163 Ye Dad Coaxes His Wife
Hearing his wife's words, Ye Dad's breathing immediately calmed down.
"Look at this Ye family, how are they like a family? They don't even want basic kinship, wanting me to earn honor while also wanting to replace me."
Ye Mom rolled her eyes. What kind of bullshit kinship? If they behaved, they'd be treated well; if not, they should be struck down with a single palm.
"You're not the original host, there's no need to show mercy. Lest any future troubles get our family killed. I'm telling you, we've finally gotten another chance to be with our daughter, and I absolutely won't allow anyone to ruin it."
Ye Dad didn't know if it was the original host's emotions or not, but in the past, he would have immediately dealt with these people. Now, he always felt a certain emotion controlling him, making him reluctant to act.
"Wife, what do I do if I always feel I can't bear to?"
"Look at your unpromising self. If the Ye family were as warm as the Bai family, I wouldn't agree to you taking action. But you have to think about how the daughter's original self left her family. This is the revenge for the death of a child. Moreover, they want to kill our whole family now. Such people must be uprooted, leaving no future trouble."
Ye Dad nodded, and tears immediately came out.
"Damn it, wife, I'm actually crying. Is this trying to kill me?"
Ye Mom felt her husband was quite interesting now, no longer as rigid as before.
"Endure it, suppress it with all your might. Otherwise, if you're influenced by the original host's remaining emotions in the future, I'll despise you, as the original host is not my husband."
Ye Dad, upon hearing he could still endure, absolutely could not tolerate another man existing within his body. Otherwise, when he wanted to be intimate with his wife in the future, he'd be defiled by an outsider.
"Since you can't come back either, hurry and leave. At least you can reunite with your family below. Next time, if you have a good reincarnation, maybe you can be together as a family. Also, I can grant you one wish, but don't be too excessive."
Ye Dad chatted with the original host's remaining lingering obsession in his mind, but he didn't know what the original host truly wanted to express. Sigh, what a worry.
Ye Mom looked at Ye Dad muttering to himself and felt a bit disgusted. He used to be decisive and ruthless, so why was he so clingy now?
"When are you planning to leave? Don't mess yourself up."
Ye Dad looked at his wife's disgusted expression and felt a bit wronged, but he did have to leave. He'd also go and deal with the Ye family's affairs.
"I'll leave tomorrow night. Wife, aren't you coming back with me?"
"What am I going back for? I'm staying to be with our daughter."
Although Ye Dad doted on his daughter, he cherished his wife even more. In his previous life, he had never left his wife except for work. How could he bear to have his wife not by his side?
Ye Dad fawned over to Ye Mom, massaging her shoulders and her back.
"Wife, I've already spoken with Zi kid. We'll be making a strategic withdrawal soon, and the Bai family needs to be arranged for in advance. If anything happens, the Bai family will be the first to be affected. Think about how deep the Bai family's foundation is. If something really happens, losing money would be fortunate; losing lives would be terrible."
Ye Mom quickly waved away Ye Dad's hands. She came to this world completely blind, with no knowledge of historical progress. She couldn't contact anyone in power, let alone understand how dire the situation had become.
"How can this be? Where will we retreat to? Are you and Zi kid giving up your positions?"
"We will, of course. It's just that we need a few years of rest. Most of the people under us will be kept to preserve strength. We might have to live in the countryside for a few years then. I don't know if you and our daughter can get used to it."
His wife and daughter had been pampered and spoiled since childhood. He truly didn't know if they could endure life in the countryside.
Ye Mom also fell silent. She knew that in the countryside, not only did one have to do farm work, but even buying something required a long journey. However, thinking of their daughter's space made her feel a bit better.
"Our daughter's health can't handle farm work. You'll have to handle all of this. If necessary, we can go abroad together."
Ye Dad disagreed with his wife's suggestion. Going abroad would truly mean abandoning everything they had built in their home country. He still had many ambitions to fulfill and too many ideas in his mind to improve the current military strength. He didn't want to waste them.
"I'll arrange everything. I absolutely won't let you and our daughter do any work. Besides, Zi kid won't let our daughter suffer."
Ye Mom glanced at Ye Dad sideways. Was this guy actually agreeing to their daughter and Zi kid's relationship?
"You can't say you agree, it mainly depends on what our daughter thinks. Also, currently, we're tied to Zi kid, and his strength is what I've recognized. At least if something happens that I can't solve in the future, he'll be there."
Ye Dad was pragmatic. In this turbulent era, protecting his family was the most important thing. Who told Zi kid that he indeed had the strength? It was a waste not to use it. As for whether his daughter would eventually be willing to be with him, it was completely outside Ye Dad's considerations. As long as their daughter liked him, she could be with anyone.
Ye Mom disliked Zi kid's calculating nature, but in this era, it was indeed an advantage. As long as he was sincere towards their daughter, she was willing to accept someone who was so much older than her daughter.
Besides, if Zi kid and their daughter got together, it wouldn't be a loss. After years of accumulation, her precious daughter was a golden child, rich with money. What the Bai family gave, and what she and Ye Dad saved, would all be given to their daughter, and she would stand tall and proud.
If you ask about her son, Ye Mom would proudly say that their family tradition was that grown boys should strive for themselves. If they have money, spend it; if they don't, starve.
"If I leave, I can't rest assured about our daughter."
"Mu En is here, what are you afraid of? Zi kid has also arranged a group of people. If even they can't protect our daughter, then they should be discarded. Besides, you can't help much by staying here. Our daughter is busy with school and studying medicine every day, so she doesn't have time to spend with you."
Ye Mom thought about it and felt it made sense. She'd treat it like a business trip. She had to sort things out at home first before she could come back and spend proper time with her daughter.
"Alright, tomorrow night I'll go back with you."
Zi Yisheng didn't know that his good days were about to come, and he would have more time to cultivate his feelings with the little girl. He was currently in an air-raid shelter, excited. Seeing the abundance of supplies, he felt grateful in his heart for the sacrifices his future father-in-law had made.
Zi Yisheng knew how difficult it was to obtain these supplies, let alone that they were all top-grade fine grains. The price he quoted was a bit low, and he seemed to need to compensate more.
"Ouyang, report to the higher-ups. Say I've procured a batch of grain. Refined white flour is 1.7 yuan per jin, rice is 1.8 yuan per jin, and corn flour is 1.1 yuan per jin. If they are unwilling, we'll keep it ourselves."
Zi Yisheng calculated the money in his hand. He couldn't spend money so freely in the future. He also needed to reclaim what was due. He would have to save money for his wife from now on.
