Chapter 205 Survival After Chapter 205
Ye Mu'en casually opened a few chests and cursed.
"These scoundrels actually took all the gold, they're quite discerning."
Ye Shenge also laughed, her eyes crinkling. Gold was valuable now, but these remaining jewels and antiques would be even more so once the situation improved.
"Oh, they even left us dozens of chests of gold. Shenge, put these away first."
Ye Shenge waved her hand and collected all the gold. She was in high spirits, opening chest after chest and admiring anything she fancied, not forgetting to pull her elder brother along to share.
Ye Mu'en wasn't particularly interested in these things. Money was only money when it could be converted into cash; otherwise, to him, it was just a pile of junk.
"Brother, when you find a wife later, I'll pick out a batch of exquisite items as a betrothal gift. Girls will love these things."
Ye Mu'en waved his hand dismissively. Neither in his past life nor in this one had he had such intentions, nor had he met a woman who made him pause.
"This is all my private savings, saved up for you. I'm giving it to no one else. Later, when I truly get married, I'll find someone to give it to her."
Ye Shenge felt a warmth in her heart. She finally understood why some sisters-in-law didn't get along with their sisters-in-law. When a brother who had always doted on his sister would one day only have eyes for another woman, it was natural to feel unbalanced and jealous.
Ye Shenge felt that if she had a sister-in-law in the future, she would have to control her jealousy and maintain a balanced mindset, otherwise, it would lead to great domestic chaos.
It took Ye Shenge half a day to go through everything in all the chests. She was incredibly satisfied, feeling that she could now relax.
The two of them also carried some game back home, but what greeted Ye Shenge was Zi Yisheng's sulky face.
Ye Shenge could only pretend not to see. How could she coax him in front of so many people at home?
"Aunt Zhen, shall we have game today? Make plenty so everyone can have their fill of meat."
Zi Yisheng followed Ye Shenge's every step, saying nothing and making no other moves.
Ye Mu'en, watching from the side, clicked his tongue, finding it utterly embarrassing for a man. If he were to marry a wife and become like this, he'd rather remain a bachelor forever.
Ye Shenge, pushed to her limit by the man behind her, had no choice but to lead him upstairs. With a slam of the door, her demeanor immediately changed.
Ye Shenge directly wrapped her arms around her boyfriend's neck and rested her face on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry for leaving you home alone. Are you angry?"
Zi Yisheng was so dazed by the girl's embrace that he could barely recall what he was angry or not angry about. He quickly wrapped his arms around her slender waist; this was a rare opportunity.
"I haven't seen you for two days, and you missed four dinners with me. I'm not angry, just a little unhappy."
Ye Shenge strongly suspected she had found someone who was good at acting, even better than some A-listers. But since she had abandoned him at home, she could only play along.
"I'm sorry, I just hadn't gone out with Brother for a long time, and I thought you were busy every day, so..."
Zi Yisheng didn't argue about being busy. He was indeed very busy every day trying to speed up their departure from here.
"Then promise me you'll eat dinner with me every day from now on and won't leave me alone again."
Ye Shenge, after thinking that there were no more events requiring her to stay out overnight, quickly agreed and promised.
Oh my, why did she feel like coaxing a boyfriend was such hard work?
During dinner, Mo Lin and Xiao Tiantian proactively sat next to Ye Shenge, taking up the seats of Zi Yisheng and Ye Mu'en.
Xiao Tiantian, in particular, felt very insecure when Ye Shenge was not home because everyone else in the house was a stranger to her.
Ye Shenge noticed this and quickly put a large chicken leg in Xiao Tiantian's bowl as a gesture of comfort.
"Xiao Tiantian, tomorrow, sister will take you and brother to the shops, okay? I've noticed you've grown taller recently, we need to get new clothes made."
Mo Lin looked at his slightly short trouser legs with guilt. These clothes had only been worn for a few months, and they were already too short. He seemed to be very expensive to raise.
"Sister, is it very hard for you to raise us?"
Ye Shenge was momentarily stunned and sighed inwardly. Mo Lin was still too cautious.
"Mo Lin, it's not hard at all to raise you, because many people are raising sister. So sister has a lot of money. But when you grow up, you'll have to raise sister too, understand?"
Ye Mu'en, on the side, flexed his biceps to show off his strength, proving he was capable of supporting his sister.
"Hmph, Mo Lin, don't learn from your sister. It's fine for her as a girl to be supported by family, but we are boys and need to study hard. When we grow up, we'll get good jobs to support our families."
Old Fan glared at his little disciple. This girl was the most unmotivated person he had ever met.
If Ye Shenge knew what her master was thinking, she would definitely cry out in protest. She was already working very hard on medicine-making in her space, it was just that no one knew about it.
"Grandpa Fan, sister is raising me now, and I'll be responsible for raising sister later."
Mo Lin's little face turned red. It was clear he had put a lot of thought into this promise.
"Hahahaha, you brat, your sister doesn't need you to raise her."
Ye Mu'en ruffled Mo Lin's little head, thinking that there was no way he could compete.
Zi Yisheng glanced disdainfully at everyone present. His wife didn't need anyone else to raise her.
After dinner, Ye Shenge called Aunt Zhen over and spread out the coupons she had on the coffee table.
"Aunt Zhen, it's getting cold soon. Should we make some clothes for everyone in the family?"
Aunt Zhen was not only a cook but also an experienced housekeeper. It was a pity that Young Master Zi wasn't planning to take her to the countryside and wanted her to retire and live at home. Therefore, she was very worried about the future lives of these children.
"Shenge, can you make clothes?"
Ye Shenge looked at her hands. She had never made clothes before. In her previous life, she bought ready-made clothes or had them custom-made. As for the original owner, Mrs. Ye wouldn't have given her fabric or taught her to sew.
"No, I've never touched a needle and thread."
Aunt Zhen sighed and looked at Zi Yisheng.
"Young Master Zi, what will you do in the future? Who will make clothes for so many people?"
Aunt Zhen hoped that Young Master Zi would change his mind and agree to let her accompany them to the countryside.
"It's okay, we'll find people in the village to make them later."
Ye Shenge scratched her head and looked at her elder brother.
"Brother, can Mom make clothes?"
"Uh, I think so."
Ye Mu'en was sure that their mother couldn't before, and the original owner's mother had only made a few clothes for her original body.
"It's over. We can't have someone make every piece of clothing. How about I learn?"
Ye Shenge looked at her hands again. She seemed to be quite useless in this aspect.
"I think it would be good for Shenge to learn. At least it would be convenient to make underwear later, right?"
After all, they couldn't have a few grown men and an old man learn to sew.
