C178 New Year's Eve
C178 New Year's Eve
Today was the New Year's Eve. The young generation who had been working hard outside, including the middle-aged generation who had some achievements, had all returned to Ye Village to pay their respects to Old Master Ye and offer incense to their ancestors.
However, none of these had anything to do with the father and son of Ye Family. For some reason, the father and son of Ye Nian had already returned. They had never been welcomed in the Ye Village. They were all cousins. They had bullied Ye Chen since they were young, and had said that the Ye Family had fallen to its current state. It was all your father's fault.
Ye Chen didn't understand it when he was young, but now he knew it clearly. It was most likely because of his mother that the Ye Family was suppressed. In the end, they could only fall into such a small village.
Therefore, he didn't have any resentment towards the humiliation of his relatives. It was just that he didn't intend to interact with these people.
However, no matter how much he didn't intend to interact with them, he still wanted to meet them today. Because on New Year's Eve, it was common for everyone in the village to go to Great-Grandfather's house to reunite and have New Year's Eve dinner.
Even though Ye Chen couldn't be bothered with other distant relatives, he still had to care about his father's feelings. He could only pack up early and accompany his father to the Great-Grandfather Manor.
"Yo, isn't this my dear cousin, Ah Chen?" Before he walked far, he heard a deliberately loud voice. Then, an arm was placed on Ye Chen's shoulder.
A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes appeared. He was Ye Chen's cousin, Ye Cheng. It was said that he had a good life outside. He was a senior executive in a company in Sunan Province.
Standing beside him was a short and fat woman. In terms of seniority, Ye Chen should call her Aunt Ye.
However, Ye Chen did not bother with these guys. He looked calm and did not see any movement. He separated himself from Ye Cheng's arm and took a few steps to the side to hide behind his father.
The short and fat woman immediately revealed an unhappy expression, and said, "Ye Nian, your son isn't very capable, but his arrogance isn't small."
Ye Nian was an honest and honest person. Of course, he wouldn't publicize his son's identity. He could only smile awkwardly. Third Aunt, however, didn't want to let him go and said proudly,
"I am not talking about you. Ye Nian, your son should really take good care of him. Look at him. What can he do? Look at my son. He is now a senior executive in a big company. He has more than 200,000 yuan a year. "
Regarding this, Ye Nian just smiled. Not to mention that his son had made a name for himself, even if his son was useless, he was still his most precious son.
Seeing that Ye Nian did not say anything, Aunt Ye became more and more proud. She kept talking non-stop on the way. Sometimes she showed off the Apple phone that her son bought for her, and sometimes she said how young and beautiful the chairman of her son's company was.
Ye Nian and his son did not care about her at all. They treated her like a fly buzzing by the side. Less than half a minute later, Sun Xiaoxiao's joyful voice came from the side. "Yes, senior. Wait for me!"
Ye Cheng was stunned. He looked at a pure and lovely young girl who hugged Ye Chen's arm without any hesitation. She showed her most brilliant smile and felt that she had received ten thousand tons of critical damage.
At this time, Sun Xiaoxiao's parents also walked up and greeted everyone. These two were simple and honest people. Naturally, they chatted with Ye Nian, which made it seem that Third Aunt and Ye Cheng were outsiders.
Ye Cheng's eyes kept floating towards Sun Xiaoxiao. How could Third Aunt not know what her son was thinking? She secretly went over and whispered a few words into his ear. The two of them instantly laughed.
Soon, Old Master Ye's family arrived. Third Aunt shook off Ye Nian and the others and took the lead to pull her son forward. She said respectfully, "Great-Grandfather, you are really getting younger and younger. I brought the Prime Minister here to give you a New Year greetings."
Old Master Ye laughed. "Good, good. The Prime Minister has been doing well outside these years. You have brought honor to my Ye Family."
Ye Cheng also stepped forward at the right time. He said a few good words and flattered her, making Old Master Ye so happy that his wrinkles were squeezed together.
But after that, Ye Nian and Ye Chen stepped forward. Old Master's expression was not good. These two father and son were not good at flattery. They just said hastily, "Happy New Year, Great-Grandfather."
Old Master Ye said coldly, "Humph! Ye Nian, what have you and your son gained in the past year?"
Just as Ye Nian was about to speak, the relatives around him burst into laughter and said, "What kind of abilities do father and son have? Especially that Ye Chen, he is a bear bag. It is said that when they got married in Haicheng, the bride ran away with someone."
When Old Master Ye heard this, his expression immediately changed. He shouted sternly," Ye Nian, is what they said true? "
Ye Nian hurriedly explained, "Great-grandfather, listen to me. The marriage was indeed not formed, but that's because..."
"Sigh!" Old Master Ye sighed heavily and interrupted Ye Nian's words. "Father and son are both like this. They can't see their own abilities clearly. They are clearly toads, but they want to climb up to the swan. One of them has caused my Ye Family to be stranded here, and the other has caused my Ye Family to lose all of its face! "
Great-Grandfather Fang was so angry that he stamped his walking stick. The surrounding people also began to criticize him. For a moment, Ye Nian and his son seemed to have been pointed at by thousands of people.
"This father and son pair are really mourning stars. It's really unlucky to see them during the Lunar New Year!"
"If you want me to say it, I might as well expel them from Ye Village. Apart from humiliating Ye Family, what else can these two do?"
"Agreed. Get out of the Ye Village, get out of the Ye Village!"
... ""
Ye Nian raised his eyebrows, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the courtyard. Someone exclaimed, "Dingbang's family is here!"
Ye Dingbang could be considered an influential person in Ye Village. He had a company in Zhaode City, and every year, he earned close to a million. He brought his family out of Ye Village and bought a building in the city.
When he appeared, it was like a celebrity had come to a concert. The crowd did not have the time to scold Ye Nian and his son. They all surrounded the family of three and tried to please them.
Ye Dingbang's wife was a very virtuous person. She could even politely answer the greetings of these relatives and friends, but his daughter Ye Muhan had lived in the city since she was young, and she hated these relatives in the countryside.
Although her father had instructed her before, she still showed an obvious disdain and scolded in her heart, "A bunch of country bumpkins. It really makes me lose my appetite."
The one who rushed to the front to pull strings was Aunt Ye. She smiled and said flatteringly, "Dingbang is here. Great-Grandfather wants to see you for a long time. It's not like he earned less this year, right?"
Ye Dingbang smiled faintly and said with a face full of smiles, "My ancestors bless me. I just received the favor of Subei Province's Cao Family a few days ago. He suddenly made his career several times bigger. After the New Year, he would make a lot of money. " All the young people in the village who want to work in the city can come to me!"
As soon as he said this, the courtyard was filled with thunderous cheers. Even Old Master Ye was smiling with his hands on his beard. He was very pleased with himself!
