Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 779 - 768: Nouveau Riche

"Do you know where we are going now? To your brother Ye Qiu’s home, which is to say, the home of the future husband Mom mentioned. Don’t be afraid, he will treat you very well," Zhao Yuhong whispered comforting words to her daughter.

Yu Xiaolin had not had much contact with Ye Qiu before, but she still had some memories of him, as she often played with Ye Hao and Ye Kang, and they were the only two who didn’t snatch her snacks. Thus, the expression on Yu Xiaolin’s face relaxed a bit.

Upon entering the Ye Family’s house, the aroma of the Braised Pork Belly and stewed chicken was even more overpowering. Yu Hongjun was so eager he almost pounced on the table but forced himself to maintain some decorum, absolutely not wanting to be the butt of the Ye Family’s jokes.

"Uncle Yu and Aunt Zhao, please take a seat. Xiao Lin, you sit too," Ye Qiu said with a warm smile to Yu Xiaolin, filled with caring intentions.

Yu Chunrong and Zhao Yuhong felt their worries lessen as they watched.

"Ye Hao, Ye Kang, you two go serve the rice," Ye Qiu ordered, and then personally filled Yu Chunrong’s bowl with wine before pouring one for himself as well.

He also let Ye Shuai sit on his own little stool, giving him a small bowl of rice mixed with a little less than half a bowl of steamed egg, and he ate quietly on his own, neither crying nor fussing, very obedient.

Ye Qiu had a handsome appearance, and Cai Baoqin was a great beauty, so Ye Shuai also lived up to his name, a real little handsome boy. Watching the well-behaved child, though not his own nephew, Yu Chunrong and Zhao Yuhong felt their hearts soften, thinking of him as a pitiable child.

At present, everyone in the household used large bowls. Ye Hao and Ye Kang could eat a lot, and Ye Qiu even more so. Yu Chunrong and Zhao Yuhong, who worked on the farm every day, could also eat heartily. Plus, there was Yu Hongjun, who was growing, so six large bowls of rice were all filled to the brim, only Yu Xiaolin’s was a little less.

Looking at the big bowl of white rice and then at the full table of dishes, Yu Hongjun’s objections towards Ye Qiu diminished greatly in his heart.

"Everyone, let’s eat. There are also steamed buns in the pot, don’t be shy. From now on, we are one family. Uncle Yu, I toast to you," Ye Qiu raised his bowl of wine.

Just looking at this table full of dishes, Yu Chunrong was even more satisfied with Ye Qiu, and the severe look on his face from earlier in the day vanished, his weather-beaten face filled with wrinkles was now piled with smiles.

"Xiao Lin, eat this," Ye Qiu said after the toast, placing a large chicken drumstick into Yu Xiaolin’s bowl.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the large drumstick, Yu Xiaolin was stunned for a moment and then smiled at Ye Qiu, thinking to herself how kind he was for giving her the drumstick to eat!

After taking a bite, her eyes widened—it was truly delicious!

Mom said she would be living with this man in the future, so did that mean she could have such delicious drumsticks every day?

Thinking about this made Yu Xiaolin even happier, and she gave Ye Qiu a big smile.

Another drumstick was given to his son, Ye Shuai, by Ye Qiu, and the two chicken wings were shared with Yu Chunrong and Zhao Yuhong respectively.

The two parents didn’t expect to receive anything, were momentarily stunned, and then picked them up again to place them into Ye Hao and Ye Kang’s bowls, smiling and declining, "It’s alright for us to eat something else. Give the big chicken wings to the kids."

But Ye Hao and Ye Kang wouldn’t accept them. Although they were tempted, they knew the rules. Today their eldest brother was hosting, and the good stuff should be offered to the guests, so they both covered their bowls.

"Uncle Yu, Aunt Zhao, please eat, we don’t fancy chicken, we prefer meat."

"Yeah, it’s the Braised Pork Belly that’s truly delicious!"

The two boys chattered away, adamantly refusing no matter what.

Yu Chunrong and Zhao Yuhong could not be unaware. Who doesn’t love chicken in this day and age? It was just that the two children were thoughtful, and as she thought about it, she grew increasingly dissatisfied with her son Yu Hongjun, who could only scoop rice into his mouth, and glared at him fiercely.

Yu Hongjun looked completely baffled, but with so many delicious dishes, he had no time to think about it, and he ate even more cheerfully.

Both families were very satisfied with this meal. Ye Qiu’s culinary skills were excellent, even better than Zhao Yuhong’s, who cooked all year round. Both kids ate until their bellies were rounded, which made her feel both frustrated and amused. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

If it hadn’t been for that night’s drunken misdeeds tarnishing her reputation, perhaps they couldn’t have found such an excellent son-in-law for their family.

"Uncle Yu, Aunt Zhao, there is one more thing I must come clean about." After clearing the table, Ye Qiu asked Ye Hao and Ye Kang to take Ye Shuai out to play, and he spoke with a solemn face.

"What else is there?" Yu Chunrong frowned with concern and exchanged a worried look with Zhao Yuhong. Could it be that Ye Qiu was hiding something else unfavorable from them?

"Perhaps it’s best if Xiao Lin and Hongjun head back first." Ye Qiu said with a somewhat distressed expression.

Yu Chunrong and Zhao Yuhong’s faces showed even greater worry, but they still sent the two kids back first. They wanted to hear what else there was to say.

"Now that it’s just the three of us, speak whatever you have to say." Zhao Yuhong said gravely.

Ye Qiu’s face turned from green to white, then from white to black, and finally, he spoke with difficulty: "About that day when I got drunk and ruined Xiao Lin’s reputation, there is something fishy about that incident."

"Fishy? What do you mean?" Yu Chunrong’s expression changed.

"We were both set up. I wasn’t the initiator that day, and I didn’t lay a hand on Xiao Lin," Ye Qiu said in a deep voice.

"What are you saying?" Zhao Yuhong widened her eyes and exclaimed loudly, "Set up? Who set you up? Why would they set you up? Besides, that day I clearly saw the two of you lying in bed..."

"It was Shuaishuai’s mother, Cai Juhua, who set it up."

"Her? What was her intention?"

"She wanted to divorce me, but didn’t want to ruin her own reputation, so she staged this whole scene," Ye Qiu said with a face full of indignation, seemingly unable to accept it.

"Why?" Zhao Yuhong repeated the question.

"Because she had already found another man outside," Ye Qiu said, turning his head in embarrassment and shame. After all, for a man to be cuckolded by his wife was a shameful matter, difficult to speak about.

"Are you telling the truth? How did you find out?" asked Yu Chunrong.

"Actually, I noticed she was acting strangely a few months ago. She wouldn’t do any housework and was always running to the county town and the city. There were even two nights when she didn’t come home. Back then, I thought she wanted to learn some small business from others, so I didn’t pay much attention. It wasn’t until recently that I discovered she had another man,"

Ye Qiu revealed the veins on the back of his hand in frustration: "A month ago, I saw her shopping with a very assertive man, and today I saw her get into that man’s car and leave the county with him. That’s why I’m sure she had been planning this for some time."

"So that’s what happened." Zhao Yuhong murmured. Since their families were neighbors, she was more or less aware of everything that went on in Ye Qiu’s home. She knew about Cai Juhua neglecting the household, and that she didn’t do chores, and she had even muttered to herself that the daughter-in-law was not behaving properly, not realizing that Cai Juhua had already become emotionally detached and did not want to waste her time on the Ye family.

But why? Why harm her daughter?
