Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 785 - 774: Nouveau Riche

During dinner, only Ye Qiu’s family dined together, Ye Hao and Ye Kang were quite happy that their eldest brother married their new sister-in-law, Yu Xiaolin, who used to play well with them. Most importantly, Yu Xiaolin wouldn’t lose her temper randomly like Cai Juhua; when Cai Juhua was at home, they hardly dared to speak loudly.

As for Ye Shuai, he vaguely felt that Mom didn’t want him anymore, but with Ye Qiu patiently coaxing him and Yu Xiaolin sharing delicious treats with him, he gradually forgot about his own mother and happily accepted Yu Xiaolin.

Not to mention Yu Xiaolin, who now was already accustomed to eating at the Ye Family home by herself, which made the atmosphere at dinner today particularly harmonious.

What was amusing was that Yu Xiaolin, who usually scampered off to play right after meals, actually offered to do the dishes today, though she was refused by Ye Qiu.

She was a bit at a loss: "But Mom said I should do chores, and I know how to do them."

"You don’t need to do anything; I’ll take care of it. Didn’t your mother tell you to listen to me? Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll get Ye Hao and Ye Kang to teach you and Shuaishuai how to read. By the time I have finished washing the dishes, how about you recognize three characters? Is that good?" Ye Qiu coaxed her.

This trick worked every time, and Yu Xiaolin had no choice but to agree. Not having to do chores made her quite happy. What she didn’t know yet was that studying was going to be more troublesome for her than doing chores.

Ye Hao and Ye Kang were more than willing to teach their sister-in-law and nephew. Their big brother said that they would be university hopefuls one day, and that they should always have a keen desire for knowledge, be it things they had learned or had yet to learn. Even though they already recognized those characters, according to their big brother, it’s always good to reinforce them.

Ye Qiu watched them with a face full of satisfaction. In fact, Ye Hao and Ye Kang were not unintelligent; in their previous life, they faced too much criticism, which made them feel that the world was filled with too much injustice, and that’s why they strayed off course.

In this life, whenever there was a suitable opportunity, Ye Qiu would talk to them about the importance of studying and take them to the county or city during holidays to broaden their horizons. Only by seeing more of the world could they avoid being easily deceived by others.

"How are you doing with recognizing the characters?" After cleaning and putting away the dishes, he leaned against the door and asked with a smile.

Yu Xiaolin, hearing this, looked over, her eyes somewhat dazed.

She thought to herself, Brother Qiu is really handsome, more than anyone else she had seen.

"I remembered all of them." She said proudly, "Look, this is the character ’Yu,’ this is ’Xiao,’ and this is ’Lin.’ Together they spell my name, Yu Xiaolin. I now recognize my own name!"

Her eyes were bright and pure, as if filled with twinkling stars.

"That’s impressive." Ye Qiu ruffled her hair as a sign of praise, "Then you should continue to learn more characters just like today."

For some reason, Yu Xiaolin felt at that moment that she could not let Ye Qiu down, so she energetically replied: "Yes, I will definitely recognize more characters and I’ll be able to write like Ye Hao and Ye Kang too."

"Good, then I’ll be waiting." He smiled tenderly, and then turned to Ye Shuai, "And our Shuaishuai, how many characters do you recognize?"

"I recognize ’dad’ now. Second Uncle taught me to recognize ’dad,’ ’Ye Qiu,’ this is your name, right? I recognize it now." Little Ye Shuai, too, couldn’t wait to show off in front of Ye Qiu, with an underlying sense of competition with Yu Xiaolin for attention.

"You didn’t read it wrong, our Shuaishuai is also very amazing." Ye Qiu picked him up and kissed his chubby face.

"Hehe..." Tickle by the kiss, he laughed and nestled in Ye Qiu’s embrace.

Ye Qiu then patted Ye Hao and Ye Kang’s heads: "You two are also incredible. I never thought you guys would actually succeed in teaching your elder sister-in-law and Shuaishuai how to read. That’s just amazing. If you become teachers in the future, you’ll definitely be fantastic ones."

Hearing Ye Qiu’s praises, Ye Hao was a bit embarrassed: "Big brother, you’re exaggerating." Although he said this modestly, the corners of his mouth were curved into a smile.

Ye Kang, on the other hand, was much more audacious, very proud of himself: "I knew I was the best. I’m going to teach Shuaishuai even more characters in the future, and I’ll teach him how to count too."

"Hmm, then big brother will be waiting, no slacking off. If Shuaishuai is lazy and doesn’t study, you just discipline him," Ye Qiu said.

Perhaps knowing he was being talked about, Shuaishuai quickly said, "Daddy, I’m very good, I won’t be lazy."

"Hmm, Daddy knows you’re good."

Yu Xiaolin, standing beside them, watching enviously, also hurriedly said, "I’m also very good, I won’t be lazy either."

Ye Qiu couldn’t help but chuckle, "Hmm, I know, our Xiao Lin is also very good. So now, can our very good Xiao Lin lead the equally good Shuaishuai to wash up and go to sleep?"

"I can," Yu Xiaolin raised her hand.

Seeing her do that, Shuaishuai raised his little chubby hand as well, "I can too, I’m a big kid now, I can sleep nicely by myself."

"Hmm, then off you go. I’ll come to check later if you have been very good." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

After the two left, Ye Hao looked up at Ye Qiu, "Big brother, is there something you want to talk to us about?"

"What’s the matter?" Ye Kang was completely clueless, still unaware that Ye Qiu had deliberately sent Yu Xiaolin and Ye Shuai away.

"It’s about the gold bar Grandpa left behind. I never told you about it, but I want to talk to you today," Ye Qiu said as he sat down, gesturing his younger brothers to do the same.

Ye Hao and Ye Kang gave each other a look, not understanding what Ye Qiu meant by that.

"The gold bar was left by Grandpa; by rights, it should be split equally among the three brothers," Ye Qiu said.

Ye Hao was somewhat panicked, "Big brother, we’re still young, we can’t take that money. Besides, it’s you who has been taking care of us all this time. How could we share the money with you?"

Now Ye Kang finally got the idea, and he quickly said, "Exactly, big brother, without you, we wouldn’t even be able to go to school. No matter what Grandpa left, it’s all yours, I definitely don’t want any."

"No, even though you are young, this needs to be made clear to both of you," Ye Qiu said with a smile, "Just listen to me, don’t rush to refuse."

The two brothers obediently sat, their sincere eyes fixed on Ye Qiu.

"There was only one gold bar left by Grandpa, which I’ve sold for US$ 40,000," Ye Qiu revealed.

Upon hearing this much, Ye Hao and Ye Kang inhaled sharply. Although they weren’t clear about the exact concept of US$ 40,000, an ice pop at school costs just five cents each—how many could they buy with US$ 40,000!

"In this period, some of it was spent on your school fees, house repairs, my wedding, and improving our family’s meals, so I have about thirty thousand left. This is what I’m thinking—I’m in charge, and you both are still young, so the family can’t be divided, and hence the money shouldn’t be given to you now either."

"That’s certainly right. If big brother didn’t tell us, we wouldn’t even know there was so much. We’d have no objection even if you keep it all," they said.

"Mmm-hmm," Ye Kang nodded in agreement.

Ye Qiu watched them with a smile. Both his younger brothers were good children. Facing so much money without a hint of greed was enough to prove their character. That they turned out the way they did in their previous lives was genuinely a result of being driven to a desperate situation and pressured too harshly.
