Parents are busy farming

These ten days have been a long and difficult journey for Ye Zifen, Ye Ziwei and Ye Zining.

During the day, Ye Zifen and Ye Ziwei were crowded on the same horse. In order to save energy, they took turns to rest.

Ye Zining, on the other hand, took advantage of the horse's break to rest against the clock.

Food is also prepared in a hurry during this short period of time, and then eaten while on the road to satisfy hunger.

Within two days, the lips of all three people began to peel, which was an obvious sign that the body was dehydrated.

Although Ye Zifen hurriedly boiled water as soon as it was time to rest, in such hot weather and traveling long distances, water shortage was unavoidable.

Ye Zining didn't complain at all. He understood that there was an emergency at home and everyone was doing their best.

When the three finally returned to Lujiacun, they could no longer be simply described as "travelled".

It was a hot noon, the sun was blazing and the heat wave was rolling.

The three brothers and sisters rode horses slowly into the village, and the sound of horse hooves echoed in the quiet village.

Many people in the village stopped what they were doing and watched them quietly.

Their faces were full of exhaustion and haggard, and their eyes revealed endless vicissitudes of life, which made people feel heartbroken.

The villagers looked at them silently, with concern and sympathy in their eyes.

Villager A sighed softly: "Oh! He came back after a long and dusty journey! Look at that man, his face is haggard and disfigured. Think about what a handsome and iconic person the fifth girl of the Ye family was back then! How many kilograms of meat have been lost? Look at the sunken cheeks!"

Villager B agreed: "Yes, look at the other two people too. Their faces are tired and exhausted."

Among them, the change of Ye Zifen is the most obvious.

She used to be so beautiful, but now her face is thin and pale, as if she has lost her life.

The original sparkle in her eyes became dim, making people feel sorry for her.

The villagers' hearts were filled with sympathy. They knew that these three people were so tired from the long journey.

Villager A said with regret: "The horse has also lost a lot of weight. When the caravan left, the horse was so strong that it made many people jealous. Look at it now... tsk tsk!"

His tone was full of distress for the horse.

Lao Li and Li Daniu have always been in charge of the horses in the caravan. The father and son are extremely attentive and caring towards these animals.

Sometimes, Mrs. Feng would jokingly say that her father and son raised these horses as children, and they were even more careful than raising children.

Yes, Ye Zifen also felt the same. She saw that Lao Li and Li Daniu were either preparing fodder or preparing water. They also brushed the horses from time to time, and sometimes even let the horses take a collective bath in the river.

As long as they are home, that meadow is a paradise for horses.

Villager C also sighed: "Who says it's not the case? It seems that they are anxious and worried about the situation at home, so they are rushing so hard. You said that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ye family is the same, so she can't think more about the children."

Villager C's face was full of worry. He was a little dissatisfied with the behavior of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ye family, but he couldn't say it was her village.

Villager A quickly shook his head and said: "You can't say this nonsense. She can't decide whether you want to live or die! The King of Hell will let you die at dawn, and he won't let you die until dawn."

There was a hint of helplessness in Villager A's tone. He knew that many things in life were unpredictable, and so did the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ye family...

Villager C quickly explained: "I really feel sorry for the children of the Ye family. The younger children are still so young and ignorant. What will their future be like? The older children have to take care of outside things. It’s so sad to have to take care of the family so hard, and now something like this has happened! There is also Li Zheng, he is the only one left in the Ye family, and he is so lonely, so pitiful!"

Villager A: "Yes! From now on, just think about these things in your heart and don't say them out loud."

When someone dies, it's a sad thing. Things are unpredictable and life is so fragile. No one can predict what will happen tomorrow.

Ye Zifen and others drove their horses to the door of Ye's house, dismounted in a hurry, and ran straight into the courtyard of Ye's house without even bothering to fasten the reins.

However, the moment Ye Zifen crossed the threshold of the Ye family, her steps suddenly became heavy, as if being held back by an invisible force.

It turned out that what she was looking at was the coffin placed in the yard.

The coffin has been painted with tung oil, and Ye Yongwang wipes it carefully every day.

Before the sight of white outside the door could shock Ye Zifen, the coffin gave her a greater psychological impact.

Ye Ziwei was keenly aware of the pause in her sister's footsteps, and her heart sank as she unconsciously slowed down.

"Sister?" Ye Ziwei called softly, with a hint of doubt and worry in her voice.

Ye Zifen slowly turned to look at Ye Ziwei, nodded, and said firmly: "Let's go! Go in and kowtow."

Her face instantly turned cold, as if all her emotions were buried deep in her heart.

The two sisters and Ye Zining supported each other and walked towards the house step by step with difficulty.

Every step he takes seems to require all his strength.

The moment they stepped into the house, a cold air hit their faces, making people shiver.

When the three of them slowly walked into the house, Zhi Xuan, Ye Chengsi and Zhi Fang who were keeping vigil all turned their attention to the door.

At first, their eyes were full of confusion and doubt, as if they were trying to identify these three strange figures.

However, when the three people knelt down and kowtowed, all their doubts disappeared, and they suddenly realized that the three people in front of them were the people they had been waiting for.

The three of them kowtowed and slowly stood up.

Ye Chengsi's voice trembled, and he shouted with uncontrollable excitement: "Fifth sister, you are back!"

The voice was mixed with fear and grievance. The calming needle in his heart finally returned, but the fifth sister at this moment was almost unrecognizable to him.

He ran over and hugged Ye Zifen's thigh.

Tears welled up in Zifang's eyes, and she shouted with tears in her eyes: "Fifth sister, sixth sister, first cousin, you... why have you lost so much weight, wuwu!"

Distressed tears slid down her cheeks.

When the people in the room heard Ye Chengsi's shouting, they hurried out to check.

Their eyes fell on the three children, and they were instantly shocked and speechless by their appearance.

Especially Ye Lanshi, when she saw that her son had lost so much weight, his lips were full of cracks, and the dried blood had condensed on them, her heart was twisted like a knife, and her tears were like a flood bursting from a dam, with big eyes. The particles rolled down.
