On the other side, when Ye Zechuan sent Wen Yu's chess pieces to the patriarch's room, Ye Tianhua had already taken medicine and was lying on the bed.

In order not to disturb the patriarch's rest, he put down the chess box and left quietly.

Ye Zechuan planned to go back to the kitchen to help his mother with the work. Because five more people suddenly moved into Penglai Courtyard, the workload of mother and son preparing dinner tonight would be doubled.

Halfway through, he thought about it and turned back to the lakeside, taking the lotus root he had pulled out and taking it back to the kitchen.

"Mother, I'm back." When Ye Zechuan walked into the backyard kitchen, he saw his mother sitting next to the well chopping firewood. He quickly put down the lotus roots and walked over quickly, "Mother, your waist is not good, you will have to do such menial work in the future.

Let me do it."

While speaking, he had already taken the ax from the woman's hand.

The woman raised her face and looked at the boy beside her, with loving eyes in her eyes: "Ah Chuan, I'm not even 70 or 80 years old, I can still do such a small thing as chopping firewood." Her voice was very nice, thin, soft, and very gentle.

As she spoke, the sun hit the side of her face. She had a very young and beautiful face. Her apricot eyes were as dark as paint, her eyes were gentle, and her unpainted face had a faint smile, like a clear lotus in full bloom.

.

And in the same position under the corner of her left eye, there was a mole that was exactly the same as Ye Zechuan's.

She had her hair tied up in a bun, and was wearing a coarse cloth gown and long skirt, but she still couldn't hide her gorgeous and extraordinary temperament.

Such a woman can be unforgettable with just one glance.

Her name is Ye Suxue, and she was once the most beautiful woman on Ye Island.

"Mother, do you know? I met three of the five people who lived in Penglaiyuan this time, and one of them will inherit the position of patriarch in the future." Ye Zechuan did not tell what Xixi had done to him today, but

Choose some simple but important news to tell your mother.

They often came to live in the backyard, almost cutting off all opportunities to communicate with outsiders. His mother was gentle but also cold. Apart from him, she was indifferent to anything happening in the outside world.

"Really?" Ye Suxue smiled faintly, sat down on the wooden bench next to her son, and began to lower her head and pick vegetables attentively, without any intention of asking any more questions.

"Mother, their surname is Ye, but they are not from our island." Ye Zechuan raised his ax and split a thick log in half, and then continued, "Mother, don't you think it's strange? Why did Grandpa do this?

Pass the position of clan leader to someone other than Ye Dao?"

Ye Suxue did not stop picking vegetables in her hands, but replied casually: "It's nothing surprising. In recent years, Ye Dao has sent out fewer people? Hasn't your second uncle also been living outside the island?"

Thirty years ago, the patriarch decided to send his descendant to live and study outside the island. The purpose at that time was to let him learn advanced technologies from various countries and strengthen the entire Ye family when he returned.

At that time, Ye Zechuan's father was the heir who was most valued by the clan leader. Ye Suxue was his childhood sweetheart, but he was inevitably sent away from Ye Island when he was ten years old.

It is a pity that many members of the Ye clan failed to withstand the temptation of the colorful world. Under the influence of various negative social trends, they became selfish and selfish, and even committed fratricide with their clan members for money and power.
