It seemed a little inappropriate. Ye Jian coughed to hide her awkwardness.
Then, she heard him say, “Grandpa and Father-in-law gave me thick red packets as well. Look at me. I accepted them calmly without any psychological burden. Similarly, when you come to my house, you should be at ease too.
Don’t feel burdened.
He passed the red sandalwood box to Ye Jian and encouraged her, “Come, open it and see what it is.”
Ye Jian took it and put it aside. She shook her head. “No, let’s go and accompany the elders first. We’ve been in the room for so long. If we don’t go out… Let’s go out first.’
“I have no objections if you want to go out now. However, I’m just worried that you’ll be too shy and can’t stand the praises of the elders. Don’t make things difficult for yourself when the time comes.” Xia Jinyuan leaned over and pinched Ye Jian’s face with his slender fingers. The smile in his eyes was gentle. “Grandma asked us to go back to the room because she wants me to bring you to hide first. It won’t be too late to go after the heat dissipates.”
The old madam had been paying attention to Ye Jian. She saw that Ye Jian’s face had been red ever since she entered the house. She knew that she had always been very shy. When Ye Jian received the red packets from the elders, she seemed a little helpless. This made the old madam pity her.
Poor girl. She grew up in such an environment when she was young. She had heard from Little Six that Little Ye didn’t have a good life when she was young. When she was still in primary school, she was kicked unconscious by her terrible uncle during the new year. Then, she was thrown into the deep snow by the roadside by Grandma Ye, who later passed away from a stroke. If Grandpa Gen hadn’t gone home and saved Little Ye’s life, Little Six might not have been able to get a wife in this lifetime.
The old madam tried not to think about this. Every time she thought about it, her heart would ache.
In the past, Little Ye didn’t receive any red packets from the elders during the new year. She didn’t even get any new clothes. She would just wear Ye Zhifan’s daughter’s old clothes from two years ago. There’d even be holes in the old clothes. However, they looked fine on the outside. The family was afraid that others would gossip, so they only cut the inside of the clothes and not the outside.
The old madam’s heart ached for Ye Jian. Naturally, she would be more concerned about Ye Jian. Otherwise, Ye Jian would not have been able to retreat into the room after accepting so many red packets.
Xia Jinyuan received the old madam’s message and brought Ye Jian back to his room.
The elders listened to the old madam’s arrangements. They knew that Ye Jian would feel awkward. When the time came, she wouldn’t be able to face them with a pile of red packets in her hands. Thus, she should just go back to the room so that she could put the red packets away before coming out again.
Although Ye Jian wasn’t as good as Xia Jinyuan in terms of building relationships, she knew that the elders could tell that she was awkward when she went to the room after receiving the red packets. That was why they asked her to take a breather first.
It had been almost ten minutes. That was enough for her to run more than two kilometers! If she didn’t go out now, it would be rude of her.
When the elders saw Xia Jinyuan holding Ye Jian’s hand and coming back, the love in their eyes didn’t decrease. They looked at her as if she was their daughter. They smiled and pulled Ye Jian to the side to talk about her. They didn’t mention the words ‘red packet’.
The most they asked was if Little Six treated her well. If Little Six did anything wrong, she didn’t need to worry. They, as his family, would educate him directly and not let him push his luck.
“Men need to be taught a lesson. After dealing with him a few times, he’ll become obedient. If not, he’ll be nothing but trouble!” The thoughtful Little Aunt imparted her experience to Ye Jian.
Although Second Aunt’s husband died in the line of duty, she still held Ye Jian’s hand and said gently, “Little Six might be a little cold sometimes, but he’s kind deep down in his heart. He has a good relationship with Yiwei. At such a young age, he already knew how to protect his cousin and not let her suffer. Now that he’s looking after you, I can guarantee that he won’t let you down..”
