Chapter 261: 261 Blind with Eyes Open Chapter 261: 261 Blind with Eyes Open But Ye Gaoshui overlooked what kind of family the Zhao Family was.

Moreover, Mrs. Zhao had been quite capable in the Zhao Family before, but that was because she had no choice. After getting married, although Mrs. He had a bad temper, at least she didn’t resort to physical violence. The days in the Ye Family were indeed much better compared to those in the Zhao Family, making Mrs. Zhao grow even lazier.

Now, enlightened by Ye Jiu, Ye Gaoshui realized the seriousness of this matter.

Ye Gaoshui was worried that his own sons would end up like the sons of the Zhao Family, only surviving on their daughters’ behalf, yet his daughters could be prevented from touching anything of value, a situation he found unbearable.

Seeing how Ye Gaoshui admitted his error so readily, Ye Jiu understood that Ye Gaoshui had not intentionally created challenges for his children; he was simply a biased fool.

Ye Jiu didn’t know if he should feel fortunate; although Mrs. Zhao fundamentally shared the same male-favored bias as the Zhao Family, she still valued her nephews over her own children. Thus, though the two sons from the second branch didn’t undergo challenges, they also didn’t receive much favoritism.

Fortunately, Wenxuan and Wenyu were still good children, not spoiled by their mother, the only pity being that they still couldn’t handle responsibilities well, much like their uncle.

Ye Jiu didn’t believe that, as brothers, they didn’t see what Ye Qingzhi went through in the second branch; it was merely out of habit that they refrained from intervening.

To say Ye Wenxuan was still young, but Ye Wenyu would be fourteen in a few months!

“Second Brother, you should really think it over,” said Ye Jiu impatiently. Plus, considering Qingzhi had injuries on her hands, he left only these words and then led Ye Qingzhi to the main house.

Ye Gaoshui returned to his room with a complex expression, then looked at Mrs. Zhao impatiently, “Why are you still sitting there? The clothes are still thrown outside, don’t you want them?”

Ye Jiu’s voice was not soft, and most people in the courtyard must have heard him.

Feeling somewhat guilty, Mrs. Zhao shyly got up without a word and obediently went outside to gather the clothes.

Looking at the clothes now muddy on the ground, Mrs. Zhao inwardly blamed Ye Qingzhi for being useless, unable to handle even such a small matter, forcing her to make an extra trip.

With no choice, Mrs. Zhao had to collect the clothes and take another trip to the riverbank. After washing them again and drying them properly, only then did she dare to return to her room.

As Ye Gaoshui sat on the edge of the kang, he suddenly spoke, “Little sister has a point, Qingzhi is still young. Let’s not make the child do so much anymore.”

Mrs. Zhao was somewhat unwilling, thinking if Qingzhi did not do it, she would have to.

Yet, Mrs. Zhao, having only been allowed back a few days, didn’t dare to retort, but she took note of this grievance against Ye Qingzhi.

“I understand,” Mrs. Zhao said sullenly.

Ye Jiu sat Ye Qingzhi down and then applied medicine to her, and instantly, Qingzhi felt a cool relief on her injured area and the pain ceased.

“Thank you, Aunt,” Ye Qingzhi said, looking up at Ye Jiu.

“Alright, go change your clothes first. And don’t touch water with your hands for the next couple of days,” Ye Jiu instructed.

Ye Qingzhi hesitated slightly but eventually nodded and then ran out.

Mrs. He looked at the retreating figure of Qingzhi, uncertain of her emotions, and warned Ye Jiu, “Xiaojiu, it’s kind of you to want to help her, but have you considered that stirring things up might not actually be in her best interest?”

“Mom?” Ye Jiu knew this, of course; otherwise, he wouldn’t have endured so long. But should he just stand by and watch Qingzhi, a child, handle so many tasks every day?
