"Don't tell your father that you have signed the contract of twenty taels," Ye Zexian said to Zi Mu as the two of them drove out of the Big River Village in the carriage that Yu Dong arranged for them.
Zi Mu pursed his lips and said, "But we told them that we are going out to meet your brother for business." He also did not want to go against Ye Zexian but his daddy was like a dog who could sniff money as if his nose were built to detect money and nothing else.
Ye Zexian curled his lips and then glanced at his husband with an annoyed look on his face, "Zi Mu, I am telling you this one last time. You and I need to separate from your parents. They are like leeches, it's fine if you want to raise your elder brothers, but why should my daughter work hard and raise that good for nothing, Zi Zhong? Do you think that your eldest brother and his offspring are a family mantle that one needs to inherit and carry on to the next generation? This is enough!"
