Unfortunately, Ye Jiu was unaware of the thoughts in the old man Ye's heart.
"Wenzheng and I went out together. He had some things to handle, so I drove the ox cart back," Ye Jiu replied, avoiding the more serious issues.
However, the old man Ye did not give up questioning, "Then why do the villagers say that you and he are very close? What's that about?"
"It's nothing. Since the family business has been handed over to my brother, I wanted to make some pocket money for myself, so I started a small business with Wenzheng outside. Dad, you don't need to worry about me."
Fearing that the old man Ye would go on endlessly, Ye Jiu simply put the ox's lead into the old man Ye's hand, saying, "Dad, I just got back from outside, and I'm almost dead from the heat. Please go tie up the ox for me."
After saying this, Ye Jiu went into the house, completely disregarding the look on the old man Ye's face as he opened his mouth to say something.
