28: Split the family, Ye Dong! Buddy, you're late!
The next morning.
The four maidservants, Chun, Xia, Qiu, and Dong, had prepared breakfast early.
When Ye An woke up, he saw that not only the four maidservants but also the three madams were looking at him eagerly.
They were clearly all waiting for him to announce how to resolve the current material requisition order!
Ye An smiled when he saw this.
"It's just a small material requisition order. Do you really need to be so worried?"
Ye Yinger quickly said.
"Husband, this matter is of great importance, please take it to heart!"
Ye Tonger also quickly said.
"Yes, Husband, we have already accompanied you for two full days as you requested!"
"You can't lie to us!"
Ye An smiled.
"When did I lie to you!"
"You just want to know what to do, it's simple!"
"First, sit down and eat. Later, I'll go to the shop with you!"
As he spoke, Ye An also looked at Ye Xinlian beside him!
"Xin Lian, you go too!"
"Okay!"
Ye Xinlian didn't think much of it and immediately agreed.
Seeing Ye An so confident, Ye Yinger and the other two no longer urged him but sat down to eat breakfast together.
After breakfast, Ye An then took the three women and two of the maidservants and set off for the shop!
...Meanwhile, at the shop!
The family head, Ye Quan, was sitting on a chair, looking unhappily at the two maidservants in front of her.
"What did you just say?"
"Tonger and Ying Er haven't been to the shop for two full days?"
"Yes, family head, but there hasn't been much business these two days anyway, ever since the Main Family issued the material requisition order!"
"The market here has been very slow, and almost no one from the other branch families has come either!"
"That's right, that's right. Sister Ying Er and Sister Tonger might have been in seclusion these two days, trying to find a way to improve their Talismans and Medicinal Pills!"
Hearing this, Ye Quan couldn't help but sigh.
"This material requisition order has really put a burden on the two of them!"
"I wonder if it has affected their relationship with Ye An!"
"Tier-3 Talismans and Medicinal Pills are already difficult to refine!"
"If they really can't refine them, then so be it. After all, everyone is from the Ye family. Even if we really merge in the future!"
"They'll still have food and clothing. If they can get pregnant during this opportunity, their status will also rise accordingly!"
"These two children are just too earnest, wholeheartedly wanting to do something for our branch family!"
As she spoke, Ye Quan also stood up.
"Since that's the case, I'll go see them. You all get back to work!"
After speaking, Ye Quan was about to leave.
However, just then, Ye An had already walked in with Ye Yinger and the other woman.
Seeing Ye Quan, the three of them were also stunned and quickly bowed.
"Greetings, family head!"
Ye Quan quickly waved her hand.
"No need for formalities, Tonger, Ying Er, I heard you haven't been to the shop for two days?"
Ye Yinger and Ye Tonger's cheeks flushed when they heard this.
Ye Quan, however, took their hands and said.
"Alas, for this material requisition order, you two have truly suffered!"
"But you and Ye An have only been married for a short time, so you should prioritize the harmony of your small family!"
"As for the materials, if there's really no way, then so be it!"
Hearing Ye Quan's words, the two women were moved, and their pretty faces also turned red.
They had indeed suffered a lot these two days trying to resolve the material requisition order.
However, this suffering was not mental but physical!
"Family head, actually, these two days we..."
Ye Yinger was about to explain.
Suddenly, a man's voice came from the doorway.
"Oh, do you all know I'm coming? Why is everyone here today!"
"Grandma Ye, even you've come?"
"I suppose it's also for the Main Family's material requisition order!"
As he spoke, a young man entered with a guard.
The young man was unfamiliar, holding a fan, and looked somewhat refined.
"Who is he?"
Ye An didn't recognize this person and asked in a low voice.
Ye Xinlian explained.
"He's from a branch family, named Ye Dong!"
"A man from the Ye family? Why isn't he from the Main Family?"
Ye An was puzzled.
Logically, the Ye family was in dire need of men. If there was a Junior male, he would basically be sent to the Main Family for cultivation!
Ye Xinlian said.
"This Ye Dong has no Spiritual Root. The Main Family originally married him to five wives!"
"But so far, only one woman, who also has no Spiritual Root, has become pregnant. The other four show no signs!"
"There was no choice, so the Main Family sent him back!"
"But he is a man after all, so his status in the branch family is also very high!"
Ye An suddenly understood when he heard this.
While the two of them were talking.
Ye Yinger, who was nearby, spoke.
"Ye Dong? Why have you come?"
"At this critical juncture, shouldn't you also be trying to gather materials?"
Ye Dong smiled when he heard this.
"Sister Ying Er is truly clever!"
"It is precisely because of the matter of gathering materials that I have come!"
"Sister Ying Er, if I'm not mistaken, your branch family currently has no one who can produce Tier-3 Medicinal Pills, Talismans, or Formations, right?"
Ye Yinger nodded.
"You're not mistaken, we are indeed temporarily unable to produce them!"
"So you've come to help us?"
Ye Tonger asked.
Ye Dong, however, smiled.
"Whether I've come to help you or not depends on whether you can offer me satisfactory chips!"
"Chips? You can name a price. As long as it's not too outrageous, we can consider it!"
Ye Quan said when she heard this.
However, Ye Dong smiled.
"Grandma Ye, you've misunderstood!"
"The chips I'm talking about are not Spirit Stones!"
"At this critical juncture, branch families like yours are all eagerly trying to buy Tier-3 materials!"
"If it were for Spirit Stones, why would I travel all this way to your place?"
Ye Yinger frowned.
"Then what do you want?"
"Also, I remember your branch family doesn't seem to have the ability to produce Tier-3 materials either, do you?"
Ye Dong, however, smiled.
"Not so!"
"As it happens, a few days ago, a Formation Master in our branch family made a Breakthrough to Tier-3!"
"Although it's only Formations, at least they are Tier-3 materials, aren't they?"
Ye Quan said.
"Then what exactly do you want?"
Ye Dong chuckled, looked at Ye Yinger and Ye Tonger, and said.
"Grandma Ye, I won't beat around the bush with you anymore!"
"To be honest, I've admired Ying Er and Tonger for a long time. As long as you agree to marry them to me!"
"I will provide your branch family with ten Tier 3 Formation scrolls!"
"As you know, these Tier 3 Formation scrolls are not like other things!"
"Even a Tier 3 Formation Master can only engrave one scroll a day at most!"
"I'm providing you with ten, which is already one-third of our output!"
"Ten Tier 3 Formation scrolls as a betrothal gift should be enough to show my sincerity, right?"
"When the border branch families are reorganized in the future, if our branch family is ranked first, you can at least be ranked second, can't you?"
Ye Quan was clearly startled when she heard this.
Ye Yinger and Ye Tonger, who were nearby, were also stunned, but they quickly reacted.
Ye Yinger said directly.
"Young Master Ye, if that's the case, I'm very sorry!"
"We cannot agree, please go back!"
Ye Dong smiled when he heard this.
"What you say doesn't count. Grandma Ye, you decide!"
"Could it be that you really want your branch family to have no say at all when the branch families are reorganized in the future?"
Ye Quan's face turned ugly when she heard this and said.
"Can you suggest something else? Although you are a man, you have five wives, and for so many years, not a single woman with a Spiritual Root has become pregnant!"
"If I marry Ying Er and Tonger to you, I would be harming them!"
Ye Dong's face darkened when he heard this and said.
"It's already difficult for cultivators to get pregnant, can you blame me for that?"
"Since you're speaking so directly, I won't pretend anymore!"
"I just fancy their looks. I don't care about having children!"
"Do you want future status, or do you want to guard them for a lifetime? You decide!"
"You'd better think carefully. Once our branch family takes the lead in the future, I can still marry them!"
Before Ye Quan could speak when she heard this.
Ye An, however, laughed.
"First! Your branch family cannot take the lead!"
"Second! Ying Er and Tonger were already married to me not long ago, and both of them are already pregnant!"
"So, buddy, you're too late!"
