My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 166: The Chapter Arrives at Ye Family Village

After a two-hour bus ride, Zhang Lei and the three sisters, Ye Shuqin, got off at the town's bus stop.

After getting off the cart, they waited by the roadside for a while until a bullock cart heading towards Yejia Village came along. The four of them loaded their luggage onto the bullock cart, sat in the bumpy carriage, and after a long, swaying ride, they finally arrived at Yejia Village.

After a bumpy ride, the four of them finally arrived at the entrance of Ye Family Village.

They arrived at Yejiacun, but Zhang Lei was already exhausted. He had been vomiting the whole way since he got on the bus, and was almost completely collapsed. He could only drag his tired body behind the three sisters, his steps unsteady and his face pale.

As for the man who had been vomited on, he was initially relentless and wanted to cause trouble for Zhang Lei. However, the three sisters, Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, and Ye Shuhua, stepped forward and, through their fists and persuasion, the man promptly backed down.

Ye Shuhua walked at the front and immediately spotted her second brother's eldest son, Ye Mingxuan, calling out happily, "Mingxuan! Mingxuan!"

Hearing someone call his name, Ye Mingxuan looked up and saw that his three aunts had returned. He immediately ran over happily, calling out, "Auntie, Auntie, is that you?"

Ye Shuhua stepped forward, grabbed Ye Mingxuan, and said with a smile, "Good lad, how come you don't even recognize your aunt?"

Ye Mingxuan was a little shy, scratched his head and said, "Auntie, I just recognized you."

Ye Shuhua said, "Quick, run home and tell your grandparents we're back!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Mingxuan immediately turned and ran towards the village, shouting as he ran, "My three aunts are back! My three aunts are back!"

The first to hear the news was Ye Jianjun, the eldest brother of Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, and Ye Shuhua. As soon as he heard that his sisters had returned, he hurried to the village entrance.

Running to the village entrance, Ye Jianjun saw that it really was Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, and Ye Shuhua. He happily greeted them, "Shuqin, Shuqi, Shuhua, the three of you are back!"

The three sisters stepped forward with smiles: "Big brother, we're back!"

Ye Jianjun looked at them, grinning from ear to ear, then suddenly slapped his forehead as if remembering something: "Oh right, where are your men?"

Upon hearing this question, the three realized what was happening and quickly turned around to look for Zhang Lei, who was following behind them.

When Ye Jianjun saw Zhang Lei's exhausted and pale appearance, his heart skipped a beat, thinking that he had been wronged.

He immediately pulled the three Ye sisters aside, lowered his voice, and reprimanded them sternly, "Did you three hit him? Bully him? Shuqin, what's wrong with you as the eldest sister? Aren't you keeping an eye on your two younger sisters? Even though you know martial arts, you can't use that to bully your man! Look how haggard you've become in such a short time!"

Upon hearing their eldest brother's words, the three sisters immediately realized that he had misunderstood and quickly stepped forward to explain.

Ye Shuqin quickly waved her hand and said, "Big brother, you've misunderstood. How could we possibly bully our own man?"

Ye Shuqi also stepped forward to add, "Yes, brother, what he did has nothing to do with us."

Ye Jianjun frowned, pointed in Zhang Lei's direction, and said, "That's Zhang Lei... What happened to Zhang Lei?"

Ye Shuqin looked helplessly at her older brother and explained, "Brother, he gets carsick and vomited the whole way. It's already quite good that he can walk normally now."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jianjun glanced at the numerous bags and packages Zhang Lei was carrying and immediately became furious, rebuking him, "Then why did you let him carry all that stuff? Didn't you know to help him with some of the load?"

Ye Shuhua pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved, and said, "Big brother, there's nothing we can do. Didn't you see we're carrying loads of packages too?"

Upon hearing Ye Shuhua's words, Ye Jianjun noticed that their hands were indeed full of things, leaving them no free hands. He quickly turned around, ran to Zhang Lei, took the things from Zhang Lei's hands, and comforted him with concern, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you've really worked hard!"

Zhang Lei waved his hand, his face pale, and said weakly, "Big brother...it's alright, it's alright..."

Seeing Zhang Lei struggling to even speak, Ye Jianjun felt a pang of sympathy and said, "Why don't you sit here for a while and rest before you leave?"

Zhang Lei shook his head, gritting his teeth and insisting, "No need, we're almost home, I can still manage."

Soon, news of the return of the three Ye sisters spread throughout half the village. Zhang Lei, with the help of his eldest brother Ye Jianjun, finally arrived at the Ye family home.

The three sisters, Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, and Ye Shuhua, immediately surrounded their mother, Zhang Yulan, with great joy upon seeing her. Zhang Lei, however, dragged his weary body and stood barely to the side.

Soon, the whole family was seated in the main room. Grandpa Ye Zhenshan looked at his three granddaughters and asked, "Shuqin, Shuqi, Shuhua, how are you three doing in the city?"

Ye Shuqi stood up and said with a smile, "Grandpa, we are doing very well in the city, and both Shuhua and I have jobs."

Upon hearing that the two women had gone to work, the eyes of the eldest sister-in-law Wang Lihua, the second sister-in-law Zhao Chunyan, and the third sister-in-law Sun Qiuyue all lit up.

Wang Lihua quickly asked, "Shuqi, Shuhua, are you two really working? What are your salaries and benefits like?"

Ye Shuhua also stood up and replied, "Sister-in-law, my second sister works in the publicity department of the steel rolling mill, which is very easy. As for me, I work at the supply and marketing cooperative in our neighborhood, which isn't tiring either."

Hearing Ye Shuhua's words, Zhao Chunyan, the second sister-in-law, said enviously, "You two have really good jobs, and Zhang Lei is so good to you."

Third Sister-in-law Sun Qiuyue then looked at Ye Shuqin and asked, "Shuqin, Shuqi and Shuhua both have jobs. What about you? Do you have a job?"

Ye Shuqin looked at her third sister-in-law and said with a smile, "Third sister-in-law, I'm just staying home tidying up the house. Zhang Lei didn't let me go out to work."

Ye Shouhe, Ye's father, looked at Zhang Lei and said with a smile, "Zhang Lei, you've really worked hard."

Zhang Lei shook his head and said, "I...I'm not tired."

Seeing his haggard appearance, everyone thought to themselves: "You're already like this, aren't you tired?"

At this moment, Ye Jianjun stood up awkwardly, coughed, and said, "Dad, let's let Zhang Lei rest for a bit. He gets carsick and vomited the whole way here; he barely made it home."

Upon hearing Ye Jianjun's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.

Upon hearing this, Ye Shouhe quickly said, "Jianjun, go help Zhang Lei and let him rest for a while."
