My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 167: A Luxurious Gift

After Ye Jianjun helped Zhang Lei leave, the Ye family members finally started talking amongst themselves.

Ye Shuqin, as the eldest sister, stood up, opened the package she had brought, and said, "Grandpa and Grandma, Dad and Mom, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, and third sister-in-law, Zhang Lei brought gifts for everyone."

As they spoke, the three sisters, Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, and Ye Shuhua, opened their respective packages.

Ye Shuqin first took out two packs of cigarettes, two bottles of wine, two boxes of tea, and two boxes of biscuits, and placed them next to Ye Zhenshan and his grandmother, saying, "Grandpa, Grandma, these are for you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhenshan was overjoyed and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "This...this is too much! Your grandmother and I don't need so much. Give it to others."

Ye Shuqin then took out two packs of cigarettes, two bottles of wine, and two boxes of pastries, and handed them to her father, Ye Shouhe.

As for the eldest brother Ye Jianjun, the second brother Ye Jianlin, and the third brother Ye Jianguo, each of them received a pack of cigarettes, a bottle of wine, and two boxes of snacks.

The men of the Ye family beamed with joy when they saw what they had in their hands.

At this moment, the second brother, Ye Jianlin, stood up and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Big sister, second sister, and little sister, the three of you have brought so much stuff. How much did this cost?"

Upon hearing Ye Jianlin's words, everyone looked at Ye Shuqin and the others.

Ye Shuqin smiled and said, "Many of these things were given to Zhang Lei by others, and Zhang Lei is not short of money. This is his way of showing his appreciation."

Ye Shouhe frowned, looked at Ye Shuqin and the other two, and said, "That won't do either. Look at all this stuff, how much will it cost? We're letting you three marry Zhang Lei so you can live a good life, how can you be so extravagant?"

Ye Shuhua stepped forward and quickly said, "Dad, it's not what you think. We told him not to bring so much, but Zhang Lei insisted on taking so much. This is only part of it; there are also clothes for Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad, and Sister-in-law, and things for the children, all over there."

Hearing Ye Shuhua's words, everyone was startled, realizing that what had just been taken out was only a portion.

At this moment, the three sisters, Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, and Ye Shuhua, opened all the remaining packages.

They first gave their grandparents new clothes and shoes, then gave their parents new clothes and shoes, and also prepared a new outfit for each of their eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, and third sister-in-law.

In addition, Grandma, Mother, Eldest Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, and Third Sister-in-law each received a bottle of face cream.

At this moment, the third brother, Ye Jianjiang, stepped forward. Looking at the mess on the ground, he couldn't help but ask, "Where are our clothes? Why do we only have cigarettes and alcohol?"

Before Ye Shuqin could even speak, Ye Shouhe flew into a rage, kicked Ye Jianjiang, and yelled, "Isn't all that stuff enough for you? What more clothes do you want? Have you forgotten your roots after getting married, or are you trying to compete with your sisters?"

Ye Jianjiang saw his father's foot kicking towards his buttocks, so he quickly dodged to the side and said with an embarrassed smile, "Dad, I was just joking. I was just asking casually."

Looking at her third brother's disheveled appearance, Ye Shuqin smiled and said, "Big brother, second brother, third brother, I didn't prepare clothes for you, but there are other good things that I guarantee you'll be very happy when you hear them."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Ye Shuqin with curiosity.

The eldest sister-in-law, Wang Lihua, couldn't hold back any longer and asked directly, "Shuqin, what good stuff are you talking about? Tell us quickly."

Ye Shuqin smiled slightly, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be impatient, you'll find out soon enough. This is a secret for now."

Holding Ye Shuqin's hand, Ye's mother, Zhang Yulan, asked with concern, "Daughter, tell me, what's life like in the city? How does Zhang Lei usually treat the three of you?"

Upon hearing their mother's question, the three sisters, Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, and Ye Shuhua, recounted their experiences, from the time they first arrived at the courtyard house and were initially occupied, to how Zhang Lei resolved the situation and gradually improved their lives.

As Ye Shouhe listened to their stories, his expression shifted from anger to a relieved smile, his face changing like a mask.

After listening, Grandpa Ye Zhenshan smiled and said, "Good, good! I knew I hadn't misjudged him. Zhang Lei is a good kid who can be entrusted with my care."

Grandma Li Xiumei nodded and smiled, "Yes, it seems that letting the three of them marry Zhang Lei was indeed the right choice."

The whole family nodded in agreement, feeling that Zhang Lei was sincere to the three sisters and also very capable in dealing with people.

The group was chatting animatedly in the living room when the younger members of the Ye family came running over.

The seven children are: eldest son Ye Mingyu and second son Ye Minghui from eldest brother Ye Jianjun's family; eldest son Ye Mingxuan and eldest daughter Ye Mingyue from second brother Ye Jianlin's family; and three children from third brother Ye Jianjiang's family: eldest son Ye Mingxun, eldest daughter Ye Mingxi, and second daughter Ye Mingshan.

Knowing that their aunt had returned, all seven were called back by Ye Mingxuan.

The three sisters were overjoyed to see their seven nephews and nieces and quickly took out the gifts they had prepared for them in advance from their package—two toys and a bag of candy for each of them.

The children were overjoyed to see the toys and candy in their hands, constantly calling out, "Auntie! Auntie!"

Seeing the children's happy faces, Zhao Chunyan, the second sister-in-law, said with a smile, "Shuqin, don't spoil them too much. Just give them a little bit, and put the rest away."

Hearing Zhao Chunyan's words, the children were startled and quickly hid the things in their clothes.

Ye Shuqin smiled and said, "Second Sister-in-law, it's alright. We haven't seen them for so long, it's only right to buy them something. Besides, who else should we, as their aunts, care for if not them?"

Hearing Ye Shuqin's words, Zhao Chunyan smiled and said, "Oh, Shuqin, you're so kind. You married Zhang Lei and now your whole family is benefiting from it."

At this moment, the eldest brother, Ye Jianjun, couldn't help but look at Ye Shuqin and say, "Shuqin, stop keeping me in suspense. What exactly was that surprise you were talking about?"

Seeing her elder brother speak, Ye Shuqin gave Ye Shuqi a wink. Ye Shuqi nodded, took out the six job certificates, and placed them on the table.

Everyone looked at the things on the table and curiously crowded around.

Ye Shouhe picked up one of the documents, examined it closely, and his eyes widened instantly. He said, "Shuqin, this...this is a work certificate?"

Upon hearing Ye Shouhe's words, everyone craned their necks to look ahead, and after confirming, they were all stunned.

Ye Jianlin, standing to the side, counted and said in disbelief, "Six...six positions!"
