After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land
Chapter 70 Dispute
Ye Dalang was full of questions. "Grandpa Lizheng, my family never asked them to help collect the money. We can't do that without bothering two people."
Xu Lizheng thought that the two families were engaged and that the Ye family made the decision to help their in-laws, but it seems that there is another hidden story.
"Grandpa Village Head, let me go over there and see if there is any misunderstanding." Ye Dalang took his sister and went out.
Xu Lizheng saw that something was not right and hurriedly called his son to follow him.
When Ye Qing and Ye Dalang arrived, they happened to see people from Ji Village selling lobsters.
"Xu Da, where is your father? Ask him to come out. Why did the price of lobsters drop? The head of the village was collecting them well, but you are collecting them and lowering the price." A villager shouted dissatisfiedly.
Xu Da's face was full of impatience: "It's up to you to sell it or not. If you don't want to sell it to me, go sell it to someone else and see if anyone will buy it."
"This is not your business, it's the Ye family's business. Why are you so arrogant?"
"You also know that it belongs to the Ye family. When my sister marries him, all of it will belong to my sister, so it will be mine."
The people around him stopped the person who was about to quarrel and persuaded him, "Xu Da, you can't write two Xus with one stroke. They are all uncles and brothers. If you offer a higher price, you can still save some money to get through the winter."
Xu Da refused to listen to the advice, "This is the price. If you don't want to sell it, take it back. But if you take it back, I won't accept yours anymore."
Ye Qing was standing at the door when he heard these words, and he was so angry that he couldn't help but scolded: "Shut up, my family has never lowered the price. Everyone has a hard time, why should we embarrass everyone, and how can the Ye family be yours?"
Ye Dalang also meant the same thing and stood beside his sister to support her.
The Xu brothers seemed to not understand his expression and continued to speak nonsense. "You are just a little girl, how can you have the right to speak? When my sister gets married, I will sell you as a maid."
Ye Qing admired the courage of these people. They dared to say anything. They were thinking about their in-laws' younger sister even before getting married.
Ye Dalang couldn't bear to see his sister being wronged. "Xu Da, who gave you the right to sell my sister? Qingya is right. The head of the village helped my family to collect her well. Who allowed you to lower the price without authorization?"
Ye Qingchen had figured out that Xu Da and his brothers were trying to make a profit by buying lobsters.
It's not impossible for you to speak frankly, but acting first and reporting later will ruin the reputation of the Ye family.
The people around understood that Xu Da wanted to make money for his own family.
"I'm helping you. We are family. Why bother the village head?" Xu Da looked like he was considering the Ye family.
Ye Qing said sarcastically: "We are a family, and you want to sell me out. I dare not be a family with you."
The Xu family members nearby were angry that Xu Da had cheated their family, but they were too embarrassed to say anything and wanted to wait until the Ye family left before settling the score with him.
"You have no right to speak here. Do you still want to marry my sister?" Xu Da used his trump card.
The brother and sister calmed down and decided that since the two families were relatives, they should just forget about it. They explained it to everyone and let Xu Lizheng take care of it.
At this time, Uncle Xu Da's brother came out to smooth things over. "Okay, let's just talk about this. Sit down and talk it over."
Xu Lizheng, who was supported by his son, rushed over and just heard these words.
"Yes, yes, it's all misunderstanding. Tell us slowly." Someone nearby told the head of the village what had just happened.
Xu Lizheng glared at Xu Da, then put on a smile and comforted the brother and sister.
Xu Da was very proud to see that the two men were still concerned about his sister, but he couldn't say anything because of the relationship with the head of the village.
Ye Qing glanced at Ye Dalang and said, "Grandpa Lizheng, you will be the one to collect the lobsters from now on. We won't bother my brother-in-law anymore."
Ye Dalang meant the same thing, so he didn't say anything.
Xu Da jumped out and said, "No, I've taken them all. Send them to me in the future."
Xu Lizheng's face turned black. This bastard didn't even give him any face.
"Where is your father? Let him come out and I will tell him." Xu Lizheng didn't know what he was planning.
"My father is not at home. He is weeding in the wasteland. I am the eldest in the family and I can make the decision."
"Uncle Xu, didn't you fall? It's only been a few days and you can get out of bed again." Ye Qing felt something was wrong.
Xu Lizheng didn't understand what was going on, so he explained, "It wasn't a serious fall, just a little scratch."
Ye Qing was so angry that his face turned green. He thought that his entire family had joined forces to deceive his brother.
Xu Da had forgotten about this and wanted to change his words, but he didn't know what to say.
Ye Dalang regretted getting married a little, and went back home in the evening to discuss what to do with his family.
"It's settled. From now on, the village head will be the one to collect the money. My family only wants the village head to collect the money." Ye Dalang made the final decision.
Xu Da was a little angry at being rejected. "It's OK if you don't let my family accept it. Your family should send thirty taels of betrothal gifts first. My family needs to build a house."
"The bride price is given when the wedding is about to take place. Now is not the right time." Ye Qing did not indulge him.
"I don't care. If you don't give it to me today, I'll cancel the engagement." Xu Da used the same trick again.
Ye Dalang was not a good-tempered person outside. "If you want to cancel the engagement, then cancel it. Let my father cancel it tomorrow."
Xu Da was a little panicked. This reaction was a little different from what he expected.
Xu Lizheng was no longer able to be angry, "What are you talking about? How can a marriage that has been arranged change so easily? This is not a joke."
Seeing that Ye Dalang's attitude remained unchanged, Xu Da became bolder and pushed Ye Qing towards him.
Ye Qing had been wary of him for a long time. How could someone who said he had sold himself out be a good person?
Ye Dalang stretched out his hand to stop him, and Ye Qing took two steps back and escaped the disaster.
Ye Dalang got angry and pushed Xu Da, causing Xu Da to lose his balance and fall to the ground.
Xu Da's younger brothers were unwilling to see their brother being pushed down, and three of them surrounded Ye Dalang.
Ye Qing also took a fighting stance, as he had seen this kind of scene many times while fleeing from famine.
Xu Li was busy asking his son to stand between the two people. His village still relied on the Ye family to make money, so he couldn't offend the two of them.
But Xu Lizheng’s son was the only one there, and Ye Dalang was pushed twice even though he was protecting his sister.
Xu Lizheng then called other members of the clan to go up and stop them.
But Xu Da stopped the Ye brothers and sisters from leaving and insisted that they would help harvest lobsters from now on.
The Ye brothers and sisters also have principles, and the two sides started arguing with each other.
At this time, Xu Zelan came over with a basket full of green grass on her back. She was at a loss when she saw the situation at home.
"Come here and tell Dalang that from now on, the lobsters should be collected by our family." Xu Da gave the order.
Xu Zelan shuddered with fear, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Sister Lan, he buys lobsters at a low price, which damages my family's reputation." Ye Qing still likes Xu Zelan very much. She is diligent and capable, but she is not very valued at home.
Xu Zelan hesitated for a while, but still said, "Just listen to my brother."
When Xu Da heard this, he smiled proudly at the brother and sister.
There were two people in the crowd who were not members of the Xu family. After listening for a while, they quietly left the crowd.
