After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

"Grandpa Sun gave it to me. There was not much work to do at home, so I went to help grind the beans."

"Have some grilled tofu for lunch. We haven't had it for a few days." Ye Qing looked at Zhou.

Zhou nodded in agreement and quickened her pace as it was almost time to cook.

"Brother, where did you scratch your clothes? This position is a bit high and it is usually not reachable." Ye Qing was a little puzzled.

Ye Dalang's expression was a little strange. He opened his mouth several times but nothing came out.

Ye Qing became even more interested. There must be another hidden story behind this.

"Brother, tell me what's going on. Let me take care of it for you."

Zhou also reacted, "Da Lang, what happened to you? Tell me quickly."

Ye Dalang seemed to have made up his mind before he spoke, "It was Xu Zelan. She came to me secretly and said that she was forced to do it and hoped that I could forgive her."

Ye Qing lost his composure and stood up from his chair in anger. "Brother, you won't forgive her, will you? I don't think she is a good person."

Zhou also put down the clothes in her hand and said, "Da Lang, you must not be confused. The engagement has been cancelled, so you should not meet her alone. It will be bad for the reputation of the girl."

"Mom, Qingya, am I that kind of person? I didn't even have time to hide from her. This dress was scratched when I was hiding from her." Ye Dalang was a little angry that his family didn't believe him.

"Da Lang, it's not that I don't believe you, but if someone else sees it, I'm worried that her family will blame you."

Ye Qing also added, "I heard that his family was the only one in the entire Ji Village that hadn't built a house. Xu Da and his friends were too lazy to help build the house. Xu Feng did go, but he broke his waist after only a few days of work."

Zhou became even more nervous. "Da Lang, don't go out alone recently. Go to work with your father. His family may become desperate and may even come to rely on us."

Ye Qing nodded as he listened, "Brother, I'm fine recently. I'll accompany you."

Ye Dalang thought Xu Zelan came here simply to apologize, but he didn't expect there was something else going on. "Qingya, there's not much work to do in the fields these days, so I'm staying at home and not going out."

"It's not a good idea for Mom to hide. If she falls on top of my brother in front of everyone, he won't be able to explain himself."

"Qingya, what do you think we should do? You have a lot of ideas, help your brother think of a solution." Zhou didn't want to say it carelessly. Doing so would damage the girl's reputation, which would be no different from forcing her to death.

Ye Dalang also looked at his sister with hope. He was a grown man, but he stayed at home all day, which made people laugh.

"Let Aunt Hua go and give Xu Zelan a hint. If she's smart, she won't come again. If she still refuses to change her ways, then we don't have to worry about her reputation."

Ye Qing still sympathized with Xu Zelan. As they were both girls, he didn't want her to have a bad ending.

Zhou thought it was a good idea, so she stopped sewing clothes and rushed to Aunt Hua's house.

"Qingya, where is your mother? It's almost time to cook, and she's still out." Li came back from the vegetable garden and only saw the back of her daughter-in-law.

"My mother has gone to look for Aunt Hua and will be back soon."

"It's almost time for dinner. It's not appropriate to go there. It won't be too late to go after dinner." Li disagreed.

Seeing his brother going to the backyard to feed the chickens, Ye Qing leaned over to Li's ear and whispered the situation to her.

Li was a little angry and blamed Xu Feng's family for being troublesome.

"Qingya, this matter must be resolved immediately. It cannot be delayed. Otherwise, something bad will happen." Li is old and has experienced a lot and seen a lot.

"My mother thinks the same thing. It's not like my brother did anything wrong, and he is forced to hide at home."

"Your mother knows what's going on. I'm not worried about this." Li had seen her daughter-in-law's methods.

"Grandma, I'll go make the porridge first. My mom will be here soon and we can cook some vegetables and eat."

Li followed him into the kitchen, grabbed a handful of dried beans, soaked them in water, and stewed them for a while.

The meal was almost ready when Zhou came back, looking in a good mood.

"What are you so happy about, mother?"

"Your Aunt Hua promised to go this afternoon and will definitely resolve this matter. Your Aunt Hua is a very reliable person."

Zhou took the spatula from Ye Qing, put a small spoonful of oil in the pot, put the beans in the wok, and then added vermicelli to stew together.

"Qingya, remind your father next time to bring back some vermicelli from the city. We are running out of them at home." Zhou said as she put the remaining vermicelli back into the bag.

"Tell Dad to buy less. When the sweet potatoes are harvested, we can make some ourselves."

"Qingya, I don't know how to make vermicelli with sweet potatoes."

"Just try it more, maybe it will work." Ye Qing had only seen others do it, so he didn't dare to say too much.

Zhou stopped talking about this topic and started cooking quickly.

When the last dish was out of the pot, Old Man Ye and Boss Ye came in.

"Dad, have you got the land deed back? Let's turn it over a little while the weather is still not too cold." Zhou was very concerned about the family's fields.

"I got it back. All the land deeds in the village have been brought back." After washing his hands, Boss Ye sat at the table, waiting for Old Man Ye to start eating first.

Old Man Ye took a bite of the dish first, and then the others started to pick up their chopsticks.

"Qingya, I've sold the rabbit for you. I'll give you the money later." Boss Ye went out early in the morning and left before Ye Qing got up.

"Okay, Dad. Mom and I will split up later."

"Today, I asked Doctor Lin about his family's situation. The caravan learned that they left in another direction. They are all fine, but no one knows where they went."

"Boss, this is a good thing. As long as the person is fine, everything can be discussed. Have you told Doctor Lin? Don't make Doctor Lin anxious." Li was grateful to Doctor Lin for saving her husband and cared about the Lin family very much.

"After talking to him, Doctor Lin wiped away his tears with joy. He insisted on going to listen to it again himself, so I sent him there again." Boss Ye felt very sad when he thought of that scene.

"We can rest assured that Doctor Lin will come back next year to build a house. When our son and daughter-in-law come back, we can move in directly." Li sighed.

The family was having a lively meal, completely unaware of what happened when Aunt Hua went to Ji Village.

Squeak

"Who is it? There's someone at home, come in." Ye Qing heard the door open and walked out.

"Qingya is at home, where is your mother? I have something to talk to your mother about." Aunt Hua's face was gloomy.

"In the vegetable garden. I'll go call him. Aunt Hua, please sit down first." Seeing that Aunt Hua looked unhappy, Ye Qing put the stool away and walked towards the back door.

After hearing what Ye Qing said, Zhou's heart skipped a beat. She picked up the vegetables and walked quickly to the front yard.

Ye Qing picked up the bucket that Zhou had forgotten and followed behind him to the front yard.

When Zhou arrived at the front yard, she saw Li chatting with Aunt Hua, and both of them looked unhappy.

"Aunt Hua, you're here. Qingya, go get some water." Zhou put down the food in her hand and sat over.

Ye Qing was very curious about why Aunt Hua came here, and whether it was about his brother's matter, so he couldn't help but speed up to pour the water.
