The man's name is Chen Xiong. He lives in the town. Seeing that the Ye family did not set up a stall today, he came to Wenggang Village.

Ye Peng apologized, "I'm sorry, I had something to do at home these past two days, so I didn't go out to the stall. I think I'll have time to go out the day after tomorrow."

Chen Xiong asked: "Does anyone have any leftover braised meat at home?"

Ye Peng shook his head: "No, the weather is hot and cooked meat doesn't last long. I won't sell overnight meat. Customers should wait until my stall opens before buying!"

Chen Xiong couldn't buy the braised pork, and was disappointed. He shook his head and sighed as he left.

When he walked away, Ye Tang got off the carriage and asked Liu Ergui: "What did Chen Xiong ask you?"

Liu Ergui was frightened when he saw Ye Tang: "He asked me if your family is from Wenggang Village, how many people there are, and whether you have other businesses besides selling fresh meat, braised meat and meat patties, and when do you open and close the stall every day..."

Ye Tang smiled and asked, "Did you tell him everything?"

Liu Ergui nodded: "Yes, I said it all."

Ye Peng rolled up his sleeves and came over: "You are sick, you said everything."

Ye Pinganye said: "That man doesn't look like a guest at all. If you don't know him, you might think he is an official here to check the family's financial situation!"

Ye Tang stopped Ye Peng and Ye Ping'an and asked Liu Ergui in a calm tone: "What did you tell him? Tell me everything without missing a word."

Seeing her calmness, Liu Ergui felt a little scared for some reason: "I told him that there are only three people in your family, no grandparents, your father is a butcher, your brother is a gangster at the age of thirteen, and you are a second bride..."

Ye Tang asked again: "Did you also tell Chen Xiong about the Xiao clan's affairs?"

Liu Ergui nodded: "I told you everything I know, he was very polite..."

"You're so polite!" Ye Tang's face turned cold in an instant, and he scolded him: "You have a mouth, I don't care what you say, but what qualifications do you have to tell an outsider about my family's affairs, Liu Ergui, if I hear you talking about my family's affairs to outsiders again, I will tear your mouth apart, believe it or not."

Seeing that she was angry, Liu Ergui lowered his voice: "He said he was a guest of your house..."

"If he says he is a guest, then he is a guest. If I say you are a fool, then you are a fool? That man obviously came to check my family's background. You told him everything about my family. If he is a bad guy and sneaked into my house in the middle of the night to steal, will you be responsible?" Ye Tang said to Liu Ergui with a cold face: "You told him everything, which is equivalent to helping that person to harm my family. If something really happens to my family, you can't escape the blame. Liu Ergui, don't tell anyone anything in the future, especially about my family. Do you hear me?"

"I heard it." Liu Ergui shrank his neck: "I, I was wrong, you, don't be angry."

He was very afraid that Ye Tang would be angry.

Although Ye Tang has remarried, he still thinks about her in his heart. However, Ye Tang never looks at him straight in the eye, and it is rare for her to talk to him so much today.

Liu Ergui was both scared and happy.

"It's not just my family's business, you should also avoid telling outsiders about other people's business, otherwise they will not let you go if anything happens to that family." After Ye Tang left a warning, he returned to the ox cart.

Ye Peng and Ye Ping'an glared at Liu Ergui warningly and also got on the ox cart.

The ox cart continued to move towards the Ye family.

Liu Ergui looked at the back of the ox cart in fascination: "I wish I could have an ox cart like this one someday."

"Ye Tang doesn't like me telling others about her family's affairs, so I won't tell anyone about it in the future, even if you kill me."

When they arrived home, Ye Tang and the other two discovered that no one was home.

The door was closed and Jamel Xiao was nowhere to be seen.

Ye Tang searched the room thoroughly: "Didn't he say he would look after the house? Where is he?"

Ye Pingan was shocked: "Could it be that he was kidnapped by the people sent by Feng Tianbao?"

Ye Peng looked regretful: "I shouldn't have left him alone at home, he was so weak..."

Ye Tang looked around: "No, the house is tidy, there is no sign of fighting. From what I know about him, if someone really came to the house, he would never take the initiative to go with them. He would definitely resist to the end... Don't worry about him for now, go make dinner!"

She put her things down and went to the kitchen.

Ye Peng was still a little worried: "Really? What if something goes wrong?"

Ye Tang was not worried at all: "Nothing will happen to him."

"My brother-in-law is so handsome. If he is really captured, will he be sold to a brothel?" Ye Ping'an has a strange train of thought.

Ye Peng: "...Daughter, how is your son-in-law's waist?"

Ye Tang: "...very good."

Ye Peng's eyes lit up: "Then he will definitely become the most profitable courtesan. If you are too poor to eat in the future, you can let him sell himself."

Ye Tang: “…” This idea is a bit crazy.

Ye Tang didn't care about Xiao Jingxuan's life or death, but Ye Peng and Ye Ping'an were extremely anxious. While Ye Tang was cooking, they went to look for him in the village.

When I came back, Ye Tang had already prepared the meal and the aroma of the food was wafting in the air.

"Dinner is ready!" Ye Tang said loudly.

Ye Ping'an's stomach growled twice, and he immediately went forward to serve the dishes to the table. Just as he picked up one dish, a figure rushed in from outside and took away the second dish before he did.

"I came back just in time, just in time for dinner. Madam, the dish you cooked smells so delicious. What's its name?" Xiao Jingxuan's voice was very cheerful, his eyes fixed on the plate of food in his hands.

Ye Tang replied: "Sweet and sour pork tenderloin, the tenderloin I bought in the county town when I came back."

The meat sold in the county town is much more expensive than what her father sells.

"Brother-in-law, where have you been? Why did you come back at this time?" Ye Ping'an asked with concern.

Ye Peng also looked at Jamel Xiao: “We can’t find you anywhere.”

Jamel Xiao went to the kitchen to get the dishes and chopsticks: "When I was sleeping, I felt someone coming to our house. I thought that Feng Tianbao you mentioned was not a good person, and I was afraid that the person was sent by Feng Tianbao, so I climbed out the window and found a place to hide in the mountains!"

Ye Peng couldn't believe it: "You hid in the mountains for a day?"

Ye Pingan: "Did you encounter any wild animals?"

Jamel Xiao took a bowl of rice and said, "I didn't meet him. I was just very hungry and missed the food my wife cooked."

The cooking skills of the He family’s chef are not as good as his wife’s, and the signature dish is not tasty at all.

Ye Tang brought a stool over and said, "Dad, Ping'an, you guys sit down and eat first. My husband is not only smart, but his nose is sharper than a dog's. He can always find the smell of food and come home at mealtime."

Ye Pingan sat down: "The person my brother-in-law is talking about must be Chen Xiong."

"Who is Chen Xiong?"

"A customer who claimed to be here to buy braised meat but was asking around about our family's details." Ye Ping'an picked up his chopsticks angrily, "Brother-in-law was right to hide. Feng Tianbao sent people to keep an eye on our family. We were really worried that something might happen to you. Fortunately, you are fine."

Jamel Xiao was still frightened: "Really? Fortunately, I hid."

Ye Peng said: "It's right to hide. If you encounter danger and can't fight it, just hide."

After meal.

Ye Peng asked his daughter, son-in-law and son to go to bed early and get up early tomorrow to go to Qingquan Village to help Ye Tang deal with the matter of building a new house.

"Anyway, your brother and I won't be setting up the stall these two days, so we'll go over to your place to help." Ye Peng planned to let himself and Ye Ping'an rest for two days.

The next morning, before daybreak, Ye Peng got up early and woke up his son and son-in-law. Ye Tang also got up when he heard the noise outside.

Jamel Xiao looked sleepy, with messy hair. He suppressed his bad temper and washed his face and rinsed his mouth like a zombie. Under the command of his father-in-law, he weakly moved things onto the ox cart.

There was the rice and flour that Ye Tang bought yesterday, the pork pickled with salt by Ye Peng, and the vegetable seedlings.

The seedlings were pulled from the small vegetable garden dug by Ye Tang, which she had not used up since she got married.

There are pepper seedlings, eggplant seedlings, tomato seedlings...

Ye Tang made breakfast, simple wild vegetable and meat buns, which were very fragrant.

Xiao Jingxuan took a bite and was revived to full health.
