Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

Ye Changyan and his sister got up from the ground and headed towards the old house.

"Erniu, what happened?"

The brother and sister were running so hard that they were out of breath and couldn't run any longer, so they stopped by the roadside to rest.

"My mother and I had just returned home from the mountains when we heard someone crying and banging on our front door."

Erniu held her knees with her hands and gasped for breath. After she felt a little relieved, she continued.

"When Wu Lang opened the door, he saw his eldest sister rushing into the yard crying and shouting, saying that his second aunt and his second and fourth brothers had a fight with his eldest aunt and his eldest brother."

Erniu took a few deep breaths and then spoke again while panting.

"My eldest sister just kept crying and couldn't explain what was going on. Dad asked me to come out to find you. My parents and Wu Lang followed my eldest sister to the old house."

At first glance, why did Ye Changyan feel that it was a little strange?

My aunt-in-law has always been low-key and rarely gets embarrassed with others, let alone fights with others.

Although the second aunt loves to visit people everywhere and to pry into the gossip of everyone, she is a simple-minded person. How could she have a fight with the eldest aunt?

From what Erniu relayed, the eldest sister meant that the second aunt brought her two sons to fight with the eldest aunt and the eldest brother. In this situation of three against two, the eldest aunt and the eldest brother did not seem to have the upper hand.

Why did the eldest sister run straight to the village, crying and shouting to ask her family to come over? Did she call the elders in the village?

Ye Changyan was a little confused for a moment and couldn't find the clue of the matter. He could only take two deep breaths and run towards the old house with Erniu.

When the brother and sister arrived at the old house, the yard was already surrounded by people from the village.

In the original body’s memory, the last time it was so lively was when the old man of the Ye family celebrated his 60th birthday.

Ye Changyan was worrying about how to squeeze through the dense crowd when he heard a loud voice shouting.

"Sanlang is here!"

For a moment, the crowd turned around to look, and saw that it was indeed Ye Jia Sanlang who returned, and the crowd automatically made way for him.

Ye Changyan smiled, nodded to the crowd, and then went in with Erniu.

As soon as Ye Changyan squeezed in, he saw two aunts from the neighboring house pulling his eldest aunt whose face was bruised and swollen, and the daughters-in-law from the other two villages were pulling his second aunt whose hair was disheveled and her face was dirty.

The two aunts stared at each other fiercely, as if they were ready to fight again.

Dalang, Erlang and Silang were all held back by the young and strong men in the village. The uncle sat on the threshold of the front hall. The people from the third room and the eldest girl seemed to be comforting the old lady Guo, who was supported by her maid Ping'er in the front hall.

Ye Changyan glanced at the scene and did not seem to see his second uncle Ye Xiaowu.

Just as he was about to take a closer look at the situation at the scene, a few people nearby saw Ye Changyan coming into the yard and shouted at the same time.

"Sanlang is here!"

Hearing someone shouting in the crowd, aunt Xu was the first to look over here. Uncle Ye Xiaowen, who had been sitting there, also raised his head. Then, Dalang, Erlang, and Silang all looked in the direction of Ye Changyan.

And the people in the front hall, hearing the shouting, also looked towards the yard.

Ye Changyan suddenly felt uncomfortable as if he was the center of attention. Once upon a time, he was just a scholar in this family who was valued only by his grandfather. How many other people took him, Ye Changyan, seriously?

But now, his arrival has attracted the attention of everyone in the audience and the whole family. To be honest, such a change makes Ye Changyan feel a little uncomfortable.

"Sanlang! You have to judge for your aunt!"

When Aunt Xu saw Ye Changyan, she felt as if she had seen the blue sky and could not help crying out of grievance.

Seeing this, the second aunt-in-law standing by shouted at Ye Changyan.

"Sanlang, don't be fooled by this dirty little bitch!"

"You are wronging my mother!"

"Your mother is a thief!"

"You are the thieves!"

"You have no shame!"

"Sanlang, don't listen to their nonsense."

"Sanlang, don't be fooled by them!"

……

Dalang, Erlang and Silang, who were held back at the same time, started quarreling with each other across the air.

"Okay, okay, everyone calm down. You guys won't solve the problem by yelling at each other like this."

As he spoke, Ye Changyan pressed his palm towards everyone, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

"My dear aunts, it's not nice for me, a younger generation, to stand here and judge the two elders."

Ye Changyan seemed to be hesitant to speak, but when he saw that everyone was staring at him, he continued.

"I was busy in the fields when I saw Erniu running to me in a hurry, saying that there was a fight at the ancestral home and asked me to come back quickly to mediate."

Ye Changyan looked at his eldest aunt-in-law and then at his second aunt-in-law.

"In my opinion, both of you aunts have watched me grow up. As a nephew, I know your personalities very well. They are both easy to get along with and kind."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ye Changyan gritted his teeth and continued speaking.

"I think there might be some misunderstanding. Big sister, second girl, come here and help the two aunts go back to their rooms to rest. Once everyone has calmed down, things will naturally be easier to talk about."

As he said this, he glanced at Da Niu and Er Niu, and saw the two of them running out from the front hall.

The two aunts actually let the two girls help them back to their room.

"It's getting late, it's time to prepare dinner, everyone please go away and come back another day for tea and snacks."

The onlookers saw that Ye Changyan calmed the matter down with just a few words, and that the two protagonists of the fight, Xu and Liu, were helped away. They felt that there was nothing to watch anymore and gradually dispersed.

Those who wanted to stay and see the outcome felt embarrassed to stay after hearing Ye Changyan's words to send them away, and soon the crowd that had originally surrounded the Ye family's old house dispersed.

Among the crowd, there were some shrewd people who saw the real thing and secretly admired that the third son of the Ye family was worthy of being able to pass the imperial examination.

The two sisters-in-law of the Ye family fought so fiercely that the more people watched, the harder they fought.

Dalang, Erlang and Silang not only did not pull their own mothers apart, but they also stepped forward to help the fight, making it impossible for the neighbors who came to persuade them to stop fighting to stop.

Ye Xiaowen, the eldest of the Ye family, did not know how to intervene and could only sigh on the side. Seeing the two families fighting so fiercely, the old lady had no time to hold on for a while and was anxious, almost fainting from anger several times.

Fortunately, the eldest girl ran to the farm in time to call the people from the third room. If the people from the third room had not comforted the old lady, the old lady might have had to go to see the old man.

As soon as the third son of the Ye family came back, he calmed down the emotional people from the two families with just a few words, and politely sent away the onlookers.

The fight between the two sisters-in-law was a scandal for the family, regardless of who was right. When the third son of the Ye family arrived, he quickly took control of the situation and tried his best to avoid more family scandals being exposed to everyone.

Ye Changyan's style of doing things began to be praised by the shrewd villagers in the village.

After the crowd dispersed, Ye Changyan looked tired and sullen. He cast a stern look at Dalang, Erlang and Silang who were still eyeing him in the yard.

"Do you want to fight again? As if it's not embarrassing enough!"

As soon as Ye Changyan said this, the three cousins with bruised faces and noses were shocked, as if Ye Changyan was the eldest brother.

For a moment, the three of them lowered their heads and walked into the house in dejection.
