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

Seeing that the crowd had dispersed and several cousins had entered the house, Ye Changyan closed the courtyard door and walked towards the front hall.

Old Madam Guo, seeing the crowd dispersed and her two quarreling daughters-in-law returned to their rooms, felt relieved and slumped down in a chair.

For the first time in her life, the old lady felt that things were out of control. She saw her two daughters-in-law fighting each other, which attracted a large number of villagers to watch. She felt so helpless when she could only anxiously shout for them to stop but to no avail.

Sanlang, whom she had never thought highly of in the past, was able to control the situation with just a few words. This made the old lady feel extremely disappointed. She was extremely conflicted at the moment. She did not want to see the first and second wives fighting each other, and hoped that the situation would be settled quickly. However, she did not want to see that the person who settled the matter was Sanlang, whom she did not like.

Seeing Ye Changyan walking towards the front hall, Ye Xiaowen also stood up from the threshold dejectedly, walked into the front hall, and slumped in another chair.

Ye Changyan walked into the front hall and saw several cousins squatting in the corner, dejectedly, like defeated roosters.

"Aunt Chun, it's getting late. You should go and cook first."

Ye Changyan saw Aunt Chun, the Ye family's cook, standing at the side door, looking a little confused, and gave instructions.

"It's getting late, Wulang, you should help dad back first!"

Seeing his brother winking at him, Wu Lang was about to step forward to support Ye Xiaozheng, but Ye Xiaozheng looked around and felt very worried, and finally his eyes stopped on the old lady Guo.

"Mom, you can also help support Dad. Go back and cook the meal first. Erniu and I will be back soon."

Seeing that Ye Xiaozheng was getting angry again, Ye Changyan gave Lian a look, and Ye Xiaozheng was then supported by his wife and children and walked out, looking back from time to time.

For a moment, the entire front hall fell into silence. Ye Changyan then looked at everyone and started asking.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, tell me, what happened today?"

Ye Changshu, the eldest son of the Ye family, and Ye Changqi, the second son of the Ye family, looked up at each other, snorted, and turned their faces away when Ye Changyan called them.

"Brother, you speak first."

Seeing that neither of them was willing to speak first, Ye Changyan looked at Ye Changshu, who had a bruised face and nose, and called out Ye Changshu's name first.

In the original body's memory, Ye Changshu, as the eldest grandson of the eldest house, was very much loved by the old lady and was a relatively introverted person. Ye Changyan could not understand why such an introverted person would fight with others.

"Sigh~"

Just as Dalang was about to speak, the crack at the corner of his mouth was touched, which made him gasp. After a long time, Dalang finally got used to it and spoke.

"Today, my father invited Uncle Feng and his family from the county to visit us. Uncle Feng and Auntie came with the eldest lady of the Feng family and the third son of the Feng family to visit us early in the morning."

When Ye Changyan heard this beginning, he searched through his original body's memories and did not find anyone named Uncle Feng. However, from the way things looked, he intuitively felt that this seemed like someone coming to meet someone for a blind date.

Sure enough, Dalang's next words confirmed Ye Changyan's intuition.

"Actually, today Uncle Feng and his family came to visit me on the pretext of being guests. Last month, I met the eldest lady of the Feng family at the Yue Lao Temple, arranged by Matchmaker Zhang."

As he spoke, Dalang's scarred face began to turn red, and his ears turned even redder.

"Everything went smoothly at the reception today. Everyone seemed very satisfied. During lunch, Second Aunt came back. When she saw the eldest lady of the Feng family, she praised her for her beauty."

I saw Dalang glaring at Erlang and Silang not far away with some anger.

"After lunch, Uncle Feng and his family said goodbye, and my mother hurriedly gave the golden hairpin she had prepared in advance to the eldest lady of the Feng family. The eldest lady liked it very much and put the golden hairpin on her head. But at this moment, Second Aunt seemed to be crazy and rushed to hit the eldest lady of the Feng family. The eldest lady of the Feng family was thrown to the ground by Second Aunt without any psychological preparation, and the golden hairpin on her head was also pulled out by Second Aunt."

As he spoke, Dalang actually shed sad tears and almost burst into tears.

"While fighting, Second Aunt actually scratched the face of the eldest lady of the Feng family!"

Ye Changyan was shocked. The girl who came to meet the man had her face scratched in his home. How could this be tolerated?

"Uncle Feng was very angry, and in a rage he grabbed Second Aunt and was about to report to the police. Seeing Second Aunt being caught, Erlang and Silang rushed over without a care. Fortunately, Aunt Feng said that the most urgent thing was to return to the county and find a doctor to treat the eldest lady's injuries, and other matters could be dealt with later. Uncle Feng and his family then hurriedly took the eldest lady back to the county."

Dalang was crying loudly, and it seemed that he really fell in love with the eldest lady of the Feng family.

"When my father saw Uncle Feng and his family leave, he quickly chased them out to apologize, hoping to make amends. My mother went to find Second Aunt to argue, but Second Aunt started to curse, saying that my mother was dirty and had stolen her things. My mother was already furious, and after hearing Second Aunt's dirty words, she started to fight with her."

I only heard Dalang sobbing twice, and then saw him raising his hand to wipe away his tears and snot.

"When I saw my mother and Second Aunt fighting, I rushed over to try to separate them. Unexpectedly, Second and Fourth Lang also went crazy and rushed towards me, punching and kicking me..."

"You're talking nonsense. We all saw it. You went over to help. I saw you pulling my mother's hair with my own eyes!"

Before Dalang could finish his words, Silang, whose face turned red with anger, started shouting.

"Okay, second brother, tell me what's going on."

Ye Changyan spoke up to stop the excited Silang, then looked at the old lady and uncle who were slumped in the chairs. Seeing that they did not react much, it seemed that there was basically no problem with what Dalang said before, so he turned to Erlang and asked.

"When my aunt gave the hairpin to the eldest lady of the Feng family, my mother was also present. When my mother saw the hairpin, she felt something was wrong because my mother had an identical hairpin."

Although Erlang also had bruises on his face, they were far less serious than Dalang's. Erlang was seen gesturing as he spoke.

"My mother's gold hairpin is a relic left by my grandmother. My grandfather had a master craftsman at Shengjing Yuxianglou to make this hairpin for my grandmother as a token of love. There is only one in the world, and my mother usually doesn't want to wear it."

Erlang was so excited that he even choked up.

"At that time, my mother couldn't believe her eyes. Then she ran back to her room and found that not only was her gold hairpin missing from her jewelry box, but also a piece of mutton-fat jade ring and a string of agate beads. My mother panicked and went forward to take back her gold hairpin."

"You're talking nonsense! That hairpin was clearly bought by my mother and my eldest daughter in the county town at the end of last month."

When Dalang heard that Erlang had wrongly accused his mother, not only accusing her of taking Second Aunt's gold hairpin but also trying to frame her with a jade ring and a string of agate, he was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.
