I have been farming since I crossed over.

Yang Mingjiang was stunned for a moment. Why did Xier have this attitude when he told her about this matter?

Yang Mingxi looked at the dazed Yang Mingjiang and shook her head. "He's too weak! This is the eldest grandson of a family! If he were in a big family, he'd probably be cannon fodder." Never mind, his personality is okay after meeting him, but he lacks training. He needs some guidance!

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "What's wrong, cousin Jiang? Any questions?"

Yang Mingjiang blushed and said, "It's nothing. I understand. What should I do next?"

"Okay, that's all I need to know. Come to me if you have any questions. But, this is just the beginning. Are you scared? You've been training with me for a long time. It's a bit embarrassing to have to rely on Lu Da to deal with a few little guys."

Yang Mingjiang blushed even more and said, "Yes, it was the first time I encountered it, and I panicked. I won't do it again. I'm sorry to embarrass you."

"There is nothing to be ashamed of for me, and it's not my face that should be lost. You are the eldest son and grandson, and you know best what kind of responsibilities you should bear. If it were my eldest brother, I might comfort him, but not you. The responsibility you have to bear is heavier than my eldest brother's." Yang Mingxi looked at Yang Mingjiang and said seriously.

Yang Mingjiang's eyes were filled with tears, and he choked up and said, "Xi'er, thank you for thinking so highly of me. I know what to do now. I'll go back first. I will do better tomorrow."

Yang Mingxi looked at Yang Mingjiang's slightly deflated back. After a moment's thought, she hardened her heart and refused to comfort him. Unbeknownst to Yang Mingxi, this incident had given Yang Mingjiang an added sense of responsibility for the Yang family, playing a crucial role in its subsequent rise. Furthermore, this scene was witnessed by Old Man Yang and his wife, Yang Minghe, Yang Minghu, Yang Minghai, and Uncle Six and Aunt Six, and a conversation ensued within each family.

Yang Minghu looked at Yang Mingxi scolding Yang Mingjiang seriously, feeling mixed emotions. These things should have been borne by him and his brothers, but now they were taken up by Yang Mingxi. It was because of his weakness that Xier, a girl, had to bear this responsibility.

Yang Mingxi looked at the Yang family yard. It was bustling with people working yesterday. I wonder where they are now? Will there be no stall tomorrow? Yang Mingxi rubbed her head. She was really tired!

In the main room of the Yang family, Old Man Yang said to Old Lady Yang, "Old lady, have we been too relaxed about them recently? Anyone can come up and question Xi Ya'er. I'm afraid they have forgotten what I said when Xi Ya'er first came back."

Old Lady Yang said, "Everyone has been so busy lately that no one has called me over to set up any rules. I'm afraid some people really treat me like air."

Old man Yang said, "That's right, ask Xier about her schedule and come over to sit with us tonight!" After that, he walked out with his hands behind his back.

In the yard, Yang Mingxi was still dealing with the number of chickens and ducks for today. Suddenly, she saw Old Man Yang coming over and quickly stood up and said, "Grandpa, you're here. Sit here."

Old Man Yang slowly sat down and looked at Yang Mingxi and said, "Xiao girl, are you still busy? Are you done? Is there anything Grandpa can help with?"

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "It's almost done. Just gather it together and it will be fine. Grandpa, just take care of yourself. It's just a small matter. Why do you need Grandpa's help?"

Old Man Yang thought for a moment and said, "Xiao girl, look at me and your grandmother. We are still very strong. We want to live on our own, plant some fields and a vegetable garden, and do what we want to do."

Yang Mingxi was about to agree when she suddenly remembered her current living environment and paused. Actually, elderly people have more freedom living alone, but in today's society, they are expected to live with their sons, which means they have to worry about many things. It's tiring for both the elderly and their children.

Old Man Yang looked at Yang Mingxi's expression and knew that some things were not suitable for Yang Mingxi to talk about. He was about to change the subject when he heard Yang Mingxi say, "Grandpa, why do you want to live alone? Do you have any plans?"

Old Man Yang smiled and said, "At this age, what plans do you have? I have to let my sons and grandsons fight. No matter how capable I am, I am still an old man and can't do much. But young people are different. There are endless possibilities, right?"

"Grandpa isn't old at all, he's still very young. People always say, 'A tiger father will have a dog son,' so Grandpa still has ideas, and we can all help."

Old Man Yang laughed and said, "Really? Grandpa isn't old yet. You haven't grown up yet?"

Yang Mingxi looked at Old Man Yang and felt that he seemed to have suddenly become several years younger. She smiled and said, "Then, Grandpa, tell me what you think? Maybe we have the same idea?"

Old Man Yang said, "I've made up my mind. Your grandma and I will live alone. We can still do things, and we should do what we can. We can talk about this later. Xier, we want to raise some chicks and ducklings, what do you think?"

Yang Mingxi looked at Old Man Yang and said seriously, "Grandpa, first of all, from my point of view, I hope that you and Grandma can live alone, because you have your own living habits and eating habits. When you live alone, you don't need to consider other people's feelings, just live your own life well. Secondly, when you live alone, you don't need to worry about the lives of the children, you can live more comfortably. Also, if you want to visit someone or give someone something, just make the decision yourself, don't worry about anything else. And the most important point is that humans are social animals, but distance creates beauty. Being apart for a while actually makes everyone feel better."

After hearing this, Old Man Yang laughed out loud and said, "Okay, Xier is still good at talking. I'm happy to hear that. Go over to your uncle early tonight and tell him that we want to build a few separate houses. See if they have time."

Yang Mingxi looked at Old Man Yang, who was obviously trying to find an excuse to get her out of the way. She felt that Grandpa was really kind and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll tell my uncle that even if he doesn't have time, he has to make time. Grandpa and grandma's affairs are the most important."

Old Man Yang laughed again, then waved his hand and said, "I won't keep you any longer. Hurry up and get busy. Just remember what Grandpa told you to do. Go over there as soon as possible!"

Yang Mingxi nodded, finished her work, and went back to the fifth room to prepare for dinner. Lu Jintang was not coming to dinner today, so after dinner, Yang Mingxi used the excuse of having something to do with Uncle Wu and went to the new house early.

Old Man Yang watched Yang Mingxi leave the courtyard and shouted towards the back room, "Ah Jiang, come here. Grandpa wants to talk to you."

Yang Mingjiang trotted over and asked, "Grandpa, what's going on?"

"Go and notify each room to come and sit with me and me." Old man Yang said expressionlessly.

"Yes, Grandpa." Yang Mingjiang replied quickly, then trotted off to notify the people in other rooms.

After a while, everyone arrived. As usual, they came in, said hello, and then found a stool to sit down.

Old Man Yang spoke first: "How dare you sit here? You're so proud of yourself, aren't you? You've only had a few days of good food, and you're already so proud of yourself, aren't you?"

After hearing this, everyone stood up all at once, and those who stood up slowly even knocked over some stools.

Zhang whispered to Yang Laoqi, "Is your father really fierce?"

Yang Laoqi was so frightened that he quickly tried to cover Zhang's mouth, but before he could, he heard his father say, "Get out if you don't listen. We don't need people with opinions here. If you have the ability, get out of the Yang family."

After Old Man Yang finished speaking, he was silent for a long time. Old Lady Yang took over the topic and said, "Everyone knows what our family was like before, right? How did it become what it is now? You all know, right? You don't think that you are able to live a good life because of your own ability, right?"

No one said a word. We looked at each other and then lowered our heads.

Old Lady Yang continued, "You've forgotten the days when we didn't have enough to eat, couldn't eat meat all year round, and couldn't find a wife, right? You've also forgotten what I said the first day Xi Yatou came back, right? Xi Yatou is a capable person, and she cares about you, so she wanted to help you and bring you along to make money. And what's the result? How did you repay her? It's like she was begging you to do things for her?"

Old Lady Yang took a sip of water, glanced at everyone, and continued, "Don't you know what you're capable of? People go out to work for a day and get paid how much money they get, and how much work they have to do. What about you? You complain about this and that while you're working, but when you get paid, I don't see anyone complaining about the money being too much."

Old Lady Yang paused and said, "As for what Xi Ya taught you to do, you wouldn't be able to figure it out even if you had ten brains. I'm saying this again, whoever spreads what Xi Ya taught you will get out of the Yang family."

Yang Mingxi, eavesdropping from under the window of Old Man and Mrs. Yang's room, burst into tears. She had thought Old Man and Mrs. Yang would talk about living alone, but she had been listening in, afraid Uncle Yang wouldn't agree, so she could speak up for Grandpa and Grandpa. She had never expected to hear this, and not for the first time. How lucky she was to have such a kind Grandpa and Grandpa.
