I have been farming since I crossed over.

The room was completely silent. Old Lady Yang stood up and asked, "Did you spread the news about what you did? Who spread it?"

Old Man Yang also stood up and asked, "Who spread the news? What did they say? Can we see if there is any way to remedy it?"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one said a word.

Tang stood there trembling, not daring to speak.

Yang Minghe looked at his wife. Seeing her expression, he knew it was her. "Tang, what did you do? Who did you talk to and what did you say? Tell me now. Let's see if there's any way to remedy the situation."

Tang was trembling and didn't dare to speak. Now that her husband called her name, she was even more afraid to speak.

Second Aunt Liu said, "Tang, tell me? You silly girl, what nonsense did you say? Don't you know this is a secret recipe?"

Tang cried and said, "The other day I went to the He family's house and chatted with his daughter-in-law. We talked about fried potatoes. I simply told them the seasonings, but nothing else."

Old Lady Yang said, "Ah He, send her back to your house and discipline her if necessary."

Yang Minghe had a gloomy face and pulled Tang back into the house.

In the main room of the Yang family, Old Lady Yang looked at the people below and continued, "If anyone else tells me now, I can still give you a lighter punishment. If I find out, I'll expel everyone from the clan."

Aunt Zhang's face turned pale with fright, and she held Yang Laoqi tightly with both hands. Yang Laoqi looked at his wife's expression and was afraid that something had happened to her too.

She was the one who had been interfering with the matter of the chicks and ducklings at home today, saying that her mother said that raising chickens and ducks was not cost-effective and that it would be better to set up a stall, where the wages were higher and the work was easier. Without her consent, she asked Xier to return the chicks and ducklings.

Hey, how did her parents know about raising chickens and ducklings? Xier just mentioned it yesterday, and she went to the stall today. How did this happen...

After Yang Laoqi figured it out, he pulled Zhang aside and asked, "Who did you meet today? What did you do?"

Zhang was so frightened that she was shaking and dared not say anything.

Yang Mingjiang said, "Aunt Qi met her family today and ate some fried potatoes at our stall. She said the food wasn't spicy enough, so she scooped some for them to dip in."

Old Lady Yang asked, "Did you take Xier's chili powder away to your family? That would be selling the chili powder recipe."

Zhang didn't want to admit it, but since everyone had seen it, she had no choice but to admit it, so she nodded.

"Bang!" Old man Yang threw the tea bowl in his hand directly towards Zhang. It hit Zhang's head hard and blood gushed out instantly.

"Seventh Brother, send it back to Zhang tomorrow! My Yang family can't afford such a daughter-in-law." said old man Yang.

Zhang was so frightened that she fell to the ground, holding her head and crying. Yang Laoqi dragged Zhang to the seventh room.

No one in the main room dared to say a word. They all looked at Old Man Yang and Old Lady Yang who were sitting in the main seats, waiting for them to speak.

Old Lady Yang took a deep breath and said, "Everything you do now is a secret of the Yang family. You cannot tell anyone, including your parents, brothers and sisters. This is the foundation of our Yang family."

"Also, your father and I are going to move out and live on our own. Boss, give us a portion of the vegetable garden next to the barn. Cultivate three acres of wasteland next to the garden, and give us the three acres of land below it after you harvest the rice this season. We'll live on our own, build three new houses, and move out."

"No, Mom, I'm the eldest. You have to live with me and I will support you." Boss Yang said quickly.

"No need to say more, I have made up my mind. Just like your mother said, we will build the house ourselves, and you just need to give us some pension money every year." Old Man Yang said.

The sons wanted to say something, but finally Old Man Yang shook his hand and said, "Remember, only when Xier is well will you all be well, so put Xier first in everything. Go back and think about it!"

Everyone stood there, no one moved. Everyone wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything.

Old Man Yang looked at the hesitant crowd and said earnestly, "As long as one person in a family can stand up, the family has hope. However, only when everyone stands up and becomes strong, the family will be strong."

Old Man Yang paused and said, "For all these years, our Yang family hasn't had anyone who stands out. Now Xier has stood up and hasn't given up on you. She's willing to support you. Only when each of you becomes stronger can our family become stronger, and only then can we help and support each other, and Xier can go further."

Old Man Yang looked at everyone and changed the subject, "But if Xi'er gives up on you, then she can fly higher and farther, there's no doubt about it. Go back!"

Yang Mingjiang said: "As long as we become strong, the Yang family will rise. What happened today is nothing. We will continue tomorrow. We should continue to do what we should do. Tomorrow must be better than today." After saying that, he walked out first.

Yang Minghe said: "Be strong and self-reliant. Only when you are strong can you live forever!"

After everyone dispersed, each family started talking again.

In the main room of the Yang family, Yang Mingjiang asked everyone to sit down and said, "When we were about to close the stall today, a few thugs came out to pick a fight. At first, we didn't pay any attention to them. Later, they came up and smashed the stall. They were stopped by Lu Da. We were all scared and trembling."

Yang Mingjiang paused, then said, "But, I told Xier about this matter, and she only replied, 'Just deal with it.'"

Yang Mingjiang looked at his parents, then at his wife, and continued, "What does this mean? First, they have connections and can easily resolve this matter. Second, it means this is a trivial matter. They have already thought of it and have made backup plans. With regard to these two points, who among us here can do it? Most importantly, she actually said that I am the eldest son and grandson, and more important than his eldest brother, Ah Hu."

Li continued, "Did she really say that? She wasn't just trying to fool you, was she?"

Yang Mingjiang said, "I don't think so. Xier has always assigned me the most important position in these past few assignments. She really has a crush on me."

Yang Mingyong said, "I think Xier is trying to train people. It's only been one day at the temple fair, but she already knows how to use people. Look at the stalls in the back. There are indeed few people, but they are selling a lot of food. I find this aspect very impressive of her."

Li said, "That's true. Look at what the temple fair assigned me to do. I'm not bad at it, but I'm definitely not as good as the sixth wife. But the tofu I make is better than anyone else's, so they assigned me to make tofu."

Yang Laodao said, "I think what Dad said is right. We will definitely not go wrong if we just follow Xier. And you guys, from now on, please be more proactive in Xier's affairs and learn more from Old Six's wife. As for me, I will focus on the farm work and leave the livestock to the Lei family."

Lei said, "Yes, Dad, I am narrow-minded. From now on, I will listen carefully to everything you say, and everything Mingjiang says. I will do my best to be my eldest grandson's wife. Only when Xier is well can we all be well."

Yang Mingjiang glanced at his wife. Lei had interfered with his mother's decision on the chicken and duck raising matter, but it was not so bad. After thinking for a while, he said, "Yes, you just need to do your job as the eldest grandson's wife. Take good care of your son, unite your brothers and sisters-in-law, and be filial to your parents and grandparents. If I am well, you will definitely be well too. Don't think of any little tricks."

Lei promised: "Okay, I will pay more attention in the future and work hard to be the eldest grandson's wife."

The scene in the second branch of the Yang family was quite different.

The three brothers Yang Mingtao, Yang Mingbo and Yang Mingchi sat under the table, while Yang Laoer and Liu sat next to the table. No one spoke.

In Yang Minghe's room, Tang had been crying for a long time. Yang Minghe did not do anything but said a lot of reasons. Tang agreed to everything, but it was unclear whether she really listened or was just trying to get by.

Yang Minghe called Tang out and sat down together, then said, "What Grandpa said today is what I want to say as well. The four of us brothers must support Xier well. Only when Xier is well can we all be well. However, everyone should also exercise more, improve themselves, and become useful people."

After he finished speaking, he paused and said, "Mom, go wash the dishes and clean up. This is a simple request, and you are quick and efficient, which is a good thing for you. Don't think too much about it. You really can't do other things as well as others."

Liu nodded. After doing it for two days, she felt that she had become more proficient at it. It was a piece of cake and very easy.

"A Tao and A Po, cooperate with Xi'er. Daddy, you take care of the fields, and Tang Shi, take care of the livestock. As for the threading, just do your best. Don't make any more mistakes. Always remember that this is your family business and you can't let anyone else know."

The second room discussed things in a relatively harmonious manner, while the third room only had the third aunt say: "Be yourself, don't think too much, and there will be no problem."

The fourth room did not discuss anything, but just said one thing: Yang Minghe would be the boss of the fourth room from now on, Yang Laosi would be responsible for the fields and taking care of the livestock, and the fourth aunt would be responsible for doing the work well.

The fifth room was also very quiet. Everyone blamed themselves. Finally, Wu said, "From now on, we just need to be more proactive and think more about Xier. That's all."

The couple from the sixth room blamed themselves for a while, then turned their grief and anger into strength and started working again, determined to support Xier with practical actions.

Yang Laoqi from the Seventh House simply said, "Zhang, you can go back! Wait and see what happens. If the situation isn't serious, I'll say something nice and come pick you up."

The Yang family will wake up starting tonight.
