The Two Heroes of the Ye Family

Ye Xiaoyang accompanied his parents walking on the old streets of Suzhou City. They had visited the Humble Administrator's Garden and the Lingering Garden in the past few days.

They visited Hanshan Temple, saw Tiger Hill Pagoda, climbed Lingyan Mountain, and walked along Shantang Street.

Mother Ye suddenly sighed:

"Gusu City is still Gusu City, but it's not as prosperous and lively as before, alas!"

Ye Yuxuan nodded and said:

"Yes! This time when I came back, I felt that Gusu City gave me a sense of unfamiliarity. This is where I have lived for most of my life."

Ye Xiaoyang had no choice but to comfort:

"Mom and Dad, the war in China will be over in a few years, and we will come back to take a look then.

Things will be very different then.

Ultimately, it’s the long-term wars that have prevented ordinary people from living and working in peace.”

Mother Ye turned and looked at Ye Xiaoyang.

"San'er, let's go back!"

"Ok."

An hour later, Ye Xiaoyang and the others returned to the Ye family.

They didn't expect that there were two guests waiting for them at home.

Ye Yuxuan walked quickly to the living room and recognized the identities of the two guests at once.

He quickly stepped forward and greeted:

"Huang's brother-in-law, when did you come here?"

Only then did Ye Xiaoyang realize that the old couple in front of him were his second brother's father-in-law and mother-in-law, the head and wife of the Huang family.

"Hello, Uncle Huang, Aunt Huang!"

Huang's father:

"Yuxuan, are Yanran and her two children still in the United States? Why didn't they come back to visit their relatives this time?"

Ye Yuxuan looked embarrassed, not knowing how to answer this question.

Seeing his father in trouble, Ye Xiaoyang quickly said:

"Uncle Huang, Aunt Huang, our whole family moved to Hong Kong to settle down. Sister Yanran returned to China alone a few years ago."

"Yanran has returned to China?"

"Yes, we couldn't contact her after we came back, and we couldn't contact my second brother either."

Huang's mother looked frustrated and quickly looked at Huang's father.

"How could this be?"

Ye Xiaoyang deliberately changed the subject.

"Uncle and aunt, when did you two leave Wu City and return to Gusu City?"

Father Huang quickly replied:

"Half a year ago, selling all the properties in Wucheng was only enough to raise the boat fare back to Gusu City."

Ye Xiaoyang nodded and continued to ask:

"Uncle, aunt, sister Yanran and second brother can't be with you to take care of you.

If you two elders have any difficulties, just tell us directly. Our two families are in-laws."

Huang's mother glanced at Huang's father. The purpose of their visit today was to find a way to get some money from the Ye family.

Coincidentally, Huang's father also looked over.

After a while, Huang's mother slowly said:

"Xiaoyang, we old couple returned to Gusu City with almost no money left.

Now, apart from the old house, there is really nothing valuable to sell in the family."

"Aunt, we didn't bring any silver dollars this time, only some U.S. dollars. I'll give some to you two.

Do you two know how to use US dollars?"

Father Huang quickly replied:

"Ye Xianzi, I understand this. Just take the US dollars to the bank and exchange them for gold bars and silver dollars."

Ye Xiaoyang nodded and continued:

"Uncle and aunt, please wait a moment. I'll go to the room and get you some money."

Huang's mother and father were full of expectations. They didn't expect that they could really get money from the Ye family when they came today.

Prices in Gusu City are high now, and the purchasing power of the little French currency in hand is getting lower and lower.

Unexpectedly, the Ye family brought US dollars. Now the US dollar is a hard currency and its purchasing power is still strong.

Yesterday afternoon, I happened to hear that Ye Yuxuan and his wife and their third son had returned to Gusu City to visit relatives.

After going to bed that night, the couple discussed it and decided to try their luck at the Ye family.

I didn’t expect the third son of the Ye family to be so straightforward.

Back then, they heard from their daughter that the Ye family was very rich, very different from before, and mainly relied on Ye Xiaoyang of the Ye family.

After a while, Ye Xiaoyang walked into the living room with a stack of money in his hand and went straight to Huang's father.

He originally wanted to give Huang's father and others $200,000, but he was afraid that they would not be able to keep it and it would cost them their lives instead.

"Uncle, this is $100,000. If you spend it frugally, it should be enough for you two old folks to retire."

Huang's father and mother didn't expect Ye Xiaoyang to be so generous and directly took out 100,000 US dollars.

One hundred thousand U.S. dollars can be exchanged for more than two hundred thousand oceans.

If they don't spend money recklessly, it will be enough for the two of them to live on in their old age.

Huang's mother reached out and took the stack of money. She took a look at it and put it in her bag.

"Thank you, nephew."

"Uncle and aunt, these are troubled times, and you two elders should understand that wealth should not be exposed.

Government banks are not necessarily reliable either, so remember not to put all your eggs in one basket."

Huang's father and mother quickly nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, nephew. My husband and I will be careful."

After saying that, Mr. and Mrs. Huang stood up.

Ye Yuxuan stood up and said:

"In-laws, why don't you have lunch at home before leaving?"

Father Huang waved his hand and said:

"You're welcome, my dear. Please come to my house before you leave Gusu City.

We'll have a few drinks together then."

Ye Yuxuan:

"Okay, I'll see my in-laws and mother-in-law off."

"Please stay, in-laws. The Ye family is not far from the Huang family. We will be home in a short time."

"San'er, please see your uncle and aunt off and take good care of their safety on the way."

"Dad, don't worry."

Half an hour later, Ye Xiaoyang returned home.

Ye Yuxuan asked:

"Third brother, why don't you give them $200,000?"

"Dad, too much may not be good for them."

"Old man, San'er has considered everything. The world is in chaos now, and the Huang family is no longer the same as before.

They have too much money on them, which makes them easy targets for thieves."

"Mom, should we go to Jinling to take a look?"

Ye's mother knew what her son meant and asked her if she wanted to go back to her parents' home to see if anyone was there.

"Forget it! It's just a look, and we can't do anything to help them except give them some money.

When you have time, go to Jinling and take a look."

"Ok."

"Third brother, have you contacted your second brother? We haven't seen him since we came back."

"Dad, my second brother is in the north right now, helping the Communist Party fight the Deep Blue government. He can't leave us."

"San'er, what about your second brother's new wife? Can you give their child to us to raise?"

"I asked my second brother, and he said their daughter was in the Communist revolutionary base in the northwest.

It would take more than a month to send him back to Gusu City, and the child is still too young to travel long distances."

"Ah! When the second child was little, your mother and I were the least worried. But after he grew up, he made us worry a lot."

"Dad, my second brother doesn't want this either. He wants the people to have enough food and live a stable life.

To do such a great thing, one must always pay a price, and not being able to reunite with family is one of those prices."

"Old man, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."

"Mom, you still understand the younger generation."

"Old Three, what do you mean? Don't I understand you guys? I think you've grown wings."

"Dad, no matter how strong my wings are, I am still your son."

"That's pretty much it."

"Old man, let's go to the Ye family's ancestral tomb to burn incense tomorrow."

"Yeah, in all these years in the United States, I, an unfilial descendant of the Ye family, have never kowtowed or burned incense to our ancestors.

Take this opportunity to explain this to our ancestors."

Mother Ye sighed and said softly:

"Thanks to Lao Wang's family, hey!"

"Mom, don't sigh. Wait until I send you two elders to Hujiang, and then come back to help Aunt Wang get revenge.

Let those bastards live a few more days."

"San'er, give some money to your uncle Wang and ask his son to buy a few more acres of land to build up the family business."

"Mom, these are just little things."

Ye Yuxuan:

"Old Wang is already old, shall we ask his son to help look after the old house for us?

Third brother, you need to give more money, and you also need to find a way to ask someone to protect the Ye family's old house.

Your second brother's situation is special, you can't count on him."

"Dad, don't worry. I deeply regret what happened to Aunt Wang. I shouldn't have withdrawn all my brothers from China.

It was my son who was inconsiderate, otherwise Aunt Wang wouldn't have been beaten to death."

“San’er, no matter how many properties the Ye family has around the world, we cannot lose the Ye family mansion.

This isn't about money; this is the root of our Ye family in Gusu City. All our ancestors are here."

"Mom, I understand that I can only make a mistake once, but I can't fall in the same place twice."

"Okay, I believe what San'er says."

"Third brother, what are you going to do?"

"Dad, don't ask. As the saying goes, killing someone means paying with your life. This is the minimum requirement, but this matter started with the Ye family.

Since they dare to mess with the Ye family, I will let them know that the Ye family in Gusu City is not someone that anyone can mess with."

"San'er, don't hurt innocent people."

“Mother, the mastermind must be eradicated, and the murderer will suffer the same fate.

As for the other accomplices, only their lives will be taken, and their families will not be implicated."

Ye Yuxuan took a deep breath. He didn't expect that his son would kill so many people for Lao Wang's wife.

"Third brother, is that too much?"

"Dad, it's not much. If we don't do this, someone will come to spy on the Ye family's old house in the future."

Ye's mother:

"Old man, San'er handled it this way very well. Since ancient times, every great family has been feared and respected.

"You must have a compassionate heart, but also ruthless tactics."

"Mom, you still understand your son's behavior."

"San'er, your father has been kind all his life, and sometimes even mother thinks he is weak.

Given your father's personality, even if the fire hadn't destroyed our Ye family's silk processing factory, our family would have had a hard time surviving when the Japanese invaders arrived in Gusu City.

Kindness has a hard time taking hold in troubled times."

Ye Yuxuan lowered his head. He understood what his wife said. Their family could live the life they had today thanks to their third son.

Ye Xiaoyang walked to his father, put his arm around the old man's shoulders, and said softly:

"This world would be a better place if there were more people like Dad."

"Third brother, there's no need to comfort your father. Your father is not a child. Does he need your comfort?"

"Old man, don't be ungrateful."

"Mom, my dad is the best father in the world."

After listening to this, Ye Yuxuan raised his head and laughed.

"Third brother, you have good taste!"

"Old man, is rainbow fart delicious?"

The whole family is happy together.
