After dying early, I traveled to ancient times and became a boy

The story began when they had not eaten lunch at noon. The noise Ye Xunqing and the others heard at that time was actually a quarrel between Xiuniang's parents' family and her husband's family.

Ye Ergen died, Luzhu wasn't sold, and Xiuniang didn't return, so Ye Ergen's family felt they had suffered a huge loss. They had spent so much money on a wife, and not only did she not give birth to a son, but now she had run away. They couldn't swallow this.

So Ye Ergen's father and brothers went to Liujia Village and asked the Liu family to return the money. Of course, the Liu family refused to return the money, as they had already used it to marry a wife.

The two sides failed to reach an agreement, and Ye Ergen's family gave the Liu family three days to consider it. No matter what, they wanted money.

The Liu family thought about it and felt that there was another way.

Xiuniang is young and can still bear children. If she is allowed to remarry, won’t the money be returned?

This idea was approved by Ye Ergen's family, but the two families did not reach a consensus on who Xiuniang should remarry.

The Liu family wanted Xiuniang to go back, while the Ye Ergen family had chosen a candidate in the town. Both families had some money and wanted to remarry after their wives had died.

The two arguing parties decided to let Xiuniang make the decision herself. When Xiuniang heard this, she became furious and immediately started arguing with both families.

But she was no match for so many people, and they threatened her with her daughter, so Xiuniang was so upset that she ran out and jumped into the river.

"If I hadn't been annoyed by their noise and asked them to talk outside, Xiuniang wouldn't have been forced to jump into the river by them." The third grandmother felt very regretful.

Ye Xunqing said: "Mother-in-law, don't blame yourself. The culprits of this matter are those two families, not you or Sister Xiuniang."

But now that Xiuniang is dead, what will happen to Luzhu? Those two families are probably going to fight for Luzhu and sell it to someone else, because it was Ye Ergen who wanted to sell Luzhu to the fool in the first place.

Xiuniang protected her daughter with all her might and prevented her from being harmed. Now that Xiuniang can no longer protect Luzhu, Luzhu's life will probably be even more difficult in the future.

Liu Xiaojing felt sorry for the poor girl. She thought of her own childhood when her father didn’t love her and her mother didn’t care for her. Her brothers only bullied her, and in the end, she was the one who got beaten.

"I'll carry Luzhu back first." Liu Xiaojing said, "Well, we'll talk about the future later."

The third grandmother said, "Okay, comfort her first. Her mother is gone, and this is the time when she needs her mother's care."

After Liu Xiaojing left, Ye Xunqing discussed countermeasures with the Third Grandma, "Luzhu must not go with these two families. No matter which family she goes to, she will not escape the fate of being sold."

"Luzhu is my disciple, and I won't let them take the child away." The third grandmother glared at her, "She has already accepted the master, so she must follow me from now on."

"It's easy to dodge an open attack, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark." This is what Ye Xunqing was worried about. "If they resort to stealing or robbing, I don't think my mother-in-law will be able to withstand it."

"Go find the village chief," Feng Jingheng said. "Everyone in the village knows that Luzhu has worshipped the Third Mother-in-law. As long as the village chief comes forward to testify, no one can take Luzhu away from them. Anyone who takes Luzhu away will be making an enemy of the entire Yejia Village."

"You're right." Ye Xunqing thought Feng Jingheng was quick-witted. "Let's go find Uncle Hongsheng now."

Ye Hongsheng had heard about Xiuniang and her daughter, and he was very sad, but things had come to this point, and no amount of sadness could save Xiuniang's life.

"Well, I understand what you said." Ye Hongsheng said, "I will hold a village meeting tomorrow and let Luzhu follow Third Granny from now on."

"Words are not enough, we need written proof." Ye Xunqing said, "We need to write a name card for Luzhu to take Third Granny as her teacher, and sign it a few days ago."

Ye Hongsheng took a look and said, "You kid, you think a lot."

Ye Xunqing wrote a document, first asked Ye Hongsheng to sign and stamp it with his fingerprints, then gave it to Third Mother-in-law to sign and stamp it with her fingerprints, and finally to Luzhu.

Luzhu couldn't write very well, so Ye Xunqing wrote her name for her, but she was the one who put the handprint.

The next morning, as soon as Luzhu woke up, she wanted to go find her mother, and Liu Xiaojing couldn't stop her.

Ye Xunqing put on his coat and came out, "Luzhu, Luzhu, wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

Luzhu ran barefoot to Ye Xunqing, "Uncle Qing, I want my mother..."

Ye Xunqing picked her up and coaxed her, "I know, Luzhu misses her mother, right?"

"Yeah." Tears welled up in the corners of Luzhu's eyes again.

"Luzhu's mother was killed by a bad guy. Does Luzhu know who it was?" Ye Xunqing asked her.

"I know." Luzhu cried, "It's Grandpa, my uncle, Grandpa and my uncle..."

"Luzhu is very smart and has a good memory." Ye Xunqing continued, "Do you want to avenge your mother?"

This time, Luzhu's reaction was more dramatic. "Yes! I want to avenge my mother!"

"But Luzhu is still young and doesn't have the strength to defeat them." Ye Xunqing said, "Luzhu should wait until she grows up before seeking revenge, understand?"

"Wow..." Luzhu cried, "Mother, mother..."

Ye Xunqing hugged her tightly, "Luzhu, don't cry. Mother doesn't want to see you crying, so you have to be strong."

Luzhu tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes and said, "I won't cry, I won't cry."

Ye Xunqing was very pleased. "Okay, now uncle wants to tell Luzhu a few things. Luzhu must remember them."

Luzhu nodded, "Yes, Luzhu will definitely remember it."

As Ye Xunqing and the others expected, when the Third Grandma accepted Luzhu as her disciple, the Ye and Liu families came as expected, and they all wanted to take Luzhu away.

Ye Hongsheng took out the written document and said, "You can't take Luzhu away. Where Luzhu goes in the future is up to her."

The Liu family disagreed, saying that Luzhu was still young and should listen to her parents and elders. Now that her parents were gone, she should listen to her elders.

Luzhu said, "No, my mother told me to take Third Granny as my teacher. I have already done so, so I will stay here from now on."

Ye Ergen's father disagreed, "No, Luzhu belongs to my family, you must listen to me."

"Luzhu is no longer yours," Ye Xunqing said. "Just a few days ago, her mother gave her to the gods. From now on, Luzhu will only listen to the gods and convey their will. If you don't believe me, come and see the written agreement."

Someone in the Liu family who could read came up and took a look. It was indeed a document stating that Luzhu had become their apprentice, which made them a little embarrassed.

"I advise you not to go against the ghosts and gods. The last person who disrespected them has already gone to meet them." Ye Xunqing said with a smile, "I think you know who that person is better than I do."

The Ye and Liu families began to hesitate.

Ye Xunqing winked at Feng Jingheng, who immediately threw the tinderbox in his hand onto the straw beside him. Dry straw caught fire easily, but there was also wet straw in the middle, and the combination of dry and wet caused smoke to rise.

"Look, this is the fate of offending ghosts and gods!" Ye Xunqing took the lead in bowing, "Gods, ghosts, don't be angry, don't be angry!"

This trick is too fake, but it is enough to deceive the ignorant villagers.
