Seeing that he was angry, Wang San Tu said, "Wife, your father has already accepted my betrothal gift, so you are mine now. You must obey me from now on. I'm telling you, you must stay away from this poor guy. He has dirty thoughts about you."

Ye Xunqing looked up at Feng Jingheng. Feng Jingheng's dark eyes stared straight into Ye Xunqing's, as if he was going to rush up and snatch him away in the next second.

"You two can fight, and I'll follow whoever wins." Ye Xunqing raised his hand and said, "Go ahead."

Wang Sandu would definitely not be able to beat Feng Jingheng. Feng Jingheng could carry a rake weighing over a hundred pounds. Others used oxen to plow the fields, but he used him. Who could compete with him?

Wang Sandu refused to fight, and Feng Jingheng would not fight with him either, but he did not leave. He stayed beside the ox cart, fearing that Wang Sandu would do something bad.

In the evening, they finally arrived at the village. Ye Xunqing took the new clothes he had bought and said to Feng Jingheng, "Second Brother Feng, let's divide the accounts tomorrow morning. I will give you the money you deserve. I won't let you down."

Feng Jingheng didn't say much, just nodded.

Wang Sandu shouted, "What do you mean by this? What's the point of dividing the accounts? Are you going to give him money? Why?"

Ye Xunqing said, "I bought peaches and mushrooms from Second Brother Feng. Shouldn't I give him some of the money I've earned?"

"Making money?" Wang Sandu pressed, "How do you make money? How much do you make?"

Ye Xunqing stretched out two fingers and said, "Two taels of silver." In fact, it was just a little more than one tael, he deliberately exaggerated it.

After hearing this, Wang Sandu immediately said, "Why would you give him any money? That's our family's money."

"That's my money. I can give it to whoever I want." Ye Xunqing irritated him: "We haven't even gotten married yet. Why should I give you the money? If I were happy, I would give him all the two taels of silver."

Wang Santou got angry. He raised his hand and slapped Ye Xunqing in the face. "You bastard, how dare you give my money to others? I'll beat you to death!"

Ye Xunqing could have easily avoided the slap, but he didn't, and instead took the slap.

After the beating, Ye Xunqing immediately covered her face and cried, "Why did you hit me? We haven't even gotten married yet, and you're beating me like this. After we get married, are you going to beat me to death?"

Feng Jingheng was about to enter the house, but when he saw Wang San Tuzi hitting Ye Xunqing, he was furious and kicked Wang San Tuzi to the ground, cursing, "Get out!"

Wang Santou's stomach was nearly broken by the kick. He immediately got up and drove away in his donkey cart, saying, "Bitch, after we get married, I'll make you pay!"

Ye Xunqing cried even harder. He sat at the door of Feng Jingheng's house and cried, "This is killing me! That bald guy Wang San dared to beat me like this before he even married me. I'm afraid I won't be able to save my life in the future!" This was not enough. He hugged his younger brother and said, "Xiaobai, we are so miserable! Dad is dead, father doesn't want us, and now my brother is going to marry the old baldy. There is no way for us brothers to survive in the future..."

Feng Jingheng felt more and more upset the more he listened. He rushed forward and grabbed Wang Santouzi, who was driving the donkey cart away. "Apologize to him!"

Wang Sandu was reluctant at first, but Feng Jingheng beat him up, and then he admitted his mistake and said, "Qingge'er, I was wrong. Don't cry."

Ye Xunqing ignored him completely and continued to sit at the door crying, which made anyone who heard it cry and anyone who listened to it feel sad.

It was dark, and Ye Xunqing left without saying a word, carrying his brother. His thin back fell into Feng Jingheng's eyes, and Feng Jingheng felt even more uncomfortable.

In the evening, Feng Jingheng called all his family members together, and his family almost knew what he wanted to say.

"I must marry Qing Ge'er." Once Feng Jingheng makes up his mind, no one can change it even with ten oxen.

Ye Hongxia said worriedly: "Erlang, our family owes foreign debts..."

"I borrowed this money myself and I will pay it back alone." Feng Jingheng was very determined.

"Ye Laosi wants eight taels of silver..." Feng Datong said.

Feng Jingheng immediately got angry. "The Liu family asked for twelve taels of silver as a betrothal gift, and you gave it to them, didn't you? Besides that, there were all kinds of gifts and banquets. Just because I don't tell you how much the wedding cost doesn't mean I don't know!"

"Do you want us old bones to die?" Feng Datong was very angry.

"So you want Qingge'er to die?" Feng Jingheng also said harshly, "If he dies, I won't live either!"

After saying that, Feng Jingheng kicked the chair away and left.

"What are you doing?" The eldest brother, Feng Jinghua, was also furious. He slammed the table and said, "Second brother and Qing'er are childhood sweethearts. They went to school together and had a special bond. If Mr. Yang hadn't passed away long ago, Qing'er would have married into our family long ago. We said a long time ago that this marriage should be arranged, but you refused and insisted that the bride price was too high. How could it be higher than twelve taels of silver?"

Feng Jingan was about to cry, "Brother..."

Feng Jinghua said, "Xiao An, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but is this something you caused?"

Liu Xiaojing couldn't listen any longer. She shouted, "Okay, this is all my fault, right? I'm the one who's so cheap. I'm pregnant with your Feng family's child. I deserve to die, right? I'm going to jump into the river right now. I'll do the same thing as Ye Xunqing did to commit suicide."

Then she ran out, and Feng Jingan hurried to chase her back.

"I'll go ask the village chief to borrow some silver." Ye Hongxia slowly stood up. "It's just eight taels of silver. I won't be afraid of lice biting me if I have too many."

Feng Datong refused to let him go, "I'm the one who borrows money. I'm the head of the family."

Feng Jingheng was very upset. He ran to the bottom of the peach forest and sat there looking at the peaches on the trees. Ye Xunqing liked to eat peaches, so he planted a small peach forest. Unfortunately, only these few trees survived.

He didn't have the money to marry Ye Xunqing home, and he didn't even dare to say that he liked him. When he was beaten by Wang Baldy today, he was standing next to him, but he couldn't protect him.

Feng Jingheng became angrier and angrier, and slapped himself in the face, "I'm sorry..."

"Why don't you go home so late at night and feed the snakes here?" A familiar figure appeared in Feng Jingheng's sight.

"Why are you here?" Ye Xunqing walked up to him and pressed forward. "Do you know how your brother got your sister-in-law pregnant?"

Feng Jingheng's pupils shrank, and he quickly pushed him away, "Don't..."

"Are you scared?" Ye Xunqing chuckled, "Don't you want to marry me? As long as we sleep together, my father won't be able to stop us."

Feng Jingheng refused, "No, I will get the money to marry you."

"Are you sure?" Ye Xunqing asked again.

Feng Jingheng answered with certainty: "Qing'er, I swear, I will definitely marry you."

Ye Xunqing raised the corners of his lips slightly, leaned over and kissed him on the lips, "Waiting for you."

Feng Jingheng was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "I... I... I..."

Ye Xunqing didn't even listen to what he said. He just picked a peach and walked away in a swagger.
