After Ye Xunqing and Liu Laiyan discussed the matter of making clothes, they left. When he walked to the door, he heard Liu Laiyan and Wang Jingui arguing in the house. He didn't know what they were arguing about.

In the room, Wang Jingui was holding Xiaomi's hairband in her hand, and Xiaomi was crying.

Liu Laiyan said angrily, "Mom, that was given to Xiaomi by Xunqing, you can't take it away!"

Wang Jingui said, "A little girl like me shouldn't need such fine things. This thing looks very expensive. I'll keep it and exchange it for money to help my grandson get married. Is that right? Rice?"

Da Mi shook her head like a rattle, "I don't want it, that's what Brother Qing gave to Xiaomi, grandma, don't take it."

Wang Jingui looked very disappointed and said, "You silly child, grandma is doing this for your own good. This thing can be sold for a lot of money."

Da Mi rushed over to grab it, "I don't want it, give it back to Xiaomi."

Seeing her son and mother-in-law fighting over something, Liu Laiyan tried to dissuade her son, "Forget it, it's not safe for Xiaomi to wear it. Leave it with your grandma..."

Da Mi didn't even let him finish, "I don't want to take Xiaomi's things to marry a wife! Xiaomi's is Xiaomi's, Brother Qing gave it to Xiaomi!"

Liu Laiyan was stunned, "Rice..."

"Dad is too much!" Da Mi cried, "You always listen to Grandma. Grandma took all the money, and you gave it to her too. Now Brother Qing gave it to Xiaomi, and you took it away from her too! Xiaomi and I have nothing left! This is obviously the money that Dad worked so hard to earn, why did he give it to Grandma? Grandma doesn't even give us money!"

Wang Jingui opened her eyes wide, "You damn child, I'm your grandmother, you should be filial to me! Your father can't manage the household, so the money should be left with me!"

After saying that, Wang Jingui put the hairband in her arms.

After seeing this, Xiaomi burst into tears, "Daddy, I want a hairband, I want a little bell..."

Liu Laiyan's mind was in a mess, "I..."

"Dad is not good at all!" Da Mi was anxious. "You are not as good as Brother Qing. Brother Qing can cook delicious food, teach Bai Ge'er to write, and teach him to fight back when he is bullied! You just tell us to be obedient, but I don't want to be obedient. I don't want grandma to take Xiaomi's hairband!"

Wang Jingui saw him making a fuss and slapped him in the face, "What are you making a fuss about, you little bastard? This is all for your own good!"

Liu Laiyan looked at the noisy family and suddenly thought of Ye Xunqing. Ye Xunqing was very famous in the village. He was not afraid of anyone. He would beat up anyone who provoked him. If he couldn't beat them, he would let Feng Jingheng do it.

Because he was so fierce, the villagers, including his parents-in-law, didn't dare to provoke him. And I, I was too cowardly...

"Give it to me!" Liu Laiyan rushed over to grab the hair tie. "It's my daughter's hair tie, no one can take it away!"

Liu Laiyan is taller and stronger than Wang Jingui. Although he was in poor health before, his health has improved a lot after taking the medicine given by Ye Xunqing.

Wang Jingui didn't expect Liu Laiyan to come and snatch it. She raised her hand to slap Liu Laiyan, "You are rebelling!"

Liu Laiyan also became tough, "Yes, you stole my daughter's things, I can't stand it!"

He tore open Wang Jingui's jacket in a few seconds, snatched back the bundle of hair ties, and then pushed Wang Jingui out with one hand, "Get out, get out! I earned the money and cooked the food. Get out now! You are not allowed to eat!"

Wang Jingui was driven out of the door by Liu Laiyan like a duck. Liu Laiyan also locked the door. No matter how Wang Jingui knocked, he refused to open the door.

Wang Jingui stood outside with her hands on her hips and cursed for a long time. The neighbors all came. Some accused Liu Laiyan of being unfilial, while others played the emotional card. Anyway, they just wanted Liu Laiyan to open the door.

The more Liu Laiyan thought about it, the more miserable he felt. Normally, no one came to visit him even when he was sick and dying, but now everyone came.

"We'll eat our own food." Liu Laiyan wiped her tears and said, "Xiaomi, Daddy will braid two beautiful pigtails for you later, using the hairband your brother Qing bought for you."

Xiaomi sobbed a few times, "Yeah."

Da Mi sat at the table and ate without saying a word.

Liu Laiyan patted his head and said, "My dear child, from now on, Daddy will only think about you and Xiaomi, not anyone else. Your damn father is dead, why should I care about those empty names?"

Da Mi raised his head and said, "Brother Qing said that the most important thing in life is to be happy. Dad should think about himself."

Liu Laiyan smiled and said, "Okay, Dad will think about the three of us from now on."

Wang Jingui made a fuss outside for a long time, but Liu Laiyan refused to open the door. Finally, probably because she was cold, she left.

In fact, Wang Jingui has more than one son, Dami's father, but she used to live here, so even if her son died, she felt that this was her house and Liu Laiyan should listen to her.

The next morning, Ye Xunqing slept until the sun rose before getting up, otherwise it would be very cold.

He planned to go see Xie Lingyin today. The gifts he bought yesterday did not include Xie Lingyin's because he knew Xie Lingyin would not be interested in these things. What Xie Lingyin was interested in was someone playing chess and talking with her.

"I've found a few people. When do you think we can start building the kitchen?" Feng Jingheng pushed the door open and said, "Once we're sure, we'll go to town and order some bricks."

Blue bricks are very expensive. Under normal circumstances, Feng Jingheng would not be willing to buy them. Even his previous kitchen was just a yellow mud and thatched house.

But since Ye Xunqing wanted a better kitchen, Feng Jingheng would not build a bad one for him.

Ye Xunqing held his face with one hand. "The weather has been good these past few days, so hurry up. You can arrange this. I don't know how to build a house, so I don't know how to break ground."

"Okay." Feng Jingheng said, "Then I'll go and order the blue bricks later."

As they were chatting, Liu Xiaojing came over and asked, "Second sister-in-law, do you want to go dig some sweet potatoes?"

Ye Xunqing asked, "What sweet potato?"

"It's our sweet potato!" Liu Xiaojing pointed at Feng Jingheng and said, "Second brother knows. It was him who dug the ridge."

Feng Jingheng nodded, "Indeed, we are the two sweet potatoes halfway up the mountain."

There are six in total. He got two of them when the family split up, but he was very busy before and never dug them up.

"Oh." Ye Xunqing said: "You guys go dig, I'm going to Uncle Xie's place today and will bring you some lotus roots when I come back.

Liu Xiaojing was very happy, "I want to eat meatballs."

Ye Xunqing smiled and said, "Okay, come over to eat meatballs in the evening."

Liu Xiaojing also said: "Then I'll dig some sweet potatoes for you."

After saying that, he carried the basket and went out with Feng Jing'an, leaving the child to be taken care of by the old couple Feng Datong.

Feng Jingheng was very pleased. "Xiao Jing is not a bad girl. She was young and naive before, but she has become much more sensible recently. In short, she is better than my stupid brother."

Ye Xunqing said proudly: "Huh, you don't even notice who taught you. Xiao Jing is my favorite disciple."

Feng Jingheng smiled and said, "Yes, Ah Qing is a good teacher."
