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

After Yang Qin left, Ye Xunqing talked to Feng Jingheng for a few words and then took medicine and went to sleep. He had to take care of his body. If he died again, he probably wouldn't have the chance to change his body.

Feng Jingheng closed the door and came out, and Ye Hongxia also came from the kitchen.

"How is it? Is Xunqing feeling better?" Ye Hongxia asked in a low voice.

Feng Jingheng nodded, "Yeah, much better." After a moment, he added, "Ah Qing said the eggs you cooked were delicious."

Ye Hongxia smiled slightly, "Oh, eat more, keeping healthy is the most important thing."

"Why did you think of sending eggs to Ah Qing?" Feng Jingheng asked directly.

Ye Hongxia stammered, "I, I, I think you are right..."

"What I said was right." Feng Jingheng was quite confident. "Don't follow your father around and talk nonsense in the future. He... he's an idiot." This should be a bad thing to say, right? He didn't know for sure, but he often heard Ye Xunqing say it.

"Ah?" Ye Hongxia didn't understand what Feng Jingheng was saying, but she understood the previous sentence. "If I don't listen to him, who else should I listen to?"

"Listen to yourself." Feng Jingheng frowned and said, "If he is right, you listen to him. If he is wrong, ignore him."

"But..." Ye Hongxia didn't dare. For more than 20 years, she had always listened to her husband.

She was pedantic and incompetent. As a daughter-in-law, she could only listen to her husband. After she had a daughter-in-law, she became a mother-in-law and wanted to control her daughter-in-law. However, in the end, no one listened to her, not even Liu Xiaojing.

She was afraid of being beaten, afraid that she would have nothing if she left her husband. If a woman lost her husband, wouldn't she be bullied by others?

Look at Xiuniang. After her husband died, she was forced to jump into the river.

Ye Hongxia didn't dare. She didn't dare to do anything. Even when she gave eggs to Ye Xunqing, she did it secretly.

This is a pitiful woman, but there are people like her all over the village.

While they cursed those unruly and fierce wives, they secretly envied their lives. Why could they do it, but they couldn't? Resist? No, they would get beaten. And the rules left by their ancestors couldn't be broken.

Rules are made by people, and the people who make these rules are definitely not the daughter-in-law. How can the vested interests care about the life and death of the oppressed?

Feng Jingheng said, "Be nicer to Ah Qing in the future. Ah Qing won't be unfilial to you. He's a kind person. He was able to reconcile with his Third Mother-in-law by scolding her. How could he still hate you?"

"I've said before that he's unruly." Ye Hongxia felt a little regretful. If she hadn't quarreled with Ye Xunqing, would Ye Xunqing have brought her a piece of cloth when he came back from Yuanzhou City this time?

"He had breakfast this morning." Feng Jingheng suddenly said, "But he still ate the eggs you took because he didn't want to go against you and was willing to live in peace with you."

Ye Hongxia opened her mouth, "I...I understand."

"You are my mother. I will not ignore you when you are old, but how you want us to take care of you depends on you." Feng Jingheng said again: "Only when parents love each other can children be filial."

This is what Ye Xunqing said. He said it many times, but Ye Hongxia had never heard it. In her heart, children should be unconditionally filial to their parents.

But Feng Jingheng and Feng Jinghua's attitudes made her very worried. The son really was no longer under the control of his mother when he grew up.

The conversation between mother and son ended here. Ye Hongxia went back to the kitchen to cook, while Feng Jingheng went out to chop bamboo, as bamboo poles were needed to build a house.

"Brother Ah Heng, are you going out?" Ye Xunbai came back after playing.

"Yeah." Feng Jingheng asked him, "Have you seen Xiao Yan?"

Ye Xunbai said, "Brother Xiaoyan has been going to the back mountain a lot lately. He said he was going to collect herbs."

Feng Jingheng didn't believe it, because Mo Yuyan didn't bring back many herbs, so there must be something in the back mountain.

"I see. Go back and write." Feng Jingheng reminded him, "Your brother is sleeping. Don't disturb him."

"I understand. Xiaobai will be a good boy." Ye Xunbai went home.

Feng Jingheng walked towards the back mountain with a machete. He first looked for Mo Yuyan, and if he couldn't find her, he would go and chop firewood.

In a cave in the back mountain, Mo Yuyan was talking to a young man of about sixteen or seventeen years old. The two of them were scratching on the ground with charcoal, as if they were discussing something.

"My benefactor, is this road feasible?" asked the young man.

"Yes." Mo Yuyan said, "I've already walked through it and it's passable. Then you and Xiaoyu can run from here, all the way north to the main road, then turn to the small road. The rest is up to you."

The young man was very grateful. "Thank you, benefactor. When Xiaoyu and I escape, we will definitely come back to thank you."

Mo Yuyan didn't need their gratitude. He said, "Don't come back once you leave. Live a good life with Xiaoyu. Maybe we'll meet again in the future."

"Yeah." The young man nodded.

His name was Sancai, and he was from Hujia Village, which also belonged to Yutong Town but was quite far from Yejia Village. He had come here following his childhood sweetheart, Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu is a fifteen-year-old boy. His parents died early and he lives with his uncle.

A few days ago, his uncle sold him to Chen Jinhua as a daughter-in-law for three taels and five cents of silver.

Sancai looked at the three taels of silver in his hand and felt very sad. "Their family agreed that as long as I have three taels of silver, they will marry Xiaoyu to me."

After he earned three taels of silver, Xiaoyu's uncle refused to acknowledge his debt and demanded five more qian of silver. Sancai tried to raise the money, but failed, and Xiaoyu was sold.

He chased all the way to Yejia Village and found out who bought the fish. He wanted to redeem the fish, but the family wanted ten taels of silver, which Sancai could not afford.

Ye Dayong and Ye Eryong were also ridiculous. Originally, Chen Jinhua said that this was the wife bought for Ye Dayong. Ye Eryong was unhappy when he heard it. He spent all his money to buy a wife for his elder brother and still owed so much money. What would he do in the future?

Ye Eryong also wanted a wife, which caused unrest in the family and prevented them from getting married. Otherwise, Ye Dayong would have married Xiaoyu long ago.

Chen Jinhua and Ye Laosi were so annoyed by him that they came up with a ridiculous idea. They wanted Xiaoyu to marry both of their brothers at the same time, with the eldest brother marrying her on odd dates and the second brother marrying her on even dates.

It was extremely absurd, but there was nothing they could do, so brothers Ye Dayong and Ye Eryong agreed.

Xiaoyu didn't agree. He didn't want to in the first place, and now he was forced to marry two people. It would be better to kill him.

Sancai came to the house and wanted to redeem Xiaoyu, but Ye Laosi and Chen Jinhua disagreed and drove Sancai out.

Mo Yuyan also saw it that day. After he learned that Sancai and Xiaoyu liked each other, he planned to steal Xiaoyu away.

"Tomorrow night I'll put drugs in their food so they can sleep more soundly. Then you can take Xiaoyu away." Mo Yuyan had already made a plan. "Run away as soon as they come out. Don't worry about me. I can run away."

Sancai gave him half of the silver and said, "Thank you, this money is for you..."

"I don't want it." Mo Yuyan said righteously, "I hate human trafficking the most in my life, so I'm not helping you for money."
