As they were talking, Ye Xiyun led them to the gate of Chun Ge'er's house. They were late, and the villagers had surrounded his house. There were many unmarried brothers and sisters and children, who loved to watch the fun the most.

Ye Xiyun said in frustration, "If I had known it was Chun Ge'er who came back, I should have gone out with my father this afternoon."

They saw Ye Hongsheng when he went out in the afternoon, but they didn't know he was coming here.

Ye Xunqing stood on tiptoe to look inside. He was not short among the guys, but there were so many people that he really couldn't see inside.

"Go, go, go..." Ye Hongsheng came out to chase them away, "What are you all doing here? If anyone stays here and watches, bring me half a pound of meat."

At this time, an old man who could barely walk came over with a cane, "Hongsheng, why are you so angry? We came here to ask for candy. Chun Ge'er has returned with his husband and children, so how can we not give him candy?"

Ye Hongsheng was in a state of panic. "My dear uncle, what are you doing here? Go back now, there's no candy." Then he called a little girl next to him, "Li girl, why don't you take your ancestor back?"

Li Yatou muttered, "Mother asked us to come and ask for candy..."

"You want some candy?" Ye Hongsheng couldn't help but curse. "What the hell is it? Aren't you guys going back to eat?"

Li Yatou pouted and helped her ancestor go home.

When it was time to eat, everyone found that they couldn't get any candy, so they left in groups of three or four.

Seeing that they had all left, Ye Hongsheng was about to turn around and go back into the house.

"Father..." Ye Xiyun called out to him, "Aren't you going home for dinner?"

Ye Hongsheng waved his hand, "I'm not going back tonight. What are you two doing here? You're not here to ask for candy, are you? There's no candy, not even a single blade of grass. Go back quickly."

Ye Xiyun replied: "We are not here to ask for candy. We haven't seen Chun Ge'er for many years and want to meet him."

Chun Ge'er is three years older than them, and they used to have a good relationship.

Ye Hongsheng hesitated for a moment and was about to let his son and daughter go back when he heard crying again from inside.

"What do you want me to do? How am I going to support your family?" A woman with a hoarse voice was crying.

Ye Hongsheng hurried in.

Ye Xunqing brought Ye Xiyun with him and said, "Let's go in and take a look too."

Ye Xiyun was also a person who loved to watch the fun. "Come on, let's go and see if Chun Ge'er's man is handsome."

Ye Xunqing carried Xiaobai in his arms. Xiaobai walked too slowly and he was afraid that Xiaobai could not keep up.

Ye Hongsheng entered the wing room. It was called a wing room, but in fact it was the shabby house where Ye Xunqing lived. It was leaky and dirty. The unpleasant smell filled the entire room, making people unwilling to set foot in it.

Ye Xunqing held Ye Xunbai and stood at the door, looking inside. He saw a boy with a bulging belly sitting by the bed. He looked haggard, his hair was yellow, and he was wiping his tears.

Next to him was a gray-haired woman. She cried and clapped her hands, saying, "You evil creature! I asked you to marry Liu Da Naotou, but you refused. Now you've found this person yourself. Are you satisfied?"

Chun Ge'er didn't say anything, just sat there crying silently.

At this time, a man who looked uglier than Wang Sanbalzi came over and said, "Mother-in-law, don't cry. Chun Ge'er and I have come back to honor you and your father-in-law."

The woman cursed: "You worthless thing, are you here to honor us, or do you want to steal all our coffin money? You didn't bring a penny back, but you're owing a lot of debts. If the debt collectors come after you, what will you give them?"

The pockmarked man was unhappy. "Mother-in-law, as long as you have the strength and are willing to work, you will definitely get money."

Chun Ge'er said: "As long as you don't gamble, our family won't be in debt."

"Another troublemaker!" The woman was about to cry. "Your father is a gambler, your brother is a gambler, and now you've found another gambler. Are you really going to drive me to death?"

Ye Hongsheng advised: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will go talk to my eldest brother and let him live a good life."

People with the same surname usually call each other uncle, aunt, brother, and sister-in-law according to their generation. According to generation, Chun Ge'er and his family should call Ye Hongsheng uncle, but they are already five generations apart.

When the woman heard this, she sat down on the ground and said, "I can't live like this anymore. I might as well die."

"What are you doing?" Ye Hongsheng, a stranger, was too embarrassed to help her. "Brother Yun, you and Brother Qing come over here and help your aunt up."

Ye Xunqing and Ye Xiyun went over to help her, but the woman didn't want to get up and kept sitting on the ground crying, as if she was going to cry herself to death.

Ye Hongsheng was annoyed by her noise. "I'll go check on my eldest brother. Lan Jie'er, go get your mother and bring some food."

Lan Jie'er responded, "I understand, Father."

After Ye Hongsheng went to the main hall, the ugly man with pockmarks on his face also left. When he left, he looked at Ye Xunqing and Ye Xiyun, mainly at Ye Xunqing.

Ye Xunqing saw his gaze and knew that this was a lecherous man, so he glared back at him openly, "If you look at me again, I will dig out your eyes."

The pockmarked man said "very fierce", then walked out with a smirk.

Seeing Ye Xiyun and Ye Xunqing, Ye Zongchun cried even harder, "Brother Yun, Brother Qing, please don't go out! There are only beasts out there. If we go out, we'll never come back!"

After hearing what he said, Ye Xiyun came over to comfort him. However, Ye Zongchun's crying woke up the child sleeping on the bed. The child was probably less than one year old and looked thin, small, and ugly.

"Ouch, you scared me." Ye Xiyun covered his chest, "Is this your child?"

"My son is ten months old." Ye Zongchun wiped his tears and said, "All he does is eat and sleep. He's already ten months old, but he can't even roll over."

"That's developmental delay." Ye Xunqing walked over. "If there was early intervention, he could grow up normally."

Ye Zongchun didn't want to care about him at all, "It's up to you to live or die."

Ye Xunqing was stunned for a moment, then saw his belly, "Are you...going to give birth again?"

Unexpectedly, Ye Zongchun burst into tears again after hearing this. "Just like the pigs in the pen, giving birth to one litter after another until they die!"

Ye Xunqing was a little embarrassed. Didn't they say it was difficult for brothers to have children? Oh, it was also possible that there were differences between brothers. For example, his father had only three of them.

"Don't say that, the child will be upset." Ye Xiyun didn't know how to comfort him.

Ye Zongchun said, "They are suffering, and I am suffering too. I wish I could beat them up right now!"

Ye Xunqing looked at Ye Zongchun, who seemed to be suffering from prenatal depression.
