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

"Don't be angry, wait until he comes out and then you can teach him a lesson." Ye Xiyun stopped him from losing his temper.

However, Ye Zongchun became angrier the more he thought about it, and the child started crying again, so he pounded the bed hard, almost hitting the child.

Ye Xunqing was quick to act and took the crying baby in his arms to comfort him. Perhaps it was because he smelled good, or because he was gentle in his way of coaxing children. After the child was in his arms, he gradually stopped crying and smacked his little mouth, as if he wanted to eat something.

Ye Xunbai also came over to take a look, standing on tiptoe to see what the child looked like. Ye Xunqing made it easier for him to see and sat on the stool next to him to coax the child.

Ye Xiyun breathed a sigh of relief, "Qing'er, you know how to coax children. You will definitely be a good father in the future."

Ye Xunqing said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. The child seems hungry. Do you have... milk?"

Ye Zongchun shook his head and said, "No."

He is so thin himself, how can he have milk to feed the child?

"Is there any porridge?" Ye Xunqing asked again.

A ten-month-old baby can already drink porridge.

"No, dinner hasn't been cooked yet." Ye Zongchun's mother replied.

Ye Xunqing admired them a little, so he said, "Xiaobai, go to your aunt's place and bring a bowl of thinner porridge."

"I got it, brother." Ye Xunbai took on the task of finding porridge for the baby. His two short legs moved very quickly and he ran out in the blink of an eye.

Ye Xiyun was responsible for comforting Ye Zongchun, while Ye Xunqing sat beside him holding the child, listening to Ye Zongchun talk about what happened after he left.

It turned out that after Ye Zongchun escaped from his marriage, he went to the county town. As a young man with no special skills, he soon spent all his money. After he ran out of money, he thought about making more money. He couldn't do the hard work and he couldn't do the delicate work well. In the end, he ended up on the streets.

Later, she met Jin Mazi, her current husband. He gave her something to eat, and she followed him. But he turned out to be a gambler and a drinker, and would beat people up when he got drunk. They owed too much money in the county, and they couldn't bear to stay there, so they secretly fled back to the countryside.

Ye Xunqing didn't comment on this. He was a gambler, a gambler with nothing. When he was a volunteer at an orphanage, he met children whose parents were gamblers. Their parents had no money to pay back, so they either ran away or committed suicide, leaving the poor children behind in the orphanage. No one wanted to take them in because their parents owed too much money. If anyone did, the debt collectors would come to their homes to demand the money.

The child was indeed very hungry, and it was no use for Ye Xunqing to coax him.

"Throw him out!" Ye Zongchun got angry again.

Ye Xunqing was afraid that he would be upset, so he took the child out. Just then, Ye Xunbai came back with a basket containing a pot of porridge, three bowls, and a few steamed buns.

"You are quite strong." Ye Xunqing couldn't help but smile.

Ye Xunbai's face flushed red. He lifted the basket vigorously and said, "Auntie asked us to eat too."

Ye Xunqing stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth, then scooped out a bowl of porridge and went to the kitchen to find a spoon to feed the child.

The child was indeed hungry, and he drank the whole bowl of porridge in one gulp. After that, Ye Xunqing helped him pee and coaxed him back to sleep.

There were four steamed buns in total. The Ye Xunqing brothers ate two, and Ye Xunqing asked Xiaobai to give the remaining two to Ye Xiyun and Ye Zongchun.

Yang Qin prepared food for the four of them, but Ye Xilan wasn't there. Besides, she had gone home, so Wang Qiumei wouldn't leave her food short, so Ye Xunqing didn't need to save her portion.

Ye Xunbai sat at the door eating a steamed bun, and then Wang Qiumei and Ye Xilan came over with baskets.

"Why are you only eating steamed buns?" Wang Qiumei gave him some stir-fried vegetables. "Would you like some porridge?"

Ye Xunbai chewed the steamed bun in his mouth and said, "Auntie prepared porridge for us."

"Where is your brother?" Wang Qiumei asked again.

Ye Xunbai replied: "Brother went to coax the baby to sleep."

"Oh." Wang Qiumei smiled. "Then stay here and don't run around. Wait for your brother to come back."

Ye Xunbai nodded, "I understand, Auntie."

Wang Qiumei first sent some food to the main room. The men inside were still talking. They said they were talking, but they just sat there in silence. As long as someone spoke, there would be a quarrel.

As a woman, she had no say, so she took a small portion of the food to the east wing.

Ye Xunqing had just coaxed the child to sleep when he saw Wang Qiumei coming over. He said, "Auntie, I'll leave this to you. It's getting dark, so I'll take Xiaobai back."

Wang Qiumei thanked him and said, "You've been tired of taking care of the child. Go back and rest early."

Ye Xunqing winked at Ye Xiyun, who immediately said, "Mom, is there anything to eat at home? Lan Jie'er and I will go back and eat."

Wang Qiumei replied, "It's left for you. Go back first. Mother is here."

Ye Xiyun immediately ran away with his sister. This place was too depressing. Ye Zongchun cried and shouted at every turn. Ye Xiyun, a boy who had never seen the world, was almost scared to death.

Just then, Ye Xunbai had finished eating the steamed buns, so Ye Xunqing picked up the basket and prepared to return the things to Yang Qin.

"I was really scared. I thought he was going to hit me." Ye Xiyun shook his head and said, "Although Chun Ge'er had a bad temper before, he was not so crazy. I didn't expect that he would become a madman after going out."

"If it were you, you would go crazy too." This was all Ye Xunqing could say.

"Oh, it's too difficult." Ye Xiyun sighed and said, "This world is so unfair. Men can go out to work, but boys and girls who go out are either sold as concubines or sold to brothels. A few years ago, there was a girl from Liujia Village who went out. I heard she died in a brothel. When she died, her belly was big, she was already seven or eight months pregnant."

Ye Xunqing felt a pain in his heart. No wonder the original owner would rather commit suicide than escape. Maybe escaping would be more terrifying than death.

Seeing that he looked unhappy, Ye Xiyun immediately said, "Don't be afraid. You're going to get married soon. Your man is very capable and he will protect you."

Ye Xunqing paused and nodded, "Yes, I know."

After giving the things to Yang Qin, Ye Xiyun and Ye Xunqing separated. Ye Xunqing walked back with his brother and passed by Feng Jingheng's house.

Feng Jingheng was not there, so he did not go in and planned to leave.

As a result, Feng Jingheng came from the direction of his house, "Well, have you been out? I wanted to bring you some food..." He was holding a basket with peaches in his hand.

Ye Xunqing suddenly asked: "Do you know Chun Ge'er?"

Feng Jingheng must be someone he knows. "Oh, I heard he's back."

"Brother and sister, are we really going to die if we go out there?" Ye Xunqing was a little depressed.

Feng Jingheng looked at him and said, "If no one protects you, you will be like meat on the chopping board if you go out."

Ye Xunqing nodded, "Yeah, I understand."
