"Why are you so ungrateful?" Chen Jinhua stamped her feet in anger. "We raised you, and this is how you treat us?"

"If you don't know how to speak, don't talk nonsense. Are you really the one who raised us? For so many years, hasn't most of the family's money come from my father's teaching?" Ye Xunqing glared at her and argued, "If my father hadn't made money from teaching, would he, Ye Laosi, have been able to marry a second wife? He has no dignity left."

At this time, Ye Lao Si rushed out from the main hall, still holding the whip in his hand, "You little beast, what are you talking about? When did I rely on your father?"

"Ask yourself honestly, if it weren't for my father's thriftiness, could you have afforded to marry a second wife?" Ye Xunqing had already found out everything. "When my father was alive, we had rice and meat to eat. Now that he's dead, we might not even have meat for half a month."

Ye Laosi was very angry and raised the whip to hit him. Feng Jingheng, who was standing by silently, raised his hand to stop the whip and snatched it away.

"Fourth uncle, Qing'er is mine, I hope you can be polite." Feng Jingheng said with a frown.

He was tall, strong, and powerful, so Ye Laosi was very afraid of him.

Ye Xunqing raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "Father, I advise you to use your brain before you act next time. Although I can't beat you, there are plenty of people who can teach you a lesson."

"Okay, okay, you've grown wings, haven't you?" Ye Lao Si looked at Ye Xunbai and said, "You're going to get married, but Brother Bai is still at home. If you want him to have an easy life, then bring the silver back."

"No." Feng Jingheng said, "Brother Bai will go with us."

His words surprised Ye Xunqing. He asked, "Do you agree that I can take Brother Bai with me?"

Ye Xunbai opened his big round eyes and looked at his brother, then looked at his second brother Heng, and then silently grabbed his brother's hand.

"Yes." Feng Jingheng said very firmly: "From now on, Brother Bai will be my biological brother. I will make money to support them."

Chen Jinhua said disdainfully, "Are you planning to marry Bai Ge'er off in a few years to get a dowry?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Feng Jingheng was also very angry. "Brother Bai will definitely find someone who loves him in the future. If he can't find a good one, his brother and I will support him for the rest of his life."

Chen Jinhua poured cold water on them, saying, "You're still in debt, how are you going to support them?"

Feng Jingheng was very firm. He said, "I will make money."

"It's true that you can make money, but you still have a big family to support. Your eldest brother hasn't married yet, and your third brother can't go out to work in the fields. Your parents are getting older, and the family still owes so much money. Can you spend the money on them in the future?" Chen Jinhua said with a smile.

Feng Jingheng pursed his lips and said, "I will take good care of them!"

"Such a noise." Ye Xunqing didn't want to bother with these things. He would always have money. He didn't worry about these things at all. "Ah Heng, I want to go to your house to eat stuffed buns. Let's go."

When leaving, Ye Xunqing served all the sauce in the pot. He left a bowl for Ye Laosi and the others, and sent the rest to the cellar of the village chief's house. They would still set out from the village chief's house to go to the market tomorrow.

"I'm sorry, I'm too poor." On the way, Feng Jingheng apologized to Ye Xunqing.

"Who isn't poor? I'm also a pauper." Ye Xunqing said with a smile: "So don't expect me to bring a dowry to your house. Not only will I not bring a dowry, I will also bring a younger brother with me. One more person means one more mouth to feed. Don't be disgusted. Ye Xunbai immediately said: "Second Brother Heng, Xiaobai can eat less. Don't be angry with me."

Feng Jingheng smiled. "Why would I be angry with you? I only blame myself for not being able to make that much money. There's not much work in town. These days, I go to town with my eldest brother to move things for people. I only make eight or nine copper coins a day, and a bowl of noodles costs three copper coins."

"Don't make yourself so tired. We have plenty of ways to make money in the future." Ye Xunqing comforted him, "Go to town and ask more about the prices and what's selling well. Then I'll think about what we can sell in the future."

Feng Jingheng nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

When Ye Hongxia heard that the two brothers were coming over for dinner in the evening, she was very happy. She immediately used old dough to make dough and went to the field to pick some fresh vegetables, planning to add bacon and mix them together to make stuffing.

"Mom, this is the mushroom and meat sauce that Qing'er gave me. You can scoop out a bowl and store the rest in the cellar." Feng Jingheng gave the mushroom and meat sauce to his mother.

Ye Hongxia asked, "Is it the sauce from last time?"

"Yes." Feng Jingheng said, "I'm giving you a lot this time, so you have to keep it safe."

"Hahaha." Ye Hongxia was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. "Tomorrow I'll ask Qing Ge'er how he made it, and I'll try making some myself."

Feng Jingheng said, "It's made with meat and mushrooms."

Ye Hongxia hesitated for a moment, touched the jar and said, "That's a bit difficult to do."

Outside, the Ye Xunqing brothers were playing with Feng Jingan's son Feng Xu. Feng Xu was already one year and one month old, but he was a little disabled and could not walk very well yet.

"He looks more like his mother." Ye Xunqing touched the child's face and said, "His eyes look like yours."

Feng Jingan couldn't help laughing and said, "You are the only one who dares to tell the truth. Others say he looks more like me, but in fact he doesn't look like me. He looks like Xiaojing."

"There's nothing wrong with looking like mom. Mom is pretty, and our little Xu'er will definitely be very pretty in the future." Ye Xunqing teased him, "Isn't that right, little Xu'er?"

Xiao Xuer giggled when he tickled her.

"Hmph, what can a boy do if he looks effeminate?" Feng Datong sat on the doorstep and watched them. "He'll be as useless as his father."

After hearing this, Feng Jing'an lowered his head and said nothing more.

"What do you mean by promising and what does it mean to be unsuccessful?" Ye Xunqing was not happy to hear it. "Xiao An is one year younger than me. He still has a few decades to live. Who knows what he will be like in ten years?"

Feng Jing'an's eyes lit up and he smiled.

"His two older brothers, when they were his age, were already working in the fields," Feng Datong said unhappily. "And his sister, too, could plant rice, but he couldn't! He screamed like a ghost when he got to the paddy fields. If you didn't know him, you'd think he was going to get stuck in the mud."

"Isn't that because you spoiled me when I was little?" Feng Jinghua, the eldest brother of the Feng family, came back carrying a bamboo basket. "I loved my little son. I was so reluctant to let him do anything. Now he can't do anything. How many more years can the second son and I live with you? The second son is getting married soon. Can we still expect him to repay your debts?"

Feng Datong said angrily: "Boss, there are outsiders here, why are you saying this?"

Feng Jinghua put down the bamboo basket and wiped the sweat off his body. "How come Qing'er is an outsider? Won't he become a member of our family soon?"
