After dying early, I traveled to ancient times and became a boy
Chapter 23: Establishing Authority for the Wife
Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Ye Xunqing immediately said, "Uncle, Brother Hua, please stop arguing. I know all about the family debts, and Ah Heng and I will definitely pay back the money we owe."
"I'm not talking about that money." Feng Jinghua also looked unhappy. "Qing'er is here today, let's make things clear. The third brother owed a lot of foreign debt when he got married, and now he's still short of twelve taels of silver. This is not a small amount. Our family hasn't earned twelve taels of silver in two years."
Ye Xunqing was not an ancient person, so he did not understand the concept of twelve taels. He also felt that twelve taels was not a lot. The silver he had earned in the past few days was enough for two taels.
"Anyway, after the second son gets married, he will definitely have to live separately. Will you let him take out the twelve taels of foreign debt?" Feng Jinghua made everything clear directly.
"Brother..." Feng Jingheng came out of the kitchen and said, "Qingge'er and I will discuss this matter when we get back."
"Since you're getting married, you can't hide it from him, or you'd be deceiving him." Feng Jinghua didn't care. He had long been dissatisfied with the two elders' partiality. "Qing'er, tell me, if you got married and were burdened with a few taels of silver in foreign debt for no reason, would you be angry?"
"If I were asked to take on debt for no reason, I would definitely be angry." Ye Xunqing said directly.
Feng Jingheng's heart tightened, his eyes filled with worry, "Qing Ge'er..."
Feng Datong said nothing. The betrothal gift had already been given. If Ye Xunqing didn't want to marry him, could the betrothal gift be taken back? Judging from the stubborn temper of the second boy, he probably wouldn't want it back.
"But since Ah Heng is willing to take on this debt, I have nothing to say. I support his decision." Ye Xunqing changed the subject and said, "Whether we split up after marriage or not, whether we take on the debt or not, I don't care. Anyway, Ah Heng and I are together, that's all."
After saying this, Ye Xunqing felt like he was getting goosebumps.
Feng Jingheng walked over and hugged him, "I'm sorry, Qing'er, it's my fault."
"Stop arguing, I will pay you back. I will go to town to find a job tomorrow and I will definitely make some money." Feng Jing'an's eyes were red.
Feng Jinghua couldn't help but say, "With your small stature, no one wants you to carry bags for others! Do you know how much money your brother made today carrying bags? Only five copper coins, and I had to force it! There's been little work in town lately, and there are so many people working, so I can't make any money at all."
"I'm useless..." Feng Jing'an burst into tears on the spot.
"Why are you scaring the kid?" Ye Xunqing was unhappy. "Xiao An, don't listen to your big brother's nonsense. There will always be a way to make money."
"He's still a child?" Feng Jinghua was so angry that he almost laughed. "His son is over one year old, is he still a child?"
"Don't look at their status, just look at their age. Xiao An is younger than me. To me, he is just my younger brother, no different from Xiao Bai." Ye Xunqing said.
"I don't care about you. You can spoil him as much as you want. I wonder if you can spoil him for the rest of his life!" Feng Jinghua was so angry that he went back to the house with his hands behind his back.
Feng Jing'an sat in the yard holding his child and crying. Liu Xiaojing came out and scolded him for being useless, and Feng Datong also said that he was an incompetent man.
Ye Xunqing really couldn't stand it anymore. Feng Jing'an became a father at such a young age. In addition to his own immaturity, it was also partly because the Feng family did not take good care of him. If a son is not well educated, it is the fault of the father. Doesn't Feng Datong, as a father, have any responsibility at all?
"Don't cry." It was the second brother who came out and called Feng Jing'an away. "Give Xu'er to me. Go help mother light the fire."
Feng Jing'an sobbed a few times and handed his son to his second brother.
Ye Xunqing immediately went over to tease the child, then whispered, "It's because your father and mother didn't educate him well. Now they think he's incompetent. What did he do in his early years?"
Feng Jingheng was actually very surprised that Ye Xunqing would speak up for his third brother. It was because of his petty mindset that Ye Xunqing would be dissatisfied with Feng Jingan for making the family owe so much money.
"My third brother was indeed favored when he was young. Whenever he didn't want to work, my father and mother would ask him to wait or go home directly." Feng Jingheng said: "It was precisely because he had nothing to do that he went to Liujia Village and hooked up with my third brother's wife."
Ye Xunqing didn't hate Feng Jing'an, not only because he was young, but also because he was a responsible man. After getting the woman pregnant, he didn't just walk away, but spent a lot of money to marry her.
In this era, pregnant women are worthless. Many families want their sons to get women or siblings pregnant so that they don’t have to pay so much for the bride price. If the other party is unwilling to marry, they will be thrown into the pig cage.
The Feng family is pretty good. Not only did they marry Liu Xiaojing, they also gave her so much betrothal gifts. This shows that the Feng family is responsible, but they are a little poor.
"Xiao An looks weak, but he's actually very responsible." Ye Xunqing said, "But as the pillar of the family, he can't stay like this forever. I have to find a way to help him in the future."
Feng Jingheng said: "Thank you, Qing'er, I thought you would hate them."
"How could that be?" Ye Xunqing said with a smile, "From now on, we are a family. We should not talk behind each other's backs. By the way, from now on, don't call me Qing Ge'er. Call me Ah Qing, or call me Xiao Qing like my aunt."
"Then I'll call you Ah Qing." Feng Jingheng chose the first title. "I'll call you Ah Qing, and you call me Ah Heng. It sounds very suitable."
While the two people were talking sweetly, Feng Datong was dissatisfied again. He couldn't stand the scene where his son was led by his daughter-in-law. It was okay for the third son, but why was the second son like this too?
"Boy, come with me into the house. I have something to tell you." Feng Datong called Feng Jingheng over with a stern face.
Ye Xunqing picked up Xiao Xuer and said, "You go."
Feng Jingheng followed Feng Datong into the inner room. As soon as they entered, Feng Datong whispered to him, "You're not even married yet? Why did you bring him home? And you're a man. You should establish your authority over him. How can you let him lead you around?"
Feng Jingheng was confused. "Father, what are you talking about?"
Feng Datong said anxiously: "You have to establish his authority and make him obey you. In the future, if you tell him to go east, he won't be able to go west!"
Feng Jingheng's expression suddenly turned ugly. "Why do you want to do this? Isn't Ah Qing doing a good job now? I like him very much, so I won't give him authority."
"If a daughter-in-law is not punished for three days, she will go crazy. Look at how crazy the third daughter-in-law has become." Feng Datong gets angry when he mentions his third daughter-in-law.
"That's the third brother's business. It has nothing to do with me." Feng Jingheng didn't want to waste time talking to him: "I won't hit Ah Qing. Even if he hits me, I won't fight back."
