"You're getting married..." the man took the initiative and said, "Congratulations."

Ye Xunqing frowned and asked, "Are you serious?"

The man paused and did not answer the question. Instead, he picked up the rake at his feet and walked towards the village.

"Awesome!" Ye Xunqing was very surprised, "Can you even carry this?"

The wooden rake was about four or five meters long, and the two main pieces of wood were large and thick, weighing at least a hundred pounds. However, the young man didn't hesitate at all and just carried the rake and walked away.

"Who is he?" Ye Xunqing asked Ye Xunbai.

Ye Xunbai has become accustomed to his brother's amnesia. His brother has used his brain to exchange for delicious food.

"That's Second Brother Heng. He used to be Dad's student and even came to our house to study with Dad for two years." Ye Xunbai said, "You told me all this. You also said that if you wanted to get married, you'd marry someone like Second Brother Heng. But Second Brother's family isn't doing well, and they don't have the money to marry you."

"Oh, it's because your ancestors were rich, right?" Ye Xunqing understood and said, "Let's go, Xiaobai, let's go back."

Ye Xunbai was very worried about being beaten when he returned, "Brother, our father will definitely beat us when we get back."

Ye Xunqing was not afraid of being beaten. He said, "Now he is planning to sell me for money, so he won't beat me up. But if Xiaobai doesn't want to go back, let's go for a walk around."

"Yeah." Ye Xunbai still didn't want to go back.

Ye Xunqing took him around the village and also learned about the situation of the village.

Yejia Village is a village that is neither poor nor rich. It is very large, with at least seventy or eighty households living there. There are many villages in this area. Six or seven miles away is another village, Wangjia Village. Further east are Lijia Village and Liujia Village.

In this village, most families have the surname Ye, but Yang Shu is an exception. His father was once a scholar, but he offended someone in town and moved to Yejia Village. The Feng family is also from outside. It is said that their ancestors were high officials in the previous dynasty, but when their family fell into poverty, they fled to the south.

In Yejia Village, people with other surnames are basically outsiders, and after years of adaptation, they have become locals.

Ye Xunqing took his younger brother for a stroll in the village. It was the season when peaches were ripe. There were not many peaches on the trees, and they were quite small, not as big and red as the peaches sold in supermarkets. However, the peaches in supermarkets were not tasty.

"Xiaobai, whose peach tree is this?" Ye Xunqing asked.

Ye Xunbai replied: "From Brother Heng's house. If you want to eat some, we can pick a few. Brother Heng won't be angry."

"Hmm..." Ye Xunqing thought about it and decided to use these peaches to make his first pot of gold. But he couldn't pick too many. People only let you pick a few to eat. If you pick them all, will they be happy?

"Pick some and try it back." Ye Xunqing said.

So the two brothers picked four or five ripe peaches.

When they returned, Ye Laosi was sitting on the doorstep picking his teeth with a thin bamboo stick. When he saw them coming back, he picked up the bench next to him and was about to hit them.

Ye Xunqing was quick-witted and quick-handed, pulling his brother to hide to the side. Ye Xunbai reacted a little slower, and although he avoided the bench, the two peaches in his hand fell to the ground, and the stones on the ground broke the peaches.

"Tao..." Ye Xunbai was heartbroken, "Brother..."

Ye Xunqing smiled and said, "What kind of Kung Fu is Father practicing?"

Ye Lao Si said with a dark face: "You still dare to come back, right?"

Ye Xunqing asked him in return, "If I don't come back, who will you marry to the old baldy? Your two good sons?"

Ye Lao Si was really furious and had no place to vent his anger. "I think you are looking for death!"

"If I really die, the old man will ask you to pay back the money. Can you pay it back?" Whatever he said, Ye Xunqing would say the same thing. "I advise you to be nice to me, otherwise if I really die, you won't be able to pay him back."

Ye Laosi was really afraid of this, so when he heard that Ye Xunqing had committed suicide by jumping into the river, he hurried back. However, Ye Xunqing was fine, which made Ye Laosi even more angry. He wanted to beat Ye Xunqing to death, but if Ye Xunqing was really beaten to death, he would not have the money to pay back Wang Sandu at the village head.

Just as I thought of Baldy, Baldy came. Baldy Wang San had just returned from working in the fields and came here because he heard that Baldy had committed suicide by jumping into the river with his unmarried wife, so he had to come here to ask for an explanation.

Before I could say anything, I saw that handsome boy standing in the yard, his little face rosy and adorable. He was just a boy, as long as he was pretty.

"Wife, why are you standing outside?" Wang Santu smiled as brightly as a flower. "Are you waiting for me?"

Ye Xunqing felt physically uncomfortable as soon as he saw this person. He could tell who this person was from his shiny forehead.

"Yes, I am waiting for you." Ye Xunqing said with a smile: "My father thinks you are too old and not suitable for me, so he wants to cancel the engagement."

Ye Lao Si suddenly stood up from the threshold, "You little bastard, what are you talking about?"

Wang Santou was also unhappy, "Father-in-law, what do you mean by this?"

Wang Sandu is two years older than Ye Laosi, and calling Ye Laosi "father-in-law" makes him feel a little embarrassed.

Chen Jinhua brought out a basin and said loudly, "Don't listen to this stupid kid's nonsense. On the sixth day of next month, just come and carry the body."

Wang Santu was happy, "My mother-in-law still speaks beautifully."

Ye Xunqing couldn't help rolling his eyes. Today was the 22nd, and it was only about ten days away from the sixth day of next month. No wonder the original owner wanted to jump into the river to commit suicide. If she didn't commit suicide, she would really be married off.

"Let's go, let's go. I haven't married into your family yet, so don't keep running here." In front of Wang Sandu, Ye Xunqing didn't say anything against it. What he had to do now was to stabilize Wang Sandu and the Ye family.

Wang Sandu looked at his beautiful young wife, and smiled so much that wrinkles appeared on his face. "Wife, I'm leaving now. I'll come to take you back next month."

Ye Xunqing pursed his lips and said nothing. Wang Sandu thought he was shy, so he didn't say much and went home directly.

When Ye Laosi saw that Ye Xunqing didn't make a fuss, he didn't say much, but just sat back on the doorstep.

Chen Jinhua was very satisfied with this. "Qing'er, that's right. You'll need to get married when you grow up. Although Wang Santu is a little ugly, his family is rich. He owns five acres of land, all good land."

"Is it so good?" Ye Xunqing narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Chen Jinhua boasted: "Yes, in addition to farming, Wang Sandu also works in the town, and he earns at least ten taels of silver a year! If you marry him, all of it will be yours."

Ye Xunqing glanced at her and said, "Since Second Mother thinks it's a good idea, why don't you marry her? Wang Sandu should be more interested in marrying a woman who can give birth to a son than marrying a man who can't raise a son, right?"
