Ye Xunqing went for Ye Dayong's face, leaving a bloody mark on his face with the cane. Ye Dayong was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had hit himself.

Could Ye Dayong endure this? He rushed to Ye Xunqing, grabbed the cane, and angrily said, "Ye Xunqing, I think you've gotten too bold. You even dared to hit me!"

Ye Xunqing's strength was not as good as Ye Dayong's. The key to his victory was his skills. But now that Ye Dayong had the whip, it was difficult for him to win. But it didn't matter. He was not the only one here.

Feng Jingheng pressed the end of the stick in his hand against Ye Dayong's neck and said, "Let go of your hands, or I will pierce your neck with this stick."

Ye Dayong was afraid of Feng Jingheng, but he was right in this matter, so he bit the bullet and shouted at Feng Jingheng: "Feng Jingheng, this is our family affair. You are an outsider, don't come here to meddle!"

Feng Jingheng only had one sentence: "I won't let you hurt Ah Qing."

Ye Xunqing felt a bit like a fox taking advantage of the tiger's power. He pulled out the cane that Ye Dayong had grabbed, and then gently slapped her face twice. "Third brother, I told you a long time ago not to be so irritable and not to yell at me, but you just wouldn't listen. Since you don't want to listen, then I have to use some methods to help you listen."

"Ye Xunqing, you're a coward who relies on others for power! If Feng Jingheng isn't around one day, I'll kill you!" Ye Dayong cursed, "I'll chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs!"

Ye Xunqing was not angry after hearing this. He took the hatchet in his hand and said, "Since you said so, in order to make me less threatening, I have to send you to see the King of Hell."

Seeing that the hatchet was about to cut his neck, Ye Dayong shouted: "Ye Xunqing, you can't... you can't kill me. Killing someone means paying with your life!"

"Oh, then I won't kill you." Ye Xunqing pointed the blade at his arm and said, "I'll chop off one of your arms. I want to do this so that you won't have a chance to settle accounts with me in the future."

Ye Dayong took a few steps back, but Feng Jingheng reacted faster. He pushed Ye Dayong against the wall with a stick. A large piece of skin on Ye Dayong's neck was sunken and his face turned red.

"If you dare to kill my brother, I will fight you to the death!" Ye Eryong picked up the broom in the yard and hit Ye Xunqing.

However, Ye Eryong's fighting ability was much weaker than his brother's. He was younger and not even as tall as Ye Xunqing, so he was no match for Ye Xunqing. Ye Xunqing whipped him with a few canes and made him scream in the yard, hiding while screaming, looking very embarrassed.

Ye Xunqing asked one last time: "Ye Laosi, why don't you pay me back? If you don't, I will cut off your son's arm."

Chen Jinhua cursed, "You traitorous beast! How have we ever wronged you?"

Ye Xunqing swung another cane at Ye Eryong, hitting his leg and knocking him to the ground.

"I've told you before, if you dare to curse me, I'll whip your son with a cane." Ye Xunqing's eyes were cold. "You can curse as much as you want, and let's see who enjoys cursing or beating your son."

Chen Jinhua hated Ye Xunqing, but her two sons were in their hands, so she didn't dare to scold him easily.

Seeing that Chen Jinhua was silent, Ye Xunqing said, "If you want me to release your son, that's fine. But ask Ye Laosi to pay the money, or I'll cut off one of your son's arms to pay off the debt."

Chen Jinhua's back teeth were almost broken as she angrily said, "His father, please take out the money and return it to him. Can't you see that he only wants our son to die?"

While Ye Laosi was howling that he had raised a beast, he reluctantly took out the copper coins on his body. Ye Xunqing didn't even count the money to see if it was enough, and just took it and stuffed it into his purse.

"Very good, that's the end of it." Ye Xunqing said, "If you dare to steal my things again, or curse me behind my back, I will make sure you pay."

Feng Jingheng also let go of Ye Dayong, and Ye Dayong immediately sat down on the ground. He seemed to have just been to the gates of hell.

Chen Jinhua immediately ran to Ye Dayong and cried, "What sin have we committed?"

Ye Xunqing laughed and said, "Haven't you done enough evil? Chen Jinhua, those people you killed will come looking for you in the middle of the night. They say the midnight hour is very gloomy. I wonder if ghosts will come looking for you tonight to claim your lives."

Apart from anything else, if there really is a ghost seeking revenge, then Ye Xunqing most hopes that the poor original owner who died by jumping into the water will come back to seek revenge on them.

When Chen Jinhua heard this, her crying became softer. She didn't dare to look at Ye Xunqing, because Ye Xunqing looked most like his dead father. The older he got, the more similar he looked. Sometimes she was a little confused. After jumping into the river, was it the original Ye Xunqing who came back, or the dead Yang Shu?

However, she was destined not to guess Ye Xunqing's true identity. He was not the original Ye Xunqing, nor was he Yang Shu. He was a soul from another world.

After being delayed by them, it was already dark. Ye Xunqing had no mood to cook, so he simply asked Mo Yuyan and Xiaobai to take out the snacks and eat them, and just make do with the meal.

The three brothers were enjoying themselves while eating snacks and drinking water.

Mo Yuyan gestured and asked, "Are you hurt?"

Ye Xunqing smiled and said, "No, how could I let myself get hurt? Besides, Ah Heng is here, he won't let me get hurt."

Mo Yuyan frowned and gestured, "Do you trust him so much? What if one day he treats you badly?"

Ye Xunqing looked at Mo Yuyan, guessing that he was thinking about the time he was sold, and said, "There are good men in this world. Brother Jinghua, Jing'an, and Ah Heng are all good people. I believe in them. There are also older people. The village chief is very good. I have never seen him lose his temper with Aunt Qiumei or his children."

"I know your worries. You're afraid that one day Ah Heng won't like me anymore, or that he'll want to take another wife like Ye Lao Si did." Ye Xunqing smiled and said, "Xiao Yan, I'll teach you a lesson. You can't rely on others in this world. You have to live on your own. If one day Ah Heng falls in love with someone else, I will withdraw without hesitation. Never try to win back a man who doesn't love you, understand?"

Mo Yuyan only had a vague understanding, but he nodded anyway.

Ye Xunqing continued, "When your hands get better, help me with the work. If you can't do anything else, you can always copy books."

After hearing about copying books, Mo Yuyan nodded quickly, "Ah ah..."

Ye Xunqing told him not to worry, "No hurry, I haven't taken on the copying job for you yet."

Ye Xunqing planned to find some copying work for Mo Yuyan, and to copy an extra copy for her. The best way to change one's destiny was to study. Xiaobai needed to study, and so did Xiao Axu. Ye Xunqing couldn't let his children stay in the small mountain village for their entire lives. They had to go out and see the world, and to go out, they had to learn to read.
