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

"Whether you're a loser or not isn't determined by who you follow around every day, but by whether you can feed your family well and keep them well-fed!" Ye Xunqing continued, "What books has your child read? What words has he learned? Does he have meat every meal?"

"My child Xiaobai could write his own name at the age of five. Can your child write his own name at the age of five?" Ye Xunqing picked on their sore spot and said, "He can't read a single word, can't eat enough or wear enough, and yet he comes to accuse me of not following the rules and calling Ah Heng a loser. He has no shame at all."

"I'm telling you, just because I eat meat every day and I can read, I'm better than you!" Ye Xunqing roared, "If you have the guts, call everyone in the village over here and let's have a debate in front of everyone. Who's more pathetic: not having money to eat meat and no books to read, or eating meat every day and reading every day?"

Ye Xunqing was criticized for being a boy who showed off and made his future husband run around in circles. While those people scolded him, they were secretly filled with jealousy.

"You, you..." Hu Xiangyue said "you" for a long time before finally saying, "What's the point of studying? You're just a boy, and you can't even take the imperial examination after reading so many books."

"Men study to pass the imperial examinations and become high-ranking officials, but just ask around. How many officials are there in this area? Forget about being an official. Even in these three villages, there are barely three scholars." Ye Xunqing said, "Illiterate people are tricked into signing an indenture to sell themselves, yet they happily help count the money. Forget about anything else. Do you recognize the words on this copper plate?"

Hu Xiangyue didn't say anything. She only knew that it was money. How could she know what was written on the money?

"That's enough!" Ye Hongxia was furious. She pointed at Ye Xunqing and said, "Get out of here! You are not welcome in our house!"

"You're mean to me!" Ye Xunqing suddenly curled her lips, hugged Feng Jingheng and started crying, "How have I ever wronged your family that you're so mean to me? Or are you being mean to me for outsiders? I...I'll never come here again. I won't marry into your family. I'll give you back the eight taels of silver. I'm too embarrassed to see anyone anyway. I might as well take Xiaobai and jump into the river again..."

When Feng Jingheng heard that Ye Xunqing wanted to cancel the engagement and even jump into the river, the resentment that had been accumulating in his heart for many years suddenly came out.

"What does mother want to do? You were not like this before. Didn't you say before that you liked Aqing very much? You didn't go to the matchmaker because your family had no money to give to Ye Laosi. Now Aqing and I are about to get married, and mother is driving Aqing away. Okay, let's go, we leave now and never come back!" Feng Jingheng's eyes were red.

"This is outrageous!" Ye Hongxia sat on the ground and cried, "My son, the son I raised for so many years, actually left his mother for a daughter-in-law who hasn't even married yet! My life is so miserable!"

"I've said it before, this family should be divided!" Feng Jinghua returned the copper coins he had taken to Ye Xunqing, and then said to Ye Hongxia: "The third child has started a family, and the second child is also going to start a family. It's time to divide the family!"

Ye Hongxia was dumbfounded, "Boss, are you kidding?"

Feng Jinghua had never been so determined as he was now. "Mom, let's ask the village chief to come over tomorrow to divide the family property! I've had enough of this kind of life!"

After saying this, he went into the house, not only closing the door with a deafening bang, but also bolting it from the inside.

"Brother, you haven't eaten yet..." Feng Jing'an carried the child and knocked on the door, but Feng Jinghua ignored him.

Liu Xiaojing looked at the copper coins in his hand, then looked at the people in the yard, then dusted himself off and stood up.

"Brother, this is your money..." Although Liu Xiaojing was reluctant to part with the money, it was not theirs and they could not snatch it away. "I also picked up the money on the ground. I don't know if there is any missing."

Hu Xiangyue's eyes were always following the money. She was thinking of picking up a few during the chaos, but she didn't expect that the idiot Liu Xiaojing picked them all up and gave them back to Ye Xunqing and the others.

Feng Jingheng accepted the money and said, "Thank you very much."

Liu Xiaojing pursed his lips and said, "Deep down, I don't want to split up the family. Xiao An doesn't have much ability, and everything he eats and drinks comes from the family. But my eldest and second brothers are determined to split up the family, and we can't stop them."

Feng Jingheng said: "If the family really splits up, let Xiao An fight for it in the future."

Liu Xiaojing muttered, "Do you think I don't want to?"

Ye Xunqing wiped her tears and said, "Ah Heng, I'm sorry, I made things difficult for you. Let's just leave it at home. I...I'll leave first..."

Feng Jingheng refused to let him leave. "No, Ah Qing, if we're leaving, let's leave together! Even if we have to sleep in a shed or a pigpen, I won't leave you!"

If it wasn't for the wrong timing, Ye Xunqing would have wanted to laugh. It seemed like he had overacted a bit.

He wanted to try out the legendary mother-in-law and daughter-in-law battle stunt - first cry, then make a fuss, and then hang himself, but he changed the order, first make a fuss, then cry, and then jump into the river. But before the performance was over, he won.

To be honest, he didn't want to have any conflicts with Feng Jingheng's family. No matter whether it was the rules set by Feng Datong or Ye Hongxia deliberately picking on him, he would endure it if he could. After all, Feng Jingheng was their son, and they would still have to interact in the future.

He just didn't expect Ye Hongxia to team up with outsiders to cause trouble for him. The more this turtle retreats its head into its shell, the more people want to poke its head out with a stick, but if you poke it too hard, do you think it will bite you?

Even a turtle knows to bite when it is cornered, let alone a human?

"Why are you leaving?" Feng Jinghua pushed open the window and said, "You had a share when the house was built. Even if the family splits up, you can still live in this house."

"Brother, are you having dinner?" Feng Jing'an asked again as he moved closer to the window.

Feng Jinghua said directly: "If you don't want to eat, go away."

Feng Jing'an left in disappointment, holding Xiao Xuer in his arms.

"I'm here to join this family, not to destroy it." Ye Xunqing sobbed, "If I marry Ah Heng, he will be branded as unfilial. Then I'd rather marry Wang Santouzi!"

Ye Xunqing prayed in his heart: Bodhisattva, please don’t mind my words. I would rather jump into the river again than spend my whole life with an ugly ghost.

"You... you think you're still popular?" Hu Xiangyue said disdainfully, "A guy with a ruined reputation, there's no way anyone would want you."

"Get out!" Feng Jingheng stared at Hu Xiangyue. "It's none of your business to interfere in my family's affairs!"

"Heng Er, why are you talking like that?" Hu Xiangyue said, "I'm on your side. If you really marry this rag-too-good-to-be..."

Feng Jingheng let go of Ye Xunqing, picked up the bench on the ground and threw it at Hu Xiangyue, "Get out, or I'll smash your mouth!"

Hu Xiangyue was stunned, "You..."

Seeing that she didn't leave, Feng Jingheng went straight to the wall to get a broom. Without saying a word, he started sweeping at Hu Xiangyue's feet, and while sweeping, he used the broom bristle to hit the protruding bone next to her ankle hard.
