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

"You are talking nonsense. We saw you selling things on the street during the last market. You put every copper coin into your purse, and you still say the money is not yours?" said a villager from Liujia Village who was beaten.

Ye Xunqing's face wasn't looking good. He said calmly, "If you're blind, you should go get your eyes treated by the quack doctor in town. I was selling things at the time, but Ah Heng was there too, didn't you see? And someone saw us fishing that day. It was Ah Heng who caught the fish. We were just fishing on the shore, right, Liu Wangcheng?"

Liu Wangcheng opened and closed his mouth, then opened and closed it again, and finally said, "Yes, it was Feng Jingheng who went to the river to catch fish."

In the end, it was Feng Jingheng who released him that day. When he returned to the village, the villagers saw him covered in injuries and asked him what happened. He just said that he accidentally fell. If he was exposed now, his reputation would be ruined.

Although there is none at all.

"Heng caught the fish and cleaned it. I was just in charge of frying it. I didn't do much work at all." Ye Xunqing said, "And you searched my room, but you didn't find much money. That's because the money wasn't mine. It all belonged to Heng. He left a few copper coins with me just for emergency use."

After saying that, Ye Xunqing gave Feng Jingheng a wink.

Feng Jingheng immediately responded with a very unfriendly tone, "Give me back the money and food, or I will be rude."

The shorter man said, "You've already started!"

Feng Jingheng raised the carrying pole and threatened: "If you don't return the things to me, I will kill you right now."

Liu Yuhu said angrily, "How dare you? Do you dare to act wildly in my Liujia Village?"

"You stole my things. Even if you go to the county magistrate, I won't let you go!" Feng Jingheng slammed the carrying pole into the ground, half a foot deep.

It hadn't rained for a while, and the village roads were so dry that they couldn't be shoveled, but Feng Jingheng easily poked the thick-headed carrying pole in, which shows how strong he is.

Liu Yuhu's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. If that had hit someone, they'd have at least broken a few ribs. He'd heard the second son of the Feng family was incredibly strong, but he'd only done manual labor like plowing and carrying bags, which didn't reflect his strength. Seeing him today, he realized he was indeed not someone to be trifled with.

"Feng family boy, since you're engaged to the Ye family, you're their son-in-law. Don't be angry if we use your things to pay off your debts. It's your fault that you have a gambling father-in-law." Liu Yuhu spoke more politely. "It's getting late, you should go back. Tell Ye Lao Si to get the money as soon as possible."

Ye Xunqing ignored him and walked straight towards Liu Wangcheng, pointing the whip at him, "Give me the money."

Liu Wangcheng held his wallet in his hand and said nothing.

Ye Xunqing glanced at his belly, then squatted down to grab the money. Liu Wangcheng was not paying attention and his wallet was really snatched away by him.

No one expected that Ye Xunqing would touch Liu Wangcheng's wallet. After all, boys should avoid suspicion with men, and Ye Xunqing's future husband is also here. How could he ignore Feng Jingheng's face?

Feng Jingheng said nothing about this, his expression remained the same as before.

After seeing this, Liu Yuhu smiled and said, "Everyone says that the second son of the Feng family is powerful, but unexpectedly he is henpecked."

Ye Xunqing was confused and asked, "Why do you think so?"

Liu Yuhu looked at Feng Jingheng, then at Ye Xunqing, and said, "My future wife is touching another man's body in front of me, and as a man, I remain motionless. If this isn't henpecked, what is it?"

After hearing what he said, Feng Jingheng finally realized, "Are you talking about me?"

Liu Yuhu asked, "Is there anyone else?"

Feng Jingheng didn't understand, "Ah Qing, what is he talking about? Am I henpecked?"

Ye Xunqing was very smart and had already heard what Liu Yuhu was saying, so he said to Feng Jingheng, "He is accusing me of touching other men in front of you and saying that I am not a good wife."

Feng Jingheng looked confused, "Have you touched other men?"

Ye Xunqing smiled, "No, I just took the purse. No one likes to touch you more than you do. I like to touch you more."

This sentence made everyone present, young and old, men and women, blush. Such lewd words were actually said in front of so many people. It was really shameless.

Liu Yuhu's face also looked very ugly. He didn't expect that Feng Jingheng was not only henpecked, but also a fool. He seemed not to notice that his wife was flirting with other men.

After Ye Xunqing took the money, he picked up the rice and flour on the ground and said to Feng Jingheng, "Ah Heng, take the rest back."

Feng Jingheng immediately carried the remaining rice, flour, sugar and oil.

Ye Xunqing turned around and said with a smile: "Thank you for carrying it all the way. Now you don't have to send it back. We can take it back ourselves."

Liu Yuhu immediately ordered someone to stop them, "Leave the things behind!"

Ye Xunqing's expression changed and the smile on his face disappeared instantly. He held the bag of rice and flour in one hand, and the whip in his hand crackled.

"They say Liujia Village is famous for its educated people, but I think it's just a village of bandits. Everyone in the village is a bunch of bandits!" Ye Xunqing shouted, "Gambling is something that gentlemen should be ashamed of, but Liujia Village doesn't consider it shameful. Instead, they take pride in gambling, which is a disgrace to scholars. And now, if they can't get the gambling money, they rob people, and if they can't rob them, they beat people up. Is this what scholars should do? In the future, Village Chief Liu won't have to work so hard to get teachers to teach. He should just take the villagers to the mountains to bandit. They'll rob faster that way."

Liu Yuhu's face was a mixture of pale and blue, an unpleasant sight. Of Liujia Village, Yejia Village, and Wangjia Village, his village had the most educated people. Because they had two scholars, they called themselves "Scholar Village." Now, being pointed at and called a bandit, he didn't look happy either.

Seeing his unhappy expression, Ye Xunqing knew he was right, so he continued, "When my father was alive, he often said that a gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way. You all call yourselves scholars, how can you get money in an unrighteous way?"

"Xunqing studied with my father for a few years when he was young, so he knows a little bit about the way of a gentleman. If Village Chief Liu wants to listen, I can explain it to you." Ye Xunqing asked with a smile: "Village Chief Liu, do you want the two of us to stay and teach you?"

Liu Yuhu wanted to slap him and hang him on a tree, telling him to stay where it was cool. A young man wanted to preach to them, but he really didn't know his place.

"Get lost!" Liu Yuhu swung his sleeves, "Don't let me see you again."

Ye Xunqing was in no hurry to leave. After he took a few steps, he grabbed Feng Jingheng. The two of them put down their belongings, clasped their hands together, and performed a gentlemanly ceremony to Liu Yuhu and the others. After the ceremony, they left with the belongings.

Even from a distance, Ye Xunqing could still hear Liu Yuhu cursing. He didn't know what he was cursing, but it was definitely something disrespectful.
