Da Mi's house was some distance away from Ye Laosi's house, so Ye Xunqing treated it as a walk after dinner. They walked slowly in the village.

After dinner, many families would go under the tree to enjoy the cool air and chat about family matters. In fact, they were just gossiping, talking about things like catching an adulterer, cheating, family discord, and neighborhood conflicts. Ye Xunqing had no interest in listening, so he never went under the tree to chat with them at night.

"Qing'er, Qing'er..." Ye Xiyun came over from the side road with his sister and called out to him, "Where are you going so late?"

Ye Xunqing replied: "I'm sending rice and millet home, and also giving something to my aunt. What about you guys?"

Ye Xiyun replied: "My mother asked Lan'er and me to go and ask my father to come back for dinner."

Ye Xunqing asked, "It's so late, is Uncle Hongsheng still busy?"

Ye Xiyun said not very happily: "It's still about Chun Ge'er's family. That Jin Mazi is not stable at all. He causes trouble every other day."

Ye Xunqing didn't comment, "Oh, then go find him."

"Let's go together." Ye Xiyun smelled the fragrance, "Qing'er, what's that smell on you? It smells so good!"

Ye Xunqing guessed it was the smell of spareribs, so he said, "I had spareribs tonight."

Ye Xiyun didn't care for the ribs, after all, they had no meat, but he felt that the ribs made by Ye Xunqing must be different. "Are the ribs delicious?"

The one who answered him was Ye Xunbai, "It's very delicious."

Ye Xiyun looked down at him and saw that he was still holding the bowl. "Xiaobai, what's in your bowl?" After saying that, he leaned closer to ask.

"Pork rib soup for my aunt." Ye Xunbai opened it and showed it to him.

Ye Xiyun wanted to eat, but he was too embarrassed to ask. He cleared his throat and said, "Qing'er, we have been good friends for so many years. Next time you have something delicious, don't forget me." Then he added, "I can pay."

Ye Xunqing wanted to make friends with Ye Xiyun. After all, he was the son of the village chief, and they had a good relationship.

"Xiao Yan, give them a bag of fried dough sticks." Ye Xunqing ordered.

Mo Yuyan picked out one from the three paper bags and gave it to Ye Xiyun.

Ye Xiyun politely reached for the copper coins, but Ye Xunqing refused. "You're my friend. Do you really need this between friends?"

Ye Xiyun thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then if you need my help in the future, just let me know."

Although Ye Xunqing does not need Ye Xiyun's help, he needs Ye Hongsheng as his backer and a good relationship with the village chief's son, so that he can rule the village in the future.

Just kidding, he didn't mean to be domineering.

After walking for a while, Ye Xiyun and his sister went to Ye Zongchun's house, while Ye Xunqing and the others continued to walk towards Xiao Mi and Da Mi's house.

Ye Xunqing felt that his aunt was very generous. It was already dark, and she didn't even look for the child?

When he arrived at their house, he found out that it was not that his aunt didn't want to look for the child, but that she couldn't come.

"Tell me, where did the money from selling cloth a few days ago go?" a woman shouted with full energy.

Then a weak voice replied: "Mother, I have already told you that the money is used to buy rice."

"Nonsense, I think it's given to your parents." The woman insisted.

"I really didn't..."

Then came the sound of beating.

After hearing this, Da Mi immediately rushed in to save his father, and Ye Xunqing also went in carrying the child.

The moon was out and there were no clouds, so it was quite bright at night. The moonlight shone on the yard, and the whole yard was visible at a glance.

A middle-aged woman was beating someone with a broom, cursing as she did so: "You ungrateful bitch, I told you to steal money to support your parents, I told you to steal money."

The guy who was beaten was actually quite young, looking less than 30 years old, but he was very thin and looked like he would fall down if the wind blew.

"Don't hit my dad!" Da Mi rushed over and pushed his grandmother away, protecting his father behind him, "Don't hit my dad!"

The woman didn't notice and was actually bumped into by the boy. "You bastard, you have no respect for your elders. Are you going to bump into my grandma too?"

Ye Xunqing walked over with Xiaomi in his arms and asked, "Is your grandmother practicing martial arts so late at night?"

Ye Laosi’s grandfather and Dami’s grandfather are brothers. Dami’s grandfather is the youngest, so the children of his lineage are all younger in age and older in generation.

Ye Xunqing looked at this woman who was about the same age as Chen Jinhua and couldn't believe that she was already a grandmother.

"What are you doing here, you son of the Fourth Family?" Wang Jingui gave them a cold look. "Xiaomi, you little bitch, what are you doing in his arms? Do you have any shame?"

Ye Xunqing put Xiaomi down, and Xiaomi went to see her father, ignoring her grandmother completely.

"Qing'er, thank you for bringing back the rice and millet." Liu Laiyan said slowly, "It's too late. You should go back first."

Ye Xunqing did not move. He said, "I came to ask my aunt for help."

Liu Laiyan nodded and said, "Okay, then come back tomorrow."

"What are you doing here?" Wang Jingui jumped up and shouted, "You help everyone who asks you for help? You're his servant, right? And you, Ye Xunqing, you unruly boy, don't come to my house. It's bad luck!"

Ye Xunqing knew how to deal with people who liked to shout. He simply ignored Wang Jingui and only spoke to Liu Laiyan: "Aunt, I want to make a few pairs of autumn shoes. Do you think it's possible for you to do it?"

"Sure." Liu Laiyan agreed. "Pull some cloth over and I'll make it for you and Bai Ge'er."

Wang Jingui was immediately displeased. She raised her hand to hit her daughter-in-law, "Idiot, what good is it for you to make shoes for him? How many shoes did you make for his damn father in the past? Did they help? Your son still hasn't learned a single word."

Liu Laiyan frowned and said, "Mom, I've said it many times. I make shoes for Mr. Yang, not because I want Dami to study with him!" He spoke anxiously and coughed a few times.

Ye Xunqing felt that they were too noisy, so he said, "Xiao Yan, bring your wallet here." He didn't dare to leave money at home anymore. He was afraid of robbery and theft.

When Wang Jingui heard the word "money", his ears pricked up.

Mo Yuyan gave him the money. After Ye Xunqing received the purse, he asked, "Aunt, I want to make a pair of cloth shoes for Xiaobai. If I buy the cloth from you, how much will it cost for a pair of shoes?"

"About eighteen cents." Liu Laiyan replied.

"It's cheaper than on the street." Ye Xunqing counted out eighteen copper coins and said, "Make a pair for Xiaobai. I'll pick it up when it's done."

Wang Jingui was blinded by the money and immediately went to grab it. Ye Xunqing said, "This money is not for you. It's for making shoes for my aunt."

Wang Jingui said, "I manage the money in my family, so the money is given to me."

Liu Laiyan said tiredly: "Give it to mother!"

Ye Xunqing didn't give them directly, but said: "Rice and millet are in their growth period, they need to eat more good food. You don't have money, how can you buy food for them?"

Liu Laiyan had a complicated expression, "I cough, cough, cough, cough..." He covered his mouth and coughed.

Mo Yuyan walked forward to feel his pulse, then said to Ye Xunqing, "You caught a cold and haven't recovered yet... You've been ill from overwork... You need to rest..."
