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

"Will you blame me?" After seeing Ye Hongsheng off, Ye Xunqing and Feng Jingheng returned to their room. Ye Xunqing asked, "I said some really harsh words today..."

"I won't blame you." Feng Jingheng took his hand and said, "They have always been like this. I am their son, so I can't argue with them. But don't worry, I won't let them hurt you."

"I know what they want. They just want me to be obedient. But you know, after I fell into the water, I can't remember a lot of things. My personality has changed a lot. I'm no longer the Ye Xunqing I used to be." Ye Xunqing pretended to be sad and said, "I'm just annoying now..."

"No." Feng Jingheng said hurriedly: "I prefer the current Ah Qing. Ah Qing is brave, smart, and very powerful. The Ah Qing before was gentle, and the Ah Qing now is tough. No matter how she changes, she is still the Ah Qing I like."

Ye Xunqing felt sad. Feng Jingheng, this fool, still thought he was his Ye Xunqing. Little did he know that the poor man had already gone to Meng Po to drink soup.

"By the way, I didn't have time to ask yesterday where the gifts we received went?" Ye Xunqing asked.

Feng Jingheng apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Ah Qing, the gift money was taken away by Ah Da and Ah Niang. They paid for all the gifts before, so the return gift is also their gift. I can't get this money back, and I can't ask for it."

Ye Xunqing was just asking a question. He didn't care about the money. He had already spent more than ten taels of silver. Would he still care about the gift money?

However, this wedding did spend almost all the money they had saved. Although they tried to be frugal, they still couldn't save the money they needed.

"We're spending money like water," Ye Xunqing said with emotion. "We have to hurry and make more money before the autumn harvest."

Feng Jingheng thought so too, but they had just gotten married, and he wanted Ye Xunqing to rest for a few days.

"Not tired, not tired." Ye Xunqing said with a smile: "I just like making money. If I don't make money for a day, I will feel uncomfortable all over."

In fact, it’s not a question of whether he can make money or not. It’s that he can’t rest. He finally got a healthy body, how can he lie down every day? He had already laid down enough in his previous life. In this life, he just wants to walk around more.

"Take a break first," Feng Jingheng said. "I'll go dismantle the furnace you asked for and rebuild it."

"Yeah." Ye Xunqing nodded. "It would be best if it could be fixed tonight so we can make pancakes. Have you ever tried pastry?"

"What is that?" Feng Jingheng heard it for the first time. "A pancake made of oil?"

"No, it's scallion oil mixed with meat sauce that's added to the pancake, then rolled into a thin pancake and baked in the oven. It smells very good when baked." Ye Xunqing missed the taste of the puff pastry a little.

"Okay, I'll go fix the stove and we'll have pastry tonight," Feng Jingheng said.

In order to build the oven quickly, Feng Jingheng called over a few cousins. Together with the three brothers, they should be able to repair the oven in an afternoon.

Ye Xunqing had nothing to do, so he wrote a recipe at the table. He planned to write some simple and easy-to-make dishes to sell to Manager Xu, so that he could make money quickly.

Mo Yuyan and Ye Xunbai were also sitting at the table writing. Ye Xunbai was practicing calligraphy, and Mo Yuyan was copying a book. The boss was very satisfied with the book he copied and said that if he came again next time, he would give him twenty more cents. This made Mo Yuyan very motivated.

Ye Xunqing watched Mo Yuyan write and thought to himself that he was worthy of being from a wealthy family. Not only did he write beautifully, but he also wrote quickly, like an ancient version of a human printing press.

"Second sister-in-law..." Liu Xiaojing stood in front of the door holding the child, half of her body exposed. "What are you writing? Can I read it?"

Ye Xunqing waved for her to come in, "There's a chair available, you can sit down and watch."

Liu Xiaojing was illiterate. In that era, very few women were allowed to read. Only wealthy families would let their daughters learn a few words, but that was all they could do.

But there are exceptions, like the father of Yang Shu and Yang Qin. He loved his children very much. Even though one of his children was a boy and the other was a girl, he did not show favoritism and taught both of them to read. However, he died too early, and only the elder brother inherited his mantle. Unfortunately, Yang Shu also died too early.

"Xiao Xu'er, come here and let uncle hug you." Ye Xunqing still liked Feng Xu very much and would hold him and play with him whenever he had time.

Liu Xiaojing felt relieved. She handed the child to Ye Xunqing, and then thought about what happened in the morning. "Second sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I didn't speak up for you this morning..." She didn't know what to say. If she did, she would be the one to be scolded.

Ye Xunqing shook his head. "No, you can't say that. If you say it, you and Xiao An will have trouble living in peace. I don't care. They don't dare to hit me."

Liu Xiaojing thought of what Ye Xunqing said that morning and suddenly smiled. "Actually, it's a tradition to set rules for new daughters-in-law. I had this when I came home, but I can't cook, so Xiao An cooked with me. The food we both cooked was awful, so my father-in-law stopped us from cooking after that. It wasn't because he felt bad for us cooking, but because he felt bad for his own stomach."

"I know." Ye Xunqing's mind was as clear as a mirror. "The authority of the feudal patriarch cannot be challenged. I know it very well."

"What do you mean by meeting the head of the family?" Liu Xiaojing didn't understand.

Ye Xunqing changed the subject, "Oh, nothing, I mean they wanted to establish their authority over me, but I just didn't listen."

Liu Xiaojing said with some admiration: "Second sister-in-law, you are the most amazing new daughter-in-law I have ever seen. Really, you are amazing!"

Ye Xunqing said helplessly: "Is it because I was disobedient?"

"No, no." Liu Xiao's camera shook like a rattle. "What I want to say is that you are very brave. You dare to go against them. I didn't dare. When I came home, my in-laws also set rules for me. They made me wash clothes and dishes for a long time. In the middle of winter, they insisted that I go to the river to wash clothes. I refused and rolled around in the yard. They whipped me, and Xiao An hugged me and we cried together. Then they didn't let me go anymore."

Ye Xunqing didn't like washing clothes or dishes either. He usually shared the work, as it was the only way to avoid being so tired. Besides, wet clothes were very heavy, and the stream where they washed clothes was far away. Carrying a basket of wet clothes back home was exhausting, so Ye Xunqing usually took his two younger brothers with him to wash clothes, and they would all carry baskets when they returned, so no one would come back empty-handed.

"You can't let one person wash the clothes all the time. It will be annoying." Ye Xunqing said.

Liu Xiaojing complained, "It's like we were born to do the laundry and cooking, and men don't have to do so much work. They're all like uncles. But Xiao An is not like that. He treats me well. He used to join me when I washed clothes and dishes."

Apart from anything else, Feng Jing'an is extremely good to his wife and children. There are few people like him in the surrounding villages.
