A farmer has a shrewish wife; he's busy making money every day.

The next morning, Xiao Nan was already awake in the hut, and Zhang You was decocting medicine.

Xiao Nan clutched the blanket, trembling like a frightened rabbit: "Dad, are we really going to leave Qingshui Town?"

Zhang You sighed and patted Xiao Nan's head: "Hmm."

Xiao Nan's eyes instantly welled up with tears: "But Dad, are we not going to school next semester?"

Zhang You was also somewhat agitated, turning his face away from Xiao Nan: "It's my fault for being useless. I can't give you a stable life. It's even difficult to survive here..."

He choked up as he said this.

Xiao Nan sat up and hugged Zhang You's arm, her eyes filled with anger: "Dad, you're so amazing, everyone likes you, why can't you live here! Those two bad guys, I'll go kill them!"

Zhang You jerked violently, looking towards the door in a panic, fearing that the scarred man and the burly man would appear there.

"Shh, Xiao Nan, don't say things like that, and you mustn't do anything illegal! You're a scholar, and you'll have a longer road ahead of me. Listen to me, let's not provoke them."

At Zhang You's age, he thinks more comprehensively and has more concerns. He is not as brave as Xiao Nan, dares not cause trouble, and is even a little afraid of trouble.

If we can't afford to mess with them, we have no choice but to run.

"Xiao Nan, we have a car, so it'll be easy for us to leave. Take your medicine and rest a bit more, and we'll leave tonight." With that, she got up and started packing her things.

Xiao Nan hugged her legs dejectedly, remaining silent.

crunch.

The door to the cabin was gently pushed open.

Zhang You and Xiao Nan were instantly startled, their hearts skipping a beat.

Recalling the pain of being beaten the day before, Zhang You strode to the bedside, scooped up his son and held him in his arms, closing his eyes as if he were ready to die.

"I told you, no one is helping us, you won't get anything out of us no matter how much you beat us!"

He was so scared that he didn't dare to look at anyone.

"Old Zhang? What are you saying?"

The voice of the person who came was not a man's voice, but an old woman's voice.

Xiao Nan felt the voice was familiar, thought for a moment, and then moved in Zhang You's arms.

"Dad, it's Granny Chen from next door."

Zhang You paused for a moment, turned his head, and sure enough, saw a kind-faced woman—it was their neighbor, Granny Chen.

"Old Zhang, what are you daydreaming about?" Granny Chen asked again.

Zhang You was pulled back to his senses. "Hey, Grandma Chen, what brings you here?"

Grandma Chen used to have a good relationship with their family and would often give Xiao Nan little trinkets to eat.

Since they were targeted by bad guys, the two families have had very little contact.

Firstly, Zhang You was afraid of implicating others; secondly, it was indeed very dangerous for them, and Granny Chen's health was failing, so she dared not come.

Grandma Chen first glanced at the messy house, then sighed, and then a smile appeared on her face.

"Old Zhang, have you heard? Those two hooligans went to the county government to turn themselves in."

Zhang You didn't immediately realize who Granny Chen was talking about.

Grandma Chen saw him staring blankly again and clicked her tongue, "Those two old folks are the ones who bully you!"

Xiao Nan reacted quickly and jumped up. "Grandma Chen, are you talking about those two ugly bad guys?"

Zhang You finally realized what was happening and asked, somewhat uncertainly, "It's Scarface...really?"

Grandma Chen nodded and laughed: "Yes, it's true. Everyone in the county saw it. When they went to turn themselves in, they were covered in bruises. It was obvious they had been beaten badly."

“Some kind person must have helped you.”

Zhang You murmured, "Kind person..."

He remembered Brother Ye who had taken care of them yesterday. Weren't his words meant to comfort them?

Seeing that Zhang You's mind was wandering again, Granny Chen knew that he was not at peace and needed some time to calm down, so she didn't linger.

"Alright, I just came to let you know, I'm leaving now." Granny Chen got up and walked to the door, then turned back. "The medicine should be ready by now, remember to drink it quickly!"

After saying that, he walked out the door, trembling.

Zhang You was in a daze for a long time before Xiao Nan woke him up.

Xiao Nan grabbed Zhang You's arm and shook it, calling out, "Dad, Dad!"

"What's wrong?" Zhang You's body trembled slightly.

Xiao Nan looked excited. "Dad, we don't have to run anymore! The bad guys have been caught!"

"The bad guys have been caught..." Zhang You murmured these words, as if finally understanding their meaning, and a smile appeared on his face. "We really don't need to run anymore..."

We can survive!

If Xiao Nan hadn't been injured, she would have jumped up and run a few laps.

With a creak, the door was pushed open again.

This time, it was Ye Qingxue who came in.

Seeing Zhang You and his son, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "They're both awake?"

Ye Qingxue didn't go to help at the noodle stall today, but instead came to Zhang You's house early in the morning.

She is skilled in medicine and served as a military doctor for a period of time in her previous life, so she reflexively worries about her patients.

"Eh, yes."

When Zhang You saw Ye Qingxue, he responded twice, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Did those two bad guys turn themselves in?"

Ye Qingxue was somewhat surprised: "You already know?"

Zhang You nodded: "It's all over the county."

Ye Qingxue smiled and shrugged: "The news in Qingshui County is quite good."

Then, turning his head, he saw the medicine in the pot. "Why aren't you drinking the medicine now that it's ready?"

Then I helped them serve the medicine myself.

Xiao Nan tugged at Zhang You's sleeve from behind, "Dad, go ahead and ask."

"What do you want to ask?" Ye Qingxue asked casually without turning her head.

Xiao Nan was surprised that he could hear her whispering, and shyly hid behind Zhang You.

Zhang Youze was somewhat surprised, yet also pleasantly surprised.

With such sharp hearing, he must be a martial artist. Could it really have been Brother Ye who did that?

With a suspicion forming in his mind, Zhang You dared to ask, "So, did you do this, Brother Ye?"

Ye Qingxue had no intention of hiding it from them, and when they asked, she nodded and admitted it.

Zhang You was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while, his mouth agape.

On the contrary, Xiao Nan did much better than him, an adult, and immediately expressed her gratitude.

"Thank you, brother! You're amazing! You solved a huge problem for us! I'll definitely repay you when I make money! By the way, how did you defeat them? Tell me about it!"

Xiao Nan's eyes were bright and sparkling, which Ye Qingxue found extremely cute.

"Okay, I'll tell you when I have time. Now, take your medicine." Ye Qingxue handed the medicine to Xiao Nan.

Zhang You finally found his voice. His face turned a little red. He felt that he was really too ignorant. He was stunned for a long time over such a small thing, like a fool.

He stammered as he spoke, "Brother Ye, you really don't need to do this for us."

Ye Qingxue didn't care at all. "It was just a matter of convenience. It didn't take much effort. I don't like them anyway."

Xiao Nan was even more impressed, and while drinking her medicine, she kept her eyes fixed on Ye Qingxue.

Zhang You looked at Ye Qingxue gratefully, "In that case, we have nothing to repay you with..."

At this point, Ye Qingxue's eyes suddenly darted around a few times, and she gave him a sly smile.

"You want to repay me?"

"Ah."

"Then you can be my hired coachman!"
