The box was filled with a complete set of children's jewelry, gold bracelets, gold necklaces, gold chains, and strings of gold ornaments...

There were seven or eight pairs in total, and they were... solid!

All in all, it would probably take twenty taels of gold to make it.

"Young Master Ye, we can't accept this! It's far too precious!" Elder Li was the first to politely refuse.

"Yes, Young Master Ye, you saved our entire family's lives. We are grateful beyond words and couldn't possibly accept any more of your gifts."

"Yes, Young Master Ye, Fu Niao is still young and doesn't deserve such an expensive gift."

The entire Li family also declined one after another, and each person was sincere.

Seeing this, Zhang the Divine Doctor also liked the Li family's sincerity and spoke kindly to advise them.

"Take this kid, you guys. He doesn't lack silver! This is just a drop in the bucket!"

Young Master Ye smiled and nodded, reaching out to embrace Jia Yin.

Jia Yin is dressed head-to-toe in red today, like a festive red envelope, extremely adorable.

That's when she drooled from the corner of her mouth, her eyes constantly glancing at the box, exposing her greed a bit too obviously...

Young Master Ye was amused, and she wiped the drool from his mouth, saying.

I get along really well with this child, and I recovered so quickly. Maybe it's all thanks to this child's good fortune. This is both a gift of congratulations and a thank you gift.

He said that, the Li family could not refuse any longer and quickly let Jia Yin express her gratitude.

Jia Yin was so excited that she went crazy, hugging Ye Gongzi and kissing him again and again, leaving a face full of drool.

Everybody laughed and chatted during the meal, not finishing until the sun had set.

When Li Lao finished her errands outside and entered the room, she saw her granddaughter hugging a box and lying on the kang, her little feet kicking excitedly. It really made her both angry and amused.

She stepped forward and patted her granddaughter's bottom lightly, asking in a hushed tone.

"Do you have something to say to Grandma Is it true that you helped cure Ye Gongzi's illness"

Jia Yin giggled, pretending not to understand, and pushed the box towards her grandmother.

Li Laotai angrily pinched her cheeks, “You little girl, you’re getting bolder and bolder. Be careful someone catches you and mistakes you for a demon!”

Jia Yin's sweet voice called out, "Mama!"

Even with all her worries and anger, Li Lao Tai's heart was melted by this single word.

She hugged her granddaughter and sighed, "Our life is so much better these days. You should grow up well and not show off your skills too much. Don't worry Grandma."

Jia Yin nodded quickly, and Old Madam Li shoved the box into her hands. "Keep it yourself, don't lose it."

Jiayin chuckled and with a flip of her hand, the item disappeared. She was afraid Grandma might change her mind...

When I entertained guests during the day, my family members, young and old, got a little tired. We slept soundly at night.

Later in the night, a sudden gong sound echoed from behind the house.

This is the signal the villagers agreed upon, someone has stolen food!

Everyone carried wooden sticks and ran towards the field, momentarily illuminating the previously quiet expanse with torches.

Uncle Zhao had blood on his temple, haphazardly pressing with his jacket, his foot trampling on someone underneath.

The village head beside him was also in a sorry state, his clothes torn and he was twisting the arm of someone.

In the distance, there were two women lying in a ditch, their baskets overturned and spilling out a number of sorghum stalks.

Seeing Li's family and the villagers arrive, the village head let out a sigh of relief and shouted to everyone.

"Come and see, which bastard had the guts to steal our food! He even dared to attack us when we caught him!"

"That's right," Uncle Zhao said, his face pale from the pain. "Luckily I dodged quickly, or else I would have been finished today!"

Li Laosi stepped forward, pulled the person under Zhao Shu's feet aside, and when the crowd brought the torches closer, they all looked unhappy.

"Liu Tiezhu!"

Li Laosi quickly pulled open another one. Needless to say, it was Liu Lai Fu!

The two women being dragged over by the enraged Tao Hongying and the village women were Guo Shi and Su Niang!

The village head was furious. He had been preparing for days against outsiders, but in the end, he caught his own villager!

"Take it back and tell me later!"

The crowd dragged the Liu family of four away, they were only knocked unconscious. They woke up on the way but dared not make a sound.

Li's courtyard was brightly lit, with almost the entire village gathered there.

"This family is a curse! They went into the city, didn't they When are they coming back And even if they did come back, they have the audacity to think of stealing our crops!"

"What a cunning plan, using no effort while still successfully stealing grain and running away quickly."

Guo saw that she couldn't escape, so she started acting coquettishly again.

"Oh, Liu Gen'er, come back quickly and see for yourself! Big Sister and her family are determined to drive us orphans and widows to our deaths! We can't even bear the hunger anymore; we just wanted to cut a few stalks of sorghum in the field, and they threatened to beat and kill us!"

Su Niang also chimed in, crying along with them.

"Mother, it would be better for us to jump into the clear water river first than to starve to death!"

Lao Li was so angry her face turned green. Though she wouldn't admit it, they were her in-laws after all.

The result is so appalling, it makes me want to spit blood!

Liu Gen'er really is a ghost, she wants to ask, how did this daughter-in-law and child manage!

Old Li is so annoying, this whole family. They don't know they're wrong and are still being shameless.

He stepped forward, his fist raised high, and beat Liu Tiezhu and Liu Laifu until they screamed in pain.

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru, along with the other women in the village, slapped Guo Shi and Su Niang hard.

The Liu family of four cried and wailed, looking as if they were about to be beaten to death.

In the dark, this cry echoed far and wide, frightening Chunhong who was out enjoying the breeze, causing her to rush home and embrace her two children, almost diving into the kang's hole.

The village head, unwilling to cause a death, discussed the matter with Old Li for a few sentences.

He then stopped the crowd, “Forget it, don’t fight anymore, just give them a lesson.”

The Liu family was all over in pain, thinking to themselves that this punishment was enough. There was still a hint of relief in their eyes.

"Therefore, during such times, the village should be united and work together to find a way out. But traitors like Liu's family cannot be kept."

"Get rid of them first thing tomorrow morning, and afterwards keep an eye on them all. Don't let them take advantage of the situation."

"No, we can't be driven out! Our house and land are all here. If we go, how will we survive!"

But the villagers didn't care about any of that, they just pulled them out.

"Didn't you all go into the city before Didn't you live well Just go back there this time. Live wherever you want, just don't cause trouble in the village."

"Yes, if you dare come back, I'll break your legs!"

Everyone knows that it's impossible to really drive the Liu family away forever.

They were just waiting for the villagers to finish harvesting their grain, and then they would be willing to return. They didn't stop them at that point.

But the Liu family didn't know, crying as if the sky was falling.

That night, the whole village was in an uproar, with chickens flying and dogs barking. No one slept soundly anymore.

When dawn broke, the households became even more impatient, their eyes glued to the Liu family being driven out.

All members of the Li family sat down at the breakfast table, each with dark circles under their eyes.

"It's better to harvest early, the sooner it's back in the barn the less worry." Li Laotai sighed.

Everyone nodded in agreement, afraid of angering the old lady further.

Jia Yin scooped up some egg custard and brought it to grandma's lips, hoping to cheer her up.

But then, Kazayama rushed in from outside and leaned close to Ye Gongzi's ear, whispering a few words.

Young Master Ye's face turned pale, and the spoon in his hand clattered to the ground...nd Jiaxi also followed closely behind.Three and a half little boys surrounded Old Mrs. Li in the middle, holding her tightly.When people come to the academy to study, they lack the convenience of home...
