Traveled through time with my ex-boyfriend [Chang Tian]

Chapter 77

【The anger from my brother】

At dinner, Erniang Yuan bite the bullet and didn't go back to the house, she just sat at the table with the children, but she didn't eat a few mouthfuls of the meal, and she was quite angry.

Little Hammer and Guan Erxiao huddled together, babbling and talking, holding back their stomachs.

As soon as the braised prawns were served, all the round eyes on the table lit up.

Yuan Erniang hesitated, thinking about being reserved before moving her chopsticks.

Unexpectedly, the little hammer smiled, and the little black hand swished over, grabbing half of the plate.

Dalang's wife saw it and was about to beat him up. Then, Guan Erxiao followed suit and took the other half of the plate away.

The two little men didn't eat alone, they were divided among Guan Xiao and Guan San Xiao.The little ones chewed the meat along with the belt, and their eyes narrowed because of the aroma.

Yuan Erniang watched helplessly, not to mention that she didn't catch a single shrimp, and Guan Erxiao wiped her whole body with juice.

Dalang's daughter-in-law was stunned, and she sat down slowly after getting up just now.

As for the others, they secretly held back their laughter, pretending they didn't see it.

When the steamed fish came up, it was the same scene.

This time, the four little guys worked together, one pulled the fish head and the other pulled the tail. The stomach went to the youngest Guan Sanxiao, and the tender meat on the back of the fish was given to the picky eater Guan Erxiao.

Yuan Erniang didn't catch it again.

When the stewed goose came up, Guan Erxiao became more polite, exchanged a glance with Little Hammer, and gave Yuan Erniang a goose ass.

The little guy stretched out a small oily hand, and threw it into her bowl very friendly, "This is for you to eat."

Yuan Erniang smelled the fragrant smell, she would not eat it, she would not eat it, her face was livid with anger, but she wanted to put on a gentle and amiable look.

"Thank you, Second."

"You're welcome, uncle said, what you eat is what you eat—you have to eat some of this."

Yuan Erniang: ...

"Pfft——" Ye Fan pouted his head and laughed loudly.

Third Sister Ye glanced over there, laughed and scolded: "Stinky boy." Well done!

The rest of the people couldn't help laughing either.

Even Second Sister Ye held up her handkerchief to cover her upturned mouth.

Ye Fan smiled happily, stretched out his hand to peel a big red shrimp, and put it in the second sister's bowl, "This shrimp is really tender, sister, eat more."

Second Sister Ye nodded and smiled gently.

Li Yao glanced at the prawns in the second sister's bowl, it was sour, and there was one more in his own bowl.

A small tender face sticking to the soup came to the side, and the bright black eyes smiled into crescent moons, "Thank you."

Master Chang'an Hou picked it up unhurriedly, looked at it carefully, and then put it in his mouth.

——Well, although there is not much meat left, but the little clumsy hand was pitted, fortunately, it smells weird.

How pleasant a meal must be.

***

After dinner, Guan Erlang went back to Yushuzhuang, while Ye Sanjie and her three nephews stayed overnight.

Ye Fan put the nephews in his own room, and the third sister and the second sister slept together so that they could talk about each other.

Silent night.

Ye Fan was wrapped in a cloak, hiding under the second sister's window and listening to the corner of the wall.

The north wind in late autumn was blowing, Ye Fan folded his hands and shrank his neck, looking as pitiful as a little match girl.

In the room, Third Sister Ye was still talking about the three boys going to school, which made Second Sister Ye laugh several times.

Ye Fan couldn't laugh at all, his nose was bubbling from the cold.

"My dear sister, let's get to the point quickly, and if I go further around your brother, I won't be able to see the sun tomorrow..."

Xu Shi sensed his resentment, and after laughing again, Third Sister Ye paused, and finally asked: "Sister, tell the truth, does Yuan treat you well?"

"What's good, what's bad?" Second Sister Ye's voice was soft and calm, just like her, "Life is always like this."

"There are good days and bad days, can they all be the same?" Third Sister Ye has always been straightforward and said without hesitation: "Sister, I won't make detours with you, just talk about it. , but is there any other way to treat me lightly?"

For a while, Ye Fan didn't hear the second sister's voice, and didn't know if she was planning or silently refusing.

Ye Fan rubbed his hands, a little anxious.

Fat Tuan hugged his chin, and a small ball stuck to his face, his golden eyes were round and open, as if he was as nervous as he was.

Bailu walked up to them, lying down with his tall body, just blocking the cold little whirlwind.

Ye Fan patted his head and thanked him silently.

The white deer gently rubbed against his hand.

Third Sister Ye's voice sounded again in the room, "Sister, if it's just an ordinary quarrel between husband and wife, I don't want to be nosy, if there is anything else, you might as well say it, and I have the right to be a few people to give you advice."

Second Sister Ye still didn't say a word.

Third Sister Ye looked out of the window, a little anxious, "You are said to be submissive, but if I ask you, you are stubborn. Why can't you rely on your brothers and sisters, do you have to do it yourself?"

Second Sister Ye finally spoke, and sighed: "How old is Fanzi? You have a big family to support here. As a sister, how can I make you worry about it? These days, there is no one who is perfect, just make do with it." It's over."

Ye Fan was about to die of anxiety, and couldn't hold back a big sneeze.

"Who's outside?" Second Sister Ye said with obvious panic in her tone.

Third Sister Ye frowned, her eyes filled with distress, "Sister, this is our own home, nothing more than these few people, what are you afraid of?"

"I..." Second Sister Ye collected herself, her body still did not relax.

Ye Fan couldn't listen anymore, stood up abruptly, knocked on the window, "Sister, open the door!"

Second Sister Ye was shocked again.

Third Sister Ye sighed, and didn't discuss it with her, and directly opened the cave door - she knew that Ye Fan was outside, and this was originally discussed by the two of them.

Anyway, it was his own sister, Ye Fan didn't have so many scruples, so he walked in.

"Fanzi? Why haven't you slept yet?"

Second Sister Ye hurriedly put on her outer dress, and smiled slightly, her original intention was to comfort Ye Fan's heart, but her reluctant appearance was counterproductive.

"Sister, if there is something, you can tell it today. Remember, I said, you are not without a natal family, and it is not his turn to be bullied by Yuan!"

"Where do you start with this? Children, don't think about it, sister is fine!" Second Sister Ye said pretending to be relaxed.

"I'm not young at all!" Ye Fan stepped forward, took her hand, and said bitterly, "Look at your hands!"

There were thick calluses on the knuckles, and a big pustule bulged at the base of the thumb. Ye Fan knew that this was tenosynovitis, and it was purely tired!

"Look into your eyes again—"

Ye Fan retreated to the door and stretched out two fingers, "What is this, can you see it clearly?"

Second Sister Ye clutched at the front of her shirt in a daze, tears fell before she could say anything.

Bitter!

This is the bitter water she has swallowed for more than ten years.

Yuan Xiucai spent money on writing and ink, and had a lot of entertainment, but he didn't have any profitable business.Father Yuan has a dozen or so concubines and concubines, and they are all masters who have come and gone.The Yuan family's mistress was even more selfish, shutting herself in her room all day, ignoring everything.

In this way, the food and clothing expenses of the family were carried on the shoulders of Second Sister Ye alone.

Thanks to her colorful weaving skills, her monthly salary is several times higher than that of ordinary weavers.

However, with so many mouths, even if you trick your hands and dazzle your eyes, you will just be starving to death.

She thought she was covering it up very well, but she never expected that Ye Fan would notice all this.

"Sister, do you have anything to say?"

Second Sister Ye just shed tears and didn't make a sound.

Seeing her like this, Ye Fan had no choice but to resort to aggressive tactics, "Since you don't want to say it, well, I'll treat you as a big wronged person, and simply hand over a lawsuit to the county magistrate, begging him to sentence you and me." Leave!"

"No!" Second Sister Ye panicked.

"Then just say it!" Ye Fan was furious.

Thinking of those things that cannot be said, Second Sister Ye burst into tears.

It's not that she is out of touch, or that she is cowardly, but because she knows a secret of the Yuan family.These years, the reason why she blindly forbears and dare not even die is that she is afraid of hurting her natal family and her younger brother.

Third Sister Ye hugged her trembling body, she couldn't bear it after all, and shook her head at Ye Fan.

The more this happened, the more worried Ye Fan became.

"Sister, do you have something to hide, or are you afraid of his status as a scholar?" He softened his tone and comforted him gently, "Don't be afraid, although we are all dressed in white, don't we still have the Marquis of Chang'an as our big backer?"

"That's right, Fanzi is right. Master Hou is very good to our family. If there is something wrong, he will definitely help." Third Sister Ye followed suit.

These words really touched Second Sister Ye, she couldn't help but stop crying, recalling what she saw and heard that day, inexplicably gave birth to a lot of confidence.

"Are you sure, Master Hou will help?" Second Sister Ye asked with a sob.

"It will." Ye Fan said without hesitation.

Second Sister Ye raised her wet red eyes and looked at him steadily, her eyes gradually turned from panic to firmness.

She closed her eyes, breathed a long sigh of relief, and slowly talked about what happened in these years.

The root of everything lies in Yuan Xiucai's own flaws.

The two of them slept separately during the wedding night in the bridal chamber, and even in the next ten years, they never shared the same bed.

Second Sister Ye couldn't understand at first, and she also blamed and complained, but then she found out the truth from an old servant.

It turned out that Yuan Xiucai was naughty when he was a child, and fell from a tree, hurting his life, and he has been unable to do anything since then.

Few people knew about this matter, except for the old servant, only Yuan Xiucai and his biological mother, and now there is a Second Sister Ye.

Therefore, after she got married, she would be watched to death, because the Yuan family's mother and son were afraid that she would reveal it.

Occasionally, Yuan Xiucai would vent her grievances on her when she drank too much, and beatings and scolding were common.

Second Sister Ye endured it before, but gradually gained confidence later on, and she was able to protect herself eight out of ten times.

Especially in the following years, the expenses of the family were borne by her alone. Although she was tired, she felt at ease, because this was not only her umbrella, but also her life-saving talisman.

The reason why the term "life-saving talisman" is used is because it involves another matter, a matter that has bound Second Sister Ye for nearly ten years, and even He Li dare not mention it.

Father Yuan married ten concubines successively, not because he could not give birth to a son, but because those who were suspected of having sons were killed by Yuan Xiucai's mother and son before they could give birth.

"Anti-fetal medicine" has always been made by Yuan's mother herself, and has never passed through the hands of others. They even sang a good song together with the witch, making Yuan Yuan believe that he is destined to have only one son.

The medicinal materials are very ingenious - it seems to be a strange prescription for preventing miscarriage, but it is actually a charm for urging life.

Father Yuan also suspected it, and even secretly showed it to others. However, even the doctors in the medical center couldn't see anything wrong. This is the most helpless thing.

It was also a coincidence that this matter was accidentally discovered by Ye Erjie.

When she was at home, she loved to read, especially some miscellaneous books that recorded anecdotes and strange events, but she had seen that prescription.

God knows how terrified she was when she found out the truth—eight lives, at least eight lives—all were buried in the hands of the Yuan family's mother and son.

Second Sister Ye never knew that people's hearts could be so sinister.

Murder, poison, these things that can only appear in the storybook actually happened before her eyes.

During that time, Second Sister Ye almost went crazy with fright, haunted by nightmares every night.Either he dreamed that he was killed by Yuan Xiucai, or he dreamed that he chased Han Jialing and poisoned his family members to death.

She herself is not afraid of death, but she is afraid of hurting her family.

Therefore, these years, she had her natal family but dared not return, or even have too much contact with her family, for fear that Yuan Xiucai would become suspicious.

She trembled and endured humiliation just to wait for an opportunity.

A chance like today, with the backing of Marquis Chang'an, can hit a single blow.

"Whoa-"

The fine white porcelain teapot was dropped to the ground by Ye Fan.

"Bangdang-"

The heavy wooden door was kicked hard by him.

Second Sister Ye cried and stopped, "Don't hurt yourself!"

Ye Fan ran out the door, scurrying around in the yard like a headless chicken—he had to do something, he had to do something, or he would go crazy.

He couldn't imagine a woman staying alone in an empty room for more than ten years.

He couldn't imagine that worthless man punching her.

He couldn't imagine that she worked day and night for that family, her hands were worn out, her eyes were tired and blind.

He couldn't imagine how terrified she must be alone, trapped in such a murderous den, day and night!

This person is his sister.

It was the gentle and demure, soft-spoken flesh-and-blood relative who played behind her back and sewed delicate purses for him!

When she was a daughter at home, when had she ever been treated like this, and when had she ever been wronged like this!

If Ye's father and Ye's mother had spirits in the sky, I don't know how painful it would be!

Ye Fan rode on the white deer, smashed open the gate, and galloped in the cold night wind.

He wants revenge.

Take your revenge slowly.

Even if the surname Yuan is hacked into pieces, it can't make up for the pain and suffering that my elder sister has suffered all these years!

***

Ye Fan woke up all night in the night wind.

The next day, I went to the county before dawn.

Thanks to the Ye Family for the No. [-] Scholar wine, it is not only delicious, but also famous.

Ye Fan first went to "Ten Fragrance Tower" - this is the best restaurant in the county, and it is also the place where Yuan Xiucai often entertains his classmates with Ye Erjie's hard-earned money.

Needless to say, Ye Fan just slapped a contract on the table, and the owner of the restaurant agreed to his "small condition".

The second one went to the Xianglanyuan, where all kinds of famous prostitutes were sleeping—how crazy, it was the first time in his two lifetimes that he went to a brothel, and it was actually for that scum who had lost his life!

It was time for Xianglanyuan to close the door to sleep, and the old bustard tried to send him away for any reason.

Ye Fan patted Bailu's head, and with an acceleration, the two door panels stained with rouge and gouache were smashed into pieces.

The old bustard had her hips on her hips, her eyes widened, and she was about to have a seizure when Ye Fan pursed his lips, with a sullen face, he tore off the bronze medal from his waist, and threw it in front of her.

The small oval bronze medal is no more than the size of a palm, with the word "Li" engraved in the center. It is old and not unusual.

But the old bustard was so frightened that he fell asleep, and quickly invited Ye Fan into the living room, where he was served with good tea and water, and she responded repeatedly to what Ye Fan said.

Before leaving, Ye Fan kindly put down two strings of money to pay for the family.

The old bustard not only did not dare to think too little, but also had to be grateful.

After doing this, Ye Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and bought some meat buns and pork heads from a shop facing the street for breakfast for his sister and nephew.

On the way back, he hugged the white deer's neck and kept knocking on his head, almost falling asleep.

He didn't know that someone stayed up with him all night.

It wasn't until he saw him enter the valley and returned to the cave that Master Chang'an Hou left the window, called the cronies behind him, and gave instructions one by one.

It is Li Yao's principle to tell Ye Fan to get angry enough, but also to clean up the mess for him.

***

I don't know which gust of wind opened the eyes and blew the bad luck of the entire Daning County to Yuan's family.

On this day, Yuan Xiucai held a banquet in Shixianglou as usual. Apart from his classmates, there were also the head of the academy—the latter was the most important thing, which was related to whether he could successfully participate in the provincial examination in the coming year.

Therefore, Yuan Xiucai made a big deal, ordering a whole table of wine and meat.

During the banquet, everyone exchanged glasses and ate to their heart's content, and the students even said a lot of compliments.

Seeing that Yuan Xiucai was indeed talented and generous in his actions, the officer in charge gradually got a sense in his heart and smiled on his face.

Yuan Xiucai knew that this matter was considered a success, so he was naturally very proud.

Unexpectedly, something went wrong when checking out.

Today is September 26, his own salary has been squandered long ago, and the colored cloth handed in by Second Sister Ye has four days to pay.

He thought about paying on credit first - it's not like he hasn't done this before. Because of his status as a scholar, although the shopkeeper was reluctant, he didn't dare to offend him.

Unexpectedly, this time the other party changed his attitude, his tone was still polite, but his words were ruthless.

"I want a lot today, you should eat and pay now, don't embarrass the little ones."

Yuan Xiucai looked around and said in a low voice: "You put it in the account first, and it must be settled at the end of the month. You know, it's not short as usual..."

The shopkeeper smiled, "You know, you are a regular visitor in our building."

Yuan Xiucai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what he said, and smiled condescendingly, "In that case..."

"No." The shopkeeper replied bluntly, with a specially raised voice, "The boss's new rules, if you don't pay this money, you have to deduct it from your salary. You are a dignified scholar, so don't embarrass us poor people."

The name "Xiu Cai" was called out by him, and the diners in the lobby looked at Yuan Xiucai one after another.

Not far away stood his classmate and the senior manager.These people were implicated by him, so they had to be talked about a few times.

Yuan Xiucai was both ashamed and anxious, and wanted to reason again, when a person suddenly came out from behind, put a thin sheet of handover on the counter, snorted coldly, and walked away.

Yuan Xiucai was startled, and hurriedly chased after her.

However, no matter whether he catches up or not, what he wants will definitely not come true.

This incident was originally not a big one, but it was known by whoever said it.

In order to get rid of the suspicion, those classmates who had "very close friends" stood up and expressed their positions one after another——

"I think he is just a casual acquaintance, and there will be no more contact with him in the future."

These words reached Yuan Xiucai's ears, and he was so angry that he dropped the inkstone at hand, and had to pick it up by himself after the fall.

Firstly, Second Sister Ye was not at home, so no one would clean it up for him; secondly, without Second Sister Ye's salary, he couldn't afford such things no matter what.

Perhaps Father Yuan didn't hear the rumors in the market, or he heard it, but pretended not to hear it, sleeping with concubines and visiting brothels as usual.

That night, a stage was set up in the Xianglan Courtyard, which was the most lively.

Father Yuan was full of food and drink, and planned to go in to have a good time, but before the second door could be entered, he was thrown out by the bustard.

He is not as face-saving as Yuan Xiucai, standing at the door and yelling: "This is the first time I have heard that I am such an old man who doesn't sleep with prostitutes!"

The old bustard was not as polite as the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and scolded back mercilessly: "You have to show face at such an advanced age, and want to go shopping without any money? Pooh!"

Father Yuan was playing a rogue, "Open your dog eyes and see who your grandpa is!"

"Isn't it just an old scholar in the west of the city? Heh, there is a young scholar in the family. The two men have read the sage books for nothing, and they are all raised by the little daughter-in-law weaving-oh, a family of men who steal women and whores have the face to laugh at us for opening a brothel." of?"

Now there is no need to publicize it, everyone in the county knows that Yuan Xiucai's father didn't bring any money when he went to the kiln, and he just waited for his daughter-in-law to weave the cloth to tie the knot.

Shame on you!

Yuan Xiucai was walking on the street, feeling someone pointing from behind all the time.

When he arrived at the academy, it was An Sheng. His former classmates avoided him like a scourge, and no one spoke to him at all.

Yuan Xiucai was smart since he was a child, and was often praised by his teachers, and his classmates also vaguely regarded him as the leader.Therefore, he is quite pretentious, how can he bear such a psychological gap?

He didn't feel that it was his fault at all, he only hated those people for turning their faces and being ruthless, thinking that one day they would become prosperous and step on them one by one.

Holding his breath, he came to the bookstore angrily, intending to use the cloth money he just got to buy two books and make good use of his work.

As soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper saw him, and said coolly, "Small business, no credit."

Yuan Xiucai broke out completely and kicked over the counter.

There are all kinds of pens and inks on the counter, and if you count them all, it is not a small sum.

The treasurer of the bookstore immediately reported to the official.

Because of his friendship with Sister Ye, the yatou originally wanted to let Yuan Xiucai go, but Fan Dalang ran over to tell him that he should be punished as he likes, and it doesn't matter if he punishes severely.

Although he didn't understand the reason, the yatou still asked the public to handle it.

As a result, all the money in Yuan Xiucai's possession was taken out, and the family was turned upside down, and they were put together one by one, and even the odds were not enough.

In the end, it was Yuan's mother who couldn't bear her son's imprisonment and became the silver hairpin on her head, which paid for the loss of the bookstore.

Now, the people in the county have new things to talk about——

"Yuan's family is poor, they don't have a single coin!"

On the day Yuan Xiucai came home, the two concubines were fighting fiercely.

The reason is that when the officials searched the houses, a silver-plated hairpin was found from one of the rooms, which was lost in the other room.

Behind him, there were endless discussions from the neighbors——

"Look, without the Ye family's wife, the whole family can lead such a virtuous life!"

"Who says it's not? She's only been away for two days, and something like this happened at home..."

"In the past, Mrs. Yuan scolded the sky, saying that he was a vixen and a family star. Now it's over. It's clear at a glance who is a fox and who is a spirit."

"That said..."

"how?"

"reasonable!"

"Hahaha……"

Yuan Xiucai clenched her fists and walked to Second Sister Ye's room unknowingly.

The cramped space, a broken bed, a desk with short legs, and nothing else.

The only thing that looks decent is the loom. The armrests are smooth and rounded, and slightly sunken. I don’t know how many days and nights it takes to make it like this.

In this situation, Yuan Xiucai not only did not feel the slightest touch, but instead gave birth to infinite resentment.

He blamed Second Sister Ye for not being at home at this time, causing ridicule from the neighbors; he blamed Second Sister Ye for being able to weave, making others think that he was an incompetent person who relied on his wife!

Yuan Xiucai twisted his face, his eyes gleamed with hatred, and the tyrannical factor that had been suppressed for a long time rushed to his forehead like a flood.

Speaking of which, he hadn't seen her tears for a long time, and hadn't heard her scream for a long time.

He closed his eyes, strode out, and headed towards Hanjialing.
