As the saying goes, the people should not fight against the officials, so looking at the officials who were watching eagerly, Boss Ye nodded and said, "Okay, it's not a big deal. My family felt sorry for you two and your two children who couldn't get enough food, so we asked Qingtian to come and take care of you.

"We all fled from the same village, you just complained that the food we gave you wasn't enough. At worst, we can just give you some more!"

When Shan Lao Da heard that he was going to be given more food, his eyes lit up immediately and he nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's right, it's all because the mother misses the child and is making a fuss. We are not the kind of people who are greedy.

"Besides, Qingtian has grown a bit fatter since he followed you guys, so we feel relieved!"

Seeing a dispute resolved like this, several officials breathed a sigh of relief and immediately dismissed the people, saying, "Alright, since you can resolve this among yourselves, don't block the official road here. If you offend the nobles entering the city, you will be in big trouble."

Soon, Boss Ye took the couple to a secluded place and asked, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

The Shan couple were so excited about getting rich that they didn't notice that the other children of the Ye family had already gone back to report the news at the signal of the eldest brother Ye.

Boss Shan said with a shameless face: "Brother Ye, look, this is what happened.

"Although we're not Qingtian's biological parents, if it weren't for me, she would have drowned in the river long ago, not to mention that we raised her for several years...

"Stop beating around the bush!" Boss Ye saw his wife and three younger brothers rushing over, and then his face suddenly darkened and he asked, "What do you want?"

“Okay, then I’ll get straight to the point.

"You gave us a bag of corn kernels, but that's still far from enough!

"You should at least give us another bag of food. After all, everyone in your family is so prosperous now, and we even ate two big fish last night. This little bit of food is not a big deal..."

After hearing this, Boss Ye realized that he had been targeted by this scoundrel for a long time.

Shan Laoda continued to talk: "We didn't know the market situation before and were deceived by you. Now we know it after walking all the way to Shanhaiguan.

"A pretty girl like Qingtian could be sold to a brothel owner for at least three or four taels of silver!"

When Boss Ye heard this, he was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.

He handed the sunny day in his arms to Mrs. Ye who came running over anxiously, and immediately raised his fist to hit her.

Boss Shan was caught off guard and screamed out in pain.

Boss Ye then punched him symmetrically on the other side of his face, spat, and cursed, "Don't you want to be famous too? This punch is enough to make you famous for several days. Are you satisfied? If not, I'll punch you twice more."

"How old is Qingtian? You were her father, and you actually wanted to sell her to a brothel? Are you still human?"

The two men used to be of equal size and strength, and even when they fought, they were basically evenly matched.

But now Boss Ye eats meat every day and is full of energy.

Boss Shan was tired and hungry after the journey, so he was no match for him. He was knocked unconscious after two punches.

When Mrs. Shan saw that the situation was not good, she hugged her child and shouted: "Help! Someone is being beaten - Help! Someone is going to be beaten to death -"

She had a loud voice to begin with, and when she yelled at the top of her lungs, her voice could be heard from far away.

Someone in a passing carriage heard the noise and immediately said, "Stop! Why do I hear someone shouting for help?

"Li Fu, go and see what's going on."

Li Fu came over and took a look from a distance before returning and saying, "Madam, there are a few strong men beating a couple holding a baby up ahead. It looks like they are bandits bullying the refugees."

The lady in the carriage frowned upon hearing this and said, "Is there really no law outside the Great Wall anymore? Someone, come here..."

She was about to call the servants over to help when a boy's clear voice suddenly rang out from inside the car, saying, "Mother, don't worry. Let me ask Li Fu."

"Excuse me, young master." Li Fu bowed quickly and listened.

"How did you determine that four strong men were beating a couple with a child?"

"To answer the young master, I saw it with my own eyes."

"Does seeing it with your own eyes necessarily mean it's true?" the boy asked. "What did people say when we were attacked by refugees before?"

Li Fu was stunned by this question and said cautiously, "Don't, others will say that we are rich but unkind, that those refugees are robbing the rich to help the poor, and that we are modern-day knights..."

The boy didn't need to say anything more, Li Fu still had nothing to understand.

He took two people with him and went back to find out the situation.

When they came over, they saw Mrs. Ye holding the frightened Qingtian in her arms, cursing angrily, "We agreed to exchange food for a child, but you've already eaten up a bag of food, and now you want a child again. How can such a good thing happen in this world?

"To be frank, if it weren't for me, Qingtian would have been traded to someone else by you. Now I'm afraid he's dead. Who else can you blackmail?"

Boss Ye echoed his wife's words, "That's right, don't think that just because we are kind, we are easy to bully. First open your dog eyes and see if you can beat the four of us brothers!"

The three brothers of the Ye family also followed suit and made harsh remarks.

"If you dare to snatch the child again, I'll be the first to beat you to death!"

"Sunny is our niece. She has nothing to do with you. Do you understand?"

"You want to sell Qingtian to a brothel? Why don't you sell your wife in there?"

Boss Shan had been seeing stars after being punched twice by Boss Ye. Now he looked at the other three brothers of the Ye family who had gathered around him. They rolled up their sleeves, and the muscles on their arms were bulging.

If everyone hits me with two punches, I will be beaten to death right away, right?

Once he figured this out, Shan Lao Da was not vague and flexible, and he immediately admitted his mistake and said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have been so greedy and shouldn't have bothered you again.

"From now on, Qingtian will be your daughter. No matter where she goes, she will be yours..."

Li Fu listened to the conversation between the two parties and roughly understood the cause and effect. He immediately felt ashamed for his preconceived notions.

Seeing that Boss Shan had already begun to swear and beg for mercy, he couldn't help but speak up for the Ye family, "Let me, an outsider, say this: dealing with a scoundrel like this isn't just about talking, you have to make him sign a document!"

This immediately woke up Boss Ye, but they were in the wilderness and their family hadn't brought any paper or pen with them when they fled the famine, so where could they go to write a document?

Li Fu saw this and said, "I'll just help them to the end. I'll help them to the end. Come with me. My master has writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone in his carriage. How about I write a document for you and serve as a witness?"

The Ye family was overjoyed to hear this, and there was no reason for them to refuse, so they thanked him repeatedly.

Li Fu immediately asked the servants behind him to keep a close eye on Boss Shan and led them towards his own convoy.

Mrs. Shan was holding her child and crying. Seeing that the head of the family was taken away, she quickly wiped her face, wiped her tears and snot, and quickly followed.
