Ye Laosi turned around and prepared to leave. Old Lady Guo jumped up from the kang and said to Ye Laosi's back, "If you don't really want to help us, why bother saying these hypocritical words..."

Before Mrs. Guo could finish her words, Mr. Guo suddenly turned around, took two steps towards her, raised his hand and slapped her twice.

"Just shut up!" Old man Guo was so angry that his hands were shaking.

Guo Shijie was stunned by this scene, and the two children were so scared that they hid behind him.

"Old Guo, you hit me? How dare you hit me?"

Old Mrs. Guo had never been beaten by a man in her life, let alone this happened at Old Ye's house. She suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.

"I really can't live anymore..." She sat on the kang, slapped her thigh and was about to start crying, but was slapped by Old Man Guo and stopped crying.

"If you still want to be beaten, then cry until you stop crying!" Old Man Guo said with a sullen face, "You're living in someone else's house and you're still acting like this? You can afford to lose this person, but I can't!"

"Have you forgotten what you promised my parents?" Old Mrs. Guo felt very aggrieved.

Her family was better off than the Guo family back then, so when Old Man Guo came to propose marriage, he promised that he would treat her well after marriage, would not bully her, and would not let her suffer any grievances.

So Mrs. Guo always felt that she was marrying down and that Old Man Guo should listen to her in everything.

After so many years of marriage, Old Man Guo has always kept his promise and treated her very well. He listens to her in all matters at home and outside without any complaints.

At that time, Old Master Ye didn't understand the reason. He just thought that the Guo family was very harmonious, so the daughter of the Guo family would definitely be good in the future, so he arranged this marriage for Ye Lao Si.

Who knew that it was because of Old Man Guo's step-by-step indulgence that Old Lady Guo spoiled Guo into such a selfish and domineering person.

Hearing that Mrs. Guo still had the nerve to bring up this matter, Old Man Guo said angrily, "I just hit you too late!"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand again.

Old Mrs. Guo was so frightened that she quickly shrank back, fearing that she would be beaten again.

But Old Man Guo slapped himself twice and sighed, "It's all my fault. Back then, I just thought Shijie was a boy and would be a successful man in the future. I just needed to teach him well.

"Fengying is the only daughter in the family. She will inevitably marry someone else in the future. You can spoil her as much as you want.

"If I had paid more attention to you and Fengying at that time, maybe the result would not be like this now!"

When Mrs. Guo saw him like this, she felt a numbness starting from her tailbone, running up her spine and up to her scalp.

The two of them had lived together for most of their lives, but she had never seen Old Man Guo like this. He looked even more horrifying than when he beat her just now.

At least when he beat her just now, there was still a hint of pity in Old Man Guo's eyes.

But at this moment, no one could tell what kind of storm was hidden in his eyes.

The two children were already frightened and crying.

Old Mrs. Guo finally felt scared and she quickly ran behind her son and hid.

Guo Shijie said helplessly: "Dad, Mom must have known her mistake. We are at Old Ye's house now, so let's not talk about this for now. The noise will disturb other people's rest."

In fact, most of the people in the Ye family were listening attentively to the movements in the west room at this time!

Just now, when Old Man Guo rushed over to hit Old Mrs. Guo, he didn't even bother to close the door. Old Mrs. Ye and her two daughters-in-law in the opposite room heard it all.

Just when they all stopped what they were doing and ran to the door to look at the house opposite through the crack, Ye Laosi helped them close the door.

Seeing that the door opposite was closed, Mrs. Ye San felt very regretful. She opened the door quietly and stretched out her hand to call Ye Lao Si over.

"Mom, second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, do you have something to talk to me about?" Ye Laosi had just gone to find the Guo family to offer help, but he did not tell his family in advance, for fear that they would be unhappy or think that he had a problem with his brain.

So when I was called in, I felt a little guilty.

Mrs. Ye pulled him into the house, closed the door only a crack, and continued to listen to the noise from the other side.

Then she complained in a low voice: "Look at you, why did you close the door? Now I can't see anything and can only hear.

"I didn't even see that old witch get beaten. What a shame."

Mrs. Ye smiled when she heard this.

Old Mrs. Ye shook her head repeatedly, pointed at Third Sister Ye, but her face was full of indulgent smile.

Ye Laosi then realized that those people were not looking for him to settle the account, but were just here to watch the fun!

There was a lot of noise in the west room, and finally it became quiet.

Ye Lao Si was about to get up and leave when he heard Mrs. Ye say, "Second wife, third wife, it's getting late, you should all go back and rest.

"Fourth Brother, please stay for a moment."

Ye Laosi thought to himself, what was supposed to come has finally come.

Seeing my two sisters-in-law packing up and leaving, if I get scolded now, there will be no one to help me smooth things over.

Old Mrs. Ye didn't say that, but instead asked about his life in the capital.

"What job has Qingshan got now, and what has he assigned to you?

"I was so caught up in the Guo family's annoyance that I didn't even have time to ask you!"

"Brother Qingshan was appointed by the Emperor as the Commander of the Capital Guards. Simply put, his job is to protect the capital and the imperial city, and he's in charge of many people!

"He has arranged for me to work at the garrison, saying I don't have the qualifications and need to start from the grassroots level."

At this point, Ye Lao Si was afraid that Old Lady Ye would be dissatisfied, so he deliberately tried to make amends: "But Brother Qingshan also said that as long as I work hard, he will promote me in the future."
