After staying at Old Ye's house for a few days, the Guo family members not only had their fill, but also had their clothes changed and washed, and even took their luggage and food with them before leaving.

Plus, there was that incident caused by Mrs. Guo.

As a result, Guo Shijie, who originally wanted to borrow some money from Ye Laosi, was unable to bring up the matter until the carriage arrived in the capital.

Because the Guo family had not yet decided where to get off, Boss Ye simply drove to take Fourth Brother Ye to Ye Qingshan's house.

Mrs. Guo saw the wealthy families outside the car window and couldn't help asking, "What kind of place is this?"

Guo Shijie could read, and after taking a look at it, he said, "Mom, this is the General's Mansion. It must be what the village chief said the other day, that someone from the Ye family was appointed a general by the emperor."

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Guo took advantage of the fact that no one from the Ye family was on the bus to complain, "The Ye family is so powerful, yet they're so stingy. They don't even want to give us a little money. They only give us some old clothes and food, and the food is all coarse grains, not even a bit of fine grain..."

"Shut up!" Old Man Guo threatened her deliberately, "His relative is a general. If you make trouble again, he'll deal with us as easily as you crush an ant. If you want to die, go and do it yourself. Don't bring trouble upon the whole family!"

Mrs. Guo was a little frightened when she heard this, but she still grumbled stubbornly, "This is the capital, not some lawless place out in the Fortress. Even a great general wouldn't take human life lightly..."

As she was speaking, she suddenly saw someone in military uniform walk out of the gate of the general's mansion, followed by a dozen strong men with long swords on their waists.

Mrs. Guo was so frightened that she choked before she could finish her words.

The person who came out was Ye Qingshan. He had already told Menzi to tell him immediately if Ye Laosi came back.

When he heard that the Guo family was in the car outside, he immediately sent someone out to call Boss Ye, and he changed his clothes and came out with his men.

"Brother!" Ye Qingshan stepped forward and called him affectionately, glancing towards the car. "Have you dealt with all the things at home? Is there anything I can help you with?

"I told you before, if you have any problem, just let me know.

"Although we were not together before, now that you are back, you are my closest relatives.

"Whatever happens at home is just like my own business!"

"Qingshan, it's really okay. Everything is fine at home. You don't have to worry." Ye Laoda said, "If there really was something wrong, would I be able to send the fourth child back so quickly?"

"I'm glad you're okay. If anything happens at home, remember to tell me. Don't be so reserved." Ye Qingshan said, "I have people here and everything you need. I can't bully men or women, but I can't let others bully me either. Don't you agree, brother?"

"Don't worry, our family is not a pushover. Have you forgotten that I am a tiger-killing hero appointed by the emperor himself?" Boss Ye said as he waved his fist.

Old Mrs. Guo, who was looking out through the crack in the door, was so frightened that she leaned back and fell on her butt in the car.

Listening to the noise in the car, Boss Ye and Ye Qingshan looked at each other, both trying to hold back their laughter.

Guo Shijie took the opportunity to say, "Mom, you should give up this worry. As the saying goes, an arm cannot twist a thigh. I am not even an arm, I am just a little finger!

"No matter what, you have to think about your two grandchildren. Even if we can risk it all, they are still young!"

After hearing what her son said, Mrs. Guo was completely discouraged.

"I just feel uncomfortable. Your sister was a healthy and living person, but now she is gone, with no trace of her body..."

"Aren't there many people who died while fleeing famine? The Ye family are all kind people. If my sister hadn't done that, she would definitely be living a comfortable life now."

"Forget it!" Old Mrs. Guo wiped her tears and said no more.

After Boss Ye spoke to Ye Qingshan for a few more words, Ye Qingshan took his men back.

Boss Ye also returned to the car and asked, "Uncle Guo, Shijie, have you decided where you want to go from now on?"

Guo Shijie said: "Let's take it one step at a time. Now that we have clothes and food, our lives will definitely be better than before.

"Although my legs are broken, I'm still educated. I'll look for work writing letters or copying books, so I can earn some money to support my family."

"That's great!" Boss Ye nodded. "I've done some research for you. There are a lot of people in the north of the city, the houses are cheap, and you can find some odd jobs. How about I take you there to have a look?"

Old Man Guo knew nothing about the capital, so he could only nod his head after hearing this.

He thought to himself that he had no money in his pocket, and even if he went, he would not have enough money to rent a house!

But since Boss Ye said so, he agreed to go and take a look.

Only after arriving at the north of the city did Old Man Guo understand what Boss Ye meant.

It turns out that the north of the city is where the most poor people live.

"I just asked Qingshan, and he said that if you want to rent a house here, you can just rent a room and get paid by the day."

Boss Ye pointed to a nearby intersection filled with people squatting and said, "There are a lot of people looking for laborers over there every day, and those people are just squatting for work.

"Uncle Guo, you can give it a try later. I heard the wages are generally over a hundred coins, and they even provide a meal at noon.

"Aunt Guo can usually do some laundry work for others. If she does her job well, she can earn dozens of coins a day!

"Shijie, don't worry about your leg being like this. Once you're settled, you can slowly find something you can do."

After hearing that Boss Ye had found out so much for his family, Old Man Guo didn't know what to say. Before leaving, he held Boss Ye's hand for a long time and refused to let go, thanking him over and over again.
