Upon hearing Yun Dazhuang's words, the second sister's husband became somewhat worried. After all, they were blood brothers, and she feared that Yun Sanzhuang might believe his lies out of consideration for their blood relationship. Therefore, she kept her eyes on him, trying to make him see her.

But the second son's wish was ultimately dashed. Yun Sanzhuang didn't notice her gaze, but he didn't disappoint her too much either. He simply said:

“Yun Dazhuang, we’re sick of hearing what you’ve said. Do you still think we’re three-year-olds? You and these two old geezers are just trying to keep us two families on our toes, to make us feel hopeful, so we’ll be willing to be driven around like cattle and horses. Damn it, we’re human beings, not your grandchildren.”

Yun Da couldn't take it anymore. He felt that the second and third brothers had gone mad, and the world had turned upside down into a state he couldn't even imagine. So he said:

"Go ahead and break up, break up with everyone. This is my home. If you don't want to stay, get out. I don't care where you sleep in the future, your life and death are none of my business."

“Take those two pieces of cured meat, fine, that’s fine. But you have to give me back every single copper coin that Third Brother took from my room. Otherwise, your mother and I will never let you go, even if it means we all die.”

Yun Sanzhuang was not easily provoked. His short temper hardened instantly upon hearing Yun Da's heartless words: "Get out!", "His life and death are none of my concern!", and even "At worst, we'd all just give up."

He spat out a mouthful of saliva forcefully and said:

“You wish! We built this house together. Both of us contributed money and effort. Of course, we can live in it. If you want to move, you can move yourself. It doesn’t bother us at all.”

"And those fields, the village chief allocated them according to the number of people in our families. The second and third branches of the family also had their own land, so we divided it up and each of us cultivated it in the spring of the following year."

"As for the grain in the house now, it has been divided according to the number of households. And the money in this box, neither of you two old men and the eldest son will get a single copper coin!"

"Third brother, you're talking nonsense!"

Upon hearing that the money was gone, Liu immediately took off one of her shoes and threw it in the direction of Yun Sanzhuang.

"I carried you for ten months before giving birth to you. If I had known you would be such a bastard, I would have preferred to give birth to a piece of pork rather than you."

Yun Sanzhuang brandished his cleaver, immediately tossed his shoe aside, and retorted:

"Did I ask you to give birth to me? You have no money and no ability, why did you ask me to give birth to me? Did you give birth to me just so I would lose my own son? Do you want to see me favoring the first wife? Don't try to morally blackmail me. Our whole family has no moral values."

"Whether you like my proposal or not, if you're dissatisfied, then let's settle it with our fists, or report it to the authorities, or ask the village chief to uphold justice for outsiders like us. As for the money, if you won't let me go even if you die, then we'll talk about it after you're dead!"

Yun Da was so angry that he felt dizzy and lightheaded. He fainted on the spot. Liu was panicked and rushed over to shake Yun Da like she was shaking dice. Yun Dazhuang and his wife also quickly helped.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the second and third sons' wives went into the kitchen and Yun Dazhuang's room respectively, looting all the valuables that Liu Shi and the eldest son's family had hidden away. Meanwhile, Yun Sanzhuang and Yun Erzhuang counted the copper coins in the box...

The main house of the Yun family was in complete chaos tonight, a situation that Yun Ling and the others were unaware of.

The next morning, Yunling, along with Gangzi and her mother, headed to the neighboring village. Since they were newcomers and didn't want to be too conspicuous, the three of them chose to walk.

Arriving at the neighboring village, and after asking around, they finally found the Guan family's location around noon. The three of them sniffed the aroma of food wafting from the houses along the road, their stomachs growling with hunger. In the past, they had breakfast to eat, but since escaping Dongtou Village, breakfast had become a precious thing.

However, their rumbling stomachs suddenly stopped hurting when they smelled the chicken manure wafting from Guanjialinzi.

They stopped themselves from speaking and tried to hold their breath, but the further they went, the more the chicken droppings on the ground, like a treasure trove, followed them. Now, they not only had to control their noses, but also their feet.

“You look unfamiliar. Where are you from? If you want to go up the mountain, take that road. This is where I raise chickens. Chickens are afraid of people, so you should take a detour.”

Old Lady Yun immediately became enthusiastic and said with a smile:

"You must be the Uncle Guan that the women in Kengkou Village are talking about."

No sooner had she spoken than a chicken, some yellow and some black, flapped its wings and flew over Old Lady Yun's head. Luckily, Old Lady Yun was a woman of the world, and for a moment she didn't care whether chicken droppings fell on her or not, and laughed as she said:

"These chickens are raised really well."

Old Lady Yun wasn't lying. Yun Ling noticed that although the chicken was small, it was quite plump, especially its wings, which had tiny black spots on the feathers, making it very unique.

"This is called 'Ma Chicken' in our area. The meat is tender, the bones are soft, and the chicken fat... oh my, just now, my wife cooked a chicken. Come in and take a look?"

"How could I possibly accept this?"

Although that's what Old Lady Yun said, her actions betrayed her. She took a step into the house, and Yun Ling and Gangzi naturally followed closely behind.

The room was simply furnished, with a bed covered by a mosquito net, which was yellowed from use, and a few simple low stools.

However, on the left side of the room is a statue of Guan Yu, and in front of the statue is an incense burner. The ash in the incense burner is so thick that it is almost overflowing, and you can also see a few scattered copper coins next to the incense burner.

There's a door on the right, and through it leads to a path. There you can see some feeding utensils. Old Lady Yun asked:

"Uncle Guan, I heard from the women in Kengkou Village that your chickens eat grass, rice, and insects from the mountains and drink spring water. Why are you feeding them this?"

Old Guan remarked:

"I have a lot of chickens here, but not every chicken can get to eat, so they need to be taken care of."

Yunling asked again, puzzled:

"Uncle Guan, your chickens are free-range, won't they get stolen?"

"At first, they would, but once you build a good relationship, they won't. We'll keep an eye on them during the day, and then catch the chickens at night to minimize the losses."

"Bring them back?" Gangzi scratched the back of his head, somewhat surprised. "So many, how are we going to catch them all?"
