"No problem, I'm sure there won't be any more trouble on my end."

Song Tao thought about how his parents had just said they were very happy to hear that someone was going to arrange a marriage, especially since the suitor was coming to their door.

That means you don't need to think about building a house or anything like that anymore. You can just give 100 yuan as a gift.

This can be considered as completing the last task.

"Don't worry, sister. The Song family may be poor, but they are good people and won't go back on their word. To tell you the truth, they are your brother's aunt's family. This is our little cousin."

Don't worry, your sister is here to support you. Song Tao is a good kid. He served in the army for five years, and his family used his subsidies to help his three older brothers get married.

My aunt's family all feel indebted to him. Now, if he can find a girl from your village he likes, that would be a good place for him.

From now on, he won't need to worry about things at home.

Xu Jinfeng was also afraid that the matter would not go through, and planned to go to her aunt's house to talk about it afterward.

"Alright, in the next few days, I'll bring the girl from our village over, and you can take a look at her."

"No need, no need for the young lady to come in person. Just tell us the date, and we'll go by ourselves."

Xu Jinfeng immediately refused. The road here is difficult to travel; they might frighten people.

"Yes, sister-in-law, I can go down by myself. When would you like to suggest?"

Song Tao still felt it was a bit shameless to call Ye Xiaoxiao "sister-in-law," considering he was so much older than her.

"Then let's do it in three days. You can all come then. Just treat it as visiting relatives."

Ye Xiaoxiao finished her meal and didn't stay any longer, fearing that her children might cause trouble, so she left quickly.

The way back was like flying, all downhill. It took two hours to go up, but only an hour to get home.

When I got home, I found the front door was closed and the shop was also shut down.

Ye Xiaoxiao was furious. Just thinking about Li Chenyang, she knew he was out fooling around again.

She rode her bike straight to the old house.

"Mom, do you know where Li Chenyang went?"

When they arrived at the old house, Grandma was holding Hao Hao and comforting him; the child was probably hungry. Upon seeing Ye Xiaoxiao, he kept trying to get into her arms.

Ye Xiaoxiao held her son tenderly and sat on the doorstep in front of the door to feed him.

"Oh dear, he said he went to help someone fix a car, but I didn't quite catch it. I think he said something about a tractor breaking down."

"It's the tractor again. I'm really impressed with him. He doesn't do his family business, but he can do the work of two people. People treat him like a free laborer."

This has happened countless times. Just because he can fix these things, everyone wants to call him.

Ye Xiaoxiao fed the child and went home first, quickly opening the door. But she still felt a sense of unease.

She didn't even cook a meal. When Aying and Zhou Amei returned home in the afternoon, she had just told them that they were planning to come over and meet her in three days.

Then Li Chenyang staggered back. He reeked of alcohol as he approached.

Ye Xiaoxiao handed Hao Hao to A Ying to hold first, and then grabbed Li Chenhao outside the door and beat him up without saying a word.

Li Chenyang returned home happily after drinking, completely forgetting that his child was still at the old house.

I had just reached the door when my wife slapped me. The sound startled everyone.

Li Chenyang was also jolted awake by his wife's slap. He shook his head.

He glared at Ye Xiaoxiao, wondering why she had hit him when there were so many people outside.

"What's wrong with you?!" Li Chenyang yelled angrily at Ye Xiaoxiao.

"I'm going crazy! What did I tell you this morning? You promised to stay home and take good care of the shop. What have you been doing?"

This time, Ye Xiaoxiao wasn't going to give Li Chenyang any face at all.

There were already those gossipy old women sitting at the entrance.

Li Chenyang knew without a doubt what kind of rumors would spread about him being beaten by his wife today.

"Hey, Xiaoxiao, you can't hit people! Let's talk this out!" Li Shulan immediately stepped forward to pull Ye Xiaoxiao away.

Ye Xiaoxiao didn't want to give up either. If she didn't beat Li Chenyang into submission today, he would still be the same in the future, running away whenever someone called him, not caring about his own family's affairs, but treating other people's families like his own grandfather.

Ye Xiaoxiao pointed at Li Chenyang,

"Do you remember where you left the child? I told you to stay home and mind the shop."

You're something else, you just go whenever someone calls you, like you're their grandson.

So obedient, neglecting their own business, they act like dogs.

Ye Xiaoxiao poked Li Chenyang's forehead with her finger.

"I...I was just going to help someone out. What's the big deal?"

Li Chenyang was unconvinced. Seeing the group of women around him laughing at him as if it were a show, his blood rushed to his head.

He raised his hand to slap Ye Xiaoxiao.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaoxiao easily reached out and grabbed Li Chenyang's arm. Then, she slapped him across the face.

"Hit you? You dare to lay a hand on me?" Ye Xiaoxiao's anger flared even more, and she grabbed his wrist and pulled him down.

"Let me go!" Li Chenyang struggled, the alcohol taking effect, and he was not quite sober.

"Go ahead and hit me!" Ye Xiaoxiao glared at him, twisting his hand hard, causing Li Chenyang to wince in pain and bend over.

"Hey, please stop this, let's talk this out!" Li Shulan quickly stepped forward to mediate.

"Yeah, don't fight. Ye Xiaoxiao, you're too ruthless. How could you hit the men in your own family?" Wang Ailing tried to persuade her, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

The people around them all looked on as if they were watching a spectacle.

Ah Ying and Zhou Amei stood to the side, holding Hao Hao, completely stunned.

I never expected my sister-in-law, who usually looks so gentle and weak, to be so strong.

"I told you to mind the shop, so you mind the shop; I told you to take care of the kids, so you take care of the kids. But you, you run away as soon as someone calls you, and you're so drunk you want to hit me?" Ye Xiaoxiao said, twisting his wrist.

Li Chenyang was in so much pain that he was sweating profusely, and he was too embarrassed to admit defeat in front of so many people, so he struggled to stand up:

"You...you let go!"

"You tell me first, will you dare to do this again?" Ye Xiaoxiao persisted.

"Let go!" Li Chenyang stubbornly refused to back down.

Seeing his reaction, Ye Xiaoxiao tightened her grip: "Will you talk or not?"

"Ouch...it hurts..." Li Chenyang finally couldn't take it anymore, "I won't do it again, I won't do it again, please let go!"

Everyone around was stunned. Who would have thought that Li Chenyang, such a big guy, couldn't beat his own wife? They all burst into laughter.

"Xiaoxiao, look, he's already admitted his mistake, let him go quickly," Granny Wang advised.

Ye Xiaoxiao then let go of his hand, and Li Chenyang immediately touched his wrist and took a few steps back, his face turning red.

"You...you..." Li Chenyang pointed at Ye Xiaoxiao, feeling both ashamed and angry, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"What do you mean, 'you'?" Ye Xiaoxiao glared at him. "I told you to stay home and mind the shop, but instead, you went out drinking."
