Chapter 207: Settlement of Debt

Ye Yunliang looked Ye Beixiu up and down, "Beixiu, I am your uncle after all, how can you fool me like this?"

Ye Jishun scolded Ye Yunliang, "How can you talk like that, Third Brother?"

Ye Yunliang kicked a clod of earth on the ground in dissatisfaction, and the clod instantly shattered into pieces. "Dad, I know you all don't like me now, and now only Bei Xiu can catch your eye.

But don’t you think about it, with his ability, how can his family earn so much money?

After all, it's still a good thing that I married a capable wife."

Wang Guilan picked up a branch from the ground and hit Ye Yunliang with it, "I told you to stop talking nonsense."

Ye Yunliang jumped out almost a meter away, covered the place where the branch hit him with his hands, and gasped, "Mom, I'm telling the truth, and I can't let people tell the truth."

Wang Guilan took the branch and tried to hit him again, but Ye Beixiu stopped her, "Grandma, you hurt Third Uncle, and you're going to be heartbroken again."

"I don't feel bad for such a heartless person!"

"How am I heartless, Bei Xiu? Third Uncle is asking you, were my words just now wrong?

Isn't all the money in your family earned by your wife?"

Ye Beixiu did not feel uncomfortable, and his male pride was not challenged at all.

When Liu Mingda was around, he reminded him many times that Zhang Juexia was smart and capable, and asked him not to be jealous, but to be more generous and provide Zhang Juexia with better opportunities to let her display her talents.

Liu Mingda also specifically told him to read more, study more, and practice more, as he might be able to display his talents in the future.

Thinking of this, Ye Beixiu told Ye Yunliang calmly, "Uncle San, our family's money is indeed earned by my wife, so please don't come to me for everything in the future. After all, I don't have enough confidence to speak in our family."

Ye Yunliang pointed at Ye Beixiu and said, "You are quite self-aware."

"It's much better than those people who don't know their place."

"Yes, I, your third uncle, am the kind of person who doesn't know who I am. Bei Xiu, your grandparents are here today, so it's a good opportunity for us to make things clear."

"Uncle San, what is there to talk about between you and me?"

"Yes, of course I have. Just tell me, was this land I opened up bought with your money?"

"yes."

"That's it. I asked you to teach me how to make money from the land. If you don't tell me, then I won't farm this land anymore."

Ye Jishun picked up a tool and swung it at Ye Yunliang, "You beast, you made the most trouble when we bought the land, and now you are shouting that you don't want to farm anymore, are you trying to piss me off to death! You..."

Having said that, Ye Yunliang was no longer afraid of Ye Jishun and Wang Guilan, "Dad, Mom, you never taught your son how to farm, so you can't farm this land.

My son is not stupid. If my wife and I don’t eat or drink for a year, we probably won’t be able to cultivate a few acres of land on that mountain. It’s better not to plant anything.

Besides, I owe Bei Xiu money. If one day I can't pay him back, and he asks me to return the land to him, I have no choice but to give it to him.

Now, all the work I do is done for him."

Ye Yunliang spoke with confidence, and he deliberately straightened his back to make himself stand straighter.

Wang Guilan cursed Ye Yunliang, saying that he was ungrateful.

Ye Beixiu persuaded Wang Guilan and Ye Jishun not to be angry.

"Uncle San, are you serious about what you just said? You really don't want to farm anymore."

"When have I ever lied?"

"Uncle San, have you thought it through?"

"I don't want to think about it anymore. Let's just leave it like this! I've had enough of this land. Anyway, you were the one who paid for the land, and I don't have the money to pay you back. I'll use this land to pay off the forty taels of silver I owe you!"

"Third brother, have you thought it through? What are you going to do if you don't farm anymore?"

"It's better to do something than farming. At worst, I can go hunting in the mountains.

Dad, to be honest, you have all been bewitched by Bei Xiu’s wife.

We are hunters and have never farmed before. Why should we give up our old profession and go farming?

Being a hunter is no more comfortable than living in a place like this.

Besides, look at this mountain land we bought, what can we grow even if we open it up?"

Ye Yunliang poured out all the dissatisfaction in his heart, making Ye Jishun so angry that he gasped for breath.

Wang Guilan quickly calmed him down, "Old man, don't be angry. Didn't you say that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings?

This one has also been divided, so if they want to do something, then let them do it!"

Seeing how Ye Yunliang had pissed off Ye Jishun, Ye Beixiu also got angry, "Since Third Uncle wants to use the mountain land to pay off the debt, then let Third Uncle do it!

But this matter cannot be just talked about, we need to make a written agreement and let the village head be a witness."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. Let's go now."

Ye Yunliang pulled Ye Beixiu and walked out.

Ye Beixiu looked back at Ye Jishun and saw that he was feeling better. "Grandma, I'll be back soon. Please take good care of me."

If I feel unwell, Juexia is in my backyard. She should be able to hear you if you shout loudly."

Wang Guilan waved her hand. "Go quickly and come back soon, Beixiu. Don't consider our feelings. Just do what needs to be done. After all, he didn't want to farm the land, so you can't blame anyone else."

After listening to Ye Yunliang's description, Ye Jidong understood the general situation. "Nephew Yunliang, this document is easy to write and it's easy to be a witness. But, have you thought it through?"

"I've thought about it, Uncle Ji Dong, please write it quickly, I have other things to do!"

At Ye Yunliang's urging, Ye Jidong wrote the document with a flourish. After he finished, he read it again and asked Ye Yunliang and Ye Beixiu for their opinions.

Both of them shook their heads to indicate that they had no opinion.

"Then sign and seal it, Beixiu. When you go to town, take this document with you and ask the government to transfer this mountain land to your name."

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

"You're welcome!"

After Ye Yunliang signed and sealed the document, he felt much more relaxed. He said goodbye and left.

Ye Jidong asked Ye Beixiu to stay, and the grandfather and grandson exchanged a few words, "Beixiu, I heard that you are selling vegetables recently?"

"Well, I planted some vegetables a while ago and picked out the big ones to sell."

"So what are your plans for the future?"

"Grandpa, do you mean the mountains?"

"Well, to be honest, my family also followed the trend and bought some mountain land, but I don't know what to plant?"

"Grandpa, you can take some time to visit my back mountain and open up wasteland there, either to grow crops or vegetables. Oh, by the way, Village Chief, my wife also bought some chicks and plans to raise chickens in the mountains."

"Raising chickens? That's a rare thing. How about this, I'll go to your mountain to take a look when I have time."
