"That's for the best!" Huo Xiao said, then looked at Ye Weiwei. "Why did you go out alone? Didn't you say you weren't going when Grandpa Zhang went to town today?"

Ye Weiwei thought to herself, "Oh no, how could I have forgotten about this?"

"I don't want others to know I'm buying medicinal herbs." As she spoke, she pointed to Ma Cuihua and her husband next door, "to avoid being gossiped about and causing unnecessary trouble."

Huo Xiao kissed Ye Weiwei, "My wife is so thoughtful."

Seeing that Yuan had passed, Ye Weiwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief; luckily, she reacted quickly.

The two ate dinner hastily, then made an excuse to go for a walk and left Grandpa Zhang's house.

After the people had walked away, Ma Cuihua pouted and said, "I wonder what those two are doing here! They look respectable, but they're always out and about, never home!"

Grandpa Zhang gave his daughter-in-law a disapproving look, and Zhang Changsheng said with a dark face, "Of course they have something to do, otherwise why would they come all the way to our godforsaken, poor place? You're always staring at them, are you just bored and have nothing better to do?"

Ma Cuilan was so angry she almost threw down her chopsticks. "I'm just worried they'll cause trouble and drag our family down with them! That farm is so chaotic, people die all the time, what good can come of getting involved there?"

Grandpa Zhang tapped his pipe, "When they come back, we'll tell them to move out and find somewhere else to live."

Ma Cuihua immediately became anxious, "This won't do!"

These two people live here and are paid 50 cents a day. They also give her more food for each meal. If they leave, she will be at a huge loss!

Zhang Changsheng snorted, "Why not? It's not like we're the only ones in the village with a place to stay. If we just go out and ask for 50 cents a day, there are plenty of families in the village who would want them to stay, and their conditions are guaranteed to be better than ours."

Ma Cuihua was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time. After a while, she finally bowed down over five cents. "I was just complaining a little, but you all, instead of helping me, are just helping outsiders to bully me!"

Zhang Changsheng warned, "Don't go looking for trouble! With your foul mouth, there's no one you can't offend! If you really anger someone, move out, and go back to your parents' house. Our Zhang family can't afford to support a spendthrift like you!"

Their little shabby house costs 50 cents a day, which is 15 yuan a month. That's enough to rent two large courtyards in town that are bigger than their house. And even so, this bitch is still not satisfied and wants to cause trouble. She must have lost her mind.

Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao easily scaled the wall into the farm, then slipped away and entered the house where her parents lived.

Of course, before going in, she got some sleep aids for her neighbors as usual. Today, she learned from Liu Yun that the neighbor to the left of her parents was a show-off who often went to Huang to tattle on them. He was Huang Pangzi's number one lackey.

Therefore, Ye Weiwei took special care of this family today, ensuring they slept soundly until dawn.

They secretly came to see their parents treating their older brother's leg, something that absolutely could not be known to anyone else.

The Ye family had been waiting for Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao. As soon as the two entered, the third brother, Ye Huaiyu, immediately closed the door and stood guard at the entrance.

Ye Weiwei wanted to say there was no need to be so nervous, that no one would discover them, but then she decided not to say anything, as it was a good thing to be vigilant.

After exchanging greetings, Ye's mother held her daughter's hand, her face beaming with joy. Ye's father and Huo Xiao sat to one side chatting quietly. Ye Weiwei first hugged her little nephew and kissed him for a while before treating her older brother's leg.

Knowing that his leg could be saved, Ye Huaiming, the eldest brother, looked much more energetic and refined than before, and regained his elegant and scholarly demeanor.

Even though he has lost a lot of weight, it can't hide his good bone structure. Instead, he looks frail and sickly, which makes people feel sorry for him.

Thinking of Tang Qian, Ye Weiwei sighed inwardly. Her good older brother had been ruined and destroyed by that woman, Tang Qian.

"Little sister, is there something wrong with my leg?" Ye Huaiming asked anxiously when he saw Ye Weiwei shaking her head and sighing.

Ye Weiwei then realized that her behavior had caused her older brother to misunderstand, and quickly said, "No, no! Brother, you can rest assured about my medical skills. If I say I can cure it, I absolutely can."

Ye Huaiming looked at Ye Weiwei suspiciously, "Then what's wrong with you? You don't seem to be in a good mood..."

Ye Weiwei sighed again, "I just overheard some things about the farm from the villagers today, and I'm worried that something might happen to you again..."

Ye Huaiming's expression stiffened for a moment, but it only lasted for a short while before he returned to normal. "Little sister, don't worry, we will be extra careful from now on."

My younger sister must know about Tang Qian, right?

Yes, how could my little sister, with her intelligence, not notice something was wrong?

“Brother, sometimes it’s better to back down. You are a precious gem, very valuable. Don’t try to fight a tile head-on. Doing so will only hurt your loved ones and please your enemies. It’s not worth it.”

Ye Huaiming chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Big Brother is just mud in the ground now, anyone can step on him, he's no jade at all!"

Ye Weiwei corrected her, dissatisfied: "I don't care what outsiders think, but in my eyes, in my parents' eyes, and in our family's eyes, you are a precious gem, and no one can compare to you."

Therefore, I will deal with those who hurt and humiliated you one by one and avenge you!

Ye Huaiming's eyes welled up with tears, and he quickly laughed it off, "Big brother doesn't know how important you are to little sister."

Ye Weiwei frowned and said seriously, "So now you know that you are very, very important to me. Remember that?"

"Yes, I've got it, brother." Ye Huaiming nodded.

No matter if others see me as worthless mud or a bedbug in a stinking ditch, as long as my little sister thinks I'm good, then I'm good, regardless of what others think or say!

At this moment, it felt as if something that had been binding Ye Huaiming had been released, and he felt more relaxed than ever before.

Ye Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her older brother had come to terms with it. As long as her brother didn't continue to dwell on things and didn't lose his will to live, that was good.

After giving her older brother acupuncture, Ye Weiwei told her family that she and Huo Xiao were going to the city to visit a friend in the next couple of days. Then she took out the plaster she had prepared in advance, explained how to use it to her older brother, and told him to apply the plaster for the next couple of days.

After Ye Huaiming received acupuncture from his younger sister twice, he felt that his leg injury had healed by more than half. Although there was no significant change on the surface and the wound was still quite gruesome, he felt that he was not in as much pain as before, which kept him up all night. If his family hadn't stopped him from getting out of bed, he felt that he could have gone to work in the fields right now.
