Lin Shuyue was dumbfounded. She never expected that her handsome, talented, gentle and considerate younger brother Ye Yun would actually pin Gou Sheng, the village's notorious good-for-nothing, to the ground and beat him up.

Just by listening to their conversation and Gou Sheng's terrified expression, you could tell that he had been beaten by Ye Yun quite a bit in the past and seemed to have developed post-traumatic stress disorder.

Faced with Ye Yun's intimidation, Gou Sheng trembled with fear and hurriedly pulled out several hundred yuan from his pocket, as if he were paying protection money to a primary school student.

"Brother, this is a token of my concern for your wife."

Ye Yun snatched the money, counted it, and frowned. "How come it's only four hundred?"

"That's all, Brother Ye, please forgive me. I'll never dare to do it again," Gou Sheng pleaded.

Ye Yun sighed, "Alright, I'll let you off the hook today since it's your first offense and my sister-in-law is alright. But if you dare to do this again, you still remember how I tormented you before!"

"I remember, of course I remember. If I had known that Brother Ye was here, I wouldn't have dared to do it even if you gave me a thousand lives. I would have treated my sister-in-law like a goddess."

Ye Yun moved his foot away, pointed at Lin Shuyue and said, "Go, kneel down and kowtow to your sister-in-law to apologize."

"Yes." Gou Sheng, enduring the pain, knelt down in front of Lin Shuyue and kowtowed three times, saying, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law. I offended you because I was drunk. I'm not human. Please forgive me..."

Seeing Gou Sheng's bruised and swollen face, Lin Shuyue sighed and said, "Alright, just don't make this mistake again. Go back now!"

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Gou Sheng gratefully kowtowed three more times, then stood up, supporting his arm, and looked nervously at Ye Yun.

"What are you looking at me for? Get lost!"

"Okay, I'll get lost now." With that, Gou Sheng turned to leave.

"Wait." Just then, Ye Yun called out to him.

Gou Sheng's heart tightened immediately. He turned around nervously and looked at Ye Yun helplessly, "Is...is there anything else?"

Ye Yun walked over, gave him a hundred yuan, and said, "Go to the clinic and ask the doctor to put on more bandages for you."

Gou Sheng was immediately moved and waved his hand repeatedly, saying, "No, Brother Ye, you know I'm thick-skinned, this little injury is nothing to me."

"Idiot, do you think I'm doing this for you?" Ye Yun tapped him on the forehead, put his arm around his shoulder and whispered, "Wrap more bandages around your body, make it look as serious as possible, then walk around the village a few times, especially around the village chief's area. Make sure the village chief sees you looking badly injured, understand?"

"Ah, why is that? Why do we need the village chief to see this?" Gou Sheng asked, puzzled.

"It's no use talking to you. Just do as I say. If there's any work to be done later, you'll definitely need to be there." With that, Ye Yun punched him in the chest.

Upon hearing this, Gou Sheng's eyes lit up, and he excitedly asked, "Brother Ye, do you mean you're not leaving this time and will come back to work with us again?"

"What do you mean by 'mingling'? This is called development. Don't make me sound like a gangster."

"Hehe, I understand, I understand. You're a college student, so your perspective will definitely be different. Don't worry, leave this to me. I'll definitely give the whole village, especially the village chief, a little shock."

"Alright, now get out of here!"

"Alright, I'm off now." With that, Gou Sheng limped away, leaving Ye Yun completely stunned.

"Damn, I didn't kick my leg, so how did I end up limping?"

Turning around, Ye Yun saw his sister-in-law, Lin Shuyue, looking at him with a strange gaze, making Ye Yun extremely embarrassed.

"Um... Sister-in-law, are you alright? That kid didn't touch you, did he?" Ye Yun coughed and stepped forward to ask with concern.

"It's alright, thankfully you arrived in time." Lin Shuyue looked at him with a strange gaze, as if he had a split personality, acting like he was the complete opposite of Gou Sheng when it came to her.

"Sister-in-law, did I scare you?"

Lin Shuyue shook her head. "No, I was just surprised. I didn't expect you to be so fierce. Even Gou Sheng was scared like that."

Ye Yun scratched his head, smiled shyly, and said, "When dealing with that kind of scoundrel, you have to be tough. That guy is a bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong, and he especially likes to bully people like you, sister-in-law."

"Yes, I understand." Lin Shuyue stepped forward, gently wiping the sweat from Ye Yun's face, and looked directly into his eyes, asking curiously, "Is your vision alright?"

"No, it was mainly because I wanted to change things up; I thought wearing glasses would make me look more refined," Ye Yun explained.

Lin Shuyue took the glasses out of his pocket and put them on him, instantly transforming his originally sharp demeanor into one of gentleness.

"Yes, this is better; it makes people feel more comfortable," Lin Shuyue said with a smile.

"Yes, I think so too."

Ye Yun pushed up his glasses, then picked up the bag he had thrown on the ground and said to Lin Shuyue, "Let's go back. I'll make lunch today."

"You? You can cook?" Lin Shuyue was somewhat surprised.

“Didn’t my brother tell you that he used to work outside and would eat the food I cooked when he came back for lunch? He was already busy working and didn’t have time to cook all day.”

"Really? Then I'll have to try your cooking." Lin Shuyue rubbed her hands together, her face full of anticipation.

"Don't worry, you'll definitely have a great time," Ye Yun said confidently.

…………

Back home, Ye Yun carried a large bag of things to the kitchen and took out all the vegetables. Lin Shuyue was in charge of picking and chopping the vegetables, while he set up the pot and heated the oil to prepare the cooking.

First, cut the chicken into pieces. After the oil is hot, put the chicken into the pot and take it out after two or three minutes.

Next, put the fermented soybean paste into the pot, along with garlic cloves, ginger, scallions, and other seasonings, and stir-fry the fermented soybean paste until the oil turns red. Then add soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, and other seasonings.

Then comes the fried chicken, followed by diced potatoes, and finally, chili peppers.

Watching Ye Yun skillfully stir-fry the food, Lin Shuyue was stunned. This younger brother-in-law had so many surprising qualities that surprised her.

After stir-frying, cover the pot and simmer for a while, then the braised chicken is ready.

Looking at the fragrant potato and chicken pieces in the small bowl, Lin Shuyue suddenly felt unbearably hungry. She couldn't wait to reach out and touch it, only to get burned.

"Be careful, use chopsticks," Ye Yun reminded him.

Lin Shuyue put her burned finger in her mouth; it still had some sauce on it, and the sauce alone smelled delicious.

Ye Yun picked up a piece of chicken with her chopsticks and held it to Lin Shuyue's lips. She carefully blew on it, then opened her mouth, bit into it, and chewed it with relish.

"How does it taste?" Ye Yun asked.

"It smells so good, it's the best I've ever eaten." Lin Shuyue nodded and gave him a thumbs up.

"It's alright, sister-in-law. If you like it, I can make it for you every day," Ye Yun said with a hint of pride.
