Xu Lanzhi was so worried about the safety of Lin Jiaping and Lin Jiahe that she somewhat neglected Liu Jianchang. Tang Chunya couldn't do anything about Xu Lanzhi, so she could only complain to Wang Shi.
Wang understood. It was true that Jiaping and Jiahe had spent a lot of money outside, but Xu Lanzhi implied that she had agreed to it all.
Wang, an elderly woman from the countryside, was considered quite enlightened in the village, but she really didn't understand business matters!
Tang Chunya kept complaining that Xu Lanzhi was biased. In the end, Jianchang was beaten for Xu Lanzhi's benefit, but she not only ignored it, but also cared about Xia He's two boys.
Wang comforted her, saying, "Jianchang is here perfectly fine, but Jiaping and Jiahe are nowhere to be seen. It's understandable that Lanzhi is anxious. As for the money, we should find them first. Jianchang has suffered a lot on the way, so let her rest well first!"
After Wang finished speaking, she left Tang Chunya and her son behind and went with Xu Lanzhi and the others to think of a solution for Jiaping and Jiahe!
Fortunately, Jiaping and Jiahe returned the next day with Li Degui and his group from Zuixian Pavilion.
When the two arrived at Tangjiagou and met Xu Lanzhi, they immediately knelt down and said sadly, "Grandmother and Aunt, we've caused a disaster! We've lost Cousin Jianchang!"
Xu Lanzhi asked calmly, "How could such a healthy person be lost?"
Jiahe hurriedly said, "Aunt, here's the thing. Didn't you ask us to keep an eye on the grain supply in Lanling, especially the price of wheat?"

After delivering the eggs, we started inquiring at various rice shops and grain stores in Lanling. By simply asking around, we could only find out the latest grain prices.
Jiaping and I thought about it and realized that we would have to pay a price to find out the inside information.
So, we deliberately got to know some of the managers at the grain stores. My cousin Jianchang kept saying we were wasting money and insisted that we let him hold onto our payments. He said some really nasty things, and I couldn't take it anymore, so I hit him and then left with Jiahe!
This matches what Liu Jianchang said. It seems the three children are quite honest. Xu Lanzhi then asked, "Since you left first and were rushing to catch the carriage, why did it take you so long to come back?"
Jiahe said sadly, "We were so angry at the time that we drove off. After walking for more than ten miles, we calmed down and realized that it was really wrong of us to leave our cousin Jianchang behind. So we went back to look for him, but we searched all over Lanling City and still couldn't find him. Aunt, I'm sorry, we've hurt our cousin Jianchang!"
Xu Lanzhi then smiled: "Get up quickly, you two silly boys, how could you fight with your cousin? Your cousin is back and at home now, go back and apologize to him!"
Jiaping and Jiahe were relieved to hear that Liu Jianchang was alright.
Tang Xiahe, who had been kept silent by Xu Lanzhi, finally had a chance to speak and chased after the two boys, yelling, "You little bastards, you've gone too far! How could you beat up your cousin and then leave him behind? I'll skin you alive today!"
Jiaping and Jiahe were chased relentlessly, with nowhere to hide, and their cries of agony filled the air.
Only then did Madam Wang speak up: "Alright, the two children have finally come back. Take them back first. But you two really deserved a beating for leaving your cousin behind. When you get back, whatever your aunt says, you two brats better listen carefully and don't talk back!"

Tang Xiahe grabbed one of her sons by the ear and asked, "Did you hear what your grandma said?"
"Ouch, Mom, be gentle, it hurts so much!" Jiahe cried out.
Jiaping frowned, his brows furrowed in pain, and said, "I know, Mom!"
Tang Xiahe dragged the two children to Xu Lanzhi's house and brought them directly to Tang Chunya, saying, "Big sister, these two rascals are back. I just asked them, and they did hit Jianchang and ran away on their own."
"After realizing what had happened, I went back to look for them, but couldn't find them. They were definitely in the wrong for hitting us. I'm handing them over to you now; you can punish them as you see fit!"
With Tang Xiahe's attitude so clear, Tang Chunya didn't have a good chance to lash out.
But when she thought about how Jianchang had practically begged his way back, her anger flared up again.
She gritted her teeth and said to Jiaping and Jiahe, "How could you two brothers be so heartless? Your cousin didn't do anything to wrong you. He just couldn't stand seeing you squander your aunt's hard-earned money. How could you bear to beat him up and then abandon him? He suffered so much on his journey. If anything happened to him, how would I live?"
Tang Chunya couldn't help but cry as she thought about what her son had gone through.
Tang Xiahe gave each of her two sons a heavy kick on the buttocks without any mercy, and cursed: "You good-for-nothings, kneel down to your aunt! You and Jianchang are cousins, that's family. You can fight and make a fuss, but to put your own family in danger is really infuriating! Luckily your cousin is alright, otherwise you would have to pay with your lives!"

After being scolded by Tang Xiahe, the two children hurriedly apologized to Tang Chunya and Liu Jianchang: "Auntie, cousin, we were wrong, we won't do it again. Cousin, we shouldn't have hit you, otherwise you can hit us back now, we promise we won't fight back!"
Xu Lanzhi now understands why Jiaping and Jiahe are so likable. Her second sister's values are exceptionally upright. Although she is protective of her children, she doesn't hesitate to forgive them when they make mistakes.
She wanted to say a few words for Jiaping and Jiahe, but she was afraid that Tang Chunya would think she was being biased and would instead focus on the two children, so she kept giving Wang Shi meaningful glances.
Wang Shi already doted on Jiaping and Jiahe, and after Tang Xiahe scolded and berated them, with the two children taking all the blame upon themselves, she was already heartbroken. She quickly helped the two children up, saying with a loving expression:
"Good child, get up quickly. We've already hit you and scolded you."
Chun Ya's teeth and tongue sometimes clash, so it's normal for her cousins to fight. Besides, they both went back to find Jian Chang; they're still thinking about their cousin, so don't take it to heart."
After saying that, she took Liu Jianchang's hand, put the three children's hands together, and said emotionally, "Children, your aunt and I are raising seven little girls. We will have to rely on you brothers to help us in the future. You must not do this again. If there is anything, talk it out!"
Liu Jianchang was a stubborn man. He said to Wang Shi, "Grandma, I don't blame my cousin for hitting me, but we really can't ignore their waste of money. How can they be so extravagant as to spend money on strangers!"
"Cousin, how many times have I told you? We're not wasting money. It's just for social obligations. We're only spending a small amount. We'll make big money in the future!" Jiahe said anxiously again.
"Who are you trying to fool!" Liu Jianchang remained stubborn.

Seeing that the three brothers were about to fight again, Xu Lanzhi smiled and said, "Alright, Auntie understands now. You are all good children. It was Auntie's arrangement that was inappropriate!"
