Ye Peng watched Ye Jin'er's retreating figure without hesitation, as if struck by a heavy blow.

She hates him now...

With such blatant disgust, he didn't even have the slightest chance...

Ye Caiping watched Ye Jin'er's retreating figure with a sense of relief.

Her teachings and guidance over the past year have not been in vain.

Mrs. Wei was also devastated, realizing that things were already hopeless!

But the responsibility for this cannot be placed on her...

Wei was filled with fear and resentment: "It's all an excuse! You've become rich and powerful, so you don't recognize us anymore! You'll make up any excuse to kick my Peng'er away."

"Last time you even made up some nonsense, saying that cousins ​​getting married would result in children being mentally challenged! Wasn't that the excuse you gave us?"

"What? Cousins ​​getting married will produce an idiot?" Upon hearing this, the villagers were in an uproar, looking at Ye Caiping with shock and incomprehension.

A woman in her thirties said, "How could that be? My husband is my cousin, and all four of our children are doing well!"

Tie Niu's wife said nervously, "Cai Ping, this... you can't joke about this. My sister is planning to marry her daughter to my family in the mountains."

When Ms. Wei saw that Ye Caiping was being questioned, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Ye Caiping nodded calmly: "I saw this in a book."

"Do you all remember how I taught you to eat cassava last year? I learned this method from a book. When I bought that book, I also bought another one."

The villagers fell silent upon hearing this. Another book with cassava? That should be quite credible.

Ye Caiping said, "It was a medical book, but I don't know anything about medicine, so I didn't understand anything. But there was one thing I remembered. It said that there is a 50% chance that cousins ​​within three generations who marry will have a child who is mentally challenged or sick."

"Although this claim is strange, it's better to believe it than not. I'm willing to believe it, so I would never agree to my children marrying each other."

"Whether people agree or not is a matter of opinion. I won't force anyone to agree with my views, but I will stop my children from doing so."

Half of the villagers listened, but they didn't believe it and dared not say anything.

After all, they were still receiving wages from Ye Caiping!

They just don't want their own children to marry like that. To put it bluntly, this is Ye Caiping's family matter, and it hasn't bothered them. What's there to blame them for?

Some villagers were on high alert: "It's better to be safe than sorry..."

Tie Niu's wife pondered, "No, I'll have to reject my sister later."

Ye Caiping's cold gaze fell on Wei Shi and Ye Peng, who were slumped on the ground.

Mrs. Wei was still crying there, feeling wronged: "Ungrateful! When your family was poor, my Peng'er even gave her eggs to eat! He would give them to her even if he didn't eat them himself... Now that you're rich and have seen the world, you've kicked us to the curb..."

Ye Caiping sneered: "What, are you trying to take advantage of his kindness? Yes, Jin'er accepted his eggs, but didn't she return the favor? Didn't she give him raspberries? But you chose not to see that, and even twisted her reciprocation into her keeping him hanging on!"

"Her raspberries may not be as precious as eggs. But she has done her best to repay him with all her heart. It's not enough, and over the past year, I, as her mother, have been repaying her debt on her behalf in an invisible way!"

As she spoke, she pointed in the direction of Ye Er's family:

“When I returned to my parents’ home, I gave my eldest and second brothers 30 taels each. Such a big brick and tile house, if it weren’t for me, Ye Caiping, you, Wei Siya, would never have been able to live in it in your entire life.”

"Besides that, I also give you work. It started at 30 coins a day, and later I gave you the whole delivery job. That's 24 taels a month. Look around, who else in the surrounding area can earn that much!"

The villagers all gasped: "My God, you can earn 24 taels a month just by delivering goods?"

“That’s not the most important thing. Caiping actually gave such a lucrative job to her two older brothers.”

"It's not like she can't afford to hire someone."

"Yes, she could have hired a few people to work, and they would only be paid a few taels of silver a month. But she gave them away to her two older brothers for nothing."

The villagers all looked at Ms. Wei on the ground with disdain.

Mrs. Wei's face grew paler and paler.

Ye Caiping continued, "Besides delivering goods, I also taught my second brother how to build a latrine, which enabled him to earn more than sixty taels a month. Adding that up, your family's income is more than ninety taels! Ask around in the entire Yue'an County how many people have that kind of income!"

"By now, you must have saved up four or five hundred taels of silver! How many eggs can you buy with four or five hundred taels?"

"You've accepted so many things from me, have you ever thought about how to repay me?"

As she listened to these words, Mrs. Wei's face turned pale and then red. She wanted to refute them, but she couldn't find a single point to refute them.

"You want to take advantage of my kindness, to exchange a few eggs for Jin'er's life? Fine! Then first, give me back these several hundred taels of silver, and this big brick house! Also, you'll lose your delivery job! And your business selling latrines will be gone too!"

"Go back to your good life of working in the fields every day!"

When Wei heard Ye Caiping say she wanted to take everything away, her face changed drastically: "You...you can't..."

"What's wrong with that! You think you can take my daughter's life with just a few eggs! I gave you several hundred taels of silver, and you could work like a slave for the rest of your life and still not be able to pay it back!"

"Repay? How can we ask her to repay! How can she repay!" Madam Wei's face turned deathly pale. She scrambled to her feet in a fluster and then turned and ran away!

It's as if escaping like this will solve everything.

The matchmaker and the person carrying the gifts who came with her had also left the crowd early on and disappeared without a trace.
