Mrs. Ye is a woman after all, and she is holding a child in her arms. She cannot compare with Boss Shan in terms of speed or physical strength.
"Why are you stealing my child? Give it back to me!" Boss Shan's voice exploded behind her ears like thunder.
Mrs. Ye was so frightened that she trembled all over. She didn't even bother to look back. She held her breath and ran back to her resting place before she breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Second Sister Ye came forward and asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you running? Are you being chased by wild dogs?"
Before he could finish his words, Boss Shan came chasing after him in a panic.
He fell several times along the way, not only did his pants get torn, but he also hit his head on a big rock.
Boss Shan already had a ferocious look on his face, and now with blood all over his face, he looked even more terrifying.
Brother Ye immediately stepped forward, protecting his wife behind him, and asked, "What's going on?"
Although the other three brothers didn't say anything, they all picked up sticks and stood behind Boss Ye to help.
Boss Shan took two steps back and said, "Boss Ye, first ask your wife what she did! Return my daughter to me!"
Mrs. Ye said anxiously, "Master, you can't give it to him! He's a worthless person. He wants to trade Qingtian for someone else's child to eat!"
Upon hearing this, the four brothers of the Ye family were extremely shocked.
I've heard of this kind of thing, but I never thought it would happen to me.
Ye Lao Er and Ye Lao Si were hot-blooded and impatient, and they couldn't help but roll up their sleeves, ready to go up and beat the guy up.
Mrs. Ye held the emaciated Qingtian in her arms. Her motherly love overflowed like a river. She was unwilling to return the child to him and let him spoil it. She gritted her teeth and said, "You just want food, right? I'll trade it with you for food!"
Shan Laoda immediately opened his mouth and said, "Then I want a bag of corn and a bag of rhubarb rice!"
"Bah!" Ye Laosi spat and cursed, "You look like rhubarb rice!"
"I raised her to this age, so I have to..." Before Shan Lao Da could finish his words, he was frightened by Ye Lao Si's huge fist and said timidly, "Then, then a bag of yellow rice!"
"A bag of corn!" Boss Ye made the final decision. "That's enough. Don't be so shameless!"
It has been nearly half a month since we fled from famine. Who can still have such a rare commodity as rhubarb rice?
Those who could still afford dried corn kernels were considered well-off families.
Shan Lao Da couldn't beat him, so he finally compromised: "Okay then!"
"Old Four, go get him a bag of corn!"
Ye Laosi ran to the cart, pulled out a full bag of corn, and was about to leave when his wife, Guo, grabbed him and asked, "There's still half a bag left. Why did you take the whole bag? This is all we have left!"
"My eldest brother asked me to take it." Ye Laosi took the food and left.
Guo hurriedly followed to find out what was going on, only to see Ye Lao Si handing the bag of corn to Shan Lao Da.
Mrs. Ye immediately said, "Qingtian is my daughter from now on. She has nothing to do with your family anymore!"
"I already have my own children, who cares!" Boss Shan weighed the pocket in his hand and walked away contentedly.
The Guo family was immediately furious. During the period of fleeing famine, food was life!
After this bag of corn is taken away, there is only half a bag left at home. How many days will it be enough for so many people to eat?
"Sister-in-law, what are you crazy about? You're going to exchange so much food for a half-dead girl?"
Ye Lao Si grabbed Guo and said, "What are you arguing about? How can you talk to your sister-in-law like that?"
"What's wrong with me talking?" Guo said angrily, "The whole family is tightening their belts and saving money on food, but she's so generous, she just opens her mouth and gives out a bag of food."
As she spoke, she tried to gather some allies: "Second sister-in-law, Third sister-in-law, please judge for yourself. Am I wrong?"
Mrs. Ye said calmly, "We can't just stand by and watch someone die."
Sister-in-law Ye was even more sharp-tongued: "Big brother and sister-in-law have contributed the most over the years. First, they helped our parents raise our younger brother and marry him, and then helped his younger brothers raise their children. What's wrong with using a bag of corn?
"Besides, that corn is from last year's harvest. You've only been here a few days. We have no objections. It's none of your business!"
Mrs. Guo didn't expect that she would be the one being criticized. She stomped her feet in anger and went back to the car to complain to Old Lady Ye.
Mrs. Ye was worried: "Master, we didn't tell mother in advance, will it be..."
"It's okay, Mom has long told us to bring home any baby we find good.
"I think it's nice to have sunny days. Our family is full of little brats, and now we finally have a little cotton-padded jacket!"
Sister Ye became happy, looked into her arms and said, "Qingtian, we will be your parents from now on, do you understand?"
Qingtian blinked and before he could say anything, he was surrounded by five brats.
"Get back! Don't scare my daughter!" Boss Ye gave each of them a slap on the face before leaving. "Qingtian is my younger sister. From now on, all of you must act like older brothers. Play with your younger sister and protect her well. Got it?"
"My sister is so thin!" Ye Changrui, the oldest one, said worriedly.
The neck is not even as thick as my arm and it looks like it will break if I’m not careful. Can I really take it out to play?
The three little ones were much more heartless and kept yelling at the top of their lungs.
Ye Changxue: "Sister, I'm the second brother!"
Ye Changzhao: "I am the third brother..."
The youngest, Ye Changnian, couldn't squeeze in, so he could only jump up and down and shout, "I, I'm a brother too!"
Only the fourth child, Ye Changfeng, showed disdain: "What's so good about my sister? She's skinny and ugly, who would want her?"
Qingtian had never seen such a scene before and was completely stunned.
Mrs. Shan always said how difficult it was for her family to raise her, and they hoped that she would grow up and get married to earn a dowry so that they could marry her for her younger brother.
Now there are five older brothers in this new family.
