When the two saw You Bin, their eyes lit up, thinking that he was here to rescue them.
But when they saw that Mrs. Ye was following behind You Bin, their expressions changed immediately.
Mrs. Ye didn't notice it herself, but You Bin, who was standing in front of her, saw it all.
His face suddenly darkened and he asked, "You two have been in jail for such a long time, are you still so unrepentant?
"Xiao Ying'er has helped you a lot in the past, and this is how you treat her now?"
Unexpectedly, when he stood up for Mrs. Ye, he aroused the dissatisfaction of You Dehai and You Detao.
The two of them started accusing each other.
"Dad, I originally thought you were here to save us, but now that I see you bringing Xiao Ying'er with you, we don't expect anything more!"
"That's right. You've been partial to Xiaoying'er since she was little. Other families treat their sons as treasures. So our family is less valuable because we have more sons than daughters, right?"
You Bin was completely confused by what the two men said. His eyes, which had been unable to open due to sagging eyelids due to his old age, were now wide open, as if he had heard something shocking.
"What the hell are you two talking about? Am I not good enough for you two brothers?
"From childhood to adulthood, have I lacked food for you or clothes for you?
"When you two got married, I built you a new house with its own entrance and courtyard. It's the only one of its kind in the village, right?
"You went out to start your own businesses, and I gave each of you thirty taels of silver.
"Xiao Ying'er's wedding didn't even cost her twenty taels of silver.
"Xiaoying'er didn't even blame me for being partial, so what else are you dissatisfied with?"
Unexpectedly, the two brothers You Dehai and You Detao said in unison: "You have taught all your skills to Xiao Ying'er!
Seeing You Bin's puzzled look, You Dehai snorted coldly and said, "Xiao Ying'er can open a restaurant on her own in the capital. What can we two brothers do?"
"You said you would build us a house, but now it has collapsed.
"If you hadn't given us thirty taels of silver per family, we would have spent it all long ago.
You Detao followed up with, "That's right, there's nothing left of what you gave us.
"But the skills you taught Xiao Ying'er are the foundation of her lifelong livelihood."
"Other families' skills are passed down from father to son, but in our family, it's the other way around. We pass the skills down from father to daughter. This is something we've never heard of before!"
"Dad, you're really shrewd! When we were little, you actually thought it was too hard for Xiaoying'er to learn cooking. We both wanted to play around and didn't want to learn! This was all planned long ago, right?"
Although You Bin kept saying in front of others that he had no intention of letting his two sons go.
But there is always a trace of worry and concern in my heart.
But now the two brothers were talking to each other more and more excitedly, and every word was like a sharp blade, cutting off the few remaining traces of reluctance and concern in You Bin's heart one by one.
What's the point of having a son like this?
You Bin now even felt that it was a huge joke for him to risk the anger of Mr. Cen and come to see the two of them.
The jailer stood by with a lamp in his hand and didn't leave. He and Meng Yu both stared at You Bin nervously.
Although they didn't know each other and had no communication, they were thinking the same thing at this moment.
Could it be that Mr. You feels sorry for his son and wants to withdraw the lawsuit?
Meng Yu was worried about this matter because he was afraid that Mr. Cen would be angry when he found out.
The jailer had the same concerns at this time, but the reason was that Prince Rui was personally in charge of this case.
Mr. Cen had already promised that this case would be prosecuted to the end.
The prefect has already done a lot of preliminary work for this, and is even preparing to spread this case as a warning to the world to be filial and treat the elderly well, so that children in the world who are not good to their parents can take it as a warning.
But in order to achieve such an effect, You Dehai and You Detao must be severely punished, otherwise the purpose of making people learn from them will not be achieved.
Even the prefect was ready to treat this case as his own political achievement.
If he lets the person in to meet You Bin at this time just because he is greedy for this little money, and causes You Bin to change his mind, won't the prefect skin him alive?
Thinking of this, the jailer couldn't help but shudder, and asked Meng Yu beside him in a low voice with some concern.
"Little brother, please don't hurt me, why does your old man look like he's going to regret it?
"I let you in out of kindness to meet you, but I didn't want you to cause me such a big mess!"
Meng Yu was also confused in his heart. When he heard the jailer's question, he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Fortunately, the jailer's voice was loud enough to be heard by You Bin in front of him.
"Don't worry, I won't regret it!" You Bin straightened his back and looked at his two sons locked in cages in front of him, his eyes and heart full of disappointment.
"Forget it, Xiao Ying'er, let's go." You Bin shook his head and said, "I originally thought there might be some misunderstanding, but I really didn't expect that you two were such greedy evil spirits. I will pass on my skills to whoever I want, and there is no need for you to worry about me.
"Xiao Ying'er has achieved such success now, and her status is higher than mine. How could it be possible that I taught her?" You Bin said bitterly, "As the saying goes, a teacher can only lead you to the door, but the practice is up to you.
“Not to mention that I was insane at the time, and I was exiled from the capital to the borderlands just because I was learning cooking.
"That's why your mother has been protecting you two, not allowing you two to get close to me, and even more so not allowing me to teach you two how to cook.
“Although I was crazy at the time, I also had a vague feeling that it wasn’t a good thing for a man to be too good at cooking, as it could easily lead to trouble.
"But Xiaoying'er is a girl. After she gets married, she will take care of her husband and children and be filial to her parents-in-law. I taught her some cooking skills, so she can use them and it won't be a waste..."
“However, these were my thoughts when I was confused and ignorant.
"Now that I hear you say this, I realize I was really wrong back then."
Mrs. Ye felt nervous when she heard this. Could it be that her father regretted passing on the skills to her instead of his sons?
But then I heard Mr. You say angrily: "With the minds and temperaments of the two of you, you won't be able to learn cooking from me even if you learn from me, let alone surpass me.
"I'm absolutely certain now that even if I had passed on my skills to you two back then, you would still be in the same state you are in by the time you reach middle age, and you wouldn't be able to make any real difference."
After scolding his two sons, You Bin turned around and walked out.
Meng Yu and Mrs. Ye hurried to catch up.
The jailer was stunned for a moment, then quickly chased after him and asked, "Mr. You, aren't you going to see the child?"
