Ye Beiping understood Su Xinyi's meaning, but still smiled and shook his head: "I'm not going anywhere today, I'll stay with you."
"But......"
Before Su Xinyi could finish speaking, Ye Beiping immediately interrupted, "I said that even if the sky falls, I'll stay with you today. Tomorrow we'll go to your maternal grandfather's house, pay our respects, and stay at home for a day. The day after tomorrow we'll go back to Hangzhou to pay our respects to your parents."
Upon hearing this, Su Xinyi was suddenly deeply moved.
It's a traditional custom for a son-in-law to visit his father-in-law's family for the New Year. The fact that Ye Beiping could think of these things from such a distance is enough to prove his thoughtfulness.
However, she still asked with slight concern, "But aren't you worried that something might happen to Sister Xiaoxin?"
Ye Beiping raised an eyebrow: "What, aren't you afraid I'll go over there and cause trouble?"
"This..." Okay, I've said too much.
Su Xinyi looked speechlessly at the man beside her, and could only be helped to walk towards home.
Pingba Village, Ye Sheng's home.
When Ye Xiaoxin and the other two arrived at the scene, Ye Sheng's house had already been blocked by He Tao.
The neighbors all came out to watch the show.
He Tao looked at Jiang Enhua in front of him and said, "I came here to block your door on the first day of the Lunar New Year because you were all at home. Ye Sheng beat up my dad. Aren't you going to pay for his medical expenses and such?"
“We have no money.” Jiang Enhua immediately refused when money was mentioned.
Money is her life; without money, it would be better to lose her life.
He Tao's eyes hardened as he saw Jiang Enhua refusing to listen to reason and instead choosing to suffer the consequences: "Jiang Enhua, don't think you can get away with what you did to my dad. If you don't have money today, you'd better hand it over to me, or you'll regret it."
The harsh threat startled Jiang Enhua, Ye Dongnan, and Ye Xiaohui.
Yesterday was Lunar New Year's Eve, and Ye Dongnan and Ye Xiaohui heard about Jiang Enhua.
But they didn't believe it.
They only began to have doubts when Ye Sheng did not return.
Finally, when He Tao came knocking on their door, they had no choice but to believe that Jiang Enhua really did have some kind of relationship with He Yongshou.
Looking at the crowd gathered outside the door, Ye Dongnan felt extremely embarrassed. His face darkened as he asked, "Mom, is what he said true?"
"Southeast..." Faced with her son's questioning, Jiang Enhua's eyes suddenly reddened, and she said aggrievedly, "Don't you believe your mother? Don't you believe them?"
"Heh." Ye Dongnan knew his mother well, and chuckled coldly. He glanced around and found that the villagers of the dozen or so were already talking about it in private.
Hou Baolin, Wu Di, and Ye Xiaoxin were even spotted in the crowd.
Hearing that they had discovered his mother's affair with He Yongshou, his eyes immediately turned sinister, staring intently at Ye Xiaoxin like a venomous snake.
Ye Xiaoxin felt uncomfortable looking at it and could only purse her lips and whisper, "What are you looking at?"
Wu Di, who was standing to the side, naturally heard these words. He looked up and saw Ye Dongnan looking in their direction. He stepped forward to block Ye Dongnan's view and glared back with a fierce look.
Before Ye Dongnan could make a move, He Tao waved his hand, and the thugs who had come with him grabbed wooden sticks and stepped forward to attack Jiang Enhua and the others.
"I want to see if your words are tougher or my stick is tougher. Beat him."
"Wait." A voice suddenly came from afar.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Wu Guangfa and Hou Yongping.
Hou Baolin frowned, stepped forward and asked, "Dad, Uncle Wu, what brings you here?"
"Get away from me." Hou Yongping shoved Hou Baolin away, his tone full of reproach.
If it weren't for those younger kids, this whole mess wouldn't have happened today.
Now that Ye Sheng is not at home, they, as village and brigade cadres, are naturally there to resolve the matter.
Wu Guangfa ignored Hou Baolin and walked directly to He Tao, frowning as he said, "He Tao, wasn't your father's matter resolved at the police station yesterday? What are you doing here today? Do you really think Pingba Village is easy to bully?"
“Yes, He Tao, no matter what, resorting to violence is definitely wrong. If you make a move today, we'll have no choice but to call the police,” Hou Yongping chimed in from behind.
Seeing the two people step forward, He Tao's men hesitated.
A long-haired thug walked up to He Tao and asked, "Brother Tao, what should we do? Should we...?"
He Tao naturally understood what Changfa meant. He glared fiercely at Wu Guangfa and Hou Yongping and cursed, "Damn it, Wu Guangfa, Hou Yongping, I know you're cadres. You've resolved yesterday's matter, but I haven't. Ye Sheng's medical expenses weren't paid yesterday, and my dad is still in the hospital. I can't swallow this."
"You can call the police if you want, but if you can't beat them up, I'll beat them up today and then we'll go to the police station and explain the situation so the medical expenses can be paid off."
hiss!
The entire audience gasped.
Jiang Enhua and her two children trembled. He Tao, who had a notorious reputation, said he would beat them up, and he would definitely do it.
The three of them could only look to Wu Guangfa and Hou Yongping for help.
Now only those two cadres can speak up.
Wu Guangfa frowned. Everyone had lost money yesterday, but Ye Sheng's family hadn't. It was normal for them to come and ask for money.
Thinking of this, he said to Jiang Enhua, "Ye Sheng's wife, you see, this matter is your family's fault. The police station said they have to compensate for the money. If you compensate, then everything will be fine, right?"
"Hmph." He Tao put his hands on his hips and snorted coldly when he saw that Wu Guangfa had spoken up for him.
Little did they know that the moment Jiang Enhua mentioned money, she immediately went into a frenzy, saying, "Dream on! It was Ye Sheng who did it, why should we pay for it?"
