After drinking tea, Ye Jin strolled in the back mountain with Xiao Huo in his arms. From a distance, he saw Ye Xiaoli rushing towards him with her eyes covered.
"Xiao Li Xiao Li, what's wrong with you?"
"Jinjin, Jinjin..."
Ye Xiaoli burst into tears, and seeing Ye Jin was like seeing a life-saving straw.
"Don't cry, I'm here!"
Ye Jin hugged her tightly in her arms. Ye Xiaoli leaned on her shoulder and cried so hard that her whole body was twitching and she couldn't even speak complete sentences.
By the time Ye Xiaoli had cried enough, Ye Jin's shoulders were already soaked.
"What happened? Did your father force you to get married?"
Ye Jin calculated the time and found that it was several months earlier than expected. It seemed that her rebirth also had a butterfly effect, and many things had undergone subtle changes.
"My dad, my dad said he wants to marry me to Zhangjia Village! The betrothal gifts have already been received. Jinjin, what do you think I should do?"
Ye Xiaoli was sobbing, and Ye Jin gently patted her back to comfort her.
"Please explain the situation clearly. Which family in Zhangjia Village does your father want to marry you to? Have you found out? When will the wedding take place? How much do you expect in betrothal gifts?"
Ye Jin analyzed the whole thing in a clear and logical manner, and Ye Xiaoli realized that she knew nothing.
"I, I don't know. I was so angry that I ran away without asking anything. But no matter who I marry, I don't even know him. Why should I marry him?"
"You're really confused. You need to get to the bottom of things so we can prescribe the right remedy. Let me tell you..."
Ye Jin hugged Ye Xiaoli and whispered a few words to her. The person who was panicking just now slowly calmed down.
"Is this really useful? Oh, and here's the money I made from selling radishes today."
Ye Xiaoli stuffed all the money in her bag into Ye Jin's palm.
Ye Jin took out 20 yuan and gave it back to Ye Xiaoli without even counting it.
"This is for you."
Ye Xiaoli did not refuse this time. She held the 20 yuan tightly. Jinjin was right. She could earn so much in a day. Why should she marry herself off just for a few dozen yuan of betrothal gifts? It was not worth it at all!
"Jinjin, thank you. I was like a headless fly when I ran out crying just now. Now that I have your guidance, I have found my backbone."
"We are sisters. We agreed to share happiness and hardship. How can I watch you jump into the fire?"
The two were still talking in private, while Xiaohuo was pacing around them anxiously, making cooing sounds.
"Is this your little squirrel? It looks so cute, but it seems a little grumpy."
Ye Jin waved her hand, and Xiaohuo jumped onto her shoulder.
Ye Jin was originally very close to Ye Xiaoli, and when Xiaohuo jumped up, his pointed nose almost touched her chin.
The man and the squirrel stared at each other. The naughty Xiaohuo didn't move at this time. Ye Xiaoli didn't even raise her eyelids and just started to argue with it.
Ye Jin chuckled softly, she hadn't expected that this man and this rat would become enemies as soon as they met.
"Ye Xiaoli, why are you running? You're making it so hard for me to find you!"
Ye Zhifeng rushed forward, grabbed Ye Xiaoli's collar without saying a word, and dragged her back roughly.
Ye Xiaoli closed her eyes resigned to her fate. Her parents had always beaten and scolded her since she was a child. Under their intimidation, Ye Xiaoli rarely dared to resist.
The words "I won't marry" just now had exhausted all her strength. Now that she was dragged back by her father, she was no longer able to resist.
"Uncle, please stop!"
Ye Jin's weak body stood in front of Ye Zhifeng without hesitation.
"Get out of here! It's none of your business to meddle in my family affairs!"
"If it were someone else, I wouldn't meddle in their business, but Ye Xiaoli is my friend, and her business is my business, so I can't just ignore it!"
"Mind your own family affairs and watch your eyes. Don't let someone knock you out with a club while you're sleeping, or gouge your eyes out without you even noticing!"
"You're meddling in other people's affairs when you can't even protect yourself. I don't know whether I should call you stupid or you're stupid."
Ye Zhifeng also has a bad temper. Ye Jin's thin body and intolerant temper mean that nothing she does will end well.
"I will handle my own affairs, and I will also help my friends with theirs. This is my principle in life."
Ye Xiaoli closed her eyes, her cold heart gradually warmed up, and two lines of tears flowed out.
Ye Jin, who was even more timid than her before, now dares to stand up and speak for her. What reason does she have to be weak?
"Don't stand here and get in the way. If you piss me off, I'll beat you up too!"
Ye Zhifeng slapped over with a palm-leaf fan-like palm. Ye Jin dodged sideways, and Ye Xiaoli gritted her teeth and yelled.
"It's fine if you hit me, but why did you hit my friend?"
She broke free from her father's grip and bravely stood in front of Ye Jin.
"Poor children only care about having enough to eat, how can they have friends?"
When Ye Zhifeng saw that the person in front of him was Ye Xiaoli, he attacked even more ruthlessly.
Ye Xiaoli closed her eyes and was obviously very scared, but she did not dodge and was determined to stand in front of Ye Jin.
Ye Jin unexpectedly grabbed Ye Zhifeng's arm. Ye Zhifeng tried to break free twice but found that he couldn't get away.
The girl in front of me is so thin, how could she have so much strength?
"If you compare who has the harder fist, the elderly are not necessarily better than the young, and men are not necessarily stronger than women."
"I won't touch you because you're my friend's father, and because you're an old man. I respect the elderly and love the young. But there's one thing: if you cross my line, no matter who you are, I won't be polite to you!"
Ye Jin fiercely shook off Ye Zhifeng's hand. Ye Xiaoli's father was not angry at being bullied, but instead looked at Ye Jin with admiration.
"Jinjin, how did you do it? When did you become so powerful? I want to take you as my master!"
"With your devilish character, what else can you do besides crying? Any man who marries you will be unlucky for eight lifetimes!"
Ye Zhifeng never kept his mouth shut when scolding people. Ye Xiaoli's face turned red and she moved her lips several times but didn't know how to refute him.
"Ye Xiaoli is the best girl I have ever met. She is hardworking and uses her own hands to earn money to support herself."
"Whoever marries a woman like this will surely bring prosperity to three generations. If your uncle rashly marries her off for a tiny bit of profit, not only will her life be ruined, but your uncle will also lose a huge sum of money!"
Ye Jin's voice was so sonorous and powerful that Ye Zhifeng was stunned and his arrogance unconsciously weakened.
"Girls are all money-losing goods. When they reach a certain age, they should be married off immediately. Keeping them until they are unsaleable is a complete loss-making business!"
Ye Zhifeng felt that he was right. In order to prove her ability, Ye Xiaoli excitedly took out twenty yuan from her pocket.
"Dad, this is the money I've earned from my business. I can make money, I can support myself, and I can also give you money to spend. Please don't marry me off so early, okay?"
