Chapter 4

~8 min read 1,522 words

Hearing his father's question, Ye Yaodong glanced at him sideways, shook his leg, and said in a slouchy manner: "Just because you don't know doesn't mean I don't know, right? I don't hang out outside all day for nothing!"

Originally wanting to ask him a few serious questions, Ye Fu got angry when he heard this: "Hanging out outside all day, and you're still acting smug? You're already married, yet you don't stay home all day, you're lazy and scattered, you don't do anything, who are you waiting to support you? I'll beat you to death, you coffin-born, you prodigal thing..."

The more he spoke, the angrier he got. While speaking, Ye Fu took off his shoe, held it in his hand, and stepped forward to beat him.

Originally, Ye Fu felt uncomfortable because the large yellow croakers were sold cheaply, and now he just happened to catch an opportunity to vent his anger!

"Hey hey hey... why do you change your face as soon as you say so? Weren't we talking properly just now? What did I say? Dad... Dad... let's talk properly..."

In the middle of summer, the smell in the liberation shoes rushed toward him, scaring Ye Yaodong's face to change drastically. Just because his own feet were smelly didn't mean he could smell other people's foot odor!

He hurriedly stood up in a panic to avoid: "Dad, what are you doing? You should at least take a stick, what's the deal with taking a shoe?"

"If you have the guts, don't hide. You only know how to anger people all day long. Even your grandson is more obedient than you. You don't live a good life and hang out with a group of people all day. How did I give birth to such a coffin-born thing like you!"

The two of them chased and dodged. The main hall was not big to begin with, and there were many people, so Ye Yaodong directly scurried behind his mother.

"Mom, look, Dad is going crazy early in the morning. What did I say? You shouldn't let him drink today..."

Who knew that Ye Mu also turned her head angrily and slapped him a few times: "Your dad is not wrong. You don't stay home all day, you don't know what happened at home, you don't have a proper shape all day, you are idling, see how you will support your wife and children in the future..."

With the parents beating him together, Ye Yaodong couldn't resist and hurriedly lifted the wooden stool beside him to block: "Stop hitting, stop hitting, whose family beats their son early in the morning? Can't we talk properly if we have something to say? There are so many people in the room..."

Can't you save him some face?

He also wants face!

Fortunately, the juniors were all driven out by him, otherwise how ugly it would be!

In fact, everyone in the room was already used to it. Ye Yaodong being criticized and beaten was a common occurrence, but he had just returned from 40 years later and was just not used to being beaten and scolded by his father and mother!

He held the stool in the main hall to block for a while, but found that his mother had already picked up a broom, the kind made of bamboo strips. He hurriedly put down the stool and ran outside.

If he doesn't leave now, when will he? Avoid the limelight first and come back after his father and mother have calmed down.

Who knew that as soon as he ran out, he bumped into a few nephews and nieces. The children were unprepared, and after being bumped, they fell directly to the ground on their butts, and even his Grandma was implicated and sat down without standing firm.

Now he was a bit panicked and hurriedly went to help his Grandma up.

"Grandma, are you okay? Where did you fall? Does it hurt?"

Although he was a bit of a scoundrel, he still had a bit of conscience. The old lady loved him the most, and seeing her fall, he couldn't care about dodging.

Ye Fu and Ye Mu chased out and saw it, and they didn't hold back at all. The soles of their shoes and the broomstick directly slapped his butt and thighs, while scolding.

"You coffin-born thing, you don't have eyes when you walk. I'll break your dog legs, see if you still run!" Ye Fu slapped a few times with the sole of his shoe but was not satisfied, snatched the stick from Ye Mu's hand, and hit his leg hard a few times.

Ye Fu's strength was not something Ye Mu could compare to. After all, Ye Mu still loved her son and didn't use much strength when hitting people.

Ye Fu was different. He was really angry and very annoyed. One stick hit his leg, and he groaned in pain.

How could the old lady see her precious grandson being beaten? She hurriedly protected him behind her: "What are you doing? What are you doing? Are you going to beat me? Have you rebelled? Ouch~ the son is going to beat his mother, did you eat gunpowder early in the morning~"

Ye Fu looked at the old lady with a headache. He hadn't even touched her: "Mom, how would I dare to beat you? I'm going to beat this rabbit cub. He's useless, only knows how to anger people, and even bumped into you..."

"Dongzi was just careless. I didn't blame him, is it your turn to beat him? Hurry up and put the broom away for me and go into the house. Isn't it shameful!"

Don't look at the old lady who is 80 years old, her body looks very strong, her ears are not deaf, her eyes are not blind, and she is full of energy when she scolds people!

Ye Fu is a filial son. Seeing the old lady back, he knew that he couldn't beat his son today. He glared at Ye Yaodong fiercely, threw the broom into the corner of the door, and went into the house.

"Don't be afraid, Grandma is here. Did you get hurt anywhere? Let me see."

Saying that, the old lady was about to lift his trouser leg. He reached out to stop her, supported her arm, and grinned: "I'm fine. Did you fall and hurt yourself just now? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?"

"No, no, I'm fine..."

"Mom, Dongzi is already 25, not a child anymore, and is already the father of two children. You can't spoil him like this anymore. He doesn't learn well all day, doesn't do any work, and is so useless..."

"Where did he not learn well? Isn't he quite filial? How much success do you want him to have? In our country family, it's fine if the children are safe and healthy. Besides, Dongzi has never done anything like stealing chickens or dogs, where did he lose face for you?"

Ye Yaodong was very ashamed. In the old lady's mouth, even not stealing chickens or dogs had become his advantage!

The old lady's requirements for him are really low...

After so many years, having said it dozens of times, Ye Mu was also very tired. In the old lady's eyes, Third Son is good everywhere!

It was really spoiled by the old lady!

How diligent are the eldest and second brothers, it's really infuriating. She glared at her third son fiercely, and Ye Mu stopped talking.

Anyway, after so many years, it's useless no matter what they say.

The group of children picked up the corn and green-skinned cucumbers scattered on the ground and put them into the bamboo basket.

Seeing that the old lady was not hurt and could still protect people, Ye Mu took the basket, took out the corn to peel, and put the green-skinned cucumbers back into the basket.

"Take it in and tell your mother to wash it and cut it for you to eat."

"Leave one for your Third Uncle, you are not allowed to eat it all!" The old lady shouted, fearing that the few great-grandchildren would eat all the sweet melons and not leave any for her precious grandson.

Ye Yaodong's heart was filled with his Grandma's love, and his mood was a bit excited.

Having not felt it for decades, this feeling is too good.

Everyone thinks he is bad everywhere, and even his father and mother don't like him in their daily lives. Only his Grandma has always loved him the most and thinks of leaving him a bite to eat whenever she has one. His heart was filled with mixed feelings.

"I'll help you in. You're at such an age, why are you still farming? What if you fall, what should you do?"

The old lady's old face wrinkled into a ball with a smile: "How could it be so easy to fall? I'm very good and can still work. Even if I can't work, I can order your dad to wield a hoe and water for me."

Ye Yaodong smiled.
