During famine years, I had a divination slip in hand, and my whole family ate chicken, duck, fish, a

We need to find a way to get a weapon that can be used for hunting.

Fortunately, she had just caught four big, fat rabbits, and she didn't expect to catch a roe deer today.

As long as the snare is put down, it's the same if we come back to collect the goods tomorrow.

The silly roe deer looked around for a while, and probably thought that nothing was wrong, so it relaxed its vigilance and lowered its head to continue eating the dry grass.

"Clatter..."

Ye Qingqing tiptoed closer, but still stepped on a dead branch.

The silly roe deer suddenly sprang up and ran for its life into the woods.

After running a few steps, it stopped and looked back. Ye Qingqing hid behind a tree and didn't move. Unexpectedly, after looking back for a while, it came back and started munching on the grass.

"It really is a silly roe deer!"

Ye Qingqing laughed and cursed inwardly, then picked up a twig and scared it away.

She walked around the area where the roe deer had been grazing, and following her father's instructions, she set up a snare with a cowhide tendon where the silly roe deer had been eating the withered grass.

My father said that the reason why roe deer are called roe deer is because they are too simple-minded. They like to stay in one place to find food and will not leave until they have eaten all the grass.

Ye Qingqing tightly tied one end of the lasso to the tree, buried some withered leaves, and sprinkled coarse salt on top, which wild animals love to lick.

"Alright! Tomorrow, I'll show you the realities of everyday life."

She patted the dirt off her hands and turned to go down the mountain.

Little did she know that in the dense forest behind her, a pair of sinister and ruthless eyes were secretly watching her back.

As soon as she returned to the village, several aunties and older women saw her and started pointing and whispering, their eyes filled with an indescribable strangeness.

Ye Qingqing frowned.

They all looked pale and sickly, and the corn soup in the pot was so thin you could see your reflection in it. How could they still have the energy to gossip about others?

I'm not as hungry anymore.

"Second Girl, why are you only just getting back!"

A woman from the same village, who was close to Li Chunyan, rushed over and said, "You'd better go home quickly! The Fang family has sent a lot of people to your house, looking very aggressive, saying they want to break off the engagement!"

Break off the engagement?

Ye Qingqing's eyes lit up; she couldn't have asked for more!

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Without saying a word, she took off running home.

Pushing open the door, the house was a chaotic mess, filled with Fang family members.

Ye Dali, holding a pitchfork, stood directly in front of the Fang family.

Ye Cuicui hugged Xiao Huanhuan and hid behind him, looking very nervous.

Li Chunyan, with one hand on her hip, was shouting at Fang Jincheng's mother, Zou Shi, as they exchanged insults.

"Bullshit! It's your son who's shameless. He's engaged but still cheats on his wife. What right do you have to call my second daughter despicable!"

You're the one who's despicable! Your whole family is despicable!

"My son is destined to be the top scholar in the imperial examinations! And what's wrong with your wretched girl? Not only does she refuse to pay for his education, but she also beats my son!"

With a rough face, Zou cursed loudly, "Look what you've done to my son! Half of his face is swollen. How are you going to get him into the academy?"

He woke up feeling dizzy today. If he accidentally hurts my son's head, we couldn't afford to compensate you even if we sold your whole family!

"I don't care, pay up! Give me four taels of silver for my son's schooling for a year, or I'm breaking off the engagement!"

"Compensate? Bah! Four taels of silver? His face is way too big! A pig's head isn't even worth four taels of silver!"

Li Chunyan opened her mouth and spat all over her face.

"Why didn't my second daughter beat him to death! He cheated on his wife and he thinks he's in the right? Let me tell you, even if you don't come to break off the engagement, my second daughter will still come to your door and demand it be dissolved!"

Ye Qingqing stood at the back of the crowd, watching with a smile on her face.

I must say, my sister-in-law is quite good at cursing; she just doesn't have that kind of eloquence.

Zou wiped her face, glared at him, and spat.

"That piece of trash from your family, she's always chasing after my son to fawn over him, and she even wants to break off the engagement with my family."

Stop trying to hide your shamelessness like a toad under the table!

"Let me tell you, if you don't pay my family four taels of silver today, I'll make sure no one in your family gets away with this!"

"Who are you calling trash? My second daughter is perfectly fine, you piece of trash, everyone else is trash in your eyes! You're the trash, you shameless bastard!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chunyan immediately became anxious, her eyebrows and eyes bulging, as if she wanted to scratch Old Lady Fang's face until it was covered in bruises. "If you dare to utter another word, I'll tear your face to shreds!"

Relying on the large number of people she brought, Zou slapped her chest and boasted.

"Come on! Come on, show me your face! I've given you face and you still dare to tear me apart?"

Behind her stood four or five men from the Fang family, glaring menacingly at the Ye family members.

Seeing that there were many people in the group, Li Chunyan felt a little uneasy and unconsciously took a step closer to Ye Dali, still verbally attacking him.

"So what if you have a lot of people? You've come to our village! If I called out, let's see if you can get out of here!"

Ye Youliang was unable to move and could only cling to the windowsill, his old face turning ashen with anger.

"I won't allow you to insult my daughter! Dali, Yan'er, go get some men! If that woman insults Er Yatou again, beat her to death! I'll pay for it with my life!"

As soon as Zou arrived, she gave him, the father, a thorough dressing-down, which he silently endured.

But now that they're insulting his daughter, that's unacceptable!

"Father! Sister-in-law! Brother! I'm back."

Having enjoyed the spectacle, Ye Qingqing pushed through the crowd and entered with a relaxed expression.

Upon seeing this, Zou's rough face immediately fell, and her finger almost poked Ye Qingqing's nose.

"You dare come back? You brat, look what you've done to my son!"

Ye Qingqing slapped her hand away and sighed, "Don't say anymore, I regret it so much..."

That brat is indeed devoted to her son; she got scared as soon as she saw him coming to break off the engagement!

A smug look flashed across Zou's face, followed by a disdainful sneer.

"Hmph, you're only now realizing your mistake? Too late!"

"Second Girl, you..."

Li Chunyan and Ye Dali stared at each other, and Li Chunyan almost couldn't catch her breath.

So even though she was cursing on behalf of Er Yatou until her voice was hoarse, the other party was still siding with outsiders.

Ye Cuicui looked at her second sister in surprise, a wave of sadness washing over her.

Why is my second sister the same as before?

Is she so desperate for a man?

"yes……"

Ye Qingqing said quietly, "I really regret not slapping him to death. You all came to my house and made a scene, it's so embarrassing!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Chunyan and Ye Cuicui's eyes lit up simultaneously.

"What did you say?!"

Zou glared and immediately flew into a rage, "You brat, stop trying to act all high and mighty in front of me!"

You're engaged to my son, and you'll depend on him for food in your next life. How dare you hit him!

"I shouldn't have hit him."

Ye Qingqing shook her head and sighed deeply. "He wants to take the imperial examination to become a scholar, right? I should kick him in the crotch so he'll give up thinking about women and focus on his studies!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Chunyan glared at her, clicked her tongue, and muttered something that was both angry and amused.

"Second sister, don't be silly! Why do you blurt things out like that!"

Cui Cui blushed with embarrassment and dared not look up at her second sister.
