The scene inside seemed to explode!

In this era, the rural people's lives are self-sufficient without any problems.

But saving money is really not easy.

In the whole Xiaodongping, there are only a few households that can produce one or two silver coins.

"Oh my, so much money! I didn't expect this Ye Gongzi to be a rich man!"

"My goodness, I thought he was just after the house. He casually throws around two hundred taels of silver, what's a house worth?"

"Has the Liu family struck gold? Did they find such a treasure?"

Some were surprised, some were envious, some were jealous...

Wang Zhijun's face was full of shame, looking at the shiny silver bills, his eyes were so envious that they were about to grow hooks.

Liu Dafeng looked at so much money and was stunned for more than ten breaths before coming back to his senses.

He pushed it away decisively and refused, "I can't accept it, I can't. I've said it before, the house is the dowry I'm giving to Yifei, I don't want a single penny.

Ye Gongzi, if you can have Yifei, I, Liu Dafeng, am already grateful. Why would I need any betrothal gifts?

Keep the money, there will be expenses in many places after you get married. As long as you treat Yifei well, I will be satisfied."

Saying this, he couldn't hold back his excitement and tears streamed down his face.

"Liu Uncle, please make sure to keep it. We can't let everyone look down on us!"

Ye Qingchen lowered his voice.

Liu Dafeng originally wanted to continue declining, but then he thought, I only have one daughter, if I accept this money, won't it be for my daughter in the future?

Moreover, accepting this money in front of everyone, both Ye Gongzi and my Liu family will have a lot of face.

With tears in his eyes, he accepted the silver bills.

Ye Qingchen turned around and walked to the edge of the street, looking at the disappointed crowd, he clasped his hands and said,

"Thank you all for giving me, Ye, face today and coming to support me. These girls who were not chosen today, each will receive five taels of silver, so that you didn't come here for nothing!"

After speaking, he took out a money bag and handed it to Wang Yuanfeng, saying,

"Uncle Wang, please distribute it to everyone. You and Aunt Wu will also receive five taels each!"

Wang Yuanfeng and Aunt Wu were also stunned on the spot, until Ye Qingchen forcefully stuffed the money bag into his hand, they came back to their senses.

Five taels of silver!

This is not a small amount in Xiaodongping.

Those girls who were not chosen, when they heard that there was silver to be had, they had no complaints. They all came forward to bow and express their gratitude.

Those families who didn't have eligible girls came to watch the excitement. At this moment, seeing everyone receiving silver, they were so envious that they wished they could go home and have a child right away.

Liu Yifei stood by her father's side, secretly looking at Ye Qingchen, her eyes filled with admiration and adoration.

She never expected that her destiny would undergo such a big change.

To actually meet such a good man!

Liu Dafeng was also happy, his beard trembling with satisfaction.

Villagers came in groups to congratulate Liu Dafeng, and many people revealed their flattery in their words.

"Ye Gongzi, I don't want the money!"

Ye Qingchen turned around and saw that it was Aunt Lu.

Behind her, Guan Xiaotong was pouting, her face covered in tears.

Aunt Lu handed the silver to Ye Qingchen and said, "Ye Gongzi, I beg you, please, please accept my daughter!"

Ye Qingchen was puzzled, "Aunt Lu, what do you mean?"

Aunt Lu sighed lightly, reached out and pulled open Guan Xiaotong's collar, and then rolled up her sleeves.

They could see bruises all over her neck, shoulders, and arms.

"What happened?" Ye Qingchen guessed the general idea.

"This child has a tough life, stuck with an extremely patriarchal and hot-tempered alcoholic father. Her father said that if she doesn't get married this year, he will sell her."

Guan Xiaotong's crying grew louder and she knelt down with a thud.

"Ye Gongzi, please save me. Let me stay and serve you and Miss Yifei. I can do anything, as long as you don't send me back home."

Ye Qingchen looked at Guan Xiaotong pitifully, but she was just too young.

Fortunately, although this girl's Spirit Root is not as good as Liu Yifei's, she still has the potential to enter the Immortal Dao.

Lu Shen wiped away her tears and said, "Ye Gongzi, if you think Xiaotong is too young, you can let her be a maid, even if she doesn't have a formal status for the rest of her life, it's still better than going back home and being beaten to death by her father!"

Ye Qingchen hesitated and said, "Lu Shen, I have already chosen Liu Yifei. I'm afraid I can't make this decision alone."

Lu Shen saw that he had loosened his stance and immediately nodded, "I understand, I understand!"

At this time, Liu Yifei stood not far from them, clearly hearing Guan Xiaotong's plea to Ye Qingchen. Moreover, she had long known about Xiaotong's father's notorious reputation in the village.

She just didn't expect that Ye Qingchen would ask her to make the decision.

She was both happy and anxious, and mostly overwhelmed by the favor.

Lu Shen pleaded, "Yifei, Xiaotong is your good sister, please save her!"

Guan Xiaotong held onto Liu Yifei's sleeve, begging earnestly.

"I... I have no objections!"

For the first time, Liu Yifei felt like she was in charge, and she was both happy and embarrassed, her face blushing.

"Then, tell Ye Gongzi," Lu Shen said.

"Huh?!"

Liu Yifei timidly glanced at Ye Qingchen and found him smiling back at her.

She instantly felt shy, her face burning. How could she have the courage to speak to Ye Qingchen herself at this moment?

But Lu Shen and Xiaotong were both pleading with her, and she couldn't bear to refuse.

"Ye... Ye Gongzi!" Liu Yifei's voice was as soft as a mosquito's.

With the noise around them, her voice was so small that she couldn't even hear it herself.

Ye Qingchen understood her shyness at this moment and wanted to tease her, but he thought about how Guan Xiaotong and her mother were still waiting pitifully.

"Now that Yifei also agrees, let Xiaotong follow us. Don't worry, I will treat her well and won't bully her. When she grows up, if she still wants to marry me, it's also possible."

Guan Xiaotong was overjoyed, immediately wiped away her tears, and knelt down repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, Ye Gongzi, thank you, Ye Gongzi!"

Ye Qingchen quickly helped her up and handed some silver to Lu Shen, saying, "You keep the silver, take Xiaotong back first. When I finish arranging my new residence, you can bring her over. Tell Xiaotong's father that Xiaotong is mine now, and if he dares to bully her again, I, Ye Qingchen, won't spare him!"

Lu Shen and Guan Xiaotong expressed their gratitude and left.

The villagers gradually dispersed.

Wu Shen pulled Ye Qingchen and Liu Yifei together and gave them some instructions.

According to custom, they needed Wang Yuanfeng to go to the county office to handle the marriage certificate, and then choose an auspicious day to hold the wedding.

With everything settled, the stone that had been hanging over their heads for many years finally fell, and Liu Daifeng felt as if he had become ten years younger, full of energy.

That afternoon, he hurriedly started making arrangements. He ran around, looking for carpenters, buying materials, and customizing furniture for Ye Qingchen's new residence.

He also personally inspected and repaired the house, wanting to renovate it completely.

Facing the enthusiasm of this future father-in-law, Ye Qingchen did not refuse.

After all, he had more important things to do, preparing to refine the Rejuvenation Pill.

In the near future, when Liu Yifei's appearance is restored, the bridal chamber will be filled with candles, and he will embrace her in his arms. How satisfying would that be?

Just thinking about it made Ye Qingchen unable to contain his excitement.

The most urgent task for him was to quickly elevate his cultivation to the peak of Qi Refining, in order to gather spiritual energy and give birth to true fire.

And true fire is a necessary prerequisite for refining the Rejuvenation Pill.
