579 Bad Luck (Part 2)

The machete was kicked away by Hu Yu, and Second Master Ye fell to the ground.

His two sons had already arrived beside him and shouted worriedly. “Father, how are you?”

Second Master Ye was stunned for a moment. “I’m fine.”

Madam Qiu and Old Madam Ye also came out and quickly helped Second Master Ye get up. Looking at the machete on the ground, Old Madam Ye asked with a dark expression. “Who put it here?”

“Grandma, it’s all my fault. I was cutting the wood and left it here. I forgot to put it back.”

Ye Tianyang lowered his head, looking guilty. However, he was not really sure if his memory served him right. He remembered that it was not placed here, but he was the only one who had used the machete, so he probably remembered wrongly.

Old Madam Ye looked at Ye Tianyang and said seriously, “Be careful next time. Don’t put these dangerous things around.”

Ye Tianyang nodded. “I understand.”

Old Madam Ye looked at Second Master Ye worriedly and asked., “How do you feel? Are you alright? If you’re not feeling well, you have to go to the medical hall to take a look. Don’t get hurt.”

Second Master Ye got up and stretched. He said, “Mother, don’t worry. I’m sturdy.”

Old Madam Ye was still worried. How could he be fine after falling down the ladder?

Second Master Ye found it unbelievable. How could he not be injured at all? He did not even feel much pain. It was really strange. Moreover, when he fell, he seemed to have been pushed by someone. That was even stranger. He was the only one on the ladder. Who pushed him?

It was strange to fall down and not be injured, but it was good that he was fine.

Old Madam Ye frowned. “What happened to you? You can’t even stand straight.”

Second Master Ye scratched his head. “I feel a little dizzy.”

Old Madam Ye looked at Second Master Ye and said angrily, “Don’t work today. Take a rest.”

Liu Yuanyuan said to Hu Yu, “Something happened to the eldest son of the Ye family. Did anything go wrong here?”

Hu Yu said, “Second Master Ye fell down the ladder just now. If not for me supporting him and kicking the machete away, he would probably have been stabbed to death.”

Hu Yu pointed at the machete.

Liu Yuanyuan said, “First Master Ye as well, but he’s still injured and broke his leg.”

Hu Yu frowned. “It’s a ruthless thing.”

There was a shout outside the Ye family’s house and a knock on the door.

Ye Tianyang quickly went to open the door. When he opened the door, he saw a stranger. This person seemed to have run over in a hurry and was still panting. He asked. “Is this the Ye family?”

Ye Tianyang nodded. “Yes.”

There was only one family with the surname Ye in the alley.

The man said, “Your uncle broke his leg and has already been sent to the medical hall. Go and take a look.”

Ye Tianyang’s expression changed. “What? Uncle broke his leg!”

Old Madam Ye walked out quickly. “Who broke his leg? What happened?”

The man looked at the white-haired Old Madam Ye and thought that she must be First Master Ye’s mother. He heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s like this. Your eldest son broke his leg by the roadside. We saw it and sent him to the medical hall. I’m here to inform you. He asked you to go over quickly.”

Old Madam Ye immediately said, “Which medical hall? Thank you so much. We’ll go there now.”

The man waved his hand and left.

Old Madam Ye immediately brought her family out. The entire family went to the medical hall. No one cared about Fen Lan and her daughter.

Fen Lan and her daughter watched them leave.

Fen Lan said to Yingying, “See? They don’t treat us as their family. If we don’t let them suffer a little, we will only be treated like dust and sent away like goods.”

Yingying lowered her head as tears streamed down her face.

Fen Lan patted her back to comfort her. “It’s good to let them suffer.”

Yingying did not speak and only nodded slightly.

Fen Lan patted Yingying’s hand. “Stay at home and cook. I’ll go out for a while.”

Yingying nodded. “Mother, where are you going?”

Fen Lan smiled. “I’m going out to do something. You’re different from Ye Niuniu. You’re a good girl. Clean up the house and cook. That Ye Niuniu can’t do anything. She’s not even married yet, but she’s hanging out with men all day long. Who knows if she’ll come back one day, pregnant with another man’s child.”

Yingying’s face turned pale and she lowered her head. Fen Lan went to the house to get some money and left.

Yingying began to clean up the house, sweep the floor, tidy up, and cook.

Liu Yuanyuan thought for a moment. “I’m going to follow that woman. Stay here and watch her.”

Hu Yu nodded. “Go. We’ll go back when they come back.”

Liu Yuanyuan nodded and followed Fen Lan out.

Hu Yu continued to stay in the Ye family to keep an eye on Yingying.

Fen Lan turned a few corners and left the city to find an old beggar. She walked over and kicked him. “Old thing, I’ll give you a job to earn money. Are you going to do it or not? I guarantee you can eat your fill tonight.”

The old beggar smiled. “Madam, if you have any instructions, just tell me. As long as you can give me a bite to eat, I’ll do it.”

Fen Lan gave him a few copper coins. “When it’s done, I’ll give you five taels of silver.”

Five taels of silver was not enough for the old beggar to live comfortably for the rest of his life, but it was not a small sum either. It was enough for him to eat his fill in the next few weeks.

The old beggar’s eyes lit up. “Madam, please instruct me.”

Fen Lan said calmly, “Three days later, disguise yourself as a Daoist priest and come to this place to say a few words.”

Fen Lan lowered her voice and asked the old beggar to pretend to be a Daoist priest to go over to the Ye family. She asked him to say that the Ye family would be in bad luck in the future because they wanted to send their mascot away.

Once the mascot was gone, the family’s prosperity would be over.

...

The old beggar nodded repeatedly as he listened to the instructions. As long as he could earn some money, he would do anything.

After giving the instructions and preparing a Daoist robe for the old beggar, Fen Lan returned.

Liu Yuanyuan already knew the plan and went back.

The entire Ye family was at the medical hall. First Master Ye had broken his leg. Fortunately, his life was not in danger.

Madam Geng’s heart ached so much that she cried.

Old Madam Ye’s eyes also turned red.

After the bone was reconnected, First Master Ye felt better. Although it was still painful, he could withstand it. “Mother, don’t worry. I’m fine.”

Old Madam Ye was a little puzzled. “What’s going on today? You fell, and so did your second brother. Your second brother fell down the ladder, but fortunately, he’s fine.”

First Master Ye was stunned. “Second Brother fell too? Then, let the doctor check him.”

Old Madam Ye nodded.

The doctor checked Second Master Ye and said, “He’s fine. Old Madam, don’t worry.”

...

Old Madam Ye was relieved.

First Master Ye was relieved too. “It’s good that he’s fine. Perhaps we’re blessed. When I fell, I was about to hit a tree stump, but for some reason, something seemed to have pushed me, so I missed the tree stump.”
