Ni Ruishan raised his feet and was about to walk out. Suddenly he remembered something and took out a banknote from his arms and handed it to Ye Xi: "This is a 50-tael banknote. Think of it as the consultation fee grandpa gave you. Ni Hao will be with you in the future." Food and clothing will be provided to you after grandpa returns home."

Ye Xi took the banknote and Ni Ruishan turned around and left.

Ni Ge looked at Ye Xi and said disapprovingly: "Ye Xi, how could you accept Grandpa Lizheng's banknote so simply?"

Ye Xi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You said that if I don't accept the money, Grandpa Li Zheng will be here to resist me for a long time. He originally gave me the money sincerely, but I don't accept it in his heart. Instead, I feel sorry for myself.”

"Why don't I just accept this money, and when Grandpa Lizheng needs us in the future, we can do more, okay?"

Ye Xi flicked the banknote and said with a smile: "Besides, if I don't accept the 50 taels from Grandpa Li Zheng, how can I ask Yuan Wang to accept the money?"

Ni Wen smiled and said: "My sister-in-law is right. I will go find Yuan Wang at dawn to help you ask for the medical fee."

Ye Xi waved his hand: "Second brother, you don't have to go. Doctor Li will ask him for the consultation fee."

Ni Wen wanted to go home, but was stopped by Ye Xi: "Second brother, come with me. There are two brats at home who want you to interrogate."

Ni Wen didn't know why he followed Ye Xi to the yard with the candlestick, and saw two figures, one white and one black, lying next to the firewood pile.

Ye Xi walked into the kitchen and came over with a bucket. She raised the bucket high and flushed the water into their faces.

The paint on their faces was washed away by water, revealing their true colors.

"Cough cough~"

The two choked on water and woke up from a coma.

Ni Wen gave him a kick and shouted angrily: "Ni San, Wang Wu, what are you two doing in Xiyuan?"

Ye Xi snorted coldly: "What are they doing here? Pretending to be black and white to scare us. Second brother, look, here are the iron chains they brought and the hats they wore."

When Ni Wen saw the pointed hat and the chain, he was so angry that he kicked one of them again: "Who gave you the courage to bully my Ni family?"

Ni San hugged Ni Wen's legs and cried: "Second brother, didn't you break away from their family? Now everyone in the village knows that Ni Ge has nothing to do with your family. We, we are here to fight against your injustice."

Ni Wen kicked Ni San away in disgust: "You make it up, keep making it up, see if I believe it or not?"

"Second brother, you take your time with the trial, and I'll sleep with Ni Chen for a while." Ye Xi didn't care how Ni Wen tried the case, and the soles of his feet were wet.

Ni Wen glanced at Ye Xi's back speechlessly: You ran away quickly. I still want to go home to be with my wife and children!
Helpless, Ni Wen dragged Ni San and Wang Wu towards the old house.

Ye Xi closed the door and went to the utility room to take a look at Ni Hao before going back to his room to sleep.

Ni Chen poked his head out from under the quilt, and when he saw Ye Xi, he pursed his lips in grievance.

Ye Xi lay down with his clothes on, held Ni Chen in his arms and asked softly: "Chen'er, what's wrong?"

Ni Chen leaned against Ye Xi and held her hand tightly: "Mother, uncle Ni Hao came to our home to recuperate. Is our home more dangerous?"

Ye Xi nodded: "He is indeed a hot potato. But didn't Li Zheng also say that he would provide living expenses? For the sake of money, my mother should take care of one more person."

Ni Chen rubbed Ye Xi's shoulder: "Mother, you have worked so hard."

"Well, it's hard work." Ye Xi recalled that before he started writing, apart from writing novels, he really didn't do as much physical work as he did these days.If she hadn't been exercising for a long time, she would have been paralyzed by exhaustion.

Ye Xi yawned, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Ni Chen looked at her chin, smiled and closed his eyes.

Ni Ge stretched out his hand to extinguish the oil lamp. There was no sound outside the yard. I think Ni Wen got rid of the two pretenders.Ni Ge couldn't bear it and fell asleep.

Ni Wen dragged Ni San and Wang Wu to the old house, shocking Ni Tiezhi and Ni Hua who had already returned home.

Looking at the white clothes, black clothes, pointed hats and chains held by the two of them, Father Ni frowned and a suspicion flashed in his heart.

When he heard that the two men were actually pretending to be black and white to scare Ye Xi and the others, he beat them up angrily.

Ni San and Wang Wu initially insisted that they knew that Ni Ge was not Ni Tiezhi's flesh and blood, and wanted to vent their anger on the Ni family, so they went to scare them.

But how could Ni Tiezhi and his family believe the lies told by Ni San and Wang Wu? They beat people at the most painful places.

The two of them couldn't bear it anymore, so they had to confess: "Uncle, eldest brother and second brother, please stop fighting. It was Wang Shui who asked us to go to the haunted house to scare Ni Ge and his family."

"We were the ones who scared away the people who lived in the haunted house before."

"We just want to scare them away, we have no other bad intentions!"

"Anyway, every time someone stays in the haunted house, Wang Shui will find the two of us and ask us to pretend to be ghosts to catch the person. Over time, the reputation of the haunted house spreads."

"As for why Wang Shui scares away the people who live in it, we don't know either? I only charge Wang Shui [-] coins each time."

Ni San and Wang Wu went back and forth over these few sentences, and Ni Tiezhi and his son were helpless.

On the other side, Ni Ruishan went home. The family did not see Ni Zhen and looked at him worriedly.

Ni Ruishan didn't know either. He only said that Ni Zhen was sent out by him to do something.

Anyway, Ni Zhen had gone to do things for Ni Ruishan before, so the family had no suspicion.

"Where is Hao'er? Is he awake? Why didn't you bring him back?" Ni Ruishan's wife Zhang asked.

Ni Ruishan told him about leaving Ni Hao to Ye Xi's care. Zhang looked at him suspiciously: "Why did you leave Hao'er to Ye Xi's care? Is there any trouble with Hao'er?"

"I suspect that Hao'er and Wang Qiang stumbled upon a secret they shouldn't know today, and that's why they were silenced. If it weren't for Ye, Hao'er wouldn't have been saved." Ni Ruishan nodded: "And after my observations over the past few days, In Xinghua Village, only Ye can barely protect Haoer."

Zhang was surprised: "You mean you are no match for the other party."

Ni Ruishan blinked silently, and Mrs. Zhang suddenly turned pale and murmured: "That will be really tricky."

Ni Ruishan smiled bitterly: "Who says it's not the case?"

"You guys should rest." Ni Ruishan changed into black clothes and said, "I'll go out and have a look. Maybe I can get some clues about that person."

Mrs. Zhang was puzzled and asked in a low voice: "Old man, are you so sure that it is that person who is causing trouble?"

Ni Ruishan nodded: "I have been lurking in Xinghua Village for so many years, and I have found out almost everything."

Zhang hesitated to speak, and finally said "be careful" and said nothing more.

Ni Ruishan was dressed in black and disappeared into the dark night without a trace.

He first went to Dr. Li's house and found that Wang Yuanwai also took Wang Qiang back to their old house in the village.

Ni Ruishan rushed towards Wang Yuan's wife's old house like a ghost, but when he got near Wang Yuan's wife's old house, he couldn't get in. (End of chapter)
