When Yu Heng was working in the fields, Zhao Ji ran over to call him, saying that something had happened to his younger brother. Yu Heng’s mind exploded. He subconsciously thought that his younger brother had fallen down the mountain and broken his leg or worse.

In his opinion, nothing was more terrifying than losing his labor force. He could not be bothered to put on his shoes and was about to run home when Zhao Ji grabbed him and brought him to the village chief’s house. On the way, he even explained things to him.

When Yu Heng arrived, he saw his brother being reprimanded by that young lady. The moment he saw him, he cried aggrievedly and hugged him tightly.

Yu Heng rubbed his brother’s head and turned around to look into Yi Ke’s eyes. He said calmly, “I’m sorry for my brother’s trouble. How much do you need to pay?”

“30,700,” Yi Ke said. She saw Yu Heng sway slightly when he heard the number. He was probably shocked.

Yu Heng calmed himself down and shook his head at her. “I’m sorry. My family is very poor and doesn’t have much money. If you can give me time, I’ll work hard to pay you back.”

Of course, Yi Ke knew that he had no money, but when she thought of the grievances she had suffered in her previous life and her grandfather’s death, she wanted to make Yu Heng suffer. Hence, she said arrogantly, “How long will it take for you to pay me back? Can you pay before I leave?”

“Your family is so rich. It’s just 30,000 yuan. Do you have to make things so difficult?” Guo Fei stood up before Yu Heng could say anything.

Along the way, she had suffered grievances and resentment towards Yi Ke. When she saw that Yi Ke still wanted to make things difficult for others, and she couldn’t get any benefits from it, she was even angrier. With the mentality of ‘If I can’t get it, you won’t have an easy time either’, Guo Fei stood up and criticized Yi Ke.

“How much does the bag you usually carry cost? How much do shoes cost? 30,000 yuan is like a joke to you, and you still have the cheek to ask for it?” Guo Fei looked at the limited edition sheepskin leather shoes on Yi Ke’s feet and felt indignant.

When the surrounding villagers heard her say this, they could not help but whisper to each other.

Yi Ke smiled and waited for Guo Fei to finish speaking. Her words silenced Guo Fei. “You said it’s only 30,000 yuan. Are you going to pay for him?”

Guo Fei immediately shut her mouth. She was just boasting. She couldn’t bear to spend money.

Seeing her shrinking back, Yi Ke became excited. As she approached her, she said, “You’re standing at the highest point of morality and criticizing me? Are you worthy? Every time you go out to play, you spend my money. Isn’t it only right and proper to compensate for broken things? If you like to be generous to others, why don’t you help him repay the money?”

Guo Fei’s face and neck turned red. In the end, she retreated into the crowd and shut her mouth like a quail.

Yi Ke turned around and looked at Yu Heng. The 18-year-old him had already grown up. He was no different from the Yu Heng in her memories.

“It doesn’t matter if you can’t afford it. I have a way to repay the debt.”

When Yu Heng heard her say this, he felt that it was definitely not a good idea. However, he had no way out now. He could only ask, “Tell me, what method?”

“I heard that your house doesn’t have pigs. Coincidentally, I can’t stand the stench. We’ll stay at your house. You can take care of us. Think of it as repayment.”

Yu Heng rejected this suggestion without thinking. “No, there’s no place for so many people to stay at my house.”

There were only three rooms in his small and dilapidated house. It was impossible for so many people to sleep in them.

“Alright, compensate me then.” Yi Ke didn’t want to waste time with him. If she wasn’t allowed to stay, then compensate her with the money. Yu Heng fell silent. If it was possible, he didn’t want to choose either option. The village chief was a little anxious when he saw Yi Ke’s attitude. In his eyes, Yi Ke was already a big shot. If he didn’t serve her well this time, it would be a small matter if there were no water or electricity in the future. It was even possible that the people in the city wouldn’t buy their food. This was equivalent to cutting off the entire village’s livelihood. He hurriedly went forward to comfort Yi Ke.

“Miss, you don’t know, but Gou Dan’s family is really poor. His father is paralyzed, and his mother is sick. He still has younger siblings to support. The family lives in a small room. You won’t be used to it.”

Wan Shi could not help but frown when he heard the village chief’s description. In such a place, if anything happened to the Eldest Miss, he would not be able to explain it to the old master. He also wanted to persuade Yi Ke.

Yi Ke looked at Yu Heng and insisted. “The place is small. I can stay there. The others will stay at the village chief’s house. You can choose if you want to compensate or let me move there.”

Yu Heng took a deep look at Yi Ke before holding his brother’s hand and leaving. “I’ll go back and pack.”
