"Fifth Aunt, just say what you want to say. It's the New Year, so let's be straightforward and not waste time."

Seeing that the middle-aged woman was quite shameless, Tian Xiaohui stepped forward and urged her to hurry up.

But no one expected that as soon as Tian Xiaohui finished speaking, the young man behind the middle-aged woman would start cursing.

"Who do you think you are? I'm talking to my brother, who gave you the right to interrupt?"

"Brother, I heard you've made a lot of money. Perfect timing, I'm getting married soon, and my family urgently needs to build a house. Given our relationship, it shouldn't be too much to ask to borrow some money from you, right?"

Ye Chen's face immediately darkened, and a hint of anger flashed in his pupils.

He stared intently at the young man, wishing he could slap him twice.

In his past life, Tian Xiaohui was always a regret in Ye Chen's heart. Now that he has been reborn, Ye Chen finally managed to change Tian Xiaohui's opinion of him.

In Ye Chen's eyes, Tian Xiaohui was everything to him. She could even scold him, but if anyone dared to offend Tian Xiaohui, Ye Chen would fight them to the death!

"Brother, you wouldn't refuse to lend it to us, would you? We're family, blood is thicker than water!"

"Besides, there are plenty of gossipy people in the village. If they know you're stingy, they might talk badly about you behind your back."

Seeing that Ye Chen remained silent, the young man stepped forward and spoke with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Ye Chen suddenly strode over.

He walked up to the young man and slapped him across the face!

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap rang out, and the young man covered his cheek, completely stunned.

The middle-aged woman standing nearby rushed forward, pointed at Ye Chen's nose, and launched into a tirade of curses.

"Ye Chen, you heartless bastard! Your father died, and if it weren't for the help of your relatives, would you still be alive today?"

"Now you think you're all grown up and don't even recognize your own family anymore? Let me tell you, you have to lend us the money today, or this isn't over!"

Ye Chen was so angry he laughed. It was the first time he had ever seen someone ask for money so confidently.

Too lazy to waste words, he went straight to the past.

"Fifth Aunt, you really have no shame saying that, and you still have the nerve to talk to me about what happened back then?"

"Right after my father passed away, you all started arguing and fighting, and in the end, you forcibly divided up my family's land!"

"You thought I was easy to bully because I didn't argue with you back then? Now you're even trying to take advantage of me and are directly asking me for money?"

The middle-aged woman blushed slightly upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Ye Chen stated directly, "I'm telling you now, I have the money, but I'll never give it to you!"

"Furthermore, I need to settle an score with you. You took my family's land back then, and you must return it to me today!"

"Ye Chen, how dare you speak like that? You're a young man; can you really keep these things safe if they fall into your hands?"

The middle-aged woman, enraged and embarrassed, immediately sought a reason.

"Don't you know what you were like before? Drinking, gambling, even beating your own wife. What wouldn't you do for a drink?"

"I'm safeguarding that land for you; otherwise, you probably would have sold it long ago. Even if I haven't done anything particularly meritorious over the years, I've certainly put in the effort. How can you talk to me like that? Do you have any conscience at all?"

"Hehe, then I've troubled Aunt Wu for so many years. Now that I'm married, can the land be returned?" Ye Chen sneered.

The middle-aged woman threw a tantrum, refusing outright: "Stop your nonsense! Who knows if you're good or bad now? What if you sell the goods again after I hand them over?"

"Your mother and I are sisters. She passed away early, so naturally I have to keep an eye on you. It's not just about the land; it's also not good for you to have too much money on you. We're asking you for money because we're worried about you being scammed!"

"Ye Chen, don't be ungrateful. Do you really want to ruin our family relationship?"

The middle-aged woman's statement immediately sparked a lot of discussion. Even Li Yan couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to shove the woman.

"etc!"

Fearing something might happen to Li Yan, Ye Chen quickly reminded him, and as he spoke, he stepped forward and used his body to shield the middle-aged woman.

"Fifth Aunt, you're really shameless. So, the fact that I lent you money to build a house makes it seem like you're helping me?"

"That's perfect. I've stopped drinking and gambling, but your son isn't married yet. Who knows what mistakes he might make in the future?"

"Why don't you just give me your land and old house, and I'll take care of them for you? Isn't that what you said? I'm doing this to help you, so there's no need to thank me."

"You..." The middle-aged woman was stunned when she saw Ye Chen return what she had said.

Finally, he simply used his trump card, walked out of Ye Chen's house, plopped down on the ground, and started yelling at the top of his lungs.

"Fellow villagers, come and see! Ye Chen is doing bad things. He's asking us relatives for money and trying to seize our land."

"You can know a person's face but not their heart, Ye Chen! You've lost all your conscience! Folks, be the judge! Please don't let this kid go on making further mistakes!"

The middle-aged woman's shouts immediately attracted the attention of many people, including onlookers and a few uninvited guests.

The two old hunters who had previously gathered with Ye Chen immediately stepped forward upon seeing this and began to hurl insults at the middle-aged woman.

"You ignorant woman, stop spouting nonsense. Ye Chen is a righteous man. If you continue to talk about him, believe me, I'll cut your tongue out!"

"That's right, bullying Ye Chen is the same as bullying us. Do you believe I'll break your legs?"

Having spent years in the old forests, living alongside wild beasts, the hunters exude a strong aura of killing intent, their icy eyes seeming to devour their prey as they speak.

The middle-aged woman naturally recognized the two men, but upon realizing their identities, she quickly shut her mouth.

The reason she dared to cause trouble at Ye Chen's house was mainly because of their relationship, but the middle-aged woman also knew that these old hunters were truly capable of killing!

It would be a bit of a loss to offend these formidable figures because of Ye Chen.

With a hint of apprehension, the middle-aged woman quickly shut her mouth, but then stubbornly insisted on saying something.

"I didn't say anything bad about Ye Chen. I'm here today for money. As long as Ye Chen gives me the money obediently, I'll turn around and leave immediately, without any further entanglement!"

"Heh, so it's a down-on-his-luck relative coming to take advantage of you, huh?" A hunter sneered, and the next second, he pulled out a hunting rifle from behind his back.

The dark muzzle of the gun was aimed at the middle-aged woman's head, and a chill instantly ran down my spine!

Only when threatened with death did the middle-aged woman finally shut up.

I will never dare to do anything reckless again.

Finally, he hurriedly took his son and fled in panic, fearing that he would get into trouble, not only failing to borrow money but also losing his life here.
