After getting Li Shao's promise, Zhao Ye was able to carefully examine the ginseng and the black bear. The more he looked, the more he felt that Brother Li was really capable. He couldn't help but ask, "Brother Li, if you are so capable, why did you marry me? I am not good-looking and my reputation is not good. You can marry a village beauty, no, you can marry a girl in town."

He lowered his head with some inferiority in his eyes and Li Shao was unhappy when he heard this. In his heart, Ye Ge'er was the best and no one could say no to him, not even Zhao Ye himself.

"Who said that? Who said my Ye Ge'er is not pretty? In my eyes, no village beauties or town beauties can compare to you. In my heart, you are the prettiest, and my Ye Ge'er is kind-hearted, no one can compare to you."

Li Shao looked at Zhao Ye affectionately and said, "If I hadn't met you, I would have lived a lonely life. Maybe I came to this world just for you."

Zhao Ye's originally somewhat uneasy heart was completely put to rest. Big Brother Li really liked him and really didn't care about his past. Otherwise, with Big Brother Li's ability, he could have married a better girl.

At this time, he heard footsteps coming from afar, and Li Shao said to Zhao Ye: "Brother Ye, your father is here with his men."

Zhao Ye looked around and didn't see a single person, looking confused. But he believed Li Shao's words completely and said anxiously, "Brother Li, what should we do? Let's run."

Li Shao gently grabbed Zhao Ye's arm, looked him in the eyes and said, "Brother Ye, calm down, don't be afraid. Remember what Brother Li said, no one can hurt you as long as I am here. Wait here for them to come, I will make him marry you to me, believe me."

Maybe it was because Li Shao gave him such a strong sense of security, Zhao Ye's heart calmed down. He nodded, and sat obediently beside Li Shao, waiting for Zhao's father and his party to arrive.

After a while, Zhao's father brought a group of people from the same village to the mountain and saw that Zhao Ye and Li Shao were together, and the two looked very close.

Zhao's father was so angry that his blood boiled. "I finally found you, you bastard. I finally found a good marriage for you. But you dared to run away from the marriage. It's really outrageous." He rushed up to Zhao Ye and raised his hand to hit him.

Li Shao stopped him and pushed him to the ground, "Uncle Zhao, just talk, don't touch me."

This made Zhao's father so angry that he almost choked. He cursed: "You bastard, you kidnapped my little boy. Now you dare to hit me, I will report you to the government and have you arrested and beaten with a stick."

Mother Zhao hurried forward to help father Zhao up, "Brother Ye, you have no conscience, look at who you found, and you just watched him beat your father. Your parents raised you in vain, hurry up and come down the mountain with us, the Liu family didn't pick you up, and they said that if they don't see you today, they will go to the government to file a complaint, can you bear to see your parents thrown into jail?"

The surrounding villagers didn't know what to do when they saw this situation. Li Shao also settled in the village. Because he sold pork to the villagers at low prices, everyone had a good impression of him.

The main reason was that Li Shao could kill a wild boar with one punch, and seeing the dead black bear lying on the ground next to them, they did not dare to step forward to fight. Besides, looking at the way Ye Ge'er and Li Shao were, it was obvious that they were in love with each other. It was not appropriate for outsiders like them to interfere in their family affairs.

After hearing what Zhao's mother said, Zhao Ye could no longer hold back and said, "Mother, I said I won't marry. Return the fifteen taels of silver to the Liu family, and the Liu family won't sue me at the government office."

"You heartless boy, are you speaking like an angel? Return the silver. Marrying is always done in the name of your parents. You shamelessly ran out to follow this Li Shao, bringing shame upon yourself. How are we going to live in the village in the future? What sin have I committed to give birth to such an evil creature like you?" When Zhao's mother heard that Zhao Ye wanted to return the silver to the Liu family, she kept scolding him.

"Okay, stop scolding. That Ye brother from the Liu family won't go. Ye brother can only marry me. No matter how much money you took from the Liu family, return it and I will give it to you." Li Shao really couldn't stand it anymore.

Hearing Li Shao's words, Zhao's mother stopped yelling and looked at Zhao's father. When they found Ye Ge'er, he and Li Shao had obviously been alone for a night, and there were so many people watching.

Regardless of what happened or not, Ye Ge'er will have no reputation in the village. This matter cannot be concealed, and the Liu family will definitely not want her anymore. It is better for her to marry Li Shao, who can also afford the bride price.

Zhao's father snorted coldly and said, "Marry you? There's no way you can marry my brother." Just because of Li Shao, Zhao Ye didn't listen to him and dared to run away from home. He was embarrassed in the village, and he absolutely couldn't let Zhao Ye marry him.

Father Zhao was so angry that he didn't care about anything else and just wanted to avoid losing face.

"Dad, please help me and Brother Li get together. I won't marry anyone else except Brother Li."

"Shut up, brother, you said such shameless words, come home with dad." Father Zhao wanted to step forward and pull Zhao Ye back.

"Uncle Zhao, the Li brothers are handsome and talented. I think this black bear can be sold for a lot of money. Please help them."

"Yes, yes. After you marry Brother Li, you will be from the same village. With your physique, you can help your father-in-law with a lot of work in the future."

Some people give advice with good intentions, while others do so with ill intentions and just want to add fuel to the fire.

"Of course. This Ye Ge'er spent a night alone with Brother Li. If the Liu family finds out, they will definitely not want her. If she doesn't marry Brother Li, then Old Zhao, you will be in trouble."

"We are looking forward to the wedding. If you don't agree to their request, you will have a grandson in a few months."

Hearing this, Zhao's father's blood boiled and he fainted.

Zhao Ye was now panicked, and the group had no choice but to carry Zhao's father down the mountain, return to Zhao's house, and call the village doctor to take a look.

The doctor said it was just a moment of excitement and hot blood. It was nothing serious and it would be fine after waking up. Li Shao paid the doctor the consultation fee and sent the doctor away, then went into the house.

She said to Zhao's mother, "Aunt Zhao, I am sincere to Ye Ge'er. I will give whatever the Liu family asks for as a dowry. Can you bear to let your 18-year-old son marry an old man, and be a concubine?"

Seeing that Zhao's father was fine and Li Shao agreed to give fifteen taels of silver, Zhao's mother calmed down and said, "Li boy, your affair with Brother Ye has brought shame to me and his father in the village. If it weren't for the fifteen taels of silver, his father would not agree."

"You should go now. When his father wakes up and sees you, he will be angry again." After saying that, he stood up and tried to drive Li Shao away.

"No, I won't leave unless you agree to marry Ye Ge'er to me." If he left, what if they beat Ye Ge'er, or sent Ye Ge'er to the Liu family?

At this time, Zhao Ye said, "Brother Li, go home. I'm fine. So many people in the village have seen what happened between us. The Liu family won't want me anymore."

After hearing what Zhao Ye said, Zhao's mother was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, but she didn't dare to do it because of Li Shao.

Li Shao thought about it and decided to listen to Zhao Ye. He had to deal with the ginseng and the black bear first, and then think of a way to get Zhao's father to agree to let Ye Ge'er marry him.
