Grandmother Ye quickly went to check on Ye Xuan upon being freed. She placed her fingers near his nose and only sighed in relief when she detected breathing motions.

Then she shouted at the Ye brothers, "You beat him up and now you want to leave? No chance! Unless you hand over a few hundred taels of silver for his medical fees, you'll not step out of this house!"

She knew the brothers were living the life now so she would get them to fork over the money no matter what!

And then she ran to the entrance and physically blocked their way out with her arms and legs.

Doctor Li merely shook his head.

Her grandson was on the verge of death and she did not even press him for a diagnosis. The first thing on her mind was demanding that the Ye brothers to pay the bills.

He opened his medical kit and began examining Ye Xuan...

When they heard she wanted money, and a three-digit sum at that, Ye Yang did not respond, Ye Liu let out a chuckle, Ye Mo rolled his eyes, but Li Wazi flared up with righteous indignation.

"Money? You have the gall to ask for money? You didn't know how to educate your grandson, so they did it for you and didn't even ask for a single cent. And yet you have the gall to demand payment? You really have no shame!"

When she heard Li Wazi call her out like that, Grandmother Ye's sharp tongue lashed out at him. "Who are you to meddle in our family's business? Get out of here right now! Good-for-nothing busybody, your son will be born without an anus!"

"My son has an anus! Don't think just because you're elderly you can vilify anyone you want!" Li Wazi frowned as he rebutted her.

Ye Yang was already closest to the door, so he did not have to move much as he confronted Grandmother Ye. He gazed down at her and said, "Move over!"

In comparison to Ye Yang's towering stature, Grandmother Ye resembled a short and stout clown. Ye Liu and Ye Mo also advanced closer to her.

The three tall and strong grandsons standing in front of her might have been bearing different expressions, but Grandmother Ye could not deny that these three, along with Ye Ling who was not here, were far better than Ye Xuan in terms of looks and behavior. But she just could not bring herself to like them.

It could be due to Ye Ling being a sick child, or it could be because their parents had died early. Whatever it was, she was unsure. Nevertheless, she just did not like these four brothers!

"Give me the money, or don't even think about stepping out of here..."

Grandmother Ye began stating her conditions valiantly and spiritedly but she was rudely interrupted by Ye Mo before she could finish. "I'm not giving you a single copper coin! You want money? Keep dreaming!"

And then he pushed her aside and headed out.

Ye Liu peered at Grandmother Ye and chuckled. "Tell your Little Xuan to keep his dirty thoughts to himself, otherwise that body of his might not be able to get out of bed… ever!"

Next time, even if they would not take his life, they would make sure he would be paralyzed for life!

Grandmother Ye glared at him furiously, smoke seemingly fuming out of her nostrils. She grabbed a broom and attempted to beat Ye Liu violently with it. "You girlish man, how dare you threaten me?"

Of course, Ye Liu would not just stand there and take it like a live target.

Being nimble and quick, Ye Liu easily evaded her attacks and swiftly snatched over the broom. "You're not getting any younger, so you have to stop beating people. Otherwise, if you twisted your back, I wonder who would have the patience to take care of you!"

He could bet that Ye Xuan and the family would not have that great of a filial willingness to care of Grandmother Ye. They were currently obedient towards her only because she had several farmlands under her name.
