During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
"It's already a tragedy that Ye Laizi was killed by wolves. We can't let those people bully an orphan and a widow, don't you think?"
"That's right, that's what I meant. You're right. No wonder you have the ability to do business in the capital."
Wang Guangping nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and then asked for credit from Boss Ye: "By the way, I have basically found a place for your family to build a house. After I finish dealing with Ye Laizi's matter, I will take you there to have a look.
"Didn't you say before that you wanted to go to the back of the mountain? It just so happens that the villagers don't want to get too close to the foot of the mountain, and there's plenty of open space over there.
"It just so happens that you have a large family, and we brothers will inevitably divide the family in the future, so we can allocate an extra place for you.
"It will be close to the back mountain, so you can put all those chickens and ducks you raise there, right?"
"Thank you very much, Village Chief." Boss Ye was very happy to hear this and thanked him repeatedly.
The matter of building a house has been on the agenda for a long time, but the location has not been decided yet.
Once this is settled, we can buy materials and start construction as soon as possible.
After talking with Wang Guangping, Boss Ye said goodbye and went home.
A half moon hung in the sky, illuminating the village path very clearly.
When Boss Ye was about to reach the path in front of his house, he suddenly saw a dark shadow flash by the side of the road.
He was startled and shouted, "Who's there?"
A voice soon came from the roadside: "Uncle Ye, it's me. I'm just going home. I didn't mean to scare you."
"Is that Lu Fei?" Boss Ye recognized his voice and breathed a sigh of relief. "Why are you out here so late at night instead of going home to bed?"
"I..." Lu Fei hesitated to speak. He actually wanted to come and find Ye Laoer.
But after wandering around Old Ye's house for a long time, he still couldn't muster up the courage to knock on the door.
Just as he was about to go home, he met Boss Ye who had just returned from the village chief's house.
"Uncle Ye, are you coming back to hunt wolves?"
"Yes, the back mountain is next to our village. If there are wolves eating people so close to us, how can the villagers live in peace?"
Boss Ye took two steps forward and raised his hand to greet Lu Fei, saying, "You'd better not go out at night recently. Stay at home after dark. Who knows if the wild animals in the forest will come into the village looking for food after dark.
"A kid like you has tender and delicious meat. If they come across you, they'll eat you up in one bite!"
Boss Ye said, putting his hand on Lu Fei's shoulder and said, "Come on, I'll take you home."
When Lu Fei felt Boss Ye's hand on him, he subconsciously shrank back, then gritted his teeth to suppress his instinctive reaction.
"Let's go, otherwise your mother at home will worry about you." Boss Ye said, and sent Lu Fei all the way to the door of his house, but found that the door of Ye Laizi's house had been locked from the inside.
"Why didn't your mother leave the door open for you!" Boss Ye said as he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Lu Fei was in a state of anxiety all the way. When he remembered to stop him, it was too late. He could only sigh in his heart.
He had secretly climbed out from behind the screen, but now he had to disturb Xiao Huang.
Soon, Xiao Huang's slightly trembling voice sounded in the yard.
"Who is it? It's so late, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Boss Ye quickly said, "I'm Boss Ye. I saw your Lu Fei outside on my way home. I was worried he wasn't safe, so I sent him back. Why is the door locked?"
"Are you talking about Xiaofei?" Mrs. Huang was stunned when she heard that and became alert.
Lu Fei should have fallen asleep in the house by now, so how could he have run outside again?
Could it be that some bad guy is trying to trick me into opening the door?
Boss Ye could only pat Lu Fei on the shoulder and said, "Why don't you say something yourself!"
At this moment, Mrs. Lu was also woken up. She came out of the room with her clothes on and asked, "What happened?"
Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Lu Fei quickly said, "Mom, it's me. I just went out for a while, and Uncle Ye brought me back. Please open the door and let me in!"
Mrs. Huang could still recognize her son's voice, but she still walked quickly into the wing room and confirmed that only her daughter was sleeping soundly in the bed. Only then did she really believe it.
She went up to remove the bolt, opened the door, and pulled Lu Fei in, scolding him, "Why are you so troublesome nowadays, kid? Why are you running out in the middle of the night?"
"Mom, I was wrong. I won't do it again."
Lu Fei felt a little embarrassed to be scolded by his mother in front of Boss Ye.
He glanced at Boss Ye awkwardly, then quickly looked away when the other party looked over at him.
Little did he know that his actions were interpreted differently by Xiao Huang.
Her expression became increasingly ugly, and her voice became more and more trembling, but she still insisted on thanking Mr. Ye before closing the gate.
Boss Ye felt that the mother and daughter’s reactions were a bit strange.
But when I think about how Ye Laizi died so tragically, and how he was killed by wolves just like Xiao Huang's husband, leaving this orphan and widow like a frightened bird, it seems understandable.
So Boss Ye didn't think about it anymore and turned around to go home and sleep.
We are going up the mountain tomorrow, so we must rest and recharge our energy tonight.
After hearing Boss Ye's footsteps fade away, Xiao Huang, who had been sticking to the door listening to the noise outside, breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did she realize that her whole body was weak and she was almost sliding down the door panel.
She stood up by holding the door bolt, and then she couldn't help but angrily said to her son: "Do you know what time it is now? Instead of staying at home honestly, you actually ran out secretly?
