When the guide heard this, he quickly realized which family Lin Xi was talking about.

He nodded, sighed and said.

"Yes, this family just sent an old man away not long ago."

The villagers were all very familiar with each other. Although the old man was quite old and his death could be considered a happy occasion, he was a familiar face after all, so everyone still felt sad when they thought of him after his death.

Lin Xi continued to ask, "He died within the past two weeks, right?"

The other party was stunned and subconsciously said, "Yes, it seems to be eleven or twelve days ago! It was exactly the day before Boss Ma came to collect the goods last time. The old man in this family passed away."

When Ma Shangqiu heard this, he was a little surprised.

He didn't notice this when he came to pick up the goods that day.

The man seemed to know what he was thinking and explained it immediately.

Because holding a funeral is not a good thing, and many people even think that death is unlucky. They were worried that Ma Shangqiu thought the same, so they didn't tell him.

Besides, Ma Shangqi had no relationship with that family, so it was strange for Mao to tell him about this.

As for why Ma Shangqiu didn't hear any noise, it was because the family was far away from the village entrance. In addition, the deceased had just died the day before, so the funeral procession had not arrived yet. They only arrived after Ma Shangqiu left.

So he would not hear any news about the funeral.

Ma Shangyu finally understood.

Because Lin Xi specifically asked about this matter, Ma Shang felt that this might be related to his "fake death".

But the one who has a conflict with him is Old Man Wang. Wang’s neighbors should have no grudges against him, so how could this be related to him?

Just when Ma Shangqiu was full of questions, they had already arrived at the door of the Wang family.

The guide stood at the door of Wang's house and shouted inside.

"Is Wang Hu home? Boss Ma is here!"

After shouting, there was a response from inside the house, and then a figure walked out.

But the person who came out was not Wang Hu, but Old Man Wang.

Old Man Wang walked out with a dark face, speaking in a bad tone as he walked.

"I wonder if my son's leg was injured? You let him out. Are you deliberately not letting him recover properly?"

"If he's a black-hearted boss, I won't do business with him anymore. How dare he mess with my family?"

"And you! You've even ignored decades of friendship for a few bucks, and you're just following behind your black-hearted boss!"

Old man Wang even scolded the guide, thinking they were birds of a feather.

The guide became angry when he heard these words.

He cursed in his heart, wondering if Old Man Wang was crazy, but because of his age, he didn't want to argue with him.

What's more important now is to appease Ma Shangyu and not make the boss angry.

So the guide could only suppress his unhappy smile and persuade him: "Boss Ma, don't be angry, Old Man Wang has always had this temper..."

Although she was trying to persuade him, she kept blaming Old Man Wang in her heart. It had been more than ten days, and she was still thinking about what happened before.

Besides, Boss Ma didn’t do anything wrong at the time. It was just Old Man Wang who misread the scale.

He is so old, but his temper is still like a child. Does he really think that everyone treats him like a family member and spoils him?

The guide complained bitterly in his heart, but for the sake of face and everyone's future business, he had to act as a peacemaker.

Just as the guide was racking his brains to smooth things over, Lin Xi had already seen the so-called Old Man Wang.

He is a plain-looking old man.

From a narrow forehead, broad cheekbones, and even a gloomy look in the eyes, it is not difficult to tell that the other person is a narrow-minded and vengeful person.

After Old Man Wang came out, his eyes immediately fell on Ma Shangqiu, with obvious resentment in his eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Xi looked at Old Man Wang expressionlessly, his tone unable to conceal his disgust.

"Because of a small quarrel, you did such a vicious and harmful thing. It seems that you have lived in vain for the past few decades. You are worse than a three-year-old child."

The guide on the side was stunned when he heard this.

What's the meaning?

What evil things did Old Man Wang do?

After hearing what Lin Xi said, how could Ma Shangyu not know that what happened to him was the result of the old man in front of him!

After confirming this, Ma Shangyu was so angry that he started cursing.

"You stinky old man, you are such a grown man, but your heart is smaller than the eye of a needle. What have I done to you to let you hurt me like this? You..."

Ma Shangqi was so angry that he scolded Old Man Wang without considering his age at all.

What does it mean to respect the elderly and love the young?

Pooh!

Someone as vicious as Old Man Wang is not worthy at all!

"What's going on here? Boss Ma, is there some misunderstanding?"

Seeing Ma Shangqiu so excited, the guide realized that the matter might be more serious than he imagined, and hurriedly asked about the situation.

But Ma Shangqiu was so angry that he couldn't stop cursing, so he could only turn around and ask Old Man Wang.

Old man Wang didn't have time to answer his questions.

When he heard Lin Xi scolding him, his face suddenly darkened.

Although he felt guilty and nervous, he was sure that what he did was very cautious and secretive. Even his own son Wang Hu was unaware of it. He didn't believe that Ma Shangyu and this yellow-haired girl who came from nowhere would know!

They are definitely bluffing and trying to trick me by accusing me like this now.

After thinking about it, Old Man Wang calmed down.

"I think you guys are the ones who offended others with your own evil hearts. I don't know who taught you a lesson, and you can't find anyone to vent your anger on, so you come to me, an old man with no money and no power! I'm useless. I've lived a clean life, and I don't want you to slander me like this!"

"Even if you want to frame me, you have to produce some evidence. If you don't just rely on your words, is there any justice in this world?"

As Old Man Wang said this, he walked out and started shouting at the top of his voice to protest his injustice, as if his reputation had been trampled upon and he had been wronged.

His loud shouting quickly attracted many villagers.

As more and more people came, Old Man Wang felt more and more proud.

Don't think he doesn't know. Last time he had a conflict with Ma Shangyu because of the scale. Although the people in the village didn't say anything, in fact everyone was whispering about him behind his back.

It was obvious that he was an old neighbor who had lived with this group of people for decades, but this group of people did not stand on his side unconditionally just because Ma Shangqi was the boss of the purchasing station!

This Ma Shangqiu just has some dirty money, what’s so great about that!

Today he will let this group of people see what kind of person the "big boss" in their eyes is!

After the villagers gathered around, Old Man Wang began to cry and tell them about the pain he suffered at the hands of Ma Shangyu, who wronged and insulted him.

He was in his sixties, yet he was scolded like that by a young boy like Ma Shangyu.

He had hardly even left the house these days, but Ma Shangqiu said he had done something to him.
