Looking at the scenes inside, Shen Yao couldn't help but click her tongue twice, and then withdrew her mental strength.

I haven't seen you for a year. I didn't expect that the entire Ye family would move into a place like this.

Judging from the Ye family’s appearance, their situation seems to be very bad and their life is very difficult.

But it was strange that she didn't see Ye Cailian and Ye Zhiguo inside. She wondered what was happening to the father and daughter?

Shen Yao stopped and turned to ask Shen Qiu who was walking behind her, "Sister Qiu, do you know what the Ye family is like now?"

"Yes, I know." Shen Qiu was stunned for a moment when he suddenly heard her mention the Ye family, then nodded in response.

She pulled Lin Xi and walked a few steps to Shen Yao, then slowly told her what she had heard.

After hearing this, Shen Yao's eyes flickered and she said, "So, Ye Zhiguo was punished by the county leaders for embezzling the village's public funds and his improper behavior?"

Ye Zhiguo is now 45 or 46 years old. If he goes to such a tough place like Northeast China, I don’t know how many years he can survive.

After all, the Ye family has been known as a notorious lazy family in the village in recent years.

In the past, the Ye family relied on the things and gold bars they smuggled out from Uncle Shen's house to make a living. They had no shortage of food and clothing and lived a very comfortable life.

Because of this, the Ye family had the ability to plant crops when they wanted to in the fields, and to leave them alone and let the crops grow wild if they didn't want to.

Afterwards, rural cooperatives were established, all land was taken over by the state, and the people began to work and earn work points, and their food was divided according to the number of work points they earned.

However, the Ye family had no worries about food and drink, and Ye Zhiguo was still the village accountant. Therefore, the family had not worked for a few days in the past few years.

The people of the Ye family are usually lazy, so how can they bear doing heavy work all of a sudden?

Even Li Zhaodi couldn't get used to it, let alone Ye Zhiguo who had been doing farm work for many years and had never done any farm work.

"Yes, when the people from the county came down to check the accounts, my father and the village officials were shocked. No one had expected that Ye Zhiguo would dare to falsify the information openly and embezzle hundreds of yuan of the village's public funds." Shen Qiu nodded and said.

Ever since Ye Zhiguo became the accountant of Shenjia Village, he locked all the account books in the cupboard and did not allow others to look at them.

Even every time her father asked about the public funding, Ye Zhiguo would not let him see it.

Every time, he directly swore that there was no problem with the expenses and that the accounts all matched.

In addition, he had the support of the people from the commune behind him, so Ye Zhiguo did not take other cadres in the village seriously at all.

Even though her father was the village chief, there was still nothing they could do to him.

After all, in Ye Zhiguo's eyes, no matter how powerful the village chief is, he cannot match the people of the commune.

Just because he had someone behind him, he was able to recklessly take the public funds that belonged to the village and take them home.

Afterwards, Shen Qiu thought for a moment and continued, "The commune secretary was also removed at the same time, and that secretary was punished together with Ye Zhiguo."

After that, Shen Qiu added, "I heard from my mother and sister-in-law that the new secretary is a good person and very efficient. Since he took office, he has often visited various villages to inspect work and is very concerned about the survival of the people."

Shen Yao thought, "That's good. With a leader who cares about the people, the people below will have a better life."

Then, she asked again, "What about Ye Cailian? Was she married off by Li Zhaodi?"

Shen Qiu nodded immediately, with a gloating smile in his eyes, "Yes, because Ye Zhiguo embezzled the village's money, the Ye family was collectively punished. When will they correct their bad habits so that they can do easier farm work.

In addition, the Ye family's house was used as collateral for the debt, so the family had no place to live. In addition, Ye Zhiguo was punished again. After a few days, Li Zhaodi directly exchanged Ye Cailian for a betrothal gift."

In fact, it would be more accurate to say that Ye Cailian was sold by Li Zhaodi rather than being married off.

Shen Yao's eyes were dark, and she said thoughtfully, "This ending is quite suitable for their family."

Frankly speaking, whether it was the end of the Ye family or the fate of Ye Cailian, they all had their own fault.

If the Ye family had had a little more conscience and treated their fellow villagers better over the years, they wouldn't have ended up like this.

As the village accountant, he is in charge of the public funds accounts of the entire Shenjia Village.

However, Ye Zhiguo did not set an example by making the amount of expenses public so that the villagers would know. Instead, he privately used the funds earned by all the villagers through hard work.

What he did was extremely inappropriate. If he had any conscience, he would not do such a cold-blooded thing.

It is estimated that when Ye Zhiguo embezzled the village’s public funds, he never thought about what would happen if the village ran out of agricultural tools or broke down and needed to buy new ones.

He was completely selfish in doing this. He only cared about himself and did not care about the lives of thousands of people in Shenjia Village.

Moreover, apart from Ye Zhiguo, Li Zhaodi is also very domineering in the village and behaves in an extremely arrogant manner.

If any villager did not obey her, she would immediately scold him.

Afterwards, she would take her two daughters-in-law to that family's home to find fault, and only then would the anger in her heart subside.

The two sons of the Ye family and Ye Cailian’s tempers are not much better.

Relying on the fact that their families are rich and that their fathers are accountants, these few people have a very bad attitude towards the villagers in the village, and there is always contempt and disgust in their eyes.

They think that because their families are rich they are superior to other people in the village.

Therefore, when he looked at people and things, he was always irritated, as if it was a very glorious thing for his Ye family to use other people's money.

Therefore, Ye Zhiguo was taken to the most difficult place to repent, and Ye Cailian was sold by Li Zhaodi in exchange for food and dowry.

No villager would pity their family, and no one would think that such punishment was too cruel.

After all, all of this was the result of the Ye family's evil deeds, and they reaped the consequences.

Shen Yao was deep in thought all the way, and only when she brought Shen Qiu and Lin Xi to the edge of the mountains did she put away her thoughts.

"Ahhh - Yaoyao, Xiaoxi, come quickly, there are so many wild sweet potatoes here."

Looking at a large patch of wild sweet potatoes in the grass, Shen Qiu suddenly became so excited that he couldn't help but shout out in surprise.

She hurriedly squatted down, picked seven or eight wild sweet potatoes, broke them in half with her hands and started eating.

It tasted so sweet and fragrant that it filled her mouth, so sweet that her eyebrows narrowed into slits.

Mmm-it's so delicious!

She has been enjoying this flavor since she was a child, and no matter how she eats it, she never gets sick of it.

Hearing Shen Qiu's sudden joyful voice, Shen Yao and Lin Xi hurried over.

Looking at the large field of red wild sweet potatoes in front of her, Shen Yao's eyes lit up with joy.
