"Zhou Chun's situation was also terrible. He seemed to want to go to the outhouse, but instead of his own, he went to his neighbor's outhouse, and to make matters worse, he fell into it and drowned."

After Zhou Shizhou finished speaking, he shook his head speechlessly. "Tell me, what's going on here? Now there are four children left in the two families. Zhou Shu's family is okay, they have two elderly people who can take care of the two children. But Zhou Chun's family really has no one left. None of his uncles are willing to take in the two children."

“I couldn’t go to your sister’s house for the burial the next day because I was dealing with things in the village. If it weren’t for your big celebration, I wouldn’t have been able to come. The person hasn’t been buried yet. I consulted a geomancer, and they said it was a violent death. The person can’t be buried directly. The seven-day mourning period has to be over before the burial. We need to hold a ritual, otherwise, if the person enters the ancestral grave, they will bring misfortune to everyone in the village.”

Zhou Shizhou never expected that keeping Zhou Chun would bring such a terrible thing to the village. Now the government officials have gone to the village twice, constantly asking the villagers about their opinions of the two families.

"By the way, you should also be prepared that the government will probably come to your door to inquire about you. It seems that someone said that these two families have a grudge against you," Zhou Shizhou said worriedly.

Zhou Quan squinted. "I understand. Be careful on your way back this afternoon. I'll arrange for two people to take you there!"

Zhou Shizhou agreed, and Zhou Quan summoned the hidden guards and had two of them ride horses to escort the clan chief and his family back to the village.

After they left, Yun Chang appeared next to Zhou Quan and gestured for him to come next door to talk.
