Chapter 334: Inquiring for Information

"Mom, this is what my second aunt gave me." Ye Yunli ran over and showed Fang the two candies in his hand.

Fang subconsciously wanted Ye Yunli to throw it away, but Ye Mingzhu gently supported her arm: "Aunt, there are guests at home. Should we let them in?"

Fang finally came back to her senses and let Ye Yunli go play first, then she smiled at Fang Niu and said, "Why are you here today, second sister-in-law? I didn't see you when I went home yesterday."

Fang Niu was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said, "Yesterday was the day I went back to my parents' home. I went back and came back today. I heard that you didn't go back, so I came to see you."

She asked tentatively, "Why didn't you go home yesterday?"

Logically speaking, Fang's parents-in-law have passed away, and she has no daughter, so she should go back to see her parents.

But before the Lunar New Year, Second Brother Fang came to cause trouble, and she was upset. She also wanted to send her two sons to town, so she thought of receiving Ye Mingzhu on the second day of the Lunar New Year and then going back to her parents' home another day.

She had someone send a letter to her mother's home about this plan, and she didn't believe that her second sister-in-law didn't know about it.

"Although I don't have a daughter, I have a niece. The second day of the Chinese New Year is the first time my niece returns to her parents' home. I have to wait for her at home. I told my mother about this before the New Year. Didn't she tell you?"

Fang now looked at Fang Niu with displeasure and began to mock her while talking.

Fang Niu just forgot about it for a moment. She smiled awkwardly and peeked into the room: "Why didn't I see my brother-in-law today? He must have gone out."

After these words were spoken, Fang and Ye Mingzhu looked at each other and both felt that Fang Niu was here to inquire about the news. Otherwise, how could a sister-in-law from her natal family come to visit and ask about her brother-in-law? How shameless she must be.

Fang thought so and said it out loud, which made Fang Niu blush.

"I, I'm not asking casually."

Fang Niu felt that something was wrong with Fang today. She thought that she knew something and was a little scared, but she wanted to find out more about the news.

She gritted her teeth, walked into the house, and started talking about all sorts of things, either asking where Yunping had gone or whether they had been out recently, trying not to be too obvious in her attempts to gather information.

When they entered the house just now, Ye Mingzhu had already quietly asked Ye Yunli to go find the village chief.

If Wan Fang's second uncle and the others really did something illegal, she would definitely drag Third Uncle Ye into it.

Even if Third Uncle Ye didn't know what had happened, the blood on his body was real. If Second Uncle Fang and the others got desperate and tried to implicate Third Uncle Ye, it would be troublesome.

Fang Niu was still rambling when Ye Yunli quietly walked in and whispered in Ye Mingzhu's ear, "Sister, the village chief said he knows and asked me to give the clothes to him."

Ye Mingzhu nodded and told him to go find Uncle Ye and not to stay here.

This matter involves people from other villages, so only the village chief is most suitable to step in. He has to get involved even if he doesn't want to.

When Fang Niu saw Ye Yunli walking out, she called him and asked him where he was going.

Ye Mingzhu winked at him, telling him to leave, and then said with a smile, "Yunli, go see Yunping."

Fang Niu stood up and said, "What happened to Yunping? I'll go see Yunping too."

Fang glared at her from behind: "I don't know which bastard hit Yunping on the head, causing him to lie in bed."

The anger in Fang's voice was too obvious. Fang Niu looked back at her and asked tentatively, "Sister, do you know who hurt Yunping? I'll go back and tell your second brother, and we can go together to seek justice for Yunping."

"...I don't know." Fang said this through gritted teeth.

"Aunt San, why don't we go see Yunping together." Ye Mingzhu didn't want to say anything more, lest Fang Shi couldn't hold it in anymore and started a quarrel with Fang Niu Shi.

"Yes, let's go see Yunping, let's go see Yunping." Fang Niu nodded hurriedly and walked out the door first.

Fang pursed her lips and gritted her teeth, trying hard to calm down behind Fang Niu. Ye Mingzhu walked up to her and whispered, "Aunt San, Yunli has already gone to call the village chief. You should be patient, otherwise they will throw the blame on Uncle San."

This made Fang sober up a lot. She forced a smile and said, "I understand."

Fang Niu just turned around, and Fang quickly stepped forward, pulled her, and the two of them went to Ye Yunping's room together.

Ye Yunping was still in a coma, and apart from his pale complexion, nothing else could be seen.

Fang Niu touched his forehead and said, "I think Yunping is fine too."

There was a hint of regret in these words, which immediately made Fang's anger rise: "Why, you seem disappointed that Yunping is okay?"

"No." Fang Niu answered quickly, "I am Yunping's aunt, how could I have such thoughts? I didn't know Yunping was injured in advance. If I had known, I would have brought some things for Yunping."

"It's no big deal if you don't have anything with you. As long as you have money, you can buy a lot of things." Ye Mingzhu said with a smile, looking Fang Niu up and down, "You are Yunping's aunt, just give me the money."

After she said this, she glanced at Fang.

Fang was confused at first, but soon understood what Ye Mingzhu meant. Although she hated them, it was they who caused Yunping to be like this, so it would not be too much to ask them for any amount of money.

"Second sister-in-law, you are Yunping's aunt, so just give me two old hens and the money for a bag of brown sugar."

"Aunt San, Yunping's injury is not light. He must eat more good food in the future. Erping's second aunt must bring at least a basket of eggs." Ye Mingzhu was determined to make the other party lose money.

"Mingzhu is still very thoughtful." Fang nodded and extended her hand directly in front of Fang Niu.

Fang Niu was about to jump up and down. Who would bring so many things to visit their injured nephew? These two people were trying to rob her.

Fang asked her sister-in-law for so much money. Does that mean she is not planning to go back to her parents' home?

Fang Niu didn't want to give the money, but Fang's hand was already in front of her, and it would be awkward if she insisted on not giving it.

She actually guessed right about one thing. Fang just didn't plan to have anything to do with her anymore. What she wanted was compensation for hurting Yun Ping.

Under the joint pressure of Fang and Ye Mingzhu, Fang Niu could only take out ten copper coins.

Fang said with disdain: "Second sister-in-law, you came to visit your nephew from your mother-in-law's family, and you only brought a few copper coins. Do you look down on me?"

This was almost the beginning of a catastrophe. Fang Niu had no choice but to take out ten copper coins from her pocket and put them in Fang's hand. Without waiting for Fang to say anything, she walked out.

"I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

Ye Mingzhu didn't let Fang stop her, and the two of them just watched her walk out.

As soon as Fang Niu left, the village head came in with him: "Mrs. Fang, is what your Yunli said to me true?"

Uncle Ye had been listening to the noise outside in the house. When he heard this, he immediately walked out of the house with the bloody clothes he had just changed in his hands.
