But the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
The mountain road was difficult to travel on, and with so many deer on the cart, it was so heavy that it left deep ruts on the ground. The four people tried their best to push and pull, but it was still difficult to move forward.
Soon, several people were tired and hungry. They ate all the lunch they brought on the spot before continuing to push down the mountain.
As the sun was about to set, a few people finally saw the outline of the village.
In the morning, Ye Laosi came down from the mountain, went home, took two people's hands, and drove the car up the mountain. Many people in the village saw it, and everyone was curious.
"What did the Ye family hunt again? Why is there such a big fuss about it?"
“Who says it’s not?”
"Old Fourth Ye just suffered a setback in love, but maybe he'll find success somewhere else!"
After listening to everyone's discussions, everyone's curiosity grew.
More importantly, now that the autumn harvest is over, it is the time when the villagers are the least busy. If there is anything new, they will gather around to watch for a long time.
Since everyone was so interested, they simply formed a circle at the foot of the mountain and waited for the people from the Ye family to come back.
Even the women who usually gathered under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village to do needlework came over with their baskets when they saw the excitement here.
More than 30 people gathered at once, and everyone started chatting at the same time, it was so noisy.
"Let me tell you, have you heard? The wife of the fourth son of the Ye family didn't elope with Wang Fugui at all. Instead, she was deceived by Wang Fugui and sold to a brothel in the city, where she was tortured to death."
"That's impossible? Guo is still pregnant. How can Wang Fugui be so cruel?"
"Haven't you heard that gamblers are completely inhumane in the end? Wang Fugui sold Guo instead of his own wife, so he can be considered to have a conscience."
"Oh my god, that would be a lot of suffering!"
“Who says it’s not?”
"No wonder the government arrested Wang Fugui directly. This isn't as simple as eloping."
"It's hard to say. Eloping means being thrown into a pig cage. The Ye family won't let Wang Fugui off so easily.
"On the contrary, it's safer to be locked up in a prison. Don't you agree?"
The women who were gossiping quickly returned to their needlework, but the men who had heard the gossip put their heads together and muttered something to each other.
Ye Juan'er arrived late today and overheard something when she passed by them. Her face changed immediately.
"I'm going to die. You guys are such a waste of time. You're just thinking about that little piece of meat under your crotch every day. You dare to say anything!"
Someone who was familiar with her said, "We are just talking about our own thing. Who asked you to come and listen?"
"You all have children now. If not for yourselves, please be kind to your children!" Ye Juaner said, rolling her eyes before leaving.
The young men who had just gathered together to talk dirty now felt embarrassed and quickly separated and didn't mention it again.
Everyone chattered and waited for a long time, and their stomachs were growling with hunger.
Since no one came back, they all went home for dinner one after another.
Unexpectedly, everyone gathered together again in the afternoon.
It was not until the sky gradually darkened that someone finally saw them appear halfway up the mountain.
"Here they come." Madam Wang Er suddenly shouted, startling Ye Juan'er.
"We're not blind or deaf, so why are you shouting like that? I don't know what you're up to.
As soon as they heard they were coming, everyone stretched their necks and looked towards the hillside.
Sure enough, I saw Boss Ye and others pulling carts and supporting carts, walking towards the foot of the mountain.
But the car was covered with something, so it was impossible to see what was hunted.
"Big Boss, Fourth Brother, are you back? What did you hunt?" Madam Wang Er was the first to come forward, twisting her waist and reaching out to pull the cloth covering it.
Fortunately, Ye Juan'er reacted very quickly. She took two steps forward, took Wang Er Niang's arm and said, "What's so good about it when it's all bloody?"
But the more mysterious the Ye family acted, the more these people wanted to know what was in the car.
So Ye Juan'er helped the old Ye family smooth things over, saying, "Why are you so anxious? If he can't finish the prey he hunts, he'll have to sell it in the village. We'll know the result then.
Under Ye Juaner's cover, Boss Ye and his men finally escaped and quickly ran back home.
Madam Wang Er spat at their backs and said, "If you ask me, the Ye family is really generous. Their daughter-in-law was unfaithful to her husband, and two people were killed, yet they still have the leisure to go hunting in the mountains..."
Ye Juan'er didn't indulge her bad habits and said directly, "What's wrong with hunting? The New Year is coming soon, and everyone is busy preparing for the New Year.
"What else? Dress your daughter-in-law in mourning and carry her to the funeral procession?"
"Why do you talk like that..." Madam Wang Er was so angry at Ye Juan'er's words that her neck hurt.
But the people around her obviously agreed more with Ye Juaner's words. After waiting for a long time and seeing no one agreeing, she left in shame.
Ye Juan'er watched Madam Wang Er leave from behind, and deliberately said in a voice she could hear: "Some people just like to worry about other people's affairs first, and they are quite nosy about things that have nothing to do with them.
"Whether it's good or not, there are officials above us, and they will naturally make a decision. Why do we need her to judge the case from a distance?"
But even though Ye Juan'er had said so much on behalf of the Ye family, there were still people who followed curiously to see what was going on.
In particular, the car of the old Ye family looked particularly heavy, leaving deep ruts on the ground.
