"What explanation do you want?" Wang Guangping frowned and looked at Tiejun's mother who came to find him.
After seeing the village chief, Tiejun's wife's momentum for seeking justice weakened a little, but she still said unconvincedly, "Wild boars broke into both my house and Ye Qingyuan's yesterday. My wild boar was obviously bigger and more ferocious. Why did you go to Ye Qingyuan's house first and then to mine?"
If it was just the wild boar that entered, Tiejun's mother might not be so angry.
But she had just taken a detour and passed by Ye Qingyuan's house, and found that his yard was tidy and neat, not at all as messy as her own. She felt even more unbalanced.
"Ye Qingyuan's family consists of three people, and there's a pregnant woman who's about to give birth. His house isn't nearly as sturdy as yours.
“So is it wrong for me to take people to his house first?
"And did I also send someone to your house to help?
"Besides, Boss Ye just returned to the village this year. Before he was gone, didn't the villagers die?"
Tiejun's wife, however, didn't quite believe Wang Guangping's words and frowned, saying, "Village Chief, there's no need for you to cover up for him. They all have the surname Ye. How could he not favor Ye Qingyuan's family?"
Wang Guangping was very dissatisfied with Tiejun's mother's unreasonable behavior, and his voice became stern.
"He's a newcomer. Even if he wants to go to Ye Qingyuan's house, will anyone listen to him if I don't agree?
“If you don’t believe it, you can ask other people in the village.
"The situation was urgent last night, and this was the best solution I could think of.
"If you have any dissatisfaction, just come to me!"
Wang Guangping thought that after he said this, Tiejun's mother would stop making trouble.
Unexpectedly, Tiejun's mother was stunned for a moment, then said, "Just because Boss Ye was commended by the emperor, you are protecting him like this?"
Wang Guangping was almost amused by her and said, "Boss Ye had no obligation to help your family hunt wild boars in the first place, and now he's helping you in the wrong way?
"If it weren't for Boss Ye's help, your family would have collapsed by now. How can you still have the time to mess around with me?
"Why didn't I realize before that your family was such ungrateful people?"
"I..." Tiejun's mother was dissatisfied in her heart, but she couldn't argue with Wang Guangping, so she could only walk out angrily.
As soon as I walked out of Wang Guangping's house, I ran into Ye Lao Da and Ye Qingyuan who came to look for Wang Guangping.
Tiejun's mother's face suddenly turned serious, and she turned and walked in another direction.
"Tiejun's mother..." Ye Qingyuan had just learned from Boss Ye this morning that Wang Tiejun's family had also been harmed by wild boars. So when he saw Tiejun's mother, he wanted to ask about his family's situation and show his concern, but who knew that she turned around and left with a dark face.
"What's going on?"
Ye Qingyuan was puzzled. Even if Tiejun's mother didn't want to bother with him, Boss Ye was still here!
Brother Ye helped his family kill the wild boar yesterday, so he should at least express his gratitude, right?
Boss Ye didn't notice anything at all and walked straight into the gate of Wang Guangping's house.
"Village Chief, what do you want to talk to us about?"
"Boss and Qingyuan are here, let's go inside first. Tiejun hasn't come yet, let's talk when he comes."
Wang Guangping invited the two men into the house and waited for a while before Wang Tiejun finally arrived.
"Village chief, I'm here."
Because of the accusations made by Tiejun's mother just now, Wang Guangping was still very angry when he saw Wang Tiejun. He just nodded and motioned him to sit down.
"The reason I called you here today is to discuss how to divide up the two wild boars that entered the village last night."
Wang Guangping deliberately only mentioned two wild boars, because the wild boars, one big and five small, that broke into the Ye family’s house were all dealt with by the Ye family themselves. They belonged entirely to them, and there was no question of whether they should be distributed or not.
What he wanted to talk about were the two people who broke into Ye Qingyuan and Wang Tiejun's homes.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Boss Ye immediately spoke out, "Village Chief, my family will not participate in the distribution of these two wild boars. Let the village divide them however they see fit!"
"Boss, you killed both wild boars. If it weren't for you, who knows how much more trouble there would have been yesterday. You are the one who deserves the pork the most!"
"Village chief, there's really no need. I just killed one over there. We can't even eat all the meat."
After hearing this, Wang Guangping glanced at Wang Tiejun from the corner of his eye, took in his expression, and said, "Boss, you're not saying this because you've heard some bad gossip in the village, are you?"
"Ah? What's the gossip in the village?" Boss Ye was confused. He was exhausted from hunting wild boars last night and fell asleep soundly in his daughter's arms in the morning.
If Wang Guangping hadn't sent someone to call him, he would probably still be fast asleep, completely unaware of what had happened in the village.
Wang Guangping waved his hand and said, "Nothing. If it were up to you, what would be the most appropriate way to divide it?"
Boss Ye declined a few times, but Wan Guangping insisted that he speak.
He had no choice but to say: "Then I'll just say it casually. Please bear with me if I'm right or not.
"I was thinking that last night both the Qingyuan and Tiejun families were badly damaged by wild boars, so we should first give them more to offset their losses.
"Secondly, many villagers came out to help round up the wild boars, and they all contributed, so these families should get a slightly larger share.
"As for the leftovers, why not divide them equally among the other families in the village? It's almost New Year, so let's all enjoy some meat together."
After Ye Lao Da finished expressing his thoughts, he added, "But I'm just saying this casually. In the end, it all depends on what the village decides."
