After lunch, Ye Lao Da got on the family’s mule cart and drove back to the countryside with Ye Lao Er.
The two of them were now walking back from the capital, and they would arrive home just in time for dinner.
Unexpectedly, before I even sat down on the kang at home, Wang Guangping came after hearing the news.
"Boss, you're back!" Wang Guangping said, rubbing his hands at the door. "Thank you so much for rushing back from the capital."
"Village Chief, what you said is outrageous. Rongxi Village is also my home, and my family is all here!
"If there's anything going on in the village, it's only natural for me to come back and help."
After hearing what Boss Ye said, Wang Guangping breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Okay, you guys can have your meal, I won't disturb you.
"I've already found the rest of the people. They'll gather at your doorstep early tomorrow morning and go up the mountain with you.
"You are now the backbone of our village. If you don't come back, no one will dare to go up the mountain!"
"You're too polite, Village Chief." Boss Ye saw that Wan Guangping must have something to say, so he said, "How about this, after I finish my meal, I'll go to your house to find out more about the situation. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Guangping immediately said, "Okay, that's great. I'll go home and wait for you."
After saying this, Wang Guangping didn't hesitate any longer and turned around and left.
Old Madam Ye reached out and poured a bowl of rice to her son, saying, "Because of this incident, the village has been in a mess these days, and people are saying all kinds of things."
When Boss Ye heard this, he thought the old lady was saying something with a hidden meaning.
"Mom, what are people saying in the village?"
"Most people say that Ye Laizi deserves what he deserves, and that those who do evil will eventually perish.
"Some people also say that Xiao Huang is a jinx..."
When she said this, Mrs. Ye lowered her voice a lot.
"I heard that Xiao Huang's original husband was killed by wolves while hunting in the mountains.
"Now Ye Laizi is like this again...
"Well, it's no wonder there are these rumors in the village."
Upon hearing this, Boss Ye frowned slightly and said, "Were they all killed by wolves? Is this true? Could it be that the villagers made it up?"
"No!" Old Madam Ye said firmly, "Because Ye Laizi died, and Xiao Huang has to take care of the funeral with two children, so our neighbor Qing Gang's wife came back to help.
"Your aunt has a good relationship with Qinggang's wife. She told me all this. It can't be false."
"How did the villagers know about this? Could it be..." Boss Ye said as he looked up at Old Lady Ye.
After all, because the family was harvesting wild vegetables recently, people from all over the village often came to their house, so Old Mrs. Ye became more and more familiar with the villagers.
But spreading gossip behind someone's back is not a good thing, and it's not like the old lady's usual style.
As expected, seeing this, Old Lady Ye angrily glared at her eldest son and said, "What are you thinking! How could I have told anyone about this?
"Qinggang's wife is Xiao Huang's original sister-in-law. How did her brother die? How could the villagers not know? Do I need to tell them?"
"It's because we came later that we didn't know. Your aunt had to tell me."
Boss Ye finished eating quickly, wiped his mouth, stood up and said, "Okay, Mom, I'll go to the village chief's house first to ask about the situation.
"I always felt that he was hesitant to speak just now, as if he had something to tell me but was not in a position to do so."
"Then go quickly and come back early after the chat so as not to disturb others' sleep."
When Boss Ye arrived at the village chief's house, only Wang Guangping was waiting for him in the main hall.
"Boss, this matter, ah..." Wang Guangping started sighing before he even finished talking about the main matter.
“Actually, after discovering Ye Laizi’s death on the mountain, everyone helped Xiao Huang carry him back and prepared to hold the funeral and bury him.
“But I didn’t expect someone to suddenly show up and claim to be a distant relative of Ye Laizi.
"Not only did they not allow the villagers to bury the body, they also drove away Xiao Huang and her two children and occupied Ye Laizi's house and land.
"If Ye Laizi's last name was Wang, then I could deal with him directly.
"But I really don't understand the affairs of the Ye clan, and it's not appropriate for me to rashly go to your clan leader, so I had no choice but to invite you back."
Boss Ye finally understood what Wang Guangping meant.
Asking himself to lead people to hunt the wolf pack is secondary. The main reason is that the matter of Ye Lai Zi is stuck here and cannot be carried out.
He knew that Boss Ye had some influence in front of Patriarch Ye, so he found this excuse to ask Second Brother Ye to call him back.
Boss Ye thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I will take people up the mountain tomorrow to check out the location of the incident, so as to reassure the villagers.
"If I have time after I come back, I will go to the county town to see who this so-called distant relative of Ye Laizi is."
When Wang Guangping heard this, he felt relieved.
He smiled and said, “To be honest, this matter actually has nothing to do with me.
"But firstly, I'm the village chief, so I have to pay more attention to all the big and small things in the village.
"Secondly, I felt sorry for Madam Huang and her son. Lu Fei is such a good kid.
“Before, your mother came to speak for her, so I lent my oxen to Xiao Huangshi.
"Lü Fei took good care of the cows until they were returned. He even went to the mountains every day to cut grass and brought it to my house.
"Besides, when Ye Laizi was still alive, he beat Xiao Huang and the two children quite a bit.
"Now that the person is gone, it's no use giving the house and land to others, don't you think?"
After hearing what Wang Guangping said, Boss Ye immediately understood what was going on and knew his attitude.
"I also think Lu Fei is a good kid, a sensible and good kid.
