Ye Qinggang's words made everyone else feel a chill on their backs, and several of them couldn't help but shrink their necks.
"That makes sense." Boss Ye nodded in agreement with Ye Qinggang's analysis. "Let's walk further into the mountains for another half an hour. If we still don't find anything, then we can go back home!"
As Boss Ye spoke, he continued walking into the mountains first, and everyone naturally followed him.
As he walked, he thought about the silver earrings in his sleeves.
For the villagers, silver earrings are already very precious jewelry.
The dowry for marrying off a daughter is just silver earrings, silver hairpins and silver bracelets.
If a woman in the village accidentally dropped her silver earrings, she would dig three feet into the ground until she found them.
But the earring was left hanging on the tree and no one came to look for it.
Then maybe the owner of the earrings has something to do with Ye Laizi's death!
Boss Ye had heard before that Ye Laizi was not honest outside and would go out to find women of questionable character as soon as he had a little money.
After marrying Xiao Huang, he was somewhat restrained at first, but his true colors were soon revealed and he started running away again.
Could it be that he came to the back mountain to have a secret meeting with another woman?
The small silver earrings didn't weigh much, but Boss Ye felt like they weighed down his sleeves.
He didn't know what he was thinking just now. He didn't tell others about such a big discovery. Instead, he secretly put the earrings away.
Forget it, I'll wait until I get back and talk to the village chief about the situation.
What if it has nothing to do with Ye Laizi's matter? It would be troublesome if too many people knew about it.
The group walked into the mountains for more than half an hour, but still found nothing.
"Okay, let's stop here today and go down the mountain." Boss Ye looked at the position of the sun above his head.
Now we start walking back and will be home just before lunch.
Everyone was a little tired at this time, so they naturally had no objection to what Boss Ye said.
The walk back was quick, and everyone soon returned to the foot of the mountain and talked to each other about the village.
"Okay, everyone go home. I'll tell the village chief about what happened in the mountains today."
"Okay, then we'll go first." Everyone walked towards the nearest path leading home.
Soon, only Ye Lao Da and Ye Qinggang were left on the same journey.
The two people were not very familiar with each other, and they had nothing to talk about as they walked side by side.
But in fact, Ye Qinggang secretly turned his head to look at Boss Ye several times.
Seeing that they were about to reach the door of their home if he didn't say anything, Ye Qing finally couldn't help but call out to Boss Ye.
"Brother, I, I want to ask something."
"What's the matter? Just tell me directly. We live next door to each other, so why shouldn't we talk about it?"
Boss Ye thought that he wanted to find someone to help take care of the elderly and children at home, or wanted to ask Old Lady Ye to help him speak well of her to his wife.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qinggang asked, "Brother Ye, if someone like me wants to go to the capital to find a job, will anyone hire me?"
"Ah?" Boss Ye was a little surprised, "You want to go to Beijing to work?
"If you want to find it, you can definitely find it, but whether the work is good or how much you can earn is hard to say. It depends on what you can do."
Ye Qinggang was instantly discouraged when he heard this. He didn't know anything except hunting and farming.
Now that people still have psychological trauma about hunting, isn’t farming the only thing left?
Seeing Ye Qinggang suddenly become dejected, Boss Ye couldn't help but ask, "Then tell me, why do you suddenly want to go to Beijing to make money?
"Hasn't your wife gone out to earn money? If you go to the capital again, what will happen to your family, young and old?"
"Brother Ye, you know that my family is in such a difficult situation. It is difficult for me to survive by farming alone. We have been living a tight life in the past few years.
"So when we occasionally quarrel, my wife will say that I am incompetent and cannot make money, making everyone in the family suffer.
“I used to not think it was a big deal, thinking that even though our family wasn’t well off, as long as we had enough food and clothes to eat, there was no need to worry too much.
"But now my wife has gone out to earn money and refuses to come home no matter what. I...
“I would be lying to say I wasn’t worried.
"But no matter how much I tried to give in or use the child as an excuse, she was determined not to come back.
"I've been busy at home these days, and when I couldn't sleep at night lying on the kang, I was angry at first, but then I started to think about a lot of things.
"As the saying goes, a man should be given clothes and food to wear. I am a grown man, but I can't even do this basic thing well. It's no wonder that my wife looks down on me.
"So I want to take advantage of the fact that the farm work is not busy now and go out to see if I can earn some extra money.
"Otherwise, if this continues, I'm really worried that one day my wife will really not want me or this family anymore."
"Your idea is not wrong, but given your family's current situation, if both of you go out, what will happen to the elderly and children?
"You can't really let your eldest son take care of his grandparents while taking care of his younger brother, right?"
"Brother Ye, I've thought about this too, and I think there are two ways to solve this problem.
"Or I can ask my sister and brother-in-law to move in with me and help me take care of the elderly and children, and help me look after the land. Then I can give them a little money every month, and I think they should be willing to come.
"Or let my parents and children move to Lujia Village, and let my wife take care of them."
