Ye Laoda was listening nearby and whispered to Ye Dongkui, "Uncle Dongkui, who is his cousin? She must be quite old, right? Why would she still do something like this?"
"Isn't his cousin Wang Pozi? Besides her, who else in our village is so weird?"
"It turned out to be her!" Boss Ye suddenly realized.
If you think about it this way, it seems that Wang Po has not been very friendly since she returned to Rongxi Village.
"It seems my family has never offended her!" Boss Ye was puzzled. "Could it be that because she has a good relationship with Widow Liu, she holds a grudge against my family because of Widow Liu's matter?"
Ye Dongkui shook his head and said, "Every day she's either calculating this or asking for divination, and she always acts according to the results of her calculations, so her behavior is very unpredictable.
"Your family just came back and you don't know, but she used to cause a lot of trouble in the village.
“It’s only become quieter in recent years as I’ve gotten older.
"Just wait and see. The village chief will have to go and settle accounts with her again."
Ye Dongkui's words seemed to have a hidden meaning, but before Boss Ye could ask in detail, Wang Guangping had already asked about the whole story.
"It's that old witch again! I thought she had finally settled down in the past few years, but who knew she was still messing around behind the scenes!"
As Wang Guangping spoke, he stood up suddenly, forgetting about Ye Dongkui and Ye Lao Da, and rushed out of Wang Rongfa's house to settle the score with Wang Po.
It was the first time that Boss Ye saw Wang Guangping so angry.
"Uncle Dongkui, this..."
"Let the village chief handle this matter. Let's go and set the line first."
Boss Ye could tell that Ye Dongkui didn't want to talk about this at Wang Rongfa's house, so he nodded quickly and said, "Yes, we've been delayed by this matter since early this morning. Let's hurry up."
Boss Ye followed Ye Dongkui out of Wang Rongfa's house. When he heard hurried footsteps behind him, he quickly turned around to check.
Wang Changle chased out, his face flushed red as he said, "Brother Ye, I'm sorry!"
Without waiting for Boss Ye to speak, Ye Dongkui spat on the ground, pulled him and walked away quickly.
Seeing this, Wang Changle's face suddenly turned pale, as if all his energy had been drained away. His whole body went limp, and he only managed to avoid collapsing by leaning against the door frame.
Boss Ye followed Ye Dongkui to the house site, which had been cleaned and roughly leveled yesterday. Seeing that no one was around, he couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Dongkui, did the village chief have any grudges with Mrs. Wang?"
"Well, this is a long story." Ye Dongkui no longer had the anxiety in his previous words. He squatted under a tree, took out his pipe, stuffed it with tobacco, lit it, took two puffs of the cigarette, and then began to speak slowly.
"The village chief originally had a younger son, nicknamed Chunsheng.
"Chunsheng has had red lips and white teeth since he was young, and he looks like a beautiful young man.
"Besides, Chunsheng is not only good-looking, but also extremely intelligent.
"At that time, everyone in the village said that the village chief's family might have a golden boy who was reincarnated, and that Chunsheng would definitely have a great future.
"Chunsheng has always studied very hard and he is very smart. Everyone says that he will definitely pass the imperial examination.
"As a result, when he was thirteen years old and was about to take the Tongsheng exam, Wang Po, who knew what she had figured out, kept finding ways to get around him." Later, Chunsheng seemed to be possessed by a demon. He refused to study anymore and insisted on going to the capital to make a living.
"The village chief naturally disagreed and tried to dissuade Chunsheng in every way, and finally put him under strict supervision.
"But that autumn, Chunsheng took advantage of the time when everyone in the village was rushing to harvest their crops, left a letter, and ran away.
"The letter said that he was going to the capital to make a living and that when he became successful, he would definitely repay his parents' kindness.
"When the village chief saw the letter, he went crazy. He sent people everywhere to look for Chunsheng's whereabouts, and at the same time he went to see Mrs. Wang himself.
"At that time, Mrs. Wang kept saying that Chunsheng's fate was in the palace, not outside.
“If the villagers hadn’t stopped him that day, the village chief would have nearly strangled Mrs. Wang to death.
"Everyone searched for Chunsheng for a long time but couldn't find his whereabouts. The village chief himself even spent half a year searching in the capital.
"Later, the family received a letter from Chunsheng, saying that he had entered the palace and would contact them again when he had made a name for himself.
"The village chief just returned from the capital, and he's been waiting day and night for his son to send him another letter.
"But it's been several years, and there's still no news from Chunsheng.
“The villagers privately said that the person was probably dead a long time ago. It’s not a place that ordinary people can survive in, where people are eaten without leaving any bones.
“But the village chief still refused to give up, thinking that no news was good news.
"Every year after the autumn harvest, he would wander the streets and alleys of the capital, hoping to meet Chunsheng.
"So, how could he not hate Mrs. Wang?"
Boss Ye was dumbfounded when he heard this. He never expected that such a thing had happened in the village chief's family before.
But he always felt that something was wrong here.
Ye Dongkui finished his story and his cigarette. He knocked the pipe clean and put it back on his waist. He said to Ye Laodao, "Let's go. Let's release the string quickly."
Boss Ye suddenly shouted "Ah".
"What are you shouting about!" Ye Dongkui was startled by him.
"Uncle Dongkui, that Chunsheng, he..." Boss Ye said incoherently, "He's a boy, thirteen years old, entering the palace, doesn't that mean...
"Isn't it that...that..."
Boss Ye didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only reach out and gesture at his lower abdomen.
