Boss Ye pulled the cart and finally stopped at an open space at the edge of the village, intending to settle down there first and then think of a solution.
Seeing that it was getting late and the children were hungry, Mrs. Ye asked her sisters-in-law to prepare a stove and cook, and asked the men to discuss business with Old Lady Ye.
"Mom, what do you think we should do?" asked Boss Ye.
Old Madam Ye thought for a moment and said, "How about we go and ask the village chief first?"
"Okay." Boss Ye nodded, "Mom, I'll go with you."
Before leaving, Old Mrs. Ye took out a piece of cloth from the car, rolled it up and stuffed it into her sleeve, and then took Qingtian from Mrs. Ye's arms.
"Let's go, Sunny, and go with grandma, okay?"
"Okay!" Although Qingtian didn't know what to do, he agreed readily.
"What do you mean, mother? Why did you bring Qingtian with you?" Guo's face was full of confusion.
"You don't understand. It's easier to talk to him if you hold the child in your arms," said Mrs. Ye.
"What don't I understand? I'm going to be a mother soon, okay?" Guo immediately reached out and gently stroked her belly.
Mrs. Ye couldn't bear to watch and said, "Stop it, wait until you're pregnant before touching me!"
The three people returned to the village and were about to ask someone where the village chief's house was when they ran into a woman in her forties who looked very friendly.
"Sister, could you please tell me where the village chief's home is?"
The woman was suddenly stopped. She looked up and saw a stranger she didn't recognize. She asked cautiously, "Which village are you from? What do you want to see the village chief for?"
"We came from out of town to stay with our relatives and wanted to ask the village chief about the situation."
The woman, perhaps because she saw that Old Lady Ye had a kind face and was holding a cute little girl in her arms, and didn't look like a bad person, turned around and pointed to something not far away and said, "Do you see that roof? The village chief's house is the only brick house in the village. You'll see it soon if you walk towards it."
Following the woman's instructions, the three people quickly found the village chief's house.
After all, most of the houses in the village are low adobe houses, and those with better conditions only have some tiles on the roof, and most of them are still covered with thatch.
Therefore, the only tall brick house stands out in the village.
Arriving at the village chief's door, Boss Ye stepped forward and knocked gently a few times.
"Here I am. Who is it?" Soon a middle-aged woman came out to answer the door.
Seeing three strangers standing outside the door, the woman's first reaction was to close the door.
Old Madam Ye quickly stepped forward and said, "Madam, we are here to see the village chief."
Seeing that Old Lady Ye was still holding a delicate little girl in her arms, the woman was a little less frightened than before, but she still closed the door with only a small gap.
"What's the matter?"
Old Mrs. Ye had no choice but to say again: "We are back from outside the Great Wall to visit relatives, and we want to ask the village chief about the situation."
Old Mrs. Ye said as she stuffed the fabric in her sleeves through the crack of the door: "Don't worry, this is my eldest son, and this is my granddaughter Qingtian. We are really not bad people."
The woman took the fabric, twisted it with her fingers calmly, and confirmed that the quality of the fabric was good. Her expression immediately eased a lot.
"Then you come in first." The woman opened the gate.
Old Madam Ye smiled and asked, "What's your name, Madam?"
"My last name is Huang, but everyone in the village follows my husband and calls me Mrs. Wang," said the woman.
Old Mrs. Ye's heart suddenly skipped a beat. If that was the case, then the village chief's surname was also Wang?
Isn't this the end?
She thought as she followed Huang into the house.
"You guys sit down first, I'll go call him out." Huang said as she went into the inner room.
Soon, Huang led a man in his fifties out of the house and introduced him to Old Lady Ye: "This is the head of our family."
Perhaps because the piece of fabric was given in the right place, Wang Guangping's attitude was quite kind.
He nodded and said, "My name is Wang Guangping, and I'm the village chief of Rongxi Village. You don't have to be polite. Sit down and talk."
Old Mrs. Ye and Boss Ye quickly stood up and greeted, "Hello, Village Chief."
Wang Guangping calmly looked at the three members of the Ye family, grandfather and grandson, and asked, "I heard you're here looking for relatives? Which family are you looking for?"
"I am Ye Donghai's daughter-in-law..." said Old Mrs. Ye.
When Wang Guangping heard the name, his expression changed slightly, and he sat up straighter. He interrupted Old Lady Ye and said, "So it's the Ye family? Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier?
“To be honest, although I am the village chief, the affairs of your Ye family are all managed by your Ye clan leader.
"Firstly, I can't control it, secondly, I don't know how to control it, and thirdly, I don't dare to control it.
"So no matter what you have to do, you have to go to the county town to find your clan leader. It's useless to find me."
Wang Guangping had said so much, there was nothing that Old Lady Ye did not understand.
"We are indeed abrupt. We won't bother you anymore!"
After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked out holding Qingtian in her arms.
Boss Ye was unwilling and glared at Wang Guangping, but finally he held back and turned around to leave with Old Lady Ye.
After the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren left, the door curtain of the inner room was lifted, and Widow Liu and Huang came out together.
Widow Liu smiled with wrinkles on her face and said, "Thank you so much, Village Chief, for helping us, an orphan and a widow!"
Wang Guangping's attitude was completely different from before.
"Sister-in-law, you can't write two characters for the character "王" with one stroke. We are all family. If I don't support you, who else can I support?
Widow Liu said repeatedly, "When Dafeng comes back from the city, I'll ask the couple to come and see you!"
