"Although he occasionally exchanges letters with his family, after all, no one has ever seen him, right?
"Besides, the Dalong family and Donglin are related by marriage, so it wouldn't be unreasonable for his family to live here, what do you think?"
After hearing what Wang Guangping said, Ye Dongming couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.
No wonder Rongxi Village has always been so poor. The village chief is just not very smart.
When he said this, wasn't it equivalent to admitting that the house where Widow Liu lived and the land she farmed belonged to Ye Donghai's family?
"The village chief is absolutely right." Old Mrs. Ye did not miss this opportunity and nodded immediately, "But now that our family is back, can the house and land be returned to their original owners?
“Although Qingshan was engaged to his family back then, the marriage never took place. His daughter Dafeng is married now, isn’t she?
"As for Wang Dalong's family, even though they have lived in my house for so many years, I don't intend to pursue the matter. I'll just assume they are helping my family look after the house.
"It's the same with the fields. We came back at the right time. The harvest is almost here this year, so my family will continue planting next year."
No matter how Wang Guangping reasoned, Old Lady Ye insisted on one thing.
For so many years, Widow Liu and her family have lived in her house and farmed her land for free.
Now she is generous and not only does she not pursue the matter, she also does not want any rent and just wants to return the property to its original owner.
Instead of being angry, Widow Liu and her family should be grateful to her.
"That's not what I meant..."
Wang Guangping began to sweat on his forehead. He didn't expect that an old country lady from outside the Great Wall could be so sensible.
He was racking his brains to think of an excuse, while Ye Dongming stood beside him with a calm look, showing no intention of offering to help.
Just when Wang Guangping was at a loss for an excuse, Wang Zhengbao suddenly ran in and said, "My uncle and aunt are home. My grandma asked me to ask when you guys are coming over."
Without waiting for Wang Guangping to speak, Ye Dongming smiled and quickly stood up and said, "I'll be right there."
Seeing this, Ye Lao Si became anxious. He stepped forward to block Ye Dongming's way and pointed at Wang Zhengbao, saying, "Clan leader, their family has occupied our ancestral home and land. You are the patriarch of the Ye clan, but you don't stand up for us. Are you going to take it out on the Wang family?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Dongming's face suddenly darkened and he immediately used his trump card.
"In the beginning, I was willing to believe you.
"Also, considering that you may have to live in the village in the future, I don't want to say some unpleasant things in front of Village Chief Wang.
"But since you said that, then I have to ask, you said you are Ye Donghai's family, do you have any proof?"
Wang Guangping's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thought to himself that Ye Dongming was indeed amazing. Why didn't he think of such a good reason!
He quickly chimed in, "That's right, words are not enough, do you have any evidence?
Old Madam Ye hurriedly took out the family letter she had been hiding in her arms and said, "This is the letter that my father-in-law had someone write to us..."
She wanted to give the letter to Ye Dongming, but Wang Guangping snatched it away.
Without even looking at it, he threw it directly into the teacup on the table.
Xuan paper absorbs water very easily, and the old ink that had already faded quickly spread out and became a blur, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
Seeing the family letters she had carefully preserved for so many years being destroyed, Mrs. Ye felt a sharp pain in her heart and her body went limp.
Boss Ye was quick to act and grabbed hold of Old Lady Ye.
The other three brothers of the Ye family stared at Wang Guangping, their eyes almost spitting fire.
Wang Guangping went on and on: "Let's not talk about whether the letter is true or false. Even if it is true, it doesn't mean that the letter is yours, don't you think?
"What if you picked it up on the road, or from someone else...right!"
When the Ye family heard this, all the blood in their bodies rushed to their heads.
What from others?
Does he still want to say that he stole the letter himself?
"We can't confirm your identities just because you hold a letter, right?"
“What if you are scammers pretending to be members of the Ye family and want to seize the properties and land?
"You just picked up some dead bodies from a mass grave and planned to bury them in the Ye family's ancestral tomb?
"Don't even mention Patriarch Ye, I won't agree!"
Ye Dongming remained silent at first, allowing Wang Guangping to take advantage of the situation and direct all the hatred towards himself.
It turns out that even fools have their merits.
However, he never expected that Wang Guangping would go too far and start insulting the deceased in his words.
"Village Chief Wang, be careful with your words!" Ye Dongming frowned and interrupted him, but it was too late.
After hearing this, Old Lady Ye, who had not yet recovered her breath, felt a tightness in her chest, her vision went dark, and she fainted in Boss Ye's arms.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Wake up!" Ye Laoda hurriedly hugged Old Madam Ye, pinched her philtrum and shouted desperately. Ye Laoer and Ye Laosan also gathered around.
One of them patted Old Lady Ye's back to help her calm down, while the other rubbed her hands which were cold from being angered.
Seeing this, Ye Laosi could no longer suppress his anger and stepped forward and punched Wang Guangping hard in the face.
"Ouch - you, you dare to hit me?" Wang Guangping was shocked, angry and in pain, and shouted while covering his face.
"I'm going to hit you, you old bastard!"
