Upon hearing this, Huang Lao Er had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and sit back down.
Actually, he wasn't that curious.
Once they realized it had nothing to do with their family, their desire to investigate vanished immediately.
He wasn't very bright to begin with; he hadn't even figured out how to manage his own little plot of land, so how could he have time to care about other people's affairs?
The oxcart moved slowly forward, and just as the last rays of the setting sun disappeared, it finally returned to the village.
"Go home, everyone," Old Man Huang sighed. "Remember to visit the ancestral hall after you finish eating."
After everyone had left, Old Man Huang called out to Huang Hai, "Ah Hai, there shouldn't be anyone at your house right now."
"No one's home?" Huang Hai scratched his head. "That's impossible. At this time, Mom and my sister-in-law should have already finished cooking."
“Grandpa is right, no one is in your family now,” Huang Xiaosan said in a low voice, “They have all gone to the clan chief’s house.”
"Oh," Huang Hai said, though he found it strange, he didn't think much of it. "I'll go find them now, you guys go ahead with your work."
Watching Huang Hai's departing figure, Old Man Huang sighed, "Let's go home for dinner. We still need to go to the ancestral hall later."
“Grandpa,” Huang Shan stared intently at Old Man Huang, “What happened? Why is the ancestral hall suddenly open when it’s neither a holiday nor a festival?”
Huang Shan is the eldest grandson of the Huang family. Old Man Huang and Village Chief Huang have put a lot of effort into him. Although he is not very prominent, he is very shrewd and calculating.
"It's a worrying matter," Old Man Huang said, his head throbbing at the thought. His grandsons were also present, and he wanted to teach them a lesson, so he didn't hide anything. "Liao Chunhua is accusing the clan chief of scheming against the son of someone who has done good for the village. The village is probably going to be in turmoil."
"That orphan, is it Lai Zige?" Huang Lao Er asked with a puzzled look. "Why would the clan leader scheme against Lai Zige?"
"It's to reduce the amount of grain they have to contribute," Huang Xiaosan said sarcastically, looking into the distance. "If someone wants to help raise another's child, it's useless, not even if they've done a good job for the village or the county."
"Young Master, how can you talk like that?" Old Man Huang scolded sternly. "How can a grown man be so gossipy, blurting out all sorts of things? Don't you know where you are? What if someone hears you?"
“Exactly,” Huang Shan also disagreed, “It’s fine to be casual among brothers, but it’s not the same outside.”
Who knows if there's someone with malicious intentions lurking in the shadows?
"It was my fault," Huang Xiaosan realized he had gone too far. "Master, Brother Shan, I won't say these things again."
Hearing these words, Huang Lao Er was furious. "How could the clan leader do this? He's the clan leader, how could he be so disheartening?"
"Second Brother," Huang Xiaosan said helplessly, "Let's go home first, and talk about it when we get home."
He was just scolded, why doesn't Second Brother learn his lesson?
Seeing Old Man Huang's face growing increasingly dark, he secretly patted Xiao Liu's bottom and disappeared at the intersection in the blink of an eye.
Old Huang, who had just opened his mouth to teach someone a lesson, suddenly felt a lump in his throat and his face turned pale with anger. "You little brat, you're quick on your way out."
“Master,” Huang Shan reassured, “Xiao San is impulsive, but she is very insightful. She must understand these principles to leave.”
"Is that what I'm angry about?" Old Huang frowned. "I'm angry that he doesn't trust me."
"The old man is indeed a bit biased and doesn't treat his brothers very well, but they are still grandfather and grandsons. Would I really harm them?"
"That brat Xiao San is really something, treating me like a thief, running away so fast, does he think I'd bully his second brother?"
Getting angrier the more he talked, Old Man Huang snorted and drove home.
