Uncle Lao Si invited Niu Dachun to his home.
This greatly worried the families in the village who had beautiful daughters; they were all green with envy.
"Uncle Fourth, you acted way too fast!"
"My fourth uncle is such a bad person."
"Well, this is great, Uncle Si's granddaughter got a good deal."
......
Upon hearing these words, Niu Dachun gave a wry smile.
Although Niu Dachun acknowledged in his heart that his fourth uncle's granddaughter was very beautiful and graceful, he didn't know how to face Yingchun.
"Lianzhi, hurry up and cook. Our village's great hero is coming to our house today."
The fourth uncle called out happily to his daughter-in-law.
Wang Lianzhi came out of the room wearing an apron and smiled warmly when she saw Niu Dachun.
Everyone knows about Niu Dachun's efforts to eliminate evil.
"Alright! Da Chun, sit inside for a while, I'll go cook right away."
"Yingchun, come and help," Wang Lianzhi called to her daughter.
Niu Dachun, Fourth Uncle, and Wang Yingchun's father, Wang Wenxiang, chatted in the house.
An hour and a half later, a sumptuous meal was served.
Yingchun took a stool and sat down next to her mother.
"Hey! How can you be so inconsiderate, young lady? What are you doing sitting here?"
"You should sit next to Da Chun."
Hearing her mother's words, Yingchun blushed and stood there stunned, not knowing what to do.
Niu Dachun offered Yingchun a seat, and Yingchun took the stool and timidly sat down next to Dachun.
Wang Yingchun would occasionally lift her rosy face and steal glances at her former playmate, a look of regret in her eyes. An indescribable feeling swirled in Yingchun's heart.
The two grew up together in Zhuxi Village and played together every day.
When he was a child, Niu Dachun, being ignorant, would always tell the villagers that he wanted to marry Yingchun as his wife. Yingchun, also being ignorant, would say the same thing to Niu Dachun.
She will marry Niu Dachun and become his wife.
When the villagers saw them, they would jokingly ask them questions.
"When are you two getting married? I'm really looking forward to your wedding banquet."
It wasn't until later that the two realized that the jokes they made as children could never come true.
Niu Dachun was admitted to university and left Zhuxi Village, while Yingchun stayed. Dachun returned to Zhuxi Village and fell in love with Wan Yanru. Dachun then went to prison...
Four years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Seeing her childhood sweetheart again now feels both familiar and strange; the girl's heart still flutters and races.
However, Niu Dachun's face was expressionless, with a serious and stern expression.
"Is what you said true, Fourth Uncle?" Niu Dachun asked Fourth Uncle.
"This happened two years ago."
“A few days after your father and Sister Guihua’s father had their accidents, I saw several strangers come to the village chief’s house.”
"Looking at their faces, they don't seem to be from our western border region; they look more like people from the water towns of Jiangnan."
Niu Dachun asked his older brother, sister-in-law, and mother about the construction site where his father used to work, but they couldn't give him a clear answer.
Because my father was working on construction sites at the time, he would basically move on to the next construction site after finishing the project at one site.
I visited several construction sites one after another, but after a long time, no one could say for sure which site the accident happened at.
"When I was returning from herding cattle in the mountains, I passed by the village chief's house."
"I've seen that out-of-towner."
"One of those people was a woman, dressed very elegantly, adorned with jewels. She had a mole near her eye."
"It's very likely that the village chief embezzled your two families' compensation money on that occasion."
After listening to his fourth uncle's words, Niu Dachun showed a helpless expression.
If we really searched for people like the fourth uncle described, we could find tons of them in Jiangnan. It would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Despite this, Niu Dachun was determined to thoroughly investigate the cause of his father's death.
Niu Dachun absolutely could not tolerate his father dying in such an unclear and unexplained way!
Jiangnan is just a few provinces: Nanjing, Lin'an, Huizhou, and Shanghai...
Niu Dachun is determined to investigate this matter thoroughly, no matter the cost. His immediate priority now is to settle his family here.
And also, we must find Wan Yanru!!!
Niu Dachun drank with Old Master Si and Uncle Wang until the stars filled the sky. The three of them chatted and laughed, enjoying themselves immensely.
Old Master Si and Uncle Wang were already slightly drunk, but Niu Dachun was still very sober. Now that Niu Dachun was a cultivator, his alcohol tolerance was not something that ordinary people could match.
Uncle Wang's family insisted on keeping Niu Dachun, but Niu Dachun refused.
In the end, Uncle Wang's family couldn't resist Niu Dachun's determination to leave, so they asked Yingchun to see Dachun off for a while.
Summer in the small village is beautiful, with countless stars twinkling in the sky.
The two walked one after the other along the edge of the field, the air filled with a gentle breeze and the sweet scent of rice.
The frogs croaked loudly.
Niu Dachun walked very slowly, and Yingchun followed slowly behind.
Another long silence followed.
"You can leave Yingchun here."
“My car is parked on the road over there,” Niu Dachun broke the silence first.
Yingchun looked up and realized that she had unknowingly reached the end of this path.
Just like their childhood, it's gone in the blink of an eye.
"Go back now."
"No need to see me off," Niu Dachun said to Yingchun.
Niu Dachun said the same thing to Yingchun when he went to university.
