Chen Ye and the others were not deliberately avoiding people. This matter would get out sooner or later. Instead of letting people make random guesses, it would be better for them to take charge of the rumor themselves.
"Hey, grandma, do we go to worship that every year?" Mrs. Meng's eldest grandson asked this deliberately, hoping that Ye Zi's biological father would not blame his grandmother because of his family's dedication.
"Yes, that's it. You should take people there now. It's not appropriate to go there at night." In fact, they have a rule here that you can't go to the cemetery after noon, but these people wouldn't listen to it.
She let her eldest grandson take people there because he was the strongest male in the family and had strong yang energy, so she was not afraid of being hit. The old lady was still very superstitious.
Cen Boxu spoke first: "Then let's not disturb you for now, let's go over and take a look."
I must express my gratitude afterwards. No matter what, Xiao Liu was taken care of by her, and even the old lady took care of her funeral.
Even the marriage for her own daughter was found by the old lady. Although this family was not satisfactory, the old lady had good intentions at the time. It was hard to sort out right from wrong, but all she had to do was remember the kindness.
The group went directly to the village cemetery. Their village was a mixed-surname village and there was no so-called clan or anything, so the graves of the villagers were all in one place. Although Xiao Liu was an outsider, there was no reason why he could not be buried there.
Chen Ye didn't know, but Cen Boxu knew. Xiao Liu was the only one left in his family. Otherwise, after saving him, a grown-up girl wouldn't have to take care of him secretly.
No matter why the two of them were together in the first place, Xiao Liu did not look for anyone else to marry, and she gave birth to such a good daughter for him, so Xiao Liu will be his only wife in this life.
Before going up the mountain, Chen Ye asked the young grandfather to go back first. He would never let an elder with bad legs go up the mountain to visit the younger generation, so the people who went up the mountain were only Cen Boxu and the other five people.
Chen Ye looked at the small mound in front of her. There was not even a wooden sign. If she didn't tell them clearly, they might not know that someone was buried here. She didn't know how she felt in her heart.
It would be nonsense to say that she had deep feelings for her biological mother even though she had never met her before. But she was grateful to this woman who used her weak shoulders to give birth to her in those days.
She didn't want to find out what the mother was thinking at the time. She only knew that she had given her life in exchange for her own life, and since she had no ill intentions in abandoning her, she would recognize this mother.
At least people will come to pay tribute to her every New Year, and she won't become a lonely ghost, and her descendants will also pay tribute to her.
Cen Boxu was also silent. She wanted to move the grave to the Cen family's ancestral tomb in her husband's name, but she didn't know whether Ye Zi would agree.
For a family like theirs, only by being buried in the ancestral tomb can they be truly members of the Cen family, but the prerequisite for all this is that their daughter agrees.
But it is obviously not appropriate to ask this question now. I should wait until I get familiar with my daughter.
It was not until it got dark that the few people went down the mountain.
Chen Shengli was not idle after returning. He found a few old friends to discuss and then announced Ye Zi's life story to everyone, so as to prevent the rumor that Ye Zi's father was a cheating father, which would not be good for Ye Zi.
No one spoke to them on the way back, but everyone's eyes were like light bulbs, staring at Cen Boxu and Ye Zi. Ye Zi unconsciously began to speed up her pace. She felt uncomfortable all over because of the attention.
"Don't tell me the truth about how I look!" An old lady expressed everyone's thoughts.
"Hey, does anyone still remember what Dasheng's wife looks like?"
Many people shook their heads. After the young wife got married, she kept her head down all day long, and they couldn't remember what she looked like.
"I still remember. My house is closer and I'm more familiar with it than you are. I didn't think so before, but now that I think about it, Ye Zi doesn't look like that woman at all."
"That means Ye Zi was still young when that woman remarried, otherwise it would be obvious at a glance that these two are not biological mother and daughter."
This person is suspected of speaking after the event. Even if Li Guilian and Ye Zi stand together now, no one will suspect that they are not mother and daughter unless it is clearly stated that they are not mother and daughter.
"I said there's something wrong with Ye Zi's head. No one in the Chen family is tall. Look at how tall Ye Zi is, even though she's only a little girl. No one would believe her if she said she was Chen Dasheng's daughter."
"Tsk, you're just talking after the fact. Why haven't I heard you say that before?" Although he also thought so in his heart, it didn't stop him from scolding people.
"Hey, you're right. I've thought about it before, but Ye Zi is a good kid who grew up under our care. It would be so bad for Ye Zi if I said that!" The man curled his lips to defend himself.
"I was saying Ye Zi looked different from the other kids in the village. But now she sees her father, she's completely different. She was born to be the child of a wealthy official in the city. How could she be like us peasants?"
"You can't say that. There's nothing wrong with Ye Zi. She's well-read and definitely different from the kids in our village. She's no worse at work than the kids in our village."
"Well, that's just what I said. What's it called? That thing...it looks different from our real farmers."
"You mean bearing, right?" a somewhat cultured person added.
"Yes, yes, yes. He just looks more stylish than us country kids who were born and raised here."
"It's true. Did you see that? Ye Zi and her father's faces look like they were plucked off. And Ye Zi's father's head looks like a giant to me."
"Hey, do you think Ye Zi can still grow? She's already taller than many boys in the village. Can she still find a partner if she grows taller?"
"Ye Zi seems to be sixteen this year. Maybe she can grow taller, but that's not good. It's hard for a girl to find a partner if she's too tall. It wouldn't look good to find someone shorter than you."
"You're worrying about nothing. What kind of family does Ye Zi have? Aren't there many good guys looking for her? Not to mention that Ye Zi is pretty, so wouldn't all the good guys be rushing to propose marriage to her?"
"That's right. Ye Zi is probably the most well-groomed girl in the village. I usually don't notice it, but this girl is so capable that her looks don't matter."
Rural people are down-to-earth. Appearance is secondary. A capable and strong body is the standard for measuring whether a girl is suitable to be a daughter-in-law.
"What do you think? If that family finds Ye Zi and takes her back, will they look down on her because she grew up in the countryside?"
Some people are still worried about Ye Zi. After all, they have watched their child grow up, and he finally lives a good life. What if the adopted child is not treated well by others?
