In the evening, Su Lu returned home from get off work and, quite shrewdly, carried two bottles of fine wine into the Qin family's gate.
He had no choice but to come; his wife and children were still in their hands, so he had to risk getting beaten up again.
The dinner was very lavish, and Su Lu and Qin Ye drank quite a bit. At the dinner table, Qin Ye also shared his plans.
“I’ve wanted to leave for a long time, but I was worried about my grandparents and parents. Now that they’ve agreed to leave with me, it’s great news. This way, I can leave here sooner without any more worries.”
It wouldn't be too difficult for Qin Ye to go to the capital. Although the Su family didn't have much influence in the capital, they could still get their son-in-law a job.
Su Yun and Su Yu had no choice but to go to the countryside back then, as their rivals were keeping a close eye on them. Now that their rivals have been suppressed, they naturally have to find an opportunity to bring the two girls back.
If Su Yun and Su Yu hadn't both been pregnant, the Su family would have already come up with a solution, instead of waiting until now.
Now that Su Yun has given birth, and Su Yu has married the young master of the Zou family, whose influence is even greater than that of the Su family, it wouldn't be a problem to take Su Yu back, let alone Qin Ye and Su Yun as well.
When the Qin family learned of Qin Ye's idea, they were very supportive. As for Qinjiagou, to be honest, they were somewhat saddened.
Firstly, Su Lu's family has been friends with the Qin family for many years. They were very disappointed by the Su family's handling of Su Lu and Qin Xiaoxiao's issues. They did not want the two families to end up like this. After all, they had been friends for many years and did not want things to get too ugly. Leaving was the best option. If they stayed far away, there would be less trouble. They could just have less contact in the future.
Secondly, Qin Feng was genuinely implicated in this wild boar incident. No one could have predicted that Bai Xiruo would go up the mountain. Qin Feng mobilized the entire village to search for her as soon as he discovered she was missing. But before they could find her, Bai Xiruo had already led the wild boar into the village. No matter how capable Qin Feng was, he couldn't possibly control the wild boar, could he?
He was heartbroken when someone died in the village, but the commune just took his job. He had been the brigade leader for so many years and made outstanding contributions to the village and the commune. Just the revenue he generated for the village was enough for Qin Feng to be proud of for a lifetime. But just when he was about to retire, he was taken away like this. Qin Feng was unwilling.
Then there's the attitude of the villagers. Many people spoke well of him, but some took the opportunity to do a lot of dirty tricks. If the Qin family hadn't been so formidable, and if the higher-ups hadn't wanted to offend them too much, Qin Feng probably wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed this time.
For various reasons, Qin Feng gave up and began to consider leaving.
He grew up in the village, served in the army for many years, and did so much for the village after returning. He lived up to the expectations of the people of Qinjiagou and the name "Qin".
Therefore, he was not sad at all about leaving the village; he just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible and clear his head.
Qin Xiaoxiao was right about this, which is why Qin Feng agreed so quickly.
Compared to wealthy families, the Qin family wasn't particularly rich, but they weren't short of money either; they could afford to buy a house in the capital.
As long as there's a place to stay and the family is together, it doesn't really matter where we go.
During the time it took to eat a meal, Qin Ye decided to ask his father-in-law for help, firstly to find him a house, and secondly to find him a job.
With a job, he would have every reason to settle down in the capital, and when the time was right, he could finally make his mark.
The next day, Su Yun handed the child over to Ma Dahua and went into the city with Qin Aiguo and Qin Ye.
Upon arriving in the county town, the couple went straight to the post office, made a phone call, and half an hour later, they left the post office laughing.
The two then went to the state-run restaurant and asked Qin Hai to go back to the village that evening so they could discuss something at home.
This was the first time Qin Hai had seen his nephew speak to him so seriously, so he nodded in agreement without thinking.
On the other hand, Qin Aiguo successfully entered the county committee compound and stayed there for half a morning before returning home alone by oxcart in the afternoon.
In the evening, the whole family gathered at the main house of the Qin family.
Qin Aiguo spoke first.
“We’ve decided that the whole family will go to the capital. Second son, you wait here for a bit. We’ll arrange for you to go over there once everything is settled.”
Qin Hai was completely bewildered and looked blankly at his father.
"Going to the capital? The whole family?"
Qin Aiguo nodded, "Everyone is going, including you. Even if you don't want to go, you have to."
Regardless of his second son's thoughts, Qin Aiguo made the final decision.
Sun Zhirou's eyes lit up, and she nodded with a smile, "Let's go. Anyway, Qin Sheng and Qin Ming aren't home. Qin Yue can just transfer schools. It's not troublesome at all. It's just that Dad, you'll have to think of a way to find a job. Our whole family can't rely on our nephew and niece for a living. That won't do. That's not how it works."
Qin Aiguo nodded, "That's only right. Don't worry, I'll make arrangements when we get there."
Hearing her father-in-law say this, Sun Zhirou was completely relieved and nodded with a smile.
Qin Feng then spoke.
“Since we’re all going there, we need to take care of the house here. I suggest we keep it so we can come back whenever we want, so we don’t end up with nowhere to stay.”
Ma Dahua immediately raised her hand in agreement.
“I agree with the head of the household’s idea. If Dad and Mom don’t get used to living here, we can always come back.”
Grandma Qin nodded. "We can't abandon our roots. Qinjiagou is our root. When your father and I die, we will come back and be buried in our ancestral land here."
When the ancestral home was mentioned, Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered the origin of Qinjiagou.
Legend has it that the people of Qinjiagou were originally guarding an ancient tomb, and the village was formed later.
If this legend is true, then this cemetery...
Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes darted around quickly, and Qin Aiguo saw right through her.
"What are you thinking about? Tell me."
Qin Xiaoxiao chuckled twice and moved closer to Qin Aiguo to massage his legs. "Grandpa, I heard that the people of Qinjiagou were originally guardians of an ancient tomb? Later, these guardians married and had children here, which led to the formation of a village? Is that true?"
Qin Aiguo glared at Qin Xiaoxiao, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask."
Qin Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, "Can't I say?"
Qin Aiguo sighed helplessly, "You shouldn't be so curious. Knowing too much is not good for you."
Now that everything has been explained so clearly, even if Qin Xiaoxiao is stupid, she'll understand that the legend might be true.
Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up.
If it's true, can she go and dig it up?
Qin Aiguo had such sharp eyes that he could tell at a glance that his eldest granddaughter was restless.
"Get rid of those thoughts in your head; there are some things you shouldn't get involved in."
Qin Xiaoxiao tensed up, and when she saw that Qin Aiguo's gaze was now stern, she immediately straightened her face and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, Master, I will only continue to protect the Qin family's ancient tomb and will not do anything to betray our ancestors."
Qin Aiguo was speechless. His granddaughter's imagination was too wild, and he was too old to keep up.
