Chapter 55 The Story of the Ye Family



The old village chief squinted his eyes and looked at the certificate that Ye Zhiqiu took out of his pocket in the light from the cafeteria.

After confirming everything, he smiled and said, "Since these are public rabbits, you can naturally cut grass and feed them. But when you cut grass, be careful not to damage the crops."

Ye Zhiqiu smiled, thanked everyone repeatedly, and promised to be careful and not to damage the crops.

Finally, the village chief asked for his house number and told anyone who went to mow the grass at Ye Zhiqiu's house to ask someone in the village who didn't know where they were, to just explain that they were number 16 and that they were mowing the grass for the brewery to raise rabbits. The village chief would then bring up the matter with the villagers.

After expressing his gratitude, Ye Zhiqiu said goodbye and left. When he returned home, he found a stranger in the yard.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at the three men who were apologizing and asked curiously, "Dad, who are these people?"

Ye Tianya pulled Ye Zhiqiu aside and whispered, "It's the son of that group of people today, but they're not here to cause trouble, but to apologize on behalf of their family.

They said their family had just moved from the village to the city and was naive, so they told us not to bother with them. "Son, you said those three were quite friendly, so why were those people so unreasonable today?"

Ye Zhiqiu was speechless. Is this going to continue? Who the hell cares about your apology? Just don't mess with your own family.

He turned to the three of them and said, "There's nothing much to talk about. If they don't bother my family, I won't bother you. I was thinking of telling the factory about your family's actions tomorrow and letting them deal with you!"

Since you can come and apologize, I will let you go! Let me make it clear to you first, if there is a next time! If you need to report it to the police, report it to the police. If you need to report it to the factory, report it to the factory. I will not be polite to you!

The three of them nodded repeatedly, apologized and made promises.

"We're so sorry, we'll keep them in check! They just don't understand any rules and think they're still acting like they are in the village, so they can act recklessly. We're really sorry to have caused you so much trouble, and we sincerely apologize."

"Don't worry, comrade. I guarantee they won't dare come and cause trouble again. This house was approved at a factory meeting, and they wouldn't dare swap it privately. I've already severely criticized them, and they know they're wrong! I heard they even scared the girl to tears. I'm so sorry!"

The attitudes of these people were indeed sincere, and they were not the kind of people who would make trouble. Seeing this, Ye Zhiqiu did not make things difficult for them. He really wanted to go to Liao Yegu and Chen Yimin to file a complaint against them tomorrow!

"Alright, since you can come and apologize and are reasonable people, I won't make things difficult for you. You can go now. This matter is over."

The three of them thanked him repeatedly and placed the two bottles of wine they brought on the small table in the yard. They then apologized again before leaving the Ye family.

Ye Tianya looked at the six bottles of Erguotou on the table and looked very happy.

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said to Wang Xiaolan, "Mom, look at Dad. He's already grinning from ear to ear after just a few bottles of wine!"

Wang Xiaolan was not so magnanimous. She was still angry at those people for scaring Ye Bailu to tears!

So she twisted Ye Tianya's ear and scolded him angrily: "Old Ye, Old Ye, you are such a heartless guy! Others made our daughter cry so hard, not to mention how angry you are, you can't be bought off just for a few bottles of wine!"

Ye Tianya lowered his head and followed the direction where Wang Xiaolan was pulling his ear, begging for mercy quickly: "It hurts, it hurts! Wife, I'm not bribed! I laughed because the eldest son was so powerful in his words, scolding a few adults in their thirties as if they were scolding the second son! I was so happy to think that in the blink of an eye, my son has become an adult who can protect the family!

Wang Xiaolan finally let go of Ye Tianya's ear and said with emotion, "Big Boss, your father is right. In the blink of an eye, you have grown up from a piece of flesh that fell from your mother. Your mother is also very happy from the bottom of her heart.

Especially in the past two years, you've changed so much since you lost your memory! From getting a job on your own to bringing our family back to the city, you're my pride..."

Speaking of this, Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but be curious. He sat on the mat and asked the two people, "If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. Dad, Mom, why didn't you buy a job? If you had a job, wouldn't you have to go to Kaoshantun?"

Ye Tianya was stunned for a moment, then he explained in a low voice: "Boss, you don't understand how strict it was back then! Checking all kinds of information, interrogating three generations of ancestors, it was too dangerous! Our Ye family is not actually poor farmers, but capitalists, and I don't have any identity documents or anything like that."

Ye Zhiqiu was a little dumbfounded. With such a family background, how could he be considered a capitalist? What capitalist family was so poor?

Maybe it was because Ye Zhiqiu had been so methodical recently, so Ye Tianya decided to tell him about the family affairs.

"Son, you must remember that our hometown is Nanchang! After the July 7 Incident, your grandfather was deeply affected by the turbulent times. In order to continue our family lineage, he divided our Ye family into three branches. Your eldest uncle led some of the family members to follow the Guo Party and later fled to Hong Kong. Your second uncle took some of the family members and fled to Southeast Asia. Because I was only 15 years old at the time, I stayed with your grandfather.

Later, your grandfather donated most of the family's assets to our party to fight against the Japanese. But not long after, the Japanese army occupied Nanchang, and our family, as a wealthy family in the city, was looted! But because most of the assets were donated, there was not much floating wealth in the family.

This made the looting Japanese army very dissatisfied. Your grandparents were killed just like that... I was only sixteen years old at the time. I was hidden by your grandfather in a small secret room under the well, and I escaped this disaster.

When I got out, my house was burned down. I couldn't even tell which were your grandparents' ashes! Furthermore, the Japanese army was still raiding the city, so I didn't even have the chance to build a grave for them...

Fortunately, I was lucky enough to escape with some belongings. I then fled all the way to the capital. Without any identification, I survived by doing odd jobs. Later, your mother also fled here. I saved her from starving and collapsed. We lived together, and you were born in 1941.

Later, when the People's Republic of China was founded, landlords and capitalists were also among those criticized and persecuted. "Although your grandfather had donated money, I had no proof of identity, and I lived in the city by doing odd jobs and renting a house. I registered as a proletarian and was assigned to Kaoshantun as a farmer."

Ye Zhiqiu tilted his head and looked at Ye Tianya, which made Ye Tianya a little confused. He wondered if what he said was too bizarre and made him confused.

"Dad, if you put it that way, then you're actually a poor young master? I once had the chance to be a third-generation rich man?"
