"How about we try it for a month? First, get Brother Ah Zhi to catch a few chickens and ducks, slaughter two or three a day, and see if anyone wants them," Lin Wan suggested with a pause. "We could also wait another month or two because business isn’t great right after the New Year."
Zhang Daniu nodded, noting the idea, and went back to discuss it with her husband.
Lin Wan originally wanted to remind her to pay attention to her in-laws and Liang Weixiang. If they really started their own business, they would inevitably be jealous and take advantage of them.
However, she ultimately decided not to ntion it. These things had to be realized on their own.
This wife of Brother Ah Zhi is pretty and seems to be quite articulate.
Uncle and Aunt laughed all day, unable to close their mouths.
The atmosphere at the banquet was quite good.
Due to the recent rise of the Liang Family, many people from the village ca to curry favor, including Ye Weijun.
Ye Weijun drank a bit too much today, and once drunk, he couldn’t hold his tongue. He started bragging at the feast.
He said his daughter Ah Qing got married, and her husband is also an officer, even the brother of Lin Guozhi’s son-in-law.
"Brother Guozhi, my son-in-law is better than yours. You might not know, but your son-in-law is a bastard. A lovechild." Ye Weijun was truly drunk and ca up to Lin Guozhi, patting his shoulder and calling him brother. Ye Weijun’s obviously reckless words worried those present, especially since they could see Lin Guozhi’s face had darkened.
"You’ve had too much to drink."
Ye Weijun blithely ignored this, laughing heartily, "I’m not drunk, I’m fully sober. Brother Guozhi, don’t put on airs in front of . If we were talking ranks, I’d be ahead of you. Haha."
Lin Guozhi directly brushed away Ye Weijun’s hand and said coldly, "Ye Weijun, I haven’t even settled the account of your daughter framing my son and daughter, and now you dare to shalessly defa my son-in-law in front of ? Apparently, your daughter hasn’t spent enough ti in reform-through-labor."
Lin Guozhi’s words stirred up a storm among those present.
That remark about Ye Weijun’s daughter being in reform-through-labor made everyone sigh.
"What happened? How could Ye Qing end up in reform-through-labor? That’s terrible."
"Wasn’t she a college student? What did she do to deserve this?"
"Hmph, it was all about her framing our Ah Hui. She seduced a man outside, forged connections to get a governnt job, and who knew our Ah Hui also got assigned there, diligently worked, was promoted, blocking her way. So she ca up with nasty plans to falsely accuse our Ah Hui of accepting bribes, even investigated Ah i’s family’s restaurant and wounded soone. All these were Ye Qing’s doings," Cha Zhenfang shared loudly what she heard from her son with the villagers. "If Guozhi hadn’t rushed back in ti, our Ah Hui might be dead."
"Oh dear, Ah Qing seed like such a good girl, how could she do such things? Prison isn’t undeserved."
"For years, all we’ve heard is i Family making money, who could expect such bitter incidents, nearly losing one’s life, it had to be ruthless."
"Didn’t Ah Qing get along well with Xiao Wan? How could she harm her?"
"Haven’t you heard of jealousy? Xiao Wan is prettier, studies better, more capable, and now she’s married to a good man. She must be envious."
"In the Ye Family, only i is decent, and Ah Ron is sowhat honest."
So who heard this curled their lips in disagreent; because after leaving Brother Ah Zhi, Ye Ron started his poultry business independently. Just this act alone proves he’s not a simple person.
"Their family, except for Qiu Hualan who’s really pitiful, are not good people."
This comnt drew agreent from several villagers.
Liang Weixiang and her daughter left early, unaware of these events.
Both secretly patted their chests, thankful they returned early. Otherwise, they might have been set up by Ye Qing as well.
No, they were already frad by that wretch Ye Qing. They should be thankful she didn’t put them in jail.
Didn’t expect this woman to be so vicious, even daring to fra Liang Hongi’s entire family.
At the mont, they hesitated and feared whether or not they should ask Ye Weijun for money. What if Ye Qing found out?
If she returns for revenge, what would they do? They’ve witnessed Ye Qing’s ruthlessness. Honestly, they couldn’t match this woman. Faced with the villagers’ criticism of Ye Weijun, the Qiu Family also felt embarrassed and stepped forward to pull Ye Weijun aside, quickly apologizing to Lin Guozhi.
"Guozhi, you know Ah Jun for decades, he’s always been like this. Once he drinks, he forgets who he is. Don’t take it to heart. Today is Brother Ah Zhi’s joyful day; let’s discuss privately later, okay?"
Lin Guozhi remained silent, with a cold face, setting the matter aside.
If it weren’t for Brother Ah Zhi’s matters, he wanted to settle scores with Ye Weijun.
However, Ye Weijun didn’t realize the seriousness, broke free from the restraint, and said impatiently, "Everything I said is true, you should believe . Why is he acting like this? Lin Guozhi’s son-in-law is a worthless bastard."
Ye Weijun, though bleary-eyed, looked smug.
Just as he finished speaking, he saw a dark figure flash before him, instantly, smack smack, both sides of his face burned.
"Who hit ?"
As he opened his eyes, he saw the sharply dressed Han Yi, face slightly lowered, with a cold aura.
Scared, Ye Weijun and the Qiu Family retreated.
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yinghui kicked him in the stomach. Had the Qiu Family not supported him, he would have fallen flat.
Not far away, Lin Guozhi stood with eyebrows lowered, full of seriousness.
Forr village secretary Old Man Qiu seeing this, quickly went up and slapped Ye Weijun, "Fool. Is this a place for your display? Get lost now."
Ye Weijun, in short ti, received three slaps, kicked once, thoroughly shocked.
This way, Qiu Family’s two brothers embarrassedly dragged him away.
Old Man Qiu turned and bowed to Lin Guozhi, "Guozhi, considering old uncle helped you back then, please show so rcy this ti. Just this once, if he bothers you again, I won’t step in."
Today was his nephew’s grand day, he didn’t want it to beco too ssy. He still felt grateful to Secretary Qiu, for back then Secretary Qiu took good care of him, even gave him a study opportunity.
Just then, because of pity for Li Suolan, he passed on the opportunity to her, but everything went awry. Years later, Li Suolan indirectly hard his son. "Old Secretary, I’m considering your kindness and haven’t troubled the Ye Family more. Otherwise, for his daughter’s actions against my child, I would have dealt with them long ago. Forget Ye Weijun today, but his daughter’s deeds won’t go unaccounted. Also, Ye Weijun needs to change his recklessness; don’t bla for not warning him. Careless words invite trouble."
"Right, right, I’ll educate him imdiately," Old Man Qiu agreed, hurrying to answer.
He hadn’t believed the village gossip recently.
Didn’t expect it to actually be true.
What seed like a minor incident actually stirred another wave of gossip in Kao Shan Village.
Ye Qing, the college student, seducing soone’s husband outside, pregnant before marriage, jealous of Liang Hongi’s family, even engaging in murder attempts.
Failed harm turned into self-destroying, ending herself up in trouble.
But Qiu Hualan, with her daughter in reform, how will she manage alone?
So villagers said Qiu Hualan was avoiding Ye Weijun’s abuse by not returning.
Others said Qiu Hualan found soone else and refused to live with Ye Weijun.
So also said she was helping raise Ye Qing’s lover’s child, hinting from Ye Weijun that his "son-in-law" seed capable.
Uncertain if Ye Weijun’s claim about Xiao Wan’s husband’s illegitimacy was true.
Rich families’ dirty laundry was far more intriguing than the village’s small squabbles.
Because of Ye Weijun’s disruption, Liang Weixiang dared not ask for money from their family.
Nor dared to approach Liang Hongi’s family to ask her son for a military enlistnt spot.
Upon returning ho, closing their doors, her two sons argued over the sewing machine and the bicycle.
Zhang Family’s third son blad Liang Weixiang for neglecting him, focusing only on the two eldest sons, while the two married sons blad Liang Weixiang for favoring the younger ones.
