On Ye Wanxi's side, except for Shi Yuyan who had invited himself to kneel in the ancestral hall, they thought that they would be in peace as soon as they came. They took the peace charms and insect repellent pills given by Ye Wanxi with them and slept peacefully. Sleep.
"Compared with the peace and tranquility of their side, Wu Chi and several elderly people in the village did not sleep well all night.
As soon as Ye Wanxi and others left, Wu Chi pulled his father and grandfather to ask about tonight's events.
"Grandpa, what's going on? Don't we not welcome outsiders to our village? Why did we let these people in? What if"
Grandpa Wu waved his hand to his grandson in a comforting manner, and said with a complex expression: "This matter is really not our idea."
Wu Chi frowned slightly, the people in the village who can make decisions are all here. If it wasn't them who made the decision, who else could it be?
Seeming to sense Wu Chi¡¯s inner doubts, Grandpa Wu pondered for a moment and then explained to Wu Chi everything that happened in the ancestral hall that night.
Wu Chi was dumbfounded after hearing this. He was just madly expressing his emotions. The ancestors in the ancestral hall were just holding back, and they helped outsiders steal the tower?
Wu Chi was stunned for a while, his face darkened, and he said seriously: "Are you sure this matter has been investigated? Could it be that someone deliberately caused trouble in the ancestral hall, and it was just a coincidence?"
Wu Chi¡¯s words were not groundless. He was in his early twenties, a few years older than Tao Wan, and since he was a boy, he often went out with his uncle two or three years ago.
It was precisely because of his experience abroad in the past few years that he understood why his grandfather and father resisted the pressure of uncles and elders in the clan who opposed their involvement in the world, and insisted on letting them go out for a walk every now and then to see what was going on outside. world.
Although Wu Chi had been prejudiced against everything outside the stockade before, he didn't like it very much, and he couldn't admit it. There were many things outside that they couldn't see in the stockade, and there were many things that they couldn't encounter in the stockade. Up.
Wu Chi had the honor to witness several superb and clever scams before, which once had a big impact on him.
Therefore, after hearing what his grandfather said, Wu Chi¡¯s first thought was not that his ancestors were showing up, but that someone was deliberately causing trouble behind his back.
Grandpa Wu knew what he meant. If possible, why wouldn't he hope that this was just a coincidence created by someone with a heart?
"When the earthquake occurred in the ancestral hall, the patrol team was nearby and found nothing wrong. Moreover, the second abnormality happened right in front of all of us, so we couldn't help but not believe it."
Wu Chi choked, he knew that such a big thing, since grandpa said it, it would not be groundless.
¡°I¡¯m afraid that before he came, these old-timers present had already had a debate, and what we see now is just the final result after the debate.
"But why is this? They are just outsiders from outside. Why did the Patriarch and the others"
"None of us can tell clearly what the Patriarch means. The only thing that is certain is that the Patriarch does not want us to drive them or any of them away."
Wu Chi is not stupid. Hearing what Grandpa Wu said, he immediately reacted: "Grandpa suspected that this person was that kid, so he asked him to kneel in the ancestral hall?"
"There are only a few people coming to our place tonight, and they are from Tao Wan. The most likely person is this kid."
Grandpa Wu didn¡¯t come to a conclusion right away: ¡°But that¡¯s not necessarily the case. Anyway, it¡¯s not an injustice to let this brat kneel in front of our ancestors in the ancestral hall all night.¡±
To put it bluntly, Grandpa Wu abducted a girl from their village to Shi Yuyan, and this girl was the girl he had watched since childhood. She was no different from his granddaughter, so he still felt quite resentful in his heart.
Although Shi Yuyan just said that he was full of ambition and responsibility, if he was really responsible, he would have brought his old friend's child back as soon as it was born.
"We will know tomorrow morning whether it is true or not. If it is really him"
Grandpa Wu didn¡¯t say what he would do if it were him. Everything is still unknown. It¡¯s too early to say this now.
However, if the person that the ancestor misses is really him, then he definitely cannot be let go like this.
When Grandpa Wu said this, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something and looked at his grandson with a complicated expression: "Do you know everything about that girl Tao Wan?"
Wu Chi was slightly startled, nodded and said, "Yes, my father told me everything."
"Then what do you think?"
Wu Chi was frightened by the loving look on his grandfather's face, as if his child was being snatched away from him, and he was wearing a cuckold. He twitched his lips and said, "What else can I think about? I told you already. Many times, Xiaowan and I are really not what you think.??. I only regard her as a younger sister. Since she is willing to give birth to children for that brat, she must not have such thoughts about me. She only regards me as an older brother. Please stop messing around with me! "
Wu Chi¡¯s words were true. He didn¡¯t like Shi Yuyan. It was purely because his brother-in-law looked at his brother-in-law and disliked him in various ways.
Grandpa Wu saw that he didn¡¯t seem to be lying. He was relieved and a little disappointed at the same time. He had indeed considered marrying the Tao family before, but it was a pity.
"Okay, okay, since you don't have this intention, grandpa won't force you."
"Grandpa, what is the clan planning to do about Xiaowan and her grandfather?"
Grandpa Wu glanced at the silent crowd, sighed and said: "We are also in a dilemma about this matter. Your Grandpa Tao and his family have been having a hard time in recent years, but this matter is not a small matter. You were still a child when it happened , but you should have heard of it.¡±
"Many relatives of the victims in the village are still there, and most of these people have hated foreigners since then. Although they have not objected to the clan sending young people out to see the world in recent years, their own children have always been excluded. They are outside and don¡¯t want to go out. The same thing happened again this time. A few days ago, they secretly joined forces to make trouble and wanted us to drive you, Grandpa Tao, and Girl Tao out."
"Kick them out?" Wu Chi's expression changed slightly, and he was a little anxious, "Grandpa Tao and Xiao Wan are not related to each other. Where else can they go if they are kicked out? No, this must not be done."
Grandpa Wu sighed, why would they be willing to do this? But if the majority of people in the village demand it and the crowd becomes angry, they will have to take a stand at that time.
"We'll talk about this later. You just came back, so go back and rest first. I also have to go see your Grandpa Tao and tell him about that kid."
Grandpa Wu spoke, and everyone dispersed.
"It's just that most people didn't sleep well all night. Early the next morning, everyone rushed to the ancestral hall.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Shi Yuyan curled up under the incense table, sleeping soundly with a futon in his arms.
The incense in the incense burner in front of the ancestor¡¯s memorial tablet has long been burned out.
It seems like nothing happened? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
