Chapter 132: Chapter 132: For the Brat's Wedding
Song Yun silently placed his hand on Ye Zi's shoulder, understanding that at this time no amount of persuasion would help his brother, for if he were in his shoes, he would have clenched his fists and sought out trouble with the other party long ago!
After more than ten minutes, Ye Zi gradually calmed down, wiped the tears from his face, and said with hatred, "Brother Song, don't trouble yourself with this, I'm going back with my grandpa today! I want to see for myself just what kind of people they are!"
"Bullshit, do you think I'm not your brother!" scolded Song Yun, frowning as he continued, "Can you handle a group of people on your own if you go back by yourself? You may look big and strong, but your strength might not even match your grandpa's! Listen to your brother, leave this to me, and I swear the outcome will leave you satisfied!"
Ye Zi thought it over and realized that was indeed the case, what could he do going back alone? Reason with them or get physical?
If reasoning worked, would his grandpa still be bullied?
If it came down to fighting, he would be facing a group and any trouble he got into would break his grandpa's heart even more.
Now, he could only rely on Song Yun, looking at him with pleading eyes, his meaning clear without words.
Song Yun had Huang Baoding contact the Ouyang Family, to first get a clear understanding of the actual situation at Ye Zi's ancestral home.
Huang Baoding nodded seriously, such a minor affair didn't require the influence of Ouyang Shu or Ouyang Rong, he could harness a small part of the Ouyang Family's information network on his own.
About ten minutes later, news from the Ouyang Family came through.
After reading it, Song Yun's eyes narrowed slightly.
Ye Zi's ancestral village was called Dao Gou Village, where legend had it that thousands of years ago, immortals and demons battled their magic, and an immortal with a whisk had struck the mountain so hard that a crack was made, leading people to slowly settle there to escape disasters and calamities.
In the village lived a pair of uneducated brothers, the elder named Tian Chong and the younger named Tian Yi. These brothers would bully men and tyrannize women in Dao Gou, committing many acts that enraged the heavens and the people.
Eventually, they provoked public anger and were driven out by the villagers.
The two brothers wandered all the way to the town and took refuge under the wing of a local ruffian.
This ruffian was doing well in the building materials business and the two brothers, by groveling and flattering, greased their hands well over the years with their boss's gains.
Once affluent, they harbored the idea of a triumphant return to their hometown, and after chewing it over, they gritted their teeth, bought a second-hand sedan, and drove straight back to Dao Gou Village.
When the villagers saw the two brothers, they were shocked, no one expected these two scourges to return, and they seemed to be doing quite well!
The brothers held a grudge against these villagers, and the atrocities they committed were many times worse than before; either they would knock on doors at night, causing sleepless nights for the entire village, or they would uproot the young seedlings that others had just planted.
The villagers were angry but dared not speak out, no one knew what kind of status the two brothers had achieved since their departure, and they could only bear it in silence.
Isn't that Ye Zi, the one who went to university???
She's doing so well now, even driving a big sedan!!!
But they soon realized something was amiss. If Ye Zi was doing so well outside, why would her own father and grandfather still be getting beaten up?
Could this car then belong to the man next to her?
On closer inspection of Song Yun, with his distinguished appearance and imposing aura, it was clear he was a scion of a wealthy family!
That's right, it seemed Ye Zi had indeed climbed the social ladder!
Then, Huang Baoding parked the car and personally helped the elderly out.
This got the villagers tremendously excited. Old Ye had gone to get reinforcements!!!
They wanted to press forward to ask what was going on, but stopped in their tracks at the sight of Huang Baoding's stern face.
Song Yun and the others made their way to the ancestral home of Ye Zi's family.
The front door was shabby and had been locked by someone. Huang Baoding, nonchalantly, snapped a branch from a tree, poked around a bit, and with a "clack," the lock was open.
Pushing open the door, they saw the interior had been tossed into disarray, with blankets and mattresses strewn all about.
Ye Zi clenched her fists tightly at the sight, wishing she could flatten those brothers right then and there.
The elderly man, on the other hand, didn't react much and just looked dimmer in his eyes. He stepped over the clutter on the ground, flipped and rummaged under his bed, and found a hidden compartment.
Upon opening it, there was an old-fashioned suitcase inside. He waved over Ye Zi excitedly and, under everyone's gaze, slowly opened it.
Inside, there were stacks of crisp new bills – the money that Ye Zi had sent him over the years.
He hadn't spent a cent and had saved it all.
Next to the new money, there were also some old coins – the elderly man's own savings.
He carefully stuffed the suitcase into Ye Zi's arms.
At that moment, a slip of paper fell out from the box, which Song Yun picked up and saw that it was scrawled with a few large characters.
"For the stinky boy's wedding."
