Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 682 - 660: Ye Rong’s Clumsiness

"...Fine, I’ll go back and talk to Xiao Gu," they had originally agreed, but once I spoke, their two or three sentences instantly changed my mind, leaving me somewhat uncertain.

"You’re getting married, such a big deal. Aren’t you going to tell your family?" Lin Wan asked with concern.

Only to see Zhang Shuhua shaking her head, "Not telling. You know how my family is. If they find out, I guarantee the wedding won’t go smoothly. Who knows... it might not even happen."

Lin Wan nodded, saying nothing. Zhang Shuhua’s parents indeed acted quite inappropriately.

Even when Zhang Shuhua had been here for so long, her parents never came to check things out.

Sometimes Lin Wan even thought Zhang Shuhua wasn’t their biological child. Not only did Lin Wan think this way, but Zhang Shuhua had considered it too. Reality proved she indeed was their biological child.

There are all sorts of people in this world, and there’s no rule that one must be good to one’s own children.

Zhang Shuhua has already come to terms with it. She’s doing quite well on her own now. The most important thing is, she has found her other half and has her own little store.

Not worried about food or expenses, living quite carefree.

When Lin Wan got home, she was thinking about how to tell Ye Weijun from the old hometown that Qiu Hualan was here. The next moment, she got a call from her aunt back in her hometown. It turned out her cousin was pregnant, specifically calling to share the news.

"It’s already three months, those two young ones were careless and only realized it now."

"Aunt, you’ll be busy now," Lin Wan was happy for them, thinking that both her brother and brother Liang Zhi got married one after the other. Both sisters-in-law are pregnant, their kids being born just months apart.

"Yes, my husband and I think we won’t run the rice noodle shop in the county anymore. We’ll go back to help Ah Zhi manage the mountain stuff."

"Ah, isn’t the rice noodle shop quite profitable?" Lin Wan felt a bit sorry.

"Yes, but our family doesn’t have enough manpower; we can’t manage both places. If we hire someone for the shop, it wouldn’t be worth it... However, a few days ago, Da Niu came to visit Little Grandmother; she was quite interested when she heard this. But they don’t have much money. Sigh... Da Niu has had a tough life; when you talked to her about selling chickens and ducks during the New Year, the couple did it for a while, but her mother-in-law is domineering, constantly coming to mooch off the goods when she sees chickens and ducks at home. Not only her mother-in-law, but her own mom is the same. Once her leg healed, she hobbled off to town every day, trying to steal her daughter’s easy business. So, in the end, the couple didn’t earn much. Now, they’ve heard we’re transferring the shop, so they’ve got the idea. Maybe things will be better if they’re farther away."

Lin Wan doesn’t think so. People like Liang Weixiang can’t change their nature. The lessons given to her are useless. This type of person will be like this all their life, causing trouble regardless of good or bad, not stopping until they’ve exhausted all they have.

"My husband and I figured we might as well give them the shop, let them continue using the tools, which aren’t worth much anyway. They can directly open up. They’ll just pay the rent themselves. Da Niu’s rice noodles taste better than mine; business will surely get better."

"That’s good, sigh. Hopefully, they’ll be more assertive so they won’t be bullied."

"Who doesn’t agree... You guys don’t know being away from home, but there’s been a lot happening in the village lately, with Ye Weijun’s family being the most assertive."

One could easily hear the sarcasm in my aunt’s voice, and I raised an eyebrow with curiosity, "What happened?"

"Sigh. You don’t know. Ye Rong from the Ye Family seems honest, but he’s actually quite bad. Ever since Ah Zhi found out about Ye Qing’s thoughts and fired Ye Rong, who knew he’d go home and directly start a chicken and duck business. The smell from the chicken and duck manure is strong, and the neighbors are against it. The village chief’s idea was if he wants to keep them, he could have a plot at the foot of the mountain and pay some money yearly. But no, he continued at home. When the weather gets hot, the smell spreads far in the village. The neighbors couldn’t bear it and had conflicts with Ye Rong. Now, the village regularly hears quarrels. Once, Ye Rong almost bashed a neighbor’s head with a shovel, leading them to get stitches in the county hospital. They demanded money from Ye Family, but Ye Weijun played tricks, using his "son-in-law" to scare people. Nobody fell for it, knowing he’s lying. The neighbor wasn’t weak; they exposed his and Li Xinghua’s issues right in front of everyone.

Ye Weijun got angry, and father-and-son both took knives to confront the neighbor. They ended up injuring them. Now, the neighbor is still in the hospital.

Unable to pay medical fees, they reported to the police, demanding compensation or else he’d go to jail. Only then did Ye Weijun soften and called his daughter for five hundred to pay them.

However, it wasn’t over. Nobody agreed to Ye Rong raising chickens and ducks. Neighbors couldn’t convince him and approached the village chief and secretary.

Seeing Ye Rong stubbornly resistant, the village chief and secretary had no choice but to take people and forcibly move his chickens and ducks to a spot halfway up the mountain, fencing them off. Money? Forget it. Just hoping he’d hurry and move.

With that, Ye Rong kept silent, directly setting up a small cabin at the foot of the mountain, watching his chickens every day.

When the village chief and secretary caught their breath, they realized Ye Rong had tricked them. He was just waiting for them to forcibly move him out, something to then refuse to pay plot dues.

Sigh... Do you see? Ye Rong used to be so honest. How did he turn out like this after marriage, stubborn and unyielding? You don’t know how fierce he was when fighting the neighbor; he really took after his dad. All the villagers said another Ye Weijun was on the rise.

However, Ye Family father and son didn’t boast for long. His chickens and ducks gradually decreased, later discovered due to some weasels over there. Initially, the village chief only gave him some broken wire netting. He didn’t bother spending money to fence it again, leaving gaps for weasels to exploit, eating over a dozen chickens. The net had a big hole, letting many chickens and ducks run away.

Calculating, this time he lost dozens of chickens and ducks. While Ye Rong was upset.

The next day, Li Hongqi came over and beat Ye Rong up. The villagers said, that night Li Hongqi went home to see his mom and happened to catch his mom and Ye Weijun in the act. Ye Weijun was quick, took two punches and ran.

Day after, Li Hongqi stormed to Ye Weijun’s house to find him, but he had already vanished. So Li Hongqi went and beat up his son instead.

Neither are pushovers; they fought fiercely. Both are now hospitalized, desiring medical compensation from each other. It’s been days, still battling.

Lin Wan couldn’t help but laugh joyously on the phone, "Well done, Aunt... Where did Ye Weijun run off to?" She’s trying to find Ye Weijun.

"Who knows, villagers say he went to find his daughter and wife."

Lin Wan raised an eyebrow subtly, feeling pleased. While searching ways, here he comes voluntarily. This saves her much trouble.

After chatting with her aunt for a bit, Lin Wan hung up.

With sister-in-law pregnant, she ought to express some kindness. Lin Wan planned to send some supplements for pregnant women back home.

"What’s got you so happy?" Han Yi held Little Star while watching his wife come out after a call, her smile almost reaching her ears.

"Happy, what?" Little Star mimicked Han Yi’s words, asking innocently.

Now, slightly older, Little Star’s eyes are quite like Han Yi’s, bright and black, one big, one small staring at her, making Lin Wan feel even more amused.

"Those ’happy’ affairs from back home..." Lin Wan pinched her daughter’s little cheek, retelling what her aunt said to Han Yi.

"Ye Weijun probably won’t look for Ye Qing; she is likely to come to S City to find his wife," Han Yi deduced instantly after listening.

"Eh? You’re so certain?"

Han Yi raised an eyebrow, "He injured someone back home, asking Ye Qing for such a sum. Five hundred isn’t a small number. Ye Qing is surely angry now. He wouldn’t dare to provoke her. It’s not Ye Qing he’s scared of, likely Mei Langchi. So likely he’d come here for Qiu Hualan.

Lin Wan frowned slightly, "Isn’t he afraid of repeating the last time and finding nothing here?"

"Having learned from experience, he won’t be that foolish. I reckon Ye Weijun probably secured a good amount from Ye Qing. He’s now got money, not fearing to come and linger here."

Lin Wan nodded, considering this, Ye Weijun likely to come to S City.

That’s great; if she’s lucky to encounter him, she’d be kind and give Qiu Hualan’s address, being fellow townsfolk.
