Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

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.

The brothers' brazenness grew, and when the village faced demolition, they saw it as a chance to make a fortune. They started to spend their savings to buy up land at very low prices, just waiting for the demolition compensation!

Having reviewed the information, Song Yun planned to head to Dao Gou Village today.

After explaining the situation to Ye Qingqing, Song Yun initially wanted to have Huang Baoding stay by her side to ensure his wife's safety, but Ye Qingqing strongly refused.

After all, this was Magic Capital, even enemies wouldn't dare to go too far, whereas the place Song Yun was headed to was a mountain village with poor communication; if anything happened, she wouldn't want to live anymore!

Song Yun kissed Ye Qingqing's forehead, then called Jiao Ming to book four flight tickets for them.

Ye Zi's hometown didn't have an airport, so they had to land at the provincial capital and then drive for five hours to get there.

After the flight, Huang Baoding had already contacted the Ouyang Family's people locally and secured an imported Land Rover.

The group drove towards Dao Gou Village.

After a long journey, they finally arrived in a town about tens of kilometers away from the village around seven in the evening.

This was a township under a sixth-tier city, equipped with all necessary facilities. Life here moved slowly, and on the streets, it was rare to see a car worth more than a hundred thousand yuan; most were vans and pick-up trucks loaded with assorted materials.

Song Yun found a relatively clean hotel at random, planning to rest for the night, and assess the situation tomorrow.

In the evening, Song Yun and Ye Qingqing had a phone call. When she learned that Song Yun would face those scoundrels tomorrow, Ye Qingqing repeatedly implored him to ensure his own safety while completing the task satisfactorily.

Song Yun naturally responded with chuckles, and the two chatted affectionately over the phone for a while before hanging up.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, they hit the road again.

Finally, after encountering countless bumpy stretches, they arrived at Daogou Village.

The village was small, with only around a hundred households living there, and upon entering, Song Yun immediately sensed the poverty of the place.

The houses in Daogou Village were very old, with few having been renovated.

The villagers were dressed casually, their clothes speckled with mud from years of labor.

When they saw an off-road vehicle enter the village, they were all quite astonished.

They knew the situation of every household in their own village all too well; this visiting luxury car definitely didn't belong to anyone from there!

Soon the car door opened, and Song Yun and Ye Zi got out first. Upon seeing Ye Zi, the villagers all widened their eyes in surprise.

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."
