Senior brother, how can you fall for such a beautiful junior brother!

It has only been a month since the Qingming Festival. Logically speaking, if people had come to worship during the Qingming Festival, the grass on these two graves would not be so different from the grass on other graves.

The grass on these two graves is so lush that it hides the graves and cannot be found at a glance.

However, he couldn't say anything. After all, what if Qingming just didn't come because of something else?

Although he found a reason in his mind, Yun Huizhou knew that it was totally unreasonable.

Even if I couldn't come during the Qingming Festival due to something, what about before and after?

It's obvious that this grave has been unattended for a year.

He looked at Lian Li and was about to speak when he suddenly heard footsteps.

He immediately looked in the direction where the footsteps came from.

Lian Li also heard the footsteps at this time. It was obvious that the footsteps were those of someone who didn't know martial arts. He said, "It could be someone from the village."

"Yeah." Yun Huizhou said, "Do you want to go and ask about the situation? Maybe it's just that your brother and sister-in-law don't live here anymore."

Lian Li twitched the corner of his mouth. Where else could he live if not here? In town?

The town is not far from the village, and the original owner's parents left a blue brick house, which is better than many houses in the town.

Unless something unexpected happened, the original owner's brother and sister-in-law would not leave here.

Although he thought so in his heart, he also knew that it would be better not to say anything casually before knowing the specific situation.

"Let's go over and take a look. I'll also ask about my brother and sister-in-law's situation." Lian Li had calmed down from his inexplicable anger at this time, and the sadness that did not belong to him had disappeared.

After he finished speaking in a cold voice, he took the lead and walked towards the direction where the footsteps came from.

Yun Huizhou followed behind him, and after a few steps, they saw the owner of the footsteps.

A woman who looked to be in her forties, wearing coarse clothes, was holding a basket with some wild vegetables in it.

The woman was startled when she suddenly saw two men, but when she saw Lian Li's appearance clearly, an expression of extreme surprise appeared on her face.

"Aunt Liu." Lian Li quickly matched the woman with the person in his memory.

The original owner's personality was not very likable, but he was not a very naughty person either.

Moreover, the original owner's parents were both very nice people and were very popular in the village. Therefore, most of the older people in the village didn't like the original owner very much, but they didn't have any bad feelings towards him either.

"Lianjia Jilang?"

There was a look of disbelief on the woman's face. After hesitating for a while, she walked up to Lian Li, looked at Lian Li's face carefully, and then said something.

"It's really you. You're back."

Lian Li replied: "Yes, I came back to see my parents."

Aunt Liu said "Oh" twice, then looked at the two broken wooden tombstones that Lian Li was holding in her arms.

"Is this monument broken?"

"Well, when I came back today, I found that it was broken not far away." Lian Li deliberately showed some hesitation on his face: "Also... I saw that the weeds on my parents' graves and nearby are very deep..."

"It's deep." Aunt Liu showed some disdain on her face: "Since you left, no one has come to visit your parents' graves."

"How could that be?" Lian Li made a surprised expression: "Where are my brother and sister-in-law?"

Aunt Liu pouted, "They kept saying that your parents favored you, and that you should be the one to go to the grave. When you were in the village, everyone knew that you would come to visit your parents every few days, but they didn't come. Later, when you left, they said that you didn't go, so they stopped going even more. But everyone in the village knows that they forced you to leave."

Lian Li raised his eyebrows slightly, then immediately stopped them. Just as he was about to test his words, Aunt Liu suddenly slapped his forehead and said to him, "After you pay homage to your parents, leave quickly and don't return to the village. If you want to repair this stele, you'd better go to the town to find someone and bring it over to do it directly. Don't let your brother and sister-in-law know that you are back."

"Why is that?" Lian Li asked.

It was one thing that he didn't want to deal with the original owner's brother and sister-in-law, but it was another thing that the people in the village told him not to go back to the village and not to let the original owner's brother and sister-in-law know that he was back.

Something obviously happened to the latter.

Yun Huizhou had obviously thought of this as well. His eyes fell on Aunt Liu, waiting for her to explain the reason.

He was quite scary when he looked at people without any expression. Aunt Liu was obviously frightened by his gaze.

"This... who is this person...?" Aunt Liu looked at Yun Huizhou, especially when she saw the knife in Yun Huizhou's hand, there was a bit of fear in her eyes and she stuttered when she spoke.

Lian Li: "It's a hero, don't be afraid Aunt Liu."

"Oh, it's the hero." Aunt Liu laughed dryly.

"Aunt Liu, you just said not to let my brother and sister-in-law know that I'm back. Why is that?" Lian Li saw that the topic was about to change, so he quickly brought it back.

Aunt Liu looked around and confirmed that there was no one else around. She leaned close to Lian Li and whispered, "It's a good thing you left at that time. When they first found out that you were missing, your brother and sister-in-law were so anxious and looked for you everywhere. They even mobilized the people in the village to help them look for you."

Lian Li was afraid that he appeared too cold and incompatible with his personality, so after hearing these words, he deliberately showed an expression of surprise mixed with a hint of joy.

When Aunt Liu saw his expression, she stopped talking for a moment and seemed a little hesitant, as if she was struggling over whether to say the next words.

Yun Huizhou took a look and realized that something was obviously wrong. He had to explain it clearly, otherwise what would happen if Lian Li was cheated?

So he said, "Why does Aunt Liu look like that? Did something happen?"

Although Yun Huizhou's tone was very gentle, Aunt Liu was still a little scared of him, especially because of the knife in his hand.

Lian Li now realized that the original owner's brother and sister-in-law must have been up to no good again, but because of the joy he had just shown, Aunt Liu was afraid that if she told Aunt Liu about it, it would make him sad, so she was conflicted.

So he restrained his expression, showing a bit of strength in his fragility, and said to Aunt Liu: "Aunt Liu... is it because my brother and sister-in-law are looking for me for other reasons? They don't want me to go back, right? Tell me, no matter what it is, I can accept it."

Lian Li was already good-looking, and over the past year or so, her health has improved a lot, her temperament has also changed a lot, and she looks much better than before.

Looking at Aunt Liu like this at this time, even though she was afraid that he would be sad, she couldn't bear to see him go back and jump into the devil's cave.

She sighed slightly and continued, "We almost thought your brother and sister-in-law had figured it out. After all, you are his biological brother."

"You know what happened. A few days later, the middleman in the town came to our village to cause trouble for your brother and sister-in-law, asking them to pay back the money. They wanted to pay back twenty taels of silver."

Aunt Liu raised two fingers as she spoke. Twenty taels was not much for Lian Li now, but for people in a small village like this, it was a huge sum of money.
