Thinking of this, Guo Wen hid the coldness and calculation in his eyes, raised his head and smiled, "Fellow villagers, please go away, please go away! We have finally come back, and we want to go home and rest!

"Has everyone finished their work in the fields? Get busy!"

As he said this, he helped Yu get into the car and walked ahead to lead the way.

The street in front of me was wide and flat, but it was not what I remembered. It was really difficult to recognize it for a moment.

Uncle Chen Jiu came over with a cane and said indifferently, "Guo boy, you don't recognize your own home, do you? I'm an old man with nothing to do, I'll take you there."

The four members of the Zhao family just watched coldly.

Guo Wen turned his head and looked over. When he glanced at An An, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

An An raised her chin towards him and looked at him through her nose.

Guo Wen snorted, turned his head, and suddenly tripped and fell flat on his face.

"Ouch!" Uncle Chen Jiu said sarcastically, "Why did you fall on flat ground? Did you develop some leg problems from being away for so many years?"

Guo Wen climbed up with a red face and looked down. He found that his palms and knees were bruised, with blood oozing out and a burning pain.

Looking at the ground again, it was indeed very flat, without even a stone.

Others were still very far away from him, so he couldn't accuse anyone and could only blame himself for his bad luck.

An An covered her mouth and laughed, "It's what she deserves! It's what she deserves! People with bad intentions will naturally not get good rewards!"

The other members of the Zhao family also felt happy.

Aunt Zhao cursed out loud, "Serves you right! This is karma!"

It wasn't worth delaying farm work for such a person, so the whole family quickly went back to work.

Zhou Yu naturally knew everything that happened here, but he didn't show up because it would only complicate things.

What's more, he knew very well that Qin Ying definitely didn't want him to interfere in such matters.

However, a person of bad character like Guo Wen cannot be left alone.

He ordered Xu Xia: "Go and report the matter of Lieutenant General Yu to the higher-ups." He knew very well that the best way to strike Guo Wen was to make his dream shattered, that is, to make Lieutenant General Yu lose everything.

Based on what Lieutenant General Yu did, he deserved his fate.

Xu Xia took the order and immediately contacted someone to do it.

Guo Wen and his group had already arrived at the door of their home. Looking at the crooked fence gate and the half-collapsed adobe house, Guo Wen was dumbfounded.

Yu Shi was even more disgusted, covering her nose and asking: "Husband, did we go the wrong way?"

"Master Chen Jiu," Guo Wen turned to look at Uncle Chen Jiu, "Is this my home? I remember that when I left, my house was still very new!"

"You also said it was time for you to leave," Uncle Chen rolled his eyes, "Don't you think about the fact that you've been gone for a few years!

"A house will deteriorate if it's not occupied for a year, let alone several years!"

"How is that possible!" Guo Wen shouted, "Don't we still have Yingzi?"

"Why are you trying to get involved with Yingzi?" Uncle Chen rolled his eyes. "What's your relationship with her? How dare you let her show you a house?"

"Your sister wants Yingzi to starve to death!

"Don't you think about it? Your sister was raised by Yingzi. You really don't know how to be grateful!"

Guo Wen realized he had lost his composure, swallowed his saliva, and said with a bitter face, "Master Jiu, I was mistaken. Look, my house is uninhabitable. Can I..."

"Stop!" Uncle Chen raised his hand to refuse, "My house is small and shabby, it can't accommodate so many of you!

"What's the big deal if the house is broken? There's a saying that goes 'A son won't despise his mother's ugliness, and a dog won't despise his family's poverty.' Do you still despise it?"

"I'll call the villagers to help, and they'll clean it up for you right away. You won't be staying here for long anyway, so aren't you planning to visit the grave, pick up Guo Nier, and leave?

"There's no need to do a big cleanup, as long as it's habitable."

After saying that, he ignored them, got up and left to greet his fellow villagers.

Yu looked at the high-walled courtyard nearby and tugged at Guo Wen, "Whose house is this? It's such a big yard, more than enough for us to live in. Go ask!"

When Guo Wen arrived at the door, he found it was unlocked, so he pushed it open and asked loudly, "Is anyone home?"

No one answered in the courtyard, but a young man from the west neighbor came out and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Guo Wen stepped out and turned to look.

The man looked to be in his early twenties, tall and slender, with a handsome appearance. He was as straight as a pine tree and as elegant as a bamboo. There was a sense of nobility between his eyebrows.

She just had her hair tied up with a wooden hairpin and was wearing cloth clothes, and she didn't look like a person of any status.

Guo Wen looked at him for a few seconds and asked, "Who are you? Why don't I recognize you?"

"I know you," Zhou Yu said with a faint smile. "You are Guo Wen, the owner of the abandoned house. The family you are inquiring about is surnamed Zhao, and they are your old neighbors."

"Huh?" Guo Wen's eyes widened. "What did you say? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

How could the Zhao family live in such a nice house!

"You've already climbed up the social ladder," Zhou Yu said sarcastically, "Why can't the Zhao family just work hard and get rich?"

He continued, "Now that no one is home, you can't just walk in like that. You've been in the army for a few years, so you should know a little bit about the law. Breaking into a private house is a crime."

Guo Wen choked.

Yu originally wanted to stand up for her husband, but when she saw Zhou Yu's appearance, her words became very gentle and polite: "Sir, are you staying here temporarily?

"I don't think you're from the countryside. You must be a nobleman traveling around, right?"

"That's all I have to say." Zhou Yu turned around and went back to the yard.

Not long after, Uncle Chen Jiu returned with a few people. Seeing them standing in front of the Zhao family's gate, he came over and took Guo Wen to his house. "I called some people for you. Ask your people to help too. We'll be cleared out in no time!"

Guo Wen grabbed Uncle Chen Jiu and asked, "Master Jiu, is this really the Zhao family? Aunt Zhao and Hu Zi's home? How can they live in such a nice house?"

"You don't know this, right?" Uncle Chen Jiu said proudly, "To be honest, the Zhao family can have such a good life today thanks to Yingzi!

"Yingzi is capable and smart! Her family is so angry when they leave!

"The rabbits we raise in our village now are raised with the help of the Zhao family!

"Well, there's more. Many things need to be discussed from the root cause. If Yingzi and Huzi hadn't discovered the water source, everyone in our village would have died long ago!

"They even found food in the mountains. Otherwise, with only water but no food, they would still be waiting to die!"

Uncle Chen Jiu was so excited that he talked about the Zhao family's contribution to Tongshu Village, with saliva flying all over his body.

Yu walked a few steps to the side in disdain. Seeing him talking nonstop, she became impatient and couldn't help interrupting: "I say, who is that young man next door?"

Uncle Chen Jiu glanced at her. It was true that birds of a feather flock together. This couple were not good people!

But he did not hide it and said respectfully: "That is our Qin County's great judge, Mr. Zhou!"
