God-given mother: The villain cub is super clingy

Chapter 31 The Secret in the Ancestral Hall

Seeing that the old patriarch seemed to have something else to do, Qin Fang stepped aside and quietly looked at Lin Yue. He had just come forward based on his memory and Niu Jiaojiao's call of "Lin Yue".

When I see Lin Yue now, I feel that she seems a little different from the woman in my memory.

Looking at the weak little girl, her moves made people dare not underestimate her. Lin Yue had already taken a look at Qin Fang. He was strong and sturdy, and should have some skills. He should be on par with Old Man Ye and his son.

"The head of each family should stay, and the others should go back first!"

The old patriarch had spoken, and no one dared to disobey, so they all dispersed immediately.

"Mrs. Dalang, you stay too!"

"Erlang, take Sanlang back first and wait for mother at home!"

Lin Yue gave Erlang a few instructions and then stayed.

Sanlang looked back every few steps, with some hesitation on his face. He took a few steps, ran back, and whispered a few words into Lin Yue's ear.

Lin Yue was surprised, but she still had a smile on her face. She understood. She thought that the old patriarch kept the head of the village because of what Sanlang said. However, she still couldn't figure out why this happened.

Sanlang told her that they found a passage in the ancestral hall!

Did the villagers know about this? Did the old patriarch keep them here just for this?

Sure enough, the village chief looked at Lin Yue deeply.

"What Sanlang just told you was about the discovery of a passage in the ancestral hall, right?"

Lin Yue remained calm, showing neither shock nor surprise, as if this was a very normal thing.

"Since you already know this, I've kept you all here today just to reiterate the importance of this matter."

"Mother Dalang, you were saved by the old patriarch. Without his permission, you absolutely cannot stay in Ye Village. Do you know why?"

Could it be because of the passage in the ancestral hall? Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Yue's mind. Could the Ye Family Village be some kind of hidden family? Or were they backed by the mountains, some mysterious guardians of the tombs? But there weren't any tombs on the mountain!

Lin Yue shook her head.

"This is a long story. Since you've discovered the secret of Ye Village, there are only two options. Either we stand with Ye Village, or we send you into the tunnel."

Huh? Lin Yue thought the other way was death! Just being sent into the tunnel? It can't be that simple!

Seeing that Lin Yue remained calm, the old patriarch felt more appreciative.

"Alright, Dalang Niang is not so easy to fool. Let me tell you! We, the Ye family, are the guardians of the tomb."

Oh my god! She actually guessed it right! The tomb keeper! The mysterious tomb keeper! A villager from Yejia Village? But there are only about two hundred people in Yejia Village, and tomb keepers usually have been around for several generations. Some even have more than that!

Seeing that Lin Yue finally showed a suspicious look, the old patriarch felt a little more balanced.

"As for what tomb we are guarding, you will know it later. Today, Sanlang and Silang discovered a passage. I'm not afraid of you knowing that it only leads to the place where the real tomb keepers are. We are just the outermost tomb keepers!"

Lin Yue finally understood that this was the case. No wonder they were so calm and didn't seem to be panicking at all about their secret being discovered.

However, not all the people in the village have the surname Ye. There are also a few families with other surnames, such as the Lao Qin family, the Liu Changgen family, and the Erwang family. Could they be the same as her?

The outermost tomb keepers indicate that the people of Yejia Village are merely gatekeepers, or not even gatekeepers. Does that mean that the tomb they are guarding is not an ordinary tomb?

"What do I need to do?"

The old patriarch was very pleased. Lin Yue was indeed smart and he had not misjudged her.

The heads of each family present had no change in expression from beginning to end, as if this was just an ordinary gathering in Yejia Village.

“After the ancestral hall is repaired, we will open it, record the names of the people, and recognize the owner.”

"Before that, you have to give your four sons a name."

Lin Yue had some understanding of the first two items, but was a little confused about the last one, "recognizing the master", so the old patriarch waved his hand.

"It's a ritual. You'll know when the time comes!"

So simple? Lin Yue was a little skeptical, but she could ask other people, such as Liu Zhenzhu.

"You can ask. You still have time to consider before opening the ancestral hall."

The old patriarch seemed to see through her thoughts. His words were undoubtedly telling Lin Yue that she could still regret it. Of course, regretting it would require taking a second path. But was that a second path? If she was sent in and wanted to get out, it would probably be harder than climbing to the sky, right?

She didn't have a choice at all!

However, she had no plans to leave Yejia Village. On the contrary, she quite liked it here.

"Okay, now that we've decided, it's settled. We'll have people start repairing the ancestral hall tomorrow."

A series of events triggered by Saburo and Shiro's desire for revenge has now come to an end.

Lin Yue felt that it was going so smoothly that it was unbelievable, especially the matter regarding that passage.

She really wanted to find someone to ask at this moment, and Dong Caixia came over and stopped her.

"Ayue, please come to my house! I have already made your dress. Come and take a look. If it doesn't fit, I can alter it."

So Lin Yue followed her to Lao Qin's house.

Mrs. Qin was sitting in the yard basking in the sun. All the Qin family members were there. The second son Qin Qi and the youngest son Qin Shu were repairing the roof. Two teenage boys were helping them. Jin Xia was doing needlework with the two girls.

Qin Shu is the youngest son of Mrs. Qin. He is already 20 years old this year, but he has not yet married. It is all because of Mrs. Qin's illness. The family has no money and has a bottomless pit patient, so naturally no one is willing to marry their daughter to him.

Seeing Lin Yue coming back with his elder brother and sister-in-law, Qin Shu quickly greeted them.

"Brother and sister-in-law, you are back!"

Dong Caixia quickly introduced Lin Yue.

"This is my third brother Qin Shu, and that is my second brother Qin Qi. They are repairing the house!"

Qin Qi was busy on the roof and didn't have time to greet Lin Yue.

Qin Shu, on the other hand, looked at Lin Yue carefully after greeting her. He had no impression of the original Lin Yue. When he looked at her now, he found that Lin Yue was actually not very old, probably not even older than him. Her every move was graceful and even had a sense of heroic. Her facial features were very delicate and her smile was sweet. Although she was wearing a cloth dress, she was still as elegant as a lotus in clear water.

After taking a few glances, Qin Shu inexplicably felt his face getting hot. He was at the age of falling in love for the first time, so it was natural for him to blush when he saw a beautiful woman.

"Third brother, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and throw the straw up!"

Qin Qi shouted from the roof.

"Hey!"

Qin Shu quickly lowered his head to do his work, but his ears perked up.

"Ayue is here? Come inside and sit down."

As soon as Mrs. Qin saw Lin Yue, she took her hand and led her into the house. Now she could eat, she had more strength, and her complexion looked better. Although she was still a little thin, she had begun to recover.

"Thanks to your medicine, I'm feeling much better now, and my son and grandson are back. From now on, I won't let them go out. You don't have a man at home, so if you need any heavy work, just tell them and they'll help you."

"Auntie, there's not much heavy work to do at home. If there is, I will definitely let you know."
