Chapter 44: The History of the Burned

I think that in order to understand why the big willow tree emits a smell, we must first find out the history of Wuyangtun, and after thinking about it, I decided to ask the sister-in-law of the Xue family first.

The Xue family, like the Xie family, is a family that has existed since the beginning of the establishment of Wuyangtun, and I just saved Xue Shuai once, so it is better to talk when I get to the Xue family.

As soon as she entered the house, the sister-in-law of the Xue family poured tea very enthusiastically, and said with tears in her eyes:

"Master Han, this time it's really thanks to you for saving our little handsome, otherwise...... I'm afraid he's just like his dad and his father. ”

I smiled and said:

"This is what I should do, Xiaoshuai is a good boy, he should live a healthy and happy life."

"Actually, I came here this time to ask my sister-in-law if I know some things about the past in Wuyangtun?"

Asked this question, the sister-in-law of the Xue family was silent, and her face became slightly pale. After a long time, she spoke:

"My sister-in-law is married outside, I really don't know about this, why is Master Han asking this?"

I shook my head, my doubts even worse.

Looking at the expression of the sister-in-law of the Xue family, it was obvious that she knew something, but she kept silent, what kind of story was behind this.

I slowly smacked the bitterness of the tea, intending to finish the cup and leave.

The sister-in-law of the Xue family is good to us, and she has just suffered an accident, so I don't want to force her.

As soon as I got together, the sister-in-law of the Xue family bit her lip and looked embarrassed. When I was about to leave with Tian Yingying and Wei Dawei, the sister-in-law of the Xue family finally spoke:

"Master Han, our family did have a few diaries left by the eldest grandfather before, which talked about the affairs of Wuyangtun, but after Lao Xue made a fortune, he burned them all."

"On the day he burned the diary, Lao Xue drank a lot of wine and screamed all night, looking very aggrieved."

"Master Han, I know so much......

It's burned, it's burned again!

After Xue Laosi made a fortune, he did the same thing as the former village chief Xie Tushen, and his emotions were particularly unstable, what did he know?

I nodded and said:

"Thank you, Aunt Xue, I know."

After leaving the Xue family, Wei Dawei asked me what to do next, and I asked him to take me to some people who were there at the beginning of the establishment of Wuyangtun to ask them if they had left any records about the past of Tunzi at home.

But without exception, these families either left nothing, or simply burned down in their grandfather's generation.

Moreover, these people have all hanged themselves on the big willow tree before.

After walking for a long time, Tian Yingying rubbed her white and tender calves and pouted:

"Han Xiaoxie, why don't we leave here, everyone here is secretive, and the smell is getting worse and worse."

I looked at the sky, and it was a sunny day, but there was a hint of gloom for some reason.

As Tian Yingying said, the fishy smell in the air is getting stronger and stronger, and the villagers have closed their doors and windows.

"Since you are here, you have to figure things out, otherwise the villagers of Wuyangtun will be too dangerous. Don't forget, we haven't been to Lao Xie's house yet, I think their family must know something......"

As soon as he mentioned that he was going to Xie's house, Wei Dawei, the village head, first retreated, saying that he had a stomachache and went home in a hurry.

I smiled bitterly, looking at his panicked expression, he should be afraid of Wang Cui, that woman is indeed spicy enough.

It was not easy to go to the door of the Xie family, and it was not until eight or nine o'clock in the evening that Xie Kun's brother and son gave up arguing with Wang Cui and were scolded to go out of the village.

However, it is estimated that tomorrow morning, they will be able to lick their wounds and come to the door again.

Wang Cui made herself a cup of fat sea, took a small sip, and stood at the door of her house looking at us, Tian Yingying and I looked at her a little nervously.

Facing this woman, I couldn't help but shrink my neck, for fear that she would cross her waist and scold me.

However, Wang Cui beckoned very calmly and said:

"Since you're here, come in and sit down, can I still drive you away?"

Tian Yingying and I glanced at each other, and then followed her in.

Xie Kun's house is about the same size as Xue Laosi's house, but the decoration inside is more exquisite. The decoration style of the Xue family is dazzling gold everywhere, and there are several fat doll New Year paintings hanging on the wall, which is simply an upstart.

The Xie family, on the other hand, is much better, with uniform colors, ivory furniture, and a few incomprehensible oil paintings hanging on the walls.

I was slightly stunned, but I couldn't help but sigh:

"I didn't expect Uncle Xie to be rough outside, and he was quite tasteful when he came home."

With a poof, Wang Cui laughed.

"He's an upstart, what he can understand, these are all designed by me."

At this time, Wang Cui's posture is very elegant, as if she is not a person who scolds the street at the entrance of the village during the day, but is completely a noble lady in the city.

I smiled awkwardly:

"Hehe, Mrs. Xie's taste is really good."

Wang Cui waved his hand and said:

"Everyone is a smart person, so I won't talk nonsense, you asked in the village for a day, and I know why you came to me."

"The past records of Wuyangtun have been burned down by everyone, even our Xie family."

"But ......"

This woman, with a strong sense of oppression, made me a little breathless:

"But what?"

Wang Cui smiled and took out a delicate little book from the cabinet and said:

"But before the old dead could burn the records, I copied some and hid them.

As for whether you can get it or not, it depends on your sincerity. ”

I frowned, thinking in my heart what Wang Cui said about sincerity, I don't have much money if I ask for money.

Tian Yingying bit her lip and suddenly reached out to grab it, but Wang Cui, who had been prepared, instantly removed the notebook and locked it back in the cabinet.

"We don't have you any money, how do you need us to show our sincerity?"

I took a deep breath and said seriously.

Wang Cui stood up, walked forward curly, and motioned for us to follow.

She took us up to the second floor, pulled out a document from the study and handed it to me, it was Xie Kun's will.

In his will, Xie Kun stated that if he died unexpectedly, the estate would all belong to his younger son, and neither the eldest son nor his uncle and brother would have the right to inherit.

The factory in Wuyangtun was sold directly to the villagers at a discount, and the Xie family was no longer contaminated.

There is also a handprint of Xie Kun's signature underneath.

After reading this, I have some doubts:

"Isn't this very clear, in that case, why do you still have to fight with those people, wouldn't it be better to just take it out?"

Wang Cui sneered and said:

"Do you think that the old dead ghost gave us all the inheritance really for our good?"

I'm a little at a loss, these days, is there anyone who doesn't want to give money?

Wang Cui looked at me seriously and made a request that I could never have imagined......
