After Ye Chen pulled Qiqi out of his own courtyard, he walked into the courtyard of Qiqi's house, and immediately saw a simple meal on the table, although it was early, it was much more sumptuous, at least it was not the first time Ye Chen came, that table of simple meals could be compared.

"You're here. Zhang Ying smiled at Ye Chen, then stood up and beckoned Ye Chen to sit down.

Ye Chen smiled slightly, pulled Qiqi to sit aside, and said, "In the future, if I live here, I will trouble you to take care of it more!"

"Where!" Zhang Ying saw that Ye Chen had changed a little, but she didn't know exactly what had changed.

Immediately, the three of them chatted while eating, and in the middle of the chat, Zhang Ying also knew that Ye Chen's name was now Xiao Zhang.

After the meal, Qiqi pulled Ye Chen and asked Ye Chen to play with him, Ye Chen worked hard to coax him, and then turned around and walked outside.

Ye Chen left Zhang Ying's house and walked directly to the center of Zhangjia Village, Ye Chen wanted to have a good talk with the village chief to help Zhang Ying solve the current predicament.

Ye Chen asked people on the road, and only then did he find the village chief's residence in the most central part of the village, and then Ye Chen knocked lightly on the door and said, "Is anyone there?"

"Who!"

A moment later, the voice of a middle-aged woman came from the courtyard, and the door was slowly opened.

"Who are you looking for?" A middle-aged woman walked out of the courtyard, looked at Ye Chen standing in front of the door, frowned slightly, and said, "I don't seem to have seen you, do you?

Ye Chen politely bowed to him slightly and said, "I just came yesterday." Isn't this coming to talk to the village chief!"

"Just came yesterday?" The middle-aged woman looked Ye Chen up and down, then looked at Ye Chen's polite appearance, and nodded slightly. Then he said, "Come in with me!" My father has just had breakfast and is resting in the house!"

Ye Chen nodded with a smile.

"Girl, who's coming!"

As soon as Ye Chen walked into the courtyard, he heard an old voice coming from inside the house.

"Dad, it's a new person who has moved in!" the middle-aged woman shouted into the house, and then said to Ye Chen: "You go in directly! I still have to work in the field." I won't greet you!"

As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged woman immediately picked up the tools that had been put aside, turned around and walked outside.

Ye Chen watched the middle-aged woman leave. Then he walked into the house.

As soon as Ye Chen walked into the house, he saw an old man in his seventies or eighties, who was sitting on the top and looking at him with a kind face.

Ye Chen bowed slightly to him and said, "Old village chief!"

The old man smiled kindly and said, "Don't call me the old village chief." The people in the village chief all call me Lao Zhangtou. You can also call me Lao Zhangtou!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly, and said: "I came here for two things, the first incident is that I am from outside, I plan to live here, the house has been found, I am here to say hello!"

Lao Zhangtou listened to Ye Chen's words and nodded slightly. Then he said: "Little brother, don't be surprised, what should be asked." I still have to ask, I don't know where the little brother is from, what does he do?"

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said: "My name is Xiao Zhang, just a scholar, I have no power to tie the chicken, now the family is down, reduced to here, with some ancestral property can also live without worry, now passing by here, I feel that this place is a good place, so I plan to live and spend the rest of my life." ”

These words were what Ye Chen had wanted to do for a long time, after all, if he really asked Ye Chen to tell him where he came from, Ye Chen really couldn't say it.

Hearing this, the old man nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then I welcome the little brother on behalf of our Zhangjia Village!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "I have a second thing!"

"The second thing?" Old Zhang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "The little brother is now a member of our Zhangjia Village, so it's okay to say anything!"

Ye Chen nodded and said, "It's about Zhang Ying!"

"Zhang Ying!" Old Zhang was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "How do you know her?"

Ye Chen looked at Lao Zhangtou's dissatisfied appearance, didn't care in the slightest, and continued: "When I first came, she entertained me, and I also learned the ins and outs of the matter from her mouth, I feel that she should also be a victim in this matter, and she should get more family affection and comfort, not the cynicism of others." ”

Lao Zhangtou pondered for a while, and then said: "At that time, we gave her a chance, we asked her to destroy that evil seed, and then the village will still be her home, but she insisted on giving birth to the robber's child, which is a great shame for her and for our village!"

Ye Chen frowned, thought for a while and said, "She is now taking care of her own children, you are afraid that it will be a joke from other villages, she has children before she is married, right?"

Lao Zhang looked at Ye Chen, and then nodded honestly.

"Then you weishenme won't help her find a new man?

Lao Zhangtou sneered and said, "Help her find one? Are you kidding? She is a woman with a child, although she looks good, but everyone in the village knows that she gave birth to a child at the age of fourteen, this is simply a red face and trouble, who wants to live with her? Besides, who dares to guarantee that the robber will not come again in the future? If he finds out that Zhang Ying has become someone else's wife when he comes, he will definitely kill that person!"

Ye Chen frowned, and then said, "Is that right, as long as a man is willing to be with her, you will forgive her?"

Lao Zhangtou nodded and said: "As for what happened many years ago, the people in the other villages don't know about it at all, they only know that she is a person who has already given birth to a child before she gets married! As long as someone is willing to carry the black pot and say that the child is his, then the reputation of our village will be preserved, and we are not willing to embarrass her." ”

Ye Chen took a deep breath and said, "Since that's the case, then this matter is wrapped up in me!"

Immediately, Ye Chen turned around and walked outside.

Lao Zhangtou saw that Ye Chen was leaving, and then said, "I advise you not to waste your efforts, no one will want to be with her!"

Ye Chen suddenly stopped, then turned his head to look at Lao Zhangtou, and said in a deep voice: "Then I will marry her!"

Immediately, Ye Chen waved his sleeves and walked directly outside.

Old Zhang Tou looked at Ye Chen's departing back, smiled helplessly, and said to himself: "This kid is not bad, but he is a little impulsive! As for Zhang Ying's matter, what he said is indeed right, after so many years, if we are embarrassed for her, it will seem a little too much! That's it, I'd better inform them and let them pay back to Zhang Ying's mother and son in the future!"

Thinking of this, Lao Zhangtou stood up with difficulty on crutches and limped outside (to be continued). )
