Qin Ye rode his bike to the entrance of the village, where he saw Qin Shoulin and Qin Liangcai, the uncle and nephew.
Naturally, they also saw him.
"Qin Ye," Qin Liangcai called out to him, then his expression turned somewhat embarrassed, "I’m sorry about yesterday, Qin Ye! My mother was talking nonsense. You and your wife shouldn’t mind her."
Usually, upon hearing this, one might say it’s fine or it doesn’t matter, but Qin Ye didn’t do so.
His gaze was indifferent. "If it weren’t for your grandfather’s sake, I wouldn’t have let my wife get involved in that matter at all yesterday. Today, too, it’s only for your grandfather’s sake, or else I wouldn’t have come."
Qin Liangcai’s expression stiffened, and he appeared a bit awkward.
"Qin Ye, your uncle knows you are a good man, and your wife is even kinder... It’s my sister-in-law who wronged your wife last night. From now on, I won’t let her bother you anymore, and I’ll make sure someone keeps her mouth shut."
Now their family... The elder brother was arrested, the old man passed away, and he, being from the second branch, was the main pillar of the family.
So, last night, they managed to get some truth out of the main branch, it was the sister-in-law who infuriated their father to death.
Although furious, there was nothing to be done since the man was dead, and they couldn’t let this incident spread, as causing your father-in-law’s death in anger wasn’t something to be proud of.
It would damage the reputation of their two branches... Every family has unmarried sons and daughters.
Qin Ye turned his head to look at him, "That’s good."
These three words were enough to indicate his stance.
Then, without saying more, he pedaled away.
Seeing this, Qin Shoulin hurriedly said to Qin Liangcai, "Quick, ride. We have to move fast too."
He had to return early, as there was still much to do.
Qin Liangcai responded affirmatively, quickly mounted his bike... Once his uncle got on the back seat, they followed swiftly.
However, the speed of two people lagged behind Qin Ye, and in a blink of an eye, his figure was out of sight.
Fortunately, by the time they reached the town entrance, they saw Qin Ye waiting there, panting heavily with sweat on his forehead despite the cold weather.
Qin Liangcai, also out of breath, asked, "Qin Ye, are we going to the police station now?"
Qin Ye nodded, then rode away.
After they arrived at the police station, Qin Ye led them to Captain Lu.
Luckily, Captain Lu was there. Surprised upon seeing them, he asked, "Are you here to see Qin Shouwang?"
Qin Ye nodded, "Yes, Qin Shouwang’s father passed away. The specifics, they’ll tell you! I need to leave; I have other things to handle."
Having brought them to Captain Lu was all the help he could offer.
What more did they expect from him?
Seeing Qin Ye leave so abruptly, the uncle and nephew were stunned.
He had left... what should they do now?
Suddenly, they felt clueless, as dealing with the police was what they feared most.
How could they even start the conversation?
Fortunately, Captain Lu was a nice person. He looked at them and asked, "What’s the situation? Do you want to see Qin Shouwang?"
Qin Shoulin, gathering courage, nodded, "Yes, can we see him? Our father passed away last night without seeing his eldest son for the last time. Although I don’t know what my brother did, my father will be entombed tomorrow... We need to inform my brother."
Qin Liangcai nodded in agreement.
Captain Lu paused, then said, "Okay, wait a moment."
He then called out to someone not far away, "Xiao Li, bring Qin Shouwang out. Some people want to see him."
"Okay." Xiao Li responded quickly, then left.
Qin Shoulin and Qin Liangcai waited uneasily for about five minutes before Captain Lu said, "Come, I’ll take you to see him now."
The uncle and nephew quickly followed.
Qin Shouwang, uneasy about who would come to see him, was surprised to see his younger brother and nephew.
"Shoulin, Liang Cai, why are you together?"
Then, thinking of his crimes, he was somewhat reluctant to face them.
He used to be regarded highly within the family, but now reduced to this situation... what face did he have to show anyone?
Qin Liangcai directly said, "Dad, Grandpa passed away last night, in the early hours."
Qin Shouwang’s eyes widened in shock, doubting his own ears.
"Who, who did you say passed away?"
Qin Liangcai began to cry, "Dad, it’s Grandpa who passed."
Disbelief filled Qin Shouwang’s eyes.
How could he have passed? Before he was taken away yesterday, wasn’t he well? Could it be because of his matter... that his father died of anger?
Before he could sink into self-blame and sorrow, he heard his younger brother’s slightly angry voice, "Big brother, it’s all because of the good wife you married... If it weren’t for her, our dad wouldn’t have passed away so suddenly; your wife angered him to death last night."
Qin Shouwang, "What did you say?"
