Who knows if it’s Lin Hao’s bad luck or the Yue Family’s good luck right now.
Lin Hao stopped another woman on the road, and as soon as he asked about Lin Chunju, the woman glared at him.
"Get lost! I don’t know her."
Lin Hao didn’t care about the woman’s bad attitude and urgently asked, "How can that be? I inquired before, and she should be in Daye Village."
Li Banlian didn’t want to ntion anyone from the Yue Family at all.
Her son is still in prison, while her mother-in-law is living comfortably at the Yue Family’s second son’s house.
They don’t acknowledge them at all.
They used to occasionally benefit through the mother-in-law, but now they have to endure gossip behind their backs every day.
One can imagine her frustration.
With one look at Lin Hao’s attire, Li Banlian knew he was wealthy and assud he ca looking to collaborate with the Yue Family.
Naturally, her attitude was unfriendly.
"Madam, can you think again?"
"Who are you calling madam? Get lost, there’s no such person in our village."
The more Li Banlian looked at Lin Hao, the angrier she got, waving her hand to make him leave quickly.
Lin Hao was a bit scared and didn’t dare to ask more questions.
"The won in this village are either crazy or fierce. Indeed, poor mountains produce trouble-makers."
Lin Hao muttered under his breath as he walked.
Villagers passing by couldn’t help but glare at him.
Startled again, Lin Hao hurriedly kept a distance.
Due to these unpleasant encounters, Lin Hao’s perception of Daye Village hit rock bottom.
He even suspected that Lin Chunju, who lived here all her life, might be an eccentric old woman.
After these incidents, Lin Hao began to question the accuracy of the information.
After all, decades have passed, everything changes. Who knows if she’s still in Daye Village?
Or even—
alive or dead.
Yet Lin Hao refused to think of the worst-case scenario.
This fear wasn’t for the aunt he’d never t but for his father and his own fate.
An eye for an eye.
Not soone else’s life, but your own.
Thinking this, Lin Hao’s face turned grim.
Unconsciously, he walked to a self-built villa.
This villa was different from most of the self-built houses in the village, appearing much more high-end.
The color and design of the exterior showed its uniqueness.
"Didn’t expect such aesthetics in the countryside."
Lin Hao muttered to himself, subconsciously thinking this family might be easier to talk to.
He pressed the doorbell but found no one inside.
He knocked on the white fence gate, but still, no one appeared.
At that mont, a woman with half-tied hair ca out from the small bungalow next door.
She wore a bright red coat, which seed a bit eye-catching for her age.
Seeing Lin Hao knocking, the woman craned her neck to look over.
"Who are you?"
Seeing his neatly dressed appearance, she imdiately guessed he was there to find the Yue Family.
The wife of Ergou felt a pang of envy in her heart.
They had always been neighbors, and the Yue Family used to be a struggling household in the village.
But now they have villas and cars.
Even soone as straightforward and hardworking as Yue Jianxi, with the help of his brothers, has beco wealthy.
Now they’ve also contracted a large piece of land to set up a quality pepper production base.
Just hearing it sounds so impressive.
Between neighbors, there was always comparison. With Ergou’s wife being vain and gossipy, how could her heart be at peace?
Lin Hao naturally didn’t know this. When he saw the neighbor co out, he imdiately seized the opportunity to ask, "Do you know if Lin Chunju is in the village?"
Ergou’s wife glanced suspiciously at the villa and then at Lin Hao.
Is he looking for sothing right under his nose?
