Chapter 1872: Truly Vicious
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xia Jinyuan’s analysis was like a sudden clap of thunder. Principal Chen was originally leaning against the bed frame. As Xia Jinyuan analyzed further, he couldn’t help but sit up straight. Although he was thin, his expression became more serious.
Major Xia was born in a military family. His elders and brothers were either in politics or in the military. The political acuity he had was definitely stronger than a retired soldier like him who came from a humble background. Every word he said was not without reason. His speculations were not randomly made either.
On the contrary, after hearing his speculation, Principal Chen felt his back break out in a cold sweat.
Both he and Grandpa Gen had made a mistake!
“My uncle and I made a serious mistake.” Principal Chen punched the bed with one hand and said with frustration, “All along, my uncle and I only thought that Ye Zhifan’s family treated Ye Jian like that because they didn’t want Ye Jian to be too outstanding and suppress Ye Ying. That’s why Sun Dongqing made things difficult for Ye Jian. She was afraid that Ye Jian would steal Ye Ying’s limelight.”
That was not just what Principal Chen and Grandpa Gen thought. All the villagers thought the same!
With Sun Dongqing’s unwillingness to see other people being better than her own family, she would definitely do such a thing. They all thought so and had never questioned it.
“I heard from Grandpa Gen that not long after Grandma Ye was buried by Sun Xueqing, she started spreading rumors in the village. She said that the reason why her eldest son and daughter-in-law died so young was all because of Ye Jian. If anyone wanted to take Ye Jian in, their family would be in deep trouble! With just one sentence, she convicted Ye Jian and caused the villagers to avoid her. They were afraid that they would get into trouble.”
Xia Jinyuan had never heard of Ye Jian’s past before. The moment he heard those words, they turned into needles that pierced into his heart and made his heart hurt. His handsome face twisted in anger.
How old was the little fox then? She was only two or three years old!
That was an era where one’s life could not be guaranteed. In an era where there was no access to news, the villagers would pray to the gods first regardless of whether they were in trouble or sick. Hence, when they heard that the little fox was a jinx child… The Ye family was really vicious!
Hearing the pain in his heart, Xia Jinyuan laughed coldly. “It seems like Grandma Ye was paving the way for Ye Zhifan to adopt Ye Jian. Her father and mother were said to be jinxed by her… Even if the villagers wanted to adopt Ye Jian on account of the compensation they could receive, they were scared by the rumors.”
Fated to be jinxed?
They were heartless and vicious to the little fox. Of course, Xia Jinyuan had to make them lose everything!
Principal Chen only knew about Ye Jian’s past in the village through Grandpa Gen.
After knowing this, he felt more pity for Ye Jian. His heart ached for the girl.
Principal Chen felt relieved when he saw the angry major.
Although Commander Xia’s only son was a noble son, he was also a man who valued relationships and loyalty. If he passed away one day, with Major Xia taking care of Ye Jian, he would be able to answer to his uncle in the afterlife.
“At that time, who knew why the Ye family did that? After Grandma Ye lost her son, everyone sympathized with her a little.. After she lost her daughter-in-law, rumors of the girl being cursed in her life became much more credible.”
