Chapter 759: Chapter 759: Is This the Only Requirement?

“Aren’t you Lei? No, you are Lei…”

The old man pointed at Di Yelei with trembling fingers, taking a long while to speak clearly.

“My name is Di Yelei, but sir, who are you?”

Di Yelei looked at the old man in front of him, not remembering having known him before, momentarily hesitating whether to attack or not.

Zhang Liang was also stunned! What was going on now?

“Master, what is …what is going on here?”

Zhang Liang was also confused by the situation!

The old man became even more agitated, trembling all over: “Do you live in Upper Village? Isn’t your dad’s name De Fu?”

“Yes, old sir, do you know my father?”

When Di Yelei saw the old man say his father’s name, he didn’t dare to neglect and hurriedly performed a fist greeting.

“No mistake! You are Lei, I never imagined you would be so grown up now…”

The old man could not stop his tears from flowing down his cheeks, and in two steps, he came forward and directly grasped Di Yelei’s arm, shaking it nonstop.

“Lei, I am your big brother, I am Di Hongyuan!”

Big brother Di Hongyuan!

Di Yelei was suddenly struck by lightning!

Inside the Di residence, Liu Sisi was worrying over an account book.

Outside, the wind was whistling, making business in various parts of the city no longer as good as before, especially after the bloodbath last night in the east, many shops on the street had closed their doors, no longer doing business because shopkeepers were afraid for their own lives.

And the new official salt shop opened by Liu Sisi was also in the east, unable to escape this misfortune.

When Mrs. Ran came to talk about the matter, she also had a helpless look on her face, as the shop was opened in her name. Now, seeing all the dead servants, they had to hurriedly bury them and allocated funds for their families.

But with this incident, the shop could not continue to operate, and the two partners would have to settle their money after dissolution.

Since things had come to this, Liu Sisi simply closed the remaining shops, moving all the items inside to hidden places. Especially the things like grain, they were secretly transported away.

After taking care of everything, Liu Sisi returned to the Di residence, exhausted. Guihua was waiting in the hall.

“Sisi, you’re finally back! Di Gaoyuan has taken the people of the second family branch and left Macheng County, destination unknown. I originally wanted to tell them about Uncle Di’s illness, but they left before dawn yesterday. I didn’t even get a chance to meet them, and they didn’t say when they would be back.”

“Is this true? Did you go and see for yourself?”

With the whereabouts of Ms. Wang unknown, Di Gaoyuan dared to leave Macheng County at such a critical time, without leaving a hint of information for himself and others, what was he up to?

Guihua had a look of contempt on her face: “How could I not have gone to see? Neighbors said that Di Gaoyuan sold the family’s ancestral house and all the land for 100 taels of silver, asking for cash on the spot. He even signed a letter of final Declaration, stating he would never return.”

“…He even signed the Declaration, it seems that he really doesn’t intend to come back.”

Liu Sisi suddenly remembered the triplet’s 100-day banquet; Di Gaoyuan seemed to have gotten drunk and didn’t return to Upper Village. Perhaps he had sensed the coming war long ago and had left Macheng County in advance…
