Wang Xiaolong was brought up single-handedly by his grandfather.
In the past, he had asked his grandfather about his parents and other elders.
But his grandfather always remained tight-lipped.
Later, Wang Xiaolong had asked other elders in the village.
Regarding his parents, no one knew, saying mostly that they had gone out years earlier to work and since then there had been no news—some said they were dead, others speculated they had made a fortune and did not want to return.
As for his great grandfather and other such elders, opinions among the old were mixed.
When someone mentioned him, their face filled with anger, calling his great grandfather not a good person.
While some, with gratitude, straightforwardly said the great grandfather was a great benefactor of the entire village.
Yet, as to why there were these two extremely different opinions, those people spoke ambiguously, and no matter how persistently Wang Xiaolong questioned them, they would not elaborate.
