Bab 288: Chapter 296: Truly Fortunate

Little did they know, both of them had guessed wrong. It turned out that Old Man Han and Mrs. Yang had spread the news of Han Yu's return, and the Village Chief thought that Han Yu, being the most promising young man from Xinhe Village and now a Sixth Rank Commander, outranking even the County Magistrate, certainly deserved a grand welcome. So he led the villagers in this grand gesture, standing at the entrance to the village beating drums and gongs to welcome Han Yu and his family.

It was only when Han Yu and Su Wenyue reached the village entrance and saw Old Man Han and Mrs. Yang standing amidst the drumming and gong-beating villagers, all smiling broadly, that they began to understand what was happening and found it somewhat amusing. Seeing how proud Old Man Han and Mrs. Yang looked, they could imagine how glorious the Han family members had been in the village lately.
