Chapter 163: The Sudden Relative
Yang Fan was washing up when Ye Tong suddenly walked in, "Fanzi, what did you do to your cousin?"
"My cousin? What cousin?" Yang Fan, who was brushing his teeth, turned his head and asked in confusion.
"Don’t you know?" Ye Tong was somewhat surprised, "Your Fourth Uncle’s daughter, she and your Fourth Aunt came over early this morning, saying they were here to pay a family visit and honor the ancestors."
"They came to our house?" Yang Fan asked in astonishment. "I only knew of this Fourth Uncle by name; I’ve never even met him. How come they suddenly decided to pay a visit?"
Yang Fan’s branch of the family actually had many members. His great-grandfather had six brothers alone.
By his grandfather’s generation, there were a total of nineteen brothers, both close and distant.
His Fourth Uncle was the youngest child in the eldest branch of the family, ranked fourth among the cousins.
Compared to them, Yang Fan’s line was the thinnest, with his grandfather and father both being only children.
Looking at their true ancestral home, which was actually a grand three-section complex, one could tell that they were once considered landlords.
However, for various reasons, all his grandfathers moved out of the village one after another, leaving his smallest and youngest grandfather to stay in the ancestral home, guarding their ancestral land and the ancestors.
Yang Fan only knew about these matters because his father had mentioned them, but he had no clear understanding of the specifics.
