Kangqiao Village was the village in Quantou Town closest to the city.
Ye Yuan had noticed yesterday that there were many transient residents there,
which was why he had said that.
He had been afraid that if he casually named another village, this older sister would ask what his grandmother's name was.
"Oh! No wonder!"
Hearing the older sister's words, Ye Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he had expected, after saying that he used to live in Kangqiao Village,

Combined with what the older sister had said, a bold guess suddenly
