Regardless, Xue Baojun had to escort his nephew back home and let his brother and sister-in-law arrange the funeral for Xue Liwei.
After seeing Xue Baojun off, Zhao Youcai and Wang Qiang headed for home. On the way, Wang Qiang asked Zhao Youcai why he hadn't let Zhao Jun bring his dog.
An uncle should look out for his family. In Wang Qiang's eyes, business should be kept in the family. He would have been fine with the money going to his cousin, even if he didn't get a share himself.
But Zhao Youcai explained that he had taken two days off from work, something he was keeping secret from Wang Meilan.
If he let Zhao Jun come now, wouldn't the fact that he was skipping work be exposed?
Besides, now that they knew why the wild boar was so alert, all they needed to do before coming back tomorrow was take a shower and change into fresh clothes at home.
Wang Qiang heard this and thought it made sense. Once he and Zhao Youcai got back to the village, they parted ways and went home.
