What Happened In Chapter 25?
In The Gwichon Village Mystery Chapter 25, Ga-eun’s backstory unfolds through her conversation with Mumyeong Heon. She reveals waking up in Granny Jeongja’s house without remembering her past.

However, they’re left in limbo with no matching fingerprints or missing person reports. Granny resolves to integrate them into the village, introducing them as new residents at a community gathering.
Tensions escalate when the village chief questions Granny’s decision. Concurrently, he doubles down on plans to cut down the guardian tree, dismissing Granny’s warnings of the guardian’s wrath. The chapter closes tensely as the villagers prepare to defy the sacred traditions, setting the stage for the drama in Chapter 26.
The Gwichon Village Mystery Chapter 26: Chief Vs Granny
The opening of The Gwichon Village Mystery Chapter 26 plunges us straight into conflict. The village chief confronts Granny Jeongja about her decision to allow Ga-eun and her father to live in Gwichon Village. He accuses her of disregarding village customs and questions Ga-eun’s purpose in staying. Granny retorts with sharp wit, questioning why the chief is so “sensitive” about outsiders.
The debate intensifies as the chief insists on a vote to determine Ga-eun’s fate. When no villagers raise their hands in approval, Granny makes a bold declaration: the house where Ga-eun will stay is hers, and she needs no one’s permission. The confrontation ends with Granny leading Ga-eun and her father to Haengran’s old house, their new home. However, the chief’s fury doesn’t subside. As soon as Granny departs, he gathers the villagers and announces plans to cut down the guardian tree that day.
The scene shifts to Granny guiding Ga-eun and her father to their new residence. Their gratitude toward her kindness is palpable, but the tranquillity is short-lived. A frantic villager interrupts, informing Granny that the chief and his followers are attacking the tree. Alarmed, Granny rushes to the scene, where she finds Seokho as the tree’s last line of defence.
The Chief Wins
The chief’s confrontation with Seokho is intense. The chief argues that the majority voted to remove the tree, asserting it’s a relic of an outdated belief system. Seokho counters with unwavering resolve, questioning why the villagers would destroy something that has protected them for generations. The verbal battle escalates until Granny intervenes, demanding the chief’s men stand down.
She warns that harming the tree could shatter the fragile peace the village has enjoyed and unleash dire consequences. The chief dismisses her claims as superstitious nonsense but reluctantly calls off the villagers for the moment. However, the chapter takes a surprising leap forward with a shocking time skip.
Three months later, Seokho, once unwavering, actively destroys the guardian tree. Granny is devastated by this betrayal, and her helplessness is portrayed as she witnesses the sacred tree being chopped down. The chapter concludes with the tree’s fate sealed, a chilling silence falling over the village as it braces for the consequences of this sacrilege. We will know all about the severity of this action in The Gwichon Village Mystery Chapter 27.
