Chapter 080 Jinjiang Debut

"Yes, Lao Li deliberately set up this plan, hoping that your father would die accidentally while stealing the snake eggs," Bai Mian said, waving a palm leaf fan, "but he didn't expect your father to be so lucky and actually returned safely with the snake eggs."

"Although your father stole the snake eggs, he was still infected with parasites and was unfortunately killed by the python. Lao Li's murder plan was accidentally successful."

"That's what I told you. It's not Chinese New Year or any other festival. Why would he kill the pig for no reason? It turns out he wanted to harm my dad!" Lin Qiusheng gritted his teeth in anger, "But why? Why would he want to harm my dad?"

Lame Brother guessed: "Could it be that the two of them had a conflict in the past?"

Lin Qiusheng immediately denied it: "Impossible! My father is generous and helpful. He is very popular in the village. Except for the time when he got drunk and had a fight with Heidan, I have never heard of him having a conflict with anyone!"

Lame brother asked again: "What kind of person is this Lao Li usually?"

Lin Qiusheng was stunned by the question: "This... I really haven't paid attention to him. Lao Li is a taciturn person. He lives alone in the village and makes a living by raising pigs. He rarely talks to people. I really can't figure out how my father offended him? During the Chinese New Year last year, he was short of manpower, so my father went to help him kill pigs!"

Bai Mian gave the answer: "Your father has never offended him, but he hopes your father will die because he covets your mother."

"My mother?"

Lin Qiu Sheng was so shocked that he could hardly stand. He had never thought in this direction before.

Bai Mian nodded and told the story about Lao Li: "Lao Li makes a living by raising pigs. Although his income is not bad, he is ugly and introverted. When he was young, he went on many blind dates, but was rejected by the women. So he has been single until now."

"Now Mr. Li is in his forties and still alone, without a wife or children. Every time he sees other families laughing and having fun, he gets very jealous. Gradually, his mind starts to become distorted, and he wants to break up other people's families and steal their wives."

"When your mother was young, she was the most beautiful girl in the village. Lao Li has always secretly liked her, so he chose your family to attack."

"Everyone knows that your father is reckless and impulsive, and has a big character flaw. Lao Li took advantage of this and made up a rumor that snake eggs can enhance virility. Then he used the excuse of inviting everyone to dinner to instigate your father to make a bet at the dinner table, thus forcing him to go up the mountain."

Lame brother grinned: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's another old bachelor who did this. What a sin. I remember there was someone who violated a monkey before. It was really disgusting. Can being single cost these people their lives?"

Lin Qiusheng clenched his fists: "This bastard actually dared to think about my mom! Our good family was destroyed by him just like that. Does he think that my mom will marry him after my dad dies? What wishful thinking!"

"It's very likely," Bai Mian analyzed. "You said it yourself. Your mother is weak and you are a college student. After your father passed away, there was no one to farm the land at home, and your family's income was cut off. Under such circumstances, your mother had to rely on other men to make a living."

"If Lao Li comes out to show his affection at this time, your mother may choose Lao Li. After all, your house and fields are in the village, and your mother will not leave the village. All the men of the same age in the village have families, but Lao Li is still single. Moreover, his family raises pigs and has a good income."

Lin Qiusheng clenched his fists and made them clatter. "Asshole, we don't need him! I'm a college student after all. Even if I have to work as a bricklayer, I can still support my mother. I will never let my mother fall into the hands of such a person! I'm going to settle accounts with him. Where is he now?"

Bai Mian: "He is in your yard right now. Your father's body is lying in the yard. Your mother is already panicking. This just gave Lao Li an opportunity. He stepped forward and volunteered to help your father with the funeral arrangements. He also comforted your mother and won her favor. He cried the loudest among the villagers."

Lame brother sneered, "This old bachelor is good at pretending to be a good person and even started crying. I guess he may be crying on the surface, but he can't help laughing in his heart! The person he secretly loves is a widow, isn't that just what he wants?"

Lin Qiusheng calmed down: "No, I can't let him get what he wants. I'm going to call my mom right now and expose his hypocritical mask!"

As Lin Qiu Sheng spoke, he called Xie Lan and explained the whole story clearly. The other villagers present also helped to recall that it was indeed Old Li who first brought up this topic at the dinner table that day.

Xie Lan was furious. She hung up the phone, rushed up and slapped the crying Lao Li in the face. Before Lao Li could react, Xie Lan slapped him again. She slapped Lao Li more than a dozen times on both sides and her hands were swollen.

Old Li's face was also swollen, but he was not angry at all. He even smiled. He pretended to be considerate and said to Xie Lan:

"Alan, I know you are sad, but you can't lose your mind. The most important thing now is to handle the funeral. Many things are waiting for your decision. If you are really sad, it's okay to hit me, but it's enough to vent. You can't let the children come back and see you like this."

Xie Lan spat directly on his face: "Bah! What Alan? Are you worthy of calling me Alan? Don't talk to me in that tone, as if you are someone else to me. It's a pity that our Dali is gone. If our Dali was still here, he would have punched you two miles away!"

Seeing that the truth was revealed, Lao Li's face turned bleak in an instant. After hesitating for a while, he simply confessed: "Alan, I didn't mean to harm your husband. You misunderstood me. Everyone followed suit at the dinner that day, and I just said a few words casually. Who would have thought that Dali took it seriously? I am also very sad that Dali died. I am willing to take care of you for him. Alan, I really like you. If you follow me, I can also help your children in the future. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Xie Lan looked at him coldly: "I can only tell you two words - no way!"

The villagers all laughed at him, saying that he was a toad wanting to eat swan meat. Seeing this, Lao Li became angry and said loudly, "Okay, you are stubborn. You are stubborn now, but you will regret it later! I want to see how you orphans and widows live! You have no man in your family and can't farm the land. In the end, you have to come back to beg me, right?"

Xie Lan put her hands on her hips and said, "You don't need to worry about how we live, worry about yourself first! You killed someone on purpose, and if you kill someone, you should pay with your life. Dali in our family is waiting for you in the underworld, waiting to drag you to the underworld!"

Xie Lan's words sounded fierce, but Lao Li laughed: "Hahaha, it's obvious that you don't understand the law. Please go home and learn some law! You want to kill me, but which law did I violate? What basis does the court have to sentence me to death?"

In the Cixin Hall, Lin Qiusheng was also furious. He anxiously asked Bai Mian: "Master, this bastard deserves to die. I want to call the police to arrest him and sue him! What crime should I sue him for?"

Lame Brother pondered, "Instigating a crime? But you only have the villagers as witnesses, no direct evidence, and the person who instigated your father to steal the snake eggs was actually Heidan, and Lao Li was just fanning the flames. No matter how you think about it, he is not breaking the law. What a cunning old fox!"

Bai Mian said to Lin Qiusheng: "Since you asked me this, it means you are unsure yourself. You know very well that it is almost impossible to punish him through legal means. His behavior is only immoral, but not illegal."

Lin Qiu was so angry that he almost bit his teeth off. His eyes were red as he said, "This is unfair! He killed my father, but he didn't get punished. Why? Is there nothing the law can do to him? Do I have to take revenge myself?"

"No!" Bai Mian immediately advised, "Don't be impulsive, you still have your own life. Your father passed away, and you are your mother's only support. She is still waiting for you to come home."

"What about Old Li? Am I supposed to just watch him get away with it?" Lin Qiu Sheng shouted in despair.

Bai Mian put down the palm-leaf fan in his hand and said, "Of course not. There is a cause and effect in the dark. He did this kind of thing, and his fate has come to an end."

A glimmer of hope appeared in Lin Qiusheng's eyes again: "Master, are you saying that Old Li will be punished without me having to do anything?"

Bai Mian nodded. "Except for your father, Lao Li ate the most snake eggs that day. Although it is a rumor that snake eggs can improve sexual performance, he believes that snake eggs are a good tonic and ate them faster than anyone else. So he was also infected with parasites, and it was a severe infection. He doesn't have much time left."

Next to Lin Dali's body, Lao Li kept talking nonsense. The villagers who were watching on the side finally couldn't stand it anymore and surrounded Lao Li.

"Old Li, you have done such a vicious thing. We can't tolerate you in this village!"

"That's right. He hurt Dali today. Who knows if he will hurt us tomorrow?"

"Dali's body is still hot, and he's already bullying someone's wife. I just can't stand it anymore. I'm going to seek justice today!"

The villagers surrounded Lao Li and shouted. Lao Li's forehead was covered with sweat. Seeing that the situation was not good, he bent down and begged for mercy from everyone.

The villagers didn't buy it at all. Some rolled up their sleeves and some took up their weapons. Just as everyone was getting ready to take action, Lao Li's eyes rolled back and he fainted.

At first some people thought he was pretending to faint, but after checking, they found that he had really fainted. Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

"We haven't done anything to him yet, why did he faint?"

"Could it be that he was scared by us?"

"This shouldn't be the case. After all, I'm a regular butcher. How can I be so timid?"

At this moment, Xie Lan received another call from her son, who said on the phone:

"Mom, don't worry about Lao Li for now. The old man won't live long. Tell the villagers that there are parasites in the snake eggs that day. Anyone who has eaten snake eggs should go to the hospital for a check-up. It will be too late if you go too late!"

When Lin Qiusheng made this call, Brother Lame was stunned: "So the parasites in the snake eggs are so powerful, are they going to destroy the village?"

Bai Mian: "Don't worry, only some people eat snake eggs. People who haven't eaten snake eggs will be fine."

"This is truly the Snake God's revenge!" lame brother exclaimed.
