Chapter 299: Substitution 1 She replaced someone else's identity and was also admitted...

By lunchtime, the snow on the road had almost melted.

The children were still chasing and playing in the alley, looking for some unmelted snow from the eaves or corners of the walls. You threw me a snowball, and I threw you a snow lump rolled in mud.

The ground in the alley was wet, so Yao Zhizhi had to be extra careful when walking. She lifted her trouser legs and tiptoed, not wanting to get her cotton shoes and trouser legs wet.

As they were walking, a group of noisy children rushed over chasing Maodan. Yao Zhizhi was unable to avoid them and was knocked down by Maodan. She fell into a puddle made by melted snow, like a monkey rolling in the mud.

She was so angry that she got up and kicked Maodan. This unlucky thing would either extort toys from her second sister or "borrow" toys from her house all day long, and would only return them if she had to go to their house to ask for them back.

Combined with the previous flying chess incident, she had completely lost her patience. Not satisfied with kicking him, she grabbed Maodan's ear and gave him a big slap in the face.

Phew, this feels great.

What? She's an adult, shouldn't argue with a child? Then why did his mother, Mao Ling, humiliate Guangmei? That's called tit for tat!

She is a vengeful person, and she just took the opportunity to teach this kid a lesson.

Maodan was frightened by her. He covered his mouth with one hand and his butt with the other. He wanted to yell a few words, but when the other children saw him being beaten, they immediately surrounded him excitedly and clamored for compensation from him.

He didn't have time to settle the score with Yao Zhizhi, so he turned around and ran. Seven or eight boys started chasing him. A group of half-grown boys ran to the edge of Yu Lake in a large number, like a swarm of locusts, which was very scary.

Yao Zhizhi originally went to the front to call her second sister's family and mother-in-law to come to the back for dinner, but now seeing this state, she had no choice but to go back home.

When they got to the yard, Yao Weihua saw her like this and felt both amused and distressed. He quickly carried the kettle to the bathroom and said, "Did you fall? Hurry up, your clothes are so wet, don't go to the bathhouse."

"Well, it's windy on the road and it's easy to catch a cold, so I'll just wash it at home." Yao Zhizhi was almost frozen to death. It was so cold and her clothes were wet, it was really painful.

Yao Weihua quickly asked Qi Changxiao, "Brother-in-law, where is the bathing tent? Didn't you put it away during the general cleaning a few days ago?"

Qi Changxiao hurried to look for it in the box behind the west room. The bathing tent was a thing that kept people warm when they were taking a bath, but made them freeze to death when they came out. That was why they went to the bathhouse in winter. Today's situation was special, so they could take it out for emergency use.

Yao Zhizhi quickly took the hot water off the coal stove, moved closer to the heat wave, and warmed herself by the fire.

Soon, Qi Changxiao found the bathing tent, went to the bathroom to hang it up for her, helped her pour hot water and adjust the cold water, and was very considerate.

Yao Weihua took the empty kettle and lined up to boil a few more kettles of hot water.

Yao Zhizhi felt a little warmer and said with a smile, "Third brother, I just had some eggs, it feels so good."

Yao Weihua was stunned for a moment, then realized: "You didn't fall by yourself, was it Maodan who hit you?"

"Yeah!" Yao Zhizhi was very happy. She could finally vent her anger with a clear reason. In the past, she had always tolerated it for Aunt Mao's sake, but when Mao Ling made a fuss a while ago, she completely turned against her.

As expected, one should always be happy to take revenge. Otherwise, sooner or later, one will end up hurting oneself internally.

Yao Weihua laughed heartily: "I knew you wouldn't be able to bear it for much longer! Beat him when he deserves it. If you don't, someone else will do it for his mother sooner or later."

As he said this, he quickly opened the cover of the stove's air outlet so that the fire would burn more vigorously.

Yao Zhizhi waited until she felt a little warmer before going into the bathroom.

Qi Changxiao helped her find all the clothes and tucked in the bathing tent outside to prevent any drafts. He reminded her, "Call me when you're about to come out and I'll pass your clothes in from outside the tent."

This way you don’t have to wear it outside, otherwise you will catch a cold.

Yao Zhizhi smiled and sat in the bathtub. Although this thing was not easy to use, it could still be of great help in special times.

The heat blurred my vision, and one or two fragments flashed through my mind in a trance.

That was when I was in Yaowangzhuang. Rural people also took baths like this in winter. Sisters, you help me pass clothes, I help you get towels, we help each other and are very friendly.

A familiar face flashed by in the mist. Yao Ningning was standing outside the bathing tent with a pot of hot water. She was worried that her bath water had gotten cold and wanted to add some hot water for her.

Yao Zhizhi reached out and opened the bath curtain a little. Just as she took the kettle, Wang Fang started yelling in the yard, "Did it fall into the tub while taking a bath? It's been so long and it hasn't come out yet. Doesn't it waste firewood to boil water?"

Yao Zhizhi had no choice but to put down the kettle in her hand and rub it with the half-warm and half-cold water.

After washing, she called out to her third sister, opened the shower tent a little, took the towel and clothes, put them on while there was still heat in the tent, and then went out.

Yao Ningning was afraid that her feet would get cold if she went out in slippers, so she prepared a small stool and cotton shoes for her in advance. She could warm her feet by just wiping them with a towel.

This scene flashed by, and Yao Zhizhi sighed silently.

Even after so many years, she still couldn't forgive Yao Ningning. Even if she occasionally flashed back to some of their past interactions, she still felt uncomfortable.

She didn't know whether Yao Taotao and Yao Ningning passed the exam. It was cold and she was too lazy to ask.

After taking a hot shower and getting dressed, Qi Changxiao took two towels, one to wipe his hair and one to wrap his hair to prevent his long hair from hanging on his cotton jacket and getting his clothes wet.

Yao Zhizhi returned to the back room and looked around at the family members who were eating. She couldn't help but wonder, "Changxiao, where are my brother-in-law and mom? Are they working overtime?"

"Our mother just called and said that there was a family murder case and she has to go to the scene to maintain order, so she won't be back for dinner." Qi Changxiao quickly got up, took out the food that was simmering in the pot, and handed the chopsticks to Yao Zhizhi. As per the old rule, as long as no one is at home, the others will leave a portion untouched before starting to eat.

I kept three today, one for taking a shower and two for police work.

When Yao Zhizhi heard that there was a case, she immediately became energetic. She finished her meal in a few bites, dried her hair, and quickly called Qi Changxiao to go out and take a look, and by the way, bring food to her mother-in-law and brother-in-law.

The crime scene was in the tube-shaped building opposite Xiao Wei's house. When we got there, even the street was crowded with people.

It was the end of the year and some units were not so busy. Some people showed up in the morning to prove that they were at work, and then ran back while their leader was away.

Some simply use the excuse of being busy at home to ask for leave. Anyway, those who have a stable job these days are fearless.

In short, Yao Zhizhi and Qi Changxiao struggled to squeeze into the middle, but she still couldn't see what was going on inside. Fortunately, the police and doctors carried out two bodies at this moment, and Yao Zhizhi's system frantically popped up all kinds of melon-eating alarms.

Yao Zhizhi took a quick look and found it unbelievable that seven people died in one go. No wonder the people nearby came.

In short, the male owner of the house is surnamed Wang and the female owner is surnamed Zhang. Both of them are divorced and remarried. The man has a son and the woman has a daughter. After remarriage, they gave birth to two daughters and a son. Together with the man's parents, there are a total of nine people in the family.

A few years ago, the man went to the countryside to work with his ex-wife's son. After a few years, his daughters got married and started working and moved out.

So now only Mr. and Mrs. Wang and Zhang, their youngest son and daughter-in-law, their grandchildren, and the male owner's mother live together. As for the male owner's father, he passed away last year.

Plot summary: After reading this, Yao Zhizhi still thought that the person who cut in line should have escaped the disaster, but when she continued to read on, she was dumbfounded.

It turns out that the guy who jumped the queue also took the college entrance examination this year, but when the results came out, he was not on the list. He has had good grades since he was a child, and he did not give up studying even after jumping the queue. He didn't believe that he would not pass the exam, and he just came back and made a fuss a few days ago.

A few days after the incident, the whole family died.

Yao Zhizhi couldn't help but suspect that the deaths of these seven people might be somewhat related to this troublesome son.

She tugged at Qi Changxiao's sleeve and asked with her eyes: What's the reaction of your system?

Qi Changxiao shook his head. Although there were several people at the scene whose merit values ​​were ridiculously low, they were not negative. People with negative merit values ​​were not necessarily murderers, but murderers must have negative merit values. This law would not change.

He pushed aside the person in front of him, making way for Yao Zhizhi, and warned, "Be careful. The person last time was hiding outside and watching from afar, and the one today might be the same."

Yao Zhizhi understood and kept an eye on her surroundings. After finally squeezing to the front, she saw the body that had just been carried out.

The deceased was a middle-aged woman, the stepmother surnamed Zhang. Her skin was a strange cherry red, and she looked like she died of gas poisoning.

Tang Fengyuan happened to be helping to maintain order. He spotted her and hurried over, saying, "What are you doing here? Seven people died at once. It's terrifying. Go back quickly."

The implication is that there is a lot of resentment here, so don't get involved with dirty things.

Yao Zhizhi hesitated for a moment, but still left the meal and left. All the systems she needed to understand were revealed, and the rest depended on whether Qi Changxiao could discover anything.

On the way back, she couldn't help but shudder: "Could it be this son who cut in line and did it?"

"It's possible." Qi Changxiao remembered something. "A few days ago, Xiao Wei was still mumbling in the art department, saying that there was a boy across the street who had always had poor grades. He actually received a call from the provincial admissions office saying that he was accepted into a prestigious university in the capital."

It seemed that there was no suspense. Yao Zhizhi suddenly felt fortunate that no one would dare to replace her and Qi Changxiao's achievements. One was the son of a martyr and the director, and the other was the daughter of a leader.

As expected, many things in this world ultimately depend on parents.

That's why she works so hard and is determined to go to college. Otherwise, how will she support her children in the future?

She wouldn't bully others, but she also couldn't allow others to bully her children. She looked at the bright sun above her head and couldn't help but sigh: "I still have to tell my second sister when I get home. I have to send some money to Qianqian every now and then and write letters. Even if it's just superficial harmony, it's better than a direct quarrel."

"You're overthinking it. You didn't go with us last time, so you didn't see how happy Qianqian was in Hong Kong. The colorful world, endless money, endless new friends, biological father, stepmother, none of that matters anymore." Qi Changxiao consoled him, "Let's go, go back and tell big brother, we probably won't be able to get together this year."

At least Yang Shuming can't go.

When they were almost at the entrance of the alley, Yao Zhizhi saw Chu Lingyi leaving cursing, and the system screamed, "Host, host, replace Dagua!"

Yao Zhizhi quickly took a look and found that Chu Lingyi was indeed restless. She replaced someone else's identity and was also admitted!

So why is she going back to her parents' home? Is she trying to get her mother and child back?
