"Don't go." Li Dou stopped her in front of her, his voice smooth.

"What are you doing? I'm going to call someone." It was lunchtime and there were not many people around the pond. In broad daylight, Shen Heng was not afraid that he would do something wrong.

"Xiao Hengheng, those things I said to my cousin were just a joke. How could I bear to treat you like that?" Li Dou said as he came to hold her hand. When Shen Heng mentioned one thousand taels yesterday, he knew she had heard it. The fish that was in his hands just slipped away like that, and he couldn't bear to think about it.

Chen Heng took a step back and looked at him coldly: "You are right, you were joking, I was joking with you too, but now we are done. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other." In fact, Yuan Yu didn't really like this kind of person, she just wanted to escape from here. The usually quiet girl took the wrong path on her first act of courage.

Seeing Chen Heng's look of disdain, Li Dou frowned, "Are you kidding? Chen Heng, the Xie family has long since abandoned your husband's family. That kid's nephew nearly drowned in this pond this morning, and no one helped. Maybe this family will soon go to see Father Xie who was beheaded. Don't regret it then."

At this moment, a few dog barking sounds suddenly rang out and quickly disappeared.

Li Dou's expression changed and he looked towards the alley behind him.

"What do you mean by that?" Shen Heng felt that there was something else behind his words.

Li Dou was somewhat reluctant to let Chen Heng go at this moment. If he couldn't get her, he would at least ruin her reputation. But his uncle was right. With his reputation, no one would believe that Chen Heng was willing to elope with him. In short, he would never let this woman go: "You'll know when the time comes."

Seeing Li Dou hurriedly leave, he didn't even bother to pester her anymore. Chen Heng thought of several countermeasures, but none of them worked.

Definitely weird.

On the way back, Chen Heng thought more and more that something was not right. What did he mean by "going to see the beheaded old man Xie soon"? This was too unlucky. Looking at the sun shining brightly, she thought for a moment and turned back to Ping'an Pond.

We arrived at the entrance of the alley where Li Dou disappeared. The alley was quite long and quiet, with only one meter between each door. Almost all the houses around it had a small door, which was basically closed.

Chen Heng didn't dare to go in. Although she had learned some self-defense skills in college, she was still a little thin. She couldn't save herself if she went out of this deserted alley, so she had to go back.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Xie Jian coming back.

"Where have you been?" Shen Heng asked casually.

"Let's go for a walk." Xie Jian didn't look at her.

"The pig offal my sister-in-law bought this morning is missing. I couldn't find it just now. I guess someone took it away."

"Even if it wasn't taken away by anyone, it would have been eaten by a dog."

"Then I'll go make lunch."

"Um."

Xie Jianmin seemed to be really cold towards her. Of course, he hadn't been that cold before. After all, they slept in the same room and their conversations were rambling. It was hard to tell. Just as she was about to go into the kitchen, little Xie Min's loud crying voice came over: "Mom, don't hit me, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong."

Xie Jian came to the door of Xia's room in a few steps: "Sister-in-law, I'm coming in." Without waiting for Xia to say anything, he pushed the door open and walked in.

Shen Heng followed behind.

Xia's room was bigger and brighter than Xie Jian's. It was originally the room of Xie's parents, while the room Xie Jian lived in now was previously occupied by Xie's eldest brother and his family of three.

Little Xie Min sat on the bed and cried breathlessly: "Mom, I just wanted to have a friend to play with me, so I went to play by the pond when they asked me to. I don't know who pushed me, wuwu, I was wrong, mom, from now on I will never go to play when they ask me to."

"They don't usually play with you, so why would they suddenly ask you to play with them? Are you brainless? Ah?" Xia's harsh voice was mixed with tears. He almost lost his son.

Min'er was pushed into the pond? Shen Heng was shocked.
