The world is a bitter sea, and people struggle within it.
Is genuine sincerity always belittled? Are kindness and gentleness always bullied? Are ugly commoners always mocked? Is unparalleled ...
Chapter 123 Phoenix Man Husband vs. Tragic Original Wife (6)
"When the child wakes up, the truth will be clear. You are still screaming here, are you still acting like a mother-in-law?" For the first time, Grandpa Qi picked up his dignity as a man, but no one looked at him sideways.
"That's right. When the child wakes up, we will know who the murderer is." Aunt Wu looked at Qi Jiacheng with a steady look, and anyone with a discerning eye knew who she was bullying.
"Then let's go in and ask now." Qi Jiacheng gathered his strength and slammed into the door.
The wooden door, which was expected to fall down, trembled a few times but was not hurt at all.
"You are probably going to go in and kill people to silence them now." Aunt Wu said sharply, pulling him, "We have been waiting here for more than an hour. Don't mind waiting a little longer. Let the child have a good rest before he can tell the truth."
"Auntie, you are targeting my child." Grandma Qi put her hands on her waist and looked very long.
Granny Wen heard the sound of knocking on the door, but she didn't care at all. Instead, she grabbed Wu Lian's hand and asked, "Did you kill the person?"
"I swear to God, if I killed the person, I will definitely die a miserable death." Wu Lian's eyes were red with anger, "I'm educated, how could I do such a thing."
Although he had long expected that someone would wrongly accuse him, he was still very angry when he was really faced with injustice.
"Since it wasn't you who killed him, don't worry about it. There's still half an hour before the person wakes up. When the time comes, you will be innocent." Granny Wen patted the back of his hand twice to comfort him.
This child, his ears were always pointed, paying attention to the slightest movement outside the door, and the whole person was very nervous. He was so dedicated, on the one hand for his conscience, and on the other hand, why not to prove his innocence.
Wu Lian understood Granny's painstaking efforts, took a deep breath, and relaxed.
And Shi Yi on the bed was actually awake the whole time, but now she was covered in scars, it was not a good time for her to open her eyes.
To deal with Qi Jiacheng, this scum, she could only give him a fatal blow. If she gave him a chance to turn over, it would be her fault.
Sure enough, the men and women in the village who were sent out to look for Chen Jiao's body returned empty-handed.
They did not find the body on any high ground in the lotus field.
When the village chief announced this fact in front of everyone, Qi Jiacheng was the first to jump out and point at Wu Lian's nose, "You lied."
Wu Lian thought of the body he saw with his own eyes, and said with certainty: "I am absolutely not lying. Chen Jiao's body is lying on that high ground."
"It was you who killed my wife. You still want to quibble now." As he said this, Qi Jiacheng began to fight with him.
The village chief hurriedly asked someone to stop the two people and stomped his feet: "Why are you yelling now? If Chen Jiao's body is really on the high ground of the lotus field, then the heavy rain tonight will definitely wash her out. We can send someone to salvage it tomorrow."
Qi Jiacheng heard that there would be a heavy rain tonight, and thought that Chen Jiao's body, which he had pressed under the water with a stone, might float up, and he panicked. He became more determined to kill Zhao Shiyi.
As long as Zhao Shiyi died, what else could the two dead bodies say?
Aunt Wu paid attention to his expression and guessed that he had no good idea. Even if it was not for Zhao Shiyi, she had to keep a close eye on him in order to clear the suspicion on her son.
It was getting dark, and they knew it would rain heavily at night. Even though they knew there was a murder, the villagers still wanted to rush home. They had to collect the sorghum rice that was drying in the sun.
The village chief thought that everyone was really tired from working in the fields on weekdays, so he simply asked everyone to go back, and only he, the Zhao family, the Qi family, and the Wu family stayed here to guard.
He thought that they were all people who were directly related to this matter, and he was here to take charge, so nothing would happen if he guarded for a night.
Because Granny Wen's house was too small to accommodate so many people, the village chief arranged for Wu Lian to sleep on the floor at Granny Wen's place, and everyone else slept in tents.
The village chief directed everyone to work together to set up a few tents on a slightly higher ground. As soon as they entered the tent, the raindrops fell. People from each family squeezed into their own tents and went to sleep, planning to wait until dawn.
Qi Jiacheng and his parents squeezed into a tent, with only one idea in his mind: to kill Zhao Shiyi and frame Wu Lian.
But with so many people guarding here, it was inconvenient for him to move, so what should he do?
He waited until midnight, until all the tents were silent, until his parents fell asleep.
The fierce rainstorm was still terrifying in the middle of the night, and it was also frightening when it hit the tent.
Qi Jiacheng put on his shoes and was about to go out when he was grabbed by a hand in the dark.
He turned around suddenly, saw the face clearly, and exclaimed: "Mom."
"During the day, I still didn't believe it a little bit, but now it seems..." Grandma Qi sighed, "your father and I spoiled you too much, thinking that you can achieve great things after going to college."
"Mom..." Qi Jiacheng's tone was a little helpless.
"I'll do the work. It has nothing to do with you." Grandma Qi closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I hope you can reform after this incident and support the Qi family."
She was determined to silence him and take the blame.
"Mom..." Qi Jiacheng's eyes were filled with tears. "I will never let you down."
"Be good to your father in the future." Grandma Qi let go of his hand and wiped her face. "When I was young, I did everything I could to plot against him in order to get married. I am even more sorry for giving birth to a useless person like you. His second half of his life depends on you."
"Mom, I will definitely be good to my father and make our Qi family proud." In the dark, Qi Jiacheng almost patted his chest and swore.
Now that his mother is willing to go out and silence Zhao Shiyi and is willing to take on everything for him, he can get away from this matter.
After that, he will still live in this village upright without having to accept strange eyes.
"Go to sleep." Granny Qi put on her shoes and looked back at him, "Nothing has anything to do with you."
"Mom..." Qi Jiacheng choked in his throat and slapped himself twice, "I was nothing before."
Granny Qi lifted a corner of the tent and walked straight to Crazy Wen's house.
She remembered clearly that the walls of this crazy Wen's house were made of bamboo fences mixed with yellow mud. There was a dog hole at the back door, which could be directly dug open.
In the house, Wu Lian, who had worked hard all day, had fallen asleep on the floor. Granny Wen, who was lying next to Shi Yi, was tossing and turning because of something on her mind. When she heard the footsteps at the back door, she immediately became alert.
This alertness had helped her avoid many thieves and people who took advantage of the opportunity.
"Woof woof... woof woof..." The dog's low barking stopped abruptly.
