Chapter 54

"I'll tell you the details later. Now let's listen to what Sister Ding has to say!" Hao Ren explained to Xing Fei.

"OK."

Ding Eryu continued...

Yuan Hongxia's mother was a very kind person, always speaking gently and never arguing with the villagers. Although she was never seen to suffer any loss, no one gossiped about her.

Yuan Hongxia looked like her mother, delicate and fair-skinned, with a nice figure. Many young men in the village were attracted to her. When she was fifteen or sixteen, many matchmakers came to her house, seeking to introduce her to a husband, both from her own village and from other villages. The threshold was almost broken down by the matchmakers.

Later, when she was seventeen, she settled down with a young man from our village named Shao Bing. Shao Bing's parents were both martyrs, and he lived alone with his grandmother, and his life was quite good.

At that time, many people in our village were wondering why Hongxia's mother had arranged such a marriage for her. Hongxia's mother said that a son-in-law is half a son, as they are from the same village. The son-in-law can help her son in the future, and she can also help her daughter and son-in-law take care of the child.

Yuan Hongxia got married at the age of 18 and gave birth to a son at the age of 20. Shao Bing's grandmother was so happy that she set up five or six tables for the baby's full moon celebration!

Ding Eryu specifically reminded, "Of course, it's hard to say who this son belongs to now."

Bi Chunliu, Xing Fei, Hao Ren: "..."

Ding Eryu continued, "Yuan Hongxia... isn't a very quiet person. I heard that when she was sixteen, she went into the woods with someone..."

Hao Ren stopped writing and said, "..." He reminded, "Sister Ding, if there is no evidence and it's just speculation, don't say anything..."

"How come there is no evidence? How could it be false if my eldest sister saw it with her own eyes?!" Ding Eryu said bitterly, "My eldest sister married to the next village. My brother-in-law, bah! That bastard! After my sister got married, she not only had to take care of the old ones, but also the young ones. But that bastard was still fooling around with someone, and the person he was fooling around with was Yuan Hongxia! How old was she at that time, and she was still discussing marriage with someone?

My eldest sister has a soft temper and doesn't dare to make a scene. One time, my eldest sister argued with that bastard, and he even hit me! Oh, you have no idea how much my eldest sister has suffered over the years! Two years ago, that bastard got drunk and hit his head on the ground. As luck would have it, he became paralyzed. Serves him right... Even then, he still tortured my sister. Luckily, he died last year."

Ding Eryu gritted his teeth as he spoke, "My eldest sister thought she had finally gotten over it, but she didn't expect that son of a bitch, even though he was paralyzed, still had such a shady mind. I don't know how he met Yuan Hongxia, and he still committed a sin even after his death. He signed an IOU. On the day of the funeral, Yuan Hongxia brought the IOU and said that the bastard owed her family a hundred yuan! He even found a crappy witness. It seems that the damn witness was definitely related to Yuan Hongxia!"

Bah! Even if you sell it by the pound, it's not worth a hundred yuan, and you still dare to borrow a hundred yuan! Besides, where did Yuan Hongxia get this hundred yuan? Her husband must have had some expensive illness, and his illness alone almost killed Yuan Hongxia. How could she have a hundred yuan? My eldest sister borrowed from everyone in the village and emptied our family savings before she could pay back this hundred yuan.

At this point, Ding Eryu looked at Bi Chunliu with an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, sister, I didn't tell you the truth at first. I recognized Yuan Hongxia the moment she spoke. I was thinking of going to the village to talk to someone and see if I could discredit her. But then I heard that the two of them were planning to kill someone, and since you said your target was a police officer, I decided I had to let the police handle this matter."

Bi Chunliu nodded to show his understanding. This kind of thing would happen to anyone.

"Sister Eryu, how did Wang Datian get involved with Yuan Hongxia?"

"I really don't know. Wang Datian's wife is called Duan Wenli. She is very strict. Wang Datian rarely talks to us women! Wenli's family is from another village. Her father is the team leader of that village. Her second uncle is still working in the commune and is a leader. I don't know how Wang Datian fooled people. At that time, Wenli was determined to marry him.

You heard Wang Datian say that the child Yuan Hongxia gave birth to was his, so they must have been together for quite some time. But I haven't heard Wenli complain about Wang Datian having affairs, and she even said how much her Datian cares about her, but she definitely doesn't know. Wang Datian is really good at putting on airs!

"Comrades Qingtian, you must thoroughly investigate Wang Datian and Yuan Hongxia. There is definitely something fishy about them!" Ding Eryu said earnestly.

Hao Ren: "Sister Ding, don't worry, we already know about this matter and will definitely investigate it thoroughly."

Xing Fei nodded. Although he only heard half of it, since Chun Liu had brought people here, he would definitely ask for details.

Bi Chunliu looked at Ding Eryu, "Sister Eryu, shall we go back then? Xing Fei, I'll go see Sister Eryu off and come find you later. By the way, this is the March bubble that Sister Eryu and I picked on the mountain when we met. I brought quite a lot with me. You can share some with Brother Hao and sister-in-law!" She said the last two sentences to Xing Fei.

Xing Fei: "I'll give the things to Lao Hao right now, I'll go with you to deliver them!"

"No, no, Sister Chunliu, um... and this Public Security Comrade, I've been to the city before, you don't have to send me off, I'm going to take the bus!"

Ding Eryu had just heard Bi Chunliu send her off, and she hadn't said anything. She thought it was okay to say a few words to this girl, but when she heard the police were also going to betray her, she couldn't do it anymore. If she ran into someone she knew, they would think she had committed a crime. No, no...

Bi Chunliu stopped Xing Fei and said, "I'll go by myself. You can talk to Brother Hao about this case. I'll be back soon."

Xing Fei: "Oh, okay..."

Seeing Sister Ding scurry away like a mouse seeing a cat, Xing Fei touched his face. His smile wasn't scary at all, it was so kind... Then he glanced at Hao Ren, who was grinning at him. Tsk! It must be Hao Ren who got him into trouble!

"Go ask someone for some oil paper or something, and I'll give you some." Xing Fei hit him unhappily, angry!

Hao Ren: "Hey! You, if your wife doesn't want you to follow her, there's no point in beating me up."

"What are you talking about wife or not? Chunliu hasn't agreed to marry me yet." Xing Fei glanced at him.

Hao Ren laughed, "Oh, it's good to have a wife... I serve water to my wife, no, my wife also wipes my face and feet when I'm tired." It was a close call, he almost blurted out the fact that he served water to his wife.

Xing Fei: "..."

Virtue!

.

Bi Chunliu sent Ding Eryu to the bus and turned back to look for Xing Fei. As soon as he arrived at the gate, he saw Xing Fei leaning on his bicycle, his hands tapping the handlebars from time to time, and his feet pedaling back and forth. Bi Chunliu saw that the gatekeeper had glanced at Xing Fei several times, probably because he was worried that this prodigal son would break the bicycle chain again!

He ran two steps quickly and asked, "Why aren't you waiting for me in the office?"

Xing Fei raised his head and said, "I thought you would be back soon. Come on, let's go eat."

"No, I'm not eating anymore. I promised Weiguo and the others yesterday that I would cook for them today." Bi Chunliu jumped into the car and reached out to grab Xing Fei's waist. Xing Fei's breathing stagnated and he deliberately tensed his body.

"Okay then... I'll urge the people who are repairing the house. When it's done, how about you bring your brother and sister over for dinner?" Xing Fei had the thoughts of the current era. He thought that since he and Chun Liu had already settled down, he wanted the two families to meet formally.

Bi Chunliu responded with a "OK".

Xing Fei continued happily, "Can I call my dad and my sister over that day as well?"

Bi Chunliu was a little nervous. Was this considered a formal meeting with the parents?

In her previous life, she had never met Xing Fei's adoptive father because he had passed away by then. She had met Han Kemei during the Chinese New Year and other festivals. Later, after Xing Fei passed away, she heard that Han Kemei's daughter took her abroad, and the two of them never met again.

Seeing Bi Chunliu hesitate and didn't respond, Xing Fei changed the subject and said, "I haven't told my dad yet. Let them eat it another day. Let the younger brother and sister have fun."

"I'll go home and ask them. If they agree, how about we eat together?" Having said that, Bi Chunliu felt that Bi Weiguo and the others would definitely be willing to meet Xing Fei's family.

"OK!"

.

Xing Fei sent Bi Chunliu home and rode his bike for a walk around the yard. His father was there, watching three workers transporting things.

"dad!"

Han Zhong: "Are you back? Have you discussed this with Comrade Xiao Bi? When will we have dinner?"

Xing Fei: "...I just got home, why do you have so many questions?! Let's talk in a few days. Oh, by the way, these are the March bubbles that Chunliu picked in the mountains today. She asked me to bring them back for you. Don't you like eating these? Come on and eat them!"

Han Zhong glared at him, "It's useless! I decided on it after just two meetings with Xiao Bei's mom! You can't even invite me to dinner."

Xing Fei rinsed the March bubble tea with water, grabbed a handful and stuffed it into Han Zhong's mouth. He didn't respond, "Dad, eat it quickly! If you don't eat it, my little sister will eat it all for you when she sees you tonight."

Han Zhong: “…”

Bi Chunliu brought a lot for Xing Fei. Xing Fei was afraid that the old man would eat too much and feel uncomfortable later, so he grabbed a handful and shared it with the three workers who were moving things.

"Brother, I'll give you some more money. Can you find another person to help build it?" Xing Fei wanted to finish it quickly.

Han Zhong snorted, "What's the point of covering yourself tightly? The girl hasn't agreed to marry you yet."

The leading worker thanked Xing Fei and said, "It will take at least five days at most, and another seven or eight days for the house to dry completely. Now that the weather is good, it will be quick."

Xing Fei thought about the days, seven or eight days. Today he heard Hao Ren talk about the case that Chun Liu and Sister Ding heard. If everything goes well, he can let Chun Liu bring his younger brothers and sisters to dinner in ten days!

"Well, find someone else!" Xing Fei generously took out money from his pocket, "When you finish building it, I'll give you one dollar each as a thank you fee!"

"Okay! Comrade, don't worry, we will definitely build it well for you!" Before the leader said anything, the other two workers spoke up. Of course they wanted the extra money, and this family was a policeman. They were very careful, so who could fool the police?

.

The junior high school where Bi Weiguo and other two attended.

As soon as the school bell rang, the teacher who was giving a lecture said to the students, "get out of class is over," and went back to the office.

Liu He stuffed all the books and pens on the table into his schoolbag, patted Bi Qiuguo on the shoulder and asked, "Bi Qiuguo, my brother told me to wait for him today because he has something important to tell me. Did your second brother tell you?"

"What big deal could happen to your brother?" Bi Qiuguo didn't believe it. Her eldest sister was off duty today, and the three of them wanted to go home and eat something delicious. They didn't have time to listen to Liu Jiang talk about big or small things. Boys are just boring!
