Under the bright moonlight.

The strong, proud man quickly rushed towards the reeds.

Soon, the sounds of fighting came from the reeds.

Shen Chuntao calmly put on her clothes and walked over with a composed expression.

“It’s you.”

"You adulterous couple, you worthless scum."

"How dare you humiliate yourselves under my nose? I won't let you get away with this."

Shen Chuntao sighed and said softly, "He can't be kept alive, or neither of us will have a good ending."

Xiao Hu stared wide-eyed as if he didn't recognize the woman in front of him.

As soon as Shen Chuntao finished speaking, the proud and burly man subconsciously tightened his grip on Xiao Hu's neck.

"Go back first, and pretend you didn't come out tonight. I'll handle the rest."

"Okay, be careful, you're all I have now."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

In the hazy moonlight, Shen Chuntao, who had just turned her head, lost all her worry and affection, leaving only indifference on her face.

Liu Dazhu and Party Secretary Luo Pingwei haven't been sleeping well these past few days.

The day before yesterday, Shen Chuntao came to visit with a worried look on her face, saying that she hadn't seen Xiao Hu for a whole day.

I can't find anyone anywhere.

Thinking about all the things that had happened to the Xiao family recently, Liu Dazhu and Luo Pingwei immediately went to the town to report it to the police.

The police had been conducting door-to-door investigations in the village for the past two days, and finally found the swollen tiger in the reeds by the river this afternoon.

Shen Chuntao only managed to let out one scream before fainting.

Song Zaizhao and his wife, one holding their unconscious sister-in-law and the other supporting the unsteady Xiao Quangui, were filled with grief.

After a forensic examination and photographic examination, Xiao Hu was determined to have been murdered.

Furthermore, it was deduced that the time of death was midnight three days prior.

No one knows why he came to the reed marshes in the middle of the night.

The body was severely bloated from being soaked, making it impossible to collect much evidence.

In addition, the villagers who discovered the body had severely damaged the crime scene.

For a time, the entire case stalled, with no progress whatsoever.

The entire Gaotangzhuang village was filled with fear and panic. Everyone went to work in groups, not daring to be alone.

Many members even secretly burned paper money at night behind everyone's backs.

It is suspected that Yan Yan harbored too much resentment back then and left unwillingly.

That's why the Xiao family has been plagued by murders one after another.

The grieving Song Zaizhao always felt that all of this was inextricably linked to her sister-in-law, Shen Chuntao.

But after the police took her back for investigation, they released her.

Because the evidence currently available proves that the murderer could not possibly be a weak woman.

After Song Zaizhao met with Shen Chuntao and she was released, he was on tenterhooks all day.

If she had known, she wouldn't have said those ambiguous things to the police.

They kept a close watch on their second son, Xiao Jiaxuan, as if he were their own eyes, fearing that something might happen to him if they weren't careful.

She couldn't bear to live like this for even a day longer, and the idea of ​​separating from the family as soon as possible had taken root in her mind.

After dinner, Song Zaizhao pulled Xiao Long into the room, and the two had a fierce argument.

Soon, Xiao Long entered Xiao Quangui's house with bloodstains all over his face.

Xiao Sanying, who was in charge of the household, just passed away, and now the second son is gone too. The only ones who can still manage the household are the eldest son's family.

Xiao Quangui refused to allow Xiao Long's family to separate, no matter what he said.

There's also Xiao Jian, who hasn't gotten married yet.

In the future, Xiao Jian and Xiao Juxiang will have to rely on the eldest brother's help with their marriages.

Besides, the person he values ​​most in his life is his eldest brother, so if the family were to split up, he would definitely follow his eldest brother.

That doesn't make sense to kick out unmarried sons and daughters, does it?

If they really did that, not only would Xiao Quan Gui be discredited, but the backbone of Xiao Long and his wife would also be broken.

Listening to Xiao Long's stammering words.

After making several turns, Xiao Quangui seemed to understand what Xiao Long and his wife were thinking.

To be honest, he's been feeling uneasy lately, afraid that he might be the next one to get into trouble.

Looking back now, the reason why the Xiao family had all these troubles started with the death of that short-lived Yan Yan.

Before this old woman died, she would curse Shen Chuntao as a jinx all the time.

Could it be that she was right?

He had heard before that some people with unlucky birth charts were said to bring misfortune to their parents, children, and close relatives.

Looking back now, it seems like everything makes sense in relation to Shen Chuntao.

Xiao Quangui tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep well.

The next day, he went out as soon as he got up, and soon invited the brigade leader, the secretary, and several elders of the Xiao family to his home.

Shen Chuntao looked at the table full of people sitting in the living room, her fingers happily rubbing the piece of brown sugar in her pocket.

Sure enough, Xiao Quangui then recounted the misfortunes that befell the Xiao family, which garnered everyone's sympathy.

Then she added that Xiao Hu is gone now, and Shen Chuntao is still young and has not left behind a child.

The Xiao family didn't want to delay her any longer, so they wanted to let her go back. They said she could look for someone else later, whatever she wanted to do, it was up to her.

Everyone understood immediately upon hearing this, and at the same time, they inwardly complained about how ugly the Xiao family was doing things.

Xiao Hu has only been gone for a few days, and they're already impatiently kicking his wife out of the house.

The captain and his men fell silent, but since they were already involved in this mess, they could only bite the bullet and ask Shen Chuntao for her opinion.

Shen Chuntao sobbed, saying she was heartbroken that Xiao Hu was gone, and the Xiao family couldn't tolerate her anymore.

Xiao Quangui definitely couldn't admit it. He only said that firstly, she was young and it wouldn't be good to delay her family, and secondly, now that Xiao Hu was gone, she was living with her bachelor father-in-law and brother-in-law. It was fine for a short time, but he was afraid people would gossip if it went on for too long.
