Chapter 183 Tang Wan Gets the Truth Out of Cao Huan

After that night, Wang Yuqing and Ji Xuening's relationship developed rapidly after they had intimate physical contact, becoming inseparable and inseparable.

For several days in a row, they were inseparable at night and affectionate during the day.

They even took away the beds on the floor.

Wang Yuqing had witnessed Ji Xuening's bravery and persistence. She thought she could handle it, but she was tormented to tears for several nights in a row.

Crucially, the man's strong physique, rugged face, and intense male hormones constantly tempted her to become obsessed with him.

It's a bittersweet experience.

After each time they finished, she would sleep in Ji Xuening's spacious arms, thinking that even if his original wife from his previous life appeared, she would not let go.

She would occasionally tease Ji Xuening in a sweet and affectionate way, saying things like, "I want to spend nights with you that are full of ups and downs, and I want to measure your waist with my legs."

Although Ji Xuening was clearly foolish, he understood what she meant, so he rolled over and continued to pin her down, bullying her mercilessly.

Even the three children noticed that their relationship was getting better and better, and they could hardly see the two of them holding hands anymore. Now, let alone holding hands, Ji Xuening would even reach out and pinch her cheeks.

Ji Daming covered Ji Meimei's eyes to prevent her from seeing.

Ji Xiaoming even whispered, "Are we going to have a younger brother or sister soon?"

After saying that, he happily went to tinker with the light bulb, repeatedly taking it apart and putting it back together.

Everyone assumed that Wang Yuqing hadn't left the house these past few days because the food processing team had been disbanded, and not only had her teammates gone to Hua Gui's place, but even her best friend had turned against her. So, they thought she was just feeling down and depressed at home...

Actually, she was just too badly bullied at night, her whole body ached, and she was too lazy to go out.

Yuan Fang, Liu Li, and Shi Feng were all very smug. Sometimes they would deliberately pass by the Ji family's door and loudly boast, "We made quite a bit of money today too."

Anyway, say whatever makes you feel better.

Many people started gossiping about Wang Yuqing behind her back, laughing at her current miserable state.

Lei Yongxia and Chen E even came to visit Wang Yuqing at home, hoping to comfort her and prevent her from getting sick from being cooped up at home.

Little did anyone know, Wang Yuqing was at home drinking honey water and eating peach blossom pastries, with sliced ​​apples beside her.

These apples were a gift from the neighboring commune when Ji Xuening went to help the commune's pig farm treat sick pigs. They gave him a total of eight apples.

Apples were a hot commodity in those days, and many people had never even tasted them.

Wang Yuqing not only ate and drank well, but also enjoyed a happy mood, with a rosy complexion and radiant skin. Her skin even improved, making her more beautiful and adding a touch of charm.

Lei Yongxia and Chen E were dumbfounded, as they were still carrying good things to their door.

When the two of them went back, they took their belongings with them, and each of them was holding a big, round, red apple.

They bragged about it all the way back.

In particular, Chen E would tell everyone she met, "Who said that Yuqing is in a bad mood or unhappy at home? She's living a comfortable life at home, doesn't have to work, eats and drinks well, and lives a very comfortable life."

Lei Yongxia said, "Most importantly, she's getting prettier and prettier. Tsk tsk, her skin is as smooth as tofu."

Tang Wan and Cao Huan had long since become best friends who could talk about anything.

This puzzled many people, and of course, it also made Wang Yuqing even more of a laughingstock.

The project team seems to have made no progress yet, and has not found out who the poisoner was. They are planning to drop the case.

Mao Chun didn't dare to cause trouble at Wang Yuqing's house, so he led people to the non-staple food team of the brigade headquarters to cause trouble every day, which made the old secretary and He Guangliang very angry.

He Guangliang's words were full of blame for Wang Yuqing, feeling that Wang Yuqing was the one who caused the whole thing, and he even sent Mao Chun to Wang Yuqing's house to demand compensation.

Anyway, he didn't spend a single penny to compensate.

He hadn't been very supportive of Wang Yuqing's non-staple food team before, but ever since his wife started her own team and became its captain, he's been extremely supportive.

They even helped the food processing team rebuild their kitchen.

He had initially treated Yang Hui quite well, but ever since Yang Hui discovered the large amount of grain under the woodshed, he began to treat Yang Hui coldly and even tried to get Yang Hui to cooperate with him, attempting to make Yang Hui the brigade's storekeeper.

Yang Hui refused.

He Guangliang angrily cursed him: "You're simply ungrateful!"

Today is the day of Cao Hao's burial. Mao Chun deliberately passed by the food processing team, holding the portrait of the deceased, pushing the body, scattering joss paper, holding a wreath, and a group of people wailing and crying at the entrance of the food processing team.

The whole scene looked tragic and chilling.

Tang Wan and Cao Huan worked while listening to the sounds outside. Every now and then, a shrill cry would come from outside, making Cao Huan tremble all over in fright.

She felt a little guilty.

Since Cao Hao's death, she has lived in fear every day, especially at night, when she always dreams that Cao Hao is coming to take her life.

To her surprise, Tang Wan next to her reacted even more strongly, actually smashing the jade pendant, and not just one.

Cao Huan asked, "Tang Wan, what's wrong with you? Ever since the Cao family came, you've seemed off. You're clumsy in everything you do, and your face is so pale."

Tang Wan accidentally cut her finger again. She glanced fearfully at the door before quickly looking away. "I...I'm fine. It's just that the Cao family is crying outside. It sounds...it's really scary."

Cao Huan noticed all of Tang Wan's odd behavior and nodded, "Yes, it's quite frightening."

She didn't understand. She should be the one who was most afraid, so why did Tang Wan seem even more afraid than her?

Mao Chun and his men cried until nightfall at the entrance of the food processing team's courtyard before finally carrying Cao Hao away for burial.

Around 6:30.

Mao Chun scattered a lot of paper money at the entrance of the non-staple food team. The thick layer of paper money almost covered the entire entrance, and several pieces even drifted into the yard.

Tang Wan had just come out of the kitchen when she deliberately picked up a piece of paper money and then screamed.

Cao Huan rushed forward, also startled, asking, "What happened? What happened?"

Tang Wan quickly threw away the paper money in her hand, stepped back in front of Cao Huan, and tightly took her arm: "I...I find it creepy, I'm scared..."

Cao Huan was also frightened by her and hurriedly said, "It's time to get off work, go home quickly."

On the way home.

Tang Wan suddenly burst into tears, her voice trembling as she asked, "Cao Huan, do you think... will Cao Hao come looking for us in the middle of the night...?"

These words startled Cao Huan so much that she almost jumped up, her face filled with terror: "Why...why are you looking for us? Tang Wan, don't scare me."

Tang Wan clung to Cao Huan's arm, continuing to sob.

Cao Huan asked in confusion, "Why are you crying?"

Tang Wan suddenly stopped, squatted down, buried her face in her hands, and burst into tears, saying between sobs, "I'm scared... I always feel like Cao Hao is following us, I feel like he's coming to take revenge."

Cao Huan felt a chill run down her spine. She turned around and glanced back, her tone reproachful: "Tang Wan, what nonsense are you spouting? And what revenge is he talking about? Aren't we against superstition now? There are no ghosts in this world..."

She said guiltily, "We...we didn't kill him, what are we afraid of? Even if he comes back for revenge, he won't be looking for us, he'll be looking for..."

"They're looking for me."

Tang Wan suddenly stood up, tightly grasping Cao Huan's hands. Her pale face was streaked with tears. She cautiously glanced around and stammered, "Cao Huan... actually... actually, there's something I want to tell you, something I've been holding back for a long time..."

Cao Huan asked, "What is it?"

Tang Wan pursed her lips and whispered, "It's about Cao Hao's death..."
