When Old Man Shen saw that she looked like a ghost with her hair disheveled, he wanted to scold her, but he didn't know what he thought of, and for the first time in his life he said something comforting.
"Your sister-in-law didn't hit you on purpose. She was just too anxious. Don't take it personally."
Li Xiang looked up timidly, with a hint of flattery in her eyes.
When has my father-in-law ever said anything nice to me so gently?
This is truly the first time in history.
She was about to smile, but suddenly she remembered that her man had been captured and she didn't know whether he would live or die in the future, so the corner of her mouth fell again.
She choked up and asked Old Man Shen: "Dad, will Xia Shu...will he be sentenced to death?"
If Shen Xiashu is really sentenced to death, how can she live in the Shen family?
I'm afraid that by that time, my father-in-law and sister-in-law will definitely kick her out of the house!
When she thought that she might be homeless in the future, Li Xiang's whole body slowly collapsed to the ground along the wall, and she sat on the ground and started to cry.
Old Man Shen was very upset, but he still patiently comforted her: "It will be fine, don't worry about it."
Li Xiang looked at him with tears in her eyes. She didn't know whether her father-in-law was comforting her or was serious.
In her opinion, killing someone means paying with one's life, which is a matter of course.
What’s more, the son killed his own mother.
Even if her man doesn't have to die, he will definitely go to jail.
Even if I get out in the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold my head up in the village for the rest of my life.
Thinking of the miserable life in the future, Li Xiang became completely discouraged and sat on the ground crying loudly.
Old man Shen sat on the kang, silently letting Li Xiang cry, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Thinking of what the second brother said to him before he left, he was wondering whether he should separate the three brothers.
In rural areas, when a family is divided, the better off is that each son will have a house with his or her own yard.
Those of lower status shared a yard but only had separate houses.
If the Shen family wants to split up, the only option is the second one.
In fact, Old Man Shen didn't want to split up the family at all.
But for the future of the two older grandsons, this family will have to be divided up when the time comes.
But Old Man Shen was wondering, could he announce the separation to the outside world, but actually still live together behind closed doors?
That night, almost no one in the Shen family could sleep!
Early the next morning, Wang Huilian took her two sons and hurried to Changgui's house.
Wang Huilian only came to Zhao Changgui's house twice.
At this time, three people were standing at the gate of the yard, and they called out nervously towards the inside.
But after waiting for a long time, only Zhao Changgui's youngest son came out with two snot hanging from his nose.
The child didn't remember much, so he looked at Wang Huilian and the other two and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Wang Huilian remembered that the boy's name seemed to be Xiao Junzi, so she asked him anxiously, "Xiao Junzi, where are your father and mother?"
Xiao Junzi sniffed his big nose and said, "My father and his friends have gone to work in the fields, and my mother is dead."
"What?" Wang Huilian's heart trembled violently, and she staggered and was about to sit on the ground. Fortunately, Shen Limin behind her supported her and she did not fall.
"When did Hongmei die? How come I didn't know?" Wang Huilian came to her senses, took two steps forward, grabbed Xiao Junzi's shoulders and shook him violently.
Little Junzi was frightened by the ferocious expression on Wang Huilian's face and was about to cry: "Who is Hongmei? My mother's name is not Hongmei!"
Wang Huilian was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that the mother that the kid Yazi was talking about was the short-lived woman before Hongmei got married.
She pushed Xiao Junzi hard and scolded him angrily: "You stupid kid, why are you talking nonsense? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up!"
Xiao Junzi was pushed to the ground by Wang Huilian. His butt hurt and he immediately burst into tears.
Wang Huilian looked out the door in panic, fearing that others would hear her and gossip about her bullying the child left behind.
I could only hold my temper and pick him up, coaxing and threatening him: "Good boy, stop crying. If you cry again, I will throw you into the mountains to feed the wolves."
Just as she finished her words, a small slap landed on Wang Huilian's left cheek with a "slap".
While she was distracted, Xiao Junzi turned around, ran from her arms to the door of the house, and made a face at the three of them.
"Humph, bad guys, I'll ask my dad to come back and beat you to death."
After saying that, he turned around and closed the door, and at the same time the sound of the door being locked was heard from inside.
Wang Huilian covered her face and angrily stepped forward to catch the brat.
How dare a little bastard who wasn't even as tall as her waist slap her?
This is really outrageous. When I catch him, I will beat his ass into pieces.
She walked forward and pushed the door hard, but it didn't open. She was so angry that she kicked it twice.
Then, through the crack in the door, he cursed at the little soldier inside: "You bastard, you have a mother who gave birth to you but didn't teach you. When your father comes back, I will sue you severely."
Little Junzi was so scared when he thought of his father's violent temper that he quickly hid in the house.
No matter how Wang Huilian knocked on the door outside, he ignored her.
Wang Huilian had no choice but to wait in Zhao Changgui's yard with her two sons.
She guessed that the Zhao family must have gone to work.
She didn't know where the land of Zhaojiawan was, so she could only wait at home.
They waited until noon when work ended before Zhao Changgui and several members of his family returned from the fields.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw his mother-in-law and two uncles walking around in the yard.
Zhao Changgui frowned: "Why are you here?"
There are three people from the Shen family. Does that mean Dongliang Village doesn’t have to work?
Wang Huilian ran to Zhao Changgui crying with joy, slightly bent over, with a pleading look on her face.
"Changgui, mother came to see you today for something urgent, a very urgent matter!"
Zhao Changgui narrowed his eyes and took a step back, then turned around to look at Shen Hongmei, who was lowering her head like a wooden man, and smiled.
Last time he extorted several dollars from the Shen family!!!
At that time, the Shen family wanted to eat him alive, but now they actually came to him for begging. It goes without saying that this must be an extremely urgent matter.
Since that was the case, Zhao Changgui was no longer anxious.
He walked past Wang Huilian without even saying hello and went straight into the house.
Faced with Zhao Changgui's blatant disregard, Wang Huilian's face looked very unhappy, but now she needed help from others, so she could only endure it.
He just held Shen Hongmei from behind Zhao Changgui.
"Hongmei, your grandma is dead. They say you, Erbai, killed her. She was taken away by the police, and your dad was also arrested because of it."
"Does Changgui know anyone in the Public Security Bureau? You must ask him to save your father!"
The dull Shen Hongmei finally raised her head and looked at Wang Huilian blankly.
Wang Huilian was worried about Shen Chunshu and didn't notice her abnormality at all. She kept urging her daughter to ask Zhao Changgui for help.
It was Zhao Ping'an who called the three of them into the house: "If you have anything to say, come inside and talk!"
