"It wasn't me, it was murder..."
Shen Hongmei wanted to scream, but another person quickly pulled off a pillowcase and stuffed it into her mouth, while pressing her hands behind her back.
“Wu…wuwu…”
Shen Hongmei didn't expect that this group of people actually wanted to put all the blame for the murder on her, so she cried and pushed Zhao Pingan hard.
"Drag him to that room and tie him up tightly!" Zhao Yonggang waved at the people who were holding Shen Hongmei.
After dragging Shen Hongmei away, he ordered a young man to go to the town to call the police.
After arranging everything, he squatted in front of the distraught Zhao Ping'an and patted him.
Zhao Ping'an turned his head and looked at Zhao Yonggang with unfocused eyes.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Yonggang didn't know how to comfort him, so he just whispered to him, "When the police come, you can put the blame on your stepmother. Do you hear me?"
"Everyone will testify for you then that she was the one who followed your father back first."
"You came back later. When you came back, you saw that your father was dead, so you strangled your stepmother. Did you hear me?"
In fact, as soon as he saw the look in Shen Hongmei's eyes when she looked at Zhao Ping'an, he knew that the relationship between the two was a little unusual.
But Zhao Yonggang didn't want to delve into what was going on between Shen Hongmei and Zhao Ping'an!
But as a member of the Zhao family, he has to side with Zhao Ping'an.
Then the matter can only be blamed on Shen Hongmei.
Hearing this, Zhao Ping'an's eyes rolled.
Zhao Ping'an looked at Zhao Yonggang, swallowed his saliva, and said in a low voice in a daze: "She is pregnant, the child... the child... my..."
Zhao Yonggang was stunned for a moment, then he raised his hand to cover Zhao Ping'an's mouth, and then looked around.
Seeing that everyone's attention was on Zhao Shengli and Zhao Manfen, he felt relieved.
"Don't mention this matter again. Just keep it to yourself."
Then he looked at Zhao Ping'an for a long while, then leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear.
"......" Zhao Ping'an looked at him with wide eyes in horror.
"I know this is difficult to do, but we can't keep the baby in her belly. If we keep it, it will be a disaster, and you will die with it."
"I...I...I can't, I can't..." Zhao Ping'an waved his hands in panic.
He smothered his own father to death, mostly to save the baby in Shen Hongmei's belly.
Now the village chief actually asked him to abort the child with his own hands?
Wouldn't that mean he killed his father in vain?
Seeing Zhao Ping'an's indecisiveness, Zhao Yonggang felt a little disappointed.
The idea has been given to him.
As for whether to take action or not, it depends on Zhao Ping'an himself.
If he can't bear to be ruthless, and ends up ruined because of this child, he can't blame anyone else.
At this time, Zhao Shengli suddenly broke free from the pull of others, crawled to Zhao Ping'an, and asked him crying: "How did Dad die? Did Shen Hongmei kill him? Did it, brother?"
Looking at his heartbroken brother, Zhao Ping'an stroked his face with trembling hands: "I'm sorry, it's me who's sorry for you all!"
Then Zhao Ping'an hugged Zhao Shengli in his arms and burst into tears.
Such a good family was destroyed by him! ! !
Zhao Shengli thought his elder brother felt guilty for not saving his father, so he stretched out his hands and hugged Zhao Ping'an's waist and cried: "Kill Shen Hongmei, let her pay for Dad's life, pay for Dad's life~~~"
Zhao Manfen also rushed over.
The three brothers and sisters hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Someone came to persuade them: "Ping An, you are the eldest brother, you have to be strong at this time, otherwise how will your brothers and sisters survive if they are left alone?"
"Yes, yes, you are the boss, it's time to take charge!"
Others all talked at once and tried to persuade the Zhao brothers and sisters.
Zhao Manfen cried so hard that her face was covered with snot and tears. She looked up at Zhao Ping'an and said, "Brother, I'm scared. I'm scared. Without my father, how are we going to live in the future?"
The little Junzi who called for help also leaned against the door frame and cried: "Chen Hongmei is bad, she is a bad person, she also wanted to smother me to death, beat her to death, let the police beat her to death."
Zhao Yonggang quickly straightened Xiao Junzi's shoulders and asked him sternly, "What did you just say? Did Shen Hongmei want to smother you to death?"
Xiao Junzi cried and sniffled: "She wouldn't let me run and even covered my mouth with her hand. If my brother hadn't pushed her aside, I wouldn't have been able to breathe."
When the other people from Zhaojiawan in the room heard this, they all became furious.
"What a vicious woman! Not only did she kill the man, she even spared the children. She must be shot."
"Yes, yes, let the police shoot her. Keeping a woman like this will only bring disaster."
"Even a child can do this, how dare she do it?"
You said one thing, he said another, scolding Shen Hongmei all over.
Zhao Yonggang stood up and shouted at Zhao Ping'an: "Ping'an, this vicious woman deserves to die. She must be punished. You can't be soft-hearted anymore."
Zhao Manfen looked at the village chief and then at her brother.
She knew that in daily life, her brother sympathized with Shen Hongmei and took better care of her in every way.
She thought the village chief also knew that her brother was soft-hearted, so he advised him like this.
"Brother, that woman took mother's place and now killed father. She even wants to attack Xiaojun. If you still feel pity for her, then you are not my brother. I will no longer recognize you."
Zhao Shengli cried so hard that his head was foggy. He had no idea why the village chief and his sister were forcing his brother, but his mouth spoke faster than his brain: "Brother, why are you siding with Shen Hongmei?"
This question made Zhao Ping'an almost feel ashamed.
His face flushed and he answered anxiously: "I didn't, I didn't side with her, you and I are a family."
Zhao Ping'an hugged Zhao Shengli into his arms again.
Only then did he realize that what he had to protect was not only the baby in Shen Hongmei's belly, but also his three younger brothers and sisters.
Both the father and mother are gone in this family.
If something happens to him again, how will the three children survive?
He couldn't be so selfish as to abandon his brothers and sisters, with whom he had lived for many years, for the sake of a child that went against ethics!
After Zhao Ping'an figured it out, he wiped the tears from his face with his rough big hands.
Then he helped Zhao Shengli stand up.
He looked at Zhao Yonggang and choked up, "Uncle, please help me lift my father to the kang. The ground is cold, and I can't let my father lie on it!"
Afterwards, he consoled his younger brother and sister with a few words, and while the others were carrying Zhao Changgui, Zhao Ping'an came to the room where Shen Hongmei was alone.
