At the end of this farce, the Shen family destroyed the Zhao family and completely ruined Zhao Ping'an's reputation.
After the Shen family left, Zhao Ping'an sat in the room with his head down, still silent.
Zhao Manfen looked at the mess in the room and cried with his hands covering his mouth.
Little Junzi was frightened and clung to the door frame, looking at his brothers and sisters cautiously.
Only Zhao Shengli stood in front of Zhao Ping'an, and asked with red eyes: "Is what the Shen family said true? Are you involved with that Shen Hongmei?"
"Did you two kill Dad together? Speak up."
Zhao Shengli shouted out the last three words with almost all his strength.
What happened today was like a bolt from the blue that hit him on the head.
He simply couldn't believe that his own brother was having an affair with that bitch Shen Hongmei.
At the beginning, the four of them agreed that they would never give Chen Hongmei a good face. How come only half a year has passed, and his brother can actually sleep with that woman?
Zhao Ping'an could deal with the people in the village with silence, but he didn't want to lose his dignity as the eldest brother in front of his younger brothers and sisters.
He looked up at his angry brother and said in a hoarse voice, "That's not true. I...I just felt sorry for her, so I secretly helped her a little more."
“Don’t believe what the Shen family said. They framed me because Shen Hongmei was going to die.”
With every word he said, Zhao Ping'an's face turned redder.
At this moment, he really hated himself so much.
Why couldn't he control his lower body in the first place? Why did he cross the line with Chen Hongmei when he could have done anything else?
Zhao Shengli pursed his lips and looked at Zhao Ping'an pleadingly, and asked cautiously: "Brother, is what you said true? Please don't lie to me, okay?"
Seeing his brother's frightened eyes, Zhao Ping'an finally couldn't help crying: "I didn't lie to you, I didn't lie to you."
Although he said he was not lying, Zhao Ping'an covered his face with his hands and started crying.
His crying caused the other three people to start crying as well.
Zhao Shengli didn’t know whether he believed what Zhao Ping’an said or not, but his crying was the loudest among the four.
Wang Huilian, who had smashed things at Zhao's house, fell ill after returning home, and had a high fever all over her body.
Chen Chunshu shamelessly bought some medicinal herbs on credit from Liu Yushan and went home to ask Li Xiang to make a few bowls of medicinal soup for Wang Huilian to drink.
But Wang Huilian's illness is sometimes better and sometimes worse.
When a person is awake, he cries, and his eyes are swollen into slits from crying.
When I was confused, I kept calling Shen Hongmei's name.
It was not until the Public Security Bureau notified the Shen family to collect Shen Hongmei's body that Wang Huilian finally crawled up despite her sick body in order to see her daughter for the last time.
Shen Hongmei's body did not stay in the Shen family. Shen Chunshu led his two sons and took it directly from the town to the mountain.
Wang Huilian was allowed to see him for the last time, and then he was hastily buried.
The once domineering girl was buried quietly in this way.
Since that day, Wang Huilian has not gone to work for nearly half a month.
Occasionally she would go out for a walk, and people in the village who met her almost didn't recognize her.
She is now even thinner than when the Shen family ran out of food.
His whole body looked sallow, his eye sockets were sunken, and he looked lifeless.
Some people can't bear it and will try to persuade her if they meet her.
But as soon as she opened her mouth, Wang Huilian started crying.
After so many times, people no longer dare to persuade him.
Finally, Shen Chunshu couldn't stand it anymore and scolded her severely at home. Only then did Wang Huilian come back to life.
Seeing her like this, Liu Changshan changed her job to some lighter work that required less work points.
But if this goes on for a long time, Old Man Shen will have some complaints.
He is now able to walk with his legs intact, but he still cannot do heavy work.
In his opinion, the person is already dead, so what's the point of feeling sad?
What's more, she's a girl, not a son, so why should you be sad?
The Shen family's top priority now is to earn work points quickly, pay back the remaining money owed to Hu Lili, and then find a wife to start a family for Shen Weimin.
On this day, during dinner, Old Man Shen scolded Wang Huilian directly at the table: "How long are you going to keep such a sullen face? Can you still live like this? Are you going to leave your whole family behind for a girl?"
"How old is Dawei? Don't you think about him? How many people his age in this village are still engaged?"
Wang Huilian ate her meal in silence and did not refute.
It's not that she doesn't know this truth, but she just can't muster the energy to do it.
Seeing that it was useless to talk to her, Old Man Shen simply gave her a death order.
Let her find a matchmaker to propose marriage to Shen Weimin.
Nowadays, it doesn’t matter what the girl looks like, as long as she is of similar age and not stupid.
But Shen Weimin asked Old Man Shen in confusion: "Grandpa, does our family have the money to pay the bride price? Without the bride price, who would marry me?"
Old man Shen said with some regret: "You have no money, but you have a mouth. Don't you have any tricks like this, young man?"
"Just be a little sweet-mouthed. As long as you can coax the girl, are you still afraid that she won't be with you?"
Just when Old Man Shen and Shen Weimin were discussing how to coax the little girl, the honest Li Xiang suddenly said, "It wasn't long since my mother passed away. Does Dawei have to observe mourning?"
The two people who were happily discussing suddenly fell silent.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Li Xiang quickly lowered her head and stopped talking.
To the other members of the Shen family, the death of Old Lady Wang was a good thing, as it was just one less burden that was eating for free.
So when she died, no one in the Shen family felt sad for her.
Everyone tacitly ignored the matter, but they didn't expect Li Xiang to bring it to light.
Old man Shen said with a sullen face: "Dawei should just stay with his grandmother for one year. Otherwise, if he really stays with her for three years, it will be too late for him."
"If his grandmother is still alive, she would be the happiest to see Dawei get married and have children."
"Let someone find one now, and when the mourning period is over, we can get married. Nothing will be delayed."
At this point he sighed again: "Recently our family has been unlucky, and we need a happy event to wash it off. Maybe our luck will improve in the future."
Since the old man said so, Li Xiang didn't dare to object.
So Wang Huilian had to cheer up and start to build relationships with other women in the village and ask them to help her find a candidate for a daughter-in-law.
But the Shen family has become famous in the surrounding villages.
There are two murderers in one family, one is in prison and the other is shot. Who would dare to marry a daughter to such a family?
Not to mention, everyone knew that the Shen family still owed foreign debts, and even those who wanted to sell their daughters for money could not find an excuse to marry their daughters.
