Chapter 219 The old couple finally realized the importance of Luo Xinxin
Yu Hongbo was handcuffed, and Public Security Zhong asked him to lead the way to the mountain to find Wang Li's body.
The mountains were desolate in winter, but fortunately there was no snow during this period, so the roads on the mountain were easy to walk on. Yu Hongbo led them to the place where the bodies were dumped. Only a few pieces of cloth, shoes, and a few bones were left.
There are wild wolves in the mountains and there is little food in winter. Wang Li's body had been left there for half a month and must have been eaten by wild wolves.
Those pieces of clothing and shoes could prove Wang Li's identity. Public Security Zhong had the bones picked up and given to her parents after going down the mountain.
After Yu Hongbo was arrested, the farm was in an uproar as if a torpedo had been dropped on it. No one believed it was true.
"Teacher Yu is such a good person, how could he kill someone? Could the police have made a mistake?"
"How could the police make a mistake? Wang Li's body has been found, and Yu Hongbo has confessed to it. He was the one who killed her and stole the money. He even had an affair with her. You can't judge a person by their appearance!"
"Yu Hongbo is also the one who can't have children. He used to make medicine for Wang Li all the time, making us all think that Wang Li couldn't have children. He's really good at acting."
"You can only judge a person by his appearance. Wang Li is so unlucky. She married a man who is so good at acting. She is dead!"
…
The public opinion on the farm suddenly changed. Everyone sympathized with Wang Li. Even if she had an affair, it was Yu Hongbo's fault. It was Yu Hongbo's fault that he couldn't have children and refused to divorce. He deserved to be cuckolded.
When Wang Li's parents saw their daughter's bones, they cried bitterly and regretted choosing a beastly man for their daughter, who had killed her.
Yu Hongbo and Tan Hongmei were both taken away by Public Security Officer Zhong. If nothing unexpected happens, Yu Hongbo will be executed after the new year, and Tan Hongmei will not be able to escape imprisonment.
When Director Lei knew about this, he was still begging his superiors for help. Then Baohui called him and told him that the money had been found and not a penny was missing.
"Xiao Luo found it? Hahahaha, Xiao Luo is indeed a talented person. I'll be back soon!"
Director Lei's back straightened immediately. After hanging up the phone, he ran to his leader and showed off proudly, venting all the frustration he had felt in the past two days. Then he returned to the farm happily.
When he came back, it was already dark. Yu Hongbo and Tan Hongmei were taken to the Public Security Bureau. The farm was in an uproar, and everyone was discussing the case.
Luo Weian and Erya also came back. They got a ride from Director Lei on the way and came back together.
Luo Xinxin and Li Rong were preparing dinner at home. After being away for more than two months, all the food and meat she had prepared were eaten up, and she had not prepared any New Year's goods. The rice jar and oil can were cleaner than if they had been licked by a rat.
"Your grandfather went to the city and said he would bring back New Year's goods." said Old Mrs. Luo.
"Erya also went to the city to buy it."
Daya said with a smile.
She gave all her salary to Erya and asked her to go to the city to buy meat and rice.
"She has been in the city for more than ten days. Who knows if she will come back." Old Mrs. Luo muttered softly. She always felt that Erya was a cunning girl and might have run away with the money.
"I will definitely come back. Erya said if she's not coming back today, she'll come back tomorrow."
Daya's tone was very serious, Erya would definitely not lie to her.
Old Mrs. Luo curled her lips, too lazy to argue with the silly girl.
Luo Xinxin asked curiously, "Why did Erya take so long to be in the city? Where does she live?"
"Classmate's house, make up lessons."
Daya spoke concisely and Luo Xinxin understood. Erya had good grades and went to her classmate's house for extra lessons.
As he was speaking, Erya's voice was heard outside, "I'm back, Daya, come and get your things!"
Daya's eyes lit up and she ran out happily. Soon, she came back like a gust of wind, with her hands full of things and a piece of egg cake in her mouth.
"Sister, you're finally back!"
Erya ran very fast, passed Daya, rushed over and hugged Luo Xinxin.
I haven't seen this girl for more than two months. She has changed a lot. She has grown taller, gained weight, and her hair has grown longer. She has become a beautiful girl.
"Just got back today. Did you go to your classmate's house?"
Luo Xinxin patted her on the back gently and asked with a smile.
"She's from the county town, and she's not a good student. After the New Year, she had to take a job exam, and she was afraid she wouldn't pass, so she asked me to come to the city to tutor her. She also offered me fifty cents a day, but I refused."
Erya introduced the family situation of this female classmate. Her father worked in the power supply bureau and her mother worked in a textile factory. The family conditions were very good. However, the female classmate grew up in her grandparents' home and had been studying in the town. Her academic performance was very poor and she was held back several grades. Therefore, the female classmate was three or four years younger than Erya.
The recruitment exam is for the Power Supply Bureau, and it is a very valuable office job with high academic requirements. Even if the female student is the child of an employee of the Power Supply Bureau, she has to take a formal exam and pass the exam before she can be recruited.
Erya has good grades and shares a bunk bed with a female classmate. They have a good relationship. When the female classmate asks her for extra lessons, she agrees without hesitation.
Moreover, Erya felt that this female classmate's family lived in the county town, and her parents both worked in good companies. If she made good friends with her female classmate, she might be able to find out about job opportunities in the future. Even if she couldn't find any, it didn't matter. It was always beneficial to know friends in the county town.
"That's right, we don't need these few dollars."
Luo Xinxin praised her, and Erya grinned. She took out a piece of Dacron and a can of malted milk from her bag and said, "These were given to me by my classmate's mother. I accepted them."
"Next time you go to the city to visit your classmates, bring them some gifts. It's a good idea to reciprocate."
Luo Xinxin taught her how to maintain a relationship. This female classmate's family seemed to be well-off, and they could visit each other often.
Erya nodded and took out the things in the bag one by one, including candies, egg cakes, peach cakes, white sugar, red beans, oil, salt, rice, flour, etc., which were all urgently needed at home.
She had limited strength, so she only bought a little of each item, packed them into two large bags, and carried them all the way back. If she hadn't met the mine supervisor halfway, she would have definitely reached home in the middle of the night if she had walked on her own.
Luo Weian also took out the New Year's goods he bought, which were similar to Erya's. He also took out an enamel cup with braised pork in it, which had been frozen.
"The braised pork in the cafeteria is delicious. I brought it back specially and will steam it later." He said with a smile.
Luo Weian was in a particularly good mood because his granddaughter had finally returned and the burden on his shoulders was a little lighter.
He had not had an easy time in the past two months. He did not feel anything when his granddaughter was around, but as soon as Luo Xinxin left, he suddenly felt a lot more pressure on his shoulders. He finally realized that his granddaughter had been carrying all the pressure when she was at home. He and the old lady really did not know how to appreciate what they had and even went against their granddaughter. It was really wrong.
Luo Xinxin also took out the things she brought from Shanghai. Seeing the familiar Guanshengyuan dim sum, Old Lady Luo's eyes turned red. She ate a piece of peach cake and nodded vigorously: "This is the taste. The peach cakes here don't taste right."
"What's wrong with the taste of peach pastry? It's clearly your mouth that's wrong."
Luo Xinxin retorted as usual. All the peach cakes tasted the same to her.
Old Mrs. Luo did not refute this time because she was completely immersed in the deliciousness of the peach pastry and could not extricate herself.
Luo Weian thought further and asked, "Xinxin, are you going to Shanghai on a business trip?"
