The liveliness in Ren Tiezhu's house attracted the attention of villagers.
Everyone thought about how Ren Dazhuang defended Xie Wan in the morning, and couldn't help but believe the fact that Ren Dazhuang and Tao Hongmei were having an affair.
When Ren Tiezhu heard that his wife had cheated on him, he was so angry that he also went up to beat Tao Hongmei.
When her daughter was wrongly accused of adultery, Tao Hongmei did not stand up to defend her daughter.
Now she also tasted the feeling of being wronged.
If Ren Dazhuang had not been called over in time, Tao Hongmei might have been beaten to death by Ren Dazhuang's wife and Ren Tiezhu.
Xie Wan watched this farce and took advantage of the chaos to sneak into Tao Hongmei's room.
She rummaged through the drawers and found her biological father's address and the ten dollars hidden by Tao Hongmei.
I saw a handkerchief at the bottom of the box, wrapped in a square shape. I knew at a glance that there were good things hidden inside.
When I opened it, I found it was a emerald green ring.
I really can’t believe that Tao Hongmei has such nice jewelry.
Xie Wan didn't care about anything and wanted to put the ring on his hand.
She was too thin and the ring was a little big, so Xie Wan found a rope, threaded it through and hung it around her neck.
Xie Wan sneaked into the kitchen again and pried open the locked top cabinet.
This family is really poor. There is nothing good in the cupboard. The only thing that catches the eye is half a piece of bacon.
Xie Wan took the bacon and sneaked away while Dazhu's wife was still fighting with Tao Hongmei.
She ran to the village committee, prepared to spend the night there.
Huang Jianguo has been taken back to the town by Secretary Gao of the Revolutionary Committee, and now there is no one in the village committee.
Xie Wan climbed over the wall into the yard, picked up a stone and smashed open the house where she had been imprisoned.
She lay on the floor with her clothes on and fell asleep until midnight when she was woken up by the rat again.
"Squeak, are you here to bring me meat?" asked the mouse.
Xie Wan took out the half piece of bacon that Tao Hongmei had hidden, and hung it in the air, tempting her: "I want you to do one more thing for me, and this half piece of bacon is your reward.
I will give you the bacon after the matter is settled."
Haozi had only eaten two small, thin pieces of bacon in the morning and was completely dazzled by the aroma.
When he saw that Xie Wan had such a big piece of bacon in his hand, he was willing to agree to any conditions.
"Do you know the rat from Niuwei Village?" Xie Wan asked.
The mouse said, "Squeak, we mice are fertile. The mice in the nearby villages all have the same great grandfather and great grandmother, so of course they know each other."
Xie Wan ordered, "Please go to Niuwei Village for me and ask your rat relatives to help look for a lame man who used to be a bandit."
Xie Wan only knew that the spy Qin Muye caught was a cripple and had been a bandit, and he knew no other information.
She asked Haozi to help find out first. She had thought of this in the afternoon, so she would spend the night at the village committee.
"After you find the person, ask around and find out who this cripple often interacts with and whether he has anything to hide."
Haozi received the task and set off.
It was not until dawn that he ran back exhausted and told Xie Wan what he had learned.
Xie Wan kept his word and gave the half piece of bacon to Haozi as a reward.
She swaggered to Widow Qian's house and asked for soy milk and fried dough sticks.
When Widow Qian heard that Xie Wan came to ask for soy milk and fried dough sticks, she thought Xie Wan was crazy.
Xie Wan said with a fake smile: "My uncle Dazhuang asked me to come to your place for breakfast.
Aunt Qian, don't think that my mother took the blame for you yesterday and that no one will know about what happened between you and my uncle Dazhuang."
Widow Qian was shocked.
Yesterday, Da Zhuang's wife went to Tao Hongmei's house to make a scene. She was relieved for a while, but after listening to Da Zhuang's explanation, she realized that it was caused by Xie Wan's crazy behavior and calling him "Dad" indiscriminately.
Unexpectedly, this old woman came to the door early in the morning.
How could Widow Qian dare to offend Xie Wan again? She had no choice but to go into the house, scoop a bowl of soybean milk, handed it to her and said, "There is no more fried dough sticks. Can I make you a sugar cake?"
Xie Wan had never eaten it, but thought it must be good from the name, so he nodded in agreement.
When the sugar cake came out of the pot, I realized that it was flour, sugar and water, and fried in oil. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, sweet and very delicious.
These days, flour is quite precious. It seems that the widow Qian lives a very wealthy life thanks to Ren Dazhuang.
After breakfast, Xie Wan left the village and rushed to Niuwei Village.
Last night, Xie Wan had asked Haozi to find out that there was a lame man named Guo in Niuwei Village who used to be a bandit.
Moreover, there are gold bars buried behind Guo Quezi's house.
When she heard the word gold bars, Xie Wan immediately confirmed that Guo Quezi was the person she was looking for. How could there be gold bars in an ordinary citizen's home? He must be a spy.
Xie Wan’s second aunt married into Niuwei Village. This second aunt was quite nice to the original owner and often advised Tao Hongmei not to abuse her own daughter.
Several times, he met the original owner who had no food to eat at the border between the two villages, and he took her home and gave her food.
The original owner didn't have many memories left, but she remembered how good her second aunt was to her.
As soon as Xie Wan entered the village, he was recognized by the people of Niuwei Village.
No one took it seriously as if she was going to meet her second aunt.
Xie Wan did not go to her second aunt's house. Instead, she found Guo Quezi's house based on Haozi's description.
Because Guo Quezi looked fierce and had a lame leg, he did not marry, but he had affairs with many widows, and it was said that he paid money to do the affairs.
His house is just an adobe house, located in a remote area at the west end of the village.
Xie Wan sneaked over there and squatted in the bushes waiting for a long time before he saw Guo Quezi go out.
After the others had gone far away, Xie Wan slipped under a yellow fruit tree behind the house and started digging with his bare hands.
