"I can't thank you for your hard work, Mom, let's go home!"
Ji Xiangmei was so angry that her face turned pale. If she hadn't been on guard, her innocence would have been ruined today.
Fortunately, she was wary of her elder sister and did not drink the cup of tea, nor did she let the deputy battalion commander drink it, thus avoiding disaster.
Afterwards, she gave the cup of tea to the dog, and the dog went crazy, which made her very scared.
"Xianglian, you disappoint me so much!"
Ji's mother looked at her eldest daughter with great sorrow. She really couldn't understand how her eldest daughter, who was originally gentle and kind, could become such an unscrupulous person?
"Xiangmei, don't cry anymore. Mom will take you home!"
Ji's mother wiped the tears of her younger daughter and said that she didn't plan to find a partner in the military area. With her older daughter around, her younger daughter would definitely suffer if she married into the military area. Although life in her hometown was a bit hard, it was peaceful.
"What happened?"
Captain Xu had just returned from his work when he saw that his mother-in-law and wife looked unhappy, his sister-in-law was wiping her tears, and the atmosphere was very heavy.
"Nothing. Xiangmei and I had a few words and she insisted on going home."
Ji Xianglian forced a smile and made up an excuse to get away with it.
Ji's mother did not expose the truth. Although she was extremely disappointed with her eldest daughter, she still hoped that she could get along well with her son-in-law.
"Why are you in such a hurry to go back? It's a rare trip for you, so stay a few more days."
Captain Xu believed it and politely tried to keep him.
"I don't live here anymore. There's no one to do the housework. I'm sorry to bother my son-in-law these days."
Ji's mother refused. If she continued to stay, she was afraid that she would not be able to protect her little daughter.
"Xu Shengli, you are stupid but you still refuse to accept it. You believe everything your cousin says. Your sister-in-law is crying as if her father has died. How could it be just a few words? Your cousin gave your sister-in-law drugs and wanted to send her to Li Honghai to sleep!"
Lu Ye came in uninvited and exposed Ji Xianglian's lies.
Captain Xu's face changed. Li Honghai was the 32-year-old deputy battalion commander. Although Lu Ye was crazy, he was not making things up.
"No, he's talking nonsense. Xiangmei is my biological sister. How could I possibly harm her?"
Ji Xianglian flatly denied it. She was sure that her mother and sister would not expose her. After all, she was the best off in her family, and her family could only hold their heads up high in the village because of her.
"Mom, is this true?"
Captain Xu's trust in his wife has now dropped a lot, so he turned to ask his mother-in-law.
Mother Ji hesitated for a few seconds, but still denied it, "No... No, it was just a quarrel between the sisters!"
There was a flash of disappointment in Ji Xiangmei's eyes, and when she saw Ji Xianglian's smug look, she felt even more hatred in her heart.
"Brother-in-law, he is right. My eldest sister wanted to harm me. She wanted me to marry Li Honghai. She said that Li Honghai's family has a good background. If I marry him, I will have a better future in the army. I didn't want to be a stepmother, so I refused. Then my eldest sister drugged me and tried to destroy my innocence. Fortunately, God opened his eyes and I didn't drink that tea."
Ji Xiangmei said it all that she would not be like Ji Xuemei, who did not know how to fight back after being harmed by others.
Ji's mother wanted to stop her, but it was too late and she couldn't help but sigh.
"Xiangmei, are you crazy? I'm your elder sister, and you're throwing dirty water at me?"
Ji Xianglian looked at her sister with a warning look.
"I don't have a vicious elder sister like you. From now on, we will be strangers."
Ji Xiangmei also threatened her with her eyes. If she got mad, she would tell everyone about Ji Xuemei's affairs and nobody would be happy.
"Snap"
Captain Xu, who was extremely angry, slapped Ji Xianglian in the face. Ji Xianglian's face swelled up instantly and blood came out of the corners of her mouth.
"Luckily Xiangmei was alert, otherwise how would I survive in the military region in the future? Ji Xianglian, I always thought you were smart and capable, and I didn't need to worry about the family. I was blind, you are dumber than a pig!"
Captain Xu was almost furious. Li Honghai's family did have a background, so he was very glad that Ji Xiangmei was alert and escaped.
Otherwise he would have offended Li Honghai to death.
Li Honghai is a proud person. If he really drank the medicinal tea, he would marry his sister-in-law, but he would also definitely hate him to death. Ji Xianglian, this stupid woman, was so smart and almost ruined his future.
"Son-in-law, let's talk it over nicely. Xianglian did this stupid thing out of concern for you. Calm down!"
Ji's mother quickly spoke nice words and pleaded for her daughter.
"Mom, you and Xiangmei should take the child back to the house to rest."
Captain Xu had a cold face and looked scary.
Ji's mother didn't dare to persuade her anymore, so she took Ji Xiangmei and the two children to the next room. After closing the door, she slapped her little daughter.
"Are you satisfied now? You didn't suffer any loss. Just keep it a secret. If you insist on exposing it, what good will it do to you if your elder sister gets divorced?"
Ji's mother was almost furious. Her eldest daughter had married well, and her family's status in the village was higher. Even the team leader had to be polite when he saw her.
Her son-in-law was so angry that she was really worried that something might happen. But she comforted herself by thinking that her eldest daughter and son-in-law had two children, so nothing should happen, right?
"If she doesn't divorce me, I won't be in any good situation!"
Ji Xiangmei threw herself on the bed and cried, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Captain Xu next door wanted to teach his wife a lesson, but Lu Ye was there, so it was inconvenient for him.
"Deputy Captain Lu, why don't you go home?"
Captain Xu spoke very directly. After all, if his words were too euphemistic, this crazy man would not understand.
"I have something to ask you, follow me!"
Lu Ye glanced at Ji Xianglian, stretched out his hand, pulled Captain Xu and walked out.
"Let go. If you have anything to say, just say it here. Why are you pulling and tugging?"
Captain Xu shook him off and glared at him unhappily.
"You can't let your cousin hear this. Let's go. You'll have to kowtow to me and thank me in a moment!"
Lu Ye grabbed him again and dragged him downstairs.
Ji Xianglian's heart sank. The look Lu Ye gave her just now made her feel cold down her spine. What evil thing was this bastard going to do next?
She thought back to what she had done over the years and felt a little relieved.
Apart from the fact that she was a little impulsive regarding Xiangmei, there should be nothing else wrong. Only she and Xiangmei knew about Ji Xuemei's matter, and Lu Ye definitely wouldn't be able to find out.
Although her husband is angry now, she will definitely be able to coax him into okay shape for the sake of the two children.
Downstairs, Lu Ye dragged Captain Xu to the street light and gave him the evidence.
"Take a good look at what your cousin is!"
The evidence was a letter of denunciation. The letter paper had turned yellow, indicating that it was very old, and it was unsigned. However, Captain Xu recognized the handwriting at a glance. It was Ji Xianglian's.
The letter reported a person named Ji Xuemei. The name sounded familiar to him, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
"Does this name sound familiar? She is your cousin's good sister, but she is better than your cousin. Back then, your parents wanted to marry her as their daughter-in-law. Ji Xuemei told Ji Xianglian about this, and your cousin wrote this letter of denunciation. Ji Xuemei was arrested and taken to a farm, and within half a year she jumped into the river and committed suicide. Ji Xianglian successfully married you and lived a good life."
Lu Ye's tone was mocking. Although Captain Xu was innocent, he was also somewhat responsible for Ji Xuemei's death.
This means that even though you did not kill Bo Ren, Bo Ren died because of you.
Captain Xu's face gradually turned pale. He remembered that his parents had indeed mentioned Ji Xuemei in the past, saying that she was the most beautiful and capable girl in the village, and that the young men who proposed to her could line up for two miles. His parents had talked to Ji Xuemei's parents and were just waiting for him to come home to meet her, and hold a wedding if they were attracted to each other.
But after he returned home, he heard from his parents that Ji Xuemei had gotten into trouble and made a serious mistake. He definitely could not date this girl anymore. Then a matchmaker happened to talk about Ji Xianglian. He went to meet her and felt she was okay, so he held a wedding banquet.
He didn't expect that Ji Xuemei got into trouble because of him.
He never expected that the person he had lived with for so many years was actually a vicious woman with a heart of a scorpion and would do anything to achieve her goals!
Captain Xu felt a chill on his back, his clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and the cold wind blew past, sticking to his skin and chilling him to his bones.
