Chapter 138 The Truth
But he never seemed to be able to raise enough money for the wedding gift, and his mother's condition was sometimes better and sometimes worse, and there had been no improvement in more than ten years.
No matter how hard he and his father worked to earn money, they could never spend as much as they did on medicine. Their family could barely afford a bite of meat all year round, let alone earn enough to pay for a pig as a dowry.
Wang Guilan scolded Wu Tong even more fiercely, but was still unwilling to lower the bride price.
Since no one was willing to accept her because of her close relationship, she started to expand her connections further and further away, eventually moving to the neighboring county.
I won't stop until I sell Wu Tong for a good price.
Wu Tong became more and more timid and less willing to see people. She kept her head down and hunched her back all day long, and she would hide whenever she saw him. It was difficult for him to even take a good look at her.
He took out all his anger on those gossipers, and he spared no effort to retaliate against those who spoke ill of Wu Tong behind his back!
The worse Wu Tong's reputation was, the closer he felt to her. He felt very happy watching those gossiping women jumping up and down and cursing, watching them sitting at the door crying and whining, and he felt very happy!
He gained more and more secret pleasure from each revenge.
Wang Guilan finally found another marriage for Wu Tong. I heard that the man was an old man, and this time the betrothal gift was fifty yuan.
This time, Wu Tong, who had always been cowardly, actually resisted. She would rather die than marry that family, and she hit her head against a pillar. After that, she inexplicably became a hero. Later, she cured the cow, changed her surname, and could also treat people outside.
She is more beautiful and powerful every day. I heard that she has learned kung fu, so ordinary people can't get close to her.
Wu Tong's change frightened him and made him feel that things were developing in an uncontrollable direction.
The most important thing is that she seemed to have forgotten him. He tried to test her several times, but she no longer dodged his gaze, nor was she afraid. She looked at him more like a stranger.
He was even more panicked. He didn't know if she had hit her head and forgotten about him, or if she had completely stopped caring about him.
After Wu Tong moved into Old Wu's yard, he had more interactions with Shi Tou, and he also started to get close to Shi Tou.
When he heard that she was going to make furniture, he hinted to Shitou intentionally or unintentionally, and if Shitou helped Wu Tong cut bamboo, he would also go to help.
It was not until he walked into her yard and she called him Master Zheng with a smile that he felt it was over and she had completely forgotten about him.
It doesn't matter if she forgets him, he won't give up.
But whenever he followed her, she would be alert. He dug a hole in her back wall while he was working, but he was discovered before he could see anything.
He was determined to get her as soon as possible, before things got out of control.
He has been looking for opportunities and waiting for them.
Finally, this time, what he had been waiting for came. Wu Tong just lay unconscious in his arms, allowing him to manipulate her and do whatever he wanted.
He was ecstatic. His long-term efforts and suffering had finally paid off. He had waited for this moment.
He held her in his arms, as if in a dream.
She is my Wu Tong.
Just a little bit.
…
Zheng Liangping's confession was very long, filling up several pages of letter paper. The police officer who was recording it even changed pens in the middle because he ran out of ink.
After the interrogation, the two police officers looked at each other and felt a little emotional.
Who would have thought there was such a story behind this.
Who would have thought that the "disaster star" in Yunshan Village was actually man-made.
——————
Zheng Liangping's incident caused an uproar in the village.
Such a dark and skinny little bamboo craftsman actually did so many things in secret.
Thinking of the meat thrown into the cesspool and the burnt vegetables, as well as the broken arms and legs and the ghosts met along the way, those who had suffered the misfortune seemed to have found the source of their anger and could not help but pick up the matter again and curse it again.
Who would have thought that there was someone behind the scenes manipulating the "disaster star" that has been called for so many years.
For a moment, I felt sorry for the unlucky girl "Wu Tong" and didn't know what attitude to take towards her.
Wu Qiuyu was indignant.
Her mother had the foresight to send her to her uncle's house before Wu Jiabao fell into the water.
She originally just went to deliver some New Year's goods, but ended up being asked by her aunt to do hard labor for a few days. When she came back, everything had been settled, and she didn't even have a chance to inform Su Tong.
Her always unlucky sister had another bad misfortune when she was not at home.
Fortunately, there was no harm.
Wu Qiuyu was so angry that her mother always had no clear stance. If her mother hadn't sent a letter to her, why would her aunt keep her and not let her leave?
While her mother was not paying attention, Wu Qiuyu took out all the eggs she had saved, the malted milk she had stolen last time, and the candies and snacks she had bought for the New Year from her mother's cupboard, and brought them all to Su Tong's house.
Su Tong drank the antidote and was awake long ago, but this crudely made prescription had serious side effects, so he had to lie on the kang to rest.
Shitou ran in and out fetching water and sweeping the floor. He was very busy and kept shouting.
Wu Qiuyu hugged Su Tong's arm, her eyes red.
"Sister, Zheng Liangping has admitted that he did those things. You have been called the 'disaster star' for nothing! You, you have been wronged!"
Su Tong tapped her nose, somewhat amused:
"Now that everything is clear, isn't it? You should be happy! Why are you crying?"
However, the matter of Zheng Liangping still made her silent for a long time. There was no trace of Zheng Liangping in the memory she received. She didn't know if Wu Tong wanted to forget him deliberately.
After all, for the past three years, this person has been following her like a ghost, making her never feel safe and always living in anxiety.
She opened the plastic-covered notebook again, and finally pieced together the story about Zheng Liangping from the fragmentary records inside.
Growing up, this girl not only had parents and brothers who did not treat her as a human being, but also had such a mentally paranoid "pursuer" who not only made her bear the stigma of a disaster star, but also made her live in fear all the time.
It was not easy for her to grit her teeth and live to the age of eighteen.
Su Tong heaved a long sigh of relief...
Wu Tong! I will pay you back what you owe me! I will get you back what you owe me! They will all receive the punishment they deserve!
Then she stretched her arms, stood up and prepared to get off the bed.
"Qiuyu, you came at the right time. I have some pig heads in my kitchen. I want to take them to Aunt Cuifen to marinate them. She has ready-made marinade..."
Wu Qiuyu hurriedly pushed her into the quilt and said, "You should have a good rest and don't get up! I'll take the stew! Just lie down."
After saying that, he went to the kitchen, picked up the basket of pork head, and ran away happily.
Su Tong curled the corners of his mouth, quickly got up from the kang, tidied up a little and went out.
Zhang Yaping is still detained in the town police station. As the case involves Meng Huzi, a case of this level will definitely not be tried by the town police station in the end.
If she went too late, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to see anyone.
Logically, as a victim, Su Tong cannot meet the suspect directly.
Unfortunately, Zhang Yaping repeatedly cried and said that she was also a victim, not a suspect.
In addition, the town police station only cooperated in the detention, and the implementation of the system was not so standardized.
Su Tong, with a pale face, pleaded a few words in front of Director Jiang. Director Jiang then asked Xiao Yang to take Su Tong to the detention room and told her to ask anything she wanted to ask, and repeatedly told her not to stay in there too long.
Su Tong did not delay.
Didn't even ask anything.
When he saw Zhang Yaping, he grabbed her collar and slapped her several times.
Su Tong didn't hold back at all, and slapped Zhang Yaping so hard that she couldn't even stand!
Everything happened so suddenly. As soon as Su Tong let go of her hand, Zhang Yaping fell to the ground with disheveled hair. She didn't react for a long time.
