Chapter 96 Pretending to be crazy to remove Wu Haiyao from his accounting position
The group of people brushed past Yu Haiguang and followed the doctors and nurses into an empty ward.
The screaming man stopped where he was, breathing heavily, staring blankly at the blood on his hands.
"Where is the location?" Yu Haiguang asked.
The man came back to his senses and asked in confusion: "Huh?"
"Where were they stabbed?" Yu Haiguang asked in more detail.
"At the end of Lane 18, next to the textile factory's staff quarters." The man swallowed, the family's screams still echoing in his ears.
As soon as he heard the address, Yu Haiguang had an idea in his mind.
This was the old residence of Yu Taohong and Zhang Zhenhua, which was occupied by the Zhang family after Zhang Zhenhua was captured.
The man stuttered, "That woman had disheveled hair and looked like a female ghost. She rushed into the house with a kitchen knife and chopped anyone she saw."
"Where is the person? Have you reported to the police station?" Yu Haiguang asked.
The man shook his head and said, "No, it's gone."
Yu Haiguang learned what happened and prepared to go to the police station to look for someone.
"Daguang." Yu Chaochuan quickly caught up with him, "Pei Lan, tell You An to protect Pei Lan."
"I got it." Yu Haiguang left this sentence and his figure disappeared into the night.
Yu Haiguang first went to the police station to report the case, and borrowed their phone to call the logistics team of the provincial cannery.
He Youan was assigned to the cannery as a professional, taking charge of logistics and security, while the people on night shifts usually rested in the logistics office.
After a long while, someone finally answered the phone.
"Hello, I'm Yu Haiguang." Yu Haiguang directly stated his identity and told the other party about the matter, asking him to pass on the message to Yu Peilan and his wife.
The security guards at the cannery were all veterans. They had all heard of his name and knew his relationship with Yu Peilan, so they all responded in agreement.
Afterwards, Yu Haiguang went to Eighteenth Lane.
The gate of Zhang's courtyard was wide open, the lights in the yard were on, and two police officers were collecting evidence.
The furniture and door frames in the room were covered with machete marks, and there were blood splatters on the walls.
"Brother Yu, we've searched the surrounding area and the person has indeed escaped." The policeman, who had participated in the operation in Huaxi Village, was holding a cigarette and wanted to offer him a cigarette.
Yu Haiguang raised his hand to decline, saying, "Ask Ning Tan to let me know if there is any news."
The man nodded and took a deep breath.
Yu Haiguang was about to leave when he heard soft sobbing coming from the yard opposite.
"Go back to Haiyu Village. Who knows if you will go crazy in the future and get up in the middle of the night to cut our necks." A hoarse voice sounded.
The next second, the door opened, and a thin woman with messy hair was pushed out of the yard and fell to the ground.
Yu Haiguang reached out to help her, and her face was exposed in the dim light.
"Brother Daguang." Zhang Haiyan's face was full of surprise.
Yu Haiguang glanced at the two men and one woman in the yard and asked, "Yanzi, what's going on?"
One of the younger men shrank his body and his nose twitched.
"Are you her brother?" The bloated old lady took a step forward and said, "My family doesn't want this daughter-in-law anymore. You can take her back."
Yu Haiguang glanced at Zhang Haiyan.
"You are a shameless family! You have a crush on someone secretly and you find excuses to send me back to my parents' home." Zhang Haiyan gnashed her eyes.
The old lady said arrogantly: "In the past, women who failed to give birth to a child within three years were divorced. We have tolerated you for more than ten years, which is considered to be the best we can do. Our family cannot be extinct."
As she spoke, her son quietly moved aside and hid behind her.
Zhang Haiyan naturally noticed the little movements of the person next to her. She laughed and shook her head, with tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes.
"If you want me to leave, I can." She calmed down, "I want to move all my dowry and the sewing machine in my room."
"Don't even think about taking anything away from my Zhang family." The old lady took a step forward and blocked the door.
On the other side, two police officers inspected the scene and saw Yu Haiguang still there. They greeted him familiarly: "Brother Yu, why haven't you left yet? Is this your sister?"
"Yes, Yanzi, call people, Brother Ning and Lan Gongan." Yu Haiguang winked at Zhang Haiyan, "This family wants to drive my sister back to her parents' home, but they won't let her move her dowry."
Zhang Haiyan called out in a low voice.
Ning Gongan, who was holding a cigarette, threw the butt to the ground and crushed it with his toes. He said lazily, "It's my father who doesn't allow me to move the dowry after the divorce. He's forcibly seizing other people's finances. I'll arrest him and put him in jail for a few days."
The three members of the Zhang family looked at each other and tacitly admitted defeat.
"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, we're not forbidding her to move," Old Man Zhang squeezed his face out from the gap and explained in his voice that sounded like scraping sandpaper, "It's getting dark now, and she can't be transported back for the time being."
Lan Gongan was a young man in his early twenties from the village. He was very enthusiastic and said, "It's no big deal. Brother Yu, Brother Ning, help me move out first. I'll bring my father's ox cart over."
"Hey, don't bother with that. Tomorrow morning I will--"
Old man Zhang was interrupted by Ning Gongan, who looked directly at Yu Haiyan: "Sister, lead the way."
Old Mrs. Zhang reluctantly moved aside and let Zhang Haiyan, the tall Yu Haiguang and Ning Gongan enter.
"A dressing table, a wardrobe, a wooden box, and a sewing machine." Zhang Haiyan went straight to the east room and pointed out her dowry one by one.
Then she haphazardly gathered the pieces of cloth from the tabletop together and tied them into a package with strips of cloth.
This was a private job she took on. All that was left was sewing the garment pieces together. Once they were done, she could deliver the goods and collect the balance.
"Wow, this dressing table is quite heavy." Ning Gongan almost couldn't lift it at the first try.
Zhang Haiyan's eyes flickered, but he said nothing and continued packing up the odds and ends.
At this moment, Mrs. Zhang looked at the figure flashing in the room, her face full of pain: "How could we let her carry the sewing machine away?"
"Why rush? I'll ask her to send it back by herself when the time comes." Old man Zhang said calmly.
He has worked in the textile factory for decades and was promoted to deputy director of the weaving workshop last month. He now has some power.
Mrs. Zhang understood his thoughts immediately and pressed the issue, "We also need to ask her to pay us 10 yuan to make up for the loss of our clothes making in the next few days."
"Okay, let her pay for it." Old man Zhang smiled.
Their son was hesitant to speak, and in the end he said nothing, just watching Zhang Haiyan move the things away.
The road back to the village was pitch black, with the only light beam from the flashlight in Yu Haiguang's hand ahead.
The environment was extremely quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was the clattering of cows' hooves on the ground.
"If you are unhappy, just cry." Yu Haiguang's voice was very soft.
Zhang Haiyan just sobbed at first, but then burst into tears.
It was already twelve o'clock when the two returned to Haiyu Village, and the occasional sound of dogs barking could be heard in the village.
Yu Haiguang knocked on Zhang's door, and it was Zhang Haiyan's eldest brother who opened the door.
He held the candle in one hand and rubbed his eyes with the other, saying, "Da Guang, you're back. How is Sister Lan?"
Yu Haiguang took a step to the side, revealing Zhang Haiyan behind him.
"Yanzi! Why are your eyes so swollen?" Brother Zhang's voice rose unconsciously.
Then, people from each room made noises, lit candles, and hurried out.
The light from six candles gathered together, allowing everyone to see clearly the boxes and cabinets on the ox cart outside the yard.
"Dajin, help my aunt move her things back to the east room." The old branch secretary ordered in a deep voice.
Zhang Dajin and his two brothers responded and emptied the ox cart in no time.
"Uncle Feng, I'm leaving first." Yu Haiguang said goodbye and left.
He drove a bullock cart to Yu's house, kicked the door open, and pulled Wu Haiyao out of bed.
"Ah!" Wu Caixia screamed and quickly struck a match to light the candle on the kang cabinet, "Brother, what are you doing? Let go of Ah Yao!"
"Wu Lan has a tumor in her brain, you go and take care of her." Yu Haiguang stared into his eyes.
Hearing this, Wu Haiyao's eyes quickly turned around, he broke free from his hand, fell to the ground and pretended to gather the papers, muttering those words.
Yu Haiguang sneered, grabbed his collar and punched him in the eyes.
The fist was still a few centimeters away from Wu Haiyao, and he subconsciously closed his eyes and dodged.
"Don't act crazy here." Yu Haiguang threw him to the ground.
Wu Caixia crawled and rolled off the kang and said, "Big, big brother, Ah Yao can't be stimulated anymore. I'll go with you."
"Coward, ungrateful bastard." Yu Haiguang cursed and walked out.
Before leaving, he went home, put his bicycle on the ox cart, sent Wu Caixia to the entrance of the town hospital, and then went to Public Security Lan's house to return the bicycle.
Afterwards, he took Yu Chaochuan home on his bike.
This went on for a long time until the second half of the night, and then the father and son went to the west room and fell asleep.
The next day, when the two woke up, it was already past ten o'clock and they heard Yu Wanqin chatting with an elder of the clan.
"Wanqin, please persuade Daguang and Chaochuan." The elder said this and sighed several times, "Wu Lan and her son are bad people, but if we sever our relationship now, we will be criticized."
Early in the morning, Wu Caixia hired an ox cart to take Wu Lan back to the village.
After entering the village, she cried all the way, crying that Wu Lan had a terminal illness and that Wu Haiyao had suffered a great shock and his mind was not very clear.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cried miserably, which aroused the sympathy of some people.
"Wanqin, you are a good daughter-in-law, you can't let your husband's family bear these bad reputations." The elder was still chattering.
Yu Wanqin smiled and raised her hand to fill the teacup in front of him.
"You, I'm doing this for your own good!" The clan elder looked as if he was disappointed in his son.
Yu Chaochuan pushed the door open and walked out: "Third Uncle, no one can change what I have decided, please don't make things difficult for Wanqin."
"Alas, Chaochuan, you should not be ungrateful. After all, Wu Lan has taken care of your child for so long." The elder continued to persuade.
Yu Chaochuan and his son were very tough in their attitude, and he finally left in a rage.
Yu Zhile found Chen Zhao and asked him to spread the news in the village that Wu Lan could be cured, but the treatment would require precious medicinal materials and the consultation fee would be five hundred.
Afterwards, she went to the brigade headquarters and suggested removing Wu Haiyao from his accounting position, and received more than half of the votes in favor.
"Wu Haiyao, from now on, you are no longer the accountant of Haiyu Village." Yu Zhile came to inform him personally.
At this time, the news that Wu Lan's disease could be cured fermented and reached Wu Lan's ears.
