Chapter 310
Aunt Qian felt that they looked so pitiful and nodded in agreement.
Although Aunt Qian successfully knocked on the door and entered the Liang family, she was scolded out by Liang's father within a few minutes.
"Are you also having an unclear relationship with Old Man Chen, so you're speaking up for Cui'e?!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! Old man Chen and I haven't talked to each other, I..." Aunt Qian said angrily.
"Anyone who speaks for Cui'e, I suspect, has an unclear relationship with Old Man Chen, so he stands on Cui'e's side and pleads for her! When your old man is out there flirting with other women, you'd better think that your old man is not wrong, and the women who flirt with your old man are pitiful!" Liang's father said in a rough voice.
Aunt Qian was so angry at what Liang's father said that she stormed out in anger.
The Liang family's door closed again.
Aunt Liang was desperate when she saw that her father was driven away by Aunt Qian.
After that, although there were still kind aunts who brought hot water and food to Aunt Liang and Liang Tianxiong, no one was willing to go to Liang's father to plead for Aunt Liang.
Aunt Liang and Liang Tianxiong sat there from the first to the second day of the New Year in such a cold weather.
Although they put on all the thick clothes they could, they were still freezing.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Liang's father finally went out.
Aunt Liang was so cold that she could hardly stand. She crawled to Liang's father's feet, grabbed his trouser leg and said, "Old man, I was wrong. I will never talk to any other men again. Please let Tianxiong and I go inside. Look how frozen Tianxiong is. If he stays outside any longer, he will really freeze to death."
Liang's father mercilessly pulled out his trouser legs and said, "I didn't ask you to stay here. I told you to get as far away as possible and don't come near me again. Isn't your hometown in the countryside? Take Tianxiong back to your hometown. I can't keep you here."
After saying that, Liang's father walked away without looking back. No matter how Aunt Liang called him from behind, Liang's father did not stop.
After Cui Li came out of the house, Aunt Liang pulled Cui Li aside and said, "Cui Li, talk to your father and ask him to let Tianxiong and me in."
"Mom, Liang Nan and I have been talking to Dad about this these past few days. I told him it was so cold outside, and we should let you into the house to have some hot soup or hot water, but Dad wouldn't let me. I wanted to secretly send you and Tianxiong some hot soup and thick clothes, but Dad wouldn't let me. He even said that if I dared to do that, I would go back to the countryside with you. He also told Liang Nan that if he dared to help you even a little, he would never set foot in this house again."
Cui Li sighed in distress and continued, "Mom, I see Dad is still angry. No matter how we try to persuade him, he won't listen. But it's not a solution for you and Tianxiong to stay here all the time. I'm afraid that even if Dad really does cool down one day, you and Tianxiong will be frozen to death."
"Then what do you think we should do?" Aunt Liang was really at her wit's end and had lost her temper.
"I think you should find a place to stay first, and when Dad's anger subsides after a while, you and Tianxiong can come back." Cui Li said.
Aunt Liang's face was filled with misery. She felt that this was the only way out. Otherwise, she and Liang Tianxiong would freeze to death outside.
When Liang's father came back after a stroll, he found that Aunt Liang and Liang Tianxiong were no longer squatting at the door, and their expressions were calm.
Cui Li, on the other hand, wanted to take the initiative to talk to Liang's father about this: "Dad, Mom and Tianxiong plan to stay somewhere else first..."
Father Liang raised his hand to interrupt her: "Don't mention them to me, just pretend I don't have this daughter-in-law and this grandson."
Cui Li lowered her eyes and said nothing, but she was thinking in her heart: I wonder if Liang's father is serious this time, or if he will let Aunt Liang and Liang Tianxiong come back after a while.
…
The Liang family’s affairs did not shock the people in the compound for long.
Because on the night of New Year's Eve, something happened that shocked everyone in the compound, but the incident did not spread in the compound until the morning of the second day of the New Year.
——Yao Yi poisoned three members of the Ma family and was taken to the public security bureau.
The Yao family received the news on the afternoon of New Year's Day.
Father Yao, Yao Hong and Aunt Xie hurried to the Public Security Bureau. When the three of them came back, it was already the evening of New Year's Day.
It was said that Yao Yi had put rat poison in the dumplings she made. She didn't eat them; Ma Yong, Ma's father, and Ma's mother ate them. Not long after eating the dumplings, the three Ma family members died of the poison.
Yao Yi didn't care about the bodies of the three people. She made herself a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner. After eating, she went to have a good sleep.
It was not until the next day, New Year's Day, that someone came to the Ma family to pay New Year's greetings and discovered the bodies of the three Ma family members. They reported it to the police and the matter was exposed.
After the police brought Yao Yi back to the bureau, Yao Yi confessed to having drugged the victim.
That afternoon, when Aunt Xie and her family rushed to the Public Security Bureau, they heard the police say that Yao Yi had confessed to the crime. Aunt Xie and Yao's father collapsed to the ground and almost fainted.
Aunt Xie didn't believe Yao Yi would do such a thing. She even pulled the police officer aside and said, "Comrade, Yi Yi couldn't possibly do such a thing! She must have been forced into it. There must be some misunderstanding here!"
"Old comrade, we understand how you feel, but your daughter has already confessed her guilt." The public security comrade wanted to pull Aunt Xie up from the ground.
Aunt Xie refused to get up, tears streaming down her face as she said, "Impossible! Impossible! She must have been forced!"
The public security comrades allowed Aunt Xie and others to meet Yao Yi.
Yao Yi was locked in iron bars, facing Aunt Xie and the other two, with a cold and dull expression on her face.
"Yiyi, tell the police quickly that you didn't do it! You will be shot if you do this! You must have been forced to do it!" Aunt Xie grabbed the iron bars with both hands and said to Yao Yi inside.
"I did it, and I was forced to do it." Yao Yi's expression suddenly changed, and she yelled at Aunt Xie and the others, "I was forced to do it by you!"
Aunt Xie and the other two were stunned.
Yao Yi continued to roar, "If it weren't for you, would I have married Ma Yong and lived a life like that?! If you hadn't been unable to protect me and let Ma Yong take me back from my house and beat me to death, would I have poisoned them with rat poison? I was forced to do it. If I didn't poison them, I would have died! You don't care about my life or death at all, so I can only fend for myself!"
Aunt Xie stared at the hysterical Yao Yi in a daze, and forgot to let her tears flow.
She murmured, "No, it's not like that, it's not like that..."
But Yao Yi had already sat back in his original position, his expression becoming dull and indifferent again, and he no longer paid any attention to them.
…
After the turbulent Spring Festival, March arrived.
In March, more and more newspaper articles began to emphasize the importance of talent, and some rumors began to spread that the college entrance examination might be restored.
Such gossip naturally spread to the slum, and everyone talked about it privately.
Aunt Yue heard everyone discussing this and scoffed, "The college entrance exam has been suspended for ten years. How can it be resumed just like that? I think this is probably a rumor."
