Two days later, Lin Yuyao drove Lin Ping to school. After returning, Lin Yuyao called home and explained the situation to her parents.
"I've already sent Lin Ping to school. When he has a holiday next time, which will be the Mid-Autumn Festival or National Day, I'll ask him to call you then."
Ye Lian still hoped that her children would call her more often, but she said, "Why call? It's a waste of phone bills. Ask them to write to me."
Lin Yuyao said, "It's very convenient to make phone calls now. Writing letters is slow and unclear, and long-distance stamps are not cheap. With that money, I can explain a few things over the phone."
"Tsk, he just talks to make me angry, I won't listen."
Lin Yuyao: “…”
"By the way, do you still remember your classmate?"
"Ye Xiaotong?"
"Yes, she was killed."
Lin Yuyao's heart skipped a beat.
More than a month ago, I heard Ye Lian say that she asked for my address, and I told her the address.
Lin Yuyao thought that even if she didn't come to find her, she would go to Guangcheng to make a living like she did in her previous life. How could she be killed?
Could it be that, because I was not there to help her plan, her fate was rewritten?
Lin Yuyao's face turned pale, and she asked Ye Lian in a trembling voice, "Who killed him?"
"I heard that it was someone from her husband's family. All of her husband's family members were arrested and thrown into prison."
Lin Yuyao asked hurriedly, "Have you found the body?"
"No, I'm looking for it."
Lin Yuyao heaved a sigh of relief.
But she was scared to death.
I am such an asshole. If it is suspected that he was killed, then it is suspected that he was killed. Why just say he was killed directly?
The body was not found. It seemed that just like in the previous life, she might have run away.
I took a black car, so my whereabouts could not be traced.
"How do you know she was killed by her husband's family?"
"Their neighbors said that they heard Ye Xiaotong's screams the day before, and they didn't see her the next day. On the third day, her husband's family said she ran away. Who would believe that? Their family locked her up and beat her, and she disappeared the next day.
Where can she go with all these injuries? Now people in their village say that the man was beaten to death by their family and no one knows where the body was dumped. The whole village called for severe punishment of this family. Everyone testified that they beat him to death. I think it was most likely that he was killed by this family. "
Lin Yuyao knew that none of Ye Xiaotong's in-laws were good people. They were a vicious and evil family who had offended all the neighbors around them.
The neighbors put all their efforts into taking this opportunity to wipe out this family.
If the body is really not found, then she most likely really ran away like she did in her previous life.
Calculating the time, she ran away half a month later than in her previous life, and she didn't know if something unexpected would happen.
Lin Yuyao hung up the phone with a heavy heart.
When Song Qin asked her, she told her about it.
Song Qin took a breath after hearing this.
"What era is this? How can there be such evil people?"
"The place where she married was still relatively backward, and the reform and opening-up policy had not yet spread to it."
"Oh my god, it's almost 1990, are there still places where the wind of reform and opening up can't reach?"
Lin Yuyao sighed sadly.
Song Qin was born in a big city, and the farthest place she had ever been to was her ex-boyfriend's home, which was in the countryside a few dozen miles away from the south city.
She didn't know that in some backward places, all kinds of customs that are as poisonous as foot binding are normal.
"There's a mountain between us and there's no road, so how can the wind get in?"
"My God, you and your brother don't look that backward. I thought your hometown was okay."
"Our home is relatively close to the city, so we can paint all kinds of propaganda posters in the village, which is indeed OK. But my friend married into the mountains."
"Huh?" Song Qin was stunned for a while, "Your friend was born in a less backward place, and she married to the mountains?"
Ye Xiaotong's parents' home is in Ye Lian's village, which is only a few miles away from their village, so it is indeed not considered backward.
But the place where she married was really backward.
"Yes, that family is evil and has a bad reputation around them. They couldn't find a partner nearby. They gave money to the matchmaker and found Yejia Village. Ye Xiaotong's parents saw that they offered a high gift, so they agreed to the marriage."
Song Qin was shocked. "Her parents agreed? What about her?"
Lin Yuyao looked at Song Qin and said sadly, "Free love is not popular in the countryside. Parents' orders and matchmaker's words are still preserved. Usually, the matchmaker introduces the couple, the parents agree, and the two young people can almost get married after meeting each other once."
"Don't you need to understand first?"
"No need. It's good enough for you to meet each other before marriage. Some of you have never met each other before marriage."
Song Qin took a deep breath and instantly felt like she had returned to the previous dynasty.
It turns out that after so many years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the wind of reform and opening up has not been able to reach many places.
It turns out that this situation still exists, where people sell their daughters in the name of getting a bride price, without caring about their daughters' life or death.
"Does her family know how much suffering she has endured in her husband's family?"
"I know." Lin Yuyao paused and said, "Maybe he's pretending not to know."
hiss!
What kind of people are these?
"Your daughter is almost beaten to death, and you don't even bother to bring her back?"
Lin Yuyao: "If we bring her back, we have to pay back the betrothal gift. They've already spent all the betrothal gift. Where would we get the money from?"
This is what Ye Xiaotong said to me when she came to find me before she ran away in my previous life.
After hearing this horrific experience, Song Qin smiled bitterly and said, "Although it was her husband's family who beat and scolded her, I think it was her natal family who caused her tragedy."
I thought it was a good thing that her boyfriend was a poor guy and I lived in a big city, otherwise, her parents might marry her to a rubbish guy for the sake of the bride price.
Lin Yuyao agreed with Song Qin's statement.
Fortunately, she is doing well at home and her parents won’t sell her.
"So where is she now?"
Lin Yuyao shook her head, "I don't know either."
"Could he really have been beaten to death or thrown away by his in-laws?"
"I don't know. It's easier to kill someone than to hide the body. Since the body hasn't been found, she should be fine."
"In the mountains and wilderness, it's hard to say. You might get eaten by wolves, tigers or leopards."
Lin Yuyao: “…”
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It's not that backward. There are no wolves, tigers or leopards in the mountains. She told me before that she wanted to run away, and maybe she really did."
"How could the police not find her if she ran away? There is no trace of her escape, it's really hard to say."
this……
All right.
Everyone thinks so.
No wonder that family is in trouble.
Anyway, no one knows whether Ye Xiaotong is dead or has run away. If we arrest that family and ask them to cooperate with the investigation, they will suffer enough.
You deserve it.
The parents who sold her to that family are now active.
Every day they held up banners and cried out, asking the family to return their daughter, demanding compensation, etc.
