Chapter 390 The Straw That Broke the Camel's Back
The villagers around them couldn't help but feel sad when they saw them like this.
Some people who thought they were not villagers suddenly understood what was going on when they saw the village chief calling the Liu family over.
What a sin——
Old Man Liu squatted beside the corpse and was about to remove the clothes when he was stopped by Old Woman Liu.
"No! It can't be our Ayi's. Yesterday, I was chatting with Ayi yesterday, and he said he would change for the better." As Old Lady Liu spoke, her lips twitched a little.
Suddenly, she recalled the way her son spoke to her yesterday, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
It was as if he was talking to himself like that, as if he was saying goodbye.
As if she had made up her mind, Old Lady Liu suddenly came forward and slowly lifted the piece of clothing covering the corpse.
Only the forehead was seen, and Old Lady Liu covered it with her clothes again.
Because she saw a familiar scar on his forehead, which was her son Liu Yi's.
At that time, Liu Yi was still young and there was no one at home to help take care of the child, so she had to take care of the child while doing farm work.
Liu Yi was a tiny boy at that time and could hardly walk steadily. When he ran towards her, he accidentally fell and hit his forehead on a sharp stone.
The wound required several stitches and left a scar.
So Liu Yi always had bangs on his forehead to cover the scar.
But now that place was wet, and the hair was brushed back, naturally revealing the forehead.
Mrs. Liu suddenly felt weak all over and fell to the ground.
She wanted to cry, but found that she couldn't cry out.
When everyone saw her like this, they knew that this person must be Liu Yi.
Many people in the village have a good impression of Liu Yi. He is good-looking, hardworking, and cheerful to everyone.
Whenever the village asked him for help, he would always do the work with a smile and never complain.
Recently, someone in the village spread some rumors that Liu Yi liked men. No matter how good everyone's impression of him was, they would inevitably be shocked by his weird and unacceptable behavior.
No matter what era or place, everyone wants to stay away from such "oddballs".
But no one wanted to force Liu Yi to death. At most, they were gossiping about him and wondering why a grown man likes other men.
Why could he be so depressed that he jumped into the river?
Actually, as for the Liu Yi incident, although some people are spreading the news, not many people believe it, and the scope of the news is only small, so it is possible that the news will escalate.
Look, even Wu Yanhua only found out about this matter yesterday after she took the initiative to inquire about it.
The fact that Liu Yi likes men seemed to have been spread by someone within the Liu family, otherwise who would have thought of it in this way?
The village chief burst into tears when he saw this sad scene. He had watched Liu Yi grow up since he was a child, so how could he be so depressed?
Everyone assumes that Liu Yi committed suicide, because even if he accidentally fell into the river, the water was actually very shallow near the river bank, and he would not have touched the ground unless he walked toward the center.
If you are not determined to die, there is no way you will not be able to get up.
The young man who came to help Fu Tinghua get clothes hurried over and saw Old Man Liu and Old Lady Liu sitting beside the corpse crying.
He silently handed the coat to Fu Tinghua, then stood quietly aside, watching the sad scene in front of him.
It was so heartbreaking. Liu Yi remained forever stuck at the age of 26.
Wu Yanhua and her third daughter-in-law Chen Sufen were preparing lunch for the family when her eldest daughter-in-law Zhang Xiaohua suddenly rushed in and said, "Mom, the youngest son of the Liu family is gone."
Hearing the noise, Fu Yanju also came out of the room. She was looking for a coat for her daughter Chen Wan'er. It was too cold today and Chen Wan'er was wearing too little.
"What's gone?" Wu Yanhua still didn't understand what it meant.
She still hasn't recovered from hearing the explosive news yesterday that Liu Yi likes men.
But think about it, not many people mentioned this matter, which means it is probably unconfirmed.
Wu Yanhua didn't quite believe it, so after returning home she didn't dare to gossip about this matter with her family.
She had a very good impression of this young man Liu Yi.
When she came back yesterday, she carefully recalled the scene when she just met Liu Yi. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was impossible for this boy who was almost the same age as her son to like men.
This is outrageous too. I don't know who spread it.
When she met Liu Yi yesterday, she shouldn't have looked at Liu Yi with that strange expression. Liu Yi obviously felt her resistance, and the expression on her face became obviously lost.
After returning home, Wu Yanhua carefully recalled the scene of meeting Liu Yi and became more and more regretful.
So when she heard her eldest daughter-in-law say that Liu Yi was gone, she didn't react for a moment to what had happened.
"Mom, Liu Yi jumped into the river. I heard that he jumped last night. The villagers have all gone to Liu's house to help. Tell me, how could such a good person suddenly..."
As Zhang Xiaohua was talking, she suddenly couldn't continue and her voice choked with sobs.
The main thing is that this person is someone around them. Even if they don’t see him every day, they can still see him three or four times a week.
The person was fine yesterday, but he was gone today. Everyone felt sorry for him.
After Wu Yanhua heard what her eldest daughter-in-law said, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
"Mom, mom, what's wrong with you?" Chen Sufen, who was beside her, hurriedly supported Wu Yanhua.
Thinking of the scene when she met Liu Yi last night, Wu Yanhua opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.
"Why, why did he jump into the river?" Wu Yanhua looked up at her eldest daughter-in-law and asked.
Zhang Xiaohua had no idea why her mother-in-law would be so excited after hearing the news of Liu Yi's death.
"I don't know. I just saw him the day before yesterday. He greeted me with a smile. How could he be so upset?" Zhang Xiaohua couldn't understand it either.
Old Lady Liu came to Wu Yanhua to discuss the marriage of Fu Yanju and Liu Yi. Apart from Su He and his wife, Fu Dajun, and Fu Yanju herself, no one else in the Fu family knew about it.
So they won't associate this matter with Fu Yanju.
Fortunately, no one knew about it, not even the villagers, otherwise people who didn't know the truth would have thought that Liu Yi jumped into the river because he didn't want to marry Fu Yanju.
But now is not the time to think about these things. The dead are the greatest.
Wu Yanhua felt very guilty. She shouldn't have avoided Liu Yi's eyes when talking to him yesterday, although she didn't mean to show any discrimination or disdain.
Yesterday, there was a person who was so lively standing in front of her and greeting her, but now he is gone. Wu Yanhua couldn't help but feel very regretful.
If she had known what would happen yesterday, she shouldn't have avoided him.
She should have a good chat with him, show some concern for him, and talk to him more. Wouldn't that stop Liu Yi from being so upset?
