"Huo Jue, your uncle has been telling me that as long as Huo Chen reforms himself, he will be able to come back!"
"If I go, it will only cause trouble for Achen."
Li Mei laughed sarcastically: "He said you told him this, but I don't believe it!"
"I really underestimated you before. After you went to school, you even became very clever and made your uncle obey you."
Huo Jue never thought that this tragedy still happened because of Huo Chen!
"You killed your uncle, and you never thought about how Huo Chen would live his life after he got out?"
Li Mei leaned back in her chair as if all her strength had been drained out. "So what you're going to say next is the real reason why I'm looking for you."
"You and Huo Chen are brothers from the same clan after all. Since I have committed a crime, I will definitely not be able to survive. I understand the principle of one life for another."
"Huo Jue, Huo Chen, please come out from the back. I'll trouble you, even for your uncle's sake, to take good care of him."
Li Mei raised her eyes and glanced at him: "These are my last words."
"I see."
Huo Jue stood up and was about to leave, but stopped the moment he turned around and gave Li Mei one last look: "Aunt, do you regret doing these things?"
Li Mei looked up but didn't answer.
Huo Jue also walked out of the house at this moment.
Wen Xia Nuan stood up from her chair and looked at him: "Is everything resolved?"
"Your uncle..."
"She did it."
"Then why did she kill your uncle?"
"Combined with what the police told me before, it seems that Li Mei wanted to use her connections and money to get Huo Chen released sooner, but her uncle wouldn't let her, saying that doing so would increase Huo Chen's sentence. The two of them got into an argument, and that's what made Li Mei want to kill him."
Huo Jue responded, "A Nuan, this case should be closed."
Wen Xia Nuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Ajue, let's go back then."
"Don't tell grandma about it."
Huo Jue's eyes fell on Wen Xia Nuan, and she nodded, "I know."
No one expected something like this to happen so close to the Chinese New Year.
Wen Xia Nuan held his hand as they walked out. Her originally uneasy heart gradually calmed down at this moment: "Since we happened to be in town, let's buy some New Year's goods to take back."
She smiled and said, "I don't see that the family has prepared any New Year's goods. Besides, it's not good to live in someone else's house and not buy anything."
Huo Jue nodded: "I'll do as you say."
The two of them went to the supply and marketing cooperative and picked out a lot of things.
When he came out again, he had bags in his hands.
"go home!"
In the village, the news of Huo Jue's return spread like a gust of wind.
The captain was the first to find Huo Jue: "What's going on? Was it your aunt who did it?"
"It's her, Captain. The town's Public Security Bureau will close the case soon. Let's not talk about this matter in the village. After all, my grandmother is old."
The captain knew that the old lady was too old to bear the pressure, so he nodded and said, "You are right, that makes sense."
He curled his lips and said, "No one wants this kind of thing to happen in the village."
The team leader sighed and said, "Our village will probably lag far behind others in this year's selection."
He had originally thought that he would be able to receive praise at the end of the year thanks to the wheat seed experiment that Wen Xia Nuan had left behind, but once this happened, all his plans were ruined!
He sighed, looked at Huo Jue and smiled: "Then I will go back to the village committee first."
As soon as Wen Xia Nuan returned home, the Wen family members all ran up to her.
"Ah Nuan, do you understand the situation clearly?"
"Yeah, what's going on?"
Wen Xia Nuan was surrounded by her brothers and knew their concerns.
He didn't hide it this time and quickly said it out.
After hearing this, Wen's mother frowned, covered her heart with her hands and remained silent.
Wen Xia Nuan was attentive and noticed that something was wrong with her mother.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Wen Xia Nuan looked at her and said, "If you have something to say, tell me."
"Ah Nuan, how can these people from the Huo family be so scary?"
She grabbed her daughter's hand and said, "Then Huo Jue won't..."
"No."
Wen Xia Nuan retorted without thinking: "Ajue won't do that, Mom. He is different from the other people in the Huo family."
"Even though you say that, I'm still feeling very nervous."
Mother Wen sighed and said, "If your third brother hadn't insisted on coming here, how could our family come to this unfamiliar place?"
She clutched her chest and said, "I really want to go back now so I don't have to worry every day!"
"We are all here, what are you afraid of?"
Father Wen walked in from the doorway, looked at his wife and said, "Just spend the New Year here with your in-laws with peace of mind. I will make sure that our whole family returns home safely."
Chen Yanfang stood aside and said, "Yes, Mom, don't worry. This is where I grew up. This is just a one-time thing."
"If you're worried, you can stay at my house."
Mother Wen heard her daughter-in-law's words and waved her hand, "No need. I'm used to staying in this family. I'm not used to leaving so suddenly."
Chen Yanfang nodded: "Okay."
Father Wen waved towards his third son and daughter and said, "You two can take care of your own business. Your mother and I will be alone for a while."
After the sons and daughters left, Mother Wen patted him and asked, "Is Huo Jue and A Nuan's marriage really going to be finalized?"
"Weren't you very satisfied with him before? How come you want to regret it in the blink of an eye?"
Mother Wen glared at her husband unhappily. She said in a tight voice, "Don't I know that something like this will happen in the Huo family?"
She sighed, "I want to know, how could I possibly hand Ah Nuan over to such a family?"
"Now that it's all decided, don't think too much about it!"
"Well, it's all settled, what else can I say?"
The sounds from inside the house continued to be heard. Wen Xia Nuan eavesdropped and finally felt relieved.
"I told you a long time ago, Dad is here, don't panic."
Wen Xiaxing stood aside, watching his sister crouching down and eavesdropping, and said helplessly, "A Nuan, you are such a coward!"
"Second brother, what do you know!"
Wen Xia Nuan knew what was going on, and she straightened her back. "Isn't this just a precaution? You know our father is a henpecked husband. If mother cries a little, he'll relent and cancel my marriage. Then I'll be finished, right?"
Wen Xiaxing glanced at her and said, "Do you really want to marry Huo Jue? Don't forget that he has a younger brother and a cousin!"
"Ah Nuan, I heard Huo Jue doesn't have a good relationship with his brother and cousin. Aren't you afraid they'll cause trouble after their transformation?"
