Chapter 21 Unsolved Mysteries
The next morning at five o'clock.
Baoya, a neighbor near the Shen family, rushed to the public toilet with his pants lifted up to solve an important matter. Before he reached the toilet, he couldn't hold it anymore. He looked around and saw no one. He rushed to a pit and urinated.
Huh? Pit? Where did the big pit come from?
Baoya looked around blankly. Why did he feel that this place was familiar and strange at the same time?
Not far in front was the public toilet, and behind was his home, and there was a big pit in the middle?
No, in the middle was the Shen family!!!
Baoya slapped himself and rubbed his eyes. It was not a dream. The pit was still there, but the Shen family was gone! I saw the house in the toilet last night...ah! Could it be that I saw...the ghosts of the Shen and Liu families? A gust of wind blew, and Baoya was even more panicked. When he looked up, he felt that something was shaking not far away.
"Ah——"
Baoya, who was urinating everywhere, had a strong brain. He was so scared that he couldn't pee. His legs were shaking, and a scream echoed throughout the area. He pulled up his belt and crawled back. He didn't care about the taboo topic and couldn't talk nonsense. He ran and shouted.
"There is a ghost! Help, the Shen family disappeared——"
Baoya's words and experience made the Shen family immediately a hot search on this street. All those who heard the news rushed over to see the original Shen family and the big pit it is now. There are many different opinions.
When everyone learned what the Shen family did last night, combined with what Bao Ya said, they all thought that Bao Ya really saw something dirty.
So the most popular rumor was that the Shen family offended Liu family's Ah Piao and was punished, and that the dead people of the Liu family came back to avenge their only bloodline Liu Xinghe.
The house disappeared overnight, and the big hole left behind was the best proof.
People who don't believe in supernatural powers can't explain all this, so they can only think that it is another unsolved mystery in the world.
Although the four olds were being destroyed, most people still attributed it to supernatural powers in their hearts.
One person spread it, and the more it was spread, the more outrageous it became. Some people even said that Liu Ruyan and Liu Dafa became officials down there, so they were able to quietly take away the house and the foundation.
Everyone was thinking whether they should quietly go to the grave to pay their respects and build relationships.
It wasn't just one or two people who thought this way, many people thought so. After all, seeing is believing. As the saying goes, the Shen family is the real proof.
In the end, everyone unanimously agreed on two things.
One is that the Shen family can no longer be contacted. One day, they might be implicated by his family and their house might be gone in a flash.
The second thing is that Liu Xinghe should not be bullied. Liu Ruyan and Liu Dafa might come knocking on their door. There are "people" behind this girl, so it is most important to build good relationships.
When Liu Xinghe had breakfast and was on her way to the steel plant, she found that several people were looking at her curiously and excitedly on the road, and some people were looking at her from behind with a hint of awe in their eyes.
Liu Xinghe touched her face strangely. Was she acting strange today?
She turned around and looked behind her, but there was nothing there.
What happened? Or did the Shen family's matter ferment?
Liu Xinghe shrugged her shoulders, not caring at all. It wouldn't affect her anyway. She walked quickly to the steel factory next to her and met Director Zhou's family of three at the door. Director Zhou introduced her and Zhou Xiaomei to each other and first gave Liu Xinghe the signed transfer agreement for the right to use the house of the slacking team.
She also gave her the certification document confirming the agreement of the team's agreement to the transaction between the two.
Liu Xinghe was relieved only after she took the things and put them away.
Zhou Xiaomei was not afraid of strangers. She took Liu Xinghe's arm and walked inside. While walking, she shared with her the people and things in the Youth Home of the Moyu Team, and also shared some good people in the supply and marketing cooperative, what kind of personalities they had, and so on.
Liu Xinghe also listened carefully and took notes. As for whether it was really as she said, she still needed to contact and judge by herself. She only remembered objective information and listened to the conclusions drawn by others subjectively.
The most urgent thing was to deal with work matters. She took Director Zhou and his family to the office of Director Qian. Director Qian saw that she came so quickly with people, and was a little worried that she was deceived, so he found an excuse to pull her aside to ask questions.
"Xinghe, is the person you found reliable? Once this procedure is completed, the work will have nothing to do with you. You must get the transaction items first."
Liu Xinghe smiled gratefully: "Director, don't worry, I got them. That person is Director Zhou of the grocery store. We know each other well. Director Zhang of the police station also witnessed our transaction privately. It's safe."
"Okay, as long as you know it."
Director Qian felt relieved after hearing this answer. The two returned to the office to start formal work.
After learning that Zhou Xiaomei's household registration is still in the fishing team of Qingyong Commune, Sichuan Province, Director Qian felt more at ease. This child of the Liu family will not suffer any loss.
The fact that the household registration was there meant that all the formalities could not be completed today. Even if the girl from the Liu family was deceived, she still had a chance to save herself.
Of course, from the looks of it, the girl from the Liu family knew very well that she was definitely not the one being deceived, but the other party who had to worry.
Of course, this was none of his business, he only cared about the girl from the Liu family.
Director Qian simply registered Zhou Xiaomei, then took a pen and wrote a household registration receipt for Zhou Xiaomei, stamped it with the official seal of the steel factory, and passed it on.
"Okay, take this document to your team leader to handle the household registration issue. After the household registration is transferred, you can go to the factory to officially start work."
"Thank you, Director Qian."
Director Zhou's family happily took the household registration certificate. Many educated youth who went to the countryside worked hard to get such a certificate. With this certificate, they can return to the city.
Zhou Xiaomei even cried, which was considered tears of joy. The only daughter of the group was spoiled and became a love-brained dog. She suffered a lot and her family "bled". It was also a big price she paid for the water in her head.
Seeing that they were quite excited, Liu Xinghe simply told them to meet at the entrance of the bus station at 1pm and then went to say goodbye to Director Wu. She took out a box of homemade cookies from her cloth bag to express her gratitude.
After leaving the steel plant, Liu Xinghe went to the cemetery to pay tribute to her grandfather and mother.
When she arrived, she was surprised to find that there were many fresh tributes in front of her grandfather and mother's graves, including melon seeds, peanuts, fruit candies and cakes. There were even traces of someone secretly burning paper.
Liu Xinghe squatted down, pinching the ashes of burnt paper on the tombstone with his hands, and his face was full of doubts: "Huh? Am I not the only relative of the Liu family in this world? How did all these come from?"
It was obvious that these things were just put up today. Could there be other members of the Liu family?
He scratched his head and searched his memory, but he couldn't find any relevant information, so he didn't think about it anymore. He put the offerings on the table and sat down to chat for a while.
The two neighbors who were about to sneak over to pay tribute to the Liu family father and daughter and who were suspected to be underground officials stood behind the tree and looked at Liu Xinghe anxiously.
"When will this girl from the Liu family leave? We came at such an unfortunate time."
Another companion said, "Wait, I must pay my respects today. You don't know, I just went out and met Lao Wang from my house next door. She said that she got the news and came to pay her respects. After she went back, her annoying old woman choked her when she drank water. She was sincere and it really came true."
"Hey, let's go, let's go quickly."
The two of them wore a big straw hat, carried a basket, bent over and ran quickly to the cemetery like thieves.
Halfway through the walk, Liu Xinghe suddenly turned around and took a look at the Liu family's cemetery.
She immediately saw two sneaky people there.
Liu Xinghe stepped back and saw that they were two strangers. He really had no impression of them and was even more confused. He asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"
The two people who were muttering to themselves with their eyes closed were startled by the voice. They opened their eyes and saw that it was Liu Xinghe who came back. They laughed awkwardly.
One of them who was quick-witted said, "We are your mother's friends. We are here to pay our respects. We'll leave first."
"Yes, yes, yes."
The two quickly picked up the basket on the ground, put on straw hats, and ran away.
"Hey, you..."
Why are you running!
The two people were also very fast. They disappeared in the blink of an eye. Liu Xinghe was full of question marks. He looked at the two sweet potatoes in front of the tombstone, shook his head, and went back.
