Chapter 389 Released
Howard looked at her with some surprise. In his memory, Chun Ya was very timid and always quiet. Now she was speaking so loudly and logically.
He may not know Chun Ya well enough; she is clearly a very courageous girl.
Howard said, "Just wait for me at home, I'll be back in a few days."
He comforted Chun Ya with a few words, and although Chun Ya was reluctant, she could only watch him being taken away.
At that moment, Howard realized that he absolutely could not afford to get into trouble, after all, his wife was waiting for him at home.
He needs to come back soon.
It's just an investigation of him, nothing serious. Anyway, he didn't do such a thing. He just needs to tell the truth to the police.
People around saw Howard being taken away by the police.
They whispered among themselves, "What's going on? Could the rumors be true? Did Howard really kill that woman? Otherwise, why would the police take him away?"
"That's right, Howard must have done something wrong. I really didn't expect that someone who looks so honest could be so wicked."
"What nonsense are you spouting? Howard didn't do anything wrong!" Chun Ya said angrily.
Those people didn't believe it: "We're not making this up, everyone's saying it, and if he hadn't killed someone, why would the police be arresting him?"
“The police didn’t arrest him; they just want to investigate the matter,” Chun Ya explained.
Those people said, "Does it make a difference? He must have done it, that's why the police are investigating him. Otherwise, why wouldn't the police investigate us?"
“You…” Chun Ya was already a little angry.
But those people were still spreading rumors. Realizing that no one would listen to her explanation, the anger in her eyes became even more pronounced.
She picked up a broom and chased them all away: "Get out, all of you get out!"
The crowd could only scatter like birds and beasts.
Seeing that everyone had left, Chun Ya stormed into the house.
After going inside, she wiped away her tears and began packing her things.
She must be well and wait for Howard to come back. She believed that Howard would be perfectly fine.
This matter was supposed to end quickly, but Howard was taken away and hasn't returned for a single day.
There are already many people in the village who like to gossip, and since Howard was taken away by someone this time, the rumors spread even more wildly.
Everyone says Howard is doomed this time; he's implicated in a murder case, so he'll definitely face the death penalty.
This claim is spreading more and more widely.
So everyone took it seriously.
Every time someone came to Chun Ya for confirmation, Chun Ya would be fine, but after realizing that no matter how she explained, it was useless, she simply chased them all away.
The world became quiet as a result.
Ignoring the strange looks from others, she continued to work as usual every day. Although she was all alone, she still wanted to live a fulfilling life. She hoped that when Howard returned, he would see a clean house and a stable emotional state.
However, rumors kept spreading, with some even claiming that Howard had been sentenced to death. Chun Ya alone was unable to reverse these rumors, and she appeared very anxious.
The next day, Chun Ya's mother came looking for her. When Chun Ya saw her, she pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
When she married Howard, her mother demanded a high dowry. Chun Ya thought it was too high and didn't agree, but in the end, Howard still gave her mother a dowry of one hundred yuan.
Chun Ya's mother was dissatisfied with this, but she didn't make a fuss anymore.
In short, their previous marriage was not a very pleasant affair.
Chun Ya felt that she was going to live with Huo Hua, so she didn't think too much about it.
Now, as soon as Chun Ya's mother sees her, she sits down with a thud: "Chun Ya, you've really suffered. You just got married and you've already encountered something like this."
Chun Ya looked at her, pursed her lips, and said, "Mom, I'm doing well. Nothing has happened. Everything is fine."
"What do you mean 'all well'? Stop pretending. Howard killed someone and has been arrested. I'm telling you, he's been sentenced to death, and you've become a widow."
Chun Ya's face immediately turned ugly: "Mom, why are you spreading rumors? Huo Hua is perfectly fine now, he's innocent, that matter has nothing to do with him. I'm telling you, you're not allowed to talk nonsense."
Chun Ya's mother frowned and said, "Why are you being so stubborn, child? Everyone knows this. He committed a crime, the police arrested him, and he will definitely die soon. Murderers pay with their lives, it's only right."
"It's fine if he's dead, but you're still young and can't just let it end like this. I've found you a good marriage; the other party is willing to offer two hundred yuan as a bride price..."
Chun Ya sneered, "After all that talk, you just wanted to sell me off."
Chun Ya's mother quickly said, "Why are you saying such harsh things? What do you mean by selling you? We have no such intention. You can't survive on your own. We're helping you find someone to rely on, and you're not grateful to us?"
Chun Ya looked at her with a cold gaze.
Chun Ya's mother said, "Actually, it's good that Howard is dead. Everything he left behind will be yours. I'm asking you, did he have any savings or anything? Your brother is getting married soon, and he's short of some money."
Chun Ya suddenly felt nauseous. Actually, although her mother wasn't good to her, she wasn't that bad either. At least she had grown up like this all these years. But when something really happened, she realized her mother's true colors.
Her mother doesn't care about her at all; she's just using her.
"You can go now," Chun Ya said.
There's no point in saying anything more. Even if she explains, her mother won't believe her anyway, so it's better to say nothing at all.
Chun Ya's mother's face immediately darkened: "What do you mean by this? Are you not listening to me?"
Chun Ya said with disgust, "I don't want to talk to you anymore. Howard is fine. He hasn't done anything wrong, and he's doing well. Do you understand? Besides, I won't marry anyone else."
Chun Ya's mother said angrily, "I am your mother. Whoever I tell you to marry, you should marry. I see you've grown up now and you don't listen to me at all."
Just as she was about to say something, the door to the room was pushed open. Chun Ya's mother, who was about to explode, paused for a moment after seeing who it was: "You, weren't you dead?"
Howard frowned: "What's going on?"
Chun Ya rushed over excitedly: "Are you alright?"
Howard nodded: "They investigated me, and after finding that I had nothing to do with this, they released me."
