Chapter 42 The Murderer



When everyone heard the news, they were all shocked.

Although the Su family was tyrannical, no one had ever died. How could this be...

Su Cheng walked out of the house: "Wan! Stop slandering me! When did my daughter kill your son?"

Wan pointed at Su Xiaoxiao in the room and said, "I'm not kidding! Your daughter killed him!"

Su Xiaoxiao walked out slowly and said, "You said I killed him, do you have any evidence?"

Mrs. Wan was extremely emotional: "My son has no grudges against anyone, except you! Who else could have killed him if not you?"

Su Cheng asked impatiently, "When did my daughter become enemies with your son?"

Wan pointed at Su Xiaoxiao and said angrily, "She kicked my son off the ox cart a while ago!"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Well, it is true, so what? Isn't it too far-fetched to conclude that I am the murderer just based on this?"

Mrs. Wan was so excited that she gasped for breath: "You said it yourself...you don't like my son!"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I did say that."

Wan cried to the crowd, "Listen, folks! She admitted it! She doesn't like my son and she doesn't even let him ride in the ox cart!"

"I don't let your son ride in the ox cart because..." Su Xiaoxiao stopped talking halfway.

"Why? Tell me! You can't tell me! You didn't like my son, so you killed him! You have such a cruel heart!"

Wan cried until she was hoarse.

The way everyone looked at Su Pangya changed. Just because no one was killed in the past, it didn’t mean that there wouldn’t be any deaths now, right?

What’s more, their family is the worst bully in the whole village. If it wasn’t Su Pangya who killed him, could it be someone else?

"He can even do something like murder. He is such a piece of shit!"

"Why did such a disaster happen to our village?"

"Poor Wang Laizi."

Wang Laizi behaved badly and had some bad habits, but it was a human life after all. It was okay if he lost it himself, but it was a bit too much to be killed by someone else.

No one wants to live in the same village with a murderer.

At this time, another villager said, "The Su family is not from our village! They are from Yangliu Village next door! After this incident, in my opinion, in addition to reporting to the police, we also have to drive their family back to Yangliu Village!"

It would be great if we could get rid of these bullies! The village head and Old Li arrived together.

After listening to it, the two of them almost understood what was going on.

Old Li advised: "Everyone, please be patient. Daya is not that kind of person! She won't kill anyone!"

"Old Li! Why are you speaking up for Su Daya? Did she do you some favor?"

"If he hadn't benefited him, why would he let his wife teach the Su family how to farm?"

"Yes, the Li family and the Su family have been getting really close these days!"

"Old Li, what good did she do for you? Wang Laizi is a life! Don't protect a murderer!"

Old Li was furious after hearing these insults. He pointed at those people and said, "I don't know who is a murderer or not! I only know that if it wasn't for Daya, your New Year's goods would have been snatched away by the hooligans in town!"

Old Li told the whole story of Su Xiaoxiao's vicious fight with Zhang Dao.

Su Cheng said, "That's right! The Su family offended Zhang Dao because of this matter. We even went to the clinic and had a fight with Zhang Dao! My hand was injured!"

Everyone looked at each other.

Wan gritted her teeth and said, "You are in the same group with her! Of course you are on her side! Besides you guys, who else has seen that group of people in town? It's all up to you to say it!"

Everyone: That seems to make sense.

Wan continued, "What kind of person is Su Pangya? She is lucky enough not to extort money from the villagers. How can she help them? Old Li, you took advantage of yourself! But you dragged the whole village into this!"

Old Li was very anxious: "Everything I said was true! If there is even a single lie, let me... let me be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

After this solemn oath was uttered, everyone fell silent.

In fact, they knew Old Li's character well, otherwise they would not have trusted Old Li to buy New Year's goods for them.

Because the incident happened suddenly and was related to Su Pangya, they began to have some doubts.

But Lao Li swore such a poisonous oath——

Did they really blame Su Pangya wrongly? Wan said angrily: "Even if she really helped you get your things back, so what? It's true that she has a grudge against my son! Old Li! You were there that day! It was your ox cart! Tell us yourself, did she kick my son off?"

"This..." Old Li couldn't deny it.

"Aunt Wan."

Little Wu squeezed in from behind the villagers. She pinched her sleeves tightly and said palely, "I was there that day. Daya kicked your son off the ox cart because--"

Su Xiaoxiao interrupted her coldly: "Mr. Wu! When is it your turn to interfere in my Su Daya's affairs?"

"Daya!" Xiao Wu looked at Su Xiaoxiao with red eyes. She understood that Su Daya did it on purpose. Su Daya stopped her from telling the truth because she was worried that her reputation would be damaged and she would be criticized in the future.

But she couldn't just watch Su Daya being slandered as a murderer.

She didn't believe that Su Daya was that kind of person.

Su Xiaoxiao walked directly to Mrs. Wan, and in the bitter snow, she looked down at her, "You know your son's character very well. How many people want to beat him to death? You yourself often cursed at him, saying that if you had known you would have such a useless son, you would have drowned him in the river—"

Wan scolded, "I'm his mother! How could I possibly kill my own son?"

Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands: "Who knows?"

"You——" Wan was so angry that she fell backwards!

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Wan and said, "You keep saying that I am the murderer. Then let me ask you, when did your son die? Who found him? What was the murder weapon? Who saw me kill him?"

Wan said, "He...he was found by Qi Niang... Chun Ya...at the back door of my house when it just started snowing...his body was still warm!"

Su Xiaoxiao had been observing Wan's expression and knew that Wan was not lying.

The head of the village spoke up: "Su Daya, where were you when it first snowed?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I'm on my way to the back mountain to collect firewood."

The village head asked, "Is there anyone who can testify for you?"

Su Xiaoxiao's gaze passed over the crowd and fell on Su Jinniang, who was at the outermost position.

"Mom, let's go back. There's nothing to see." Su Jinniang held Fang's arm and said to Fang.

"Wait!" Su Xiaoxiao said, staring at Su Jinniang without blinking, "Village head, I think I know who the murderer is."

Good morning
