Chapter 32 Murder
"sister in law,"
Seeing Han Yuemei coming over, Xu Huimin greeted her nervously and said to Han Changping,
"Xiao Si, I'll come over tomorrow morning."
After saying that, she hurried away.
Han Yuemei held the little witch's hand and watched Xu Huimin walk away. After a while, she turned back to look at him and asked,
"Xiao Si, what's the matter with her coming tomorrow?"
"Oh, I'm going to collect Acanthopanax senticosus and hire her to help me weigh and cook."
"Xiao Si, what do you think of her appearance?"
Han Yuemei's sudden words startled Han Changping. He looked at Han Yuemei for a long time before carefully asking,
"Second sister, you haven't heard anything, have you?"
"Oh……"
Han Yuemei chuckled, let go of the little witch in her hand and let her run and play alone.
"You want to ask about her and your brother-in-law?"
"Second sister, you know everything?"
Han Yuemei did not answer, but looked towards the fence that was being dismantled.
"Do you know whose house this yard belongs to?"
"It's ours, and it will all belong to ours from now on."
Han Changping walked over.
"Second sister, I'm sorry, I thought you didn't know about this, so?"
"Silly boy."
Han Yuemei reached back and gently rubbed her silly brother's head.
"You'll understand once you get married. Women are the most sensitive. There was something wrong with your brother-in-law those days.
Later, I found a note from Xu Huimin in his book, and I understood everything."
"Second sister, please don't overthink it. I promise that my second brother-in-law and Xu Huimin have never done anything to let you down."
"I know,"
Han Yuemei smiled lightly.
"I know your second brother-in-law too well. He has the will but not the courage. He would never risk his career for any woman. But, Xiao Si."
Han Changping nodded quickly and looked at her Han Yuemei.
"You can't hire Second Sister Xu Huimin to control it, but this woman is definitely a problem. You'd better be more cautious. It's getting late, go back and eat."
Han Changping nodded again hurriedly.
"Don't worry, Second Sister. I just feel sorry for her and want to help her once. Once things have calmed down, I will find a suitable person."
It was late, and Han Yuemei was still waiting for Wang Zhilin to come back.
Only after Han Changping's persuasion did Han Yuemei go to bed.
Han Changping, who couldn't sleep, walked towards the house he bought with a flashlight. The mountain village was quiet.
In this era of scarce resources, most people would chat at the door after dinner and then go home to sleep.
Having been here for quite some time, Han Changping has gradually gotten used to and started to like this quietness.
In a world without mobile phones and computers, and without the bright lights and wine, life has become more simple and textured.
But just as Han Changping walked around and was about to find a place to drain the water, a dark shadow suddenly slipped in.
He quickly hid behind the dilapidated house. Although it was dark at night, he could still see clearly with the help of the moon in the sky that the person coming towards him was a woman.
Just when I was wondering who it could be at this late hour, suddenly a dark shadow ran towards me like a cheetah.
As soon as they ran into the yard, the man opened his two big hands and held the delicate woman firmly in his arms.
"Little darling, are you impatient?"
"Let me go first, I have something to tell you."
The woman was very reluctant to push away the man who was holding her, but she didn't expect that the man was like an impatient monkey, and he kept trying to get her to do it. When it seemed that the woman was about to be unable to withstand it, she felt that he was just a bit too aggressive.
“Ouch…”
With a scream, the man finally let go of the woman's hands and jumped out.
"Why are you still biting me?"
The man asked the woman angrily.
"Let's not have any contact anymore. Let's break up, shall we?"
The woman who was released spoke regardless of the man's questioning.
"What? Do you have a new lover?"
When the man heard the woman's words, he ignored the pain in his arm and moved forward to question her.
"No, I just don't want to live in fear anymore. I plan to divorce him and leave Erhe Village.
I’m still young and don’t want to spend my whole life in this place.”
"divorce?"
Obviously the woman's words scared the man.
"Have you thought it through?"
"Whether I want to make up for it or not is my own business. It's none of your business. We'll break up from now on."
The woman seemed to be in a sullen tone and was about to leave, but was pulled back by the man.
"I know you blame me in your heart, why don't you just be patient and wait until my child is older.
I'll divorce that old cucumber at home and live with you, how about that? "
"Forget it. I've heard so much of this that my ears are callused. While I'm still young and can still have children, I'd rather marry a cripple than continue living with him."
The woman shook her hands vigorously and ran out.
This time the man did not try to keep her. After watching the woman run away, he just sighed and disappeared into the night.
After seeing both of them running away, Han Changping slowly walked out from the gable of the house.
The woman just now is the daughter-in-law of the old village chief. She is a very pretty young woman.
She has been married for so many years but has never given birth to a child. I think there is something wrong with the old village chief's son.
The man just now was Zhou Dalai, who was a playboy.
His wife is an honest, law-abiding, hardworking woman who doesn't care about his messy affairs.
Therefore, he had no intention of changing his wife; his real intention was just to have fun.
But who would have known that when Han Changping led the old yellow cow out to graze at daybreak, he saw an explosion in the village.
The originally quiet mountain village suddenly became noisy, with panic on people's faces. They ran in groups of three or two towards the old village chief's house.
Just when Han Changping was surprised, a siren suddenly sounded, and a white police car was seen speeding towards here.
"Auntie, what happened?"
Seeing an old lady running out in a hurry, Han Changping asked her hurriedly.
"Oh my! Someone's been murdered! I heard the old village chief's son chopped his own wife to pieces with a knife! Oh my...what's going on?"
The old village chief’s son killed his wife?
Han Changping suddenly thought of what he heard last night. Could it be that the woman went back to file for divorce and was killed by the man?
Han Changping soon found out the truth about this matter, which was almost the same as he had guessed.
The woman went back to file for divorce, but the man chopped off her head.
It was not until this time that the villagers learned that this woman had been abused by the village chief's son all the time, simply because she had not given birth to a child.
The village chief's son was taken away by the police, and the news spread throughout the town in a short time.
This was originally a murder case, and logically speaking, it had nothing to do with Han Changping.
As a result, when Han Changping was working in the yard, a man sneaked up from behind him.
"Xiao Si, Xiao Si."
I turned around suddenly and saw Zhou Dali running towards me with a panicked look on his face.
He grabbed Han Changping and looked around quickly. Seeing that there was no one around, he pulled him towards the gable of the house.
"Xiao Si, something happened."
Han Changping was stunned.
"Are you talking about the murder of the village chief's daughter-in-law?"
"Um,"
Zhou Dalai nodded, and Han Changping was a little confused. What did this have to do with him?
"Xiao Si, you said you asked me to beat up that bastard Li Jiazhi for you, and I did, right?"
"Brother Zhou, what exactly do you want to say?"
"Xiao Si, do me a favor. Find an opportunity to sneak into the old village chief's house and find the IOU I wrote to that woman, okay?"
Han Changping was stunned and shocked when he heard this.
"You want me to help you steal things? Do you think it's appropriate for a grown-up like me?"
"Xiao Si, I beg you, if the old village chief sees that IOU, I won't be able to hide my affair with that woman."
Oh……
Did Zhou Dalai come to me for help because he was sure that only Han Changping knew about this matter?
Seeing that Han Changping didn't say anything, Zhou Dalai's sinister face was revealed.
"Xiao Si, don't forget, if the news of your brother-in-law and Xu Huimin gets out, he'll lose his job."
If he hadn't threatened Han Changping, he wouldn't have helped him steal. Now that he was using this matter to threaten Han Changping, he was even less afraid.
"I'm sorry, Brother Zhou, I can't help you with this. Also, if you dare to bite and bark everywhere, then you'll see who will be the unlucky one in the end."
