Chapter 177
Lin Shuyue sat next to Hang Jiabai, and they were both speechless for a moment.
I have to say, Lin Shuyue was shocked at this moment. Cao Manjin had a very hard life and was very miserable. She looked okay, but she was not really that beautiful.
Hang Jiabai couldn't figure out why Hang Jiaqing liked her. The three of them were speechless. After a while, Hang Jiaqing said, "No, brother, didn't you have a partner before?"
Hang Jiabai remembered it very clearly. Six or seven years ago, when he was in high school, he came here during a summer vacation and saw Hang Jiaqing writing a letter to a girl. He secretly asked her about it, and Hang Jiaqing said that she was his comrade-in-arms and his girlfriend.
Hang Jiabai asked about their progress, and Hang Jiaqing said that they were already discussing marriage, but they had not yet told Hang Yuhua and Yin Xin. But there was no news afterwards. He asked once, but Hang Jiaqing remained silent for a long time and said nothing. Later, Hang Jiabai never asked again.
"She's gone. Six years ago, she was beaten to death by poachers while chasing them." Saihanba borders Mongolia Province, and there are many wild animals on the grasslands on the Mongolian side.
After the trees on the dam grew up, wild animals gradually came here to settle down.
Over the years, they have multiplied to a considerable number. In the woods behind their yard, after the snow, sometimes when standing in the yard, you can see pheasants and rabbits walking, and there are also many squirrels on the trees.
"We were not from the same forest area, but we happened to be patrolling in that area. When we ran to the place, she was already dead. She had been stabbed 30 times."
"The poachers didn't go far away. Each of them had a gun they made themselves. When we met, a fierce battle broke out."
"That time, two people were missing from our patrol team. The poachers were afraid of attracting more people, so they ran away after we fell to the ground. Just when we were about to bleed to death, Cao Manjin arrived and sent us to a place where we could contact the outside world."
"She was a skinny little woman. She carried five of us grown men on her back to the bushes by the roadside and went to find someone to rescue us. After we were rescued, she went back and carried my partner and the two dead comrades back to the camp.
”
The fur of wild animals is valuable at all times, especially in the northern regions. It is extremely cold in autumn, so the rich have started a trend of wearing various animal furs, and for thousands of years, there seems to be no change.
Because the fur of wild animals can be sold at a high price, many people began to hunt animals. The more precious the animal, the more valuable it is. What's more, in the eyes of poachers, wild animals are treasures from head to toe. Their skins can be sold for money, and their meat can also be worth a lot.
Poachers have become more rampant over the years.
"Cao Manjin went to look for her daughter." Hang Jiaqing added from the side.
Lin Shuyue keenly heard the way Hang Jiaqing addressed his girlfriend and Cao Manjin. She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Brother, are you sure you like her instead of being grateful to her?"
This was the first sentence Lin Shuyue said to Hang Jiaqing when they met tonight. Hang Jiaqing looked up a little confused.
Lin Shuyue and Hang Jiabai looked at each other again, and Hang Jiabai couldn't help but pinched his brows: "Let me ask you this, if your partner is not dead, but alive, even if he only has one breath, lying in bed as a vegetable, and Cao Manjin rescued you from the forest, what would you choose?"
"What you're asking is nonsense. If my partner was still alive, would I need to choose?" Hang Jiaqing blurted out this sentence, and as soon as he said it, he was stunned.
Lin Shuyue was silent. She had heard before that some people were not very good at relationships and often confused affection or other things with liking and love. She always thought those words were nonsense. How could a person not know what his or her own feelings were?
She finally opened her eyes today. It turns out that there are really people who don’t know!
Hang Jiabai glanced at the interrogation room and pulled Hang Jiaqing up: "Come on, let's go outside and have a cigarette."
Sometimes, Hang Jiaqing still dotes on his younger brother. He feels inexplicably guilty towards Hang Jiabai. This is probably because he grew up with his parents, while his younger brother could only grow up with his grandparents.
Although the conditions here are bad, it is still different to be with my parents.
The two went out together. They were both of similar height, but Hang Jiaqing was a little thinner than Hang Jiabai.
The two of them didn't walk far. After all, the wind was too strong and it hurt on their faces.
Lin Shuyue was right next to the windowsill and could clearly hear the conversation between the two.
Hang Jiabai lit a cigarette for Hang Jiaqing. Because he has lived in this cold place all year round, Hang Jiaqing's job requires him to patrol outside regardless of the cold or heat, so he has a strong addiction to smoking. When Hang Jiabai gave it to him, he smoked, even though he had not finished the cigarette he just smoked.
Hang Jiabai also smoked a cigarette. He asked, "Brother, let me ask you, do you feel bad when you see Cao Manjin giving birth to another child?"
Hang Jiaqing rolled his eyes at him and said, "Are you crazy? They are a legitimate couple, and having a child is a natural thing. Why should I be upset?"
Hang Jiabai looked at Hang Jiaqing with an expression that was even more indescribable: "Then let me ask you again, if Cao Manjin didn't want to live with that bastard Wei this time, would you marry her?"
After hearing this, Hang Jiaqing fell silent. A short-haired girl in green training clothes appeared in his mind. She was holding a hat in her left hand and a handful of goose yellow dandelions in her right hand. She seemed to be walking towards him slowly.
Hang Jiaqing had never thought about living with Cao Manjin.
His silence said it all. He almost choked on the cigarette. "Then tell me, how do you like her? Do you miss her when you haven't seen her for a long time? Do you miss her when you can't sleep at night? Do you dream about being with her? When you see her tired from work, do you feel sorry for her and want to help her? When you see her being bullied, do you get angry?"
"When you see that she is not doing well, do you have the urge to tell her to divorce and live with me?"
Hang Jiaqing answered his brother's questions one by one, saying: "I don't miss her very much. I don't miss her when I can't see her for a long time, nor do I miss her when I can't sleep at night. I have never thought about her in my dreams."
"I felt bad when I saw her working so hard." Hang Jiaqing thought for a moment and then said, "But when I saw her working with her child, I felt even more bad for the child. I did think about helping her, but I always told my mother and let her handle it. I never thought about stepping in."
"I get angry when I see her being bullied, but I also get angry when I see others being bullied. I did think about asking her to divorce, but I never thought about asking her to marry me."
Hang Jiaqing had the urge to get married only once in his life, and that was with his girlfriend Zheng Moli.
"Then when did you realize that you liked Cao Manjin?" Hang Jiabai took bigger puffs of his cigarette.
Hang Jiaqing scratched his head. "Just in the past week or two, the new guy in our team found a girlfriend at the bottom of the dam. Every day when we patrol, he tells us how he feels about his girlfriend. I think I like Cao Manjin too. I don't want to go home these days. I feel like I am a dirty person. I covet someone else's wife."
Hang Jiabai couldn't help it and scolded Hang Jiaqing: "I think you are too idle and have nothing to do, so you think too much. You are really half-hearted. I don't think you like Cao Manjin that much, at most you are just grateful."
"If you like someone, you should at least have a possessive feeling towards him or her, but you don't have that feeling towards her. Think carefully about whether you have a possessive feeling towards her or your partner."
This is a good question. Hang Jiaqing has never thought about it before. Now that he thinks carefully, he feels that even if Cao Manjin divorces and gets together with someone else right away, he will not have any concerns. But he thought again, if his Jasmine was with another man, even if they were a little close, he would feel uncomfortable.
Things have come to this point. Hang Jiaqing is not a fool. If he breaks out of that vicious circle of thinking, he will know that his feelings for Cao Manjin are not love, but gratitude and sympathy. At this moment, all the emotions from the past few days were swept away, and he felt relaxed. The complicated emotions he had when he saw Cao Manjin or thought of Cao Manjin before were swept away.
Thinking of how he had just run into the Public Security Bureau in a panic, he couldn't help but squat down, feeling embarrassed but also a little funny.
Hang Jiabai rubbed his head, feeling amused and angry. He squatted down as well and asked, "How did you and your boyfriend get together before?"
"She wrote me letters, a lot of letters, and even came to see me from the forest farm of the third company. Every time I went to a meeting, she brought me a lot of food. I wanted a lot of food. I didn't want her to chase me home."
Speaking of his girlfriend, even though she has been gone for four or five years, Hang Jiaqing still has a lot to say. Five years have passed, and when he thinks of the things she did back then, he still feels extremely happy.
"But later on, I went to see her more often. After all, she was my girlfriend, and I liked her quite a lot. We lived 30 or 40 miles away from each other, but we saw each other three times a week, and wrote letters almost every day."
Hang Jiabai began to sigh as he listened to what Hang Jiaqing said: "You already have a partner and you have a lot of experience in relationships, so how come you still can't tell the difference between gratitude and liking someone?"
Hang Jiaqing's face turned green and red: "Isn't she a married woman? I think this is the best way for me to act out of love and within the bounds of propriety."
Hang Jiabai didn't know what to say anymore: "So what's the main reason you came after me this time?"
"It's mainly because I'm worried that she wouldn't be able to bear it. She's been suffering a lot. After her second child was sent away, she went to look for her child from time to time. She was a little crazy. San Ya was her life, and now that San Ya is gone, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to bear the blow." Hang Jiaqing told the truth.
Hang Jiabai looked carefully at Hang Jiaqing's expression. He saw that he had no erotic thoughts when he said this, and his eyes were clear. He resisted the urge to curse.
Lin Shuyue was listening inside and was also speechless.
Yin Xin and Hang Yuhua came out, followed by the young policeman they had met before. Hang Jiaqing walked up to them, mature and steady, and greeted him.
Hang Yuhua and the young policeman were not surprised by his arrival. Hang Jiaqing is the deputy captain of the police team in the forest farm. The captain is already quite old, so it is normal for Hang Jiabai to come over.
Only Yin Xin looked at Hang Jiaqing carefully several times, and was finally very disappointed. She saw Lin Shuyue in a blink of an eye and pulled Lin Shuyue to the corner behind the door.
Yin Xin asked: "Ayue, when your elder brother came in just now, did he seem anxious?"
Lin Shuyue looked at Yin Xin. She didn't want to lie to Yin Xin, but she also didn't want to tell her about Hang Jiaqing. Yin Xin had been looking at Lin Shuyue, and when she saw her expression, she didn't know whether to be relieved or disappointed.
Seeing Lin Shuyue looking at her, as if curious about why she asked that, Yin Xin liked Lin Shuyue at first sight.
She and Hang Jiabai came here and agreed with her meaning. This was already his future daughter-in-law, and there were some things that she should know. Besides, those things were not shameful, so there was no harm in speaking them out.
"As for your eldest brother, he had a girlfriend six years ago, but that girlfriend died later, and he has never gotten over it. He spends all his time on work and fighting those poachers. Every time I mention starting a family to him, he either keeps silent or says he knows."
"I noticed that he had been avoiding Man Jin some time ago. I thought he fell in love with her because she saved his life."
"I originally wanted his father to beat him up, but when I looked closely afterwards, I realized that this idiot didn't even like me or feel grateful to me. Tell me, why is he so stupid?"

Yin Xin had already figured out what her boss' feelings were for Cao Manjin, but she still had some hope in her heart.
Forget it, just like what Lao Hang said, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, why should she care so much?
This was the only way Yin Xin could comfort herself.
The greetings on the other end were still going on, and Aunt Wang also came out. There were traces of tears in the corners of her eyes, and it was obvious that she cried while talking about the details.
Cao Manjin and Wei Guoyong and their son had not come out yet. Zhao Fu came out to pour water, and Hang Yuhua walked up to them and asked quietly about the situation.
They were all old acquaintances, and Zhao Fu did not hide it from Hang Yuhua, because he really wanted to find someone to talk to, and he couldn't hold it in any longer: "They are interrogating, this woman is something."
This sentence attracted everyone's attention.
"This woman is really cruel. When she was a child, she pushed her sister into the water, causing her sister to be washed away. After she got married, she was dissatisfied with her mother-in-law, so when her mother-in-law was sick and bedridden, she sent her water and food with rat poison. The amount was very small, and the wife drank the poisoned food for half a month and died immediately."
"After that, she came to the forest farm with her husband, but she was not disciplined and fell in love with a man at the bottom of the dam. Her husband found out. After she was beaten, she was so angry that she felt that she could not live a carefree life with this man around, so she used the same method to kill her husband."
"Her husband died while working because he took too much poison. You all thought she died suddenly, right?"
"Then there were the two bachelors at the bottom of the dam. Because they didn't give her the money she wanted and because they threatened to sue her, she killed them. Her eldest granddaughter was pushed down by her because her son and daughter-in-law were both formal workers at the forest farm, and her eldest and second child did not meet the policy requirement of a five-year age gap between two children."
"In order to avoid being fined and to keep her son's job, she pushed her eldest child into the river. The second child was a daughter, so she sold her in anger. It was said that within two years, the child was gone."
"The third sister was annoyed by this and felt that she was blocking the path for her grandson to be reincarnated. So she heard from a fortune teller at the bottom of the dam that she should let the child die in the most painful way possible, which would scare the girl away. Then, the next time she has another child, it will be a boy."
"This wife is quite cruel. The man she is with now wants to marry her and let her son and daughter-in-law take care of him in his old age, but she is not happy about it and has already poisoned him. Xiao Wang, go find the old man and drive him to the city for a checkup. I will call the higher-ups."
"There are too many people involved in this matter. We can't investigate here. The police from the county town have to come and investigate. If the county can't investigate, the city has to come." Zhao Fu
Pat on the head.
Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment. Lin Shuyue knew that Li Xiaohe's sin value was high. She thought that at most she had killed her three granddaughters, but she didn't expect that she had so many lives on her hands.
"Breaking Bad, this one." Lin Shuyue couldn't help but say it out loud.
