Chapter 171 Helping Many Times



Jiang Mengxue thought that it was Li Cuiying and He Xiaoying who told her to do so, so she didn't take it seriously. The room would be cleaner after putting up newspapers, otherwise there would always be some dust.

The two people in the room also noticed someone staring at them at the door.

He put down his hand and looked back, and was stunned to see Jiang Mengxue.

Li Laoer had met Jiang Mengxue before. On the day He Xiaoying had a difficult delivery, Li Laoer had been working overtime at the factory.

When he got home from work, he heard some noise outside Liu's house. When he ran to the door, Jiang Mengxue just came out of the yard.

He also heard from his mother that Jiang Mengxue was a doctor who lived near them and came to deliver He Xiaoying.

Li Laoer quickly jumped off the kang.

"Doctor Jiang, why are you here? Is Comrade He Xiaoying here to look at the house?"

Jiang Mengxue didn't expect that the other person knew her. She also recognized that this was one of the people who was discussing their family nearby when He Xiaoying was chasing the Liu family with a knife that day.

Jiang Mengxue still remembers that this comrade said that the Liu family deserved to die. Because his speech was quite bold at the time, Jiang Mengxue was deeply impressed by him.

"Hello comrade, Xiaoying and I just came to take a look. We wanted to clean up in advance, but I didn't expect you to clean the room so cleanly."

Li Laoer scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"It's a good day off and I have nothing to do. The newspapers at the scrap yard are free, so I went to find some and put them up inside the house to keep the dust out."

Jiang Mengxue then realized that it was this man's idea. Unexpectedly, he was a very clean-loving man.

"Then you guys go ahead and do your work. I won't bother you anymore."

Jiang Mengxue said this and walked out the door.

He Xiaoying was chatting with a few women under the porch of the main house.

The yard is not big, but because several families live here, each family has a private kitchen outside their house.

The originally small yard seemed even more crowded.

There is a distance of two meters between He Xiaoying's house and the wall at the main entrance, so people can build a kitchen outside, which will make the space inside the house more spacious.

After talking to a few women, He Xiaoying came back with a broom.

"Sister Xiaoxue, wait for me. I'll clean the house and then we'll go back."

Before Jiang Mengxue could stop her, He Xiaoying quickly ran back into the house to prepare for work.

But as soon as I entered the house, I was shocked by how clean and tidy it was.

This was very different from her first time here.

Not only has the kang been prepared, the floor has been swept clean with water, and even the walls have been scraped clean. Now two comrades are pasting newspapers on them. The whole room looks so tidy.

Li Laoer was sitting on the kang, pasting newspapers on the edge of the window on the back wall and wrapping up the edges of the window frame. He was so focused that he didn't notice He Xiaoying coming in at all.

He Xiaoying stared at him silently for a while, then quietly retreated.

The other worker, Li Laosan, was completely ignored the entire time, so he didn't even dare to say hello.

He looked doubtfully at the direction where He Xiaoying went out, then looked at his second brother and shook his head. He always felt that something was strange but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"I haven't even had time to tell you, they've already cleaned the house. I guess we just have to wait until they tile the walls."

He Xiaoying smiled, but was silent.

Although Jiang Mengxue didn't know what was going on, she didn't ask much.

He Xiaoying left all the cleaning tools she brought in the house and did not take them out. She knew they would be used later and no one in the yard would take them.

The two walked around outside and then returned home.

"Xiaoying, why don't you go back to your room and rest. You've been busy for so long this morning, and you don't have anything to do this afternoon anyway."

When Jiang Mengxue came back, she found that He Xiaoying's face looked a little strange and she became a little quiet.

But it was obvious that she didn't intend to say it, and Jiang Mengxue naturally wouldn't ask. After all, everyone has their own private affairs.

He Xiaoying was stunned for a moment before she realized what Jiang Mengxue said. She thought about it and nodded.

"Okay, I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and lie down for a while."

She also realized that something was not right with her.

When she was at the Liu family, she was overwhelmed by housework all day long and neglected many things.

She only realized today that if Li Laoer had not found her and saved her many times in the past year, she didn't know what would have happened.

The family made handmade firewood boxes, and Old Lady Liu asked her to carry a large load of them to the street office by herself. Because each person was paid a fixed amount of money according to the amount of work they did, Old Lady Liu was not worried that He Xiaoying would embezzle her money.

He Xiaoying carried dozens of kilograms of things and walked towards the street step by step.

But when a pregnant woman carries such a heavy object in her hands, she feels like she is falling down and her stomach aches.

She couldn't bear it any longer and stood on the side of the road to rest. At that time, she was feeling so uncomfortable that she could hardly bear it anymore.

It was Liu Laoer who passed by and helped her deliver the things to the street. He also asked a female comrade to help her go back home. She felt better after resting for a while.

Later, Old Lady Liu sent her to the suburbs to pick wild vegetables. How could a pregnant woman walk such a long distance?

Li Laoer and his brother and sister-in-law also planned to go for a walk in the mountains outside the city. They happened to meet her carrying a basket alone. At that time, she was worrying about the way back. It took her three hours to walk here. If she didn't go back early, she would miss dinner. She was afraid that something would happen on the way and it would be dark when she got back.

It was Li Laoer who paid for her return trip under the pretext of asking her to help carry something.

When she saw Li Laoer's sincere eyes at that time, she didn't doubt anything. Now she thinks that he clearly just wanted to help her.

What's more, she had fallen on the roadside while carrying water. If Li Laoer hadn't asked someone to take her home, she might have died when someone woke up and found her in the morning.

He Xiaoying was upset that people had helped her so many times but she didn't appreciate it and didn't say anything about repaying them.

She sighed inwardly, but before this, when she was still in the Liu family, she didn't have the ability to repay him even if she wanted to.

In the future, whenever the Li family needs help, He Xiaoying will lend a hand, and the two families will be neighbors in the future.

The yard she lives in now is No. 16, and the Li family lives at No. 15, which is very close.

Jiang Mengxue returned to the house and was thinking about finding an opportunity to return the money to He Xiaoying without her noticing.

Since she was able to take the money out with her mind at that time, she could naturally put the money in He Xiaoying's room or on her body with her mind now.

Even though the Liu family called the police, there has been no news in the past few days. The police also said that the chances of finding the person are slim. After all, there are no clues at all, and no outsiders have visited their house.

Apart from the money in the iron box, no other place in the house was searched, which proved that the man must have planned it and knew the specific location of the money in his house.

So who else could know about this matter except the Liu family?

So now the Liu family's suspicion is focused on their family members.
