Chapter 42
"What's going on?"
"That's the cry coming from the creek. Let's go and take a look."
A few brave members gathered around with their hearts in their throats.
Before reaching the stream, I saw two women crawling out of the creek.
"Mother Lianshun, what's going on?"
"Yes, it's Aunt Xiao, it's Aunt Xiao."
Song Zaizhao plucked up his courage and took two steps closer in the direction of Lian Shun's mother.
By the stream, Aunt Xiao was lying on her side in the ditch with her eyes wide open.
What was terrifying was that a line of bright red blood flowed out of her seven orifices, just like Yanyan who was suffocated to death.
“Ah~”
Song Zaizhao let out a scream, and his whole body became as soft as noodles, and he knelt on the ground.
The public security personnel came over quickly.
They took photos and examined the body.
It was quickly concluded that Xiao Sanying died of drowning.
Because there was no sign of resistance on her body.
It's like he ran into the stream and drowned.
No one in the Xiao family believed this.
"Impossible! My mom was fine. How could she suddenly come here and drown herself?"
"Besides, look at this stream. It's barely even foot-deep. How could such a large person have drowned?"
The public security personnel visited the village, learned about the conflicts in the Xiao family from various sources, and soon turned their suspicion to Chen Chuntao.
But Chen Chuntao spent the whole afternoon weeding with the other members and didn't even go to the toilet.
He has a complete alibi and had no time to commit the crime.
After checking the people around one by one, the public security personnel still determined that Xiao Sanying went to the stream to wash her hands and accidentally fell in and fainted.
He just lay in the river and drowned.
No matter how many doubts the Xiao family had, the case was concluded in this way.
However, those who had seen Yanyan's death began to discuss it secretly.
"Lian Shun's, did you notice?"
"Xiao Sanying and Yanyan, at that time, were exactly the same."
"They were both bleeding from their eyes, noses, and mouths, and even the marks were the same."
"Yes, you said Xiao Sanying ran off and drowned herself. Do you believe it?"
"Anyway, I don't believe it."
"Maybe. I've done too many bad things and now I'm getting my comeuppance."
"I've heard a long time ago that Chen Chuntao was imprisoned because her family had schemed to ruin her reputation."
"They ended up bullying a foreigner and not treating her as a human being at all."
"If the team leader hadn't seen Chen Chuntao unable to stand up in the fields at the beginning of the year and told Xiao Quangui to stay home in front of everyone, she might have been working in the fields until she gave birth."
"yes!"
"Just last time, when Chen Chuntao fell while carrying firewood and had a difficult labor, do you remember?"
"There was blood all over the floor. Everyone urged us to take him to the hospital."
"Xiao Sanying just doesn't want to do it because she's afraid of spending money."
"In the end, it was Song Zaizhao who brought the veterinarian Gou Bo over, and that saved his life."
"My life is saved. Gou Bo hasn't even left yet, but he's already scolding me, looking down on me for having a girl."
"I still have to give Gou Bo two eggs. I'm so angry."
"Yanyan had no milk to drink, so Chuntao had to crawl up and make some rice soup herself."
"What about Xiao Hu? Xiao Hu doesn't care?"
"Oh, Xiao Hu, that guy listens to his mother in everything. How can I control him? If his mother says shit smells good, he'll believe it."
"That being said, I envy Xiao Sanying. I don't know how she raised it."
"I want a son like that, too."
"Hey, hey, hey, don't go off topic."
"Go on, go on."
"Let's get to the point and don't talk about anything else."
"The point is, I think this is because Yanyan was unwilling to give up and got it back?"
"Yeah, that makes me feel creepy."
"Don't talk nonsense like that. If someone hears you, you'll be arrested and locked up."
"If the three of us don't tell anyone, no one will know."
"Hey, let's go, this is impossible. It makes my hair stand on end."
The three of them left one after another, and no one noticed that a pair of bright red cloth shoes appeared behind the big tree.
Although there is propaganda everywhere about breaking away from feudalism, people still hold funerals in the countryside when they die.
No one would cut off their own escape route to report these things, as everyone has elderly people at home.
If someone really reports it, not only the host of the report, but even his own father in the room will break his legs first.
At this time, cremation had been promoted in the city, wreaths were placed, relatives wore black armbands, and funerals were kept simple.
In the countryside, burial is still popular, and the most basic configuration is to wear mourning clothes and cry.
Chen Chuntao did not hide the joy in her eyes.
Kneeling in the mourning hall, he shouted harder than anyone else.
Xiao Hu's head was buzzing with the crying.
"My poor, poor head of the household..."
"Xiao Hu~uh~"
Brigade members: !!!!!!
They had never seen a husband crying over his mother-in-law's death.
Xiao Hu looked even uglier, and he rolled up his sleeves as if he was about to hit someone.
Before he could do anything, Shen Chuntao, who was crying breathlessly, began to turn.
"Fuck~uh~"
Xiao Quangui, who was about to scold his daughter-in-law, was choked and looked ugly.
What people are crying about is: my poor head of the family, Xiao Hu’s mother.
This doesn't seem to be wrong.
Unexpectedly, the next sentence was that Chen Chuntao took him with her.
"My poor father-in-law choked."
"That's it, that's all..."
After crying to this point, Chen Chuntao was completely out of breath and it took her a while to catch her breath.
Xiao Quangui:!!!!
He’s gone??? He was standing there in the mourning hall, and his daughter-in-law was crying because he was gone?
Xiao Quangui was almost sent away by his daughter-in-law.
Before he could come to his senses, Chen Chuntao paused for a while and then changed the subject to say something.
"Wife~uh~"
The people around now understood what the person was crying about.
My poor father-in-law lost his wife just like that.
There is nothing wrong with this statement......
Chen Chuntao used her unique way of crying, crying so hard that she was out of breath and almost fainted several times.
She made the entire Xiao family cry, and the faces of more than a dozen members of the Xiao family turned green from her crying.
I heard Chen Chuntao crying and shouting for Xiao Sanying to take the Xiao family away with her.
The man who was supporting the filial son next to him was shaking all over from trying to hold back his laughter.
"Alright, alright, Xiao Hu's family, don't be too sad."
"Your mother-in-law can see your filial piety and hear your heartfelt wishes. She is going there to live a good life."
"Don't be too sad."
After hurriedly saying a few polite words, the person in charge of supporting the filial son ran outside, stroking his belly, bent over and shaking with laughter.
This Chen Chuntao is really amazing, she is worthy of being an educated person.
He used the excuse of crying at a funeral to curse the entire Xiao family.
The key point is that the Xiao family can't find any fault with her. Seeing how hard she works, they have to agree with the people around her and praise her for being filial.
Xiao Sanying's funeral had just ended when something bad happened to the Xiao family again.
After the Xiao family sent Xiao Sanying away, they discovered that their grandson Xiao Jiabao was missing.
Song Zaizhao and Xiao Long then remembered that they hadn't seen their son for a day, and they immediately started looking for him like crazy.
Liu Dazhu held the gong and banged it loudly, mobilizing everyone to go up the mountain to look for people.
Even Xiao Quangui, who was always calm, couldn't hold himself back.
His whole body was trembling and he kept shouting.
"Jiabao, Jiabao, my eldest grandson."
