Chapter 44
Under the bright moonlight.
The proud and strong man quickly rushed towards the reeds.
Soon the sound of fighting could be heard among the reeds.
Chen Chuntao put on her clothes calmly and walked over with a calm expression.
"It's you."
"You two adulterers, you scumbags."
"How dare you behave like this under my nose? I won't let you go."
Chen Chuntao sighed and said softly, "He can't stay, otherwise it will end badly for both of us."
Xiao Hu's eyes widened suddenly, as if he didn't recognize the woman in front of him.
As soon as Chen Chuntao finished speaking, the arrogant man subconsciously tightened his hands around Xiao Hu's neck.
"Go back first and pretend you didn't come out tonight. I'll take care of the rest."
"Okay, be careful, you're the only one I have now."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
In the hazy moonlight, Chen Chuntao, who had just turned her head, had all the worry and affection on her face faded away, leaving only indifference.
Liu Dazhui and branch secretary Luo Pingwei have not slept well these days.
The day before yesterday, Chen Chuntao came to the house with a worried look on her face and said that she hadn't seen Xiao Hu for a day.
I couldn't find anyone anywhere.
Liu Dazhu and Luo Pingwei thought about the Xiao family's recent activities and hurried to the town to report to the police.
The police have been visiting and investigating the village for the past two days, and finally found the swollen Xiao Hu in the reeds by the river in the afternoon.
Chen Chuntao only had time to howl once before she fainted.
Song Zaizhao and his wife were holding their unconscious sister-in-law, one of them was hugging her, while the other was supporting Xiao Quangui who was unable to stand steadily, their faces full of grief.
After a forensic autopsy with photos, Xiao Hu was determined to have been murdered.
And the time of death was calculated to be midnight three days ago.
No one knew why he ran to the reed marsh in the middle of the night.
The body was severely swollen and many evidence collection operations could no longer be completed.
In addition, the villagers who discovered the body had severely damaged the crime scene.
For a time, the entire case was at a standstill with no progress at all.
The entire Gaotang Village was in a panic. Everyone went to work in groups and did not dare to go alone.
There were even quite a few members who secretly burned paper at night without anyone knowing.
I suspect that Yanyan was too resentful at the time and was unwilling to leave.
That's why the Xiao family has been plagued by murders one after another.
Song Zaizhao, who lost his beloved son, always felt that all these things were closely related to his sister-in-law Chen Chuntao.
But after the police took her back for investigation, they released her.
Because the evidence we have now proves that the murderer cannot be a weak woman.
Song Zaizhao was worried the whole day after seeing Chen Chuntao being released.
If she had known this earlier, she would not have said those ambiguous words to the police.
He even watched his second son, Xiao Jiaxuan, like the ball of his eye, fearing that if he wasn't careful, something might happen to him.
She couldn't endure this suffocating life for even a day, and she had already thought about separating from the family as soon as possible.
After dinner in the evening, Song Zaizhao pulled Xiao Long into the room and the two had a fierce quarrel.
Soon Xiao Long walked into Xiao Quangui's house with blood marks on his face.
The head of the family, Xiao Sanying, just passed away, and now the second brother is also gone. The only ones who can help in the family are the eldest brother's family.
Xiao Quangui would never agree to Xiao Long's family separating.
There is still a Xiao Jian who has not married yet.
From now on, Xiao Jian and Xiao Juxiang will have to rely on the eldest brother for help when they get married.
Besides, the person he values most in his life is the eldest brother, so if the family business is to be divided, he will definitely follow the eldest brother.
It's impossible to kick out a son or daughter who is not married yet, right?
If he really did that, not only Xiao Quangui, but also the backbones of Xiao Long and his wife would be broken.
Listening to Xiao Long's hesitant words.
Xiao Quangui turned a few corners and seemed to understand what Xiao Long and his wife were thinking.
To be honest, he was also very scared during this period, fearing that he would be the next person to get into trouble.
Now that I think about it, the whole problem with the Xiao family started with the death of that short-lived Yanyan.
Before this old woman died, she cursed Chen Chuntao as an unlucky star all day long.
Could it be that she was really right?
He had heard before that some people have bad horoscopes and will bring disaster to their parents, children, and those close to them.
Now that I think about it, it seems like everything is against Shen Chuntao.
Xiao Quangui tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep well.
He got up and went out the next day. After a while, he invited the team leader, the secretary and several elders of the Xiao family to his home.
Chen Chuntao looked at the people sitting at the table in the living room, and rubbed the piece of brown sugar happily with her fingers in her pocket.
Sure enough, next, Xiao Quangui first recounted the misfortunes that had happened to the Xiao family, which aroused everyone's sympathy.
He then said that Xiao Hu was gone now, Chen Chuntao was still young, and had no children.
The Xiao family didn't want to delay her and wanted to let her go back. She was free to look for someone else or do whatever she wanted in the future.
Everyone understood what was going on when they heard this, and at the same time, they were complaining in their hearts about the Xiao family's ugly behavior.
Xiao Hu has only been gone for a few days, and already here they can't wait to kick his wife out of the house.
The captain and his men fell silent, but since they had already been involved in this mess, they could only bite the bullet and ask Chen Chuntao what she meant.
Chen Chuntao cried and said that she was reluctant to leave Xiao Hu. Xiao Hu had just passed away and the Xiao family could no longer accommodate her.
Xiao Quangui definitely refused to acknowledge her. She said that firstly, she was young and it would be bad to delay her family, and secondly, Xiao Hu was gone now, and she lived with her bachelor father-in-law and brother-in-law. It was okay for a short time, but she was afraid of gossip if it lasted for a long time.
Anyway, what I mean is that I do this for your own good.
The two sides fought back and forth.
In the end, Xiao Quangui agreed to compensate Chen Chuntao with 100 kilograms of food and also agreed to let her take all her work points.
Chen Chuntao then looked aggrieved and reluctantly accepted the result.
Since Chen Chuntao was an educated youth from another place, after leaving the Xiao family, she could only return to the educated youth site.
Under the arrangement of the team leader, Chen Chuntao weighed the food and returned to the educated youth site with her luggage.
Looking at the educated youth point in front of me and thinking of that person, my fingers subconsciously rubbed the brown sugar wrapped in my pocket.
"I don't agree, Captain. I don't agree to her moving in."
"She's a fresh widow who lost her husband and children, but we're not even married yet."
"Besides, she's already been staying at the Public Security Bureau for two days, and the matter isn't over yet. If you shove her in here, will we still be able to live as human beings?"
"Can you take responsibility for ruining our reputation?"
When Chen Haiying saw Zhou Huijuan leading Shen Chuntao to the room, she hurriedly blocked the door and refused to let them in no matter what.
The captain couldn't help feeling pity when he saw Shen Chuntao, who was carrying a bag and lowering her head in the yard and looked extremely thin.
"Comrade Chen Haiying, the educated youth camp is not your private property."
"This is the collective property of the team. The team can arrange it however they want."
"If you have any objections..."
The captain didn't finish his words, but his meaning was very clear: if you have any objections, you have to move out.
Chen Haiying's face flushed red. "I don't care. I won't live in the same room with her anyway."
