Chen Li made a frightened expression.
Her words completely piqued everyone's curiosity.
They tied him up, brandished a knife menacingly, so what happened next? Did they cut his genitals? Or did they release him?
"I saw Zhong plead desperately, almost kneeling and kowtowing to Qiangzi. Only then did Qiangzi let Liu the butcher go. He told Liu that if he went looking for his mother again, he would go to his eldest daughter. Liu cursed at Qiangzi, but Qiangzi stopped hitting him, only saying, 'If you don't remember, I'll ruin your daughter. You want to be family? Fine, I'll marry your daughter, and then we'll be family too.' In the end, Liu the butcher left cursing." Chen Li's expression was complicated. She herself had a daughter, but she also had a son. She felt that Qiangzi's idea was both right and wrong.
Since then, Chen Li has been keeping an eye on what's happening next door every night. Apart from yesterday when she took her child back to her parents' home, nothing else has happened next door.
She only told Chen Liangshi about this. She and Chen Liangshi were sisters-in-law. Their parents-in-law died early, and the two brothers had long since separated their households. They lived not far from each other, but the two had a good relationship. The Chen brothers had divided their household property fairly, and the two brothers had a good relationship. Their family circumstances were similar, and their children were about the same age, so the two were able to get along well.
She told Chen Liangshi this, also to warn her to be careful, as she always felt that the neighbors were going to cause trouble again.
As it turns out, she had just gone back to her parents' home yesterday and only returned today, and now, her neighbor Qiangzi is gone. She felt that her intuition was too accurate.
After listening, Gu Xin looked at Madam Chen Liang and asked, "Madam Liang, did anything happen at the Hu family yesterday?"
Chen Liangshi shook her head: "Your Highness, although my family and the Hu family live in the same alley, their house is at the very end of the alley, while ours is at the very end. I didn't notice anything during the day, but I don't know anything about the night. We went to bed very early."
Gu Xin pursed her lips and asked again, "In the alley where you live, the Hu family only has the Chen family as their neighbor, and there are no neighbors on the other side, right?"
Chen Liangshi nodded.
Gu Xin thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Brother Yuanyuan, Xiao Qiu, let's take the dog and go to the Hu family's house for a visit!"
At this moment, Du Sanniang suddenly spoke up: "Sister Zhong, you're awake!"
Originally, Du Sanniang was listening to Chen Lishi talk about Zhongshi and Liu the butcher, just like everyone else. After Chen Liangshi finished speaking, she turned her head to see what was going on, and then she noticed that Zhongshi's finger twitched, so she quickly went over.
Gu Xin frowned and looked towards the recliner. What a coincidence! I was on my way to the Hu family's house when Zhong Shi woke up?
She walked over and said, "Ms. Zhong, give me your house key. Don't worry, we won't rummage through your things. We just want to see Hu Qiangzi's everyday belongings; maybe we can find some clues."
Zhong looked at Gu Xin with a blank expression, and then tears streamed down her face uncontrollably: "Qiangzi, my Qiangzi, my Qiangzi!"
Then came a burst of wailing and crying.
Lu Zheng glanced at Zhong Shi, then reached out to pull Gu Xin: "Let's go, Xin Xin, we can still get in even without a key."
Zhong's crying paused for a very short time, so brief that it was almost imperceptible if you weren't paying attention.
No one else noticed; they just felt sorry for Zhong Shi. Listen to her crying, how tragic! It was truly a human tragedy.
