Chapter 111 Wu learns the truth about her daughter's death
The village chief had just gone to the Wan family during the day to deal with Wan Xingchang's affairs, and the whole family had not gone to bed yet.
The village chief had only one son and two daughters. The youngest daughter had been poisoned to death, leaving him with a son and a daughter, both of whom were married.
At this time, the village chief's wife, the village chief, his son, and his daughter-in-law were sitting around the kang.
There was a small porcelain bottle placed in the middle of the kang table. Upon closer inspection, it was the one that the village chief had brought from the Wan family today.
"Mother, do you know where this poison comes from?"
Tears welled up in the village chief's cloudy eyes as he thought of the tragic death of his little daughter.
The village chief's wife, Mrs. Wu, shook her head. She felt that something was wrong with the village chief since he came back from the Wan family today. He locked himself in the room and did not come out to eat until just now, when he came out and called everyone in.
"Old man, what happened? Don't scare me. Just tell me what's going on. Don't keep it in your heart."
Wu looked at the village chief worriedly.
The village chief seemed to be immersed in his own thoughts, his voice was a little old and heavy, and he continued: "This poison was obtained from the wheat ears.
Today I suddenly thought of the summer three years ago. At that time, I had a few acres of good farmland. Mai Sui came to me with a hundred dollars to buy an acre of land on credit. At that time, another family in our village also came to buy land with cash. I hesitated for a moment and finally sold it to the person with cash.
Mai Sui didn't say anything at the time and just turned away. But a few days later, our little daughter died, and it happened to be poisoned. At the time, we all thought she had eaten something wrong and was poisoned. Now that I think about it, our daughter didn't die accidentally, but was poisoned by Mai Sui to take revenge on me as her father."
After the village chief finished speaking, he covered his face with his hands, his body shaking constantly, and big tears dripped through his fingers onto his legs.
Mrs. Wu seemed to have been struck by a heavy blow to her soul. She looked at the village chief in disbelief with her mouth slightly open. She maintained the same posture until a few breaths later, when the village chief's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zheng, discovered that something was wrong with her mother-in-law. She quickly crawled over to help Mrs. Wu calm down, with an anxious look on her face.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Please don't scare us."
The village chief looked at his wife with a hint of worry in his eyes. He could understand his wife's feelings at this moment, which were as heavy and heartbroken as he had felt in the afternoon when he guessed that his little daughter had been murdered.
Li tried to comfort Wu for a long time, and Wu finally coughed suddenly. Her whole body arched due to the violent coughing, and her face turned red.
Taurus quickly brought a glass of water.
Mrs. Wu took a sip of hot water and her complexion finally returned to normal.
"Are you sure, old man?"
Mrs. Wu's hands were tightly grasping the edge of the kang table, her eyes fixed on the village chief.
"I am just guessing now, but I will definitely confirm this. If it is confirmed that it was that bastard Mai Sui, I will kill him and avenge our daughter."
In fact, the village chief’s family already has a positive answer in their hearts.
Although many villagers in Shizi Village were exiles, most of them were implicated and were not bad people at heart. Some were even very noble and would not even bother to kill or burn people, so there had never been any acts of harming lives in the entire village.
The overall atmosphere of the village is still relatively simple, but today's incident made the village chief realize that there are some rat droppings in the village that need to be cleaned up.
Mrs. Wu already had her own plans in mind. The accidental death of her youngest daughter caused her great harm. Their family had few children to begin with, and one of them died unexpectedly. How sad she was at the time. Now, when she heard the truth, sadness was not enough to describe Mrs. Wu's mood. She could finally vent her hatred.
The village chief had no idea that his always virtuous wife had made a decision that shocked him.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"It's so late, why is there someone here? Dad, let me go see who it is?"
After saying this, Taurus put on his shoes and went out.
"Who is it?" Taurus stood at the door and shouted towards the courtyard gate.
"Brother Jinniu, it's us. Sorry to bother you so late at night, but we have a matter of life and death that we need to ask the village chief to handle. Could you please open the door?"
When Taurus heard that it was Boss Wan's voice, he quickly trotted over to open the fence gate.
"Is that you, Brother Jingui? Please come in and talk." Jinniu opened the gate a little wider and saw that there were several other people following Boss Wan, and it seemed that they were carrying someone.
Jinniu was a little dumbfounded, looking at the few people puzzledly and asked: "What is this?"
Boss Wan just stood at the door and explained his purpose.
Jinniu was so angry that he cursed, "The people of the Shen family are worse than beasts. I'm going to find my father right now. You guys come in quickly."
Boss Wan was afraid that Shen might suddenly die, so he didn't dare to go in rashly. He just stood at the door waiting for the village chief to come out.
Soon the village chief and his family came out.
There was still some redness under Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Zheng's eyes, but it was dark and no one could see it.
The village chief had already learned about the good things the Shen family had done. When he came out and saw Shen's appearance, he cursed the Shen family in his heart.
"Brother Wan, thank you for your hard work, but I will trouble you to make another trip and carry Shen to the door of the Shen family. I will take care of it."
Wan Lao Da bowed and said, "Village Chief, please come in, we will follow you."
Jinniu carried the village chief on his back. The road was difficult to walk on at night and he was afraid that his father would fall.
The group arrived at the gate of Shen's house. Several brothers of Shen's family were telling old lady Shen excitedly how they had thrown away Shen, and that their family would never have bad luck again, and that they had finally sent this jinx away.
Suddenly someone called Shen Lao Er.
The Shen family brothers all hurried out to see what was going on.
"Second brother, why does that person look so much like the Wan family next door?" Shen Lao San glanced at the people standing outside the fence and narrowed his eyes.
At this time, Shen Lao Er also saw Wan Lao Da and others, and was confused. What were they doing here so late?
The village chief spoke up at this time: "Shen Lao Er, open the door quickly and call your mother out. I have something to tell her."
It was not convenient for the village chief to enter the house so late, so he could only ask the Shen family to carry Old Mrs. Shen down from the kang.
When Shen Laoer heard that the village chief was there, he hurried over to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Shen Laoer was dumbfounded. He saw Shen, who he had thrown into the cemetery, being carried by people from the Wan family.
"Village chief, you...you come here so late for something?" Shen Laoer asked knowingly and stuttered, looking guilty.
"Shen Laoer, do you want us to all stand at the door and talk? Let everyone know about the good things your family has done?" The village chief's voice was full of majesty, and unconsciously brought out a sense of severity, which scared Shen Laoer so much that he quickly moved aside and asked everyone to go in. Anyway, the matter had been exposed, and he was not so nervous.
