"Sister Xia, I'm telling you, we need to persuade Xiao Hu. This kid..."
Old Lady Xia hugged the small quilt and said, "What's wrong? It's a good thing that Yingying is back. Even if she's sick now, she'll get better in the future. Don't worry too much. The same goes for Xiao Hu. He's still young, maybe he'll get better when he grows up."
Old Lady Yin: "No, from what I heard from what he just said, it seems like he wants to take revenge on his parents. What do you mean...if someone dies, won't he be in trouble too?"
Old Mrs. Xia was shocked. "Ah? This child usually seems to have a very good temper. How could he have such extreme thoughts? Does he not care about Yingying anymore?"
Old Lady Yin: "Although I just promised not to do anything stupid, I'm afraid."
Old Lady Xia: "Then I'll go check it out. This quilt is at your house. Is Yingying still sleeping there?"
Old Lady Yin: "Yeah, their house is a mess, how can anyone sleep there?"
Old Lady Xia: "Cover her with this Baijia quilt. Maybe she will get better someday. I'll go check on Xiao Hu first."
The Hu family's door wasn't locked, and it couldn't be locked. A few days ago, Hu Jie had smashed the door in a rage, and even the craziest Xiao Ma had been hiding inside, not daring to go out and act crazy. Everyone in the compound was guessing Xiao Ma was just faking it.
After all, what madman could understand this kind of atmosphere?
"Xiao Hu, are you home?" Old Mrs. Xia pushed open the door and saw him squatting on the ground cleaning the house.
"Aunt Xia, you're here. What's going on?"
Old Lady Xia hurried over to help. "Xiao Hu, Yingying is back. She'll definitely be fine if she spends more time with us. I'm here to help clean up the mess at home."
Hu Jie smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."
"Oh, this kerosene lamp is also broken. Do you have any tickets at home? If not, I will bring them to you later. We can't live without a light at night."
"Thank you, Auntie, but I still have tickets."
"Ah, that's good." Old Mrs. Xia came over with a broom and swept the floor. "Your mother has gone in, and your father and your nephew have also gone back. They probably won't dare to come here in the future. Just take good care of Yingying, and your life will get better and better."
Hu Jie picked up the rag and began to wipe the cabinet. "Thank you, Auntie. I know. You listened to what Auntie Yin said. I know what she said makes sense. She won't do anything stupid. I can rest assured that Yingying is under my watch."
Old Mrs. Xia breathed a sigh of relief. "That's right. Your house is really a mess. I asked your Uncle Chen to come over and help. Otherwise, how long will it take you to clean it up? Clean it up sooner rather than later, and then you can raise Yingying peacefully. Better days are ahead."
She was as hurried as when she came, and soon called the whole family over, even Chen Xiangnan who had just got off the train was not spared.
It's easier to get things done when there are more people involved. Seeing this, other neighbors came in to help, and soon the house was tidy.
Late at night, Chen Xiangnan went to Hu Jie's house, and the two talked while drinking.
"Xiangnan, who were you calling for to break the arms and legs of those vampires in your father-in-law's family? Could you introduce them to me?"
Chen Xiangnan: "No."
Hu Jie: "We are brothers, you know. I just can't get rid of this anger."
Chen Xiangnan knew, of course, but Hu Jie's current state made it hard to believe he wasn't out to kill. If he'd introduced that group of people, and if there had been a first incident, there would have been a second, with the first one involving injury and the second one involving murder, and if it was ultimately traced back to him, wouldn't that have affected him?
Besides, sometimes he couldn't believe that group of people.
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Hu Jie: "Don't they just want a large family? Don't they treat my Yingying as a human being?"
Chen Xiangnan knew the rest even without Hu Jie saying it. The best way to take revenge on someone is to destroy what they care about most.
Now Hu Wei is missing, and Hu's father is too old to take care of the child. So as long as Hu Bin, the eldest nephew, is killed, the Hu family will be extinct. However, if Hu's father is still strong and has another child with someone else, it is hard to say.
Chen Xiangnan: "Calm down, your nephew is still a child, he doesn't understand anything."
Hu Jie: "How could he not understand? He's already seven or eight years old. Do you know what he said? He said that Yingying, that little girl, would be better off dead. Is that something a child could say?"
Chen Xiangnan: "Okay, okay, even if you want to, don't be so impatient. Plan it out and don't be impulsive, okay?"
"You're in this state and mood right now, and you're about to be taken away right after you've done something. Yingying was finally found, and the doctor said she needs more companionship. Do you want her to be like this from now on, and become an orphan?"
There was a struggle in Hu Jie's eyes. He admitted that he was anxious. For something like this, he should have planned it carefully, waited for the right opportunity, and killed the enemy with one strike.
Chen Xiangnan broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead in the hot summer. He advised her to wait until the child got better and maybe this person would become normal again.
Early in the morning, news came from the police that Hu Wei's body had been found. It was discovered by a river, swollen and emitting a foul smell. It was discovered by a fisherman.
A fisherman was fishing early in the morning and wanted to catch a few fish to improve his diet, but unfortunately he tripped over a corpse.
When he saw the corpse, he screamed in fear and quickly went to report the case.
After identification, they found that this person was Hu Wei who had disappeared before, so they hurriedly called Hu Jie over.
After identifying the body, Hu Jie discovered a purse belonging to Hu Wei's father in his pocket. The purse was made of scraps of cloth and had been used for many years. There was also tobacco in it.
There's nothing else.
Hu Jie immediately reported that Hu's father was also aware of the matter. If only Hu's mother knew about it, the eye bag would not have been taken away by Hu Wei.
The police became busy again. A few days later, Hu's father came here with his family to accept investigation and to take away Hu Wei's body. Hu Jie didn't want it at all and wished he could be eaten by wild dogs.
Hu's father was walking in front, shamelessly coming over again. The village only notified him to collect Hu Wei's body, but did not tell him about the police's new discovery, so he didn't know he would be imprisoned soon.
Last time, they destroyed all the things in Hu Jie's house, and the money Hu Jie gave them was spent during the few days they stayed there. This time, they had to borrow train tickets from villagers, and they directly deducted the money they had promised to pay for grain distribution at the end of the year.
After arriving in the city, they had no money to stay in a guesthouse. Adults could endure hardship, but children could not, so they could only come to Hu Jie's house with trepidation.
The second brother should have calmed down, because the child was not lost, but his eldest brother died.
His eldest brother paid the price for this matter, and that dead girl is still alive. As their father, he is not angry, so what right does the second brother have to be angry?
Since his eldest brother is dead, as an uncle, he should take good care of the only child left by his eldest brother.
Thinking of this, Hu's father brought people to Hu Jie's house and knocked on the door.
