Small courtyard.
As soon as they entered the door, Song Qingyun pulled Xia Weian back to the room.
"What did Director Shen ask you?"
Xia Weian told Song Qingyun that Shen Weidong had examined his hands.
"I've been thinking about how to remind Director Shen to investigate Xiao Jiang." Xia Weian said with a frown.
"There's no way to pin it on him. The leader of the Revolutionary Committee and an old country woman have nothing to do with each other. After all, he has no motive to kill."
The two of them fell silent.
After a while, Song Qingyun spoke, "I always feel that with Director Shen's intelligence, he will find out something."
"Let's first see what he can find out. If he can't find it on Xiao Jiang, then we can write an anonymous letter of complaint." Xia Weian said.
Song Qingyun nodded, "Xiao Jiang threw his bloody clothes in the cellar. The bloody clothes are physical evidence."
"He went to the suburbs, where there weren't many people. I saw no one living in the two houses to his left or right, and only three or four houses away did people live. He didn't burn the bloody clothes there because he was afraid of being discovered."
"What if the bloody clothes are found by the neighbors?"
Xia Weian shook his head. "It's probably useless even if the neighbors find out. Judging from Xiao Jiang's cautiousness, no one around has seen him. This house is definitely not in his name. It's likely that it's ownerless and they can't trace it back to him."
"So we really can't do anything to him for the time being."
"Let's see how far Director Shen can investigate. Sister Yun, do you think he will really kill Old Man Xia?"
Song Qingyun nodded, "I think he will."
The two of them had no feelings for Old Man Xia. When they thought of the torture he had done to them in their previous life, they only felt disgust and hatred.
Why not just watch them fight each other first? If the war gets to them, just fight back...
After the couple had discussed it, they started to busy themselves with the things at hand.
Song Qingyun continued to make bedding, while Xia Weian went up the mountain to chop firewood. The lives of the two were in order.
In the afternoon, Xia Weian went to pick up the children as usual.
As soon as the tractor stopped at the brigade headquarters, someone ran over and said to Xia Zichen and Xia Ziheng, "Your milk is gone, hurry home."
Xia Zichen was startled and ran home quickly.
Xia Ziheng followed behind him and ran very fast.
Xia Weian took his daughters home.
Xia Ruokui also heard what the villagers said and whispered to Xia Weian, "Dad, is the milk really gone?"
Xia Weian nodded and said, "You don't have to go to the old house. Dad and Mom will take care of it."
Xia Ruokui nodded. Even after entering the house, she still felt that it was a little unreal. The old lady who had tortured her for more than ten years had died...
To this day, the old lady's ferocious expression still appears in her mind from time to time when she insisted on pushing her and the old bachelor onto the kang together.
Before she knew it, Xia Ruokui was already in tears.
"Ruokui." Song Qingyun saw Xia Ruokui crying and hurried forward to hug her.
"Mom, I'm not sad. I just feel like the burden that's been weighing on me has suddenly become lighter. I know I shouldn't feel this way, but..."
Song Qingyun hugged Xia Ruokui tightly and patted her back gently, "Ruokui, you are right. Mother thinks the same as you do. Mother also thinks that she... died well."
Song Qingyun whispered the last three words in Xia Ruokui's ear.
Xia Ruokui's eyes widened, tears falling one by one. She hugged Song Qingyun and said, "Mom."
It took a while for Xia Ruokui to calm down.
Although Xia Zhiyao and the others were not as emotional as Xia Ruokui, each girl felt that Old Lady Xia was gone and she was no longer relevant.
Song Qingyun was not in a hurry to cook. She pulled Xia Ruokui into the room to comfort her, and the mother and daughter talked for a long time.
Xia Zhiyao was doing homework with her sisters, while Xia Weian was busy cooking in the kitchen.
After dinner, Wang Yousheng knocked on the gate of the courtyard.
"Is Wei'an at home?"
Xia Weian heard the sound and hurried out to open the door, "Uncle, I'm home."
"Uncle wants to say a few words to you."
"Okay." Xia Weian responded, closed the door, and took two steps forward with Wang Yousheng.
"Uncle, what's the matter? You said I can bear it."
"Xia Jianguo was taken away by the police. They said he would be taken back for questioning."
Xia Weian didn't expect that Shen Weidong would take Xia Jianguo away. Xia Jianguo just scolded him twice. Could it be that Shen Weidong was venting his anger for him?
Xia Weian immediately denied his idea. He could see that Shen Weidong was very serious about his work. Even if he had a good relationship with him, he would not abuse his power for personal gain.
"Why did the police take Xia Jianguo away?"
"The police said they had some things to discuss with Xia Jianguo, but it was inconvenient to discuss them in the village, so they took him back to the police station. He'll stay there tonight and will be sent back tomorrow morning."
"It should be safe to follow the police." Xia Weian said after thinking for a while.
"The old lady is going up the mountain the day after tomorrow. You should go too. I've talked to Old Man Xia about it, and he said you should go and see your mother off."
Xia Weian nodded and said, "I'll go there early."
"Uncle will go too. When you get there, stay with me. If the Xia family dares to make things difficult for you, I will help you." Wang Yousheng said.
"Thank you, uncle."
"Weian, uncle knows you are feeling sad, but what can we do? You are a son. No matter how Old Madam Xia treated you in the past, she is gone now and all her debts are settled." Wang Yousheng sighed twice.
He felt sorry for Xia Weian.
But there's nothing I can do.
"I understand, uncle."
The two chatted for a few more minutes, and then Wang Yousheng left.
Xia Weian returned home and immediately told Song Qingyun that Shen Weidong had taken Xia Jianguo away.
