The warehouse door was rattling in the wind, mixed with the cries of wild cats, which seemed particularly eerie at night.
Zhao Meilan shuddered. Why did she suddenly think of Han Liehu?
Zhao Meilan subconsciously moved closer to Tian Guihua.
Tian Guihua pushed Zhao Meilan away in disgust, "Stay away from me!"
"Sister-in-law, did you hear any sound?" Zhao Meilan said in a trembling voice.
Tian Guihua didn't feel anything before, but when Zhao Meilan said that, she shivered inexplicably. What was going on? Why did she feel a chill down her spine?
"What, what's that sound?" Tian Guihua stopped pushing Zhao Meilan and grabbed her arm.
The two people trembled.
Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia subconsciously moved closer to each other.
"I, I heard that a woman from the cowshed was hanged in this warehouse. I think it was under the beam." Zhao Meilan pointed tremblingly at the beam above their heads.
"Ah!" Tian Guihua screamed and hid in the corner.
Zhao Meilan also crawled over using her hands and feet.
Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia shrank their bodies and moved away from the beam.
"What are you arguing about? If you continue, I'll put you in separate cells!" the militia at the door shouted in disgust.
The four of them immediately fell silent, too frightened to speak out. They were even more terrified if they were put in solitary confinement...
The next morning.
Erniu and Sanniu made breakfast together.
After breakfast, Xia Weian said goodbye to everyone and went out to the city, carrying a backpack.
The backpack contained herbs picked from the mountain two days ago, and Xia Weian processed them briefly.
Xia Weian had to go to the brigade headquarters first to get a letter of introduction. As he walked, he was thinking that if he had come back earlier, he would have gone to the county to see Da Niu. He was a little worried about Da Niu.
I wonder how the big girl is doing at Aunt Wan’s house.
Battalion headquarters.
When Xia Weian entered the room, Old Man Xia and the other four had already been pulled out and were standing in front of the tool shed. Before they set off for the county study class, they had to be publicly criticized and educated.
Wang Lanhua and several other aunts, who had always been at odds with Old Lady Xia, happily surrounded Old Lady Xia to watch the fun.
They didn't say anything, just watched, and Old Mrs. Xia was so embarrassed that she wanted to bury her face in her crotch.
When Old Mrs. Xia was feeling upset, she saw Xia Weian.
Xia Weian changed into a new set of clothes today. They were clean and without a single patch. At first glance, he didn't look like a country man at all. People would even believe him if he said he was a county official.
Why did it become like this?
It’s obvious that Xia Weian is the workhorse of their family.
Could it be that just because the girl was almost pulled onto the kang by Li Wu, he was so stimulated that his temperament changed drastically?
No, that's not right.
Old Mrs. Xia always felt that Xia Weian was possessed by something.
Old Man Xia, Zhao Meilan and Tian Guihua also saw Xia Weian.
Old man Xia just felt a burning pain on his face.
Tian Guihua narrowed her eyes with a bit of greed. It was obviously the man she liked, and the good life Song Qingyun was having now should have been hers. It would be better if Song Qingyun died.
Zhao Meilan didn't think so much. She thought Xia Weian came to plead for them. Maybe with just a word from Xia Weian, they wouldn't have to go to the study class!
"Third brother, third brother, we are here. Please help us plead with the team leader and the village party secretary." Zhao Meilan shouted, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Xia Weian didn't even look at Zhao Meilan and the others, and went straight to the village committee office.
"Third brother, third brother..." Zhao Meilan wanted to shout, but was pushed by the militia next to her.
"How dare you call me the third brother? Your whole family has ganged up on him, and now you want him to plead for you? Don't dream!" the militiaman cursed impatiently.
If it weren't for the fact that these people in the Xia family's old house went too far, how could Xia Weian, with such a good temper, turn against them?
Zhao Meilan was yelled at so hard that she didn't dare to speak.
Old Man Xia hated Xia Weian even more in his heart. Sure enough, the fortune teller was right. If Xia Weian lived well, those close to him would not live well.
When Xia Weian was working hard, their family was so good. Now...
Everything was caused by Xia Weian, why should he live a good life!
Village committee office.
Wang Yousheng heard some noise outside and was about to go out to check it out when he saw Xia Weian walk in.
"Weian, you're here. Please sit down." Wang Yousheng immediately put on a smile and greeted him.
"Thank you, uncle. I have to go to the city today to check my arm and see how much we can sell the herbs we picked for."
"This basket is full of herbs?" Wang Yousheng's mind raced. "Weian, come back and tell me how much you sold them for."
"Okay, uncle. I'll come back to your house to see you in the evening." Xia Weian agreed.
"We will send those people to the county study class soon. I have asked someone to borrow a tractor. Will you go with the tractor later?" Wang Yousheng asked.
"No, I don't feel comfortable. I'll walk to the bus by myself." Xia Weian said. He would rather walk than listen to those people's nagging.
It was as if he felt sorry for them.
Oh……
"Okay, let's go." Wang Yousheng handed the prepared letter of introduction to Xia Weian.
Xia Wei put it away, carried the basket on his back and left without even looking at the Xia family members.
As soon as Xia Weian left, Xia Ziheng and Xia Zichen hurried to the brigade headquarters.
"Grandpa Captain, my pigs and chickens are missing," Xia Ziheng shouted. "My father asked me to find someone and report it to the police."
"What! The pig is lost!" Wang Yousheng's face changed with shock. That was the task pig, which had to be handed in by the end of the year!
It's August now, it's too late to raise it.
"What's going on? Please tell me clearly!" Wang Yousheng asked.
"When I went to feed the pigs in the morning, I found that they were gone..." Xia Ziheng said in a trembling voice. He didn't dare say that the pigpen door was open... He couldn't remember whether he closed the door the last time he went to feed the pigs.
He even forgot to feed the pigs yesterday.
Who would have thought that today, he first found that there was no chicken in the chicken coop, and then he found that the pig was gone.
It's so scary.
Xia Ziheng was so scared that he almost cried.
Wang You was furious. "Your family is really incompetent and is the biggest troublemaker."
"Ziheng, what happened? How could our pigs be gone?" Old Mrs. Xia was shocked!
Why? The fat pig she had raised for half a year was gone just like that!
"Milk, woooo." Xia Ziheng started crying. His miserable appearance made many people unable to bear to watch.
Finally, Wang Yousheng took two militiamen to see the scene. Naturally, there were no clues at the scene, so Wang Yousheng made the final decision.
"Whoever owns the mission pig is responsible for it. If it's lost, you have to pay for it."
Xia Jianguo and Xia Zhiqiang almost fainted...
Their lives are so hard.
At this time, Xia Weian had already boarded the car, which was swaying and heading straight to the city...
