"Zhao's relative is here! What a rare guest, come in quickly and have a cup of hot tea." "Beast? Zhao Qingshan actually called their whole family beasts? Zhou Chunping suppressed the blood in his throat and pretended not to hear what Zhao Qingshan said. He greeted Zhao Qingshan with a smile on his face.
"I dare not. My Zhao family can't afford your Zhou family's tea. I'm afraid some ungrateful people will add something into it. Don't let others lose their lives before they can even drink a few sips of tea." Zhao Qingshan waved his hand, raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically.
Zhou Chunping was startled and the smile on his face froze.
Put something in the tea? What? Could it be that Zhao Qingshan, that old man, had found out about him and his eldest son putting drug powder in Zhou Zhixin's noodles a few days ago? No, no, no! How could Zhao Qingshan know such a secret? He wasn't trying to trick me, was he? Zhou Chunping was in a state of panic, not knowing what to do.
"Grandpa, we're here to find Dad. Where's my dad?" Zhou Yuanyuan held Wen Ziqing's hand and walked into the door a step slower than Zhao Qingshan.
"Your dad? Didn't your dad go back to Zhaojiagou?" Zhou Chunping was surprised and said this casually.
"Grandpa, my dad said a few days ago that he would go back to Zhoujia Village to see you and grandma! But he hasn't come back yet!" Zhou Yuanyuan blinked her big watery eyes, her face full of confusion.
Wen Ziqing stood beside Zhou Yuanyuan, expressionless, but on the inside she was practically bursting out in laughter. The little girl was quite clever, having immediately begun to tease Zhou Chunping, forcing him to deny that Zhou Zhixin had returned to the Zhou family a few days ago.
Zhao Qingshan and Zhao Guohui were not fools. When they heard Zhou Yuanyuan say this, their brains started working quickly.
"Zhou Chunping, your son should come back to see you, but it's New Year's Day, and he's nowhere to be seen. He left his wife and children in Zhaojiagou. Isn't that too much?" Zhao Qingshan was experienced after all. He understood Zhou Yuanyuan's thoughts in an instant and spoke quickly.
"Yes, before Zhou Zhixin came to see you, he said that he would go back to Zhaojiagou that day and pick up my sister and others to go back to Zhoujia Village to celebrate the New Year the next day. So many days have passed, and there is no sign of him. What is going on in your Zhou family? If Zhou Zhixin doesn't want to live with my sister anymore, just say it clearly. What kind of coward is that?" Zhao Guohui also quickly joined in.
"This, this is impossible." Zhou Chunping was shocked.
"Grandpa, please call my dad out. I want to ask him if he doesn't want us anymore. Wuuuu... Mom is so angry that she is sick, and Dad doesn't come back. Wuuuu..." Zhou Yuanyuan lied so convincingly that she even brought up the fact that Zhao Yunxiang was sick.
The skin on Zhao Qingshan's face trembled and he almost burst out laughing.
"Zhou Yuanyuan, don't talk nonsense. Your father passed away a long time ago and is not here." Zhou Chunping thought of Zhou Zhixin, whose life or death was unknown, and quickly distanced himself from the matter.
"No, Dad doesn't want us anymore. Dad told me in my dream last night that I should listen to Mom. There was blood on Dad's face. He must have been killed by you. Woo woo... I want Dad." Zhou Yuanyuan reached out and wiped her eyes. Whenever she thought of her past life, Zhou Yuanyuan's tears flowed down.
In a dream? His face was covered in blood? Li Dafu felt uneasy when he heard this. Could it be that Zhou Chunping had killed his own son? Otherwise, how could such a supernatural thing happen?
In the countryside of Yuyuan County, there has always been a rumor that "people will appear in dreams after death." Li Chunjiao was forced to hang herself by Zhou Chunping and others yesterday, so it is no wonder that Li Dafu would think so.
"You little bastard, you're talking nonsense!" Zhou Chunping saw the faces of the people around him change, and quickly scolded them, raising his hand to hit Zhou Yuanyuan.
Seeing this, Wen Ziqing gently pulled Zhou Yuanyuan behind him. There was no expression on Wen Ziqing's face, but his posture was clear. If Zhou Chunping dared to hit Zhou Yuanyuan, he would definitely pounce on him first and tear him to pieces.
"Oh my! I thought the Zhou family would be cruel to people with outsiders! It turns out they don't even let their own son go?" Li Dafu felt more and more uneasy as he thought about it, and he couldn't help but retort to Zhou Chunping.
"What nonsense? Zhixin is not at home. He left a long time ago, that night." Zhou Chunping was a little panicked. Did Zhou Zhixin really not return to Zhaojiagou? Does that mean he is really dead? If Zhou Zhixin is dead, does it mean that the money of the noble man does not need to be repaid?
I have to say that Zhou Chunping's nerves are really strong. At this moment, he can still think of the money given by the benefactor from Zhou Zhixin.
"Which night?" Zhao Qingshan pressed.
"That day, that day..." Zhou Chunping was so flustered that he forgot the exact date Zhou Zhixin came back. He could only say, "It was the night when Widow He's niece was caught in adultery."
"Haha, Zhou Chunping, you really lie without blinking! I've asked people a long time ago, and Zhixin didn't leave Zhoujia Village at all on the day he came back. Late at night, there were noises coming from your house, and you and Zhou Zhigang asked Zhou Zhixin to have a midnight snack together." Zhao Qingshan heard what Zhou Yuanyuan said about what happened that night, and now he started to criticize Zhou Chunping, and every time he criticized him, he hit the mark.
"Zhixin had a midnight snack and left. Yes, he had a midnight snack and left." Zhou Chunping panicked even more. Who was Zhao Qingshan asking about? Did anyone in Zhoujia Village see what happened that night? Then... then... someone also saw them carrying Zhou Zhixin's "corpse" out of the house that night?
Whenever Zhou Chunping thought of this possibility, the sweat on his face flowed down like a stream.
"Gone? Where did Zhou Zhixin go? You, Zhou Chunping, should find someone to testify!" Zhao Qingshan looked at Zhou Chunping with disdain in his eyes.
Zhou Chunping moved his lips, wanting to say something, but there was nothing to say. Yeah! No one in their right mind would leave home in the dead of night. But Zhou Zhixin was going back to Zhaojiagou, not during the day, but insisting on waiting until after supper? Wasn't that just mentally ill?
Seeing Zhao Qingshan and Li Dafu's aggressive attitude, Zhou Chunping secretly resented Wu Jinfeng and his two sons. Knowing that Zhao Qingshan and Li Dafu were up to no good, they were hiding in their rooms. What on earth were they trying to achieve?
"Stop talking nonsense, Zhou Chunping! Hand Zhou Zhixin over to me right now. My daughter doesn't have to cling to your Zhou family. Tell Zhou Zhixin to go to town and get a divorce." Zhao Qingshan saw Zhou Chunping like this, and secretly despised him. He did bad things but was afraid of being discovered, and he was a whore but still wanted to maintain a chastity archway. This is what Zhou Chunping is like.
"Yes, we want to see him alive or dead. Zhou Zhixin is not with you? We suspect that you murdered him. Let's go to the police station and tell the truth. What did you, Zhou Chunping, do to your son? You know it in your heart." Zhao Guohui looked fierce.
