Qian Jinshu limped to Chen Cuizhen and took the box that Qian Jiaojiao gave her.
He handed it to Shitou and said, "Take a look, is this Dandan's box?"
Shitou took the box and looked at it carefully. "It must be the one Dandan used to keep her money in."
Qian Jinshu's mind went blank. After a long pause, he asked in a trembling voice, "You mean, Dandan was still at home before you were taken to the detention center?"
Shitou nodded and said, "I asked many people, and no one has seen Dandan since that day."
The two people were silent, their hearts were filled with turmoil.
Chen Cuizhen waited for a long time but Qian Jinshu didn't show up. "Oh no! Could it be that Yin Qiang stole the box?"
She hurried over to take a look and saw that Qian Jinshu and the others were both sitting in the pavilion motionless, and the box was actually held in Shi Tou's hand.
Chen Cuizhen quickly stepped forward and snatched the box. "This is the money my daughter gave me. What do you want to do?"
The two men finally came to their senses. Qian Jinshu gritted his teeth and said to Shi Tou, "Alright, don't interfere in our family affairs.
Dandan, we will go find it ourselves, you can go back now."
Qian Jinshu took Chen Cuizhen back to the bus stop along the same route, and Shitou followed behind without saying a word. No matter how harshly Chen Cuizhen cursed, he followed closely.
The bus had not arrived yet, but a police car drove towards Qian Jiaojiao's village.
Chen Cuizhen's eyelids twitched, and she looked towards Qian Jiaojiao's house with some worry.
Shi Tou was stunned for a moment, then immediately walked towards Qian Jiaojiao's house. He wanted to ask Qian Dan's aunt where Qian Dan had gone.
Seeing that Shitou was going to look for Qian Jiaojiao, Qian Jinshu quickly told Chen Cuizhen, "Mom, wait here for me. I'll go take a look and come back."
Qian Jinshu called Shitou, and the two of them walked towards Qian Jiaojiao's house together.
Everyone in the village ran towards Qian Jiaojiao's house. "Hurry, hurry! The police went to Old Li's house. I don't know what's going on."
As soon as Shitou heard this, he ran away, and Qian Jinshu dragged his lame leg and walked forward desperately.
As soon as Shi Tou ran to the gate, he saw that the police had handcuffed Qian Jiaojiao, who was still struggling desperately.
Two policemen dragged her out, one on each side. Shi Tou squeezed out of the crowd and asked Qian Jiaojiao loudly, "Where is Dandan?"
Qian Jiaojiao raised her head and asked him fiercely, "Were you the one who called the police?"
Shitou quickly shook his head, "It's not me. Tell me where Dandan is."
Qian Jiaojiao sneered, "I don't know."
When the police car started, Qian Jinshu finally arrived panting. He opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.
Chen Cuizhen looked anxiously in the direction of Qian Jiaojiao's house, and a police car came over with sirens blaring.
Chen Cuizhen held onto the bus stop pole and tried to keep her balance.
When the police car drove past her, she saw Qian Jiaojiao in the car.
"Jiaojiao! Jiaojiao!"
Chen Cuizhen ran a few steps after the police car, then staggered towards the side of the road, holding her chest. Before she could sit down, her body fell into the ditch on the side of the road.
Those who were waiting for the bus at the bus stop ran into the village to watch the excitement, and no one noticed Chen Cuizhen who had fainted in a ditch by the roadside.
Everyone gathered at Li Mingxin's house, talking about it, "Oh my God! Chen Anan is actually a murderer on the run.
He always smiles when he meets everyone, who would have thought this would happen?"
"That's right! Even the name is fake. Didn't you hear what the police said? Her name is Jiaojiao."
"Oh my God, she actually waved the apple knife she was peeling at the police, but luckily the police kicked it away.
I saw the policeman kick her."
Li Mingxin's eldest brother and his family rushed over.
His sister-in-law helped his mother-in-law, who was sitting on the ground, up, and his brother chased them away and closed the door.
Shi Tou and Qian Jinshu were also driven out.
The gate was closed, but the villagers refused to leave. They stayed outside the gate and continued to gossip, and more and more people came.
The mother-in-law came to her senses and started to cry loudly, "Damn Xiu Gu, you actually introduced a murderer into our home.
And Chen Anan, that bitch, actually dared to deceive us for so many years. How can our family hold our heads high in the village in the future?"
Li Mingxin sat in the wheelchair without saying a word, and his father also ran back.
The family sat down to discuss the matter, and his father cleared his throat, "Mingxin, this has happened.
We have no choice but to file for divorce before Chen Anan is shot, and we can’t let her be registered with our family…”
Li Mingxin interrupted his father, "Dad, An An is still pregnant with my child..."
His mother immediately interrupted him, "Mingxin, we can't have that child.
If a child has a mother who is a murderer, he will never be able to hold his head up high for the rest of his life.
After you divorce her, I'll find you another one with a clean family background."
Li Mingxin's eldest brother sighed, "Now, that child is Chen Anan's life-saving talisman, she will definitely give birth to it.
What should I do next?"
His mother thought for a moment and said, "When the police came to arrest her, you didn't see Chen Anan holding a knife and not allowing the police to get close to her.
I was so scared at the time that I even advised the police not to do anything, saying that she was pregnant.
If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have said anything and let the police use force to handcuff her, which might have resulted in the abortion of the child.
Alas, now it’s a problem. If the baby is really born, do you think we should raise it or not?”
Amidst the clamor, Qian Jinshu grabbed Shitou by the collar and asked with red eyes, "Tell the truth, did you call the police?"
Shi Tou hurriedly swore and said that he was not the one who called the police.
Qian Jinshu pointed at his nose and said, "Yin Qiang, how could it be such a coincidence? We just found Jiaojiao and the police came right after."
Shi Tou sighed, "Uncle, it really wasn't me.
I love Dandan so much, how could I do such a thing?
I guess the police have been watching your house, and they followed you as soon as you went out.
Let’s find Dandan as soon as possible.”
Qian Jinshu half-believed and half-doubted and let go of his hand, "I will believe you for now.
But if I find out that it was you who did this, I will never let you go!"
When the two arrived at the bus stop, Chen Cuizhen was nowhere to be seen.
Qian Jinshu called twice, but no one answered.
He thought Chen Cuizhen had also followed him to Qian Jiaojiao's house, so he immediately turned around and limped towards Qian Jiaojiao's house.
Shitou spotted Chen Cuizhen lying in the ditch with his sharp eyes, "Uncle, come here quickly! Grandma is in the ditch!"
Qian Jinshu hurried back and saw Chen Cuizhen lying motionless in the ditch. Qian Jinshu's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
