Chapter 94 The Problem Isn't Necessarily Boss Xie
"What?"
Suddenly, Zhou Ye felt as if the world had collapsed. It was as if countless needles were piercing his heart. An indescribable pain made it difficult for him to breathe and his thoughts were in turmoil!
A silent lament raged in her heart, causing her unbearable pain!
With trembling hands, she took a photograph from her pocket, pointed to the woman in the picture, and asked, "Is that her?"
This was her last glimmer of hope.
But……
After reading it, Manman sniffed and said decisively, "Yes, that's the grandma! Her head was severed! She was buried separately!"
Grandma said it was bad luck!
"And what about your grandfather?"
Zhou suppressed her inner sadness and asked.
Manman pouted and thought for a moment: "Grandpa is digging a hole. Grandpa doesn't like to talk. Grandma says that Grandpa is too kind and too soft-hearted!"
Kindness again?
Even the most serious illness wouldn't involve a severed head!
Therefore, Grandma was murdered.
It must be!
Manman was a little scared when she saw Zhou Ye's face change in an instant, but she still touched Zhou Ye's face with her little hand and asked with concern, "Sister, are you feeling unwell?"
"No!"
Suddenly remembering something, she asked, "Manman, your sister just gave you candy, why did you lift your clothes?"
Manman's eyes widened: "Grandma won't let me tell!"
"You can say, 'My sister saved you, she's a good person, right?'"
Zhou guided him slowly.
She knew that Manman's reaction was very strange!
Manman lowered her head and thought for a moment: "Hmm, my sister is a good person, I can tell her!"
Zhou looked at her encouragingly.
Holding a candy in her hand, Manman whispered, "This is our secret. Don't tell anyone, okay? Grandma said if anyone finds out..."
"I'm going to die!"
A warning bell rang in Zhou Ye's mind.
Why do you say that?
"I sleep with my grandma every day, and every time she makes me lift up my clothes so she can tickle me!"
Give me back my food!
But it hurts so much…
As she spoke, Manman pouted unhappily.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ye breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you sure no one else asked you to do this?"
"No, only Grandma! Grandma said that's because she loves me! She loves me the most!"
He said it with such naivety.
Zhou nodded: "I'll take you home!"
"good!"
Looking at the bewildered look in Xie Laoda's eyes, Zhou sighed. At first, he thought Xie Laoda was acting strangely, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.
Maybe Boss Xie really is a good person.
We walked slowly along the way and collected quite a few medicinal herbs.
When they got back to Manman's house, Xie Laoda was waiting at the door.
I only stood up when I saw the crowd.
"Uncle Xie, I've brought Manman back. Thank you so much for today! Manman was a huge help!"
Zhou also expressed his gratitude.
Old Xie laughed and said, "It's alright, it's alright. Manman is a good kid and knows the mountains very well."
If you ever go up the mountain, take her with you!
"That can be a lot of help!"
"Then there's no need for that, it's dangerous up in the mountains after all!" Zhou Ye refused with a smile.
Old Master Xie didn't seem to have any intention of giving up, insisting, "Manman is a warm-hearted child. She must be very happy to be able to help the educated youth from Zhou."
I also hope she can spend more time with you, so she can broaden her horizons.
Her parents passed away early, so it was just her grandmother and me taking care of her. We're not as well off as you young people!
Zhou remained silent, simply watching Xie Laoda. For some reason, it seemed Xie Laoda desperately wanted Manman to stay with him. Why?
"Uncle Xie is really kind-hearted! No wonder he's known for his kindness, it's true!"
Xie Laoda looked embarrassed for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense, everyone's just talking nonsense."
I'm just an honest person!
"I won't lie, her grandma woke up, so I took her home first!"
Who is it?
Zhou wasn't sure if he had seen it wrong, but the moment Aunt Cuihua spoke, Xie Laoda visibly shrank back.
Why?
Why does she see the emotion of fear?
Could it really be that they harmed Grandma?
For money?
Aunt Cuihua came out with a dazed look in her eyes, and when she saw Zhou Ye, her eyes were clearly filled with more joy.
"Zhou Zhiqing! You're back so soon? I was just thinking of taking a short rest! Oh, the house is all tidied up, why don't you come in and have some water!"
"No need! I still have things to do at the educated youth settlement." Thinking about her connection to her grandmother's death, Zhou Ye could no longer pretend to be indifferent.
Aunt Cuihua clicked her tongue regretfully: "Fine, you saved our Manman, so I should thank you properly."
Suddenly remembering something, she laughed again: "How about this, come to my house for dinner this afternoon and try my cooking!"
Just as Zhou was about to refuse, Aunt Cuihua pouted and said unhappily, "Zhou Zhiqing, you are our family's savior!"
You don't know, my son and daughter-in-law died young, this child is so pitiful!
This is our only hope!
"If I had been swept away by the flood that day, how could I, an old woman, have lived!"
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face. She wiped them away and held Zhou Ye's hand tightly as she cried, saying, "Child, your auntie truly wants to thank you!"
You saved our lives!
Are you complaining that your auntie's family is poor and doesn't have much good food? Don't worry, your auntie will kill a chicken for you!
I guarantee you'll enjoy it immensely!
Okay?
"good!"
Zhou Ye finally agreed!
Unexpectedly, Boss Xie's eyes widened in an instant, and the look in his eyes as he looked at Zhou Ye was terrifying!
Aunt Cuihua clapped her hands with a smile: "Great, great! Auntie's been waiting for you!"
"I'll be going now!"
Zhou also said goodbye. The reason she agreed was that she wanted to see what kind of people Xie Laoda and his wife were.
These two people look very strange!
Xie Laoda is a well-known good man in the village with a gentle personality, but he is clearly wary of, or rather, afraid of, Aunt Cuihua!
Manman was quite close to Aunt Cuihua.
He shook his head and returned to the educated youth settlement.
After two days of hard work, the house is taking shape.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the house is drying much faster...
In the afternoon, Zhou also found Su Yunzhou.
"What did you say? Aunt Cuihua wants you to come to her house for dinner?"
"right!"
Zhou hesitated, unsure whether he should voice his doubts.
"What's wrong?"
Su Yunzhou looked at Zhou Ye with suspicion and hesitation, which was not like Zhou Ye's usual personality.
"I feel that the problem might not be with Boss Xie, but could also be Aunt Cuihua!"
Su Yunzhou thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "That's possible. After all, you can know a person's face but not their heart!"
So you still agreed to have dinner?
Aren't you afraid of encountering danger?
Zhou Ye sneered: "Danger? When am I not in danger? I've been assassinated before, what's a little bit of this?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yunzhou guiltily touched his nose!
