"Murder must be punished by death. Return my poor daughter-in-law and grandson to us, return them to us." An old woman's miserable cry drifted into the Zhang family.
Zhang Meng hurriedly got up and ran outside her house, where she saw an old woman kneeling in front of her door and four little girls in mourning.
Next to the group of four stood a man with a somewhat dull expression. He was the pregnant woman's husband that Zhang Meng met yesterday.
When the old woman heard the door open, she immediately looked up and saw someone coming out. Without thinking, she pulled her four granddaughters to her knees and cried, "Killing people, this family killed my daughter-in-law and grandson. Give me back my daughter-in-law and grandson."
Zhang Meng glanced at the four people kneeling on the ground, and quickly walked up to the middle-aged man who looked like he was in a trance. "Comrade, what's going on between you and your family?"
The middle-aged man slowly raised his eyes. When he saw Zhang Meng's face, his wooden face finally showed some expression, but it was anger. "How dare you come out like this? It's all your fault. You killed my wife and son. You killed them. Give them back to me."
As the man spoke, he suddenly hugged his head and squatted on the ground, sobbing.
Such a big commotion in front of Zhang's house naturally attracted many villagers to come and watch.
"What's going on with the Zhang family? Who are these people?"
"Haven't you heard? It seems Zhang Meng killed the daughter-in-law of this family. Two lives lost."
"No way, it's so tragic." Listening to the discussions of the villagers around him, Zhang Meng's face darkened and he sneered, "It's funny. Your wife and son are gone, what does it have to do with me?"
"How can it be okay? If you hadn't touched my wife's belly, her stomach wouldn't have exploded as soon as she got home. She wouldn't even know where the baby in her belly went. If it wasn't you, who else could do this? You're the only one who can do this."
The middle-aged man was cursing and had a runny nose, it was so disgusting.
Zhang Meng immediately laughed out loud as if she had heard a huge joke. This was truly a case of lying at home and having troubles brought upon themselves.
She had clearly warned the couple yesterday that they couldn't keep the baby, but they insisted on having it. Now that something has happened, they are putting the blame on her. Do they really think that she is easy to bully because she is so thin and small?
The middle-aged man with a snotty face made Zhang Meng laugh. She forgot to cry and looked at Zhang Meng in fear. "You, what are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at you, the thief crying thief. Your wife was killed by you and your son. Now you want to pin the murder on me, right?"
The middle-aged man yelled, "You are slandering me. My wife is pregnant with my son. How could I possibly kill her?"
"Oh, God, please open your eyes and take a look. It's really unfair that someone slandered us, mother and son, just because she is a witch." The old woman cried bitterly and slapped the ground with her hands.
The four girls next to her were also crying loudly, shouting, "Mom, I want Mom, I want Mom."
For a moment, the scene was extremely chaotic.
Zhang Meng's ears were almost deafened by what she heard. Unable to bear it any longer, she yelled, "Enough, stop crying. You're forcing me to tell you the truth, right? Fine, I'll tell it to you in front of everyone. I want to see who took this life."
She first walked up to the old woman and asked harshly, "Let me ask you, did you get a secret recipe for fertility from another witch and give it to your daughter-in-law?"
The old woman, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, sniffed and said proudly, "So what? I spent a lot of money to buy that secret recipe for having a child. The witch said that as long as my daughter-in-law takes her medicine, she will be able to give birth to a big fat boy for my Zhong family."
Zhang Meng looked at her ignorant expression and snorted coldly, "Big fat boy, I think you're going to kill your daughter-in-law. Let me tell you, that medicine isn't a secret recipe for having a baby. It's a labor-inducing drug made from dead babies. If you take it, the fetus will be a monster and will eventually eat its mother. You've killed your daughter-in-law, don't you understand?"
The old woman looked panicked and shouted at Zhang Meng, "You're talking nonsense. It's impossible. Wan Shenpo wouldn't lie to me."
