No matter how the parties involved tried to cover up and quibble, the truth came out that afternoon.
Chen Xiaocao lost all the benefits from her husband's family and the supervision of her parents-in-law. She already disliked her foolish husband, so she simply had an affair.
She got together with Meng Quan, a bachelor who lived not far next door.
Meng Quan is his parents' late-born son, and there is a big age gap between him and his older brothers and sisters.
Since childhood, he was not only spoiled by his parents, but also given in by his brothers and sisters, which made him develop a lazy and overambitious character.
His family was extremely poor and he himself was a lazy idiot, so no one in the village or outside looked up to him.
Therefore, several marriage proposals proposed in the early years did not come to fruition.
After his parents passed away one after another, no one bothered to take care of him, and he gradually became a bachelor.
Although Meng Quan has a lot of shortcomings, he is tall and strong, has a decent appearance, and can coax people. In any case, he is better than a fool.
One was an old bachelor in his thirties, and the other was a pretty wife who had unlucky husbands. After a few glances, they got together.
At first they didn't think much of it, they just wanted to find a deserted place to have a secret affair and seek some excitement.
But when there is deep physical communication between men and women, it is inevitable that someone will die.
Chen Xiaocao realized that she was pregnant.
Yesterday afternoon, she hurriedly went to Meng Quan to discuss something, completely unaware that someone was following her.
When the two met, Meng Quan's mind was full of things that were not suitable for children. Without waiting for her to say anything, he pinned her down and beat her up.
After calming down, Zhang Xiaocao found an opportunity to tell them the purpose of their visit. The two were discussing whether to let the fool be their cheap father. As a result, when the word "fool" was mentioned, the fool who had followed them secretly thought it was funny and thought it was his wife calling him, so he actually stuck his head in from outside the door and answered.
The two of them were almost scared to death.
But fools are easy to coax and fool.
Meng Quan and Chen Xiaocao calmed their frightened hearts, fooled the fool with a few words, and sent him aside. However, they were worried that the fool would let the cat out of the bag at any time, so to be on the safe side, the two of them simply discussed and planned the murder.
As soon as she got up this morning, Chen Xiaocao tricked her silly husband into going out to the mountains to catch pheasants. After more than half an hour, she called for dinner but he was nowhere to be found. So she went out to look for him and sent her son somewhere else.
Then find the fool and take him to Eagle Cliff.
Meng Quan was already waiting at Eagle Cliff, and the two of them worked together to push the fool down the mountain.
One returned to the village along the same route to clean up the traces, while the other went down the cliff to ensure that everyone was dead.
The plan was quite thorough and detailed. If Feng Youcai hadn't meddled in their affairs, they would have most likely been able to get away with it.
However, the two parties were caught halfway, and neither of them was the kind of person who would disregard their own lives for a few moments of pleasure.
Meng Jiemin and others confessed everything after a short interrogation.
Mengjia Village, which had been quiet due to the cold weather, was in an uproar over this incident.
The villagers were no longer afraid of the cold. They came out of their homes, shivering, drinking water and eating melons in the north wind.
Feng Yijia and Meng Sheng didn't want to pay attention to this matter, but they knew the cause and effect of the matter at the first time.
There was no way out. Meng Chengyuan was their uncle from another family and had only one underage son. People in the village valued personal relationships very much. If they didn't help in matters of life and death, they would be drowned by the spit of others.
The two murderers were interrogated in front of Meng Chengyuan's spirit.
Not only did they hear the entire process of the crime, they also saw the wild mandarin ducks fighting.
In order to lessen their guilt, the two of them immediately transitioned from being in love to being mortal enemies, each saying that the other seduced them and that the other came up with the idea of killing them.
They blamed each other and made a big scene.
Poor Meng Ping braved the wind and snow to search for his father in and outside the village for a long time, only to find out that his father was gone and was killed by his own mother. He was completely unable to accept it.
Kneeling in the cold yard, listening to the noise beside him, he looked like a lost soul, dumbfounded and without any reaction.
So old man Meng Anchang had no choice but to take the lead in arranging the funeral.
The eldest son Meng Chengbai led several grandsons to make a coffin.
Meng Sheng went to the village to call his parents and his great-grandmother in the provincial capital to report the news, and also went to the police station to report the incident.
Feng Yijia became the daughter-in-law of the Meng family, so this time she couldn't stay out of it. She followed Old Lady Meng and her two cousins to help prepare mourning clothes and linen, and fold gold ingots and paper money.
This time, the old lady and her two sisters-in-law were not like before. When they saw Feng Yijia, they either looked down on her or ignored her. Instead, they all spoke to her enthusiastically.
The eldest cousin's wife said, "Fourth brother's wife, the tiger bones really sold for 30,000 or 40,000 yuan. Did you hand it all over to the village?"
Because Meng Sheng is the fourth child in the family, Feng Yijia was given this name.
Second cousin's wife: "Fourth sister-in-law, where did you pick up the tiger bones?
Take us there someday, maybe we can pick up some and make a fortune."
Old Lady Meng: "Girl Feng, have you sold all the tiger bones?
Is there any left?
Your grandfather and I both have cold legs. The pain is so severe in the winter that we can't sleep well at night. I heard that thing is good for the body.
If there is any, the old woman will ask for some wine to drink."
The son and daughter-in-law went to the city, and the old couple waited at home for their grandson to take the initiative to show him filial piety. After all, in the past, they had a share of any good things in their youngest son's family.
As a result, after waiting for several days, that unfilial boy Meng Sheng didn't show up at all. Old Mrs. Meng had no choice but to ask for it herself.
They were all thinking about taking advantage. As for the death of the fool Meng Chengyuan, probably no one would be very sad except his mother in the provincial capital and his son in the courtyard.
The main reason why Feng Yijia doesn't like visiting friends and chatting with people in groups, besides being used to being alone, is this.
When they hear that someone has made money, they are like cats that smell fishy, and they all want to take a bite.
I prefer those who are relatives and friends, so it is difficult to refuse them.
Without her parents-in-law and husband to stand in front of her, Feng Yijia could only figure out how to speak on her own.
"Yes, I asked Doctor Zhang to buy it. He knows a lot of rich people, so he bought it for just over 30,000 yuan and paid the contract fee."
"I found it deep in the mountains. I got lost while collecting herbs and came across it by accident.
When the snow melts in spring, my second cousin's wife wants to come and talk to me.
I'll take you into the mountains to look for it, but the place is a bit far and dangerous, and it will take two or three days to go there and back."
“Grandma, all the tiger bones have been sold.
However, when I first got it, I didn't know it was so valuable. I heard that tiger bone wine is good for the body, so I got a piece to make wine.
The time is not right yet. When it is ready to drink in a few days, let Meng Sheng send some to you and grandpa!"
