"Village chief, it wasn't me! It was all that bastard's idea! Village chief, please find a master to help me!" Li Yonghe hurriedly begged for mercy.
He didn't want to get entangled with Fang Congshan, and he didn't want to die for no reason.
“Yes, yes, since my brother has become a vengeful ghost, let’s find a master to perform a ritual to subdue him,” Fang Hongmei said repeatedly.
Her brother used to treat her so well, giving her whatever she wanted.
She was just thinking of Fang Yuan's pitiful state and wanted to help her, so why was she so mean to her this time?
But since he dared to treat her like this, she would no longer acknowledge him, nor would she be polite to him.
"Hmph~ You've got the wrong person. Fang Yuan said that she received news yesterday that her father is still alive, and she has already taken her mother and younger siblings to find him."
Since she had received a bribe from Fang Yuan, the village chief wouldn't mind explaining things to her to avoid any misunderstandings.
Fang Hongmei is truly a heartless woman.
Back when Fang Congshan was around, he took advantage of people countless times.
Unexpectedly, only two years after he passed away, he actually wanted to sell his wife.
"What? My older brother is still alive? Then who did it last night?" Fang Hongmei asked anxiously.
If he's not dead, then who did what happened last night?
She never thought of Fang Yuan. After all, no matter how capable she was, she couldn't possibly move the cabinet and the bed away, could she?
Moreover, she was so badly injured yesterday that she was almost out of breath when they left.
“How would I know who did it? You’ll have to ask yourself. By the way, how did your mother-in-law die?” the village chief suddenly asked.
If it weren't for the sudden death of Old Lady Li, Fang Hongmei's life wouldn't be so leisurely.
Can she still go back to her parents' home and cause trouble?
"Exactly, could it be that your mother-in-law has come back?"
After the village chief said that, another villager chimed in.
They all know her mother-in-law; she seems kind on the surface, but she's ruthless behind the scenes!
"That goes without saying. Since Fang Congshan is still alive, it must be someone else. I wonder if it's that person!"
"Exactly, exactly, her mother-in-law is quite something too."
Several villagers were discussing it seriously.
Fang Hongmei's face also turned pale. "No, my mother-in-law died of illness. It has nothing to do with me."
It's been so many years, why bring this up now?
However, Li Yonghe, who was standing to the side, noticed his wife's guilty conscience and his heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that this wicked woman really killed my mother?
"Tell me, how did my mother pass away?" Li Yonghe stared intently at Fang Hongmei with a dark expression.
"I didn't, I really didn't," Fang Hongmei said guiltily, shaking her head.
Li Yonghe could tell at a glance that she was guilty, so he stepped forward and slapped her.
"You wretch! Did you kill my mother? I'm divorcing you! I'm divorcing you!"
Li Yonghe was almost certain that this bitch had killed his mother.
He used to work in town and rarely went home, but he was truly filial to his mother.
I never imagined that my mother was killed by this vicious woman.
"No, Mother caught a cold back then, it really had nothing to do with me."
She just couldn't bear to spend the money and didn't take her to see a doctor.
She prepared some herbal medicine for her to drink, but who knew that the medicine was not suitable for her condition, which led to her death.
"Alright, you can discuss your family matters behind closed doors. What are we going to do about them now?"
The village chief interrupted their argument, explaining that he had come to deal with Li Wan'er and Li Yuanbao's matter.
It's not about listening to them talk about these past events.
Of course, if Fang Hongmei really did kill someone, as the village chief and the head of the Li clan, he would definitely have to take action.
"No, village chief! Please tell them to let the two children go!"
When the topic turned to her child, Fang Hongmei became anxious again.
"That's right, those two kids were possessed by a ghost last night, they really didn't mean to go out, please let them go!"
Li Yonghe still loves his son and daughter dearly, so he's willing to put his mother's matter aside.
"You two children are already in this state. If you don't get married, you'll be drowned in a pig cage."
The village chief left no room for maneuver.
Hearing the village chief's words, Li Yuanbao and Li Wan'er could only look at their parents with tears in their eyes.
"Father, Mother~"
"Waaah~"
Seeing this, Li Yonghe had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Let them get married! Let them get married!"
"Alright! Let's get married within three days, to avoid any unforeseen complications." Village Chief Li made the decision immediately.
After saying this, he told the villagers to release the man, and they would get married three days later.
Fang Yuan was unaware of what was happening in Lijia Village.
When she asked the innkeeper to store her donkey cart, she discovered that there were still many horses and goods in the backyard, and someone was guarding the place.
She knew that there must be passing caravans staying temporarily at the restaurant.
Since that's the case, she doesn't need to go out and find a security escort agency.
She gave the waiter ten large coins and learned that the caravan was heading to the provincial capital.
She went to the chief's room and knocked on the door:
"Knock knock knock!"
Who is it?
A smartly dressed young man opened the door.
He glanced at Fang Yuan and asked impatiently, "Who are you looking for?"
"Excuse me for bothering you, but my family are hunters from the mountains. We often sell wild game here. May I ask if your caravan buys furs?"
Fang Yuan clasped his hands in a salute and then asked.
Hearing Fang Yuan's words, the man relaxed considerably.
Then he asked, "Hunter? What kind of fur do you have? We don't buy rabbit pelts or anything like that."
“It’s definitely not rabbit skin!” Fang Yuan deliberately looked around, then asked in a low voice, “Could we come inside to discuss this in detail?”
The young man glanced around the room, then nodded: "Come in!"
Fang Yuan then entered the room and discovered that it was much more luxurious than the one she had stayed in; it was a suite.
There is a living room outside, and the bedroom is inside.
At this moment, a middle-aged man was sitting in the living room. Judging from his clothes and demeanor, this man was the real leader of the caravan.
"This gentleman must be the leader. I, Fang Yuan, greet the leader."
The middle-aged man glanced at Fang Yuan discreetly, then smiled and asked:
"May I ask what kind of fur you possess, young man?"
“It’s a big cat skin, made by my father, and it’s very well made,” Fang Yuan replied earnestly.
Her heart was bleeding. She had secretly bought the tiger skin in the mall after learning about the caravan, and it cost her five gold coins.
She wanted to find a reason to strike up a conversation, but this thing is worth a lot of money if sold, so she shouldn't lose much.
"A big cat skin? That's a good thing. Do you have tiger bones or tiger penis?" The middle-aged man became interested.
He wanted tiger bones and tiger penis more than the fur.
Fang Yuan shook his head: "My father has already sold everything else. All that's left is this tiger skin. My mother and I are going to the provincial capital to find my father, and we were short of travel money, so we took this tiger skin out to sell."
Fang Yuan looked reluctant as she spoke.
"Oh? You're going to the provincial capital?" the middle-aged man asked meaningfully.
He already guessed why this kid was looking for him.
"Actually, it's not the provincial capital, but the capital. My father joined the army two years ago, and I recently heard that someone saw him in the capital, so I wanted to take my mother and siblings to see him."
Fang Yuan said with a calm expression.
Anyway, she was just going to the capital and was just hitching a ride.
