After being confronted by Su Mingyue yesterday, and given Bai Yuxiao's attitude, Yang Qiaoqiao no longer disregarded Su Mingyue as before, and instead became somewhat ingratiating.
After all, she was only willing to continue using her own money to subsidize the Bai family's meals if she made Su Mingyue happy.
Seeing this, Su Mingyue couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
It's true what they say: a kind person is often bullied, and a good horse is often ridden!
What our ancestors said is absolutely true!
Furthermore, the husband's attitude determines one's status in his family!
When he lost his temper, he broke off relations with Yang Qiaoqiao and Zhang Aihua, and Bai Yuxiao supported him.
Yang Qiaoqiao, who was arrogant and sarcastic before, can actually speak to me in a flattering tone!
Thinking that one shouldn't hit a smiling face, after all, she was going to marry Bai Yuxiao in the future. No matter how unwilling she was, Yang Qiaoqiao was her second sister-in-law, and she still had to maintain certain boundaries.
Su Mingyue said without changing her expression, "My stomach is a little uncomfortable."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yuxiao immediately stepped forward and asked with concern, "Mingyue, are you alright?"
"It's alright, Yuxiao. My stomach feels much better after using the restroom. Okay, you guys go back to work now."
"kindness."
Zhang Aihua came out of the house and muttered, "That's strange, where did Zuo and You go? They were nowhere to be seen at breakfast time..."
"They've probably gone off to play somewhere again. When they come back, they'll eat cornbread themselves. We've saved it all. Third sister-in-law, let's hurry up and go to work, or we'll be late."
"I understand, wait for me."
Zuo Zuo is the son of Yang Qiaoqiao and Bai Tianyou, a four-year-old brother. You You is the daughter of Zhang Aihua and Bai Tieshu, a four-year-old sister.
The two families had their first children around the same time, so Zuoyou and Youyou grew up together, had a very good relationship, and often played together.
Children in the countryside are raised freely. The adults have to work every day to earn work points and have no time to take care of them, so they can only let them be.
Su Mingyue didn't take the matter to heart; after all, those were the children of the second and third wives, and had nothing to do with her.
Now that she has completely won over Bai Yuxiao, Su Mingyue is only thinking about how their family can make a living and how their lives can get better and better...
Around noon, Shi Minghui arrived at the Chu family's house with two policemen from the town.
Since the Chu family members were all at work, Ye Nian'an closed the medical station and rushed back to cooperate with the police.
After communicating the information and clues we have so far, the police officer said rather perfunctorily, "Okay, we have a general understanding of the situation. We will do our best to investigate this serious incident."
The implication is that they don't have much hope for this matter.
Catching the thief is certainly good; this is all thanks to the walking.
However, neither Jiang Nuan, who was attacked, nor the Chu family, whose property was stolen, saw the thief himself.
Ask around the neighborhood and take their statements. If no one comes forward with any clues, the matter will simply be left unresolved, with no solution whatsoever.
"Officer, I do have a lead, but I'm not sure about it. I wonder if it could be of some use to you?"
"Oh? Comrade Ye Nian'an, you go ahead."
Ye Nian'an revealed all her suspicions about Su Mingyue.
“During the period when my house was burgled, Su Zhiqing happened to be away from the Bai family for a very long time. The Bai family can all testify to this, which means she has a solid alibi.”
"In addition, she had previously written a letter of complaint against me, which I later found witnesses to expose, so she also had a motive to retaliate against our Chu family. I think it is reasonable to start from Su Zhiqing's side."
After a moment of silence, the police captain spoke up: "Comrade Ye Nian'an, based on the clues you provided, we will question Su Zhiqing, but without concrete evidence, we cannot arbitrarily accuse someone."
Ye Nian'an's lips curled into a smile: "Who said there's no evidence?"
"Officers, have you forgotten the most important person?"
"That's Jiang Zhiqing, the one who was attacked and knocked unconscious by a thief in my house!"
The police officer was slightly taken aback: "But...didn't Jiang Zhiqing say that she was attacked and knocked unconscious by a thief as soon as she came in, and didn't have time to see who it was?"
"But she also said that she gets a headache every time she thinks about it and has symptoms of memory lapse. I am a doctor and I can help her relieve the pain and restore her memory through acupuncture."
"As long as Jiang Zhiqing can still recall how she felt at that time, we might be able to find a breakthrough from that point, or even reconstruct the scene and find the murderer!"
"..."
This is indeed a feasible solution.
If Jiang Nuan, as a key witness, can recall details about the murderer, that would be ideal, as it would be irrefutable evidence!
“Officer, if anyone really found the thief, they should have come to tell me. I’ve asked around, and everyone said they were either at home or in the back hills at the time, and they didn’t see him.”
"Why don't we try Comrade Ye Nian'an's method, as a last resort?"
Shi Minghui didn't have much hope for getting statements from nearby villagers, because he had already done that before.
"Okay, let's use this method! Where is that educated youth, Jiang?"
"She didn't go to work today; she's recuperating at a villager's house."
"..."
Jiang Nuan was lying on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Looking back on the past six months since she arrived at the educated youth settlement, Jiang Nuan felt a surge of grievances and an urge to cry.
Why is my life so miserable when I was perfectly fine?
Everything started from the moment I decided to go to the countryside.
In fact, Jiang Nuan didn't want to go to the countryside at all, but she was of a certain age and every household had to send at least one person to the countryside.
Jiang Nuan is the only female child. She has older and younger brothers. If it were to go to the countryside, it wouldn't be their turn.
If I hadn't gone to the countryside and stayed in the city, none of this would have happened.
He worked himself to death, never got enough to eat or wear, was bullied, slapped, and almost died...
Just then, there was a knocking sound at the door.
Jiang Nuan could only wipe away her tears and go to open the door.
When Jiang Nuan saw that it was Ye Nian'an and the others, she was slightly taken aback: "What are you doing here?"
At this moment, the police officer stepped forward and said, "We have some questions for you regarding the theft that happened yesterday."
"Don't be nervous, Jiang Zhiqing, just tell me what you know."
"I...I understand...but I've already told the captain everything I can. As for anything else, I really have no memory of it."
Although Jiang Nuan wanted to catch the murderer, she instinctively resisted recalling that life-or-death moment yesterday.
As a result, I now speak a bit hesitantly.
No matter how the police questioned her or tried to help her recall the details, Jiang Nuan kept saying she didn't know and couldn't remember.
