Chapter 45 All good things must come to an end
Xu Dehuai was very upset. If killing was not illegal, Liu Weiyang would have died long ago.
But now, he could only listen to Liu Weiyang's nagging patiently.
"You've drunk too much, just sleep here. I'll get you a bed and quilt." He was too lazy to argue with Liu Weiyang. The fire was lit in the kitchen, so it shouldn't be cold if a bed and quilt were added.
As soon as he turned around, Liu Weiyang grabbed him, venting his anger, "Why did my father only come to me? Why didn't he come to you? We were the ones who did it back then!"
Xu Dehuai frowned, suppressed his emotions and said in a deep voice: "You are drunk."
"I'm not drunk!" Liu Weiyang's eyes were red as he grabbed Xu Dehuai by the collar. "How many times have I told you to find someone to perform a ritual? Why didn't you listen?"
A murderous look flashed across Xu Dehuai's eyes. He forcefully shook off Liu Weiyang's hand, "The higher-ups have clearly forbidden this kind of feudal superstition. How could you possibly think of asking me to find someone to perform a ritual?"
"Besides, it's been so many years since the incident, your father has long been reincarnated, so stop scaring yourself."
Liu Weiyang has been staying up all night these days. His eyes are bloodshot and his eye sockets are sunken. He looks particularly hideous and ferocious.
"I scared myself? I saw my father's shadow with my own eyes that night! And his old pipe suddenly appeared on my bed. How could I lie to you about such a thing?"
Xu Dehuai half-closed his eyes, "You've been drunk all day, you must be hallucinating."
Although Xu Dehuai also suspected whether this incident was man-made, it had been more than ten years since the incident happened. How could someone bring it up when there was no evidence to prove it?
He concluded that Liu Weiyang had no money to spend, so he was making trouble by doing this in order to get some benefits.
"I didn't!" Liu Weiyang insisted, "It must be Daddy! Yes! It must be him, he's here to take our lives!"
Seeing him talking incoherently, Xu Dehuai pressed his shoulders and said, "Calm down!"
After taking a deep breath, he said, "How about this, I'll give you some money and you can stay in the city for a few days!"
As he spoke, he took out a big unity banknote from the inside pocket of his coat.
Liu Weiyang's cloudy eyes suddenly brightened up. He snatched the Great Unity and hid it in his pocket. "I listen to you. My father's wronged spirit has been lingering in the village. If I go to the city, he won't be able to find me!"
Looking at his demeanor, Xu Dehuai concluded that his guess was correct. This old guy was just here to make money.
It can be considered as spending money to avoid disaster. Otherwise, if he really continued to make trouble like this, the neighbors around would definitely become suspicious, and if other problems came up, it would be troublesome.
Outside the kitchen, Li Beibei heard their conversation clearly and was shocked that there was such a secret between them.
It really is true that there is always a way out. She was originally worrying about how to refuse the marriage, but now that she has this handle, won’t Xu Dehuai let her control her?

The morning light fills the fields.
The weather cleared up, Liu Xi packed up his luggage and planned to go into the city. Jiang Huaichuan specially borrowed a donkey cart from the brigade, and the two waited for people at the village entrance.
Jiang Wanying arrived late, pulling Li Wei with her. Both of them were carrying a lot of things, big and small.
"Brother Erxi, this is the steamed buns my aunt made. You can keep them for when you get hungry on the road!" Jiang Wanying climbed into the car and placed half of the food at Liu Xi's feet. "And these are the cloth shoes she made. You can wear them now that spring has arrived!"
Xu Hongping has no children, so she loves the younger generations who often come to her home to play very much.
For those who have lacked maternal love since childhood, even the slightest kindness from others will touch them for a long time.
