He looked at Xu Dehuai apologetically, and finally, under his gaze, turned and ran out of the yard to chase his mother.
In the empty courtyard, Xu Dehuai was the only one left. He leaned against the gate railing with his pipe in hand and took deep puffs.
Li Beibei walked into the Xu family's house covered in dirt and looked at the mess in the yard. She was not surprised at all because she had heard about it on the way back.
Xu Dehuai was very surprised that she came back alive, but his tone was unusually indifferent, "I was already planning to let you go, why did you come back?"
Li Beibei sneered: "So what you mean by letting me go is you knock me out and throw me into the mountains to fend for myself?"
Ever since she ran to Xu Dehuai to confront him in order to escape the marriage with Xu Guoqi, she heard the secret that rainy night. However, he promised not to force her anymore, but he took action against her in the blink of an eye.
That’s really cruel!
"Don't you want freedom? Do you think I can find any other way to send you away from the village?" Even though he was the head of the village, he did not have the right to let any educated youth go home casually.
He was sure that if he threw Li Beibei into the mountains, she would freeze to death if she didn't starve to death.
When he goes to the mountain to look for her body, he will say that she tried to escape and accidentally fell to her death. In this way, he will no longer be responsible and he can make her shut up forever and bury the secret in the dead person's stomach.
Looking at his hypocritical appearance, Li Beibei's eyes were filled with undisguised mockery and sarcasm, "Now, you don't have to pretend to be innocent in front of me."
She glanced around, a scornful smile on her lips. "It seems your wife and children have all run away, leaving you alone. What do you call that? A separation of wife and children? That's right, people like you deserve this fate!"
Xu Dehuai glanced at her with disdain in his narrow eyes. "I can't escape, but you'll be trapped in this shabby place for the rest of your life! No one can save you!"
Li Beibei was completely enraged by his words, her chest heaving up and down with anger. This old man, even in this state, still dared to laugh at her?
At this moment, a large group of people rushed in from outside, led by Jiang Dongfang, who was pulled out to uphold justice.
When he walked in, he first saw Li Beibei, whose hair was messy, her body was dirty, and she smelled bad. "Li Zhiqing, what's your response?"
There was no work to do in the brigade these days, and no work points were required. The villagers were busy preparing for the New Year, so no one noticed that Li Beibei had been missing for three days.
Li Beibei turned her back to them, pretending to have been crying as she wiped the mud off her face. She turned around, looking weak and aggrieved, and said, "Captain Jiang, you have to make the decision for me!"
Jiang Dongfang's face darkened. Even though he had some complaints about Li Beibei because of Fang Jiaxing's behavior, he was the captain of the brigade. Since the village chief Xu Dehuai had done such a thing, he was now a role model in the hearts of the villagers.
"you say."
Li Beibei was very dissatisfied with his indifferent attitude. She thought that he must be unwilling to help her because of that bitch Jiang Wanying. But it didn't matter. Now in front of so many people, he had no choice but to help her.
Li Beibei straightened her back, turned around and pointed at Xu Dehuai with resentment, saying: "I want to accuse Xu Dehuai of trying to murder me!"
The surrounding villagers looked at each other in bewilderment. Liao Yong's behavior had already shocked them, and now there was another one that made them even more shocked.
Jiang Dongfang realized that something was wrong and asked seriously, "Tell me what happened."
At this moment, Li Beibei felt extremely happy, because she wanted to return to Xu Dehuai all the suffering she had endured in the Xu family over the years!
"I think everyone should know that Liu Weiyang was shouting that the village was haunted a while ago. Just five nights ago, he came to find Xu Dehuai after drinking. I heard that they had an argument. Liu Weiyang said that Xu Dehuai and he were responsible for the death of the old village chief. He also asked why the old village chief's ghost only came to find him and not Xu Dehuai..."
