On the way home from leaving the company, Tian Yuzhu mentioned Zhao Xiaoman to Shi Zhentang. She thought, "Maybe she knows some inside information. Don't be fooled by her carefree appearance. She's a potential stock."
Shi Zhentang didn't understand what the term "potential stock" meant, so he went straight to the point and asked, "Do you want me to ask He Chong to check her background?"
Just now, while chatting with the village party secretary in the office, he called He Chong.
Someone has been helping to track down Shi Xiaoli's whereabouts. Now that she's back, he needs to tell her what's going on.
In fact, He Chong already knew the whole story of the case. The two old comrades chatted for a few words on the phone, and the other party also told Shi Zhentang that according to the confession of the human trafficking leader Ahua, Lu Juanjuan had been his mistress for a period of time when he was in the provincial capital.
Just based on this point, it is impossible to accuse Lu Juanjuan of trafficking Shi Xiaoli, because she could easily change her confession and say that she was forced by Ahua.
It will be difficult to determine the nature of this case unless Shi Xiaoli's condition improves and she can describe the situation herself.
Now facing his wife, Shi Zhentang did not tell her the content of the phone call for the time being.
After all, Lu Juanjuan cannot be convicted. This is a bad thing, so it’s better not to let her know.
Tian Yuzhu, who was completely unaware, refused, "Then there's no need to trouble others. I think Zhao Xiaoman and I get along pretty well. Maybe she'll tell me herself one day."
When the young couple returned home, Tian Yuzhu told everyone that she had received two more garment jobs at the educated youth center.
The three women, including the old lady, were very happy. What's more, this small business seemed to be growing bigger and bigger.
The next day, everyone worked even harder.
In a short time, two-thirds of the work was completed, and the rest of the work, such as ordering buttons, was left to the old lady.
In addition, Tian Yuzhu asked Shi Zhentang to go to the town again to buy some cloth.
The two female educated youth from the Second Commune still lack the material for their shirts!
The man resigned himself to buying cloth, while Tian Yuzhu was busy making clothes, and from time to time she would go to the kitchen to check on the medicine she was preparing for Shi Xiaoli.
She drank it once in the morning, but it didn't have much effect. She drank it again at noon, and Shi Xiaoli stopped screaming like crazy in the afternoon.
This surprised and delighted the old lady. When she had time, she quietly went to the old courtyard to take a look. Shi Xiaoli's hands were indeed still tied to the pillar, but she seemed to be more relaxed and no longer so nervous.
The old lady glanced at Shi De who was dozing off and snorted, "Ade, you should thank Yuzhu that Xiaoli is not making a fuss now. If she hadn't learned these herbal medicines from the military doctor, Xiaoli would still be making a fuss like yesterday."
Shi De raised his eyelids and looked at the old lady, but he couldn't refute it.
Shi Xiaoli did show some changes after drinking the medicine, but he was still vaguely worried. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Mom, will the herbal medicine harm the baby in my belly?"
The old lady's face suddenly turned ugly. "Look at you, I knew you would think that way. Let me tell you, even if something happens to the baby in Xiaoli's belly, it's her fate. It has nothing to do with Yuzhu. If you keep thinking about playing tricks like this, I'll tell Yuzhu not to give her the medicine."
"I was just saying it casually!" Shi De looked helpless.
"You're not allowed to even talk about it. Don't be so ungrateful."
It seemed that there was no way to talk to this man. He would get angry if she did, so the old lady turned around and went back to the new courtyard.
As soon as she left, someone entered the old courtyard.
Shi De didn't raise his eyes when he heard the noise. He thought it was the old lady scolding him again, so he pretended to sleep.
But then a voice rang in my ears: "Uncle..."
"ah!"
Shi De jumped up in fright. Who the hell came up behind him so quietly and without making any noise beforehand?
When he stood firm and saw that it was Lu Juanjuan, he immediately became even more angry: "What are you doing here? Get out of here."
"Uncle, I can leave, but you have to listen to what I have to say." Lu Juanjuan specially combed her hair today and braided it into two braids like before. With this look, she didn't look so sloppy.
She said seriously, "To be honest, I don't want Xiaoli to become like this. We left the village to make money, but no one could have predicted what happened later.
Uncle, let’s not talk about what happened later. Think about what happened before. Our Shi family has been living a peaceful and stable life over the years. Ever since Tian Yuzhu came, my aunt went to jail, Xiaoli went crazy, and the third brother didn’t want you as his father.
Think about it, it's all because of Tian Yuzhu! Uncle, there's something I have to tell you. I've long suspected that Tian Yuzhu isn't a human being.
"What?" Shi De was stunned.
He understood what Lu Juanjuan said before. Her purpose was to let him know that all the changes in the family were because of Tian Yuzhu.
What does the following sentence "not a human" mean?
Lu Juanjuan looked back at the gate with a frightened look on her face, and then she whispered that the night before, she heard Tian Yuzhu admit that she was familiar with the leader wolf in the mountain, and that there were indeed wolves in the mountain later, but those wolves did not dare to come down the mountain!
After that, Lu Juanjuan asked mysteriously, "Uncle, do you know why those wolves don't come down the mountain?"
"Why?"
"Because they are afraid. There is something in Quanshui Village that scares them so much that they dare not enter the village. And that thing... is Tian Yuzhu."
"ah?"
Shi De's legs went weak when he heard this.
After all, he was a literate person, so he naturally didn't believe in these weird stories. However, considering what had happened in the past few months, some things really couldn't be explained clearly.
For example, Tian Yuzhu dared to ride on the back of a wolf and could catch prey that even the strongest man in the village could not catch.
Also, he remembered the pair of big yellow croakers that Yang Dahua mentioned.
What kind of person could catch two big yellow croakers at a time? According to the legend of the older generation in Quanshui Village, it was difficult to catch even one, but Tian Yuzhu caught big and many.
Also, Tian Yuzhu was obviously so stupid, how come she suddenly became so smart?
In short, there were too many things that could not be explained clearly, and Shi De's head suddenly started buzzing.
Before Lu Juanjuan said this, he had never thought about this issue.
At this moment, he asked somewhat obsessively, "You said Tian Yuzhu is not a human, then what is she? Besides, her own sister doesn't think there is anything wrong with her, so why do you say it is right?"
Lu Juanjuan sighed: "Uncle, her sister Tian Ying and grandma were all bewitched by her. As an observer, I am the only one who knows everything best. Tian Yuzhu knows witchcraft. She is not a human. She must be a fox spirit that ran out from the mountains.
If you don't believe me, look at her appearance. Where can you find such a pretty girl in the surrounding area? And now that she's not stupid, she's smart. Isn't she smarter than the women in the village? "
