Why would the village chief suddenly come to find Liu Jianjun?
He Mei opened the door: "Village Chief, what brings you here?"
Where is Liu Jianjun?
"I don't know. He hasn't been home for a long time. I told you before, but you didn't believe me, so there's nothing I can do," He Mei said helplessly, spreading her hands and shrugging.
She no longer cares about Liu Jianjun's life or death; it would be best if he were dead, so she wouldn't even need to get a divorce certificate.
"What about his sister?"
"She's having some trouble adjusting to the new environment and is resting inside. Shall I call her for you?"
Upon hearing this, the village chief waved his hand and turned to leave.
On the way, he encountered Feng Jianguo, the leader of the educated youth team, who looked hurried.
The village chief frowned and asked him, "What's wrong with you? Why are you walking in such a hurry?"
When Feng Jianguo saw that it was the village chief, he quickly grabbed his hand: "Village chief, it's you, that's great."
Someone from the next village said they found a man on the mountain, and his appearance somewhat resembled Liu, one of the educated youth sent to the countryside here.
I want to come to the He family's house to confirm if Liu Jianjun is still home before deciding whether to go and see if that person is indeed Liu Jianjun, the educated youth from our area.
"How is that person now?"
"I heard he was dead. We're here to see if anyone will come to claim him. If not, they'll just bury him anywhere."
Upon hearing this, the village chief's heart tightened. He then returned to the He family's house with Feng Aiguo.
After He Mei entered the house, she fetched water for Liu Caihong to wash up.
When the village chief and his group knocked on the door, Liu Caihong had just finished washing up.
"He Mei, open the door, we're looking for Comrade Liu Caihong."
He Mei was very surprised when she heard this.
After calming Liu Caihong down and confirming that she was emotionally stable and wouldn't betray their family, they went out and opened the door.
After this ordeal, Liu Caihong's personality has changed drastically.
She no longer trusts anyone.
She will make them pay back what they owe her eventually, but not now.
Liu Caihong followed the village chief and others to the neighboring village. When she saw Liu Jianjun, who had been deformed, tears welled up in her eyes.
Liu Jianjun was badly injured from the fall, except for half of his face, which remained intact.
His eyes were wide open, giving the impression that he died with his eyes still open.
Liu Caihong roared, determined to find the murderer who killed her brother.
But the people around her told her that the mountain path was steep and few people went there.
The police had already investigated the area and found no traces of anyone else having been there, only footprints of wild animals.
Therefore, the police determined that he committed suicide.
But Liu Caihong didn't believe it.
He Mei was so frightened by Liu Jianjun's miserable state that she collapsed to the ground.
The village chief and the others were also frightened.
That's terrible.
After calming Liu Caihong and He Mei down, he arranged for people to help them carry the person back.
That evening, the village chief found the roster of the educated youth settlement, which contained the basic information and family circumstances of the educated youth.
He stared at Liu Jianjun's information for a long, long time, then sighed and crossed him out.
When He Qiang and the others returned home, they were terrified to find Liu Caihong gone, fearing she might have reported them to the police.
When the village chief and the others carried someone to their house and saw Liu Caihong and He Mei, they breathed a heavy sigh of relief. However, seeing the expressions on everyone's faces and the expressions on the two of them, they felt that something was very wrong.
The group carried the person to the doorway and were about to enter the courtyard when He Mei stopped them: "Just leave them outside. Our family can handle the rest ourselves."
Although He Mei was very scared, she was clear-headed at that moment.
She couldn't let them carry Liu Jianjun inside; what would become of them?
Liu Caihong was still immersed in grief and hadn't come to her senses. She didn't even notice what He Mei said to the village chief and the others.
Even after the village chief and the others left, she remained steadfastly by Liu Jianjun's side.
After everyone had left, He Qiang and his mother came out: "Little sister (daughter), this is..."
Liu Jianjun, who was on the ground, was covered with a cloth.
In addition, it was already dark, so they couldn't tell what it was.
"Liu Jianjun".
Upon hearing this, He Qiang went over and lifted a corner of the window. By the moonlight, he saw Liu Jianjun's miserable state and was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly.
"Why bring such an unlucky thing here? Quick, take it away!"
He Qiang's words brought Liu Caihong back to her senses.
Her gaze towards him was filled with venom, her eyes flashing with an uncontrollable rage, like a venomous snake awakened, its tongue flicking.
It was as if she would fight him to the death if he dared to touch her older brother.
He Qiang suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and didn't dare to stay outside any longer. He ran back to his room and closed the door.
Looking at the situation outside and seeing her son's reaction, He's mother turned around, went inside, and pulled He's father out.
As the head of the family, Mr. He also felt unlucky to encounter such a situation, but what could he do?
This person is still his son-in-law on the surface.
Who told him to insist on his daughter's divorce before she refused to get divorced?
Now only they can help him collect his body.
In the end, it was He's father who spoke up, saying that he would arrange for someone to help her bury Liu Jianjun the next day, and only then did Liu Caihong's emotions calm down.
...
At the Gu family's house, after dinner, Jiang Jinxiu gave all the books she had bought back to Jiang Jinhua, and told him to study and memorize them carefully, as she would check on him from time to time.
When Jiang Jinhua left, she looked like a deflated balloon, very unwilling.
Jiang Jinxiu and Gu Xichen had just finished washing up and were about to rest when they suddenly heard several eagle cries.
Gu Xichen stopped what he was doing and listened carefully. After a while, he put his clothes back on and left a kiss on Jiang Jinxiu's forehead: "Wife, you go to sleep first. I have to go out for a while. You don't need to wait for me."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Jiang Jinxiu looked at the man's back and, recalling the eagle's cry from earlier, seemed to understand something.
When Orange returned, it was already midnight. Knowing that it had dealt with the three tall men, it was immediately taken into the space.
There are fish in the space that it loves to eat, and it can eat as much as it wants without Jiang Jinxiu restricting it.
As for the rats and the fat man, she didn't think they were anything to fear.
Jiang Jinxiu lay alone in bed, waiting for Gu Xichen, but Gu Xichen did not return for a long time.
She tossed and turned until three or four in the morning before finally drifting off to sleep.
When she woke up the next morning, she touched the mat next to her; it was ice-cold. The man hadn't come back all night.
Sun Xiaomeng took the day off and didn't go to work. As soon as Jiang Jinxiu opened the door, she saw Sun Xiaomeng playing with Xiao Fangfang in the yard.
"Third Aunt, Third Aunt, here's some candy."
Xiao Fangfang was the first to see Jiang Jinxiu come out, and she held up the candy in her hand to give it to Jiang Jinxiu.
Looking at his adorable appearance, Jiang Jinxiu couldn't help but reach out and pinch his nose: "Little Fangfang, eating candy so early, are your teeth still there? Were they all bitten off by bugs? Let Auntie see."
