Unsurprisingly, the investigation of this case has caused quite a stir in the surrounding area!
No one expected that someone would kill their daughter and then spread rumors that she had run away with someone else.
This incident was so egregious and unprecedented that it spread very quickly.
Relatives related to the Liu and Hu families were also affected, but the Xu family was the most affected.
Everyone said the Xu family was blind to marry a murderer.
Xu Feng's face has been gloomy these past few days, and he doesn't even dare to go out, because every time he goes out he sees other people's spectator looks.
Xu's mother was the same; she was talked about every day when she went out these days. When she came home from get off work, she complained, "Who would have thought that the Liu family were like that? We were clearly deceived, so why is everyone coming to watch the show!"
"Alright, stop talking. We were also at fault. We believed the Liu family's words without clarifying the situation. Fortunately, the marriage didn't happen," Xu's father said, frowning.
After saying that, she looked at her silent son, thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Feng, don't think too much about it. Let them talk. Once things have calmed down, your mother will find you a good wife."
Xu Feng remained silent. He had been thinking a lot these past few days. He wasn't actually very familiar with his former fiancée, Liu Ying. He rarely saw her when he visited her family during holidays. In his memory, she was rather quiet and didn't like to talk. She would always hide in her room whenever he visited.
He had less contact with Liu Zhen than with him.
Although he wasn't entirely satisfied, Liu Ying's mother had helped his family in the past, and Liu Ying was quite good-looking, so he accepted it.
Unexpectedly, he later received a letter from Liu Ying eloping. He was furious but also relieved to learn that his fiancée had been replaced by Liu Zhen.
After all, he preferred the lively and cheerful Liu Zhen to the silent and timid Liu Ying.
Unexpectedly, Liu Zhen, whom he thought was better, turned out to be a murderer, while Liu Ying, whom he looked down on, turned out to be a pitiful girl who was bullied by her whole family.
He felt ridiculous. He didn't blame others for laughing at him; he himself felt ridiculous for misjudging people and almost marrying the murderer of his fiancée. So now all of this was his own fault.
...
Liu Ying's incident initially caused a sensation only in the area around the police station, but it soon spread to the tenement compound.
That evening, after dinner, Su He and Lin Jingyan were just about to sit in the courtyard when everyone pressed them about the matter.
Seeing everyone's curiosity, Su He didn't hide anything and told them what she knew.
Everyone was furious when they heard this, and they were even more delighted when they learned that even their child had been sentenced to prison.
After that, everyone started talking about what had happened in the alley recently.
It's nothing really, just some daughter-in-law and mother-in-law getting into a fight, or some husband being caught having an affair with a widow by his wife...
There are also some things going on in their tenement.
The first one is Niu Lili, who seems to be doing quite well in the Red Guards recently. She has even become a key member and led the raids on several companies.
It made everyone both hate and fear it.
Grandpa Niu and his wife looked very unhappy after hearing this, clearly they couldn't do anything about it.
Then came the matter of Huang's youngest son going to the countryside.
The neighborhood committee has come to urge them several times recently. It seems that if they can't find a job soon, they will be forced to go to the countryside. At that time, their courtyard will inevitably be punished.
As an elderly man, Grandpa Niu took the initiative to offer some advice.
"I've heard that these days, people are being sent to the countryside all over the country, even to remote areas in the Northwest. Weilin should decide sooner rather than later if he wants to go to the countryside. That way, he can choose a better place. If he's assigned to a poor and remote place later, wouldn't it be even more difficult?"
