Old Li held his wife tightly, his lips trembling, only able to utter indistinct syllables, unable to utter a single complete word!
"Go! Save my mother! We can't just wait to die!"
Sister-in-law Chi tried to grab it, pushed and shoved, and shouted!
Li Mingfan's wife rushed over and hugged the deranged Sister-in-law Chi, tears streaming down her face: "Sister, sister! Please calm down! Mother, Mother is dead!"
"Impossible! Mother! Mother!"
Sister-in-law Chi struggled frantically, shoving away the weakened wife of Li Mingfan. She then desperately shook Old Man Li, pleading with him:
"Father, I beg you, please take Mother to see a doctor! She'll get better, really!"
"Waaah, if you annoy your mother, I can take her back home and I'll take care of her..."
As she spoke, Sister-in-law Chi collapsed to the ground, her eyes filled with despair.
She didn't know why things had turned out this way!
It was just some trivial family matter; my mother has always been in good health, so why…
etc!
My mother was always in good health, how could she have suddenly died?
Yes, Dad did kick Mom, but it was only on her shoulder, and he didn't kick her very hard. So why is she vomiting blood?
And he died so quickly?
Why does Mom look so much like she's been poisoned?
But how could Mother be poisoned at home?
etc!
"Le Huai? Did Le Huai poison my mother?" Although it was a guess, Sister-in-law Chi's tone was quite certain!
"Where...did he get the poison?"
Sister-in-law Chi squinted her eyes and gritted her teeth, saying, "Let's report it to the authorities!"
There's clearly a lot more to this than meets the eye.
She wasn't sure if there were any outsiders involved.
but……
My mother is dead. At the very least, we should find out what really happened and pay our respects to her spirit in heaven!
"Report to the authorities?"
Li Mingfan's wife hesitated.
As a result, the Li family became a laughing stock in the entire Qingshui Town.
Her sons are all of marriageable age.
But... if we don't report it to the authorities, wouldn't that let Le Huai get away with it?
After thinking it over and over, Li Mingfan's wife gritted her teeth and said, "Then let's report it to the authorities!"
After all, they've been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for many years, and she's her son's biological grandmother!
He had to die in peace.
As for his son's marriage...
My mother-in-law has died, so I should observe the mourning period for at least three years. Either way, it's a delay.
The thought of her son having to observe three years of mourning made Li Mingfan's wife want to skin Le Huai alive!
Such a ruthless little child!
Putting aside others, my mother-in-law treats Lehuai like an ancestor! How could she possibly do that?
“Sister-in-law, you go and rest. I’ll go report to the authorities, and then…” Sister-in-law Chi wiped away her tears and choked out, “and then go buy a coffin.”
The weather isn't exactly cool right now, so the body can't be left there.
She also needs to inform her in-laws.
"good."
Li Mingfan's wife didn't try to be strong; if she didn't take good care of herself during her postpartum period, it could affect her for life.
Moreover, her mother-in-law... is not worth her neglecting her own health to take care of her.
"Father, Father, I've gone to report this to the authorities."
Before leaving, Sister-in-law Chi still consulted Old Man Li for his opinion.
Old Li nodded blankly, saying nothing, just holding his wife tightly as if she were still alive.
Sister-in-law Chi felt uncomfortable seeing this and turned away.
Upon arriving in town, Sister-in-law Chi wrote two letters, one to her family and the other directly to the capital.
After all, my in-laws are in Beijing now.
Then they went to buy a coffin and other things. While buying things, they ran into an old acquaintance—Han Fu!
Han Fu came to Qingshui Town to discuss tofu business with several restaurants.
I never expected to meet Sister-in-law Chi.
Sister-in-law Chi knew that Han Fu had been a hoodlum and should have some connections and influence, so she didn't bother to cover up the family scandal and told him everything that had happened in the family.
"Sister-in-law, are you thinking of reporting this to the authorities?"
"Yes! We can't let the murderer get away with it!"
Han Fu twitched his fingers and said, "In that case, I don't really mind if you report it to the authorities. But reporting it might alert them. And if there's someone backing them, the outcome might not be what you want."
"Is someone backing you?"
Han Fu sneered: "Otherwise, where would an eight-year-old child get poison? And what about your mother's situation? Either she was drugged or she was poisoned. These are things that an eight-year-old child couldn't do."
Therefore, someone must have been providing assistance and guidance behind the scenes. Otherwise, how could an eight-year-old child have so much cunning?
Of course, not all eight-year-olds are incapable of such calculations.
However, it is clear that Sister-in-law Chi's nephew has not suffered too much hardship since childhood, and his childhood environment was not filled with scheming, so it is unlikely that he has a deep mind.
The most likely explanation is that someone is giving advice behind the scenes.
"Who would plot against my family?" Sister-in-law Chi asked, somewhat incredulous.
To put it bluntly, what does her family have that's worth scheming against?
Why go through so much trouble?
Han Fu said, "Either your family has offended someone before, someone with whom you have a deep-seated hatred, or they're targeting the Chi family."
Thinking about her restaurant and Tangtang being bitten by a snake during this time, Sister-in-law Chi's heart skipped a beat.
Han Fu: "So if you trust me, sister-in-law, I can help you pursue your nephew and investigate him thoroughly."
Hearing Han Fu's words, Sister-in-law Chi hesitated.
