Inside the house, Aunt Chi lay limply on the kang (a heated brick bed), shivering, her upper and lower teeth chattering together, making an unpleasant "clattering" sound.
"mother!"
Chi Tang shouted anxiously.
Sister-in-law Chi and Chi Dashan rushed in.
Without saying a word, Chi Tang took out a quick-acting heart medicine and gave it to his mother.
After drinking another half bowl of water, Aunt Chi stopped shivering, but her heart was still pounding.
"What exactly happened? How could Sanhe possibly kill someone?" Aunt Chi gripped Chi Dashan's wrist tightly, her eyes bulging as she asked with all her might.
It wasn't that she liked her son; it was that Chi Sanhe was indeed not a tyrannical person.
And he was looking for clues about An An, so how could he have killed someone?
Could this be...?
Oh, An'an!
"Could it be An'an..."
In that instant, it seemed as if Aunt Chi's breathing had stopped.
She simply couldn't imagine what could possibly lead Sanhe to kill someone!
Unless An'an has already—
"No, it can't be! It can't be! An'an is lucky, she'll be alright." Aunt Chi was becoming somewhat delirious.
Seeing this, Chi Dashan quickly patted his mother's face and stared into her eyes, saying, "Mother, there's no news of An'an. That person isn't telling us anything about An'an; they're deliberately lying to Sanhe!"
“Mother, not hearing from An’an at this time is actually good news,” Sister-in-law Chi quickly added.
My mother-in-law's appearance just now was really quite frightening.
Hearing her daughter-in-law's words, Aunt Chi's spirits gradually calmed down, and she hurriedly asked what had happened.
“We bribed them with a lot of money before we finally got to see Sanhe. But Sanhe only told us that he hadn’t seen An’an and that the other party was lying to him. As for why someone died, he wouldn’t say anything else! Dad is still in town.”
Chi Dashan was very anxious.
I don't know what got into that kid, he just wouldn't say!
If it were a minor matter, he could keep it a secret for his mother's sake.
But he really couldn't keep such a big thing a secret.
Moreover, the person who was beaten to death seemed to be related to the owner of the brick factory; they have now been dismissed.
That's a minor matter.
But Sanhe...
He was determined to confess to murder, but wouldn't that mean he'd be beheaded?
"He won't talk? Why won't he talk? Doesn't he know that if he doesn't talk, he might die?"
Aunt Chi could no longer sit still.
They insisted on wearing shoes and going to town to see Chi Sanhe in person and find out what was going on!
"Mother, your body isn't yet..."
"Alright, this is a matter of life and death, how can we worry about my health? If Sanhe gets beheaded, do you think I'll be alright?"
Aunt Chi left in a frenzy, as if she had gone mad.
Chi Dashan asked Aunt Chi to stay home and take care of the house full of babies, and then he hurried off to join her.
"Oh dear, what a mess this is."
Sister-in-law Chi plopped down on the kang (a heated brick bed), her head covered in sweat, extremely anxious.
How did they end up in a murder case?
"Mother, did Third Uncle really kill someone?" Chi Shuxing asked from the side.
"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense. Your third uncle couldn't have killed anyone. Go out and watch over your younger brothers. Don't bother me now."
Sister-in-law Chi was truly at her wits' end.
Uncle Wei and a few others from next door heard about it and went to town to inquire about it.
I don't know what exactly happened.
Chi Tang sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), looking extremely anxious!
At this point, neither her sister-in-law nor her fifth brother would agree to take her to town.
And even if she went, what could she possibly do?
"oops!"
Enraged, Chi Tang tore off her socks, crumpled them into a ball, and threw them away.
So annoying.
——
No matter how much money Aunt Chi and her group tried to bribe the officials, they refused to accept it and absolutely refused to let them see Chi Sanhe.
Even if Aunt Chi and the others knelt down, it wouldn't make a difference.
The family was extremely anxious. They inquired around the town, but no one had seen Chi Sanhe, and no one knew what had happened.
Anxious and terrified, and with nowhere else to turn for help, Aunt Chi couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.
Chi Dashan immediately picked up his mother and ran towards the pharmacy, only to be turned away at the door.
"My family's pharmacy refuses to treat the families of murderers!"
With just one sentence, they were kicked out.
The angry old man Chi wanted to go forward, but was stopped by Chi Dashan.
"Father, don't waste your energy. They will never open the door for us. Just like the county government will never let us in to see Sanhe."
Chi Dashan's tone was unusually calm.
He switched to carrying his elderly mother on his back, walking slowly: "Let's go home first."
Everyone understood what was going on.
On the way back, Aunt Chi slowly came over and asked Chi Dashan to help her walk.
My heart feels heavy.
When they arrived at their doorstep, they found the village chief and a group of villagers gathered in front of their house.
Chi Dashan's heart skipped a beat.
So, the village has also found out about Sanhe's murder and imprisonment?
"Father, Mother! You're finally back."
Chi Wuhu, with his sharp eyes, spotted Aunt Chi and the others first. He immediately ran over, hugged Aunt Chi tightly, and cried out, "Father, Mother, people from the county government just came and said that we don't have household registration and they're going to kick us out!"
"Household registration? My family has household registration."
