Xiaohua interrupted Shu Jiaying's endless chatter. Her words "Grandma Xu is dead" were like a magical acupoint-pressing skill that froze Shu Jiaying in place.
Shu Jiaying didn't react for a moment, and before she could even retract the smile on her face, she asked awkwardly, "Xiaohua, what are you talking about? What do you mean by Grandma Xu is dead? Which Grandma Xu is it?"
"It was the village head uncle's mother. She died this morning. Not long after you left, the village head uncle came to look for you. He originally wanted to tell you about it in person, but you were not at home, so he went back."
"No, Xiaohua, yesterday Grandma Xu wasn't..."
Shu Jiaying paused, because she originally wanted to say that Grandma Xu was fine yesterday, but she remembered that Grandma Xu suddenly fell into a coma and became a vegetable when she was entangled with Feng Qiaoer yesterday. Could it be that Grandma Xu's body had changed last night?
Shu Jiaying shook her head again. She felt that it shouldn't be that fast. She remembered that when she took Grandma Xu's pulse, although Grandma Xu's pulse was very unstable, she could feel Grandma Xu's strong desire to survive, so how could Grandma Xu die so quickly?
When Shu Jiaying's puzzled gaze met Xiaohua's, she saw the exploration in Xiaohua's eyes.
Shu Jiaying asked, "Xiaohua, do you have any other questions for me?"
“…”
Xiaohua opened her mouth, but she never asked a question.
Shu Jiaying quickly encouraged her, "It's okay. If you have any questions, just ask me."
"Sister Jiaying, the village head said... he said..."
Seeing Xiaohua hesitate for a long time, Shu Jiaying asked again: "What did Uncle Xu say? Xiaohua, it's okay. You don't have to worry about me. Just tell the truth about what Uncle Xu said to you."
"Well, I told you, the village head uncle told me that you killed his mother, and he asked you to go to his house after you come back from the mountain. He wants to ask you about this matter."
"Heh... Uncle Xu thinks I killed grandma? How is that possible!"
Xiaohua also thought it was impossible, but she didn't want people who cared about her to misunderstand her, so she said, "Sister Jiaying, I believe you. How about I accompany you to the village head's house and explain things clearly? I think the village head is a reasonable person, and he would never wrongly accuse a good person."
Shu Jiaying was grateful that Xiaohua stood by her side, but she didn't want Xiaohua to get involved in this mess with her. She made arrangements, "Go home first and I'll cook for you. After dinner, you can rest well at home. I can go to Uncle Xu's house by myself."
"Sister Jiaying, I'm not hungry. I don't want to eat yet."
"If you're not hungry, just wait for me to come back and cook for you. Wait for me at home first, be obedient!"
Without saying anything, Shu Jiaying drove Xiaohua back into the house, and then she went to Xu Lichang's house alone.
At this time, the door of Village Chief Xu's house was closed, and Shu Jiaying knocked on the door.
Bang, bang, bang...
"Uncle Xu, are you home?"
"Who is it? Come on, stop filming."
Feng Qiao'er walked out of the main room and straightened her messy hair. When she opened the door and saw Shu Jiaying, her face immediately turned stern and she asked, "It's you? I can't believe you have the nerve to come to our house at this time. Do you know how much you've ruined our once warm family?"
