Chapter 70 New Year

After Pu Xiang's accident, Mo Yang was already nervous.

In addition, Liu Xiaoyu lived in the same community as them and they had a good relationship. They knew about the incident immediately after it happened.

Mo Yang became even more nervous.

Basically, he has to pick up Pu Xiang from get off work every day. He is also very careful when he goes out and never goes out alone.

He notified all the bosses he knew, and asked them to travel together if possible. Those who couldn't travel together should try to avoid crowded places and go out less at night.

There were two consecutive robbery cases in the county town, and all the police were mobilized to conduct various investigations and patrols.

Fortunately, one of the three people who came to rob Pu Xiang was caught, and the one who was caught was the leader.

During this trial, he directly confessed the situation of his other two accomplices.

Those two men ignored him and ran away alone. He was full of resentment and had no loyalty to them.

After a few days, Pu Xiang and Mo Yang finally figured out the whole case.

The man who was arrested turned out to be an old acquaintance.

This man is called Zheng Dashu. He has a scar on his face. He used to grow a big beard, so his nickname is Big Beard.

Mo Yang reacted first when he heard the nickname Big Beard. Pu Xiang had mentioned to him that Zhou Xiaorou came to the store to buy clothes.

"Is Zhou Xiaorou in cahoots with him?"

Zheng Dashu is Zhou Xiaorou's lover, and he is also the one who cheated on Mo Yang. Although he himself doesn't pay attention to it, some people have pointed it out to him.

In addition, Zhou Xiaorou's first husband died in a river, and it was said that he was pushed into the river and drowned. Later, there were rumors that it was the bearded Zheng Dashu who did it.

Mo Yang didn't really believe it at first. Even if Zhou Xiaorou was a woman picking up someone outside, she wouldn't have the guts to kill someone.

But now, Mo Yang really believed it beyond belief.

He used to think the best of people.

The police gave a positive response.

"After we caught Zheng Dashu, we arrested his two accomplices according to his confession. After being arrested, his accomplices confessed to the crime and also gave away Zheng Dashu's mistress Zhou Xiaorou. It was Zhou Xiaorou's idea to choose 'Xiang Meiren' to commit the crime. Moreover, she was one of the people who went to scout the location in advance. Zheng Dashu did not give her away because he planned to wait for him to go in and someone else would take care of it for him."

When Pu Xiang heard this, his three views were refreshed again.

Zhou Xiaorou thought she was bad enough, abusing her stepdaughter and stealing things. When she saw someone coming to her store, she was thinking about her stealing. She didn't expect that this person was no longer just a petty thief.

They just started snatching it away.

In addition to Zhou Xiaorou's confession, the other arrested man and woman also confessed that Zheng Dashu had committed the crime of raping a woman in order to obtain lenient treatment.

Pu Xiang and Mo Yang came back from the mission, and Pu Xiang was a little dazed.

"It turns out that the rape case in the village two years ago was committed by Zhou Xiaorou's mistress."

Before she was reborn, a rape case like this happened in the village around the same time. Although the time and the person didn't match, everything had changed, so it was not surprising that there were some slight discrepancies. So, maybe Zheng Dashu was the one who did it?

Pu Xiang thought about it and she remembered that in the original trajectory, Mo Yang died and Zhou Xiaorou stayed in the Mo family. As a woman, she always gave people the impression of being weak and frail. She could never farm and had to hook up some idle men to do work for her.

The days went on like this. Although I never saw her going to work, she was always wearing gold and silver, eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks, and having everything she wanted.

In the past, Pu Xiang thought that she was just taking money from men's pockets, but now she thinks, how many of the men she hooks up with actually have money in their pockets?

Even if you are willing to give her money, you can't spend that much.

Zheng Dashu may be her biggest source of income.

Maybe Zhou Xiaorou had once participated in robbery with Zheng Dashu and his gang?

There was no way to know the answers to these questions, but Pu Xiang had the same feeling as Mo Yang: she still thought too highly of others.

There is really no limit to the bad things that bad people do.

…

Pu Xiang rested at home for two days because of the two injuries she received from kicking her waist.

It was better when she lay down that night, but the pain was even worse when she got up the next day. When she got up from the bed, she forgot about the injury and fell back into bed halfway through.

Mo Yang was making breakfast in the kitchen. When he heard her cry, he rushed in with a shovel.

"Don't get up, don't get up. I'll bring you breakfast and you can eat it in bed. Didn't we agree not to go to the store today? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Pu Xiang could only smile bitterly: "I forgot."

In the end, Mo Yang helped her up, went to the toilet, and washed up.

Pu Xiang didn't eat breakfast in bed. She didn't have that habit. So she put on some clothes and went to the restaurant to eat.

Early in the morning, Mo Yang had already cooked porridge for her.

Also put some pigeon soup.

"Where did the pigeon come from?"

Pu Xiang didn't remember having pigeons at home, so the taste was particularly delicious.

Mo Yang said, "I bought it at the market this morning. You need to replenish your body after you were injured. I'll light the small stove you made earlier so that the soup won't get cold. It'll be perfect for you to have lunch. I'll be back early in the evening, so don't move for dinner until I come back and cook it."

He explained everything one by one.

Just like the night before, they had clearly agreed to wait for her to come back and have supper together, but this guy prepared everything and when he saw that she hadn't come back yet, he came over to pick her up from get off work.

That’s why we arrived just in time.

Pu Xiang listened and felt that he had been "replenished" before he even started eating.

Thinking back on the shock last night, I suddenly feel as if I were filtered through the lens of time.

It doesn't seem so scary as if it were right in front of you.

"Mo Yang."

Pu Xiang reached out and grabbed the man who was about to go into the kitchen to work, and pulled him to her side.

Mo Yang leaned over with the help of her strength.

Until Pu Xiang reached out and grabbed his collar, pulling him down at the waist, and she raised her head and leaned forward.

A warm morning.

After Pu Xiang rested for two days, the pain in her waist had eased a lot, and she went back to the store to continue working.

She first bought a bunch of things, then went to the proprietress of the old store next door and thanked her.

No matter how the other party tried to imitate her and steal her business, at the critical moment, someone was able to run out to save her, which could offset everything.

The guy next door still behaves as usual, rolling his eyes to the sky.

"Don't flatter me. I'm not a good person. I'm just afraid that after they rob you, they'll come and rob me, and we'll be in trouble together. It's better for us to be together so that we can call for help."

That is what they say, but if people really just want to protect themselves, they can lock the door and hide inside, and they will definitely be able to hide until the police arrive.

Pu Xiang did not try to refute her words, and followed her words and said: "Okay, sister, you are a smart person, you are thinking about yourself, but this does not prevent you from helping me, I am sincerely thankful to you."

The two have been neighbors for several years, but they have never had much of a friendship. It's even a bit like they are enemies in the same industry.

However, after this incident, even if the two of them didn't say it openly, the reality was still a little different.

In the days before the Chinese New Year, everyone lived very cautiously. It was not until the Chinese New Year finally came, when everyone closed their stalls and started their holidays that they finally felt relieved.

The most important thing is to have a happy and peaceful New Year.

Pu Xiang spent this year's New Year's Eve with Mo Yang and Mo Jingjing.

Pu Xiang is a good cook, so she is responsible for cooking the main dishes at home. Mo Yang is in charge of stir-frying some small dishes, and Mo Jingjing is still the one who selects the vegetables.

Three people don’t need to prepare too many things, and the food gets cold quickly in cold weather, so the main dish is still hot pot.

This year, Mo Yang bought a large color TV for his family. When he was having the New Year's Eve dinner, he turned on the TV. With the lively and festive sounds from the TV, the atmosphere of the New Year was instantly created at home.

The family couldn't be more relaxed.

Around eight o'clock, Shi Wenya came to visit with her son and ex-parents-in-law.

Originally, families like the Shi family would have gone back to the village to celebrate the New Year, but Shi Wenya and Shi Weiye got divorced, and they suddenly gave up the idea of ​​going back.

Who wants to go home during the Chinese New Year and be criticized?

So we decided to spend this New Year together as a family in the new house.

Shi Wenya came out after finishing her meal. When Shi Weiye had just gotten divorced, he went to the store to block her, acting as if he really wanted to live with her.

Not long after that, he turned around and took one back to have the New Year's Eve dinner.

Shi Chunmu and Yu Abao were caught off guard. Seeing their son bring back a woman dressed in a seductive way, they were so angry that they almost didn't eat the New Year's Eve dinner.

After we finished the New Year’s Eve dinner, instead of asking for New Year’s money, he asked for permission to stay overnight.

What could the old couple not understand? They just had their eyes on their house.

We haven't even entered the door yet!

Fortunately, the daughter-in-law had a clear mind. She agreed at that time that the house would belong to the eldest grandson, and neither the young couple could live in it.

Yu Abao just pretended that he didn't have ears. After finishing his meal, he cleared the table and said, "It's cold and dark at night. You should all go home early. We can also take Chengcheng to visit the neighbors. Chengcheng has made an appointment with his classmates to go out and play."

Having said that, he didn't care what people said or what their expressions were, and he just rushed the whole family out of the door.

Shi Weiye wanted to say something, but his mother glared at him and he fell silent immediately.

Before leaving the house, Yu Abao glanced at the woman twice, his face full of disgust.

What a shabby thing he is, even worse than a beggar on the street.

After Shi Wenya's family came over, Pu Xiang quickly heard the whole gossip from beginning to end.

The more Pu Xiang listened, the more his brows furrowed.

It hasn't been long since Shi Weiye got divorced, but he has already found a woman and it seems that he is still eyeing that house.

Shi Weiye is not a smart man. Even if he has no idea about the house, what about the woman he is looking for?

Do you think Shi Weiye is an honest man?

Or do you want him to get divorced and have a son?

Yu Abao and his wife seem to be in a clear mind now, but no matter what, Shi Weiye is still their biological son.

What if my own son really married someone and had another child?

How could you bear to see them having no place to live?

Judging from Shi Wenya's appearance, Pu Xiang still has a good impression of her ex-in-laws.

At least in this matter, it can be seen that the two old people are on her side, but, to put it bluntly, the grandson is also the eldest grandson in their family, and Shi Wenya was not allowed to take this benefit back to her parents' home.

Therefore, it is hard to say who he is on the side of.

After everyone left, Mo Yang asked her, "Just now I saw that you seemed to have something to say. What's wrong? Did you notice something wrong?"

Pu Xiang repeated her thoughts: "I think I should remind Wen Ya, don't let this house be occupied by someone else for nothing."

Mo Yang did not advise her not to meddle in other people's business, but only said: "If you want to talk, just say it quickly. The person has already started dating, and maybe in a few days, he or she will be pregnant and get married. If he or she talks about it again, it will have a legitimate status, unlike now where it is not legitimate and reasonable."

He has seen a lot in the past few years, delivering goods, opening factories, and coming into contact with so many people and things that he has heard of all kinds of unexpected and bizarre things.

When Pu Xiang heard this, he immediately felt that this was a good thing to say. Some things should be dealt with sooner rather than later. It would not be a good thing if everyone fell out with each other.

No matter what, Shi Wenya still has a son with Shi Weiye. She can't really ignore her son completely.

So, after the first and second days of the Lunar New Year, Pu Xiang invited Shi Wenya to her home to play. She prepared a bunch of melon seeds, snacks and tea, and they chatted slowly in the sun.

Pu Xiang was still trying to find a way in, but Shi Wenya spoke first.

"Third sister, what do you think about me finding Shi Weiye, selling this house, and splitting the money? The house price has gone up a bit, so I won't lose anything if I sell the house. I can use the money to buy another one for myself, so I have a place to live. As for Shi Weiye, whether he buys or not is none of my business. Chengcheng said it with his family, and I won't argue about it. After we divide this house, Chengcheng can live wherever he wants."

As she spoke, she noticed that Pu Xiang was staring at her with wide eyes, as if she had seen something strange on her face.

"Why, what's wrong? Doesn't what I'm doing work?"

“It works. It works so well!”

Pu Xiang picked up the teacup and clinked it with the other man. "Comrade Shi Wenya, I apologize to you. I underestimated you before. At the critical moment, you are really a person who knows how to act!"

This sincere praise made Shi Wenya blush.

"You say that as if I was confused before."

Pu Xiang quickly tried to comfort him: "How could that be? You were clear-headed before, and now you are even clearer. I am praising you for your evolution and becoming a more powerful and better person."

With the support of her good friends, Shi Wenya talked to her ex-parents-in-law about selling the house after the first month of the new year.

She originally thought that the two old people would not agree to this, but unexpectedly, when she mentioned it, the old couple opposite them hesitated for a moment and then quickly agreed.
