Zhao Hu wanted to hit her again, but knowing Zhou Yue's worries, he paused for a few seconds and then let go.
Xie Yuan's body lost its support and fell back to the ground.
The village chief hadn't stepped forward, wanting to let Zhao Hu vent his anger. Now that everything had settled, he simply had Xie Yuan taken away.
"An'an, Zhou Zhiqing, you two need to go together on this matter."
We can't just listen to one side of the story; we still need to record the statements that should be taken.
"OK."
They arrived in high spirits, and now they're leaving in a flurry, but this time, the joy on everyone's faces is gone.
After taking the person to the police station, Gu An'an and Zhou Yue gave their statements before getting on the tractor and heading back.
"You don't need to cook, just come over for dinner tonight."
Gu An'an had no objection. After what happened in the afternoon, Zhou Yue didn't dare to stay at home alone anymore, so she nodded.
Zhao Hu is now inseparable from his girlfriend and has decided to shamelessly visit her.
Back in the courtyard, after settling Zhou Yue in, Zhao Hu took a pheasant he had just collected from the mountain to the village chief's house.
"Uncle, what will his sentence be?"
The village chief tapped his pipe. "Before I came back, I asked around. What's this called? Attempted murder. He'll have to spend a few years in jail. We'll have to wait for the results."
Upon hearing that he could be released in just a few years, Zhao Hu was extremely unwilling. After leaving the village chief's house, he rode his bicycle to the commune.
Two phone calls were all it took for the Zhao and Zhou families to learn about the matter.
"Honey, I need to go see Yue'er."
Mr. Zhou nodded. He was also worried, but he was too busy with work and it was a crucial time, so he couldn't take too long a leave of absence. He could only let his wife go. "Okay, I'll go buy you the ticket in a bit."
However, this matter was definitely not just that. Zhou's father contacted several people and eventually got in touch with someone at the Shuangshan City Public Security Bureau to learn about the situation. He also told them about the things he had investigated before.
And so, while Xie Yuan was still in detention, he had several more charges against him.
Of course, the number of years one can work for the government has been extended.
Although the Zhao family was not as well-off as the Zhou family, they were still a dual-income family with only one son and one daughter, so their financial pressure was not great.
Of course, this is only one aspect. Although Zhao's father has an ordinary job, Zhao's uncle is very successful.
After getting off work, Zhao's father took some wine to chat with his older brother, and Zhao's uncle made a phone call to inquire about the progress of the matter.
Although he didn't say anything, he just asked about the situation from the perspective of a family member. But how can you put it? There are limits to what is reasonable and compliant.
The village chief's wife had prepared a sumptuous meal. Gu An'an and her two companions arrived early to help out, while also letting Zhou Yue leave the courtyard to relax and unwind.
"Come on, let's sit down and eat."
Just as I was greeting people, a shout came from outside the door.
"In-laws, in-laws."
"mom."
When she went outside, she saw her daughter and son-in-law with their parents.
The village chief's wife patted her head and said she had forgotten something. It turned out she had forgotten to invite her in-laws to dinner.
On their second day in Hongqi Commune, Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao visited Xiaowang Village and chatted with the village chief's wife about Gu An'an. They were very satisfied with the conversation and agreed to visit Gu An'an again when she returned, so as to meet their future granddaughter-in-law.
Upon hearing from their son that Gu Zhiqing had returned, the two elders couldn't wait a moment longer and rushed over with their belongings.
"Oh dear, Uncle and Aunt, look how busy I am!"
Grandma Xiao waved her hand, "It's alright, it's alright, I came by myself, didn't I? I hope I didn't bother you?"
"No, no, no."
Then she whispered in Grandma Xiao's ear, "I just called An'an over for dinner, she's inside."
Upon hearing this, the two elders' eyes lit up. They straightened their clothes and, seeing that everything was in order, went into the house with smiles on their faces.
Gu An'an also cooked today, and the last dish she had was chopped chili fish head. After staying in Guangzhou for so long, she wanted to make some strong-flavored dishes to change things up.
As soon as she stepped out of the kitchen, she saw two sprightly elderly people smiling at her.
How should I put it? Their smiles were a little too bright; it felt like these two people were there for me.
This feeling was confirmed when the village chief's wife introduced the two men's identities.
Xiao Yuheng's grandparents?
Isn't it in Beijing?
However, Gu An'an didn't narcissistically think that the people came just for her. After all, her son and daughter-in-law were here, so it was perfectly reasonable for the two elders to come and have some fun.
With that in mind, Gu An'an greeted the two elders more naturally.
"Oh my, you must be An'an? I've heard Aheng's mother talk about you before. You're just as beautiful as the rumors say. Look at your face, it's so tender, you could squeeze water out of it. You're really gorgeous."
It's fair to say that Grandma Xiao was captivated by Gu An'an the moment she appeared.
Grandma Xiao has no other hobbies except that she likes beautiful people and things; she's commonly known as a "face-obsessed person."
Fortunately, Xiao Yuheng is quite good-looking, otherwise she might have said something like her grandson is not good enough for someone else's daughter.
Gu An'an didn't expect the old lady to be so enthusiastic, but luckily she was thick-skinned and could handle it. They chatted quite congenially.
Grandpa Xiao was more interested in Gu An'an's performance at the trade fair, and he was even amused by some of the key points.
Zhou Yue was initially a little uneasy, but as the conversation went on, she was drawn in, and by the end of the meal, she felt much better.
After a pleasant meal, Grandma Xiao called Gu An'an aside and took out a jade bracelet from her bosom.
"Child, take this."
Gu An'an was not an ignorant person. The quality of this jade could be considered to be of the imperial green grade, and its value in later generations would be self-evident.
Although these yellow and white items may seem "worthless" now, if they are properly stored away, they can be family heirlooms.
"Grandma Xiao, I can't accept it."
Grandma Xiao glared at him, but instead of being stern, she exuded a hint of coquettishness.
"No, no, you must. Although I only found out you wanted to come see me because of that kid Ah Heng, what I'm giving you has nothing to do with him. It's all because we clicked. I felt like you the moment I saw you."
Gu An'an didn't completely believe this. She could feel Grandma Xiao's affection for her, but it was definitely a lie to say that it had nothing to do with Xiao Yuheng.
Besides, you can't just pull out this thing from anyone you find agreeable. If you get reported, it won't just be one or two people involved.
"Grandma Xiao, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Grandma Xiao tossed the jade bracelet into her pocket and scurried away, saying, "Since you've already brought it, there's no way you can take it back. If you don't like it, just leave it there to play with."
