In view of some inconsistencies with Li Wende's confession, Director Luo and his colleagues re-questioned Song Fuyu and Tong Youyou on the key points of the matter.

However, what they said was still the same as the first time.

The two stayed in the police station for nearly three hours before they were allowed to leave.

"Oh, so nervous~"

After coming out, Tong Youyou patted his chest lightly and let out a long sigh.

"Why are you so nervous? You didn't commit the crime. If you are nervous, it's Li Wende's business."

"That's true."

"I don't know how long his sentence will be in the end. I hope it's as long as possible so we can finally have a good night's sleep tonight."

Tong Youyou thought that they had not slept well in the past few nights, so she hated Li Wende so much that she really wanted to punch him a few more times.

After Yan Ziyuan's arrangements and evidence preparation, the death penalty would not be imposed, but he would have to be sentenced to at least ten to eight years. After all, hooliganism was taken very seriously in that era.

What's more, he had premeditated the crime and was caught when he broke into the house.

She had only been here for such a short time, and two people were already in jail.

All I can say is that they all deserved it.

Song Fuyu and her friends were sitting on the tractor, enduring the rampant dust, and feeling the vehicle slowly driving towards the village.

Little did they know that people in Shanhe Village had already been discussing the matter and there were many different opinions.

Dozens of young men went to the scene last night and heard what Song Fuyu said. It was impossible to hide it. Everyone had been discussing the matter since the morning when they started working.

"I never thought that Li Zhiqing, who usually looks honest, could do such a thing."

"Who says it's not true? You can never know a person's heart by looking at his face~"

"I used to want to marry my daughter to an educated youth, but now it seems that I'd better give up this idea."

"Are Song Zhiqing and the others okay?"

"It's okay. Luckily, Jin Zhiqing lives next door. His brother is also there. He was the one who caught Li Zhiqing."

"That's not bad. If something bad happened, the two girls would probably be forced to death~"

Fortunately, when Song Fuyu and her friends returned home, they had not yet finished work.

She could all imagine that after work, she would most likely be surrounded by villagers.

In their view, this kind of thing is just a topic of conversation after dinner. In this countryside where there is no entertainment, people can probably talk about it for a month or so.

..........

When Song Fuyu and the others went to the town, Yan Ziyuan and Jin Kai did not follow them.

Jin Kai, who had not had a good rest last night, originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that he did not have to go to work in the afternoon to have a good sleep. However, before he could even get on the kang, he was dragged up the mountain by Yan Ziyuan.

"Brother, this should be enough, right?"

Jin Kai looked at the rough wood at his feet. If he didn't know, he would think that Yan Ziyuan was planning to use these trees to build a small house in the village.

"I'm so tired. I'm not going to do it anymore. If I keep chopping, my hands will break."

He rubbed his sore wrists. They had been chopping for almost two or three hours.

Yan Ziyuan looked at their results, made an estimate, and felt that it should be about the same.

"Okay, that's all. No need to cut any more."

"What on earth are you going to do? I don't need so much firewood, and I've already bought enough from the villagers for the whole winter."

"You're overthinking it. I'm going to sharpen these pieces of wood to protect Song Fuyu."

"......"

Jin Kai couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.

"You are a guy who has no humanity for the opposite sex!"

"You can just chop the girl you like to please yourself, why do you have to drag me into it?"

"I'm not from the village. If I come here to chop the trees myself, people will gossip about me."

"Besides, you've already drunk her chicken soup, so what's wrong with helping her with some work?"

Jin Kai really wanted to beat him to death at this moment, but he couldn't do it at all and could only think about it in his mind.

The two men carried the wood down the mountain, then borrowed a cart from Uncle Lin and put it at the foot of the mountain. It took them three trips to transport the fruits of their afternoon's labor.

"I won't help you with the rest of the work! Go carve the wood yourself!"

As soon as he entered the room, Jin Kai slumped down in the chair, not wanting to move at all.

"Okay, I'll do it myself."

"I heard that you still wet the bed when you were eight years old. Is that true?"

"Ah! You pervert!"

Jin Kai jumped up from his chair angrily.

"Who told you that? Who? I'm going to kill him!"

"Are you sure you want to do this to your own mother?"

"I..."

"Brother Yan, can't I help you peel it? Don't tell me nonsense."

He showed his fist towards Yan Ziyuan.

"Okay, don't talk about it, just get to work."

Kai, the lumberjack from Jin, had already cursed Yan Ziyuan countless times in his heart. He picked up the machete reluctantly and resigned himself to starting to sharpen the wood for Song Fuyu.

These two people are his nemesis!

Things turned out just as Song Fuyu had expected. A few minutes after she got off work, her aunt appeared at the gate of her yard.

"Xiao Song, are you okay?"

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."

"That's good. That's good."

"Speaking of last night..."

"Hey, Xiao Song, are you okay?"

Before the previous aunt finished speaking, several more appeared behind her and greeted her.

"I'm fine. I'm fine."

Li Wende is a man. In this era when relations between men and women are particularly sensitive, only by being frank can he shut up the gossipers.

Any timid expression on your face may make people think too much.

After seeing off more than a dozen villagers who came to "care" about her, Song Fuyu went straight into the house and closed the courtyard door and the door of the room.

Everyone is too enthusiastic, which is also a kind of trouble.

"Sister Fu Yu, please come out for a moment."

At around eight o'clock in the evening, when it was already completely dark, she thought no one would come, but unexpectedly someone called her.

He put on his coat, opened the door and walked out.

"Ayuan? Why are you here so late at night?"

"My mother asked me to send you a chicken. It has been prepared. Please accept it."

Gu Yuan handed the bag of chickens to her.

"I can't have this. Take it back and eat it. Thank your mother for me."

The Gu family was not well-off, and when they had meals at home, if not for the few rabbits she had shot, they basically ate vegetables grown at home and wild vegetables dug from the mountains.

Although they raised two chickens, they had to keep them for laying eggs and then trade them for other things. They couldn't bear to eat them themselves, let alone kill the chickens.

Seeing that she had no intention of taking the chicken, Gu Yuan placed it directly on the courtyard wall.

"It's too late. I need to go home."

After saying that, he turned around and ran away quickly.
