“Wang Guilan is the real murderer. She thinks it’s no big deal that her son beats his daughter-in-law. Even if she is beaten to death, it’s because she is unlucky and cannot withstand the beating. It’s no big deal that she is dead. Zhao Youcai’s decision to take his daughter-in-law away was a huge mistake.”
"She also said that Zhao Youcai made money without giving her family any compensation. When she went to their house to demand an explanation, she caused all the people in Sunjia Village who stood up for her to lose face, and she was even imprisoned because of it. That's why she had the idea of revenge."
This was the first time Zhao Youcai had ever seen such a highly efficient team handling a case; it was quite an eye-opener for him.
Looking at the still smiling Battalion Commander Cao, Zhao Youcai understood.
It's likely that the military region received the news, had someone investigate, and confirmed that Zhao Youcai was innocent, which is why they put pressure on him.
Under pressure from the military region, the efficiency of various departments will increase significantly, so the case will be investigated and resolved very quickly.
Furthermore, after Wang Guilan committed the murder, she didn't even bother to clean up the scene, and instead came forward as a witness, accusing Zhao Youcai of being the murderer.
To be honest, their methods are quite sophisticated; if Zhao Youcai isn't careful, he'll be in trouble.
Unfortunately, there were too many problems with the execution process, and the murderer was too stupid.
Everyone in Zhaojiagou was worried about Zhao Youcai's safety, since it was almost time for the first delivery of vegetable leaves to the farm.
The Zhao brothers sat at home frantically pulling their hair, recalling everything that had happened the day before.
After the factory managers sobered up, they sat obediently in Zhao Youcai's courtyard, holding bowls of rice porridge. They were all thinking that if Zhao Youcai didn't come back later, they would go to the police station to ask about the situation.
Just as everyone was anxiously trying to figure out how to get the innocent Zhao Youcai out, the familiar hum of a car engine came from outside the gate again.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief only after Zhao Youcai got out of the car and entered the courtyard.
"Dad, are you okay?"
The third brother, Zhao Jianhua, rushed over at lightning speed, eager to drag his father around a few times to show him off. Fortunately, he wasn't stupid enough to do something that would get him a beating.
Zhao Youcai watched his third son circling around him, and he was both amused and exasperated.
I know she's frightened and worried about herself. But she's been spinning around in circles and doesn't seem to know when to stop, making herself dizzy.
Zhao Youcai suddenly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he raised his right hand and gave Zhao Jianhua a sharp rap on the head.
"Stop spinning! Do you want to make your old man faint?"
Zhao Jianhua felt wronged, but he didn't dare to say anything. Instead, he pitifully went to his new wife for comfort.
Zhao Youcai resisted the urge to roll his eyes and smiled as he thanked Director Cao for bringing him back.
"Don't mention it. I'm just here to see if your village has electricity yet."
If the county officials are too inefficient and delay Zhao Youcai's instant noodle production, he will definitely go to the county office in person.
Fortunately, the people in the county were very perceptive; they reported it yesterday and came to install the transformer today.
According to their schedule, the power should be connected by tomorrow morning at the latest.
My trip to the police station today was quite coincidental.
The entire Zhao family was restless. Since he had run into them, he definitely had to go.
After all, people's hearts are complex, and it's not impossible that someone would have their eyes on Zhao Youcai, an old man with no background.
I believe his appearance this time will definitely make those who are greedy and reckless in reaching out behind the scenes think twice.
And that was indeed the case. Those who pressured Zhao Youcai were so scared that they couldn't sleep at night and dreamed of being taken away for investigation.
Days passed by, and on this day, the whole of Zhaojiagou was filled with joy.
The cucumbers and eggplants in each household were ready for harvest. Every family had accumulated a lot of eggplant leaves and cucumber vines. Some diligent people even went up the mountain to cut some pig feed, tied them into bundles with smiles, and sent them to Zhao Youcai's house to be weighed.
From early morning, the gate to Zhao Youcai's courtyard was open and people were constantly coming and going, all working busily.
Zhao Youcai got up from the kang (a heated brick bed), locked his room door, and went back to the kang for a nap.
We can't leave the door unlocked; the lion's share of the profits is with us.
What if some shady character comes into the house and touches you? There are so many people around, it's best to be careful.
Everyone who came to Zhao Youcai's courtyard watched with smiles as the fourth son's wife took out a small notebook to make notes, then found a place where she wouldn't block the way and stood quietly waiting for Zhao Youcai to appear.
When the fourth brother's wife finished writing, the third brother, Zhao Jianhua, quickly walked to Zhao Youcai's room and gently knocked on the door.
"Father, everything outside has been taken care of."
Zhao Youcai responded with "I know" upon hearing the voice, then sat up and calmed himself for a while. When he put on his shoes, got out of bed, opened the door, and left, he was still startled.
Zhao Youcai knew in his heart that there must be some people in the village who were standing in their own courtyards and not in a hurry to leave.
But he never expected that there would be one or two people standing in the courtyard of each household.
It must have been really tough on them, that so many people could keep quiet and not disturb their peaceful sleep.
Zhao Youcai quickly went to the well in the backyard to wash up before leaving home with his second and third sons, heading towards the breeding farm.
There were five oxcarts in the village, all driven by the village's experienced workers, following behind Zhao Youcai toward the breeding farm.
The captain was very pleased with himself and started humming a little tune again, occasionally letting out a few shouts.
Zhao Youcai was actually quite puzzled. He didn't understand why the brigade leader always sang the same lyrics, but the melody was always fresh. Didn't he realize he was singing off-key?
The captain, seeing the look in Zhao Youcai's eyes, became even more excited. Thinking Zhao Youcai liked it, he hinted that he should sing louder.
Zhao Youcai's mind was buzzing, and so were the others in the village.
Unfortunately, no one dared to tell the captain to shut up, and they could only endure the ear-piercing noise.
Fortunately, the farm is not too far from Zhaojiagou; it only takes a little over an hour to get there.
Upon learning that Zhao Youcai had brought people to deliver feed to the piglets today, and given their close relationship recently, the farm manager proactively waited for Zhao Youcai at the gate, which startled the farm workers.
"You've finally arrived! If you hadn't come, I was planning to send the factory workers to your village."
Zhao Youcai smiled and shook hands with Director Zhu, then walked towards Director Zhu's office, chatting and laughing.
The rest of the people went with the farm employees to re-weigh the animals and then went to the accounting office to settle their accounts.
"Are you okay?"
Zhao Youcai naturally understood Director Zhu's concern and shook his head with a smile.
"The police officers are all good comrades; they won't make things difficult for me, the victim."
Factory Director Zhu smiled, but did not respond to Zhao Youcai's words. Instead, he casually chatted with Zhao Youcai as if it were nothing.
