Chapter 54
After Meng Hua finished sending him off, he stared at his mother eagerly. Zhen Zhen naturally knew what he was thinking, so he held the jade Buddha and asked:
"Men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha. This jade is obviously a good thing. The carving is also very lifelike. You silly boy, you must have spent a lot of money, right?"
Meng Hua was waiting for his mother to ask, his chin raised slightly, and his tone was full of disapproval:
"It's not much, just one or two hundred yuan!"
This is a good outfit. One or two hundred is not too much. It is enough for a rural family to live for several years.
No one can even afford to eat, so who would be willing to spend money on a jade Buddha?
"One or two hundred yuan?" Tao Aihong was the first to yell, taking her mother-in-law's jade Buddha and examining it carefully. "Tsk, tsk, tsk! This little thing costs one or two hundred yuan? Only you, my uncle, would be willing to spend one or two hundred yuan on a pendant. Gold is better than jade!"
Gold is worthless these days, but even rural people know that gold never goes out of style.
Tao Aihong felt that Meng Hua had been cheated. The jade was obviously worthless. No one would dare to keep the jade passed down from ancestors at home for fear of being reported. If someone was in a hurry to sell it, it could probably be bought for a few dollars.
Spending a hundred or two hundred to buy this thing is like eating too much.
Tao Aihong thinks deeply.
The Meng family has not divided up, and all property will be handed over to the mother-in-law.
In theory, Meng Hua's money should be considered a public account. If he doesn't hand over the money he earns, it will have to be divided into three parts when the family is divided. He is taking advantage of everything in the world.
Meng Hua couldn't help being filial to her mother-in-law, but she wouldn't buy a jade pendant worth one or two hundred yuan!
If this isn't what you're holding on to after you've eaten your fill, then what is this?
Meng Hua was waiting for someone to ask him. He straightened his shirt sleeves very calmly. "Sister-in-law, it's only one or two hundred yuan. It's not a lot of money. How can you measure the value of something you buy for mom with money? Forget one or two hundred yuan. Even one or two thousand yuan is nothing."
Tao Aihong didn't dare to say anything.
Meng Eryong blamed him for driving up the market.
Meng Daguo was smiling as he held his waist.
Although I can't stand my brother's ostentatious behavior, it's better for him to be filial than not, right? After all, he has been with mom for many years. As long as he treats mom better in the future, mom will still care about him.
The last time Meng Hua came back, Jiao Huilan had not given birth yet. Now that his niece was born, he naturally had to go in and take a look.
Si Ya is not as lively as her two sisters. She is soft-hearted and shy. When she saw Meng Hua for the first time, she hid in Jiao Huilan's arms. It was not until Zhen Zhen gave Meng Hua a piece of biscuit and asked Meng Hua to lick the biscuit that Si Ya became closer to him.
"Mom, Si Ya looks like my eldest sister-in-law." Meng Hua said.
"Yes, Si Ya has a round face like your sister-in-law, and she is also gentle and a little shy."
Meng Hua thought that her sister-in-law was carrying a boy. "Mom, do you really not care about the gender? Don't you want her to have a boy to carry on the family line?"
Zhen Zhen used a fire tong to pick up a piece of charcoal and put it into the pot, intending to cook some porridge for Si Ya as a side dish.
"Whose incense do you inherit?"
"Of course it's the incense of our Meng family!"
Zhen Zhen fanned the flame and smiled, "You also know that it is from the Meng family. What does your Meng family's incense have to do with me? It doesn't even have my last name."
Meng Hua looked at her mother with amusement. It was the first time she heard her mother say such words.
"Mom, you still want your child to have your last name? Then why did you let me have the last name Meng? Just call me Zhen Hua!"
Why do you call yourself Zhen Hua? Just call yourself Zhen Niubi. Zhen Zhen complained about his third son mercilessly.
"Mother means that if you take a step back, the world will be bigger. Sometimes it's meaningless to insist on having a son or a daughter. In my opinion, girls are generally more filial than boys. Your eldest brother and his wife still have more blessings to come."
"It's okay if you don't mind. When I give birth to a child, I'll give the child your surname," said Meng Hua.
These three sons are quite interesting. No matter they are trying to coax her or are serious, a man who can accept this kind of thinking is not an ordinary person.
It's only 1976. If it weren't 1996, even if it was 20 or 40 years later, there wouldn't be many men who could let their children take their mother's surname.
Jiao Huilan worked day and night to make the five pieces of clothing that Meng Li wanted. It must be said that her craftsmanship has improved a lot compared to the beginning of the year. Using the same fabric and the same style, the clothes made by Jiao Huilan look good when worn.
This is probably what people call the version.
Clothes with good cuts show your figure and stand the test of time.
Meng Li replied that her colleagues were very satisfied and asked Jiang Dongping to bring the money while he was on a business trip to the countryside.
It was the first time that Jiao Huilan earned money on her own. She was so happy that she didn't know what to do. The first thing she did after getting the money was to give it to Zhen Zhen, which made Zhen Zhen shake her head.
How can someone be so honest? He asks for even a penny more, which is exactly the opposite of what the second brother and his wife do.
"Take it and use it yourself!"
"I don't need money for anything. Mom, you are good at managing money. I will let you manage all the money I earn in the future." Jiao Huilan said sincerely.
Jiao Huilan was not saying nice things to please her mother-in-law. She had thought about this matter seriously. The Meng family used to not have enough to eat, but now they have tens of thousands of yuan in savings. How did they do this?
On the surface, it seems that she makes money by raising pigs in Daguo, farming as a family, and selling roasted melon seeds and chestnuts. But if you think about it carefully, these things are all arranged by her mother-in-law behind the scenes. If it weren't for her mother-in-law who came up with these ideas, how could the Meng family be where it is today?
Jiao Huilan had no knowledge and only knew how to save money. However, saving money does not mean saving money. It's just like a hen that lays eggs. Money has to make money. Jiao Huilan understood this principle very early on and gave the money to her mother-in-law as soon as she got it.
Zhen Zhen was too lazy to get involved in financial matters between her children. Helping someone manage their money meant worrying about it. She was planning to retire and enjoy her old age, so why would she want to spend that effort?
But Jiao Huilan insisted and refused to take the money back no matter what. She would rather confiscate the public account and let her manage the money.
Forget it, just take care of it! Daya is also of school age, so I will save some money to buy a few houses in the city, transfer Daya's household registration to the city, and plan for her future life.
This time, Jiang Dongping also brought a piece of news, saying that Meng Li had been promoted and her salary had been raised to 22 yuan a month.
Zhen Zhen thought it might have something to do with Cao's sister. The old couple's daughter worked in Meng Li's superior unit and often called to take care of her. How could the factory not pay attention to Meng Li?
After all, many appropriations in the factory need to be approved by superiors, so it is necessary to have a good relationship with Meng Li.
Mrs. Meng was very happy to hear this. The second wife had a college student, but her two sons were not presentable. However, this young lady, although it was her second marriage, was pregnant and gave birth to twins.
Now they are lucky enough to get a chance for promotion. The couple can earn more than 40 yuan a month in salary alone. If the benefits of the company are added, it will be even more impressive.
The unit allocates housing based on length of service and rank. Meng Li has been promoted at a young age, so the issue of housing allocation can be put on the agenda.
Meng Li has two sons. Although there is no saying that you must have a house to get married these days, if a man wants to marry a decent wife, he must have good conditions himself. If Meng Li can get a big house, the house at home will be enough for the children to get married, and the couple will have no big burden.
Mrs. Meng finally put her worries to rest and thanked Zhen Zhen specially, saying that if she hadn't helped her choose the house, there would have been no such thing.
These days, Song Xiaohong often goes to Meng's house to learn sewing with Jiao Huilan.
Since they were all neighbors, Jiao Huilan did not say anything. After obtaining Zhen Zhen's consent, she taught her how to operate a sewing machine. When Zhang Cuihua heard about this, she sighed at the generosity of the Meng family. Who in an ordinary family would let others use such an expensive thing as a sewing machine?
What if it breaks down? Her family really can't afford to pay for it.
The Meng family was generous, and Zhang Cuihua was not ungrateful, so she asked Song Xiaohong to help Jiao Huilan and do what she could.
After her divorce, Song Xiaohong had nothing to do and didn't have to take care of the children, so she spent her time sewing with Jiao Huilan and lived a comfortable life.
Meng Hua read books all day and wanted to take a break, so Zhen Zhen sent him to the pig farm to help Meng Daguo raise pigs.
Meng Hua knew what his mother meant. She simply felt that his eldest brother had worked hard and that he was a scholar, so she reminded him that if he became successful in the future, he should remember how good his brother and sister-in-law had been to him and must never forget his roots.
The pig farm was much larger than the first year, so Meng Hua brought a pig feed bucket to help his brother feed the pigs.
Meng Daguo didn't mind the dirt. After feeding the pigs, he drove them to the pigpen on the other side, fetched water from the river, rolled up his trousers and went in, and cleaned the pigpen thoroughly.
Meng Hua silently watched his brother's busy back. His brother was quite able to endure hardship, but this kind of hardship was different from the hardship of studying.
Meng Hua could endure the hardship of studying, but he could not endure the hardship of working in the fields. If he were asked to step his feet into pig manure, he would feel as uncomfortable as if he were crawling on ants.
Meng Hua stood there a little hesitant, so Meng Daguo pushed him aside and said, "I can do this kind of rough work, you go and rest in the shade!"
Meng Hua was embarrassed, "Brother, I'm already this old, what's the big deal about doing a little work?"
"You are a scholar, how can you endure this hardship? I have no education and I do physical work. I can do this kind of work, but you can't." Meng Daguo said as he picked up a big broom and pushed Meng Hua out of the pigpen.
The mountains are lush and green, the sun is shining brightly, and even the cicadas are happy.
Meng Hua suddenly remembered that when he was a child, his elder brother loved him very much.
In winter, he helped him build snowmen, in summer, he helped him catch dragonflies, and he was taken with him to fish in the water and dig cicadas and monkeys. When he knocked over his grandmother's vegetable garden and did something naughty, his eldest brother stood up and took the punishment for him.
At that time, the brothers felt very good.
Later, his mother was partial to him and treated his elder brother badly. His elder brother gradually became indifferent to him and no longer protected him as much as he did when he was a child.
Now, mother treats my eldest brother equally and has become visibly better to him, and his attitude has also changed.
The eldest brother had no complaints about him. Even though he was studying at Peking University while his brother had to endure hardship in the countryside, the eldest brother had no complaints. The relationship between the brothers was very harmonious, and the eldest brother loved his younger brother from the bottom of his heart.
Meng Hua knew why all this happened, and only now did he truly understand his mother's good intentions.
His mother's transformation made him feel lost at first, but over time he gained something more precious from it.
Meng Hua smiled and chatted with his brother: "Brother, how are the pigs selling before the New Year?"
Meng Daguo moved the pig trough over and wiped his sweat. "We sold all of them. My mother was really capable. She sold part of it at the wholesale price and sold the rest of the pork at a high price on the black market. She made three or four thousand yuan."
Meng Hua didn't expect that his mother had so much money.
He rented a camera at the beginning of the year and took photos of his classmates and tourists in college, earning a few hundred yuan.
He also earned thousands of dollars by reselling supplies. One or two thousand a year was not bad for him. After all, he was a student and did these things part-time in his spare time.
Who would have thought that his mother's steps were much bigger than his.
Meng Hua asked again: "How many pigs did you raise this year?"
"Also twenty. Mom said the situation is unstable this year, so it's better to be conservative."
Meng Hua originally wanted to take a bigger step this year and go to Guangzhou to trade some imported goods, but after hearing what his mother said, he decided to take it slow and make money openly after graduation.
Meng Daguo was too hot from working so he took off his shirt and threw it on a tree branch. Years of hard work had broad shoulders and a tanned back with strong muscles, making Meng Hua, who stayed in the house studying all day, extremely jealous.
"Brother, how did you train your muscles? I don't have any muscles no matter how much I run. Among the three of us brothers, you look the most like our dad. My second brother looks neither. I look like our mom. I am more pretty but lack the masculine energy." Meng Hua said honestly.
Meng Daguo has idolized his father since he was a child, so naturally he likes people saying that he looks like his father.
He wiped his face and smiled, he was very proud of his muscular body. Not only his mother praised him, but also the grandfathers in the village praised him, and his wife also loved the feel of it.
Although his wife never said anything, she would touch him a few times every night when they had sex, which made him, an old man, very confident, so he deliberately maintained his muscles.
Meng Daguo laughed and said, "You have never had firm muscles since you were a child, and you don't often do farm work, so it's normal that you don't have muscles."
Meng Hua really envied his brother. Although many women liked his type, as a man, he still admired his brother's body. Men speak with their fists. A tall and strong man will not be bullied when he goes out.
It's really helpless that no one takes a pretty boy like him seriously wherever he goes.
After Meng Daguo cleaned up, he took Meng Hua into the water to take a bath and fish.
The village has been less busy these days, so Meng Daguo has time to take his brother out to play. This is also his mother's idea, saying that Meng Hua's studies are too hard, so he should relax when he comes back and not stay in the house reading books all day.
In the evening, the water was warmed by the sun and the water in the dam was flowing rapidly, which meant that water was released from upstream. As soon as the water was released from upstream, people came out to catch fish.
Meng Hua and Meng Daguo have been swimming here since they were little. They just took off their clothes and jumped in.
The two of them swam from the east side of the river to the west side of the river, and Meng Daguo dived and disappeared.
Just as Meng Hua was worried, he emerged from the water and caught a fish.
"Third brother, catch it!" Meng Daguo threw the fish ashore.
Meng Hua caught it red-handed with his clothes.
The two brothers borrowed other people's tools to catch a few fish, and Meng Eryong came over with a bucket and a net.
Meng Eryong sensitively noticed that something was wrong with the two of them. They were not very familiar with each other when they went out in the morning, so why did they become so sticky and disgusting after going to the pig farm?
Meng Eryong glanced at them warily. These two people getting together, could they be saying bad things about him and trying to exclude him?
It's not impossible. When they were young, their relationship was just fine. He was stuck in the middle, neither of them being a good person.
His elder brother was not close to him, and neither was his younger brother. He read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" several times and learned some strategies, so he secretly alienated the two of them. Later, Meng Daguo really became disloyal to Meng Hua. He was secretly happy, thinking that his strategy was effective. For a few years, he even felt guilty and wondered if he had gone too far.
Who would have thought that these two would get along again? Do they really think he is air?
Meng Hua thought of something funny and whispered a few words into Meng Daguo's ear, causing Meng Daguo to laugh out loud.
Meng Eryong walked over and asked suspiciously, "What are you two talking about?"
Meng Hua raised an eyebrow, "It's a secret, I won't tell you!"
Meng Eryong was so angry.
The three brothers carried a bucket full of fish and also caught some river shrimps.
Zhen Zhen poured the fish and shrimp into the bucket.
The fish and shrimps when the dam is released are not very tasty, but nowadays one can't be so particular, as long as there is something to eat, it's good. She is willing to use oil when cooking and has enough seasonings. Plus, with the heroine Cheng Su's cooking skills, the food will definitely not be bad.
In the evening, Meng Zhaodi cooked pig food and swept the yard. Cheng Su made small fish hot pot stickers with the freshly caught fish and shrimp. According to Zhen Zhen's request, she used corn flour and sweet potato flour and stuck a circle of small pancakes around the iron pot. It was really an authentic farm dish.
Fearing that there wouldn't be enough to eat, Zhen Zhen went to the backyard to pick some tomatoes and made scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
There are plenty of chickens and eggs at home, so the scrambled eggs with tomatoes have more eggs than tomatoes.
I also made stir-fried bamboo shoots with shredded pork and stir-fried water spinach. These side dishes were all fried on the coal stove. Zhen Zhen just bought a new pot from Zhao Meilan last month, so it is very convenient to cook with it.
It’s just that coal stoves require coal briquettes, which cost more than firewood, so large iron pots are still the main cooking method at home.
Everyone was satisfied with the meal, especially Meng Hua. He had been eating the food from home at school, so he couldn't help but wolf it down. Meng Daguo felt sorry for him, thinking that his brother must have suffered a lot at school, and he was still hungry.
Meng Zhaodi only went back after having a full meal at Meng's house. Zhang Qiaohong used to say that she was not as pretty as Meng Laidi, and everyone agreed with this.
Now that she had eaten her fill, her face became rounder and plumper, and she seemed to have grown up.
This morning her aunt and grandmother said that she has changed a lot as she grows up.
Meng Zhaodi was naturally happy, and she walked much faster.
Meng Laidi saw her come back in the house and his teeth were grinding. The next day, she ran to Zhen Zhen.
"Auntie, I want to study with you too." Meng Laidi said gritting his teeth.
The last time she went to the next village to look for Su Xiu, her grandmother found out and beat her up severely. She behaved herself for a few months, but then her old problem came back again.
Zhen Zhen glanced at her unhappily and said, "I'm busy."
Meng Lai Di was unhappy, "Why don't you have time? You have time to teach Meng Zhao Di, can't you teach me? I want to go to college too!"
Zhen Zhen didn't believe it at all. With Meng Laidi's temper, he couldn't even sit still for ten minutes, and he still wanted to go to college?
Meng Laidi is twelve years old this year, and fourteen years old in appearance. Nowadays, girls generally get their first period late. Meng Laidi got her first period last year, which is considered early among her peers.
Her dress and appearance have changed a lot, and she walks in a timid way. When she meets a good boy, she will even wink at him.
Zhen Zhen has been encountered several times, let alone Zhang Qiaohong.
Zhang Qiaohong was very angry. Everyone in the village was looking at her. Meng Laidi's behavior was so shameful that she was too embarrassed to face anyone.
Zhang Qiaohong beat him with willow branches several times, and the branches were broken several times, but Meng Laidi never repented.
Can someone with this personality really want to learn?
Either she wants to come to Zhen Zhen's place to eat and drink for free, or she wants to make some money so that she can find a good family to marry into.
If anything happens to her, she won't be able to afford it.
Zhen Zhen glanced at her rudely, "Do I need to ask you if I am free?"
Meng Laidi was so angry at what she said that he ran away.
Watermelons were on the market, so Zhen Zhen rode his bike to the town and bought a sack of watermelons. He put them in a water jar to keep them cool. The four children loved eating watermelons the most, so Zhen Zhen cut a piece for each of them. When the children from the village who came to play with them saw it, they all hid outside the door to peek.
Watermelon is not cheap either, who can afford to eat it like this every day?
Daya's family eats watermelon every day. They all think that Daya's grandmother is so nice and buys them everything.
Since they were all from the same village, Zhen Zhen was not stingy. He cut a small piece for each of them and there was no more.
The children were very happy after eating the watermelon and they even ate the rind cleanly.
"Daya, your grandma is so good to you. She always buys you such big watermelons. You are so lucky." Dawang said.
Daya didn’t know what the word happiness meant, but she could feel that her grandma was really good to her.
"Thank you, I feel very happy too. Dawang, are you happy?" Daya asked.
Da Wang shook his head and said, "My mother asks me to lick the bottom of the bowl all day long. I am not happy."
Daya felt that Dawang was very pitiful and gave him a piece of candy.
"My grandma said that if you feel down, just eat a piece of candy."
Da Wang opened the candy and put it into his mouth. The sweet taste burst on the tip of his tongue, and his mood really improved.
Meng Hua brought back a lot of things to resell this time. Zhen Zhen took time out to take him to the county town. Zhao Meilan hadn't seen her for a while and thought she was busy with the summer harvest. She was very surprised when she saw her.
First, I felt that her complexion had not changed at all, and that she was someone who did not farm.
The second thing was that I was surprised by Meng Hua's appearance. She looked exactly like Sister Zhen.
Zhao Meilan laughed and said, "My husband has been guessing your relationship for a long time. He said you are nephew, mother and son, and sister and brother. I think he is ridiculous. You two look like mother and son."
Zhen Zhen originally wanted to tell a lie, but she didn't expect that she would see through it at first sight.
"How did you know that?"
"Do I need to see this? Of course it's my mother's intuition. Sister Zhen, I have to say that your son is too handsome. You can tell from his temperament that he is not an ordinary person." The more Zhao Meilan looked at him, the more she felt that Meng Hua was not someone that could be kept in this small place. The temperament between the child's eyebrows was too obvious. "Sister, does your child have a partner?"
After Meng Hua went to college, many people in the village wanted to introduce him to a partner. It wasn't that they were fanciful. Nowadays, marriage is decided by parents, and Meng Hua is filial. As long as they could please Zhen Zhen, his mother, why would they be afraid that Meng Hua would not agree?
Many old ladies urged their daughters to go to the Meng family to do farm work, just like Zhang Cuihua did when she was pursuing Daguo.
They were all driven away by Zhen Zhen.
Zhen Zhen smiled and shook his head, "He doesn't mean that yet. I also want to keep him for a few more years."
Zhao Meilan was excited when she heard that Meng Hua was single.
"Sister, your child is 20 years old, right? It's time to find a partner! I have a relative in my family. The child's father is the second-in-command in the county. He has a good family background and is beautiful. He is a good match for your Meng Hua. If you don't mind, I will arrange for the two children to meet. What if they fall in love with each other?"
Zhen Zhen couldn't make the decision for Meng Hua, so he looked at him and asked, "What do you think?"
Meng Hua shook his head, his expression unchanged, "A man should build a career before starting a family. I'm still studying, so I'm not in a hurry to find a partner."
Zhao Meilan was stunned. Even her father-in-law, the second-in-command in the county, looked down on her. Was this man too stupid or too smart?
Zhen Zhen smiled and handed the scarf to Zhao Meilan. "I asked you to come and look at the goods, not to introduce you to someone."
Zhao Meilan came to her senses and smiled. There was nothing to choose from this batch of goods. The styles and quality were all very good. There were more types than last year, but they were all hot-selling items. There was a shortage of supplies in the county town, and apart from daily food and drink, there was really nothing you could find.
The batch of goods that Meng Hua brought was not a problem at all.
She could make hundreds of dollars by reselling this batch of goods, but she still felt a little disappointed.
Meng Hua is such an outstanding person. If we can introduce him to her relatives, wouldn't that be a favor to both sides?
Unfortunately, this child has too high standards and will probably be hard to control in the future. It is a wise decision not to introduce her to her relatives.
Meng Hua earned more than two hundred yuan from this batch of goods, so he bought two bags of peach cakes and went to visit his second uncle.
Zhen Zhen hadn't seen his second brother for a long time. His daughter-in-law Wang Ling was pregnant again, this time with a boy. Zhen Xiangyang hadn't been a father for a long time and was very happy. When he saw Meng Hua coming back, he asked Wang Ling to cook some dishes and treat their family to a few drinks.
Zhen Zhen didn't drink, but Meng Hua was forced to drink a lot of wine.
Brother Zhen took a sip of wine and said, "My nephew came to visit me during the holidays. As his uncle, I feel so relieved."
Meng Hua chatted with him for a few minutes and told him about his life at Peking University, what classes he took every day, what books he read, what extracurricular activities he participated in with his classmates, how he caught up with his English, and so on.
Brother Zhen is an educator, and he gave him some suggestions while listening.
Meng Hua listened carefully.
It gets dark late in the summer. When Zhen Zhen was riding her third son back to the village, it was not yet completely dark. As soon as she parked the bike, Zhang Cuihua came over.
"Guizhi, something happened in the village."
Zhen Zhen looked at him and took off his straw hat. "What's the matter?"
"Do you remember that educated youth Yin Xue? The one who lived in Meng Yi's house, she was pushed off a cliff!"
Zhen Zhen's heart skipped a beat. Life was going so smoothly that she had forgotten this plot existed in the book. The supporting actress Yin Xue went missing, and the heroine became the primary suspect. In the end, she was sent to prison by the abusive male protagonist himself.
If you love her, send her to jail. The male protagonist may not be good at other things, but he does this very well.
Zhen Zhen hung the straw hat on the handlebars and followed Zhang Cuihua to the cliff where Yin Xue disappeared.
Batou Village is mountainous, with many wild cliffs nearby. The place where she disappeared this time is in the back mountain of Batou Village.
The moon was high in the sky and the night in the mountains was very noisy. When Zhen Zhen arrived, Li Decheng was searching.
Under the moonlight, Cheng Su stood helplessly on the edge of the cliff with red eyes and tears streaming down her face.
"Uncle De," Zhen Zhen said.
Li Decheng nodded. When Cheng Su saw her, she couldn't hold back her tears any longer and rushed up to hug her.
"Auntie Zhen!"
Zhen Zhen patted her shoulder and looked at Li Decheng, "Uncle De, I heard something happened here? Cheng Zhiqing has been living in my house, and I am half her family, so I wanted to come and take a look."
Li Decheng nodded, pointed to a shoe on the ground and said:
"Yin Zhiqing fell off a cliff. There was only one shoe of Cheng Zhiqing at the scene. Yin Zhiqing and Cheng Zhiqing had always been at odds with each other. Everyone said that it was Cheng Zhiqing who pushed the man off."
It's no wonder that Li Decheng was suspicious. There was a sunshower in Batou Village this afternoon. The mountain was wet with rain and the road was difficult to walk on. However, there were only two people's footprints at the scene, one of which was Cheng Su's.
