Chapter 221 Flour

Although Chief Ling is very much like a pyramid scheme, it must be said that his words gave Yuan Xiao some inspiration.

Although she is a timid person, once she has something she wants to do, she will work hard to do it well.

At this time, her own vegetable garden and the dozens of farmers she cooperated with have already planted seeds, sprouted, and grown well.

She followed the trend and submitted all the vegetable and fruit seeds in her hands to the Institute of Agricultural Science and Technology.

The leaders above were happy and directly awarded Yuan Xiao a national science and technology contribution award.

And invited her to join the institute team, but Yuan Xiao declined.

She had to spend more time on the department store and study how to make the "business card" that Chief Ling said. It

was not until Li Yang came to the door that Yuan Xiao suddenly realized how long she had not gone out to play.

Last time, Chu Jiangping ordered her not to investigate Fu Yuanping and Zhong Xiaoqi's affairs. After returning to the capital, there were too many things to do, and she really put this matter behind her.

She and Li Yang hadn't seen each other for a while, and it was inevitable that they felt a little strange when they met again.

"Sister Li Yang, why did you come to see me?"

Li Yang bit her lip and looked embarrassed, "I have something to tell you, can I talk to you privately?"

Yuan Xiao agreed, "Come to my room."

Li Yang lowered his head and followed her.

"There is no one else here, you can speak."

Li Yang's face was a little pale, holding Yuan Xiao's hand and said, "Do you know Fu Yuanping?"

Yuan Xiao thought for a moment, "Why do you ask this, Sister Li Yang?"

"Fu Yuanping seems to be checking you recently. He found out that I had contact with you, so he came over and asked me a few questions, and then... asked me to get along well with you."

Yuan Xiao chuckled and said sarcastically, "He wants to use you again?"

"You really know Fu Yuanping?"

Yuan Xiao nodded, "Because of my family relationship, I knew him. Later, because of your relationship, I went to check the things in Dalan Village."

Li Yang's face was pale, and his hand loosened, "You went to Dalan Village? Do you know where Dalan Village is? Then, then my husband and children..."

Yuan Xiao suddenly softened her heart.

Li Yang thought that her departure brought peace to her husband and child, but how sad would she be if she knew that Zhong Xiaoqi was dead and the child was begging on the street?

"Sister Li Yang, Zhong Xiaoqi is dead."

Li Yang's mind was blank, and her ears were buzzing as if they were blocked.

She stood up with the help of the table, staggering and about to fall, "What did you say?"

"I said, Zhong Xiaoqi..."

"I don't believe it!" Li Yang interrupted sharply.

"He just had a leg injury. I asked the doctor, and he recovered very well. He just had a leg injury, how could he die? You must have lied to me. Fu Yuanping is right, you are not a good person, you approached me on purpose! You still want to lie to me!"

Yuan Xiao pinched her eyebrows, "Zhong Xiaoqi died suddenly not long after being discharged from the hospital. Then, his little remaining property was embezzled by his eldest brother, and the Zhong family also drove Zhong Li and Zhong Yang out of the house."

Her voice became lower and lower, and her voice became hoarse: "Zhong Li and Zhong Yang, do you still remember them?"

Li Yang covered his face, collapsed and knelt on the ground and cried loudly.

After crying, Li Yang suddenly thought of her children and choked up, "They, where are they? Are they...still alive?"

"They are fine, at least now."

Li Yang's body softened and she sat paralyzed on the ground, "That's good, that's good!"

"Sister Li Yang, although it is cruel, I still want to know some useful information from you. Zhong Xiaoqi was in good physical condition, but not long after he was discharged from the hospital, the Zhong family died. I suspect that he died a violent death and it was related to Fu Yuanping. But you have voluntarily left Dalan Village with Fu Yuanping, and he seems to have no reason to take Zhong Xiaoqi's life?"

Moreover, if this matter is found out, it will not be good for Fu Yuanping himself.

Li Yang wiped her tears, stood up with the help of the table, and looked dazed.

After a long silence, she finally spoke softly: "Fu Yuanping and my husband went to the army together. Later, my husband was injured while rescuing a leader. When he returned to his hometown to recuperate, Fu Yuanping falsely claimed his military merits and was selected by people in the capital to be a guard. My husband and Fu Yuanping are brothers who grew up together, so I didn't expose him. I only know this. Could it be because of this reason?"

Yuan Xiao frowned, looking disappointed.

No, at least she didn't think so.

The Chu family has fallen into decline. When Zhong Xiaoqi died, Chu Jiangping was demoted to Qushui County and was no longer a threat to Fu Yuanping.

In addition, Fu Yuanping is no longer a guard, and no one can easily touch him.

"Nothing else?"

Perhaps, there is something that Zhong Xiaoqi knows but Li Yang doesn't.

Li Yang shook his head, "I really don't know."

"Then why did he let you get close to me?"

Li Yang was stunned, "He didn't say, he just wanted me to build a good relationship with you, which would be useful in the future. I had a feeling that he wanted to harm you, so he came up to tell you."

Yuan Xiao felt that things in his mind were tangled.

Zhong Xiaoqi was definitely not killed by Fu Yuanping himself. The most suspicious murderer was his eldest brother Zhong Xiaofeng.

But why did Zhong Xiaofeng kill his younger brother, for money?

Yuan Xiao found it hard to believe that human nature could really be destroyed to this extent?

"How is the relationship between your husband and Zhong Xiaofeng?" Yuan Xiao asked again.

"The relationship is pretty good. My parents-in-law only have two sons, and they treat them equally."

Yuan Xiao felt even more strange. If he could still do this, how twisted was his human nature?

"Have they ever quarreled?"

Li Yang smiled bitterly. "Occasionally they argue, but they both have good tempers, so they don't quarrel."

Yuan Xiao slowly exhaled a foul breath. "Not even once? Think about it again?"

Li Yang looked at Yuan Xiao strangely, and paced back and forth for a few circles.

Suddenly, Li Yang turned around and said, "I'm a little embarrassed to say that my husband is usually a very frugal person. I think he saw my eldest brother buying a bag of flour, and the two of them had a fierce quarrel. At that time, we had not yet separated, and we were very frugal with our food. It was inevitable that he was a little radical."

"Flour? It seems that you don't live very well."

Li Yang shook his head, "Not really, the life in Dalan Village is better than that of people in other villages, and we can eat fine grains from time to time. If you put it that way, I think my husband is a little stingy. There is not much flour, I don't know how many small steamed buns it can make."

She compared the size of the bag, looking a little ashamed.

Yuan Xiao stared at her hand in a daze, and the white powder appeared in his mind.

Suddenly, Yuan Xiao was shocked!

Flour! Who knows, it's not flour at all!
