Chapter 80 Something Happened
After Gu Lanting left, Yuan Xiao walked over and pulled Qian Yingying's hand away, "You should go back too."
Qian Yingying didn't care about her brother who was crying red, and murmured, "My father remarried, my stepmother and stepsister are very fierce, I don't have enough to eat every day, can I stay here?"
Yuan Xiao and Wang Yazhi looked at each other and said nothing, but grandma said with her hands behind her back, "Go back."
Qian Yingying looked at grandma with tears in her eyes, "Grandma..."
"This is your aunt's house, not your home, go back." Grandma repeated.
Qian Yingying's face turned red, and she looked at Wang Yazhi pitifully.
Although Wang Yazhi was soft-hearted, she still turned her head away and didn't say anything.
Yuan Xiao would not want to keep her. If she wanted to, she would have spoken long ago.
Yuan Xiao would not do anything he did not want to do.
Qian Yingying had no choice but to walk out holding her brother, looking back every few steps.
Seeing her leave, grandma let out a heavy sigh.
"Mom, actually it's okay to give her some money." Wang Yazhi couldn't bear it.
Grandma waved her hands with a sullen face, and sat down with her knees propped up. "You don't understand, Qian Yingying grew up under my care, and her thoughts are no less than Qian Junsheng."
Qian Yingying was the first grandchild to grow up by her side, and no one knew her personality better than her.
Old Madam Yang put down her needle and thread, and said faintly: "Your mother is right. Once a gap is opened, it will only get bigger and bigger. You are a good person, but not everyone deserves your kindness."
Yuan Xiao tacitly agreed with this statement. She didn't know what kind of person Qian Yingying was, but since her grandmother had said so, she would not comment.
She has always been kind to the world, but this kindness is not for everyone.
The world is worth it, but some people are not.
Yuan Xiao had lunch, said hello, locked herself in the room, and went into the forest.
Yunxiao's product sales are now very stable. She basically goes into the forest to harvest fixed things, and has not thought about launching new products for the time being.
But due to the current economic environment, new products must be launched slowly so as not to be too eye-catching.
She harvested the ingredients as usual, and then walked around the forest again.
The single dog jumped out again, wagging its tail, "Host, are you sure you really won't upgrade?"
Yuan Xiao flipped through the book casually, "Not enough money, will you lower the price?"
The single dog hung his head, it was impossible to lower the price, it would never be possible in this lifetime.
After turning to the back of the insect repellent powder, she flipped through several pages in a row, all of which were about the preparation of spices.
The insect repellent powder is selling very well, but the spices can be put into a series.
Yuan Xiao browsed all the way, looking for useful medicinal materials in the mountains, and his eyes stopped at a star-marked spice recipe.
"Single dog, is there anything special about this 'National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance'?"
"This is a recipe used by imperial concubines in ancient times for bathing and skin care. It is made with fourteen kinds of Chinese herbs. It is said to be able to detoxify and nourish the skin. It has been lost."
In addition to National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance, Yuan Xiao also picked out "Flower Dew" and "Hundred Flowers Fragrance". If they are successfully made, they may even replace perfume.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when we left the forest. A gust of hot air came in, and the chirping of cicadas came from outside.
Yuan Xiao changed into a comfortable cotton coat and went out to see Mrs. Yang and grandma making sachets under the pergola.
"Handmade ones are very beautiful, but the speed is a bit slow."
If more spices are added, more sachets will be needed every day.
Old Madam Yang said, "Wouldn't it be much faster to buy a sewing machine?"
Yuan Xiao thought for a moment, "Then I'll have to buy two more."
She suddenly remembered that in this era, when getting married, people from wealthy families all pay attention to three things and one sound, which are a bicycle, a sewing machine, a watch and a radio.
Yuan Xiao suddenly remembered that she hadn't used the radio sent to her last time, so she ran into the room and took it out to play with it.
When the button was turned on, the red light came on.
Looking at the logo under the button and operating it a few times, she heard a hissing sound of electric current.
Old lady Yang took off her reading glasses and said in surprise: "This thing can really make a sound?"
Yuan Xiao laughed, "When I adjust it, you can hear people talking."
Grandma leaned over and said: "What? Can you hear people talking?"
Yuan Xiao shook the radio a few more times, and slowly a singing voice mixed with the sound of electric current came, becoming clearer and clearer until it stabilized.
The songs played by the radio were all revolutionary songs, with loud and majestic voices. The older generation had sung them, and old lady Yang could occasionally sing along.
"Oh, just listen to one song, turn it off, the batteries are expensive." Old lady Yang said distressed.
There was a knock on the door, Yuan Xiao stood up, "It's okay, just listen. I can buy some batteries when they run out."
"Girl, we're here to pull the wires, is this the house?" The man in work clothes in the lead even looked at the house number.
Yuan Xiao stepped aside to let them in, "Yes, this is the house, our yard is a bit big, thank you for your hard work."
The electrician came in with his stuff, and at a glance, there were three connected yards, this was a wealthy family.
"Master, can it be done today?"
She couldn't wait to see the lights.
"It should be possible, I brought a few people with me."
Yuan Xiao smiled with satisfaction, sitting leisurely in the yard watching them busy, and soon their family would be able to pay the electricity bill!
Looking back a few months ago, she was still dark and thin, and she didn't even have enough to eat.
Seeing that the days were getting better and better and getting on track, Yuan Xiao felt so satisfied.
There were insect sounds in her ears, and her grandma fanned her gently. Yuan Xiao yawned and felt drowsy.
Just when she was about to fall asleep, the door rang.
Yuan Xiao was startled to see Gu Lanting walk in with a heavy face.
Her eyes met with his in the air, and Yuan Xiao could basically guess what was going on.
"Xiao Xiao, your aunt is in trouble. The suspects Qian Junsheng and He Changyan have been arrested."
He Changyan's crime was probably the female corpse found near the commune.
Grandma's body swayed, and she felt that her vision was dim. Her lips trembled slightly, and she spoke after a long time: "Something happened? Where? Has she been sent to the hospital?"
Yuan Xiao hurriedly supported her. Grandma only had two daughters, how could she not be sad.
Gu Lanting pursed his lips and said in a stagnant voice: "In the morgue, just waiting for the family to confirm, and then it will be sent for cremation."
In fact, he did not suggest that grandma go to confirm.
Wang Yating was buried in the pigpen. The body was decomposed and the stench was unbearable. It was impossible to see what it originally looked like.
Grandma covered her chest and sobbed, almost fainting.
"Go and notify Qian Yingying." Yuan Xiao said.
Gu Lanting nodded, "I have sent someone to notify them."
Yuan Xiao thought of something and asked, "Will Qian Junsheng and He Changyan be sentenced to death?"
"Probably. This matter is too evil."
Especially He Changyan, not only will he fall, but his former son-in-law who works in the Education Bureau will also be implicated.
He has done too many bad things, and it is too easy for him to die.
