Chapter 440: Parents-in-law are not easy to get along with



"My father and I haven't been able to sleep soundly these past two days. The person who came last night pried open the door of my house and sneaked in. Fortunately, my father got a dog from a relative's house and it started barking. Otherwise..."

Zhou Jianping is still scared now. The murderer must have waited for him beforehand and knew that his family didn’t have a dog, so he dared to come to his house. The dog came in handy.

"I was busy with the police during the day and only got some free time now. Thank you so much, benefactor. You saved the lives of my family."

The Zhou family was filled with gratitude. There were six of them, young and old, and if it weren’t for the dog’s warning, they would have definitely been cut in the neck by the murderer in their sleep in the middle of the night.

"Be more careful next time and don't let anyone know that you are rich." Jiang Hanyan smiled.

Zhou Jianping nodded vigorously. He would never cry poor every day again and would never dare to show off his wealth again. He pulled the man next to him and introduced him, "He is from my village. His name is Zhou Liping. He usually works outside and rarely comes back to live in the village. His wife and children stay in the village with his parents. Five days ago, his wife suddenly jumped into the reservoir and her body has not been found yet. Can you help me calculate it?"

"Master, please help me find my wife. She told me in the dream that she was very cold and asked me to bring her up. I can't find her."

Zhou Liping suddenly knelt down, crying and begging. It was obvious that he was really sad. Both Bi's father and mother were moved and started to wipe their tears.

"Get up, how is your relationship with your wife?"

Jiang Hanyan asked people to get up. She felt that Zhou Liping did not seem to be acting, but if a woman lived a happy life, she would not jump into the reservoir. It was either because of a marital conflict, or because she was bullied by her parents-in-law, or because she was harmed by someone.

"Our relationship is okay. We have had our share of arguments over the years of marriage, but we make up quickly. I earn money in the city, and she takes care of the children and my parents in the village," said Zhou Liping.

Zhou Jianping's entire family testified for him, saying that he and his wife had a harmonious relationship.

"They rarely quarreled. Guiying had a very good personality, was honest and willing to endure hardships, and was very popular in the village. Who would have thought that she would be so depressed?" Zhou's mother sighed and lamented.

"Why are you so sure that Guiying committed suicide and not murder? Have you called the police?" Jiang Hanyan asked.

"How could it be murder? It's impossible. Guiying is so popular, who would want to kill her?" Zhou's mother denied it repeatedly, finding it unbelievable.

"It was Fourth Aunt who said that Guiying jumped into the water and asked people to rescue her. One of Guiying's shoes was found by the reservoir," said Zhou Jianping's wife.

Fourth Aunt is Zhou Liping’s mother.

"Maybe it was a drowned ghost that came to find him. That's what the villagers say," said Zhou's mother.

Father Bi couldn't help rubbing his arms. He felt the room was cold and lonely, so he moved closer to his wife.

Zhou Liping did not call the police because he also thought his wife committed suicide. His family was just an ordinary family and his wife had never quarreled with anyone in the village. She was kind to everyone. Who would harm her?

In fact, he also tended to agree with Zhou's mother that his wife was found by a drowning ghost, and now he just wanted to find his wife's body and bury her in peace.

Jiang Hanyan asked Guiying about her birth date and fortune and told her fortune. Everyone watched and held their breath for fear of disturbing her fortune-telling.

The hexagram came out, and Jiang Hanyan's expression was solemn. Guiying was indeed dead, and the hexagram showed that she was trapped in the cold water, which meant that the body was still in the reservoir. Did Guiying really commit suicide?

She said she would go to the reservoir tomorrow and asked Zhou Liping to go home first.

After they left, Tian Xinxin asked curiously, "Did his wife really commit suicide?"

"It should be suicide."

Jiang Hanyan actually still had some doubts. According to Zhou Liping, his wife had a good personality, was quiet, had a good relationship with the villagers, and had no conflicts with her parents-in-law. Although the family was not wealthy, they could probably get by. Why would she want to commit suicide?

There must be something hidden.

After breakfast the next day, they set out for Zhou Liping's village, which was about twenty miles away from the urban area. Bi's father and mother followed them. Zhou Liping and Zhou Jianping were waiting at the entrance of the village early, as were other villagers.

"That guy is a master, right? He looks like one. Zhou Liping is spending a lot of money this time, 10,000 yuan."

"Guiying's family is making trouble. He won't be able to report to them unless he finds them."

"Humph, they don't feel sorry for their daughter, they just want money."

"Guiying is also a pitiful person. Her family is unreliable. She finally had a good life, but was harmed by a drowning ghost again."

The villagers were whispering loudly, they all thought that Father Bi was the master, and they looked at him with special respect.

The reservoir is on the back mountain. It is not big, but the water is very deep. Every summer, there will be accidents in the reservoir. People in the village say that it is the drowning ghost looking for a scapegoat.

Jiang Hanyan and his companions had already reached the edge of the reservoir. The water was emerald green, and obviously very deep. Many people gathered on the shore, some from the village and some from the neighboring village. They had all heard that a master had been invited, and had come to watch the fun.

There were two elderly people and two children, a boy and a girl, beside Zhou Liping. They were his parents and the child. The younger child didn't know that his mother was gone and was laughing heartlessly. The older child had a sad look on his face and his eyes were swollen like walnuts.

There were also a few people who were the deceased Guiying's maternal relatives. They looked unfriendly and did not show any sadness. Instead, they seemed to be there to collect debts.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Guiying's family insisted that it was Liping's family who forced Guiying to death and asked them to pay 100,000 yuan in compensation. They have been making a fuss these past few days. Liping now just wants to find Guiying's body, firstly to bury her in peace, and secondly to prove that Guiying was not abused during her lifetime and was not forced to death by his family." Zhou Jianping said.

Jiang Hanyan sighed lightly. There were many women like Guiying in the country. Their parents' families were not valued and some even became tools for their parents to make money. Even after their death, they still relied on her to make money.

There are too many parents who take advantage of others’ misfortune.

She glanced at Zhou Liping's parents. The old couple did not look kind and were obviously related to Guiying's death.

"How do your parents treat their daughter-in-law?" Jiang Hanyan couldn't help but ask.

"It's pretty good. Sometimes when Guiying and I quarrel, they scold me, but they don't abuse Guiying."

Zhou Liping assured that he believed in his parents and they would never force his wife to death.

Jiang Hanyan smiled. This old couple didn't look like someone who would get along well with others. Zhou Liping was away all year round, so he had no idea what was going on at home. Guiying was not good at speaking, and she had no close friends in the village. If she kept holding back her negative energy for too long, she might become unable to let go.

Until now, Jiang Hanyan has speculated that Guiying jumped into the water because she was upset because of the conflict with her parents-in-law and was too worried.

She told another divination, and this time the result was obvious.

"Northeast direction, fifty meters from here, you can find it by diving down."

Jiang Hanyan explained in great detail that the village had already prepared a small boat and diving suits. Although they were skeptical about what she said, they still dived down. They were two villagers who were good at swimming. The water surface soon became calm and there was no movement for a long time.

"How can a little girl like her be a master? Is she trying to cheat people out of money?"

"Zhou Liping is so anxious that he is confused. He is looking for such a yellow-haired girl. He will definitely not find her."

The villagers were whispering again. They didn't believe that Jiang Hanyan had this ability and thought it was all in vain again.

As time passed, the air became quieter and quieter. Everyone stared at the water nervously. The two villagers had been down there for more than ten minutes, and there was no movement. No one knew what had happened.
