"Suicide?" Li Xiyue was shocked. "Why would he commit suicide?"
Huang Xinrui shook her head. "I don't know either. I heard something from the villagers, but the team leader told us not to spread it, so I didn't find out anything."
"Then Comrade Xiangyang's uncle..." Is he still alive?
"The person is still alive," Huang Xinrui said. "It was discovered in time. Grandpa Xu saved the person and later sent him to the hospital."
Li Xiyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was alive.
Xu Xiangyang only has his uncle as a relative. If his uncle dies again, he is afraid that he really won’t be able to bear the blow.
Li Xiyue slept uneasily all night, feeling that Xu Xiangyang's uncle's suicide was not a simple matter, and vaguely felt that it was somewhat related to herself.
The next day she got up very early, wanting to go to Uncle Xu's house early to ask about the situation.
After being gloomy for many days, the sun finally came out and the temperature rose a little, but in the south, it will not really get hot until after May Day.
I arrived at Uncle Xu's house in the morning light and found him lying on a rocking chair in the yard, covered with a thin blanket. The sun was shining on him. He had silver hair and beard, and his face was full of sorrow.
Xu Guoqing sat aside in a daze, and the usually bustling courtyard became unusually quiet.
"Sister Li, you're here?" Xu Guoqing greeted Li Xiyue weakly when he saw her.
Xu Guoqing has always been energetic and noisy. Except when he was sick, this was the first time Li Xiyue saw him so listless.
Uncle Xu waved at her, "Girl, come here."
Li Xiyue walked over and sat down next to him.
"Have you heard about the Xiangyang family?"
Li Xiyue nodded, "How is his uncle doing?"
Although she had never met Xu Xiangyang's uncle, she had worked with Xu Xiangyang after all, and he had helped her several times, so they had a certain degree of friendship, so she had to show some concern for him.
"His life was saved, but it seems like he couldn't be saved." Uncle Xu sighed.
Li Xiyue didn't understand, "What do you mean?"
"Grandpa means that there is no difference between Uncle Xu being alive and being dead." Xu Guoqing answered, holding his cheeks with both hands.
The body is alive, but the heart is dead?
Li Xiyue asked doubtfully, "What's going on? Why would you be so upset?"
"Actually, this matter has a little to do with you." Uncle Xu said as he sat down.
Li Xiyue's heart skipped a beat. As expected.
But she had never met Xu Xiangyang's uncle. Why would his uncle commit suicide because of her?
Xu Guoqing was furious. "It was all Sister Hongtiao who went to Brother Xiangyang's house and said that there was something fishy going on between you and Brother Xiangyang, and his uncle heard it."
"My relationship with Comrade Xiangyang is not normal? Why is it not normal between him and me?"
Li Xiyue was so angry that she laughed. She was busy with her own things most of the time, and Xu Xiangyang disappeared every now and then. The two of them had hardly ever been alone together. How could this be spread as gossip?
Xu Guoqing nodded. "So Sister Hongtiao is talking nonsense."
"Grandpa Xu, even if his uncle misunderstood the relationship between Comrade Xiangyang and me, what does this have to do with his uncle's suicide?" Li Xiyue still didn't understand.
"Well, it's all about those bad things from the past..." Uncle Xu sighed and changed the subject. "When I was called over yesterday, the bed was covered in blood. Xiangyang was kneeling beside the bed, looking like his soul had been sucked out of him..."
Li Xiyue could imagine that scene, but she felt a little depressed. She clearly did nothing, but she almost took a life for no reason.
Sure enough, rumors can kill people.
"Girl, I know this matter has nothing to do with you, so don't take it to heart." Uncle Xu comforted her when he saw that she looked unhappy.
Li Xiyue was about to speak when Liu Hongtiao came.
"Li Xiyue, you vixen, you evildoer. It's all because of you that Brother Xiangyang's uncle almost died. I will not forgive you." Liu Hongtiao rushed in and raised her hand to hit Li Xiyue.
Li Xiyue didn't expect that she would dare to dance in front of her. She reached out and grabbed her hand, twisted it hard, and directly broke one of her hands.
She was already furious. The culprit who had brought her such a stigma dared to come to her door. Wasn't he courting death?
Liu Hongtiao's face turned pale with pain. She held her broken hand and stared at Li Xiyue, "How dare you..."
Li Xiyue was still not satisfied, so she grabbed her hair and shot her in the face ten times in a row.
As the loud slap rang out, Xu Hongtiao's face became red and swollen, and the corners of her mouth were rubbed and bleeding.
She screamed in pain and tried to resist, but her arm was broken and she was in excruciating pain when she exerted force.
She had no power to resist and could only let Li Xiyue slap her in the face, her head buzzing.
Li Xiyue let out a lot of anger and then let her go.
Liu Hongtiao fell to the ground, tears streaming down her face. "Li, Li Xiyue, how dare you hit me? How dare you hit me? My uncle is the accountant of the team committee..."
Her face was badly swollen and her speech was slurred.
"So what if I'm a cadre?" Li Xiyue was really annoyed this time. "As a cadre of the brigade, I should set an example and control you, a mad dog that barks and bites all the time!"
Xu Weimin promised last time that he would not let Liu Hongtiao bother her again, but not long after that, he let Liu Hongtiao out to bite people again.
It’s none of her business that Liu Hongtiao likes Xu Xiangyang. What does it mean that she keeps biting her?
Xu Guoqing on the side was stunned. Li Xiyue was always polite, approachable and obedient in front of others. This was the first time she showed such a fierce side.
Although he was shocked, he was extremely excited inside. Sister Li is simply so cool!
