Yu Sui blinked as she listened to this: "Be more specific."
Wu Su: "No, it's just like this, with a strong smell of gunpowder."
"So, I can keep doing this?"
"I can't give you advice on this. I can only tell you that this is how I feel."
Yu Sui pursed her lips and thought for a moment: "Well, as long as it doesn't smell of blood, it's fine."
She continued to carve the words according to the written letters, and then began to print them out with ink.
At least thirty or forty copies were printed.
The room was filled with the smell of ink, which made Yu Sui feel a little nauseous, so she had to open the window.
And it was already night.
Someone is knocking on the door outside.
Wu Su was nervous: "Who!"
"It should be Master Ma who sent us back."
Yu Sui went to open the door, and it turned out to be Ma Yingxiong, who smiled and handed her a piece of paper: "Sister-in-law, I've written down all the names, addresses, and current whereabouts you wanted here."
"Okay, thank you." Because there were only two women living there, Yu Sui didn't invite Ma Yingxiong into the room. Instead, she stood in the corridor outside and whispered, "And about that He Yuren in the mental hospital, did you find out anything?"
Ma Yingxiong immediately stopped laughing: "Ah, did you know that person is dead?"
"Know."
"Then why did you ask about it?"
"Isn't one of my relatives still staying in that mental hospital? It seems his condition isn't good. I need to know more about it."
Ma Yingxiong looked at Yu Sui and scratched his head. "Sister-in-law, Xia Linsheng called me this morning and asked if you were home safely. You asked me to find out the news for you, but I didn't dare tell you."
Yu Sui: "That's definitely not something I can tell you. If Xia Linsheng dares to do something bad in the future, I'll have to find a way to deal with him!"
"Hahaha, he wouldn't dare. But, sister-in-law, he really cares about you. He even said you're pregnant. Don't worry about those messed-up things."
"I know, I know. I'm just asking for my relative. Really, I'm just asking. I don't mind your business. So, tell me, how did that Mr. He die?"
Ma Yingxiong scratched his head several times, and when he realized that Yu Sui's eyes were full of indifference, he said:
"They said he fell into the river and died. His family was going to report him to the police, but when they found a pair of women's floral panties in his bag that had fallen on the shore, his wife got furious and said, 'He Fengnian, who's a nobody, must have fallen into the river while having fun with some slut, so let him die.' So they didn't report it to the police."
He had been buried for a long time now. Because his wife was very angry, she burned the body on the same day she fished it out of the river. It had been two or three months since then. But his wife became more and more angry after thinking about it, saying that the man did not bring all the money home, and that it might have been given to some slut. So she went to the mental hospital to make a scene. After a long time of making a scene without any resolution, the woman did something even worse. She hung the underpants that were found in the search in the corridor of the mental hospital office for everyone to see.
It was a pretty ugly incident, but after all that fuss, it seemed like the real culprit was finally found! Rumors soon started circulating in the hospital that the woman in the shorts belonged to a nurse named Jane. Another nurse recognized her and told her about it, and it was a big deal! Do you remember when you came back and we passed by the mental hospital, and you wanted to check it out? And then I told you not to go because someone had hanged themselves there before—nurse Jane!
Another life.
Yu Sui had been trained by people like Yu Qiu to no longer be shocked, but she felt very heavy: "So, is that Nurse Jian really related to this He Fengnian?"
Ma Yingxiong spread his hands:
"Who knows? He Fengnian is dead, there's no evidence. But for a woman, reputation is the most important thing. If someone makes a scene like that, and her panties are exposed to everyone, then it's like mud falling on her crotch. It's shit anyway.
When I asked people about this incident, some people spoke up for it, saying it wouldn't happen because Nurse Jian's family was well-off and she was marrying the son of the county magistrate's secretary. He was much more handsome than He Fengnian, so it shouldn't have happened. But the rumors were so bad that Nurse Jian was constantly being pointed at and criticized whenever she went out. It was endless and she couldn't explain herself. Later, her husband even started to suspect her. What woman could stand that? She just... committed suicide!"
Yu Sui sighed inwardly, but could only nod and record this incident involving Nurse Jian on Yu Qiu's account:
"I understand. Poor woman. Don't worry, I'm just asking, just gossiping. This is a thank-you gift for your friends who helped me find this information. The cigarettes are too conspicuous with you, and the bills and money are inside, so keep them."
"This... I'm so embarrassed, I, I didn't tell Xia Linsheng..." Ma Yingxiong hesitated, wanting to take it but feeling bad.
Yu Sui stuffed the envelope into his hand and said, "What's there to be embarrassed about? We agreed on this. There's really no need for him to know. After all, the relative in the mental hospital is from my mother's family, and I'd feel a bit embarrassed if he knew. Take it quickly. It's cold. Thank you for your help."
Ma Yingxiong accepted it with a wry smile.
Yu Sui waved to him and went back to her room. Just as she was about to go out for dinner with Wu Su, there was another knock on the door.
Wu Su looked at her.
This time, Yu Sui didn't know who it was and didn't say anything for a while.
Unexpectedly, Ma Yingxiong's voice came from outside: "Hey, sister-in-law, sister-in-law?"
Yu Sui had no choice but to go out again: "Master Ma, what's the matter?"
Ma Yingxiong stuffed the envelope back into his pocket and said, "This is too much! You only mentioned two packs of cigarettes, not a dime. I can't take this, sister-in-law. This is too much!"
Yu Sui was wondering why: "No, I've been bothering you for so long, so I'll just give it to you all at once. Just keep it. I've troubled you so much."
Ma Yingxiong blushed: "That's too much. Just tell me what you want. Our factory is not busy."
Yu Sui: "How about this, you help me go to the county high school to pick up my brother, and I'll take him out for dinner."
"That's easy. I'll pick him up, give him a meal, and then send him back. Whenever you go back to your home in the countryside, I'll also send you back." Ma Yingxiong was very attentive.
Yu Sui was also very happy. There were no taxis in those days, and transportation was very inconvenient. It took a lot of time to get things done. With Ma Yingxiong's help, she could get things done more smoothly.
Yu Sui: "Okay, pick up Yu Cheng and we'll have dinner together. After dinner, you can send him back. And then you can send me to the provincial capital tomorrow, okay?"
"Province... 僢!"
