Liang Hongi didn’t react for a mont, carefully savoring the mont, she realized Du Guangjun called Qiu Hualan very affectionately.
It seed she understood sothing, just about to ask, when she saw Lin Guozhi coming over.
"Nannan, why are you here?"
"I ca to call you ho for dinner," Liang Hongi responded to Lin Guozhi, then turned to Du Guangjun, "This is my husband, Lin Guozhi. Guozhi, this is Du Guangjun, Old Du, from S City."
Lin Guozhi generously stepped forward and shook hands with Du Guangjun, smiling, "You... are here to find Qiu Hualan, right? I just learned about the case; fortunately, it was deed manslaughter, no death penalty, but probably a few years in prison."
Du Guangjun gave an awkward smile, but this smile was sowhat creepy, "I know all about it. It’s just her bad luck."
"Sigh, my condolences," Lin Guozhi patted Du Guangjun’s shoulder and said, "We have so things at ho, we’ll head back."
Saying that, he pulled Liang Hongi’s hand and left.
Du Guangjun nodded at them, looking slightly embarrassed.
When the two walked far, Lin Guozhi whispered to Liang Hongi, "Not much, no wonder Nannan didn’t like him."
Liang Hongi almost jumped at his words, gave him a glare, and whispered, "Don’t talk nonsense."
"Fortunately, I’m a bit more handso than him; otherwise, when I return, I probably couldn’t find my Nannan anymore."
"Alright, alright, stop talking about this. Aren’t you ashad? What’s the situation, did you find the child?"
"Found, at Li Xinghua’s house. When the child was brought out, still crying. Li Xinghua was afraid soone would hear the crying, so she stuffed a cloth in the child’s mouth. Only fed the child sothing at night."
"So, the child’s been like this these past few days?" Liang Hongi’s heart trembled, absolutely insane, so young being abused like this, Ye Weijun deserved to die, "How did you know the child might be at her house?"
"During the New Year last year, I accidentally discovered the affair between Ye Weijun and Li Xinghua. It was just a guess, didn’t expect as soon as the police arrived at her yard, she confessed and brought the child out."
"Wouldn’t she also have to serve ti for such actions?"
"At least a year of reform through labor."
Thinking of Li Xinghua, Liang Hongi thought of Li Fugui; this ti back, no one seed to ntion Li Fugui’s matters. Several tis Liang Hongi wanted to ask Lin Guozhi, but he dodged the question each ti.
i Langchi and Ye Qing, in a daze and with apprehensions, stayed in the hospital for two days, after which the police ca to record their statents.
Before they arrived, Ye Qing had already told her mother about the process, and everyone had already aligned their testimonies, ensuring there were no gaps.
Knowing their son was found and her mother would be sentenced to three years in prison, their hearts felt indescribable; joy un dared, not much sadness, mostly guilt. Everything happened too suddenly.
If not for the scar on her back reminding her, she would still think she was dreaming.
She found that S City had beco an unlucky place for her; as long as she went there, misfortunes ca one after another.
Ye Qing had over a dozen stitches on her back. It estimated to take half a month to heal.
Certainly, couldn’t go see her mother.
"Langchi, can you transfer my mom to an easier labor camp? Preferably closer to us. We’ve wronged mom; we can’t let her lose heart."
i Langchi nodded, "Okay, I’ll handle this matter."
"I want to see the child, not sure how the child is doing?"
"Tomorrow when you’re more stable, I’ll go back to see. Let’s send Uncle Du off first, the child can stay at Grandpa’s for now. When you’re better, we’ll bring the child back together."
"Alright."
....
The day after Little Grandmother’s burial, Ye Weijun was hurriedly buried. In the previous life, Ye Weijun drowned in the river while drunk.
This lifeti, he was killed by i Langchi. She vaguely felt that in the previous life, Ye Weijun’s drowning wasn’t as simple as it seed.
Regarding this murder case, the villagers dared not comnt much. Only felt Qiu Hualan’s imprisonnt was unjust; a person like Ye Weijun should have been dead long ago.
These past few days, they also saw Qiu Hualan’s suitor, a man of talent, apparently familiar with Liang Hongi’s couple. Rumored to be a leader.
The villagers mostly discussed Qiu Hualan’s fate, unlucky indeed, Heaven is unfair. Look at how Liang Hongi has co through hardship. Qiu Hualan, just as clouds were about to part, encountered such an incident.
However, eradicating this nace also considered benefiting the village.
"Hongi... in a few days Dandan’s getting married, why don’t you stay a few more days?" Liang Weixiang seed a lot more modest now. After her legs healed, she had a slight limp but was more capable than before.
Since she learned the big girl made money by selling chickens and ducks, she started her own chicken and duck business in the town. The money she earned stayed in her hand; no one else could take it.
She arranged a marriage for her third son this year, just married. Because the younger daughter was getting married, she hastily arranged for the third son.
What they were like, Lin Wan and Liang Hongi didn’t know, anyway, they didn’t co for Little Grandmother’s funeral.
For the Liang Weixiang family, they had nothing more to say. Their own grandmother passed away, and the nephew didn’t even co to fulfill their filial duty. Such people can’t be relied on in the future.
The big uncle was so angry he almost kicked them out. If not for fear of Little Grandmother being uneasy underground, he would have done so long ago.
The big girl’s couple now also took over Aunt’s noodle shop; business was good. Without mother-in-law or mother ddling, the couple lived well with their children.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Dandan still followed the sa fate as before, graduating from high school, becoming an elentary school teacher. It’s easy to guess Zhang Dandan squeezed out a classmate’s spot.
Now married to probably the sa man from before. But later life wasn’t good, exactly what ending she really didn’t know.
"Guozhi doesn’t have much vacation, and Ah Hui in the governnt can’t take too long of a leave. Xiao Wan’s child is still at ho without care. We won’t attend Dandan’s wedding," Liang Hongi excused, and it was all true.
"It’s a pity, originally planned for you to see Dandan’s wedding." Liang Weixiang awkwardly laughed; she hinted so clearly, yet Liang Hongi pretended not to notice, even wouldn’t bring a wedding gift.
"There’s nothing to regret. We are secondary; as long as the couple lives well, it’s good."
....
Liang Weixiang, getting no advantage from Liang Hongi, left feeling sullen after matters here wrapped up, imdiately showing a displeased face as she left.
After Little Grandmother’s affair concluded, their family finally had a good night’s sleep.
Lin Wan felt she should tell Dad the truth about Ye Weijun’s death; after dinner at Uncle’s house, Lin Wan drew the parents into the living room.
"Dad, actually, that night, my brother and I were behind Ye Rong’s small room; we heard everything. The person who killed Ye Weijun wasn’t Qiu Hualan, but i Langchi."
"What?" Lin Guozhi was exceedingly surprised at this news.
"i Langchi killed him."
"Should be," Lin Yinghui recounted the events of that night to Lin Guozhi, "At that ti, Ye Rong was behind the small room, staring through the window, witnessing his father’s death, but never uttered a word."
Lin Yinghui saw through the seemingly honest Ye Rong, turns out he was the harshest among their family.
"By your account, i Langchi could claim self-defense, wouldn’t be sentenced," Lin Guozhi analyzed secretly for a mont.
"Yeah, so my brother and I didn’t say anything, pretended not to know." No sentence, yet they let her mother take the bla, which was also a cri.
"Thankfully you didn’t speak, no concrete evidence, no witness, even if Ye Rong saw, he might not tell the truth. If they insist and collectively claim it was her mother, not only are they fine, but they might also retaliate against you. It’d be disadvantageous."
"Still, this can’t just end like this," Lin Wan was sowhat unwilling.
"For this matter, he must admit it himself, or Ye Rong might say it soday. But even if Ye Rong speaks up later, people probably wouldn’t believe it."
After figuring it out, Lin Guozhi didn’t dwell on it.
"Knowing this, we might use it if they trouble Han Yi soday, but don’t say it unless necessary. To avoid backfiring."
"Understood, Dad."
The family stayed an extra day in their hotown, planning to drive back the next day. Just on that day, police officers ca looking for Lin Guozhi.
"What’s the matter?"
