Volume 1: Reborn in the 1980s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 153 He's not a murderer, is he?
When Grandma Hu and her family were preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in their new house, they had no idea that a few hours later, a horrific murder case would occur in Houzhai Village, next door to Yangshuling Village.
Hu Sigu's youngest son Erbing broke into the house of a young widow in the village in the dark and stabbed the young widow and the production team leader to death!
etc!
How could the production team leader of Houzhai Village be at the young widow's house on New Year's Eve?
They know how to do this question~
The gossips in the village immediately became excited and vied with each other to tell others the gossip they had heard.
Some people said that the production team leader of Houzhai Village had been having an affair with the young widow a long time ago.
Some people say that these two guys are very brave. They have been seen sneaking around in corn fields, haystacks, cow sheds, and even the shacks by the river where people who used to raise ducks lived.
Some people also said that Hu Sigu's son wanted to marry the young widow, but the production team leader refused to let him go. It must be that Erbing went to the young widow to show her warmth on New Year's Eve, but he unexpectedly discovered the production team leader was also hanging around in the young widow's house.
When rivals meet, they become jealous of each other and start fighting. Isn't it normal?
It's just a pity for the young widow. After all, having an improper lifestyle is not a capital crime, but she didn't expect that she would be in trouble because of several people.
It was Chinese New Year's Day, and villagers from several nearby villages had just finished their New Year's Eve dinner and were looking for something to do. When they heard that there were big melons to eat, some families panicked and didn't even make dumplings. Instead, they put on rubber shoes, picked up flashlights, and ran to Houzhai Village.
The melon-eating crowd who lived nearby had already taken the first bite of the fresh melon and were crowding outside the young widow's house, chattering.
Those who lived far away rushed to Houzhai Village breathlessly, only to hear a series of shrill sirens.
Hu Sigu and her husband, their faces covered with snot and tears, staggered after the police car for a while, but when they failed to catch up, their legs went weak and they fell on the icy snow, bursting into tears.
A cordon had been set up in front of the young widow's house. The onlookers stretched their heads and tried to look inside through the cracks in the door and from the top of the wall, only regretting that they arrived too late and were unable to get in.
I heard from people in this village that Hu Sigu's youngest son was very cruel!
The production team leader was stabbed all over his body with blood and holes, and his intestines were all over the floor!
And that young widow, I heard that she didn't even have time to put on her long underwear when she died. She was dragged off the bed by Hu Sigu's youngest son, who stabbed her twice, almost cutting her neck off. The blood was splattered everywhere, on the walls, on the floor, and on the bed.
Several villagers who had daughters and had almost met Hu Sigu's family before were so scared that their faces turned pale.
Fortunately, their daughter didn't fall in love with Erbing, otherwise after they got married, if Erbing, the son-in-law, was not satisfied with them one day, he would get the whole family drunk during the New Year and then stab them a few times... wouldn't their family be wiped out?
The crowd of spectators, from their initial excitement to their current fear and trepidation, gradually changed their expressions when looking at Hu Sigu and her husband...
By the way, Fourth Aunt Hu wanted to find a husband for the little girl of Hu Fengnian (Grandpa Hu) before?
What a sin! This kind of person, whose own son has become a murderer, what kind of good partner can he introduce to Hu Qiongfang?
Isn't he also a murderer?
…
During the Chinese New Year, Grandpa Hu and Grandma Hu received condolences from several relatives, who reminded them in every word not to listen to Fourth Aunt Hu's lies. Her son had killed someone, so how good could the person she introduced to Qiongfang be?
Jiang Tian was stunned listening nearby.
She now feels that maybe her mother is God’s biological daughter?
Someone had just plotted against her, and before she could do anything, she suffered retribution. This...
On the sixth day of the New Year, Jiang Tian went to the He family to pay New Year's greetings, but unexpectedly, Grandma He had also heard about this matter.
The granddaughter's mother was almost plotted against. Of course, the old lady was unhappy. However, thinking that Hu Qiongfang had to run a business and raise two children, it was indeed hard. Grandma He thought about it and couldn't help but remind her granddaughter -
"Tiantian, tell me the truth, do you want your mom to find you a stepfather?"
It’s not that Old Lady He likes to think the worst of people. Whether Hu Qiongfang finds a new employer is her freedom and no one can interfere.
But Jiang Tian is already a grown-up girl. If Hu Qiongfang really wants to find a man to marry again, one is her stepfather who is in the prime of her life and has no blood relationship with her, and the other is her young daughter who is as young as a water plantain and is about to bloom... Unless Mrs. He's brain is hit by hailstones as big as bowls, she will not feel at ease letting her eldest granddaughter live with her stepfather!
Anyway, Old Mrs. He had made up her mind that if Hu Qiongfang remarried, she would take her granddaughter back and have her live with them, even if it meant making Jiang Tian unhappy.
Although they cannot give Jiang Tian a better life, they can at least ensure that Jiang Tian is not bullied.
Jiang Tian blinked her eyes, and looking at Grandma He's shrewd eyes with a hint of concern, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, and whispered what was in her heart.
"Grandma, please don't call me heartless when I tell you the truth."
"I know my mom is still young, and finding another one will make everyone think it's normal."
"But, you've also seen that in the year since my dad passed away, all the people who wanted to introduce me to mom were rotten fish and shrimps."
"Why can't a woman live a quiet life alone without a man?"
"Everyone says that finding a man can help my mom share the burden of raising children, but the problem is that my mom now runs her own restaurant. The money she earns a year is enough to support me and my brother, and even two more children."
"I'm not against my mother remarrying. I'm just afraid that she'll find an unreliable man and her second marriage won't be as comfortable as it is now..."
Although she didn't have much contact with Grandma He, Jiang Tian felt that Grandma He would definitely understand what she said.
After hearing what Jiang Tian said, Old Mrs. He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed.
She was right. Although Jiang Tian was the biological daughter of the man surnamed Jiang, her temper and brains were clearly more like those of the He family!
Yes, with Hu Qiongfang's current financial situation, she can support her two children by herself. Why should she humble herself and marry a random man just to have a man to help her with work?
If they really wanted to find someone to help work in the store, thirty yuan a month, there would be many strong men in the village who would rush to work for Hu Qiongfang.
To put it bluntly, thirty yuan a month may not be enough to support a man. If the husband's family is difficult to deal with, you have to spend time and money to deal with the whole family.
After finding out what her granddaughter was really thinking, Grandma He asked Jiang Tian not to say those words to her mother.
She planned to be the bad guy herself and have a good talk with Hu Qiongfang and the two heads of the Hu family.
