Sure enough, Wu Xiufen has a younger sister named Wu Xiufang. The photo on the bedside must be Wu Xiufang's photo. There has always been such a custom in Wanghu Village, people who died in vain must burn black paper to receive it. Wu Xiufen and Wu Xiufang are from Wanghu Village, they are people who believe in this set of things, so Wu Xiufen burned the black paper for her sister.
The villager saw the head of a female ghost crying at the tombstone before, so who is this female ghost
At this time, Xiao Liu continued to say to me: "The Wu family has three children, Wu Jianguo, Wu Xiufen and Wu Xiufang. These three children have been in the factory since they were very young. When they grow up, they will naturally inherit father's handicraft. The man is responsible for firing, and the woman is responsible for glazing."
I asked, "And then?"
Xiao Liu said: "Later, the three of them got married one after another, but the whole family continued to work in the Moulin Rouge factory after marriage. After all, the factory was still very profitable at that time. Later, Lao Wu's health was not as good as the day after day, so the factory naturally It has to be passed on to the next generation, but the thoughts of the older generation are naturally passed on from male to female."
I frowned, pulled my hair with my hands, and said, "You won't tell me that Wu Xiufang committed suicide because of this?"
Xiao Liu hummed and said, "Really. According to Wu Jianguo, his father's health was getting worse day by day, so he called a few people to the bedside and talked about the Moulin Rouge factory. The Moulin Rouge factory, right? Naturally, it should be passed on to the son, the thinking of the older generation is like this, and the whole village has this custom."
"I know."
Of course I know this. Just a few decades ago, son preference was common in rural areas, and it was normal for sons to inherit the mantle of their fathers. Daughters are called married daughters. The water poured out belongs to other people's families. But fortunately, this kind of thinking is rare now.
Xiao Liu sighed, and said: "The old man handed over the factory to his son Wu Jianguo while he was still awake, and then gave his two daughters several thousand yuan each. Think about it, four Thousands of dollars from more than ten years ago were quite valuable, and although most of them were with his son, the villagers also said that this old Wu had done his best to his daughter."
"Suicide because of uneven distribution?" I often encounter this kind of routine in real life, so that many people doubt whether their brothers and sisters are their relatives or their enemies.
"It's a clichéd story." Xiao Liu said, "But that's what Wu Jianguo said. At that time, Wu Xiufen was acceptable, but Wu Xiufang quit. Wu Xiufang said that the money given to her was too little, and she asked her father to give it to her. The factory is sold to others, and the money from the sale is divided equally among three."
Such a division is fair. From this point of view, there is nothing wrong with Wu Xiufang.
"That's understandable," I said.
"Yes." Xiao Liu clicked his tongue and said, "If you look at it from the perspective of people today, Wu Xiufang's approach is very correct. But if you look at it from the perspective of people in the previous life, you married A daughter who dares to compete with her elder brother for the family property is really unfilial and righteous."
After a pause, Xiao Liu said: "So, it's a stalemate. At this time, because of the family property, the factory has no intention to operate, and the workers have left. After all, the factory is the old father's life. I really didn’t want to give it away, so I said I’d give Wu Xiufang 10,000 yuan, but there were very few households with 10,000 yuan back then, but Wu Xiufang didn’t agree.”
"Finally one day." Xiao Liu's voice was a bit vicissitudes: "Wu Xiufang committed suicide in order to fight for the family property, and quarreled with her brothers and sisters. It was difficult to sustain a good factory, and the three good sisters and brothers became It's like a stranger. When Wu Xiufang was hanging herself to commit suicide, suddenly the old man in the house died, so Wu Jianguo and Wu Xiufen hurried to the house to see."
"The two of them were the ones who strangled my father, and they rushed to give them injections, but it didn't help. It is said that when they died, the old man scolded them angrily, calling them nothing." Xiao Liu spoke very slowly: " They all knew that the father was overwhelmed by the anger of the three people and died. When the two came out, they saw Wu Xiufang also hanged to death."
I hurriedly asked, "Did you die like this?"
Xiao Liu continued: "I didn't just die like this. When Wu Xiufang committed suicide, her brothers and sisters were all watching the old man in the house. Wu Xiufang might not want to commit suicide, but just pretended to scare her father. I didn't expect that my feet would slip for a while. , I really hung myself in the air."
Xiao Liu sighed, and said, "You know, people are suspended in the air, and the rope compresses the trachea and throat, making it difficult to make a sound. Besides, Wu Jianguo and Wu Xiufen were all focused on their father, and no one thought of Wu Xiufang He just died like this. Now, both of them are dead, so there is nothing to argue about. The factory was finally left to Wu Jianguo, and Wu Xiufen left with 30,000 yuan, and the siblings never saw each other again. Yes. I heard that Wu Xiufen left her husband and children behind, and went somewhere alone."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh. I didn't expect the closure of Moulin Rouge to be accompanied by such a tragic story.
"After Wu Xiufang's death, Wu Xiufen and Wu Jianguo realized that Wu Xiufang and her husband had a child long ago, but the child was born with a deformity, so they never dared to bring their son out. So even they, they never Knowing that Wu Xiufang has another son, Wu Xiufang was already five years old when she died."
"You have a deformed son?" I said, "From this point of view, there are many kinds of deformities. What kind of deformity is it?"
Xiao Liu said: "Wu Jianguo said that he only took a look at Wu Xiufang's son from a distance when she was buried. It was just that one look, but I couldn't see anything clearly. I never saw it again after that, and I don't know what the deformity is. Wu Jianguo He said later that he and his younger sister Wu Xiufen regretted it very much, because when sorting out Wu Xiufang's belongings, they found that the reason why Wu Xiufang asked for a large sum of money was actually to use the money to treat her child's deformity."
When talking about this, Xiao Liu's tone was full of regret: "Wu Xiufang has been very stubborn since she was a child, and she never showed her weak side to others. It may be because of this character that Wu Xiufang refused to let herself The five-year-old child is going out, so he is unwilling to tell the truth of the matter, otherwise, I would like to be a father, a brother and a sister, how could I give the money to Wu Xiufang."
After listening to this story, I don't know what kind of feeling it is like. But I always feel that there is something weird, but I can't figure out what is wrong.
"Their mother died early, and now their father and younger sister are also dead." Xiao Liu went on to say, "None of them is in the mood to run the factory anymore. Moreover, this scandal was also spread in Wanghu Village. They all moved away from Wanghu Village, and have never seen each other again. But speaking of it, Wu Jianguo said that he really wanted to see his sister, and wanted to talk to his sister."
Xiao Liu's voice was flat: "Wu Jianguo's health is not good enough, so if he can meet his relatives, he can die safely."
I said, "It's okay to meet, but I'm afraid I won't have the chance to talk. Just a few hours ago, Wu Xiufen was killed by the murderer."
"Wu Xiufen was killed by the murderer?" Xiao Liu asked in surprise.
I said: "That's right. By the way, did you ask about the story of Wu Jianguo's twelve bowls? You learned about the twelve zodiac bowls from Wu Xiufen, so you concluded that the murderer wanted to kill Wu Jianguo's family of three, because they The Chinese zodiac corresponds to the rooster, dog and pig respectively."
Xiao Liu was silent for a short moment, and then said: "You have discovered this, and I did make a judgment based on this. Naturally, I asked about this matter, and Wu Jianguo said that the last batch of bowls belonged to Wu Xiufen. Made for Wu Xiufang. Wu Xiufen didn't know how old Wu Xiufang's children were, and thought she had no children, so she made a set of bowls like this, and gave them to Wu Xiufang's future children."
"I heard that Wu Xiufang liked these twelve bowls very much." Xiao Liu continued: "It's just that after Wu Xiufang died, her husband left without taking anything and took the children. Later, the factory stopped operating, and the twelve bowls The first bowl was given away together with the rest of the bowls in the factory, but it is not clear who it was given to.”
A thought suddenly appeared in my mind, perhaps, the murderer didn't throw away the bowls every time he killed a person, but he wanted to kill the people who owned these zodiac bowls and take them back one by one. Sister Mary said that someone bought these bowls online, but did not know the information of the person who received the bowls.
And the murderer has superb computer skills, so the person who released this information is likely to be the murderer! And these people may all be the ones who once sold the bowl to the murderer at a high price. So these people were all killed by the murderer.
Freaks, mother's favorite bowl of the zodiac, everything may be connected into a whole.
I said, "Xiao Liu, I don't know if Wu Xiufen told you that she was married to this Xingdong Village. And the person she married obviously won't live for a long time. Maybe it's not because Wu Xiufen loves him, but because Wu Xiufen is already married in Wanghu Village, and she must find a husband who will not live long, so that she has the status to live here."
Xiao Liu said: "That's right! But what's the matter? This happened many years ago. Wu Xiufen's husband and son may have long thought that Wu Xiufen was dead."
"Find out Wu Xiufen's husband and son!" I said, "Wu Xiufen lied to the two of us, and what Wu Jianguo said may not be so credible. Find... also, Wu Xiufang's husband and son, Also…”
At this time, another call came into my mobile phone, it was from Sister Mary.
I asked Xiao Liu to go to work, and then connected to Miss Mary's call.
"A fourth story emerges."
