Li Huan went to the hospital first. He wanted to tell Ermao to go to Da Niu's house to help first. After all, Tang Wei had two older brothers. If the talks broke down, they would definitely suffer.
But when he arrived at the hospital and saw that both Wang Xiangyang and Damao had blue faces, he couldn't help feeling strange. Ermao's mouth was trembling and he couldn't speak. Wang Xiangyang sighed and said that Gao Xiaohui was dead, two lives were lost.
Li Huan was shocked. Wasn't it just a premature birth? His wife Cheng Qiao was pregnant with twins and gave birth prematurely, but she was able to hold on. Could it be that Gao Xiaohui was also giving birth to twins
A doctor came out and asked in a very serious tone who Gao Xiaohui's family members were. They had already reported the case to the police station and Gao Xiaohui was beaten to death.
Beaten to death, how? Li Huan didn't understand what the doctor said. The doctor sneered, a pregnant woman who was about to give birth, her belly was stepped on hard, and even bruises were left. Do you think the child can still survive
Also, it was such a cold day, and he was only wearing a thin cotton jacket, with blood flowing underneath, and no warming measures at all. Isn't this intentional murder
Wang Xiangyang squatted on the ground, grasping his hair with his fingers. He was just a temporary village chief, but something terrible happened in the village. Not only were houses set on fire, but people were killed intentionally. It was clear that he was not up to the task.
"Xiangyang, Uncle Chen is probably finished too."
Li Huan certainly understood Wang Xiangyang's current mood. Just like when Chai Jianmin drowned someone in the river a few years ago, the entire village was affected.
If it weren't for the ability of his wife, who not only led the villagers to escape the flood and eradicate the plague, but also developed two seasons of planting a year, Xiangyang Village would probably have been beaten into the mud.
"Brother Huan, what do you mean? What happened to my father?"
When Ermao heard Li Huan say that his father was also dead, he shouted anxiously.
"Your father sacrificed his own family for the sake of justice. When he saw Chen Damao was about to burn down Daniu's house, he shot Damao with my homemade rifle. Now Damao is dead, and your father has been arrested."
"Ah... Chen Damao, you and I cannot coexist."
Ermao was in a hurry to rush out but was caught by Li Huan. Now go to Da Niu's house quickly, if a fight breaks out, you can still stop them.
Ermao was confused again. Why did a fight start at his eldest sister's house? But when he saw that Li Huan looked a little anxious, he didn't ask. He would find out when he arrived at Da Niu's house.
The doctor was stunned. From what the man said, it seemed that something big had happened in Gao Xiaohui's family. Something like the house was going to be set on fire or someone had died. It was too terrifying.
"Can you... can you sign it?"
When someone dies, family members have to sign, but Wang Xiangyang and Li Huan are not Gao Xiaohui's family members. Ermao seemed to have some connection just now, but he is not a direct family member either.
"Gao Xiaohui's husband is dead, and we don't know where her family is. We need to check. Her father-in-law has also been arrested. I don't know if my parents-in-law can sign."
"Yes, have someone come over to sign as soon as possible. If that doesn't work, the leaders of your village can also sign."
Li Huan sighed. He is still the village chief of Xiangyang Village. Although he has reported it and delegated his power, the position is still there. He can only pick up the pen and sign his name.
"Li Huan, so you are the village chief of Xiangyang Village."
The doctor's attitude suddenly improved. He remembered that the village chief's wife was called Cheng Qiao and had helped them a lot.
Li Huan smiled bitterly. He would rather not be the village chief. It was so annoying. His house was burned beyond recognition and it seemed that he would not be able to find anyone to compensate him.
Finally, the two went to Chen Danniu's house and saw Chen Danniu taking two sleepy children out of the house, with Ermao and Tang Wei following behind with big bags.
"Huanzi, you came just in time. Help me get the things so I don't have to run again."
When Tang Wei saw Li Huan and Wang Xiangyang, a smile appeared on his face. After so many years of marriage, they had acquired a lot of belongings. It was impossible for him and Ermao to take so much.
Li Huan smiled bitterly again. He and Wang Xiangyang came to do hard labor on their own initiative, but what could they do? Chen Weidang had been arrested and there was no telling how the verdict would be.
Cuihua was feeling anxious the whole night. She tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, which woke up Chen Xiaoniu who was beside her. Chen Xiaoniu was sensible and decided not to sleep either. She went to the kitchen to boil some water and made Cuihua a cup of brown sugar water.
After drinking the sweet brown sugar water, Cuihua calmed down a little. However, what was coming still came. She heard familiar footsteps and hurriedly ran out of the yard and opened the door.
When I saw Ermao, his daughter and son-in-law, Li Huan, and Wang Xiangyang standing at the door with lots of bags, I couldn't help but feel strange:
"Ermao, where's your father?"
"Dad..."
Ermao didn't dare to speak, and glanced at Li Huan, who quickly shook his head:
"Aunt, let's go in and talk."
Cuihua's heart kept sinking. She didn't even have time to close the door before she pulled the person into the main room. Li Huan put down the big package on his body and sighed:
"Auntie, don't be anxious, and don't get excited. You have to hold on."
"Huanzi, tell me quickly, you are going to make your aunt die of anxiety."
"Uncle Chen was arrested by the Public Security Bureau."
"They arrested me. Why did the police arrest my man? What crime did he commit?"
"kill"
"Murder, who did you kill?"
Cuihua suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Huan with great panic. She knew that her man must have killed Gao Xiaohui. It was all this bitch's fault, otherwise her hair would be fine.
"Gao Xiaohui is dead, what about the baby in her belly?"
"How do you know Gao Xiaohui is dead?"
"You didn't say that, Uncle Chen..."
Cuihua is very smart. After all, she has been the village chief's wife for so many years and has seen a lot of things. At this time, she completely realized that her man had killed her son.
Cuihua sat down, and all the energy seemed to be drained away from her body. She suddenly didn't know what was the point of working hard all her life, and why in the end her family was broken up.
Chen Xiaoniu was frightened. She hugged Cuihua's neck and kept calling her mother. Cuihua was finally awakened by Chen Xiaoniu's screams. She looked at Li Huan with an extremely determined look.
"Huanzi, tell me the whole story, I can handle it."
Li Huan nodded, and when he told them in detail what he had seen and heard, anger and helplessness appeared in the eyes of Da Niu, Er Mao and Xiao Niu.
"Big girl, now that you're back, stay home and clean up Damao's room. Light some candles and incense to get rid of the bad luck before you move in."
The big girl nodded with tears in her eyes. At this time, she already regretted her impulsiveness and her ruthlessness. It was she who made the family a mess, but her mother had not blamed her yet.
"Mom, I was wrong, please forgive me."
The big girl knelt in front of Cuihua with a plop.
"Silly child, get up quickly. This is the fate of our Chen family. It is inevitable. Girl, go to the kitchen and make some delicious food. I want to bring it to your father."
