Sun Siliang couldn't find any new clues, so the case could only be shelved. New cases happened every day, and it was impossible to spend time and energy on it all the time.
But he was still a little unwilling, so he simply took his wallet and went to Lijiacun again.
Today happened to be the day Zhu Hongping was buried. Apart from the Li family, the Ling family, and the team that paid to carry the coffin, there were only a few mourning guests, and they could be counted on two hands.
At 11 o'clock at noon, amid the loud sound of firecrackers and cries, the funeral was completed.
After Li Li had removed her hair and paid filial piety, Sun Siliang took her aside and asked her.
"We asked Yunyao about it. According to her, this wallet was stolen by your mother. Do you know this?"
Seeing the wallet, Li Li categorically denied it, "She lied. We came to borrow money. After we borrowed the money, we left. We didn't steal her wallet at all."
"But as far as we know, your mother has a habit of petty theft. Is it possible that she stole the wallet but didn't tell you?"
Li Li was speechless.
Zhu Hongping does have the habit of picking things up and taking them. He is used to being poor and uneducated. He wants to take any good things he sees to his home. Even Li Zhijie was affected by Zhu Hongping and ended up where he is today.
Unfortunately, Zhu Hongping really stole Yunyao's wallet while she wasn't paying attention.
Two days later.
Yun Mo received the news that the police characterized the case as robbery, wounding and death. Therefore, Yun Yao's suspicion was ruled out.
This result, I have to say, is a bit regrettable, but it is also expected.
It was not that Yun Mo had never thought of asking Xu Gang to testify against Yun Yao. Unfortunately, the alley was too dark at the time, and Xu Gang was far away. He did not see Yun Yao attack Zhu Hongping, and did not know what the murder weapon she used was.
At this point, Zhu Hongping's death has just ended.
Before leaving Jiang City for the provincial capital, Yunyao specially cooked two cans of strawberry jam and brought them to the hospital for Yun Huan.
"By the time you finish eating these, I'll be on winter vacation, so I'll help you out then."
The long period of chemotherapy left Yun Huan with a very poor appetite and she often couldn't eat. The strawberry jam was sour and sweet, which suited her appetite. She immediately asked Yunyao to give her a spoonful to taste.
"It's so sweet, but not cloying. What did you put in it?"
"It's wild local honey. I asked someone to buy it from the countryside. It has high nutritional value and a mellow taste."
Yun Huan couldn't hold it back and took another big bite.
Yunyao smiled and closed the jar of strawberry jam, "Okay, don't be greedy. You can only eat two spoons a day. The sugar intake is too high and it is not good for your condition. I will tell my mother and let her take care of it."
Hold your mouth."
Yun Huan snorted, "You are so long-winded."
After staying in the ward for a while, seeing that it was almost time to leave, Yun Yao looked at Yun Huan on the bed with a gloomy look, "Xiao Huan, goodbye."
Yun Huan waved her hand indifferently, "You can go, I'm asleep."
There was a smile on Yun Yao's face, but there were some complex and difficult emotions hidden in that smile.
"Xiao Huan, I suddenly feel a little reluctant to leave you."
Yun Huan did not understand the deeper meaning and thought that Yun Yao felt uncomfortable because she went to the provincial capital alone.
"Sister, when I get better, I'll go see you. I haven't been to the provincial capital yet. I heard it's much more prosperous and lively than Jiang City."
"It's okay, I will look at it for you and let you know then."
Before parting, the two had a rare deep friendship as sisters.
—
Yun Yao's trip to the provincial capital soon reached the ears of Yun Mo and Zeng Fang.
At that time, Zeng Fang was in the courtyard watching ten little goslings hatched.
"She ran very fast, and I didn't even have time to settle the score with her!"
Seeing Zeng Fang's anger, Yun Mo chuckled, "Are you sure she ran away instead of throwing herself into a trap?"
Zeng Fang was stunned for a moment, then realized what she was doing and couldn't help but clasp her hands together, "Yes, my cousin and the others are not vegetarians. Huh, she's just waiting for bad luck."
"Move gently and scare them all."
Zeng Fang looked down and found that the goslings that were playing in the incubator had stopped moving and were all looking at her motionless.
Zeng Fang quickly lowered her voice, "I'm sorry, I scared you. I'll keep my voice down."
"Choo Choo Choo."
After the little goslings quickly resumed their frolics and play, Zeng Fang suddenly asked Yun Mo in a low voice, "Momo, how many goslings are you going to give me to raise?"
Yun Mo pursed her lips at Erbai, who was staring at the two of them. "You go and ask her. As long as she is willing, I have no objection to you taking them all away."
Zeng Fang immediately ran to Erbai and said, "Erbai Erbai, give me two of your goslings to raise. I promise to treat them well."
Erbai didn't say a word. He tilted his neck and used his beak to tidy up the feathers on his wings, looking extremely arrogant.
Zeng Fang laid out the conditions, "How about ten pounds of shrimps, ten pounds of dried small fish, and ten pounds of rye grass?"
As if he didn't hear it, Erbai tilted his head and continued to preen the feathers on the other wing.
"Twenty kilograms! Twenty kilograms of each, plus twenty kilograms of fresh green vegetable leaves."
Erbai turned his head and said, "Quack."
make a deal.
Zeng Fang happily hugged Erbai's body, "Erbai, you are so kind!"
Erbai called out twice in disgust, but did not struggle.
Zeng Fang quickly selected two goslings, a male and a female.
However, the goslings were still small, and Zeng Fang was afraid that she would not be able to feed them, so she marked them and kept them with Yun Mo, and would take them back when they were older.
During dinner in the evening, seeing that Ling Chuan seemed to be worried, Yun Mo casually asked about the situation of Ling Jiang's family.
Lingchuan sighed, "Momo, my eldest sister-in-law is clamoring for a divorce. She despises her eldest brother as a evil star and believes that Aunt Hongping's death was prevented by him. In the name of keeping filial piety, she lives with Jia Le in the countryside and refuses to come back.
.”
After planning for so long, Li Li finally took the bait and filed for divorce, which Yun Mo was naturally happy to hear.
"What did eldest brother say?"
"The eldest brother didn't agree. My mother-in-law just died. If you want to get divorced at this juncture, outsiders will definitely gossip, and the conditions imposed by the sister-in-law are also very harsh. She wants to take away Jia Le, and she also needs the eldest brother to transfer the house to Jia Le. Otherwise, she will have to
The eldest brother gave Jiale money to build a new house in the countryside."
Yun Mo was not too surprised by the conditions proposed by Li Li.
With Li Li's greed and shamelessness, she wouldn't find it strange even if he asked for her courtyard house.
"Please tell me not to agree to the Li family's request first. There is something I need to verify."
"What's up?"
"Do you think Chunhua and Jia Le are like siblings?"
Seeing the confusion on the man's face, Yun Mo continued: "Both are children raised by my sister-in-law. Chunhua is kind and sensible. Her personality is exactly the same as that of her elder brother. But Ling Jiale, no matter in appearance or personality, is not like his elder brother at all."
, not even like the children of the Ling family."
Even if Lingchuan is a fool, he can understand the meaning of Yun Mo's words.
His stern face was filled with solemnity, "Momo, I know you don't like Jia Le, but this is related to my sister-in-law's reputation and my brother's dignity. You can't talk nonsense."
