Mountain Village Massacre, Train Murder Case Chapter 13: Husband and Daughter-in-law
Ever since Wu Jiu went out to work with Zhou Yongli, Wu Gai was the only one left in the Wu family in his hometown. His daughters got married one after another in those few years, and all of them were relatively young.
It's far away. Except for the Chinese New Year, I can come back once, but I don't have time to come back on weekdays.
That year, after Zhou Yongli took Liu Xiaocui and Wu Jiu took Li Hongmei back to their hometown, Wu Gai was very happy. The old man always said that the happiest thing in a person's life is naturally the family reunion.
With a family full of children and grandchildren, I was naturally happy to see my son bring a girlfriend back. Of course, at that time, Wu Gai was only a middle-aged man in his early fifties, not yet old.
For rural people, they are much older than people in cities. People in their fifties look like people in their sixties.
The reason why Zhou Yongli returns to his hometown every year to celebrate the New Year is mainly because his parents’ graves are here. Perhaps for this child who lost his parents since childhood, his home is where his parents’ graves are. Therefore,
He only comes back every year to celebrate the New Year, and during the years when Zhou Yongli went out to work, Wu Gai's family took care of Zhou Yongli's brick houses. When Wu Jiu didn't go out to work, Wu Jiu helped take care of it, and Wu Jiu helped take care of it.
After Jiu went out to work, it was Wu Gai who helped take care of it. Otherwise, the old house would have collapsed due to the wind, sun, rain and frost.
Of course, Wu Gai did this because he thought that Zhou Yongli had lost his parents since he was a child, and felt that this child was pitiful. For rural people, most rural people are still very kind, and Xu Lang used to live in the city.
It's different. In a community, in the same unit building, living on the same floor, you may not know who lives across the street, male or female. Secondly, your son works with Zhou Yongli to make money. To put it bluntly, it's...
Wu Jiu worked for Zhou Yongli. In order to let Zhou Yongli take care of his son, Wu Gai did nothing.
That year, Zhou Yongli and Liu Xiaocui spent the New Year at Wu Jiu's house. After the New Year, Zhou Yongli and his party left their hometown of Sanli Village again and continued to work and make money.
Maybe it’s because the power of love is great. Wu Jiu, who used to procrastinate and slack off in everything he did, started to work seriously to make money. From then on, Wu Jiu has been working with Zhou Yongli.
, moved from one construction site to another, while Liu Xiaocui and Li Hongmei were still working in the factory.
Two years later, at the beginning of another new year, they also received their wedding photos and became husband and wife. Zhou Yongli and his party went out to work again. As a result, less than two months after going out, Wu Jiu took Li Hongmei and Liu with him.
-Xiaocui returned to Sanli Village. The main reason why she came back was because Li Hongmei was pregnant. Li Hongmei and Liu Xiaocui quit their jobs in the factory and came to live here in Sanli Village.
.
After Wu Jiu sent the cousins to his hometown, because he had to make money to support the family, Wu Jiu didn't stay at home for long and continued to go out, leaving the cousins Li Hongmei and Wu Gai to live alone.
Liu Xiaocui came to Sanli Village firstly to take care of the pregnant Li Hongmei, and secondly because she wanted to give Zhou Yongli a home.
After Liu Xiaocui came to Sanli Village, she started farming like a rural woman, while Zhou Yongli and Wu Jiu worked outside to make money. The relationship between the two families was already good, but now, the relationship has deteriorated.
Better.
Everything was going well at first, but as time went by, Li Hongmei gave birth to a son to Wu Jiu. The son was two or three years old, and Liu Xiaocui's belly had not moved at all. There was a lack of entertainment activities in the countryside, so for
For rural people who are still relatively backward in thinking, after the couple has been married for so many years, the woman has not yet given birth to a son and a half, so gossip is inevitable. Zhou Yongli works outside all year round, so he doesn't think it is a big deal, and these gossips cannot be spread.
into his ears. However, Liu Xiaocui lives in a rural area. She has to face those people pointing fingers behind her every day, so she naturally feels uncomfortable. She has mentioned to Zhou Yongli many times that she must follow
Zhou Yongli went out to work. However, Zhou Yongli considered that the work he did was on a construction site where men were all working, so it was not convenient to bring a woman with him. Secondly, he did not want Liu Xiaocui to suffer with him, so he
Didn't agree.
Until four years ago, just over two months after the New Year, Zhou Yongli received the news that Liu Xiaocui was pregnant. He was so happy that he even came back from other places for this matter.
It was originally a good thing for his wife to be pregnant, but when Zhou Yongli returned to his hometown, he could always hear some strange words, saying that his wife and Wu Gai had an improper relationship between men and women. Zhou Yongli always felt that
He didn't take it seriously. Firstly, Wu Gai was already fifty-six or almost sixty years old at that time. Secondly, Zhou Yongli believed that Wu Gai and his daughter-in-law Liu Xiaocui knew that they were not that kind of people.
people.
However, when the child was born, Zhou Yongli discovered that the child looked nothing like himself, and he began to murmur in his heart. Could it be that the gossip he heard before was not groundless, but was true? Zhou Yongli still
I don’t quite believe this, but the seeds of doubt are still planted.
When Xu Lang heard this, he sighed and said, "I still don't study enough."
Indeed, when the child is just born, he is only a little older and his eyebrows are not even wide-open. How can you tell who the child looks like?
Zhou Yongli came back from other places many times during Liu Xiaocui's pregnancy. Especially after giving birth, Zhou Yongli turned down several projects to spend time with Liu Xiaocui and the child.
Before, Liu Xiaocui was not pregnant and gave birth.
When she was a child, those women always said behind her back that Liu Xiaocui was an old hen that couldn't lay eggs. Now that Liu Xiaocui is finally pregnant and has a son left, those gossips don't say that she is.
The hen that could not lay eggs said that the child was not Zhou Yongli's but Wu Gai's. This made Zhou Yongli's family very distressed and they couldn't figure out why this happened.
Zhou Yongli couldn't figure it out, but Xu Lang understood why. People are jealous animals, especially when they don't like others. Like in the past, Zhou Yongli lost his parents when he was a child and lived a miserable life. Those people didn't
He would gossip and would not slander him. Instead, he would help him and praise him as a good and sensible boy. Since Zhou Yongli made money outside, and he also made money with Wu Jiu, not only did he earn
Having money and marrying such a beautiful daughter-in-law, those who are not as good as Zhou Yongli will naturally be jealous and angry, thinking that a child who has no father and mother since he was a child can make money, why do their fathers make money?
What if they can't get the money? Robbery is illegal and will lead to jail time. They won't do it, but it's okay to talk a few sour gossips. As for Zhou Yongli and the others, what did they think in their hearts after hearing this?
, they don’t care.
When Wu Liang said this, he did not continue talking. Instead, he picked up the wine glass with a red face, took a big sip of wine, looked at Xu Lang with shining eyes, and asked: "Why do some people always hate others?"
Woolen cloth?"
Xu Lang also picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He looked at Wu Liang, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Humans are very complicated animals. They don't even know what they want sometimes."
Wu Liang nodded, thinking that Xu Lang was right.
"You've been talking for so long, but you still haven't said why Li Hongmei poisoned her husband. Nor did you say why Liu Xiaocui threw her own child to death?" Xu Lang said.
"Hey...it's hard to put it into words." Wu Liang took another sip of wine and sighed.
"Then speak slowly."
"Actually, those people who gossip and gossip behind their backs are not completely lying." Wu Liang took out the cigarette case, took out a cigarette and handed it to Xu Lang, lit one himself, and said while smoking.
"Oh? Is Liu Xiaocui really having an affair with Wu Gai? Do they have an improper relationship between men and women?" Xu Lang raised his eyebrows, paused slightly in lighting up his cigarette, raised his head, looked at Wu Liang and asked
.
Unexpectedly, Wu Liang shook his head and said: "It's not that Liu Xiaocui and Wu Gai had an affair, but that there was an affair between Li Hongmei and Wu Gai."
"Cough cough cough... My husband and his daughter-in-law are getting together? I'll choke him." Xu Lang was shocked by Wu Liang's words. His throat was choked by the cigarette and he started coughing violently.
