This was the twenty-third day since Xu Aiyong was released from prison. He quietly got up in the middle of the night and went to the kitchen.

Xu Guifen always kept this number in mind. After Xu Aiyong came back, he took care of all the housework and cooking at home. During this period, the Xu family never ran out of meat and vegetables. Xu Er's originally malnourished face was fattened up by him.

This afternoon, Xu Aiyong sneakily brought back a black bag from outside the yard. Xu Aifen, who had sharp eyes, saw it.

He hid the bag in the kitchen.

While he was chopping firewood, Xu Guifen slipped into the kitchen and took a look at the bag. Inside the bag was a large piece of red meat that was still bleeding. It was probably freshly slaughtered, and there was fresh muscle twitching and jumping. It looked disgusting and scary.

Now, it was already past midnight, and Xu Aiyong secretly got up again, went to the kitchen to sharpen the knife, and cut the meat.

During this time, his knife became sharper and sharper, and the pieces of meat he cut became larger and larger, becoming more and more like... humans.

Xu Guifen was trembling with fear in her quilt, which was damp after being wrapped in it for so long.

She knew that Xu Aiyong must have discovered it.

In fact, he could have retracted his confession in the "hooligan case" back then.

Xu Guifen knelt at the door of Yingzi's house for many days, and pestered her so much that she could not go out to work. Yingzi finally changed her story and admitted that Xu Aiyong touched her private parts in order to save her.

Xu Aiyong usually has a good reputation in the village and is very popular in the fireworks factory. Everyone is willing to testify for him and say that he is an upright person.

Xu Aiyong almost got out of jail.

At this time, Xiaoping found her.

"Do you want to stay like this forever?"

Xu Guifen was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what Xiaoping meant.

So Xiaoping patiently explained: "Xu Aiyong is very popular in the fireworks factory and is also a well-known excellent employee. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be promoted to team leader this year, and his salary will increase by ten yuan. The fireworks factory is not only Liu Yingzi, but there are many, many unmarried girls who really want to be friends with him. If he is acquitted and continues to return to the fireworks factory... You know, he will not only be an excellent employee, but also a hero who bravely does what is right. Are you willing to stay like this?"

Xu Guifen's face turned pale. Her dry lips opened and closed several times, but she couldn't utter a word.

Xiaoping smiled and advised her slowly: "But - if he goes to jail for 'hooliganism', everything will be different when he comes out. He has a criminal record, and it's such a dirty crime. He will be despised and looked down upon... The fireworks factory will fire him, and the girls will avoid him."

Xu Guifen clenched her cloth bag tightly - she spent three dollars to have someone make it so that she would not be looked down upon by city people after moving to the city. But when she arrived in Xinxing City, she found that even though she had spent so much money, she was still a rustic country woman.

Is she worthy of the excellent Xu Aiyong?

"Do you want to?"

She doesn't want to.

She didn't want to live in fear every day, thinking that her husband might abandon her one day and marry another beautiful woman.

So she overturned her confession and sent him to jail herself.

Now, she was sure that Xu Aiyong must have known about it.

“Crackle—Crackle—”

Xu Guifen hasn't had a good night's sleep for twenty-three days.

……

"I want to talk to you."

Looking at Xu Aiyong's smiling face and the table of food he brought, Xu Guifen suppressed her fear and anger and spoke to him coldly.

Xu Aiyong was stunned for a moment, looked at Xu Er, stuffed a piece of fatty meat into his mouth, and told him to go outside to fill his stomach.

"What's wrong, Guifen?" Xu Aiyong was a little reserved. Ever since he was released from prison, he has been in this timid state.

He felt that he was a sinner, and it was a great thing that Guifen was still willing to live with him.

If it weren't for his recent strange behavior, Xu Guifen would have been fooled by his superb acting skills.

However, she now knows that this man who just got out of prison has long harbored murderous intentions towards her.

"I'm sorry." Xu Guifen decided to give in first.

Xu Aiyong was stunned, a little flustered and confused: "How have you ever been sorry for me?"

"You are an upright person, and it is me who has made you feel guilty for half your life."

Xu Aiyong pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "It's been so long since the incident happened. There's no need for you to mention it again. No one knows about it."

"Why didn't you tell him? I accidentally told my father about his parents' plan to escape while we were having dinner."

Zhang Chunliang, who was watching their conversation, suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Xu Guifen in surprise.

——It turns out that it was Xu Guifen who caused the tragic death of Xiaoping’s parents!

"There's no need, and I was the one who told you that my uncle and aunt were leaving. In the final analysis, I am the sinner." Xu Aiyong murmured with a painful expression.

As if he was lost in some memories, he suddenly woke up, looked at Xu Guifen, and asked in confusion: "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden? Xiaoping knows nothing, don't let it slip."

He knows everything! And he wants to kill you because of it!

Xu Guifen felt a chill in her heart. If Xu Aiyong knew that all the punishments he had suffered were revenges because she had let the cat out of the bag, Xu Aiyong might turn hostile to her on the spot and kill her directly.

No, she doesn't want to die.

"Gui Fen, let's eat." Xu Aiyong's expression was very calm. He handed her a pair of chopsticks and said, "I want to tell you something in a few days."

There was no fluctuation in Xu Aiyong's tone, but it made Xu Guifen tremble violently all over.

Xu Er finished eating the fatty meat cake by squatting at the door. When he saw Xu Aiyong calling him to go back, he immediately ran into the house.

He stared at the bowl of stew for a long time.

Xu Aiyong gave Xu Guifen a piece of red meat covered with sticky soup. It tasted delicious, but Xu Guifen broke out in cold sweat and felt like vomiting unconsciously.

In the following days, Xu Aiyong no longer brought raw meat home.

Xu Guifen rarely had a good sleep with her eyes closed.

It was not until that night that Xu Guifen was awakened by the sound of a struggle.

She suddenly opened her eyes and found the bedding beside her was cold. Xu Aiyong had gone out again.

Her whole body stiffened and she put on her shoes tremblingly and tiptoed to peek into the kitchen.

Xu Aiyong was very excited today, and his expression was eager. Xu Guifen was still wondering what was wrong with him. In the evening, he brought back a huge living creature.

It was a pig that was very similar in size to a human.

Xu Aiyong was very strong, but he almost couldn't control it.

Xu Guifen had never seen such a gentle man show such a ferocious and excited expression. The excited murderous intent in his eyes made Xu Guifen feel cold at the back of her head.

Before he went to jail, he couldn't even kill a chicken properly.

Xu Aiyong finally subdued the fat pig. He stood there for a long time before he took out the kitchen knife as if he had made up his mind.

Xu Guifen watched him cut the pig's neck with a knife, one slice at a time, and drain the blood from its body. The huge corpse lay coldly in the yard, and the deathly aura could be felt even through the night.

“Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha…” Xu Aiyong laughed heartily, “I finally did it.”

The noise he made when he slaughtered the pig was too loud, and he did not restrain his violent movements at all, which seemed particularly abnormal compared to his previous behavior of tiptoeing around for fear of being discovered.

Xu Aiyong learned the technique of dismembering corpses from somewhere. He happily cut the pig into pieces of different sizes, then returned to the room with a bloody smell.

"Guifen, are you awake?" Xu Aiyong looked at Xu Guifen for a long while before asking tentatively.

Xu Guifen clutched the quilt tightly and did not say a word. Her eyes were almost bulging out of their sockets, and she felt filled with unspeakable fear and resentment.

She had done so much for this man. She lived in fear all day long and became a jealous woman who was despised by others. She even raised a boy by herself during the years when he was away.

But now, this man wants to kill her.

"It's okay, I'll tell you when you wake up." Xu Aiyong said to himself, then slowly lay down on the bed.

However, he did not wait until Xu Guifen woke up.

That night, Xu Guifen picked up the knife he used to kill pigs and cut his neck, piece by piece.

Just like he did with the pigs.

Xu Guifen sat on the bed and stared at Xu Aiyong's body for a long time. The blood soaked the entire wooden bed.

I don't know how long it was before there was a knock on the gate.

Xu Guifen changed her clothes and slowly opened the gate like a pale ghost.

Outside the house was a burly man with a thick face full of flesh and a smile on his face, but he was very kind.

"Is Xu Aiyong here?"

"He went out early in the morning." Xu Guifen heard her own calm voice say this.

"This guy said he would wait for me today." The man frowned, somewhat dissatisfied, "Did he process the meat?"

Xu Guifen stared at him, her voice small and weak: "It's done - he cut it all night."

The man was somewhat happy, so he pushed him aside and walked into the yard. In the middle of the yard were neatly stacked pieces of meat, cooled with ice water, and looked very fresh.

"Wow, this kid's knife skills have improved a lot." The man scratched his head and turned to Xu Guifen, "Then when he comes back, tell him that our butcher shop has decided to buy his meat. We will deliver it every three days, and the salary will be the same as the price we agreed on last time!"

Xu Guifen stood stiffly in the yard. Under the man's strange gaze, she suddenly couldn't support her body and sat on the ground, bursting into tears.

"You don't have to be so happy... It's okay, we don't dislike him, Xu Aiyong is a good man." The man comforted him, "Let me make it clear first, if the meat is not cut well, we will deduct money. We will pay for the live pig, and you are responsible for delivering it."

Xu Guifen couldn't stop crying. She cried madly all day long. Many neighbors passed by her house, curiously talking about what had happened to this family.

Xu Guifen cried until the early morning, and her eyes began to bleed. Then she staggered back to the bedroom, half crawling and half kneeling.

Xu Aiyong's body was as stiff as a stone, and there was no way for him to get up in the middle of the night to secretly practice how to cut meat and slaughter pigs.

Xu Guifen hugged his body and stared in a daze all night.

The next day, Xu Guifen and Xu Er moved all the valuable things in the house into the greenhouse in the field.

The person is dead, but her life must go on. Otherwise, who will take care of Xu Er?

She planned to create a scene where Xu Aiyong died accidentally in a fire.

Then he took Xu Aiyong's confession letter to Xiaoping and went to the city to ask him to find a place to live for him and his widowed mother.

That night, she gathered a load of firewood and threw it into their bedroom.

Xu Aiyong had spent a week chopping these firewoods and had neatly stacked them in the yard. She returned all of them to him without leaving a single piece, and then poured a whole jar of vegetable oil on them.

Just leave this place that makes her sad.

She suddenly felt a numbness on the back of her head, as if someone had hit her with a stick from behind.

Little Xu Er stood behind her, holding the stick expressionlessly.

On this day, a major incident occurred in the village: Xu Aiyong and Xu Guifen were burned to death.
