At around noon that day, Xia Rongguang still hadn't seen He Miaomiao return home, so he went to the vegetable garden to look for her.

He found that their two water buckets were by the river, but the people were gone.

Xia Rongguang guessed that something was wrong. He Miaomiao must have fallen into the water and drowned.

He immediately jumped into the Qingjiang River to look for someone, and later two strong men in the village also went into the water to help look for someone.

A few kilometers downstream from the accident site, we searched for He Miaomiao for most of the day but couldn't find her.

The river was so turbulent that the body should have been washed downstream long ago.

Xia Rongguang knew that He Miaomiao had no chance of survival, but since she was nowhere to be found, he had to retrieve her body and bury it so that she could rest in peace, even if he couldn't save her.

That night, Xia Rongguang did not sleep all night and continued to look for the person the next day, but still could not find him.

Three days later, a floating corpse was found in another village more than ten kilometers away from the scene of the incident.

There are rows of bamboos planted on both sides of the river, some of which extend into the water.

He Miaomiao's body was hooked by the bamboo and could not move forward.

Now that He Miaomiao is dead, she can no longer give birth to a son for Xia Rongguang, so Xia Rongguang's property will belong to Jiao Pozhen's two sons in the future.

Jiao Pozhen was daydreaming again.

At that time, Xia Rongguang was only 28 or 29 years old, and someone asked him to find a stepmother for his two daughters.

When Jiao Pozhen found out, she was scared. If Xia Rongguang really remarried, his remarried wife might give birth to a son for him.

In this way, her two sons would not be able to seize Xia Rongguang's property.

Jiao Pozhen racked her brains to think of a way to get Xia Rongguang's property.

As long as Xia Rongguang is alive, he will definitely remarry.

How can I stop him from remarrying?

There is only one way, and that is to make Xia Rongguang disappear from the world.

Jiao Pozhen does what she says.

Xia Rongguang specifically works with people in the village to help others build houses. They find these jobs themselves.

Once, the work for the previous house had been completed, but the next house had not been found yet. Xia Rongguang played at home for two days, and became more and more nervous.

If I don’t work, how will I support my two daughters? It costs a lot of money to send them to school!

That day, Xia Jintu went to Xia Rongguang's house and said that he had found a job, building a two-story building in a village in the next town.

He had already found two people and was planning to find another one. He asked Xia Rongguang if he was interested.

Xia Rongguang agreed readily. He finally found a job and a smile appeared on his face again.

Xia Jintu said that he would take them to the boss's place in the next town to see if the job was easy, and then go to the town to have a meal to celebrate.

When four grown men get together, wine is indispensable.

Xia Jintu kept toasting the other three people. Xia Rongguang couldn't drink much, but Xia Jintu found a job for him, so he had to drink and finally got drunk.

After that, they all went home.

Xia Rongguang was driving a motorcycle that was almost scrapped and its headlights were broken.

Xia Rongguang brought a flashlight with him, and drove home with one hand on the steering wheel and the other holding the flashlight.

After Xia Rongguang had been gone for about ten minutes,

The person that Jiao Pozhen had found in advance drove a small truck and followed Xia Rongguang all the way.

The driver knew Xia Rongguang and he saw Xia Rongguang's flashlight from afar.

The only road that led them to the town was a narrow two-lane road.

There just happened to be a dump truck coming towards us at a very fast speed.

The truck driver immediately turned on his high beams.

The driver of the dump truck was illuminated by the high beam, and there was only light in front of his eyes, so he had no idea what the road conditions were.

Within two seconds, the car shook and the dump truck driver felt something was wrong, as if he had hit something.

The dump truck driver got out of the car and was shocked to see that Xia Rongguang's head was crushed by the rear wheel of his car, his brains were popping out, and there was no sign of life on the spot.

Logically speaking, he should also bear some responsibility since the car had its high beams on and an accident occurred.

But there were no cameras on the road at that time, and the pickup truck did not have a license plate.

After the accident, the truck driver fled.

The dump truck driver didn't see the face of the pickup truck owner clearly, nor did he see what model of pickup truck he was driving.

Since the driver of the small truck could not be caught, the driver of the dump truck was held fully responsible and had to pay Xia Rongguang 86 yuan in compensation.

Since Xia Qianqian was seven years old and Xia Xiaodie was twelve years old at the time, both of them were minors, so the huge sum of money fell into the hands of their grandparents.

Jiao Pozhen's mother-in-law is a person who favors boys over girls. Jiao Pozhen serves her parents-in-law with delicious food and drinks, and talks to them from time to time.

"Mom, I gave birth to two sons for your Xia family. You should thank me as your benefactor. All the Xia family's property will be inherited by my two sons, including the 86 yuan compensation from my eldest uncle..."

Jiao Pozhen's parents-in-law thought that their eldest son's two money-losing children certainly could not inherit their property, so they gave all the 86 yuan to Jiao Pozhen for safekeeping.

The 86 yuan includes the support for the two sisters Xia Qianqian and Xia Xiaodie, as well as the support for their grandparents.

Jiao Pozhen took 86 yuan, and did not give a penny to Xia Qianqian and her sister, nor did she give any alimony to her parents-in-law, but kept it all for herself.

Xia Zhiqiang stopped going to school after finishing junior high school. Jiao Pozhen gave him 20 yuan and opened a car wash shop next to the national highway. She then had 66 yuan left, and with her own savings, she built a three-story house to prepare for the marriage of her two sons.

……

After Xia Qianqian and Xia Xiaodie learned the cause of their parents' death, they wished they could tear Jiao Po into two pieces.

Although the bad guys have been caught, no one can understand the pain that Xia Qianqian and Xia Xiaodie feel.

The two sisters Xia Qianqian took Mu Mu back to their hometown. More than ten years later, they once again moved into the house built by their parents. The shadow of their parents can be seen in every corner of this house.

Xia Qianqian planned to hire workers to repaint the house left by her parents after the Chinese New Year. Then they would have a home and no longer be homeless like before.

……

With Lu Yichen's secret help, Xia Xiaodie quickly bought a second-hand small commercial house.

The location is very good, with schools, hospitals, markets and subway stations nearby.

The price was also quite affordable, 13,000 yuan per square meter. The small commercial house was only 90 square meters. Adding other taxes and fees, the total cost was 1.3 million yuan, and I bought the small house.

Finally having a home, Xia Xiaodie and Mu Mu spent a particularly meaningful New Year in their new house.

Grandpa Lu asked Lu Yichen to bring Xia Qianqian back to his hometown for a reunion dinner.

The Lu family’s hometown is in the west of Qingcheng.

It was an ordinary three-story Western-style building.

The Lu family has a very good family tradition. Although they have more money than they can spend in several lifetimes, they have always been very low-key.

The house they live in is simply decorated and the furniture is mahogany furniture that ordinary families can own.

There aren't many furnishings in the house, and they are simple and elegant. You can't tell at all that they are the richest family in Qingcheng.
