Reborn as an educated youth, my love brain awakens

After returning to the village, Ji Qinglan received another piece of news.

Although she is busy every day, she knows everything big and small that happens in the Honghe Brigade, thanks to Niu Guixiang, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Today Xiang Qiang beat Li Xiaoya again. The reason was that Li Xiaoya went out to fetch water and turned into the woods to have a tryst with a man. This was seen by the gossipy Peng Yulian, who shouted it out so that the whole village knew about it. For this reason, Xiang Qiang grabbed Li Xiaoya's hair and beat her severely.

Li Xiaoya couldn't bear the beating anymore and suddenly shouted in front of everyone that Xiang Qiang was a murderer and had killed his ex-wife Hu Xiaoli.

After this incident, Xiang Qiang quickly denied it, scolded Li Xiaoya as a lunatic and talked nonsense, and dragged her back home by force.

Niu Guixiang said as she coiled the yarn, "In the end, Li Xiaoya changed her mind and said that I was talking nonsense. This incident scared Lao Zhang and Captain Li. We have enough problems in the Honghe Brigade. We can't have another murderer."

Ji Qinglan pursed her lips, she thought of more. The murderer of the Red River Brigade had been found out long ago. Xiang Qiang and Li Xiaoya were caught having an affair by Hu Xiaoli, Xiang Qiang accidentally killed someone, Li Xiaoya was also responsible for this, if there was a fuss she would not be able to escape.

So, how could she admit it? It's too late for her to deny it.

Regarding this matter, when she was reborn, she asked Han Yuanjun to secretly pass the message to the Hu family. Hu Xiaoli's brother went to the public security bureau to report the case, but there was no conclusive evidence at the time, and the captain had guaranteed her, so the matter was left unresolved.

Now that the matter came from Li Xiaoya's mouth, it is impossible to let it go easily.

Liu Yumei curled her lips and continued, "I think so. Hu Xiaoli was as strong as a bull. He was still working one day, but he died of illness the next day. God knows what happened. Moreover, Captain Xiang buried him hastily, and the Hu family didn't even have time to take a look at him."

Niu Guixiang also thought about how Hu Xiaoli died last year under unclear circumstances, and Captain Xiang and Xiang Qiang buried him the next day. This thought...

Thinking hard.

Oh! Let's have fun! Why is their brigade so unlucky? In the future, it will be very difficult for the young men and women of the Red River Brigade to find a wife. Now when the young men of the Xiang family go out to look for a girl, the matchmakers will avoid them as soon as they hear that it is the Xiang family of the Red River Brigade. Several marriage proposals have been cancelled.

Now, with the appearance of Xiang Qiang, not only will people with the surname Xiang have difficulty finding a spouse, but the disaster will spread to the entire Honghe Brigade.

Ji Qinglan let her son and Ni'er hug her neck while she explained to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law: "Li Xiaoya must have known something and suddenly said it; but she denied it, it is very likely related to her, and she will not end up well if she makes a fuss."

Liu Yumei reacted and said quickly: "Those two adulterers have been together for a long time. I seem to remember that on the day when Hu Xiaoli got into trouble, Xiang Qiang was at Li Xiaoya's house. Could it be that..."

She suddenly thought of something and her eyes widened in disbelief.

"They must have been caught in an affair by Hu Xiaoli and killed by them. No, we need to call the police."

Niu Guixiang listened and stopped winding the wool in her hands.

Liu Yumei stood up and said hurriedly, "I'll go tell my father-in-law and Jianguo to call the police."

As she was about to go out, Ji Qinglan hurriedly pulled her back and said, "Secretary Zhang and Comrade Jianguo will be back soon. Don't miss them if you go out. I think Li Xiaoya must be in danger right now. We should go to Xiang's house first."

Liu Yumei paused and said uncertainly, "No way! How dare Xiang Qiang?"

"Whether he dares or not, he has done it." Ji Qinglan looked at her and nodded. Be bold and remove the word 'dare or not'.

As long as you take the first step and break through the barrier in your heart, the rest of the things will be a natural process. For someone like Xiang Qiang, who is now crazy in his heart, he does not need to think with a normal person.

Thinking that Li Xiaoya might be in danger, Liu Yumei became anxious and could not wait even a minute: "I will go find my father-in-law and Jianguo now and go to the Xiang family to check on them."

Ji Qinglan also followed.

"Aunt Niu, let me put the new sword here with you first so I can take a look at it."

Niu Guixiang was trembling.

The two met Secretary Zhang and Zhang Jianguo on the way outside the village committee and told them what happened. The two also felt that the matter was serious. Zhang Jianguo ran to call two militiamen and hurried to Xiang's house.

It was nearly dusk, and the sunset glowed an orange-red sky with brilliant rays of light; but the passers-by were in a hurry and had no time to appreciate the magnificent beauty.

Smoke from cooking rose in the village, and the aroma of food wafted from the simple farmyards, attacking everyone's sense of smell.

Xiang Qiang's home was completely silent. There was no sound of roosters crowing or dogs barking, and no sight of cooking smoke. It was completely out of tune with the daily life of farmers. Since Captain Xiang went in, the Xiang family had fallen into decline.

"Open the door, open the door." Zhang Jianguo knocked hard on Xiang Qiang's wooden door. The loud noise startled the neighbors, but the two old wooden doors did not open.

"Xiang Qiang, open the door, open the door." Zhang Jianguo said anxiously.

Secretary Zhang and Captain Li stood at the back, anxiously wiping the sweat from their faces. Captain Li was called over later, and he was so anxious that he didn't even take a bite of the food on the table.

He stared at Ji Qinglan with dissatisfaction, thinking that she was making a big deal out of nothing. How could Xiang Qiang, that coward, dare to kill someone?

However, since Secretary Zhang had come, he had no choice but to follow and take a look.

Just as Zhang Jianguo was about to knock on the door, it opened.

Xiang Qiang stood by the door, looking slovenly and decadent, with a bad smell of alcohol.

He was obviously startled when he saw so many people standing outside the door, and his eyes dodged, but he quickly reacted and asked calmly: "Captain Li, Secretary Zhang, what are you doing here?"

"We came here to find Comrade Li Xiaoya to understand the situation. You call her out." Secretary Zhang said. Of course, he couldn't just say directly, "I suspect you have harmed Li Xiaoya."

Secretary Zhang didn't want this to happen either. The precarious Honghe Brigade couldn't stand the damage any more! If something like this happened again, the commune leaders would point their fingers at them and spit at them.

Hearing Li Xiaoya's name, Xiang Qiang was obviously startled and said in panic: "She's out. She's not at home."

Secretary Zhang and Captain Li both felt a jolt in their hearts and looked at each other.

Are they late?

"Where did you go? Weren't you home this afternoon?"

Xiang Qiang lowered his head and answered honestly, "I went back to my mother's home."

Secretary Zhang and Captain Li breathed a sigh of relief. They must have run away because they couldn't bear the beating.

On second thought, Secretary Zhang felt something was wrong. Li Xiaoya didn't have a mother's home. She was a refugee from famine and was bought as a wife by her ex-husband's family in exchange for five kilograms of cornmeal.

Go back to my mother's home? Where is my mother's home to go back to?

When Secretary Zhang thought of this, his old eyelids twitched violently.

Zhang Jianguo reacted earlier than his father and pushed Xiang Qiang aside and entered the house.

"Where does Li Xiaoya have a mother's home? What have you done to her?" As he said that, Zhang Jianguo and his two militia brothers started searching the Xiang family's house, under the bed, under the table, in the cabinet... every corner.
