"Why don't you take a piss and look at your disfigured face? You are no match for my brother!"

"If your Wen family hadn't shamelessly come to me with some kind of life-saving favor, do you think my brother would have married you? Just looking at you makes me sick."

"My brother never came home after he got the marriage certificate, and you have the nerve to stay in our house and not leave."

Xie Guiqiu pushed Wen Qin out of the house. Wen Qin tripped over the threshold and rolled out of the yard. Xie Guiqiu took the opportunity to slam the door shut.

Wen Qin felt as if she was on a roller coaster, rolling up and down, feeling dizzy, and finally her head hit something heavy. Her ears were ringing for a while, and her eyes were filled with confusion.

Until her eyes seemed to be blocked by a sticky liquid, she raised her hand and wiped it, and instantly the world seemed to turn red.

It was probably this bit of blood that finally stimulated Wen Qin: "I was reborn?"

Wen Qin turned her head. The old tree she was leaning against still had the blood-red spot she had just bumped into. In another 12 years, it would be hollowed out by termites and collapse on a typhoon day.

Looking up again, I saw the brown wooden door, the low bungalow, the straw piled in the corner, the old road made of blue-gray stones on the ground, and even the faint sound of chickens clucking.

The ninth production team of Xiaxixi Village.

30 years ago in Xiaxi Village, she actually returned to the home of Jie Mingxia, the one whom she had harmed all her life by seeking revenge.

After the shock of rebirth, the pain in her forehead reminded Wen Qin of her current situation.

Although she felt sorry for Jie Mingxia, she couldn't expect her sister-in-law Jie Guiqiu to be nice to her!

Wen Qin stood up unsteadily, holding onto the old tree. He suppressed the nausea caused by the impact on his head and took a deep breath.

A scream resounded through the quiet village. Wen Qin used the high-pitched voice she had learned from hawking in the market in her previous life and shouted, "Murder! Robbery! Jie Guiqiu embezzled my sister-in-law's dowry!!!"

Xiaxi Village is located in a water town, so the production teams live very close to each other, almost one household next to the other. When she shouted with such a loud voice, not only the ninth team, but also many families in the nearby second, eighth and seventh teams opened their windows.

"What's going on? What happened?" The first person to arrive was naturally Yuan Hongyu who lived next door. Seeing Wen Qin leaning against the old tree, she immediately added fuel to the fire, "Oh my god, someone's been killed! There's blood everywhere!!"

The team members who had just stuck their heads out to check the situation heard a second voice shouting "kill", so they didn't waste any time and ran over quickly.

Because there was a small river in between, the members of the eighth team all ran to the shore and shouted on the other side: "What's wrong? What's wrong? Do you want us to go to the police station to call for help?"

Team leader Xu Jianqiang lived a little far away, but he rode a 28-bar bicycle and came quite fast. When he saw the weak Wen Qin after getting off the bike, he couldn't help but show a trace of disgust on his face, but he couldn't make it too obvious: "What's wrong? It's almost dark, why are you making trouble here?"

Wen Qin covered her forehead with her hands. She glanced at everyone, trying to identify them and comparing them with the people in her memory. When she saw Xu Jianqiang coming on a bicycle, she immediately remembered the man who later became a high-ranking official in the village, so she stared at him intently. Naturally, she did not miss his gaze and couldn't help sighing in her heart.

Back then, I was spoiled by my family and became lawless. I didn't have a very good reputation in the village. Xu Jianqiang always wanted to marry his niece to Jie Mingxia, so it was no wonder that he disliked me.

However, Xu Jianqiang is a selfless person, as we can see from the fact that he sacrificed his life for typhoon relief while in office. So Wen Qin did not panic, but walked around the crowd surrounding her and stood in front of Xu Jianqiang: "Captain Xu, although the new era does not pay attention to betrothal gifts and dowries, I should have the right to eat the food I brought from my parents' home to my husband's home, right?"

The most basic emotion of the villagers is to protect their food. When they heard that the food brought from her parents' home was not given to the daughter-in-law, many people began to criticize her: "Really? The food subsidized by her parents' home is not given to her?"

"Comrade Xie Guiqiu refused to let me eat and kicked me out of her house, saying her brother was not at home and would not let me in."

"Captain Xu, everyone is equal now, so it's not appropriate for Old Zhang to bully his daughter-in-law, right?"

"Not only did Comrade Xie Guiqiu not allow me to enter, he also pushed me and made me bump into an old tree. Look at my forehead."

Wen Qin stood in front of Xu Jianqiang and put down her hand that had been covering her forehead.

Wen Qin had been covering her wound just now, and the blood was just seeping out from between her fingers. No one noticed it except those who were standing close to her. Now they saw that half of her face was covered in blood, and many people screamed.

"Captain Xu, I want to accuse Gui Qiu of murder for money. He deliberately drove me out of my home on such a cold day in order to steal the food and money I brought home the day before yesterday."

"Wenqin, stop talking nonsense!!!" Jie Guiqiu, who had been hiding at the door and eavesdropping because there were too many people, finally couldn't help but rush out after hearing this. Murder for money is not a small crime. If he reports it to the commune, he might be shot.

"Comrade Jie Guiqiu, just tell me whether I brought 300 kilograms of grain, 25 kilograms of pork, 150 eggs, and 400 yuan from my mother's home yesterday." Every time Wen Qin mentioned something, the villagers around him gasped.

In fact, according to the situation in her previous life, Xie Guiqiu drove her out of the house simply because he disliked Wen Qin, but Wen Qin insisted on giving it to him: food, pork, eggs, and a full 400 yuan!

What does 400 yuan mean? It is almost the annual salary of a regular worker in a state-owned factory in the town.

This is definitely enough to constitute a motive for murder...

Xie Guiqiu was also stunned at this moment. When Wenqin came back yesterday, her two brothers came in with large sacks of food, eggs, and pork. In fact, many people in the team had seen them. She wanted to deny it, but she absolutely couldn't. As for the money...

But after hearing Wen Qin's words, she even started to wonder why Wen Qin didn't die by hitting his head against the wall just now.

Then he quickly shook his head: "Don't talk nonsense! I didn't even know you brought 400 yuan with you!"

Wen Qin didn't respond to Li Guiqiu at all, and instead said to Xu Jianqiang: "If Captain Xu doesn't give me justice, I will file a complaint with the commune, the police station, or the county. My sister works at the county's cotton mill, so I'm not afraid to go to the county."

After hearing what Wen Qin said, Xu Jianqiang finally spoke up: "These are just what you said, where is the evidence?"
