Following Ye Yuran's "reasoning", Li Zheng, the clan leader's thinking suddenly became clear - yes, why do they always think about having a grudge? They can also start with the "alibi" aspect.

Because there is some distance between the two villages, it would be in the afternoon anyway, so they did not waste any time and quickly asked around each house to see what everyone was doing at that time.

.

It was also a coincidence that, among other things, there were people in the house of Lao Qianpo's house who actually proved that what Lao Qianpo said was "true" at different points in time.

"How many sons are there in the old Qian's wife's family? I saw them. They went up the mountain this morning. I was still surprised at that time. They couldn't hunt, so why did they all run up the mountain without leaving any trace?"

"When it was about to rain, I saw a man from his family, Lao Wu, carrying a basket of raincoats on his back. He must have gone to pick up someone."

"Dabao, Erbao and the others? They saw it. When I went to pick up my son, the little sister from Lao Qian's family happened to be picking up someone as well. Their seventh child was also there."

"Yes, they changed some meat sauce at that time. As soon as I changed it back, the sky changed color, and I hurriedly gave my man a raincoat."

…

As for the other villagers, Li Zheng and the clan leader also paid a little attention to see if they could "prove" each other.

Although there were clues showing that several villagers were not telling the truth, Li Zheng and the clan leader also saw that they had nothing to do with Mrs. Mei's death.

The direction of Mrs. Mei's death is in the opposite direction from that of Widow Qin's family. They may have some connection with Widow Qin, but they will definitely not be related to Mrs. Mei.

The place where Mrs. Mei appeared at that time was a bit remote and not often visited by people. At that time yesterday, no one had been to that area. In other words, the people in Zhujia Village had no time to commit crimes.

"Since they are not from Zhujiacun, is it possible that they are from outside Zhujiacun?" After Ye Yuran disposed of the door-to-door bracelet, she felt relaxed. She reminded, "Although our Zhujiacun is not

It’s particularly close to the road, but it’s normal for people to pass by occasionally.”

"Who would attack Mrs. Mei for no reason?"

"Is it possible that she is the girl from the Zhang family?" Ye Yuran said, "The girl from the Zhang family has been missing for a long time. No one can be found in either the Zhang family or the Mei family. Their Li Zheng and the village chief are also missing.

Come to us and ask. The girl from the Zhang family has such a big belly and is about to give birth. Where can she go at this time? The Mei family can’t go, and the Zhang family can’t go. Will she run to Zhu at this time?

Is Jiacun coming?”

"It's possible." The patriarch said thoughtfully, "That makes sense. It's possible that Mrs. Mei followed the Zhang girl all the way to Zhujia Village. But she was discovered by the Zhang girl, and the two had an affair.

dispute……"

As he spoke, he and Li Zheng looked at each other.

Li Zheng said: "The question now is, where is the Zhang family girl?"

No one knows where Zhang Yan is, not even Zhang Yan herself.

When she woke up, she found herself lying on a carriage, swaying.

"Where is this?" She looked weak and her lips turned white.

"Are you awake?" A little maid came over and quickly poured her a glass of water. "It was my wife who saved you. It was raining so heavily and you still fainted on the roadside. If it weren't for my wife's kindness, you

I’m afraid I’ll have to die on the roadside.”

"Madam?" Zhang Yan was confused.

"Yes, that's Madam."

Zhang Yan looked at the small but very "luxury"-looking carriage, and then at the maid wearing a silver hairpin next to her, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart.

So when the distinguished "Madam" knew she was awake and sent someone to ask her about her condition, Zhang Yan said, "I'm sorry, I don't remember."

"Don't you even remember your name?" the old lady, who was more luxuriously dressed, asked softly.

Zhang Yan shook her head: "I don't remember."

"Oh...it seems like your brain has been burned out. You can rest first and I'll go back to Madam."

After the old lady left, Zhang Yan asked the maid who she was.

The maid told her that she was the madam's wet nurse, "Mama Zhang", who was the kindest. And their carriage was following their madam to the south to follow their uncle who had taken office.

Taking office? Zhang Yan was delighted: "My uncle is an official?"

The maid smiled: "It's not a high official, just a county magistrate."

"The county magistrate..." What a big official that must be, a high-ranking official that she would never meet in her life.

Zhang Yan suddenly felt that she was lucky.

Although they thought well, the Mei family still came earlier than Li Zheng and the village chief.

As soon as they arrived, they carried hoes, sticks and other things directly to Zhu's house.

Because of Mrs. Mei's death, and because the sky was gloomy and it felt like it was going to rain, Ye Yuran didn't let the Zhu family go out that day, and they all stayed at home.

It cannot be said that they are all "free". The women of the Zhu family are still very busy, eating three meals a day, washing and washing, and making new clothes.

Zhu San was worried about the fishing nets in the river, so he took his two younger brothers and ran back to the river while it wasn't raining.

This time they didn't think about the harvest, they just wanted to get their fishing nets back so that the nets wouldn't be lost when the rain washed them away.

"Third brother, look, this net is torn, there's such a big hole..." Zhu Si was afraid that his clothes would get dirty and he didn't have to change them, so he took off his clothes naked, hugged a dirty fishing net, and dragged it to the shore.

side.

There was not a complete lack of harvest on the fishing net, but it was much less than usual.

Zhu Wu also took off his clothes. After he helped drag the fishing net up, he found the basket and started to pick it up: "As long as the net is not lost, it is broken. I can't find the previous net."

"Yes, it's such a pity. It will take a long time to compile this web."

"We still have to make hemp, which is really troublesome."

…

When the three of them returned home, they quickly wiped it with hot water and drank a bowl of ginger soup.

At this time, someone sneaked into their yard and told them that the Mei family was here. They were asking about the location of the Zhu family at the entrance of the village and were heading this way.

"How many people are there?" Ye Yuran asked.

"Uh! I can't count, but there are quite a few. I feel like there are about the same number as your family members..." After the man made a flattering report, he hurriedly left the Zhu family's yard.

"Mom, let me go and take a look." Zhu San said.

"Be careful, don't let them see it, go back quickly." Ye Yuran said, "Little sister, you take the third sister, the fourth sister, Dabao, the second treasure, and the seventh child back to the room, I didn't let you

If you come out, don't come out."

"Yes, mother." Zhu Bamei also knew about this, and she couldn't interfere with it, so she quickly called someone and followed her into the house.

"Fourth's family, if you can't take care of it alone, take it to my room and ask my little sister and the others to help." Ye Yuran considered that there would be some movement later, for fear of scaring Sanbao, who was still drinking milk.

Bao, gave Li an idea.

"Hey, okay, mother." Mrs. Li quickly collected the two children's things and ran to join Zhu Bamei and the others.
