At this time, the atmosphere on the table suddenly became quiet.
Who would knock on someone’s door at noon on New Year’s Eve?
Could it be?
The Xu family looked at each other, and Xu Maoxue's eyelids were twitching wildly. He always felt that something bad had happened, but with a room full of people, he couldn't say anything, let alone leave.
The third uncle also took him to drink.
Xu Maoxue was so worried that he could only ask Xu's father for help.
Father Xu winked at the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xu family, "Eldest daughter-in-law, go and see who is here?"
He put down the chopsticks in his hand, feeling a little uneasy and added.
"Look, if Widow Wu comes to ask for money, take her directly into the house and don't let the neighbors see her."
Sister-in-law Xu nodded, feeling more and more confused. She walked out of the courtyard and chased away the old hens that were looking for food at her feet.
He slowed down his pace, stood at the door, breathed for a while, and then opened the wooden door of Xu's house.
"Who?"
The door opens.
She saw three people she didn't recognize. Sister-in-law Xu asked cautiously, while touching the latch, "Who are you?"
Neither Zhou Zhiyuan nor Ge Weiguo spoke.
Gu Ning took a step forward and took over the conversation. She smiled and said, "Sister, I am a classmate of Xu Maoxue. On behalf of the students in the class, I am here to visit the monitor."
This was the rhetoric prepared in advance before they came.
Sure enough, the word monitor came out.
Sister-in-law Xu's vigilance relaxed a bit. Their brother-in-law not only got admitted to the best high school in the city, but also became the class president.
Her mother-in-law talks about it every day, almost praising her in different ways.
Sister-in-law Xu relaxed her vigilance a little, and by chance, someone in the house shouted, "Sister-in-law, who is here??"
"It's your classmate."
Hearing Mrs. Xu's reply, Xu Maoxue breathed a sigh of relief, and the Xu family members at the table also breathed a sigh of relief. Then he put down his chopsticks and came out.
door.
Gu Ning and Zhou Zhiyuan looked at each other and then walked through the door of the Xu family.
Ge Weiguo was looking around to prevent Xu Maoxue from escaping.
Zhou Zhiyuan followed closely behind Gu Ning.
Gu Ning chatted with Mrs. Xu, "Sister, who are you our monitor? Our monitor said his family is very nice."
As soon as she heard the compliment from the other party, Sister-in-law Xu relaxed her guard and said, "I am Maoxue's sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law!"
Gu Ning's voice rose a little higher, and she turned around and exchanged glances with Zhou Zhiyuan and the others.
"Then do you know Wu Xiuling?"
As soon as I heard this name.
Sister-in-law Xu stiffened for a moment, then denied it, "I don't know Wu Xiuling."
Gu Ning was not disappointed, she smiled, "What about Gu Yao? Gu Yao is also a classmate in our class? I heard from my monitor that there are several people from your village in our class?"
Seeing that Gu Ning just asked the classmate's name casually, Sister-in-law Xu relaxed a little, "Yes, our village has good Feng Shui, and the children can learn well." After a pause, she was a little confused, "Why did you come to our Jia Mao to learn?"
Gu Ning pondered, but didn't answer yet.
Just at this moment.
Xu Maoxue heard the noise outside.
He followed him out of the main room, but as soon as he arrived in the courtyard, he saw Gu Ning and the people behind him.
Xu Maoxue was panicked at first, "Gu Ning, why are you here?"
He wanted to run away, but the two men beside Gu Ning stared at him closely.
Cut off his way.
Gu Ning raised her eyelashes and said calmly, "Come and see my good squad leader."
She wanted to know whether a person would feel guilty after hurting the person next to him.
No!
Xu Maoxue's face showed a guilty conscience, but he didn't feel any guilt at all.
"You should leave immediately after reading this!"
Xu Maoxue finished speaking and turned around to walk to the main room.
But his way was cut off by Zhou Zhiyuan and Ge Weiguo.
"Why are you running?"
Ge Weiguo, with a beard on his face, sneered.
Xu Maoxue rolled his eyes guiltily, "I'm going to have a reunion dinner."
It’s New Year’s Eve today.
At this moment, the people in the room seemed to realize that something was wrong, "Maoxue, what's wrong with you?"
It's Xu's father's voice.
Xu Maoxue was covered in cold sweat. Hearing his father's question, he felt guilty, "Dad, I'm fine. You guys eat first."
The more he says this.
The Xu family became more and more worried. Everyone put down their chopsticks and stood up one after another to come out to see what was going on.
When he saw Xu Maoxue being held down on the arm by a bearded man, face down, he was suddenly shocked, "What are you doing? Why do you arrest my son?"
It was Xu's mother, her voice was extremely shrill.
When thick arms come up, they will rob people.
However, he was punched away by Ge Weiguo, "The police are handling the case, and everyone else is waiting, please move away."
public security?
The Xu family was stunned immediately, as if struck by lightning.
As soon as Gu Ning looked at their expressions, he knew that what Xu Maoxue did must not be hidden from his family.
Therefore, she sneered and suggested, "It's better to take the Xu family to the police station together. After all, they are not the perpetrators, they may be insiders!"
Once you say this.
The legs of the entire Xu family became weak.
Why did the police come to my door?
Could it be that Wu Xiuling's matter came to light?
All the Xu family members looked at each other and saw panic in each other's eyes.
The third uncle who had drunk two ounces of cat urine also woke up instantly.
"Our Maoxue dolls are the most outstanding. Why did you arrest our Maoxue?"
The third uncle said with a loud tongue, "Mao Xuewa, you asked me to borrow the money, and you didn't ask you policemen to borrow the money. Why did you arrest him?"
Once you say this.
Father Xu even wanted to beat his third uncle to death.
When you're drunk, you're drunk, and you talk so much.
However, Gu Ning and the others grasped the key point, "Borrow money? Borrow what money?"
The third uncle had never done anything bad in his life, so he was frightened by the cold faces of Ge Weiguo and Zhou Zhiyuan.
Immediately he said it like he was pouring beans, "I just want to lend 70 yuan to Widow Wu!"
Once you say this.
Not only Xu Maoxue's face was gloomy, but the Xu family's faces were also extremely ugly.
They never expected that the third uncle would be the first to bite.
Xu's mother suddenly had an idea, a rare moment of wisdom, "Isn't it just borrowing money? What's the point? Wu Xiuling took advantage of our old Xu family, and we gave her mother some money to replenish her body. What's the point?"
"
This was said openly.
I have to say that Xu's mother is quite smart and can throw the blame away at such a critical moment.
really.
As soon as Xu's mother said this, "Yes, our Xu family is a kind-hearted person, and we cannot do anything to be mean to our future daughter-in-law. We have to do everything we can to help our future daughter-in-law."
Father Xu also followed suit.
"Police officer, we are all good citizens who abide by the law. I don't know, why are you arresting my son?"
Xu's father and Xu's mother are both smart people, otherwise they would not have given birth to such a smart Xu Maoxue.
It's just that their wisdom was used in the wrong place.
See the other person and ask.
Ge Weiguo said coldly, "Don't you know why your son was arrested?"
"Leader, we really don't know."
Father Xu pretended to be calm, but in fact, his legs were shaking and he was holding on for a breath to pretend not to know.
"You said that the money was given to Wu Xiuling's mother to replenish Wu Xiuling's health. Then, where is Wu Xiuling?"
As soon as he said this, Father Xu began to act crazy, "We really don't know this. If you don't believe it, ask Widow Wu? Her daughter has been missing for a few days, and she is also anxious to find her."
At this moment, I don’t know when, the door of Xu’s house was full of people.
During the Chinese New Year, every household gathered together, and Widow Wu was thinking about the three hundred yuan from the Xu family.
I have been paying attention to the rumors about the Xu family.
So after hearing this.
He immediately stood up and said, "Yes, leader, my daughter has been missing for a few days. People in our village have searched everywhere but can't find her."
At this point, she wiped away tears.
It was so pitiful to cry.
Ge Weiguo and the others looked at each other. Unexpectedly, even Wu Xiuling's mother stood with the Xu family.
This is difficult to do.
However, who was Ge Weiguo? He immediately shouted coldly, "Are you sure that your daughter Wu Xiuling was lost? Instead of being killed by the Xu family or Xu Maoxue?"
This cold shout was like a thunderclap.
It was so loud that everyone present could not recover.
Everyone in the Xu family also broke into cold sweats.
As for Xu Maoxue, he was completely frightened and his legs were shaking. He was pinned down by Ge Weiguo and kept shaking.
After Widow Wu took a look at the Xu family, she thought about her family. There were a bunch of children who couldn't even eat a piece of meat during the New Year.
Compared with the eldest daughter who was disobedient and embarrassed her, the series of children behind her were more important, not to mention the one with a handle.
Widow Wu was heartbroken and said, "Boss, are you mistaken? My daughter is lost, but she is not dead. You must not curse my daughter like this."
She did not admit that Wu Xiuling was dead.
Just trying to excuse the Xu family.
Father Xu who was next to him said immediately, "Boss, did you hear that Wu Xiuling's mother said she was lost, but she has nothing to do with our Xu family."
Xu Maoxue put his face to the ground and shouted, "You can't unfairly accuse me, a good person like me!"
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
Sudden.
The front door of Xu's house was pushed open.
The person walking towards him was none other than Wu Xiuling.
when she showed up.
Everyone at the scene was stunned.
Widow Wu, in particular, looked shocked and widened her eyes, "Show, show, show off."
The Xu family also looked like they had seen a ghost, "Wu Xiuling, why are you here?"
Isn't she dead?
Wu Xiuling had a look of resentment on her face, "Yes! In your eyes, I am dead, but I didn't expect that if the Xu family said I was dead, how could my own mother say that I was dead?"
She limped up to Widow Wu and shed tears of blood, "Mother, I died so miserably. I was strangled to death by Xu Maoxue's own hands!"
She pulled her neck open, and the bruises on her neck were clearly visible.
Combined with the blood and tears she shed, it was so scary.
"What? Wu Xiuling was strangled to death by Xu Maoxue? Aren't they childhood sweethearts?"
"Is this the revenge of someone who died unjustly?"
The surrounding members couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
When Widow Wu heard these words, it was like a bolt from the blue.
"Xiuling, Xiuling, you——"
Widow Wu was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground and kept backing up, "How-why are you back?"
Wu Xiuling cried, "If I don't come back, I still don't know that my life is only worth three hundred yuan!"
"Mom, just for three hundred dollars, you didn't even investigate the cause of my death!"
This is really shocking.
Widow Wu was trembling with fear, "Mother--mother doesn't want to do that either! You have four younger sisters and a younger brother at home. They can't survive without money!"
She is a widow with six children.
How difficult it is!
"So, you partnered with the Xu family, took their life money, and helped them make false witnesses?"
Wu Xiuling's voice burst into tears, this is her mother!
Before coming back, she still held on to a glimmer of hope.
"Xiu Ling - me,"
Widow Wu could not utter a single word.
Wu Xiuling stopped looking at her, turned around, and staggered towards the initiator, Xu Maoxue.
Don't know when.
Ge Weiguo had already let go of Xu Maoxue's arm, retreated into the crowd, and pushed Xu Maoxue in front of Wu Xiuling.
As Wu Xiuling approached step by step.
Xu Mao crawled back smoothly, and the mud on the ground covered him. His face was extremely frightened, "Are you a human or a ghost?"
Not surprising, Xu Mao didn’t know his grades clearly.
At this moment, Wu Xiuling's hair was disheveled, her face was blue, her eyes were filled with blood and tears, and her whole body was feeling cold.
This looks so much like a ghost who died and came back for revenge!
"I'm a ghost! Xu Maoxue, it hurts so much when you pinch me!"
She covered her neck and pinched it back with both hands. She looked suffocated and cried bitterly, "At that time, I begged you to let go. I knelt down and begged you to let go. Why didn't you let go?"
Her actions, her demeanor, her words.
It was simply simulating the scene that happened the night before.
Even if Xu Maoxue was evil, it was his first time to kill someone, or the person he was sleeping with. He had nightmares for several days in a row.
Now, this scene is exactly the same as what Xu Mao dreamed about in his dream.
In the dream, this was how Wu Xiuling came to seek revenge on him.
Green face, fangs, and blood at the corners of his eyes.
He couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream, so he backed away and yelled.
"Can you blame me? Can you blame me? Who made you pregnant at this time?
Don’t you know that this is the critical moment for me to marry Gu Yao? Why are you pregnant at this time? Why do you want to come to live in the Xu family? Why do you want to mess with Gu Yao? "
Until now.
He still didn't think he was wrong. Even if he was extremely frightened, he was still confident.
"Xiuling, why are you blocking my Qingyun Road?"
"You blocked my Qingyun Road. If I don't get rid of the child, what can I do?"
As he said that, he cried and threw himself in front of Wu Xiuling, grabbing her cold arm that had no warmth at all.
"Xiu Ling, you have always understood me best. Do you understand me? I am also here for our good life in the future! Only by taking down Gu Yao can we climb up to the people behind her!"
"Xiuling, don't come to me. Every injustice has its own owner, and it's Gu Yao who harmed you, so - you go and find Gu Yao!"
The last word.
Xu Maoxue almost shouted.
Everyone at the scene was shocked.
They never expected that Xu Maoxue, who was regarded by everyone as very capable and an excellent scholar, would be so shameless.
It was obvious that he had done bad things himself, yet he could so confidently blame others for his mistakes.
Wu Xiuling looked at the man in front of her who was avoiding responsibility because of fear, and suddenly closed her eyes.
She didn't know why she had blindly fallen in love with such a man who had no ability to take responsibility.
She suddenly and accurately targeted Gu Yao in the crowd, "Gu Yao, aren't you going to say something?"
