The people in the village looked at Huang Dawei being taken away with timid faces, and no one dared to stop him.
They clutched the gold and silver jewelry in their hands tightly, feeling that what happened today was like a dream.
..
Along the way.
Lin An walked and talked in the team's voice chat, checking for loopholes along the way.
"Here's how it happened."
"Huang Youwei, the son of the head of the deserted village, brought back the girl Yuan Ying when he went out two years ago."
"Contrary to what he said, Yuanying was picked up by him in the ice and snow. It is not like a living person."
"Actually, Yuanying's identity is that of a "principal wife" and she is a real living person."
Xiong Hanzi was stunned after hearing this and asked subconsciously:
"Captain Lin, what is a standard wife?"
"Isn't Yuanying a ghost? Didn't Huang Youwei lie to us?! Then why did you say he didn't lie to us before?"
Lin An slowed down slightly and explained directly:
"Let's talk about the wife first."
"Pawn wives are actually a way of saying that poor families "lend" their wives to outsiders for the purpose of having children."
"Just like pawning items, women with childbearing potential are traded as items."
"This kind of bad habit existed in many places in the early years of the real world."
Lin An shook his head slightly. Logically speaking, he shouldn't know this.
As a person born in modern times, this word has long been swept into the trash heap of history.
However, at the end of the previous life, this ancient "custom" rose again.
After a pause, he continued:
"And the reason why I made such a guess came from a piece of information provided by the villagers."
"Some foreign leprous went to Huang Youwei to get his "pawn wife" back, but nothing happened."
"As for why I said Huang Youwei didn't lie to us, and why he did this, you will know after listening to it."
"first."
"After Huang Youwei brought Yuanying back, he quickly had a relationship with her and wanted Yuanying to give birth to a son for him."
"But in order to save face and avoid embarrassing Mr. Huang, he couldn't tell the villagers that Yuanying was his wife."
"Otherwise, this will undoubtedly force Mr. Huang to die."
"In ancient times, a woman who could not give birth to a son was guilty of a heinous crime."
"If the husband's wife cannot give birth, it is undoubtedly a shame for him to have a wife to give birth to a child."
"This is also mentioned by the villagers: Huang's previous births were all girls. And Huang's return to her parents' home once, which shows that there was a conflict between Huang Youwei and Huang."
Xiong Hanzi sighed after hearing this:
"What's wrong with having a daughter? Why do you have to have a son? But if you put it this way, Huang Youwei does take care of his wife's face?"
Lin An glanced at him and shook his head slightly:
"In a sense, it is."
"But in fact, Huang Youwei did this because he wanted to make the child Yuanying gave birth to his own."
"That year, after he brought Yuanying back, Huang and Yuanying became pregnant at the same time."
"He thinks very simply."
"If Yuanying gave birth to a son and Huang gave birth to a daughter, then he would transfer the child to others and claim that the boy was born to Huang."
"The girl drowned."
"In other words, Huang's pregnancy was simply a false pregnancy. Yuanying drowned when she gave birth to a girl, and she also claimed that Huang gave birth to a boy when she gave birth to a boy."
"In this way, the child will regard him as his biological parent when he grows up, and the Huang family will also have a "mother"."
"Fortunately or unfortunately..."
When Lin An said this, he paused for a moment and glanced at the somewhat dull Huang:
"Yuanying gave birth to a boy."
"This is a good thing."
"Huang Youwei achieved his goal, but he ignored Huang's mental state."
"In this era... there is no such thing as caring."
"Huang has been in a state of postpartum depression due to years of mental stress."
"She saw that Yuanying could give birth to a boy, which was a huge blow to her."
"Moreover, she even felt that Huang Youwei wanted to keep Yuanying."
"So, tragedy happened."
When Zhang Tie heard this, his eyes widened:
"Captain Lin! I understand!"
"So...Did Mrs. Huang kill Yuanying out of spite? Pushed her down the well!?"
"And then declare to the outside world that Yuanying is a ghost?"
"But why did she say it was Yuanying or a ghost?"
Lin An nodded, indicating that Zhang Tie guessed correctly.
It's a very simple reasoning, so he felt that his thinking was complicated at first.
"Well, what you said is almost right."
"Huang did push Yuanying down the well, but it was also related to Yuanying."
"Both women actually have a miserable life, or in other words, women in this environment are all miserable."
"As the model wife, Yuanying is already half crazy, and so is the Huang family."
"Therefore, Huang, in a jealous and twisted mood, saw Yuanying, who was also mentally insane, sitting by the well singing a ditty..."
"I can't give birth to a boy, but you can."
"I fell out of favor, you gain favor..."
"This is undoubtedly a horror for her."
"During the breakdown, she mistook Yuanying for a ghost and pushed her down."
"So, she actually didn't lie."
"In her heart and mind, Yuanying is indeed the ghost who "ruined" her life."
After a brief silence, Lin An sighed and continued:
"Huang Youwei soon discovered this incident."
"He knows that Yuanying is unlikely to be a ghost, but he can't say that Huang killed someone."
“A murder must be paid with a life, and a debt must be paid with money.”
"He cannot lose the Huang family, because losing the Huang family means that the child Yuanying gives birth to will no longer be born to his legitimate wife."
"He wants to keep the Huang family, and more importantly, he wants "progeny."
"But after Yuanying died in the well, the villagers wanted to drink water."
"The first is interest, and the second is that everyone also doubts whether Huang committed the murder."
"In desperation, Huang Youwei simply made up the story that he picked up Yuanying, and hinted that Yuanying was actually a ghost."
"After all, killing ghosts doesn't cost you your life!"
