Chapter 315: Chapter 315: Trouble at the Cui Family _1

May 29th.

A big event happened in Yan City.

Ms. Cui looked at Cui Tian, who was covered in blood, speechless.

There was a dark red color of blood on Cui Tian’s face and body, and he held a cleaver in his right hand.

"Mother."

"This..." Ms. Cui was seriously scared, especially seeing the two corpses lying inside the room.

"Mother, you go and report the crime at the county yamen, I have killed people." Cui Tian did not show any panic. He knew that a man who caught his wife in adultery and killed her and her lover will not be held accountable as long as he pays 500 wen to the authorities.

Ms. Cui staggered a few steps back, and the noise from the house had already brought some neighbors.

"What happened to the Cui Family?"

"Cui Tian killed people! He killed Ms. Cui and her lover!"

"I’ve always said that Ms. Cui is up to no good! She has been fooling around with men while selling pancakes outside, surely she can’t be clean!"

"What you’re saying, Cui Tian isn’t necessarily a good person either. He left his mother at home and was even going to steal her funeral money! Now look, he has to pay with his life for killing people!"

Outside the courtyard, there was a lot of commotion. Cui Tian’s face was calm, and only his hand holding the cleaver tightened slightly.

When Lin’s mother brought her two daughters-in-law to the food stalls, she saw that a few others had already arrived and were chatting away.

Seeing them arrive, Aunt Gong was in high spirits and greeted them, "Sister Lin, you’re quite late today."

Seeing her so happy, Lin’s mother joked, "Sister Gong, did something good happen at home?"

Aunt Gong laughed, her brows and eyes relax and without her usual worries, "Yes, there is good news, but it’s not about my family."

Chen Qiulan was somewhat curious and asked, "Aunt Gong, what do you mean by that?"

The woman selling steamed buns on the side saw that they were not aware of the situation and explained, "Something happened at Ms. Cui’s house, you didn’t know?"

Sun Cui was a bit confused, something happened in Ms. Cui’s house?

What could make the aunties so happy?

"Do you remember the wheelchair that Ms. Cui used before?"

The woman asked mysteriously.

Chen Qiulan and Sun Cui looked at each other and nodded.

How could they forget, that wheelchair was bought by Wu Er in her own home.

Thinking of Wu Er, Chen Qiulan’s heart skipped a beat, and she had a rough guess of what had happened.

It was only a matter of time before Ms. Cui’s brazen actions were discovered.

"At the time, I thought something was fishy. She earned so little selling pancakes for one day that it was probably not enough for her husband Cui Tian to spend on drinking and gambling. How could she afford to buy such an expensive wheelchair if she only sprained her ankle? Guess what, it turns out it was paid for by her lover!"

"Lover?"

Aunt Gong nodded and blurted out everything she knew: "Isn’t it! You know, the man Ms. Cui married is a local hoodlum, often disappearing for three or four months, leaving only Ms. Cui and her mother-in-law at home. Guess what, she hooked up with the minor manager at the Hongfu Building, Wu Er!

Yesterday, when Cui Tian went home at midnight, he caught them in bed. In a fit of rage, he killed them both!

The room was full of blood at the time, which was very scary!"

Aunt Gong exaggerated as if she were one of the eyewitnesses, which made Lin’s mother and the others stunned.

"Ms. Cui is dead?"

"Yes! She always liked to seduce men. Now it’s fine, she died because of her infidelity."

The woman selling buns sighed but did not seem to pity Ms. Cui.

"What goes around comes around!" Aunt Gong huffed.

From the start, Ms. Cui was never a good person, and her present circumstances were simply the results of her previous actions!

Lin’s mother did not have much to say. She simply shook her head and continued to tidy up her stall.

In her opinion, if life had become unbearable, they should have divorced. From what she could tell, Cui Tian was not a good man. If that was the case, why endure it? It would be better to divorce sooner!

But now it’s ended with such a tragedy.

Nanzhi heard some rumors in the restaurant too, but didn’t feel much about them.

She was just worried, seeing the spot where Shen Miaomiao should have been, empty.

She didn’t know how things were going at Miaomiao’s home.

The Shen Family only has Shen Zhong and Miaomiao as children. If Shen Zhong hadn’t met with such misfortune, his return would have obviously been a good thing, but now, even though he has returned, he is in such a state, surely it was hard for Aunt Guihua and others.

She was afraid that Miaomiao, caught between them, might be in a difficult situation.

Nanzhi seemed absent-minded the whole day, thinking about this. Only when she returned home did Shen Zhiyu notice his mother looked worried.

"Mother, is there something bothering you?" The little boy sat across Nanzhi, his cheeks held by hands, his eyes full of concern.

Since his father was not home, it was his responsibility as the little man of the house to take care of his mom.

"Mother is fine. Have you finished your studies, Zhiyu?" Nanzhi rubbed the kid’s head while starting to ask about his studies.

The little boy’s worried look froze for a moment, then shook his head: "I haven’t finished my homework, I have to write four pages of small characters today."

"Then remember to do it, you can’t forget." Nanzhi added, reminding him before asking: "Do you feel comfortable having Brother Xiaomi at home, Zhiyu?"

The little boy nodded, replying seriously: "Brother Xiaomi helps Granny clean the yard and also picks us up from the academy after school."

"Mother has been very busy these days and hasn’t been able to spend much time with you. Please don’t be mad at me, okay, Zhiyu?"

The little boy seemed surprised and was about to say something, when they heard Lin Jian pleading from the side.

"Mother, I was wrong! I was wrong!"

Lin Jian ran quickly, wailing that he was wrong, but Sun Cui was chasing him from behind with a thin bamboo stick in her hand.

"You little rascal! I told you to do your homework and you didn’t, now it’s too late, tomorrow I have to go to the academy to hear your teacher’s lecture again."

As Sun Cui chased after Lin Jian with the thin bamboo, Lin Jian ran frantically around the yard, yelling.

"Dad! Save me! Mother’s going to kill me!"

As soon as Lin Ercheng walked through the door, he saw his son running wildly around the yard. Realizing that his son had caused trouble again, he helplessly reached out to hold Sun Cui.

"Alright, alright. What has Maomao done now?" Lin Ercheng held Sun Cui and took the thin bamboo away from her.

"Yesterday, he didn’t do his homework again. Today his teacher told Xiaomi and asked me to visit the academy tomorrow. How many times has this happened this year!" Sun Cui stared off in annoyance at her son, who was hiding in his grandmother’s yard.

This little rascal was having a good life, and yet he was being disobedient!

Seeing all this chaos in the yard, Nanzhi turned to look at Shen Zhiyu.

"Zhiyu, can you keep up with your studies?"

The little boy, now scared by his brother’s predicament, obediently nodded: "Don’t worry mom, I can keep up with my studies. Zhiyu won’t let you go to the academy to hear lectures."

He spoke so earnestly that Nanzhi, feeling relieved, stroked his face to cheer up.

She couldn’t interfere too much with Miaomiao’s family matters. It would be better not to add to her existing troubles.
