Chapter 104: Chapter 104: So that’s how it is!_1

Second Aunt Lian Xiang was from Hekou Village, not far from Erdao River.

She lost her mother at an early age and her days grew bitter after her father remarried.

Fortunately, her grandparents treated her well, and she was lucky to meet Song He, marry into the Song family, and have a son and a daughter.

Song Yunuan had never received any news about Lian Xiang and Xiao Gang, Xiao Ru. She even thought that Second Aunt had left with the children.

But she hadn’t.

She stayed in the village. When Song He went to confront Lin Qing for answers, Lian Xiang was left at home with the three children, including Asheng.

Thinking the village was safe, but in fact, it was the most dangerous place.

Lian Xiang was beautiful, still attractive even after having children. Big Boss Ding harbored filthy thoughts for her.

At that time, Chu Xiaocao hadn’t entered the family yet.

One deep night, he entered Song He’s house. Lian Xiang fought desperately. Asheng wasn’t there; he had been lured away by Qin Siqi. Xiao Gang and Xiao Ru woke up, saw the man was Big Boss Ding, and rushed to fight him, Lian Xiang told Xiao Ru and Xiao Gang to run and call for help.

Unfortunately, in the end, they were all brutally killed by the ferocious Big Boss Ding.

He threw Lian Xiang and her three children into the river, then spread rumors that the Song family had committed monstrous crimes and that Lian Xiang, fearful of being implicated, had run away with someone.

At that time, several from Old Wang’s family were taken away, and Old Woman Mrs. Wang, who was always jumping around, never returned once she left.

The villagers were too busy with their own troubles to care about Lian Xiang’s life or death.

It was Chu Xiaocao, who had married into the family, who overheard a drunken Big Boss Ding slip up. She was suffering greatly and no longer wanted to live, so she went to the police to report Big Boss Ding.

Big Boss Ding confessed and bodies were dredged from the river. He was sentenced to death.

Chu Xiaocao returned to her maternal home. Old Mrs. Ding hated her to death and ran to Liuxia Hamlet, creating a commotion. Liu Daniu originally wanted to marry Chu Xiaocao off.

But seeing Old Mrs. Ding’s demeanor, she didn’t dare, and instead, drove Chu Xiaocao out.

Latterly, Chu Xiaocao went mad, and one winter night, she froze to death in a snowbank by the road.

Standing in the yard, Song Yunuan walked towards the gate.

Compared to them, Song Yunuan seemed rather calm.

Of course, to Aunt Sun next door, it looked like Little Nuan was scared out of her wits.

She also charged forward, grabbed Liu Daniu’s hair and cursed, "You shameless wretch with a mouth full of shit, how dare you run wild in our village? So full of yourself, huh? Just because you have brothers back home, you think you can sling mud at anyone?"

Liu Daniu screamed in agony from the hair-pulling.

Chu Zizhou was also witnessing a village fight for the first time. He was initially surprised but then urgently shouted, "Stop fighting, or I’ll take you all to the county police station."

Old Mrs. Song immediately let go of her grip. On the other side, Xia Guilan did the same. Song Nian had long since run over, blocking Chu Youfu who wanted to help.

Chu Zizhou from Beidu had an intimidating presence.

Ding Shan, holding a stone, didn’t know what to do and quickly tossed the stone to the ground.

This was the first time Chu Zizhou dealt with such matters, and he ran his hand through his hair in frustration before taking everyone to the brigade headquarters.

Lagging behind, Lian Xiang heard a faint voice: "So Second Aunt was killed by Old Ding and then thrown into the river, along with Xiao Gang and Xiao Ru. Ah, such a tragedy!"

As soon as this voice emerged, after not hearing ’heart voices’ for a long time, the Song family felt a chill of cold sweat on their backs.

Lian Xiang heard it this time.

She was so scared that her hair stood on end, and she looked around frantically, but was held tightly by Sun Jinrong.

Sun Jinrong had known about it for a long time and felt very proud.

She also gave Lian Xiang a meaningful glance.

Lian Xiang could hardly walk and was almost crawling on her hands and feet.

Old Mrs. Song hurriedly looked around and realized that only the Song family could hear it.

She dared not interrupt, worried that something might go wrong.

So she and her eldest daughter-in-law guarded Song Yunuan from both sides.

Song Yunuan was oblivious and lost in thought.

[...This time Big Boss Ding seemed to dare not harbor ill intentions towards Second Aunt Lian Xiang, but he had more than just three lives in his hands, including Second Aunt’s and Xiao Gang’s. In fact, his own wife had been strangled with a hemp rope, and they falsely claimed she died of illness. Old Mrs. Ding was also privy to this secret...]

[Find a way to help Chu Xiaocao, regardless of the motives, she avenged Second Aunt and her family. Her own mother, who isn’t clear-headed, was actually raising a girl who was the child of her husband Chu Youfu and another woman in the village. Xiaocao was sold, and if it wasn’t for the death of the kidnapper, this would have been exposed long ago. Anyway, it’s all very messy...]

Lian Xiang’s mind was in turmoil, and she could only look to her mother-in-law for help. Old Mrs. Song had previously wondered why there was no letter from Lian Xiang.

Could it be that this miserly daughter-in-law ran off with someone the moment she saw the Song family’s downfall?

But after all, it was just a guess, and life had to go on.

As it turned out, she had died at the hands of Big Boss Ding.

Yes, some people in the village said that Big Boss Ding’s wife did not seem to have died of illness.

She shook her head at Lian Xiang and said with an implied meaning, "It’s okay, don’t be afraid, let’s go home and eat meat later."

All four children were at home, playing with blocks inside the house. Hearing the noise, Old Man Song gestured to Asheng, who blocked the cousins from running out.

Soon, a group of people arrived at the commune office.

Song Yunuan stood in the courtyard, her eyebrows furrowed thinking that there seemed to be no way to handle Big Boss Ding’s matter.

Several years had passed, there was no evidence, and it was impossible to convict him.

She turned and glanced at Chu Xiaocao following behind and another girl who looked panicked.

It seemed that it must be Liu Daniu’s adoptive daughter, Chu Jiaojiao.

That name was originally Xiaocao’s, but after she was brought back, it became the adoptive daughter’s name.

Chu Zizhou stood at the entrance, and seeing Song Yunuan looking slightly pale, he thought she was intimidated and said, "Why did you even come? Go home, it’s none of your business here."

Song Yunuan: "I want to say a few words to them."

Chu Zizhou went into the house to understand the ins and outs of the situation.

Upon hearing the whole story, his brows deeply furrowed,

Liu Daniu, touching her cheek, resentfully glared at Xia Guilan, "You damn woman, daring to hit me. Just wait, you’ll end up in prison. Also, I have five brothers and over ten nephews; see if they won’t seek revenge for me."

Xia Guilan, recalling what she had heard, cursed directly, "You idiotic foul-mouthed moron, you mistreat your own daughter but raise another woman’s child so well. You’re really something aren’t you? And so what if you have many brothers? Are you suggesting they’d dare do something reckless like murder or arson?"

Liu Daniu smugly replied, "Although Jiaojiao isn’t my biological child, she’s like my own daughter. I raised her, and she will take care of me when I’m old. I don’t care about blood relations."

Xia Guilan sneered at Liu Daniu, "Last year when our village went to Liuxia Hamlet to help build a canal, under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village, I heard people saying your Jiaojiao resembles widow Qian to a tee. I also heard that your husband and widow Qian used to be an item until you tore them apart..."
