Due to the investigation and confirmation of many villagers, the suspicion of Zhang Xiaoqiang was temporarily ruled out. The drowning of the widow Wang, the nonsense of Ou Lanlan, this small village, such a strange incident during the Spring Festival, everyone is talking about it.

Under the big locust tree, the crowd of people in twos and threes were talking about this.

In the courtyard of Lao Zhang's house, Zhou Congxiang squeezed out tears, I don't know whether she was laughing or crying, she was sad that the matter of the new house might be in vain. What made her even more angry, the New Year's Day, encountered such an unfortunate thing.

Everyone in the family was there, except for Zhang Yongchang, who went to the river to keep a wake for the widow Wang. Zhang honestly smacked dry smoke, and couldn't let out a fart for a while.

Zhang Yongliang's black triangular eyes were purring, and he slapped his thigh and said, "Didn't our Yongchang have a relationship with Wang Daling?" In this way, they are legal husband and wife, and Yongchang is the heir to this Wang Daling's property. ”

Zhou Congxiang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, this is worthy of being a son who is a planner, and he will settle accounts very much.

Li Mei is a teacher, she thinks more, she said: "Wang Daling has her own mother's family, will they be willing?" ”

Zhang Yongguang yawned and said: "This Yongchang is honest, I didn't expect to pick up a big bargain this time, just the old house is worth a lot of money." I heard that Wang Daling still has a lot of gold in his hands, and this time the third child has made a fortune. ”

Zhou Congxiang's triangular eyes began to shine, and she was playing her wishful thinking in her heart.

Zhang Yongchang walked to the river with heavy steps, and in the black and white curtains, on the bare bed boards. Lying lies the widow of the king, the woman with whom she has a marriage contract, the nominal wife.

His face was covered with a piece of hemp paper. She will lie quietly this time, the previous arrogant and unreasonable, there is no shadow.

The police handed her the woman's relics, two gold rings, a gold bracelet, and a wad of money. Zhang Yongchang couldn't reach out his hands to pick it up, and the policeman comrade said, "This is the item on your wife's body." ”

Zhang Yongchang hummed expressionlessly. A butt sat on a straw bag.

It was getting dark, and the white candles reflected the black reed beach.

Zhang Yongchang didn't feel a trace of fear, he just wanted to fulfill the responsibility of a nominal husband. Give her one last ride.

A year ago, also by the river, when the widow Wang was pulling a cart of wheat, the kind-hearted Zhang Yongchang helped push it. He saw the king's widow struggling. Kindly delivered to your doorstep. Because he was afraid of the villagers gossiping, he didn't go in. When the widow saw that Zhang Yongchang was white and honest, she was overjoyed.

Zhang Yongchang didn't have any feelings for Widow Wang at all, but just did his best to go to the countryside party.

Widow Wang knew that Zhang Yongchang had been single for a few years, so she found someone to come to the door to say goodbye. The matchmaker promoted this for the people, saying that she could build a house after she got married. In this way, the money-hungry Zhou Congxiang only agrees.

The heart of the widow is relatively alone. The body is lazy, can't accommodate children, and has a lot of problems. Just got married and was exposed. Zhang Yongchang married her, and the two have never had sex together, so this widow cuckolded him.

Who knows, Zhang Yongchang should not have seen it, and he was even more alienated from her.

This made her feel even more angry. She couldn't accept this kind of cold violence, she deliberately provoked trouble and beat the child to attract Zhang Yongchang's attention. As it turned out, the effort was in vain.

In the end, she made an idea about Zhang Chen, who had no culture, and she thought that Zhang Chen passed on to a rich family, and she could exchange a few dollars to spend and relieve her anger.

Everything was all selfish desires that harmed her.

A rabbit in a hurry will bite people to death, let alone a big living person, a big man.

What I didn't expect was that during the Chinese New Year, I would die in the river.

Not far away, there was another person, Wang Xiangyang, he felt sorry for his aunt, and there was no way to tell the truth of the matter, so he could only rot in his stomach.

He walked over with a bottle of liquor in his hand. He knelt and kowtowed three times, then toasted three glasses of wine.

Then he sat next to Zhang Yongchang and said to this brother-in-law: "You may not know who I am, I am her nephew, I have been doing business outside, and I only came back a year ago." I met my aunt a few days ago, and she went to my house for the Chinese New Year, but today she is lying down forever. ”

Zhang Yongchang really didn't know who it was, but after listening to his introduction, he knew.

Two big men came to guard the spirit together, Wang Xiangyang handed over the wine and said, "Drink some and warm up." ”

Zhang Yongchang took the wine bottle and took a few sips. He was overwhelmed by the strength of alcohol, and suddenly felt dizzy, remembering too many past events, and actually cried.

Wang Xiangyang thought that his brother-in-law was too sad, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Brother-in-law, mourn, people can't be resurrected after death." ”

Zhang Yongchang saw Wu Lan, his son, and his daughter, especially when he thought of his son and daughter who were going to be separated, he thought that he had no ability, so he was even more sad and sad.

This night was spent like this.

When it was almost dawn, Zhang Yongchang woke up in a daze, the fire was in full swing, and he could hardly remember how he came last night.

Wang Xiangyang was wrapped in a coat and slept next to him, desperately thinking about who this person introduced himself yesterday.

Zhang Yongchang woke up Wang Xiangyang, and the two continued to roast the fire. After a while, the widow's maiden brother and sister-in-law came. They cried out that the miserable Yuyu had encountered such misfortune and the corpse of the wilderness.

Wang Xiangyang cried while listening to what he was saying, and his tears also flowed.

Zhou Congxiang, in order to get the inheritance of the widow Wang, she pretended to be very sad. So he asked his son to ask a deacon (for help) in the village, choose a tomb, and dig the grave first.

According to the customs of rural people, this daughter-in-law is ready to be buried, so that everyone knows that their family knows the number of etiquette, affection and righteousness. The most important thing is to let the people of Widow Wang's mother's family see it, and remind Wang Daling that she is the daughter-in-law of the old Zhang family, and she will be buried in the land of the old Zhang family after her death.

The police once again stepped into Ou's house, and Ou Lanlan was completely sober at this time. She described to the police the appearance of the man who threw her and the widow into the river.

In her thinking, just finding out this man, Zhang Xiaoqiang's crime of murder with others was established.

When the police gathered all the men in the village who looked similar to Ou Lanlan's description, they asked Ou Lanlan to identify them one by one, but she looked at everyone and looked like no one. The police drew a sketch according to this appearance and clothing, and pasted it all over the village, and the people were panicked.

Wang Xiangyang, in addition to dealing with his aunt's funeral, he accompanied Ou Lanlan, and the secrets in the hearts of the two of them did not dare to be revealed. In the end, Wang Xiangyang asked Ou Lanlan to pretend to be too frightened to cover up the matter, and it was over. (To be continued.) )
