Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Aftermath of the Murder
The story of Mrs. Huang's robbery and murder soon spread in the village, like pouring a little cold water into a hot oil pot, and the village exploded immediately.
The people of Ota Village have always been simple, and the most outrageous thing is only some fights, widows stealing people, stealing some grain from the fields, etc., and such things have never happened to make money and kill people.
When it comes to this incident, everyone has relatives in their hearts, and the murder case is certainly terrifying, but what really makes everyone uneasy is that they don't know who did this murder, whether it was people from other villages who sneaked into Datian Village in the middle of the night to commit the crime, or was it simply the villagers who brutally killed Mrs. Huang?
The villagers shuddered at the thought that the truth of the matter was most likely the latter.
The lonely and widowed elderly people in the village, such as the five guarantee households, have become self-endangered for a while, for fear that if they are not careful, they will also follow in the footsteps of Mrs. Huang.
Those second-rate people who are idle and always like to wander around the village suddenly discover a strange phenomenon - every time they go out, there will always be some not very kind eyes, with a bit of speculation on them.
Zhou Cheng, as the secretary of the village party committee, first reported to the police on the day of the incident, but he didn't see a figure in the afternoon, and then called to ask, but the other party refused to answer positively, only said that the police force was not enough, and he couldn't send manpower for a while. ”
Zhou Cheng was angry enough, and Mrs. Huang's body was parked at home for three days, and finally the village committee stepped forward to take care of her funeral.
During this period, the village committee also specially convened an emergency meeting of the villagers.
Zhou Cheng looked solemn about this matter and put forward several points, most of which warned the villagers to be vigilant and how to better implement anti-theft measures.
Elderly people who live alone must live with their children if they have children.
As for those five-guarantee households and the elderly and weak women and children who lack young and middle-aged people in their families, Zhou Cheng suggested that they negotiate on their own to see if they can live together temporarily.
Before the end of the conference, he mentioned in passing the matter of gold to buy food.
At this time, it was only the early days of the apocalypse, and everyone did not have a complete understanding of the harsh living environment in the apocalypse, so the attention to materials was far from enough.
Zhou Cheng talked for a long time, and in the end, only a few families who were seriously short of food and food put together some gold goods, and then sent a representative to follow Zhou Cheng to the market.
After the meeting, the three brothers of the Liang family and Mrs. Liang sat together and began to discuss.
There was a murder in Datian Village, and the object was a lonely and widowed old woman, and Mrs. Liang was stubborn, and she knew that this time she had to live with her sons no matter what.
However, who the old lady lives with, the three brothers have their own opinions.
Liang Xuebing thinks that he is the eldest son in the family, and his mother should naturally live with him.
Liang Xuetao said that he was happy with his mother, and he was not reluctant, and then told the old lady about decorating the room.
At this time, Liang Xuejun jumped out again: "My family has a simple population and a clean place, so it is most suitable for my mother to live with me." ”
Liang Xuetao sat on the wall and watched, watching Liang Xuebing and Liang Xuejun argue for a long time, the old lady's head hurt when she heard it, and she didn't fight for a result.
Mrs. Liang was impatient, put the porcelain cup in her hand on the table, and when she saw her three sons looking at her, she immediately said coldly: "You brothers come in turns, and the family lives for four months." ”
This arrangement, although it is a bit troublesome, is fair.
Liang Xuetao naturally had no objections, and nodded one after another.
The next day, everyone first cleaned up the house where the old lady was going to live.
Liang Xuebing's house has been around for some years, and most of the repairs in recent years have been some beams, peeling bricks and tiles on the outside, and the furniture has hardly been cleaned up.
Throw what should be thrown, add what should be added, after a busy day, the room is finally cleaned up.
Early the next morning, Liang Xuebing and Yu Xiaofen took Mrs. Liang over, and some of the food in the old lady's house also moved away.
He Wei stared at those big bags of food with a pair of hanging eyes, seeing that they were all moved into Liang Xuebing's house, his heart hurt as if he was cutting meat, and he couldn't help muttering a few words to Liang Xuejun after returning home.
Liang Xuejun didn't say anything at first, but she chattered like a machine gun, hinting that the old lady was partial.
After listening to it too much, he felt a little unhappy in his heart, and couldn't help but retort: "Those things were bought by my second brother, what does it have to do with us?" ”
He Wei glared at him: "What's wrong with the second brother, if you give it to your mother, it's naturally your mother's, since you say that you have three sons and a family for four months, shouldn't the things in your mother's hands be shared to be fair, now it's good, it's all gone to the eldest brother, why?" If you want me to say that you are poor and generous, and you still have the face to mention your second brother to me, do you know how many vegetables are hoarded in people's cellars, and how many grains, oils, rice and noodles are hidden at home? Can we compare with others? Don't follow me, this bit of chewing at home is enough to eat for four or five months, and then I will see you drink the northwest wind! ”
Liang Xuejun pouted secretly, if you hadn't stopped you from buying this and that, there would have been so much food at home! But thinking so in his heart, he didn't dare to say it, smiled and coaxed He Wei a few words, and then swore a promise: "If there is really no food at home at that time, I will ask the eldest brother and second brother to get some, and my brother will only say a word!" ”
"A word thing?" He Wei snorted coldly: "Don't brag, why did you pat your chest and promise me before borrowing a car from your second brother?" As a result, did you borrow it? ”
"Didn't I explain it to you? That's because the second brother is afraid that the sister-in-law will have an idea in her heart so she refuses to borrow, do you think, what if you lend it to us, and the sister-in-law opens her mouth with him again? You also know that in this situation, diesel is not easy to get. So the second brother simply didn't borrow anyone, and there was an unpleasant quarrel between you concubines in the province. ”
Liang Xuejun rubbed his hands, licked his face and asked, "Daughter-in-law, didn't the eldest brother send a few elbows?" How about I make you sauce and eat elbow in the evening? ”
"Don't divert the conversation from me!" He Wei glanced at him, and couldn't help but laugh with a "poof".
At the same time, Liang Xuebing and his wife were also dealing with this matter at home.
Liang Xuebing's personality and temper follow Mrs. Liang, he is rigid and serious, and he hates those things that take advantage of small things.
He didn't think about it for a while when he moved the old lady, but afterwards he figured out that something was wrong, counted the amount of rice, flour, grain and oil he took from the old lady, and then ordered Yu Xiaofen with a solemn face: "You divide the food brought by your mother into three parts, and I will send it to Taozi and Junzi at night, there are many people here, it's too eye-catching." ”
He is a man of his own words at home, and he has always been the same, Yu Xiaofen looked at him and hesitated for a long time, but he didn't dare to persuade him.
