The car butler's wife originally thought that her husband and son had been out for an hour and should almost come back, after all, the place where Chang Yutang lived was not too far from his house.

But the left-class car butler and Che Luping didn't come back, and the right-class car butler and Che Luping still didn't go home, let alone an hour, and they waited until the second half of the night, and their father and son didn't come back.

The car steward's wife is quite anxious, she hasn't come back so late, it seems that this matter is not going well, she has taken out hundreds of taels of silver, can't this matter be done?

The car butler's wife was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and she didn't sleep, but walked around the hall, muttering and muttering, in short, wondering if something was wrong, why didn't her husband and son come back yet?

Her daughter-in-law was also quite anxious, but she could stabilize her emotions, so she persuaded the wife of the car butler on the side, telling her not to worry, maybe Chang Yutang left their father and son to drink, the more they talked, the happier they became, and as a result, they drank too much, and the two stayed at Chang Yutang's house to stay.

The car steward's wife thought about it, this possibility is also there, but in the past, the car steward rarely stayed outside, besides, they went to talk about things, even if they drank some wine, they could only order to the end, if they drank too much, in case they said something that should not be said, wouldn't it make things more troublesome!

But it was too late, and even if the two of them were suspicious, they had no way to go out and look for it, so they could only wait at home, until it was almost dawn, and the two women couldn't stand it anymore, so they went back to their rooms to sleep.

But the two of them didn't sleep honestly, but after squinting for a while, they both got up again when it was dawn, the daughter-in-law went to be responsible for cooking, and the car butler's wife kept looking at the door while taking care of the little grandson, hoping that the husband and son could come back soon, but the car steward and Che Luping still did not come back.

The wife of the car butler said to her daughter-in-law: "I always feel that something is going to happen, otherwise you take care of the children at home, I will go to the chief and ask him to help, go to Chang Yutang's house to find their father and son!" ”

The daughter-in-law said, "Do you need to invite the chief?" I heard that Chang Yutang's home is not far from here, otherwise I'll look for it, anyway, it's already dawn now, it's best not to let outsiders know about our family and Chang Yutang! ”

The car steward's wife thought for a while and said, "You're right, it's best for outsiders to know about this matter in our family, so you can go, isn't it Bailiu Village?" It's really not too far from here, you can go back quickly! ”

The daughter-in-law nodded in agreement, and hurriedly went out and rushed to Bailiu Village.

The car steward's wife sat at home, she fed her little grandson first, but she had no appetite, she always felt that something was going to happen, although she couldn't think of what would happen, but she just had such a premonition, an ominous premonition.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and someone ran towards the car house, stopped outside the courtyard, and began to knock on the door!

The car steward's wife stood up all of a sudden, and for some reason, two words "finished" appeared in her heart.

I heard the person knocking on the door outside shouting: "Old sister-in-law, old sister-in-law, something happened, you open the door quickly, the old brother of the car steward and your son are all dead, they are hanged in the woods, and the corpses are already hard!" ”

The wife of the car steward screamed, and immediately ran over to open the courtyard door, and saw a townsman from the same town standing outside, not too young, still holding half a piece of firewood in his hand, probably when he went out to collect firewood in the morning, he saw the corpses of the car steward and Che Luping.

The steward's wife exclaimed, "Are you mistaken? How could my head of the family and his son hang themselves, and there is nothing in our family that can't be thought of! ”

The villagers outside said: "It was your daughter-in-law who saw it, and then she shouted, whether she was mistaken, you can go and see if you will know, you should hurry up and call someone to carry their bodies home!" ”

The car steward's wife hurried out, and she didn't have to go door to door to find someone, she just stopped at the intersection in the town, and then shouted: "Help, someone, something's wrong, come and help!" ”

Just like that, almost the whole town heard it, and they came out to see what was going on.

The car housekeeper's wife ran back to the house at this time and hugged her little grandson, she was afraid that there would be no one at home and something would happen to the child.

Everyone rushed to the woods where the accident happened, but in fact, this forest was not too far from the town, and it was not big, it was not a dense forest, and it was winter, and the trees had no leaves, so it was relatively easy to see if there was anyone hanging in the woods.

Before they had reached the place, they heard someone crying in the woods, and the butler's wife knew that the crying man was her daughter-in-law.

The car butler's wife thought to herself, "It's over, this must be an accident!" ”

She was still holding her little grandson, and when she heard her daughter-in-law's cry, she was in a trance for a while, and her feet were weak and she fell to the ground, and she and her little grandson fell to the ground, and the little grandson immediately cried.

But the wife of the car butler got up from the ground, pushed the little grandson into the neighbor's arms, and then she ran to the side of the woods with her own rolls, and when she entered the woods, she saw two people hanging on the trees, and it was really her husband, the car butler and her son, Che Luping.

At this time, the neighbors who came to help also arrived, and they were also surprised to see the car steward and Che Luping on the tree, and the people who quarreled with others yesterday were now hanging on the tree, which is really shocking!

The neighbors hurriedly took the bodies of the two men from the trees and carried them back into the town.

An old neighbor on the road said, "Old sister-in-law, this is a little wrong, could it be yesterday?" But your elder brother and eldest nephew actually hanged themselves, I really can't figure this out. I have lived for such a long time, but I have heard that the rich man forced the tenant to die, but I have never heard of the tenant forcing the rich man to die. ”

The wife of the car steward looked at the bodies of her husband and son, and she cried and said, "Maybe it wasn't the tenants who forced them to die, maybe it was the people who fought the lawsuit that forced them to die!" ”

The neighbors next to him didn't understand what he said, and for ordinary people, they might not be able to fight a lawsuit in their lives, so naturally they didn't know enough about people like litigants, and most of them had never heard of Chang Yutang's name at all.

With the help of the neighbors, the bodies of the car steward and Che Luping were placed in his house, and the elders in the town ran to buy coffins for them, no matter how the car steward and Che Luping died, and why, but the funeral behind him still had to be managed.

Now that only orphans and widows are left in the housekeeper's house, the neighbors naturally help.

At this time, the daughter-in-law said to the wife of the car butler: "Mother-in-law, this thing is not right, my father-in-law and my man are not desperate people when they encounter trouble, how can they hang themselves, I feel that this thing is really wrong!" ”
