Chapter 50: The Motive for the Killing
Zhang glared at Lin fiercely: "Where is the old lady's son getting your turn to talk!" ”
Lin opened his mouth to refute, but in Zhang's vicious eyes, he could only close his mouth very depressed in the end.
I don't know how she slandered her mother-in-law in her heart......
When Master Chen and others took Li Xiaoya back to the county office, Xie Jinlan had already finished freshening up, restored his true face, and changed into the brocade clothes he wore in the past.
After letting Master Chen bring Li Xiaoya to the conference hall, Xie Jinlan waved his hand to Master Chen, Li Zhukuai and the others: "You guys go down first." ”
Master Chen's face showed a little hesitation, and after glancing at Li Xiaoya, who was silent with her head lowered, he turned around and bowed to Xie Jinlan: "Yes, my lord." The next official retired first! ”
Looking at the figure of Master Chen taking the lead in leaving, Li Zhukuai glanced at each other, and then bowed to Xie Jinlan, and then left the meeting hall. When they reached the door, they closed it with them.
In a huge conference hall, there are only two people and one ghost left at the moment.
Xie Jinlan turned around and slowly approached Li Xiaoya.
It wasn't until his toes were about to meet Li Xiaoya's toes that he stopped.
Looking at Li Xiaoya, who was covered in dirt, Xie Jinlan's eyes flashed a little complicated: "Li Xiaoya, do you know what the official is looking for you?" ”
Li Xiaoya shook her head silently, still not raising her head.
Xie Jinlan's voice suddenly became a little sharper: "The official has already found out that you are the real murderer of Li Bao'er, can you confess?" ”
Li Xiaoya's body was obviously stiff, but she quickly relaxed.
At this time, I saw her slowly raise her head, with a few detachments in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly: "My lord, the folk girl confesses." ”
Ruan Yezhen's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, obviously she never thought that Li Xiaoya would admit the crime so quickly.
Xie Jinlan's expression also paused slightly, and then he said, "Your motive is because it is unfair?" ”
The corners of Li Xiaoya's mouth flashed with a hint of bitterness: "As early as the moment Bao'er's body was found, the folk girl knew that this day would come sooner or later." ”
After a pause, Li Xiaoya began to recall her crime process at that time.
On that day, although the sky was still dark and gloomy, it was rare to stop raining.
At noon, Li Xiaoya came back from working in the fields, but she couldn't see half a figure at home.
When I went into the kitchen, I saw that there were some leftovers on the table.
She was used to this situation, silently took the little rice left in the pot, sat down at the table and devoured it.
After Li Xiaoya finished eating, packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and was about to go out, she heard a faint cry.
She didn't want to pay attention to it, but the cry kept coming into her ears, and she couldn't help but feel a little irritable in her heart.
Following the direction of the cry, Li Xiaoya carefully pushed away the room of Li Tiegen and his wife. I looked inside by the door, but found that Li Baoer was the only one lying on the bed crying, but Lin was nowhere to be found.
At that time, a very vicious idea suddenly appeared in Li Xiaoya's mind: It would be nice if Bao'er died like this.
Once such a thought arises, it is simply impossible to stop.
Soon, the evil thoughts in Li Xiaoya's heart overcame her reason and conscience.
After tiptoeing around to check, Li Xiaoya found that Lin was squatting in the toilet and having diarrhea.
At the same time, she didn't forget to scold in her mouth:
"Chen, this slut! It must be greedy for money to buy pork! Deliberately bought spoiled pork! That's what caused me to suffer this sin! No wonder she didn't move a bite of pork today! It's so I'm holding back the bad here! Oops my stomach ......"
After confirming that the Lin family couldn't get out for a while, Li Xiaoya quickly ran to the kitchen and got a piece of linen that had been discarded in the corner a long time ago. Then he returned to the house and covered Li Baoer's mouth and nose fiercely.
When Li Baoer was struggling, she accidentally scratched Li Xiaoya's arm.
Li Xiaoya panicked, and was afraid that the Lin family would suddenly break in, so she couldn't help but increase the strength in her hand.
It wasn't until Li Bao'er didn't move anymore that Li Xiaoya collapsed on the bed, panting heavily.
After a while, Li Xiaoya suppressed the panic in her heart and stuffed the sackcloth into her arms. Then he picked up Li Bao'er's body with trembling hands and walked out of the house.
She went to the date tree in the backyard and dug up the damp dirt with her bare hands. and then buried Li Baoer in it.
After doing all this, Li Xiaoya left the house in a panic and ran to the river to wash her muddy hands.
At that time, a young man hurried by the river and greeted her with a smile.
Li Xiaoya was already a thief, so she was even more panicked.
It's just that the man didn't notice that something was wrong with her, and he didn't see how she reacted. After saying hello, the figure gradually faded away.
After washing her hands, Li Xiaoya hurriedly returned to work in the field. It wasn't until it was getting dark that she slowly returned home.
No matter how many chickens and dogs were in the family in those days, no one doubted her anything.
Li Xiaoya gradually settled down.
Maybe God can't see it, but nearly half a month later, it rained heavily for seven consecutive days.
Li Baoer's body was also rediscovered......
Licking her dry lips, Li Xiaoya continued to talk about her motives.
In Lijia Village, most families are patriarchal. And Li Xiaoya's family is even worse.
Due to the poverty of her family, Li Xiaoya has been helping her family since she can remember. She was only three years old at the time, and even if she simply wiped the table, she needed to waste the energy to breastfeed. But no one stepped forward to help.
But although she is sensible and obedient, she still can't get a good face from her grandmother Zhang.
Li Xiaoya's mother, Chen, has been unable to raise her head at home because she has not been able to give birth to a son for the Li family for many years. Therefore, no matter how much hardship she endured, no matter how tired she was, no matter how much she was provoked by Zhang, she never dared to complain about anything on her face.
The only place where Chen can vent her grievances and resentment is her daughter who crawled out of her belly. One didn't go well, she scolded Li Xiaoya. Where no one could see, she could say all kinds of ugly and vicious words.
Since Li Xiaoya's aunt Lin gave birth to a son, Li Xiaoya's situation at home has become more and more difficult.
Because the Chen family has only given birth to Li Xiaoya, a money-losing goods for so many years, the Zhang family has long seen that her eyes are not eyes and her nose is not a nose.
And the Lin family has only been married into the Li family for more than a year, and the first child gave birth to a big fat boy. With such a comparison between concubines and concubines, it is conceivable that Zhang's attitude towards Chen is even worse.
Because the grievances he suffered were worse than before, Chen's beating and scolding of Li Xiaoya became more frequent. It's just that Chen has been cautious for so many years, and no one knows......
