When Li Daniu opened his eyes, he saw the indescribable expression on Xie Jinlan's face. So he waved his hand again and again: "Jin Lan, don't get me wrong, Xiaoyu is the name of Widow Yang." ”

Xie Jinlan was stunned for an instant, but when he thought of what Li Daniu said earlier, he suddenly couldn't accept it.

Thinking of the village's evaluation of Widow Yang, Xie Jinlan risked being scolded and asked cautiously: "Brother Da Niu, are you sure that the child in Widow Yang's womb is yours?" ”

Sure enough, the next moment, Li Daniu clenched his fists and glared at Xie Jinlan angrily: "Jin Lan, if you want to say such things again, be careful that I am not polite to you!" ”

Xie Jinlan smiled: "Brother Niu, I said the wrong thing." Don't be angry. ”

Looking at the look of fear on Xie Jinlan's face, the anger in Li Daniu's heart was like being poured with a basin of cold water, which was wiped out in an instant. Then he sighed heavily:

"Jin Lan, it's no wonder you misunderstood Xiaoyu. Even I, at first, thought she was the kind of woman the villagers said she was. ”

Xie Jinlan had a little curiosity in his eyes: "Brother Da Niu, what do you mean by this, do you mean that she looks like that...... Is there a struggle? ”

Li Daniu nodded, his eyes full of pity:

Back then, not long after Xiaoyu married her husband, her husband died in an accident. She was left alone, alone in the room. Xiaoyu is beautiful, and many men in the village have bad thoughts about her. Seeing that she was alone, he always secretly harassed her.

Once, a man had a little drink, and in broad daylight he blatantly blocked her way. Pull her into an alley where no one is around. Fortunately, someone passed by at that time, and the man did not succeed and ran away in a gray manner. ”

After a pause, a little anger suddenly appeared on Li Daniu's face:

But after this incident, there was gossip in the village. said that Xiaoyu was a restless woman, that she couldn't bear the loneliness, and that not long after her husband died, she messed with wild men in broad daylight.

The man was a notoriously mischievous scoundrel in the village. Since the rumors came out, he has been telling people everywhere that Xiaoyu took the initiative to hook up with him. He also said that the two had already slept, and all kinds of disgusting and ugly words came out of his mouth.

In those days, Xiaoyu was frightened and hid in the house for several days and didn't dare to go out.

By the time she finally came out, everyone looked at her in the wrong way. After knowing those rumors, she also felt bad. But she knew she couldn't feel sorry for herself, it would only make those people laugh.

Since then, Xiaoyu has deliberately dressed herself up and gone to crowded places to stay. Even though the look in the eyes of those men made her feel disgusted. But she knew that they all wanted to be faced. Especially in the presence of other women, they don't dare to mess around at all.

When she was alone at home, Xiaoyu closed the door tightly. Especially at night, she will take a kitchen knife under her pillow when she sleeps, for fear that someone will use some method to sneak in......"

Xie Jinlan was a little puzzled: "Why doesn't she have other relatives?" ”

Li Daniu sighed heavily, and a deep distress flashed in his eyes:

"Xiaoyu is an orphan who was raised by her mother-in-law as a child daughter-in-law since she was a child. Her father-in-law had tuberculosis at an early age. Her mother-in-law, after hearing the news of her son's death, did not catch her breath and followed ......"

After listening to Li Daniu's explanation, Xie Jinlan suddenly looked ashamed: "During the day, I thought Yang was widowed...... Sister Xiaoyu, she did that to ...... I misunderstood her, it turned out that it was not easy for her to do this. ”

Li Daniu looked at Xie Jinlan puzzled: "Have you seen Xiaoyu today?" Is something going on? ”

Thinking of the scene at that time, Xie Jinlan's face turned red: "Today in the field, I happened to meet Sister Xiaoyu, and she turned out to be ...... She ......"

Looking at Xie Jinlan's unspeakable appearance, Li Daniu instantly understood, and his face couldn't help but be full of guilt:

"It's all because I'm useless and can't protect her. will make her only use the method of ruining her reputation to protect herself. ”

Xie Jinlan comforted: "Brother Niu, don't blame yourself, there will always be a solution to the matter." ”

When Li Daniu heard this, he didn't know what he thought, and instantly looked at Xie Jinlan with bright eyes, and grabbed his arm tightly:

"Jin Lan, you have read books for so many years, and your brain must be better than mine. You just have to think of a way to help Brother Niu! ”

Xie Jinlan snorted bitterly, his eyebrows twisted slightly, and the corners of his mouth barely pulled out a smile: "Brother Niu, we have something to say, can you let go of your hand first?" ”

Li Daniu's hands suddenly loosened, looked at the folds on Xie Jinlan's sleeves, and reached out embarrassedly to flatten it: "Jin Lan, I'm sorry." I'm in a hurry, don't mind. ”

Xie Jinlan smiled and shook his head: "Brother Da Niu, I know who you are." ”

Seeing that Xie Jinlan was really not angry, Li Daniu relieved himself:

"You big bull brother is stupid, can you help me think about it, what good idea do you have? In a few months, Xiaoyu's belly will be bigger, and the gossip in the village will be even more unpleasant. ”

Hearing this, Xie Jinlan couldn't help but glance at Li Daniu with some reproach:

"Brother Niu, why can't you bear it? You can't wait for your relatives to pass the clear path in the future...... It's really ...... to make it like this."

Li Daniu avoided Xie Jinlan's gaze with some embarrassment: "It's all because I drank some wine that day, and I didn't control myself and ......."

As if thinking of something, Xie Jinlan looked at Li Daniu quite seriously:

"Brother Niu, tell me honestly, what did you do the night before Li Bao'er's body was found?"

Li Daniu was so frightened that he stood up directly, and looked at Xie Jinlan in great surprise: "Jin Lan, you ...... How do you know this? ”

Xie Jinlan looked at Li Da Niu with suspicion: "Brother Da Niu, what are you doing in such a panic?" Could it be that you have done something bad? ”

Li Daniu waved his hand again and again: "No, no, I haven't had time to do this bad thing!" ”

Xie Jinlan's face instantly became serious: "Brother Da Niu, it's not that I don't believe you. It's just that if you don't tell me, where you went and what you did that night. I really don't know if I should help you or not. ”

Li Da Niu was suddenly a little embarrassed: "Jin Lan, it's not that I don't want to tell you. It's just that I promised others that I couldn't say it. ”

Xie Jinlan grabbed Li Daniu's shoulders and looked straight into his eyes:

"Brother Niu, it's not that I want you to be untrustworthy. It's just that the person who keeps you secret, can you really be trusted? Could that man have some other purpose? ”
