Chapter 172: Suicide
Mo Yanfei walked into the hall and saw a white coffin on the ground. There were two women burning paper on the side.
Mo Yanfei walked to the coffin, held the coffin with his hand and said, "I'm with Sister Mingxia, she's gone, I want to see her for the last time." ”
The two paper-burning women also worked in the Zhang family, so they naturally recognized Mo Yanfei, and they persuaded: "Miss Mo, Mingxia was hanged, it looks too ugly, you better stop looking at it." ”
Mo Yanfei pushed the lid of the coffin, only a little bit, and she looked at Zhou Feng.
Zhou Feng said: "You stand back." ”
Mo Yanfei took a step back, and Zhou Feng pushed the coffin lid down with force.
Mo Yanfei gritted his teeth and stepped forward and glanced at the person in the coffin.
Although the person in the coffin had a purple complexion, his eyes were slightly closed, and his tongue was sticking out of his lips, Mo Yanfei still recognized this as Mingxia at a glance.
Zhou Feng saw that Mo Yanfei's face was wrong, and immediately closed the lid of the coffin. helped Mo Yanfei out of the hall and persuaded: "The person has already left, don't be sad." ”
Mo Yanfei's mind was a little confused, she sat on the steps in front of the door, and asked the two men in the courtyard, "Hu Laosan?" ”
The people in the courtyard said: "Hu Laosan went to Zhang Luoren, picked a grave, and went to the funeral tomorrow morning." ”
Mo Yanfei raised his eyebrows: "Tomorrow's funeral?" ”
The man explained: "Alas, Mingxia's child died a mistake and can't stay at home for long, so the funeral is scheduled for tomorrow." ”
Mo Yanfei thought for a while, "You just said that something happened to Hu Laosan Casino yesterday?" ”
"Well, two outsiders came yesterday, and they won and lost at the beginning in the casino, and then the more they gambled, the bigger they gambled, and in the last game, the third child could lose seven or eight hundred yuan."
"Just let the outsiders take the money?" Mo Yanfei was really unbelievable, she knew that casinos were all about winning or losing.
The man said with a sad face: "No way, a few of us didn't stop people, so we are not ordinary people." ”
Mo Yanfei understood, the other party had already prepared, this was obviously a game, but Mo Yanfei didn't know who the dealer was.
Zhou Feng glanced at Mo Yanfei and said, "Don't sit on the steps, go to the house and sit and wait for Hu Laosan." ”
Mo Yanfei rubbed his face with his hands, got up and walked into the hall again, and said to the two women in the room: "That is Mingxia's room, I want to see it." ”
A woman pointed to the door on the west side, "Mingxia lives here, and she also hanged herself on that beam." ”
Mo Yanfei picked up the curtain and walked in, and saw that the house was clean. She walked over to the dresser and began rummaging, hoping to see something of value.
The two women looked at Mo Yanfei in horror, they didn't understand what Mo Yanfei was trying to do.
Zhou Feng explained: "No one will commit suicide for no reason, Miss Mo wants to find out the reason for Mingxia's suicide. ”
The woman sighed, "I still need to ask what the reason is, her father lost the money, and she promised her to the old Xu family on the front street to fill the house, but she didn't want to." ”
Mo Yanfei stopped the movement of his hand and turned around, looked at the woman and asked, "Didn't her father lose the money yesterday?" ”
"What, the Xu family's family affairs were decided three months ago, Mingxia originally wanted to take the fourth master's money to reward her, and just returned the Xu family's family affairs, but she didn't expect this father who had no conscience to take the money to the casino. This time, that broken casino loses money every day. Seeing that the wedding date is coming, Mingxia really has no tricks, so she can't think of it. ”
Mo Yanfei muttered to himself: "It's a little interesting." ”
She sat on the kang and said to the two women: "You go and get busy, I'll wait for Hu Laosan to come back, say a few words and leave." ”
Zhou Feng glanced at Mo Yanfei, didn't say anything, and sat on the other side.
Mo Yanfei closed his eyes, recalling the way Mingxia followed Jing'er and didn't say much.
About an hour later, there was a noise of footsteps outside the yard.
"Hu Laosan, you come out." Someone shouted at the gate of the courtyard.
Mo Yanfei opened his eyes and looked out of the window, and saw five or six men standing at the gate of the courtyard, led by a man in his forties, wearing a black oil silk horse coat, fat and strong, with a horizontal face.
The man in the courtyard hurriedly said: "Master Xu, the third child has not come back since he went to choose the cemetery, what do you have to say in the courtyard." ”
Xu Ye glanced at the man and snorted coldly: "Hu Laosan doesn't need to hide, I spent 200 yuan to marry his girl on the eighth day of the first month, and now there are two days to go, and I have to get a yellow flower girl in the sedan chair for me." ”
The man persuaded: "Master Xu, you also saw it, Mingxia couldn't think about it for a while, isn't this leaving, where do you let the third child go to get the girl." You are also considered to have relatives, so let's discuss it. ”
Xu Yepi said with a smile: "His girl is gone, and I don't embarrass him, he has to return the original dowry money to me intact." ”
The man nodded: "Yes, I will tell the third child and let him finish his work and send you the money back." ”
Xu Ye continued: "I have spent more than 100 yuan to prepare for the marriage. Let the third child send it to my house tomorrow, if he doesn't send it, I will go to the court to sue him for cheating money and marriage. ”
The man was stunned for a moment, the marriage did not work out, and the retirement gift should be paid, but he could lose money, which he had never heard of before.
He didn't dare to make decisions randomly, so he had to say: "If you say, I will definitely tell the third child." You are all members of your own family, and you are good at discussing with each other. ”
Xu Ye looked at the courtyard and said, "I will send someone to get the money at six o'clock tonight, and if the money is not settled, her girl will not want to be buried." ”
After Xu Ye finished speaking, he left the Hu family with people.
Mo Yanfei rubbed her temples, she now understood why Mingxia would rather commit suicide than marry Xu Ye.
Zhou Feng said: "Hungry, let's go eat some food first, and then come back and wait for Hu Laosan." ”
Mo Yanfei thought for a while: "Let's go back, Mingxia is already gone, and it doesn't matter if you see Hu Laosan or not." ”
The two of them walked out of the West House, and there were two women sitting in the hall burning paper, and they hurriedly stood up when they saw Mo Yanfei coming out.
Mo Yanfei said to the two of them: "I won't wait for Hu Laosan, I'll go back first." ”
Mo Yanfei walked out of the hall after speaking, and said to the man in the courtyard, "Goodbye!" After that, he strode out of the yard.
The two of them got on the motorcycle, and Mo Yanfei said to Zhou Feng: "I have a headache, you can send me home." ”
Zhou Feng asked worriedly, "Let's go see a doctor, don't catch a cold." ”
Mo Yanfei shook his head: "I'll just get some sleep." ”
Zhou Feng sent Mo Yanfei to the door of Mo's house, Mo Yanfei got off the motorcycle and whispered: "Thank you!" "Turn around and go into the house.
Zhou Feng was a little disappointed, it was noon, and it stands to reason that Mo Yanfei should politely invite him to his home for a casual lunch. Even if it's just a polite remark.
Zhou Feng smiled bitterly, started the motorcycle, and left in front of the Mo family.
