Chapter 42: The Truth of the Year
Han Yu walked into the interrogation room, Bai Yifan also followed, while Ye Xiaoxiao and Cheng Jiaxuan were in the room next to them.
Cheng Xiuxiu watched them come in and smiled politely, still so gentle.
"Cheng Gang's death is not an accident, right?"
"Well, man, I killed it." Cheng Xiuxiu admitted directly, except for Han Yu and Cheng Jiaxuan, the other two were a little surprised. Just now, Han Yu and Cheng Jiaxuan were on the other side, and they already knew some about the past from Chunmei's mouth, but they didn't have time to say it yet.
Cheng Xiuxiu's tone was gentle, but very tired, as if she had experienced a very cruel and hard war, and it was finally over. "I killed him, I don't regret it, I came here today to turn myself in."
"Why today?"
Cheng Xiuxiu showed a wry smile, "I have been in this city for many years, and I have to arrange the rest of the things first, so that I can have no worries." I will tell everything in detail, and I will not hide anything from it. ”
It was an era more than 20 years ago, and there was a place called Chengjia Village. As the name suggests, people in this village have used the same surname for generations, and Cheng Xiuxiu is a girl here. Their family was very poor, her parents only gave birth to her, and there was originally a younger brother, but she fell ill and died when she was a child.
Cheng Xiuxiu has been very well-behaved since she was a child, and when she was seventeen years old, she became more and more beautiful. She has a small hair named Cheng Chunmei, the two are the same age, and they are neighbors, they have played together since childhood, and they have a very good relationship. Cheng Chunmei's family is not very good, but it is much better than Cheng Xiuxiu.
Cheng Xiuxiu is as her name suggests, not only beautiful, but also petite. And although Cheng Chunmei is actually quite good, she is tall. Chengjia Village is a relatively closed place, everyone's aesthetics are a little traditional, boys prefer the petite and lovely Cheng Xiuxiu, for Cheng Chunmei, I always feel that she is more like a man. In the face of these evaluations, Cheng Chunmei was naturally dissatisfied, and gradually had a gap with Cheng Xiuxiu.
It was the beautiful age of seventeen or eighteen years old, and the boys liked Cheng Xiuxiu very much, and secretly rated her as the best-looking person in the village. Since ancient times, the emphasis has been on the right people, and although the boys are very enthusiastic, their parents are very realistic.
In the words of those village elders, "If you look so good, you will definitely not be safe in the future." ”
"She is the only one in the family, and the conditions are not good, so it will be a burden in the future."
......
There are all kinds of words, Cheng Xiuxiu is sad to listen to, but there is nothing she can do. Among those who like Cheng Xiuxiu, there is a boy who is particularly persistent, and that is Cheng Gang. Cheng Gang is tall and burly, with good facial features and a cheerful personality, and he is very familiar with everyone in the village.
But the most tricky thing about fate is that Cheng Xiuxiu has a favorite person, who is from the next village, called Wu Chao. He is the same age as Cheng Xiuxiu, has a gentle personality, not as burly as Cheng Gang, but has an elegant scholarly atmosphere. He is the son of the village chief next door, and his family conditions are good, and when Cheng Xiuxiu was still living in a dilapidated old house, their family had already built a building.
At that time, every household liked to move around, even the next village, it was close, and young people were very familiar with it. Wu Chao is a rare scholar in the village because his family conditions are not bad, and his ancestors have been farming for generations, but his father insists that only by studying hard can there be a way out. Wu Chao and Cheng Xiuxiu also knew each other for a long time, as Cheng Xiuxiu grew up and became more and more beautiful, Wu Chao also began to like her, the two of them were in love, but no one said anything.
And Cheng Chunmei knows all these things, she is Cheng Xiuxiu's best friend, so Cheng Xiuxiu will tell her everything without the slightest concealment. What Cheng Xiuxiu didn't know was that she had always been a good best friend who liked Cheng Gang, but Cheng Gang was obsessed with Cheng Xiuxiu. Seeing Cheng Xiuxiu's more and more beautiful appearance and being welcomed by many people, Cheng Chunmei's jealousy began to burn slowly, and she planned a conspiracy to overturn the fate of several people.
I don't know when it started, there was a rumor among the people in the village that Cheng Xiuxiu liked Wu Chao and went to seduce him. One spread ten, and soon everyone spread this matter, all of which were said that Cheng Xiuxiu was shameless, and the toad wanted to eat swan meat, so he went to seduce the son of the village chief because he had a good face.
There are countless words like this, Cheng Xiuxiu's parents scolded her indiscriminately, even if Cheng Xiuxiu explained many times, it had no effect, but she was still locked at home by her parents and not allowed to go out. And Wu Chao proposed to his father to marry Cheng Xiuxiu, but was rejected by his father's words, he wanted to see Cheng Xiuxiu, knowing that Cheng Chunmei had a good relationship with her, so he asked her for help, every time Cheng Chunmei agreed, but every time there were various reasons for them not to meet.
When Cheng Xiuxiu was locked up, Cheng Chunmei found Cheng Gang and told her heart. Cheng Gang is a very infatuated boy, he has always liked Cheng Xiuxiu, and he rejected Cheng Chunmei without thinking about it.
For Cheng Chunmei, this is humiliation, and she blames all the faults on Cheng Xiuxiu. So, she secretly made up her mind to snatch Cheng Xiuxiu's favorite things.
It was a midsummer night, and Wu Chao came to see Cheng Xiuxiu again, and she was still locked up at home by her parents. And Cheng Chunmei told Wu Chao that there was a passage from her backyard to Cheng Xiuxiu's room, because the two families were neighbors, and when they were children, they made a passage privately, so that it was convenient to go over and play directly.
Wu Chao is simple-minded, plus several people have known each other since childhood, and he followed Cheng Chunmei without suspicion, and he would not know that what was waiting for him was not Cheng Xiuxiu, who was in his heart, but a trap designed by Cheng Chunmei.....
The next morning, there was a scream from Cheng Chunmei's home, and within a while, everyone nearby knew that Wu Chao and Cheng Chunmei were together.
Wu Chao's father is a face-saving person, and immediately let Wu Chao and Cheng Chunmei get married, and it is always said that the two young people have been in love for a long time, not long after they got married, it happened that many rural people went to the city, and Wu Chao and Cheng Chunmei also went. Since then, Cheng Xiuxiu has never seen the two of them again, she used to be the most beautiful person in the village, but now she has become a joke in the village, and people talk behind her back wherever she goes.
Cheng Xiuxiu's parents were also very anxious, in those days, it was normal to get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, but Cheng Xiuxiu had a bad reputation because of these things, and now no one dares to ask her at all. Until one day, Cheng Gang came to the door to ask for marriage, and Cheng Xiuxiu's parents immediately agreed to the marriage, and from beginning to end, they didn't ask Cheng Xiuxiu's opinion. For Cheng Xiuxiu's parents, the most important thing is that their daughter is married. As for Cheng Xiuxiu, she was betrayed by her favorite and best friend, and laughed at by the people in the village, and she was already heartbroken.
After the two got married, Cheng Gang was really good to Cheng Xiuxiu, maybe he finally married the goddess in his heart. He knew that Cheng Xiuxiu had experienced those things, so he was very well-behaved. He was afraid that the sun would burn her, so he made her a big hat. He was afraid that she would be tired from doing housework, so he took on a lot of the housework at home. Time has slowly passed, and the relationship between Cheng Xiuxiu and Cheng Gang is not as rusty as it was at the beginning.
The days of peace did not last long before they were broken again. Cheng Gang's mother is a tough woman, not only to manage her husband, but also to manage her son, and even her daughter-in-law. At the beginning, Cheng Gang would stop her, but she always nagged in front of Cheng Gang, telling them that they must have a son in order to have face and inherit their ancestors.
After all, she is her own mother, and she talks about it every day, and Cheng Gang has also been affected. The matter between Cheng Xiuxiu and Wu Chao back then, the people in the two villages knew that those gossips Cheng Gang knew better than anyone else, and after a long time, he always had a problem in his heart, so he pinned his hopes on Cheng Xiuxiu's pregnancy. But Cheng Xiuxiu's stomach never responded, not to mention her son, and she didn't even have any movement of pregnancy. Cheng Gang's mother found a lot of home remedies for her to drink, but Cheng Xiuxiu had no choice but to drink them, but there was still no movement. Cheng Gang's mother's face became more and more ugly, and the words she said every day became more and more ugly, Cheng Xiuxiu didn't say anything, just endured it.
