Seeing that someone sent rice and noodles, and found a reason for Dali, Zhang's sister-in-law couldn't even take care of eating, and instructed Dali to take care of her family, so she took Yichun and Yan Heyi to Widow Liu's house immediately.

Widow Liu's situation is very different from that of Sister-in-law Zhang, when her man died, it was the day after she passed the door. As soon as she entered her mother-in-law's house, her husband died, and Widow Liu inevitably became infamous as a "Kefu". The married girl spilled the water, she couldn't go back to her mother's house, and her mother-in-law's family didn't go well, and finally the two families discussed an idea and put her in a nunnery to lead the practice.

"Hey, this eldest sister's life is also bitter, if his man has an accident two days earlier, she can also marry another family. After such a thing, no one dared to ask her anymore. I don't have any children around, how can I live in the future? Sister-in-law Zhang was nagging while leading the way in front.

Yan Heyi knew for the first time that there was still a nunnery "hidden" in the town. Although it is a nunnery, it is just an ordinary two-entry courtyard. Sister-in-law Zhang went to knock on the door, and after a while, a little nun came out to open the door, saw a male guest, and said in embarrassment, "Several donors, this is a nunnery, it is late, there is a lot of inconvenience, please come again tomorrow!" ”

"Little Master, we are here to find Widow Liu, there is really something important, please call her out, say a few words and we will leave!" Sister-in-law Zhang stood forward and blocked Yan Heyi. The little nun thought for a moment and said, "Then please wait a moment, and I'll go talk to her." ”

A moment later, the door opened again, and this time it was a woman of twenty-four or five years old, with a woman's hair in a bun. Yan Heyi took a look and was slightly surprised. Listening to what Zhang's sister-in-law said, Widow Liu was disgusted by both her mother's family and her mother-in-law's family, and she lived a very hard life in a nunnery. But the person in front of him, although his clothes and accessories are simple, a pearl hairpin in his hair is not something that ordinary people can wear.

"Big sister, I'm sorry to disturb you!" Sister-in-law Zhang is obviously very familiar with Widow Liu, and Widow Liu smiled slightly, "Sister-in-law Zhang, why did you come here so late?" Sister-in-law Zhang stepped aside and said to Widow Liu, "These two are from the old man's house, and they came to ask about our men and avenge them!" ”

"Men?" Widow Liu snorted and said, "Are you talking about that dead ghost?" If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be where I am today! He has harmed my life, and it is not a pity to die, so how can I avenge my grievances? ”

"Sister, that's not what you said," Sister-in-law Zhang was a little unable to get off the stage, "If you want to say that the one who killed us should be the one who killed our man, don't you want to arrest that murderer and vent his evil anger?" Widow Liu looked at Yan Heyi, and then at Yichun, "A total of thirteen men have died in the town, just the two of them, let alone the murderer, it would be good if they didn't put their lives into it!" I'm also tired, sister-in-law Zhang, don't accompany me! ”

She turned around to leave, but Yan Heyi called her coldly, "This girl, what is the value of the hairpin on your head, is it a gift from your mother's family or from your mother-in-law?" Widow Liu's shoulders shook slightly, obviously because he had the right mind. Yichun pulled Yan Heyi violently, and said unhappily, "You, how can you stare at the hairpin on someone's head, are you ashamed?" ”

Widow Liu turned around slowly, avoiding Yan Heyi's gaze, and said timidly, "This hairpin, this hairpin I bought myself!" Yan Heyi asked reluctantly, "Where did you buy that, and who sold it to you?" ”

"This, this ......" Widow Liu couldn't answer for a while, but Sister-in-law Zhang often went to the east and the west, and she figured it out as soon as she moved. She grabbed Widow Liu and said anxiously, "Sister, you can't be confused, this, this is going to be soaked in the pig cage!" ”

"Sister-in-law Zhang, I, I didn't!" Widow Liu's face was red and white, knowing that she had misunderstood herself, but she didn't know how to explain it. Yichun was also startled, and whispered to Yan Heyi, "You mean, she has a man?" Yan Heyi stretched out a finger and knocked on the door of her head, "What do you think about in your little head, I didn't mean that." ”

Yan Heyi turned to Widow Liu and said, "Not only the hairpin on the head, but also the cotton clothes on the body are also sewn with high-quality plain silk transported from Jiangnan. Such a large expense is unaffordable compared to your in-laws and mother-in-law's family, right? ”

"You, what the hell are you going to say!" Widow Liu was trembling all over, not knowing whether she was angry or scared. Yan Heyi waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, I just want to say that after your man's death, that person not only sent the one hundred taels of silver that he said he had promised, but also sent you silver every month, right?" ”

As soon as the words came out, the other three people were stunned. Yichun said, "How do you know, just by that hairpin?" Sister-in-law Zhang let go of Widow Liu's hand and said, "Big sister, is there really such a thing, why have I never heard you talk about it?" ”

Widow Liu showed a bleak smile, "I didn't expect that what I have carefully concealed for so many years will be seen through by you at a glance." Sure enough, it is the person of the old man of jade, and he has a unique mind. That's right, when my dead ghost man was gone, someone gave me a bag of one hundred taels of silver. When I arrived at the nunnery, he gave me ten taels of silver every month. Sister-in-law Zhang, I have no choice but to hide it from you, the man said, you can't reveal a word to anyone about this matter, otherwise you won't send money again. You also know that my mother-in-law thinks of me, and my mother's family has long since stopped sending silver, if I don't have this money, how can I live? ”

At first, Sister-in-law Zhang was a little angry, but when she heard her say this, her heart softened again, "Sister, I know your difficulties, but I still have a son, alas, they are all hard-working people!" Widow Liu took off the pearl hairpin on her head, looked at it in her hand, and said, "Thank you for reminding me, it seems that I will be more restrained in the future." ”

Yan Heyi asked, "What did the person who gave you the silver say to you?" Widow Liu glanced at him, "You are here for him?" Yan Heyi nodded, "He is likely to be the murderer of thirteen lives." Widow Liu said, "It doesn't matter to me whether he is a murderer or not, now he is my only way to make money, and I will not say anything that is unfavorable to him." ”

"Girl, that's not what you said!" Sister-in-law Zhang was suddenly a little excited, "If it weren't for that person, how could Dali's father die, and how could I have lived so hard with my children?" Girl, you can't have no conscience! Widow Liu seemed to look at Sister-in-law Zhang with some disappointment, shook her head, and turned to leave.

"Wait!" Yan Heyi took a step forward and said to her with a sneer, "If I'm not mistaken, among the thirteen deceased families, you are the only one who really got the one hundred taels. It's not that the man takes pity on you, it's that you have the handle in your hand, so he has to give you money every month, yes or no! ”
