General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming

43 The Truth
âWho?â the village chief asked.
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, âI went to the back of the mountain to pick up firewood once. I heard from Wang Laizi that the girl from the Su family is really beautiful. If he can touch her twice, heâll be happy for the rest of his life! I suspect that Wang Laizi went to provoke Su Jinniang and was killed by her!â
Everyone was shocked!
Su Jinniang frowned.
Madam Fang turned around. âFatty Su! Donât slander my daughter! Wang Laizi doesnât dare to provoke my daughter! My daughter didnât kill Wang Laizi! Jinniang hasnât gone out since she came back from the field. She has been working at home! Our entire family can testify!â
Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and said calmly, âYouâre family, so you naturally testify for her.â
What they used to refute Fatty Su just now was used on Su Jinniang. They did not believe that Su Jinniang would kill someone, but Madam Wan did not jump out to refute. Could it be⦠that there was really something going on?
The reason why Madam Wan was silent was that her son had indeed coveted Su Jinniangâ¦
Madam Zhou snorted. âHow can a woman kill Wang Laizi? Do you think everyone is like you, a fatty with brute force!?â
Su Cheng said fiercely, âWho are you calling a fatty? Believe it or not, Iâll slap you!â
Madam Zhou shrank back.
Su Xiaoxiao said, âThen she must have an accomplice!â
Su Jinniang clenched her fists and said, âStop arguing! When Wang Laizi was in trouble, I was helping in the kitchen at home. My mother said that it was snowing and asked me to close the back door of the kitchen. Su Daya, didnât you see me?â
Madam Fang hurriedly said, âYes, yes, yes! I asked Jinniang to close the door!â
Su Xiaoxiao looked enlightened. âOh, that person is you. I didnât see clearly when it was snowing. I thought it was your sister, Yu Niang.â
Madam Wang said, âYu Niang is at her in-lawsâ house! Sheâs about to give birth. Her body is heavy, so she canât come back at all!â
All the villagers knew about this.
Su Jinniang said to the village chief, âWith Su Daya as my witness, my suspicion is cleared, right?â
âOf course,â the village chief nodded. âIn that case, the two of you were near your house at that time. The murderer was neither you nor Su Daya.â
Madam Wan howled again. âThen who killed my son?â
âThis questionâ¦â Su Xiaoxiaoâs gaze swept across and landed on the daughter-in-law of the Wan family, Chunya.â Why donât you ask your daughter-in-law? â
Chunya trembled.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her with a faint smile. âChunya, you were the one who told your mother-in-law that I had a grudge against Wang Laizi, right? You saw me going to the back mountain to pick firewood, right?â
Madam Wan said, âFatty Su! What are you trying to say!â
Su Xiaoxiao said, âAuntie Wan, your sonâs death is definitely related to your daughter-in-law! She deliberately chose a time when no one can testify for me and slandered me! However, Godâs plan worked. Su Jinniang saw me when she went to close the back door.â
âDaya is right!â Su Cheng always trusted his fat daughter without reservation. âWan, your daughter-in-law was the one who discovered the corpse. It was still warm when she was discovered. Perhaps she just killed your son!â
Madam Wan suddenly looked at Chunya!
Chunyaâs face was pale. She hurriedly waved her hand. âMom⦠No⦠Itâs not me⦠I didnât kill Dacai⦠I swear⦠I didnâtâ¦â
Wang Laizi was also called Wang Dacai. Although Chunya said that she did not kill him, she was clearly feeling guilty.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her deeply. âEven if you didnât kill him, you should know who the murderer is.â
Madam Wan grabbed Chunyaâs arm tightly. âTell me! Who is the murderer? Tell me! Tell me quickly!â
Chunya burst into tears. âI canât sayâ¦â
âTell me! Who killed my son?â
âThatâs right, Chunya. Just say it, right? Donât take the blame for others.â
âChunya, donât be stupid. Tell me. Your man died. This is a blood feud.â
âIâm afraid you have a shameful relationship with the murderer, right? Otherwise, why would you keep your mouth shut for him?â
The villagers gradually began to speculate maliciously from their initial kind words.
It was not their fault. Chunyaâs actions were too abnormal.
Madam Wan also began to suspect something. She pinched Chunyaâs arm hard. âTell me! Which wild man is it!â
Chunyaâs tears fell like rain, but she refused to say who the murderer was.
Su Xiaoxiao looked into the distance. âStop fighting. The murderer is here.â
Everyone looked in the direction Su Xiaoxiao was pointing.
The little bully of the Su family was pushing a man who was tied up and walking over in the snow.
Behind the two of them were three little bullies.
The man walked slowly, and Su Ergou kicked his butt. âGo!â
The three little bullies picked up the little whip made by their uncle!
Dahu said fiercely, âLetâs go!â
Erhu also said fiercely, âIf you donât leave, Iâll slap you!â
Xiaohu waved his leather whip angrily. âWhip you!â
When they got closer, everyone recognized the man who was tied up.
âWang Laizi?â Madam He exclaimed.
Auntie Liu said, âAh! The corpse has come back to life!â
Everyone scattered!
Auntie Liu jumped behind Su Cheng.
Unexpectedly, Su Cheng also flashed behind his fat daughter.
Auntie Liu was speechless.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, âDad, are you afraid of ghosts?â
Su Cheng said, âNo, Iâm just worried that youâll be afraid. Donât worry, Iâll always be your strongest backing!â
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Su Ergou sighed. âWhy are you hiding? Wang Laizi is not dead!â
The villagers looked at each other.
Only her mother, Madam Wan, came to her son in a daze. She raised her hand and touched her sonâs face. âItâs warm⦠warm and alive⦠What, whatâs going on? You clearly stopped breathing just nowâ¦â
Su Ergou snorted. âHe held it in!â
Madam Wan grabbed his wrist. âYou have a pulse too. I couldnât feel it just now.â
Su Ergou casually threw a small iron ball to the ground. âPut this under your armpit and you can temporarily lose your pulse. What a petty trick!â
The villagers heaved a long sigh of relief. As long as he wasnât a zombieâ¦
Speaking of which, what was wrong with Wang Laizi? He was alive and well, so why did he pretend to die and frame someone?
Madam Wan did not distinguish between right and wrong and embarrassed herself! Everyone collectively forgot that they had also wanted to chase Little Suâs family out of the village.
The village chief asked solemnly, âWang Dacai, why did you do that?â
Wang Laizi remained silent.
The village chief said seriously, âEveryone, disperse! Wang Dacai, Madam Wan, Chunya, come to my house!â
He was going to interrogate the family alone.
Everyone did not disperse so easily and rushed to the village chiefâs house to watch the commotion.
Su Cheng went too. He was going to beat up that bastard! Even though the bastard had already been beaten up by Su Ergou.
Su Ergou came to Su Xiaoxiao with a smile. âSister, was I dashing just now?â
Su Xiaoxiao asked, âWho taught you?â
Su Ergou replied, â Brother-in-law⦠â
Wei Ting had not been in the central room for a long time. She thought that he was indifferent to her matter and had returned to the room to rest. She did not expect this.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, âHow did he know that Wang Laizi isnât dead?â
Su Ergou said, âI donât know. I only found out when I went there! Brother-in-law said that he wanted to go to the crime scene to find clues!â
Wei Ting was much smarter and more meticulous than she had imagined.
Su Xiaoxiao looked around and asked, âWhere is he?â
