Considering that Xu Yan drove out of the mountain, took Old Man Xu to the county hospital, and even produced a note from the county leader, this matter is definitely not as simple as it seems.

Xu Yan's condition should be much better than she thought.

Feeling slightly relieved, Su Wanwan still followed the crowd and walked forward a few steps.

The villagers who had finished a day's work stood by the road in twos and threes, looking not far away. The fastest children also ran back first, bringing back the news from the front.

"There seems to be a dead person on the road ahead! The dead person is the same as what those people just described! Come and take a look!"

Before Su Wanwan could take these words to heart, bits and pieces of rumors had already spread, and many villagers quickened their pace.

"Could that person on the side of the road be Xu Yan? I haven't seen Xu Yan for a while."

"Didn't I just hear Secretary Wang and the village chief say that Xu Yan is still under investigation in the county? Since he is being held in the county, how could he die here?"

The villagers walked quickly, talking as they walked.

Su Wanwan also followed in a daze. Although she was confused about the pain she had just felt, she could not clearly define her feelings at the moment. On the one hand, she was worried about Xu Yan, but on the other hand, she inexplicably believed in him, and there was also an irresistible fear.

"That's right. He's the kind of person that almost pissed off his father to death just now! Even if he dies, he can't die in our village."

As the sky gradually darkened, when Su Wanwan and the others walked to the edge of the pond, it was almost completely dark, with only the light of a few flashlights sweeping back and forth.

Su Wanwan listened to her own heartbeat in the dark and wanted to move forward, but it felt as if her feet were nailed to the spot. Sweat soaked her skin, and she didn't know whether it was because of fear or other emotions.

In the distance, someone put the body on the ground into a bag.

The crowd was talking one after another.

"Is this person the third son of the Xu family?"

In the darkness, some people with poor eyesight find it difficult to recognize the people in front of them.

"No, it's a stranger, probably not from our village."

It was midsummer and there were all kinds of small insects everywhere. No one knew how long the body had been dead. It was just lying alone in the grass by the roadside. The body was already covered with all kinds of insects and was dragged up from the ground alone.

But thankfully, there were no obvious wounds and no noticeable odor.

"Okay, let's all go. I know him. He's the notorious drunkard from the village next door. He goes around swindling people for money to buy alcohol on credit every day. Now he's drunk himself to death!"

Finally, there was someone in the crowd who knew the deceased. After his story, the body was quickly sent to the next village.

When the rest of the villagers saw that the matter was over, they all dispersed. Only Su Wanwan remained standing there, letting the wind mess up her hair.

"Oh, look at our Wanwan. Were you scared by that dead face just now?" Yan Wenxuan suddenly appeared on the deserted roadside like a ghost. Su Wanwan slightly raised her empty eyes.

Not focused, just facing Yan Wenxuan.

"Hey, don't look at me like that. I don't want Xu Yan to get into trouble. If Xu Yan is gone, they will definitely investigate. After investigating, they will definitely mention my form. Wouldn't that prove what you said, that I am an indirect murderer?"

In the darkness of the night, a loud slap immediately knocked Yan Wenxuan in front of him unconscious.

Su Wanwan took back her hand, her face expressionless and cold: "If you don't want to be beaten, just get out of here."

Yan Wenxuan, who was slapped in the face, felt his chest heaving violently, as if countless streams of air were surging inside, but on the surface he appeared extremely obedient and immediately disappeared at the intersection.

He just left one sentence for Su Wanwan to wait.

Dragging her body unconsciously all the way back to the Su family, Su Wanwan pushed open the door, and the voice of her third sister-in-law Jiang Panhua came from the house as if it was equipped with a loudspeaker -

"I've only been gone for a few days. Is there no one at home to do the laundry? How are we going to wear all these dirty clothes?"

Standing in the hall, Jiang Panhua, wearing newly cut clothes, even had a flower embroidered on the bright red material, put her hands on her hips and looked around.

Zhao Ying and Jiang Shuzhen were going in and out of the kitchen one after another, preparing dinner, and no one had time to pay attention to her.

The third brother Su Di had just finished a busy day and came back from outside. He saw his wife, who was barking and biting people, head-on.

"Okay, are you done yet? You've only been out for a few days, and you're already cocky when you come back. Do you think everyone else in this family is your slave?"

Qinggui, who came back with Jiang Panhua, changed into new clothes.

Sister-in-law Jiang Shuzhen, who was serving meals back and forth, looked at the two new clothes on Jiang Panhua and Qinggui from time to time. She swallowed the bitterness in her heart and did not mention the lost money.

After all, she is just the daughter-in-law of this family, and Su Wanwan has promised her to seek justice for her. When Su Wanwan comes back, everything will be fine.

"Normally, it's my third sister-in-law who does the laundry at home. How can we take away her work?"

Su Wanwan put down the canvas bag, with all kinds of emotions in her heart. Jiang Panhua came back just in time and happened to run into the muzzle of the gun. It couldn't be her fault.

"Why? From what you said, it seems as if this family can't survive without me?"

Jiang Panhua has a pair of triangular eyes.

They had only been walking for a few days, and it seemed that even Su Wanwan was not so afraid of her anymore.

After all, the money she had taken from her eldest sister and brother-in-law's house had already been squandered by her. In addition to buying new clothes for herself and her son Lugui and some delicious food for her mother's family, she also deposited all the remaining money with her mother.

No matter how much the Su family speculated, she had been traveling outside for so long that she had disappeared without a trace.

"This is true. Not only did the third sister-in-law leave alone, she also took other people's belongings with her."

After these few days, the Su family had already discovered that the four dollars were missing, and Jiang Panhua had already made a plan on the way.

In the end, all the money was spent by her, and no matter how the Su family searched her body, they could not find a penny more.

The only thing that needs to be made up is how to explain it.

During the days of traveling with her, little Lugui was very happy. Not only did she meet her grandmother and several aunts, she also ate delicious food and changed into new clothes. As long as she didn't mention it, Lugui would definitely forget about it.

Moreover, on the way back, she repeatedly warned Lugui that no matter what the Su family asked, she must keep her mouth shut.

She firmly believed that no matter how the Su family asked her and Lu Gui, they would not be able to get any information from them!

"Little sister, it's not kind of you to say that. What do you mean I took other people's things with me? When I left, my mother and elder sister saw it with their own eyes. I only took a few necessities and the children. I didn't take anything from your Su family. Little sister, you can't throw such dirty water on me just because you hate me."
