But after Jiang Zhuzi escaped, he instinctively ran to the river because of the burning pain on his face, squatted down and started washing his face with water.

The coolness of the river water gradually eased the burning pain, and he was finally able to open his eyes and see normally.

As the pain subsided, his thoughts became clearer.

Jiang Zhuzi began to ponder the true weight of the girl's words.

What a joke. If you tell others that a woman can be the boss, even dogs won’t believe it.

It must be a lie made up by his second sister in order to deceive him.

As soon as this thought came to my mind, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of my head.

He didn't even have time to look back before his eyes went dark and he fell headfirst into the river.

Still waters run deep, with undercurrents surging beneath them.

As soon as Jiang Zhuzi's body entered the water, he was swept several meters away by the current, leaving a few blood-red ripples that were quickly diluted.

Xie Bai's eyes were full of regret. Why was it facing up instead of down?

He casually threw the sharp stone in his hand into the river. When he lowered his eyes, he saw a few drops of blood on the hem of his clothes.

"trouble."

Xie Bai spat out two words impatiently, squatted down and began to scrub the clothes in the river water.

Fortunately, fresh blood stains are easiest to clean with cold water. Just two or three times, and the blood stains will disappear.

Xie Bai was satisfied. He wrung out his clothes and stood up. Just as he was about to turn around and go home, he caught a glimpse of the sudden movement of the reeds not far away.

"Come out!" Xie Bai's eyes were cold, and he picked up a sharp stone from his feet.

He was definitely not mistaken, there was a person hiding there.

It would be a lie to say that I wasn't panicked. After all, if someone saw this happening, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble.

The most important thing is that he didn't want his family to know what he had done.

But it was only a moment of panic before he regained his composure and his brain began to work rapidly.

In any case, he must keep the development of events firmly under his own control.

As he got closer and closer to the reeds, Xu Erlai was almost on the verge of crying.

He just came here to take a shit, but somehow he ran into Xie Bai killing someone.

He was terribly frightened at the time.

Although he had been a reckless person since he was young, and had always done things like teasing cats and dogs and causing trouble, he had only restrained his temper after having some serious work to do this year. However, no matter how wicked he was, he had never thought of killing anyone.

Not wanting, but not dare.

Who in normal state would dare to kill people casually?

He is not a pervert!

But Xie Bai was still a half-grown child. He watched him pick up a big stone, walk quietly behind the man, and smash it hard on the man's head.

This scene was so shocking that if Xu Erlai had not covered his mouth tightly, he would have screamed.

It would have been fine if he had just kept quiet, but he just happened to sneeze.

Although he tried his best to hold back his sneeze, he accidentally bumped into the reeds and caused them to shake.

Now, I’ve been discovered.

Xu Erlai was so desperate.

As the saying goes, the soft are afraid of the hard, the hard are afraid of the tough, and the tough are afraid of the desperate.

He is just a bully who only cares about the weak and fears the strong. When he meets a madman like Xie Bai who dares to kill people, he just wants to escape.

But there is no escape.

Besides, his family depends on Xie Bai's sister-in-law for their livelihood.

Xu Erlai had no choice but to stand up slowly and gave Xie Bai a smile that was uglier than crying.

Looking at his expression, Xie Bai knew that he had witnessed everything and there was no point in asking further.

He stared at Xu Erlai calmly, intending to respond to any changes with the same attitude.

But he didn't know that Xu Erlai was stared at by his dark eyes and a layer of white sweat broke out on his back.

So fucking scary!

Xu Erlai couldn't hold on any longer.

He jumped out of the reeds, turned around and ran away, shouting as he ran: "I didn't see anything, and no one will tell anyone. Just pretend you have never seen me!"

Xie Bai watched him running away, his frown gradually relaxed, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Coward."

Xu Erlai was far superior to him in both physical strength and size, so it was easy for him to be controlled.

Of course, if he really dared to do this, I would definitely find an opportunity to kill him.

At the same time, Xie Bai also confirmed that Xu Erlai posed no threat to him at all.

After kicking all the things that Jiang Zhuzi left by the river into the river and restoring the scene, Xie Bai returned home briskly.

At this time, Xu Yingtao had just poured the chopped radish into the mutton soup, and the rich and fragrant aroma of mutton was wafting around the house.

Warm and reassuring.

Seeing that Xie Bai's clothes were wet, Xu Yingtao asked curiously, "Why is it so wet?"

Xie Bai had already returned to his former gentle and humble self. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "I was scooping water to wash my hands just now, and I accidentally spilled the water."

Xu Yingtao arranged for him to light a fire and dry the clothes at the same time, and then asked, "You weren't scared before, were you?"

Xie Bai shook his head and his smile deepened.

How could he be scared? He was so happy that his long-cherished wish came true.

On the other side, Xu Erlai ran back home in one breath, his throat smelling of rust, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead. It was hard to tell whether it was hot sweat from exhaustion or cold sweat from lingering fear.

At this time, his mother and two sisters-in-law happened to return from the workshop. Seeing this, his mother hurriedly asked him what was wrong.

Xu Erlai drank a large bowl of water in one breath and finally suppressed his fear a little. Then he spoke hesitantly.

"Mom, what if, I say what if, if you see someone in the village doing something bad, what are you going to do?"

His sister-in-law curled her lips and muttered softly: "How can you be as bad as me?"

His mother acted as if it had nothing to do with her and said calmly, "As long as it's not our own business, we should stay out of it to avoid getting into trouble."

Xu Erlai wiped his face and continued to ask: "What if that person is from the young master's family..."

"Please stop!" His mother hurriedly stopped him, not giving him a chance to finish. "If it was the young lady, we should turn a blind eye. Who do you think is the reason why we can eat fine grains every day? Even if the young lady killed someone, we should keep it a secret for her!"

The two sisters-in-law also echoed.

Xu Erlai was suddenly speechless.

In this case, he no longer needs to have any psychological burden. His mother is right. The most important thing is that his family can live a good life. As for who the person killed by Xie Bai is, it is none of his business.

The next day, after paying wages to the employees in each workshop, Xu Yingtao told Village Chief Zheng what had happened in her home the day before. The Zheng family was shocked.

Mrs. Zhou held Xu Yingtao's hand tightly, her eyes full of worry: "Yingtao, your new house will take another half a month to be built, but I really don't feel comfortable letting you live at the foot of the mountain. Anyway, your aunt Zhao and the others rarely come back to the village on weekdays, so you can move in first, so that we can take care of them, okay?"

Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Then, several workshop team leaders, led by Aunt Wang, stepped into the main hall of the Zheng family with shy faces.

Xu Yingtao patted Mrs. Zhou's hand, motioning her to wait a moment, then stood up and said to the team leaders with a smile, "Aunts, do you have anything to talk to me about?"

Aunt Wang was pushed in front of the crowd, with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face: "Young Master, we are here on behalf of all the sisters in the workshop. There is something we all have in mind and we want to discuss it with you."
