Quan Dali knelt on the ground crying, "Second Uncle, you have to make the decision for me!"

Zhou Dajiang quickly helped him up and said, "Stand up and talk. What happened?"

Quan Dali burst into tears, "I, I, my grandmother is gone!"

Zhou Dajiang was startled and quickly handed him a handkerchief, "Wipe it off. Tell me what happened." Didn't he say he was able to get out of bed? How could he just disappear like that?

"Wow, wow, I took the cloud cake and medicine given by my second uncle and went home. Wow, wow, grandma happened to be strolling in the fields, so I gave her the cloud cake first.

Woo woo woo, and then, I went to decoct the medicine.

But when I came out again, I saw my grandma lying on the ground with her back facing the ground, not breathing at all!

Quan Dali couldn't help crying again.

After hearing what he said, Zhou Dajiang was still confused. Since the old lady was gone, why did this child come here instead of staying at home to mourn?

"Why are you here instead of staying at home to mourn?"

"Wow, my stepmother, my stepmother, wow, she said I killed grandma!"

Chen Xiuying, standing by, couldn't help but gasp. This was the worst kind of cruelty! If her words got out, this child's life would be over!

Zhou Dajiang couldn't sit still any longer. "I'll go take a look." Then he ran out.

Seeing this, Quan Dali hurriedly followed behind and walked away together.

Chen Xiuying thought about it and went to her mother's house. At that time, Chen's mother and Zhou's mother were still counting the finished dolls in the side room. There were almost enough dolls for one more trip.

Chen Xiuying met her mother and mother-in-law and told them about Quan Dali.

Zhou's mother was an expert in the situation, and after hearing this, she couldn't help but utter a "Pooh" sound.

"I've always seen her being quiet. Although she's partial to her own child, it's human nature and understandable. I didn't expect her to be so evil! Quan Dali is such a good child, who in the village wouldn't praise him? What she said is going to ruin that child!"

"Come on, Xiuying, let's go and take a look! In-laws, you clean up first, and I'll order with you after I come back." After saying this, Zhou's mother pulled Chen Xiuying out.

Chen Xiuying thought of her daughter who was still painting at home and shouted, "Mom, please let my dad go home first. I'm worried about Sisi being home alone!"

Then he went to Quan Dali's house with Zhou's mother.

When the two arrived, the villagers had already gathered in the yard, pointing and talking.

Zhou Dajiang stood in the middle of the yard with a gloomy face, while Quan Dali knelt beside him, sobbing non-stop. Quan Dali's stepmother, Sun, sat on the ground and rolled around, crying and cursing Quan Dali as her nemesis who had killed her own grandmother.

Seeing this, Zhou's mother was furious. She pointed at Sun and cursed, "You black-hearted woman! The old lady was clearly almost recovered from her illness, so why did you say that Dalike was the cause of her death? You slander him like this. Have you lost your conscience?"

Sun was stunned by the scolding. She hadn't expected Zhou's mother to be so protective of Quan Dali. She had thought that if she cried and made a scene, everyone would believe her. Quan Dali had been living with his grandmother for years, so it wasn't an exaggeration to say that he was the one who brought him down. Besides, he was born strong, otherwise how could his mother have died of illness?

At this time, Aunt Zhang, the wife of the village head, also arrived. The village head had gone to the provincial capital for business and had not yet returned, so she decided to come and see him.

She looked at Madam Sun and said, "Madam Sun, please stop talking nonsense. I saw the old lady yesterday and she was in good spirits and could even walk. There must be some misunderstanding. Let's go see the old lady first."

Everyone nodded after hearing this, and then a few brave ones stepped forward to check the old lady's body.

It's no wonder that Sun was so vicious. When the old lady died, she just kept wailing and rolling on the ground. She was in the same state as the old lady when she fell. She didn't even find someone to help lift her onto the wooden board.

But Dali's father was not at home. He said he had gone out to work.

Seeing this, Zhou Dajiang didn't care about Sun and quickly pulled Quan Dali up, telling him to stop kneeling in the yard and quickly find someone to notify relatives and friends.

The old man’s mourning shed has not been set up yet, his funeral clothes have not been changed, his appearance has not been arranged, and there is no coffin or sacrificial supplies.

He was worried that as a modern man he might make mistakes while presiding over these things, so he went to Aunt Zhang and told her that after all, an old man had passed away, and he, a young man, wanted to help the child, but he was worried that he might make mistakes if he was not thoughtful enough. Aunt Zhang had seen a lot of the world, so he hoped that Aunt Zhang would help out for the sake of the child.

Aunt Zhang also realized that if she hadn't come today, the Sun family would have thrown a basin of dirty water on the child's head. She also watched Quan Dali grow up, so naturally she was more on Quan Dali's side. So, without hesitation, she took over the entire responsibility. She arranged for people to buy funeral materials and sacrificial supplies, and arranged for people to carry the old man's body onto the board...

Aunt Zhang arranged various matters in an orderly manner, and everyone took action.

Soon, the mourning hall was set up and the coffin was delivered to the home. Aunt Zhang and Mother Zhou personally dressed the old lady in burial clothes and arranged her appearance to make her look more peaceful. Quan Dali silently assisted from the side, his eyes filled with grief and sorrow.

The family's elders and relatives in the village also came one after another to pay their respects.

Unexpectedly, when everything was arranged and the relatives arrived, Sun started to make a fuss again. It turned out that Sun started to make a fuss again after she learned that Aunt Zhang had taken over the matter.

She pointed at Aunt Zhang and scolded, "Why do you care about our family's affairs? You are meddling in other people's business!"

Aunt Zhang was so angry that she pointed at her and scolded her, "Sun, you usually don't care about the old lady. Dali has been taking care of her all by himself. Now you jump out. I think you are guilty and afraid that people will find out that you are involved in the old lady's death."

Sun was timid but inwardly cowardly. "You, you, you're talking nonsense! What does the old lady's death have to do with me? It was Quan Dalike who died. It had nothing to do with me!"

Zhou Dajiang and Chen Xiuying had not left yet and were also helping out with what they could. Upon hearing this, Zhou Dajiang stepped forward and said:

"Whoever killed the old lady doesn't care. I've already sent someone to report the case to the government office. We'll know once the officials come and conduct the first trial. What's true can't be false, and what's false can't be true either."

Sun panicked when she heard this. "Who told you to report this to the police? This is our family's business, why do you have to interfere?"

Zhou Dajiang ignored her and said, "Justice is in the hearts of the people. I've already intervened, and I'll see it through to the end. Oh, by the way, Dali said he put the cloud cake in the old man's hand before decocting the medicine. Where is the cloud cake? It's physical evidence!"

"Nonsense, there's no such thing as cloud cake? My family doesn't have the money to buy that!"

Zhou Dajiang originally said that he would report the case just to scare Sun, but he didn't expect that there was really something going on. It was obvious that Sun was lying.

Zhou Dajiang didn't indulge her and said it directly.

"I gave Dali the Yunpian Cake. I bought two boxes in total, and I still have one at home. The cake shop in town can vouch for me. How come it's gone when it comes to you? Did you kill the old lady just for a box of cake?!"

"I didn't! Don't spit blood on me!"

"Dali, in front of the elders and villagers, tell me again, have you given the cloud cake to your grandma?" Aunt Zhang came out and asked when she saw this.

"Yes, I gave it to my grandma with my own hands. She asked me to eat it, but I didn't." Quan Dali said with tears in his eyes.

At this time, the people who came to pay their respects also understood that something was obviously going on!
