The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

When Tang Dafu sent Tang Caiyun to the county government office, Qin Huiyin and Xia Ruwan handed over their work.

The store had been doing very well during her absence. She checked the sales and it was pretty much what she'd estimated.

It's freezing cold, which is a great season for hotpot. She didn't open a hotpot restaurant because she felt it was more complicated to run one, and skewers were easier.

In addition, this is a county town, and the living standards of the people are not as good as those in wealthy cities. If she wants to make delicious food that everyone in the world can eat, she has to consider the cost-effectiveness.

After a few days, the store's business became more and more smooth, and the Tang family members began to return to the village to rest every now and then.

The construction of the new house is nearing completion, and they need to go back frequently to discuss the final work with the craftsmen. If there is anything they are not satisfied with, they can make changes in time.

The new house has a kang, so they won't have to worry about freezing during the Chinese New Year next month. In addition, after the new house is built, they will start buying a lot of things.

Fortunately, the Zhang family recently hired two old carpenters, who can free up their hands to make furniture for the Tang family.

As everyone's life became more prosperous, a new incident occurred in the village. The servants of the Xia family brought back a body, and that body was none other than Tang Jizu.

As soon as Tang Jizu's body was returned, the old lady of the Tang family went mad and cursed Li Erniu for driving Liu away and even missing her son, thus implicating Tang Jizu.

In the case of Tang Mingxiu's abduction and trafficking of unmarried girls from the village, Tang Mingxiu and Tang Mingkui were apprehended and sentenced to beheading in the autumn. As to whether the county court continued its investigation, the people were unaware. The current situation is that Liu and her son sought refuge with Tang Mingxiu, but they have not been seen since the incident.

Tang Jizu died, and Mrs. Tang blamed all the mistakes on Li Erniu. Li Erniu sat in front of Tang Jizu's body like a fool, letting Mrs. Tang beat and scold her.

The villagers didn't like this family. They sighed and comforted them, and some of them even helped arrange Tang Jizu's funeral.

“Ahhh…something happened…something happened…”

A villager ran out of Li Erniu's house.

"What's wrong?" asked Qian, who was fetching water.

"The old lady of the Tang family is dead. She was murdered. Li Erniu is missing, and Tang Baoyu is also missing."

Another murder occurred in the village, and the whole village rushed to Li Erniu's house. Before entering the yard, as soon as they arrived at the gate, they smelled a strong smell of blood.

The village chief rushed over after hearing the news.

At this time, the village chief's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

So many things had happened in the village recently, and hearing that someone had died again made him feel gloomy. Their village was now being ridiculed by people from other villages, who called it a vicious village.

Now that another murder has occurred, I'm afraid their reputation will be even worse. Which girl would dare to marry into their village in the future? What will happen to the boys in their village?

"Village chief, this..."

When the men in the village saw the crime scene, they quickly dispersed the women and children who were about to come in.

The village chief covered his breath and went out, saying to the man next to him, "Go and see if there is anything missing from Li Erniu's room."

"Village chief, there's no need to look for her anymore. Li Erniu's clothes are missing. I don't know how Tang Baoyu disappeared, but his clothes are still there."

"I've seen Li Erniu," a woman said. "I saw her walking out of the village and thought she was going back to her parents' home. I called out to her, and she walked even faster."

"Her husband hasn't been buried yet, how could she possibly be returning to her parents' home at this time? Li Erniu is usually quiet, so how could she kill someone without saying anything? This is too scary!"

"She had a quarrel with Grandma Tang last night. I didn't hear clearly what they were arguing about."

"We heard it clearly. Grandma Tang told Li Erniu to go out and find a job, to earn some money, even if she had to sell her body. If she didn't obey, she would pawn her off to someone else to give birth to a son, saying that her only useful thing now was her belly. Li Erniu resisted, saying that her husband was dead, she was a widow, and she wanted to leave this family. The two of them argued more and more fiercely, and there was another round of fighting and quarreling, and then there was silence, and we didn't take it seriously. Li Erniu has been beaten by Grandma Tang in recent months, and she never dared to fight back. She fainted during the beating."

“I’m afraid by then he’d already killed someone.”

"Do you think Tang Baoyu was also killed by Li Erniu?"

"Tang Baoyu is her lifeblood, so that shouldn't happen, right?"

"If it were before, she definitely wouldn't. But in the past few months, Tang Baoyu has imitated Grandma Tang and vented all his anger on Li Erniu. Li Erniu has to be beaten by him every day. If Li Erniu still treats him as her treasure as before, then she must have gone crazy."

"This matter must not be spread outside," the village chief ordered. "You've probably heard about the reputation our village has become. If you don't want the girls in this village to be unmarried and the men to be unable to find wives, these scandals must not be spread."

"What about Li Erniu?"

"She killed someone and is now in a hurry to escape. We don't know where she went, so we can only pretend we don't know. As for the funerals of Grandma Tang and Tang Jizu, the villagers helped to handle them together."

When Qin Huiyin and others came back in the evening, Pang and Zhou came to visit, and the news reached their ears.

Li Taohua frowned and said, "This woman is quite cruel."

"She really ran away, didn't she?" Tang Luwu said worriedly, "She's gone crazy now. What if she comes to settle old scores with us?"

"Be careful recently and don't go out alone." Tang Dafu said worriedly, "If she didn't escape but hid nearby, my wife would be the most dangerous."

Tang Luwu nodded repeatedly.

"It's better to live a miserable life than to die. If she wanted to die, she wouldn't have endured it for so long. She should be hiding somewhere now, and she'll escape once the storm has passed." Li Taohua said, "But you still have to be careful. She's been forced into a desperate situation and she's capable of anything."

In the evening, the village chief held a meeting and brought up the funeral arrangements of Tang Jizu and Grandma Tang.

Although these two people were hateful in their lives, they didn't care about this matter, which made it difficult for the village chief. When a person dies, it is like a light going out. No matter how much resentment there is, it turns to ashes. So let's deal with it together!

Li Taohua said that she could pay, but her family would not send anyone.

The village chief understood, and they weren't short of people, but money. Li Taohua's willingness to pay solved their big problem.

On the way back, Qin Huiyin said, "Mom, I thought you wouldn't cooperate."

"He's dead, and if I fight him and offend the villagers, wouldn't I be crazy?" Li Taohua said, "This face is sold to the village chief."
