I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

As Su Yunhe spoke, her expression suddenly turned manic.

"I thought, how could I let such a good person be insulted by this piece of trash? I told him to shut up, but he wouldn't listen and kept cursing at me. I couldn't take it anymore, so I picked up the pig-slaughtering knife on the ground and stabbed him directly in the stomach. I saw a lot of blood flowing on the ground, just like when he slaughtered a pig. I couldn't help but imitate how he dismembered pig legs and dismembered both of his legs..."

Hearing this, Su Banxia felt a little scared and looked at Su Yunhe to continue asking:

"And then what happened? Did you dispose of his body?"

Su Yunhe shook her head desperately.

"After I cut off his two legs, I got scared and threw away my butcher knife, then ran away. I ran to many places along the way, not knowing where to go. It started raining, and I ran all the way to Sujia Village based on my memory. I originally wanted to go to my parents' courtyard, but then I thought that my parents are old and can't take any more trouble. If I went to their courtyard and told them that I had killed someone, they might be scared to death on the spot. So I ran to your little courtyard on Dwarf Mountain. Actually, I had been here for a while. I hid behind the apricot tree outside. I saw that there were many people in your courtyard, so I didn't dare to come in. I knocked on the door after everyone left. And then you know what happened..."

Su Banxia nodded.

"Don't be afraid. Since you've already killed him and the deed is done, we have to accept the consequences. You didn't dispose of the body properly after the murder, so they should find out about Zhang Da's death soon. Did you run into any acquaintances on your way to Sujia Village?"

Su Yunhe thought for a moment, then firmly shook her head.

"No, I didn't run into anyone I knew. Zhang got up early to slaughter the pig, and most of the villagers were still asleep. When I ran out of the village, there was no one on the streets, and it was just getting light. By the time I got back to Sujia Village after running around, it had started to rain heavily, and no one on the streets or in the village saw me."

Seeing that no one she knew had seen Su Yunhe enter her courtyard, Su Banxia felt she could help Su Yunhe, after all, Su Yunhe was also a woman who had suffered greatly.

Although Su Banxia hadn't expected that Su Yunhe, after encountering such a serious problem, would be the first person to come to her for help, the current situation didn't allow her to think too much about it.

They had no choice but to find a place for Su Yunhe to hide for a while. Now that Zhang Da had gotten into trouble and Su Yunhe had run away, everyone knew that the murderer must be Su Yunhe.

So for now, the only thing we can do is let Su Yunhe hide and not be exposed to everyone's sight. That way, if no one can find her, there's nothing we can do. After a few years, when everyone has forgotten about this matter, we can change Su Yunhe's appearance, give her a new name, and let her live somewhere else.

The small courtyard on Dwarf Mountain definitely cannot take in Su Yunhe. If Su Yunhe's misdeeds are exposed, those who protect her will also be implicated. Therefore, Su Banxia does not want her parents to know about this.

So Su Banxia looked into Su Yunhe's eyes and said seriously:

“If they find Zhang Da’s body and then discover that you’re missing, they’ll know that you killed him. Since you came to Sujia Village to find me, it means you don’t want to confess your crime, right, Aunt?”

Upon hearing Su Banxia's words, Su Yunhe became even more nervous, gripping Su Banxia's hand tightly and nodding repeatedly.

"Banxia, ​​I know it's wrong of me to kill someone, but I just can't stand Zhang Da's torture anymore. He's a beast worse than a pig or a dog. I don't want to go through the ordeal of confessing to someone like him. Banxia, ​​can you save me?"

Su Banxia looked at Su Yunhe and slowly said:

“I can’t save your aunt. You can only save yourself. If I save you, and you get arrested, I will become your accomplice. I don’t want to go to jail for no reason.”

Upon hearing Su Banxia's words, Su Yunhe abruptly released her grip, lowering her head in disappointment.

"I know, Banxia, ​​I was too selfish. I shouldn't have come to find you. I shouldn't have dragged you into this. You're just an unmarried girl. I was really out of my mind. I don't know what I was thinking. I just inexplicably came to your doorstep..."

Su Banxia patted Su Yunhe's hand.

"I can pretend I don't know about what happened to you today, but I'm sure you don't want this to involve my grandparents, my parents, and my fourth uncle. He's getting married soon, and his future in-laws are from the wealthy Li family in Fuping County. If this matter prevents him from marrying into the Li family..."

Before Su Banxia could finish speaking, Su Yunhe stood up abruptly and said with a resolute expression:

"Banxia, ​​I understand. I won't harm my family. Everyone has a hard time, and I can't let my own affairs implicate you. I shouldn't have come back, and I shouldn't have come to Sujia Village. I should have turned myself in, or committed suicide. As long as I'm dead, all these things can be resolved..."

Upon seeing this, Su Banxia immediately grabbed Su Yunhe's hand.

“Aunt, who said you should die? Do you really want to die for a beast like Zhang Da? I'm just saying that if this matter comes to light, you can't betray us. But as long as you have a good hiding place, so that neither the big gang nor the authorities can find you, you can live peacefully in this world and live your own little life. After a few years, when everyone has forgotten about this matter, you can change your identity and go to another place to start a new life. You don't need to die for that kind of scum.”

Su Yunhe had thought she had no hope of survival, but hearing Su Banxia's words, she realized it wasn't that she didn't want to help her, but rather that she was afraid of implicating her classmate if her affair came to light later. So, she immediately grabbed Su Banxia's hand and swore an oath:

"Banxia, ​​don't worry. You helped me today, and I will never expose you. Even if I die, I will never betray you. Don't worry, Banxia, ​​as long as I live, I will do whatever you say."

Seeing that Su Yunhe agreed so readily, Su Banxia nodded. She then went to the window and, seeing that it was still raining heavily outside, took Su Yunhe's dirty clothes downstairs and burned them in the stove.

She went upstairs again to pack a few changes of clothes, made a bundle, and took two raincoats, one for herself and one for Su Yunhe.

Grabbing a rainproof lantern, calling out to Xiao Hei, they quietly opened the courtyard gate and led Su Yunhe up the mountain…
