Rebirth: Don’t be a coward and be a mother’s baby

Chapter 57 The strange death of grandpa
Xie Jianjia returned to Ningli County. Two days after Dong Feng came back, he went out to sell goods, leaving her and Grandma Dong living in the Dong family.

Huang Qiaoxiu was also driven around by Huang Zhide without being seen.

The Xie family next door was a little too quiet. Wang Meihua and Wu Xue had stayed in the city hospital for several months and still had no sign of coming back. Xie Jianjia occasionally bumped into Xie Dahai, either coming out of the mahjong room or smelling of alcohol and With Liu Nanfei's arms around his back, and no mother-in-law and daughter-in-law watching over him, he lived his life in the dark as he pleased.

Half a month passed in an orderly manner. Xie Jianjia was busy going to school and met Zhou Chunyan twice. Zhou Chunyan was also busy setting up a stall in a restaurant without touching the ground, but she made money and smiled more and more on her face.

On this Friday, Xie Jianjia was doing homework in the room. Suddenly she heard messy footsteps coming from outside the house, and she looked up following the sound.

It was the county magistrate Dong Ming, followed by Zhou Chunyan.

Seeing her mother suddenly arriving, Xie Jianjia was a little surprised. There were only two days until the weekend, so why didn't her mother set up a stall to find her?

Xie Jianjia: "Mom, why are you here? Aren't you going to set up a stall today?"

Zhou Chunyan stepped forward, touched Xie Jianjia's braid, and explained to her daughter.

"In the past two days, the police were investigating a case that happened more than ten years ago. They found out that it was related to the Zhou family and the Xie family, so they came to me and asked me if I knew anything about it. I was not married into the Xie family more than ten years ago. I What could I know, but thinking that it might have something to do with me, I followed the police back to Ningli County."

After saying that, Zhou Chunyan's eyes shifted from Xie Jianjia to Dong Ming and said: "I just arrived at the Liu's Fruit Shop and met your Uncle Ming. Your Uncle Ming is familiar with the police. After hearing the police case, he said that his aunt I was a neighbor of your grandfather, and I told the police about a few elderly people with whom your grandfather had a good relationship during his lifetime, and then I came back with County Magistrate Dong."

It turned out to be like this, we met by chance.

Xie Jianjia was curious: "What case is it?"

Zhou Chunyan sighed and told Xie Jianjia about Mr. Xie whom she had never seen before.

"Your grandfather was a barefoot doctor. He often went to underground villages and towns to treat people. 15 years ago... he went to the village where I lived at that time to treat people. Later, a woman died in the village."

At that time, Zhou Chunyan was in her second year of high school and lived on campus. The village was more than ten miles away from the school. She only went home on Fridays and had to leave after two days, so she didn’t know much about the village.

The police told her that 15 years ago, Mr. Xie was practicing medicine everywhere. He happened to come to the village where Zhou's family lived. A very poor family in the village had a woman who was seriously ill. Mr. Xie came to treat her out of his kindness.

As a result, Mr. Xie left the poor family not long after he stayed, and the next day news spread that the daughter-in-law had died of illness.

Later I learned that the poor family was a widower with three older single sons. The family had no money to marry a wife. The wife was abducted from another place by the third of the three brothers.

Two years after the woman's death, her family, who had been searching for her for more than ten years, finally got the news through various means. A family of more than 30 people drove a dozen cars to the village.

Unfortunately, they only saw a small grave without a monument.

Due to a flood that flooded half of the village the previous year, the original village was classified as a government project along with several neighboring villages and all were demolished.

The woman's family was rich and powerful, and they quickly found the family of four who abducted the woman. In the following days, the four people died of "bizarre" serious illnesses, and suffered inhuman torture before their deaths. Even the people related to the incident were different. If something goes wrong, some people will be killed or injured.

Xie Jianjia was confused after hearing this.

"Then isn't this case solved? Why is it related to Zhou Bai...grandpa and grandpa again?"

The woman's family must have investigated everyone who came into contact with the woman. If Zhou Baijin and Mr. Xie were involved, with the woman's family power, something must have happened to both of them... Something happened?

Xie Jianjia suddenly remembered something and it suddenly became clear to her. Why didn't something happen? !

Wasn't the year after the woman's death the year that Zhou Chunyan became pregnant?That year, Mr. Xie went to the village to see a doctor in the rain and died on the way back.

Xie Jianjia: "Mom, grandpa, did he kill that woman? No, wasn't that woman already seriously ill at that time, so grandpa just didn't cure her?"

Zhou Chunyan shook her head: "I don't know either, but there was indeed something fishy about your grandfather's death that year. This matter needs to be investigated by the police."

Xie Jianjia: "Then grandpa..."

Zhou Chunyan shook her head again, "I don't know, but your grandpa and they are indeed from the same village. There should be nothing to do with it. Otherwise, how could they have allowed your grandpa to live freely for so many years."

This is quite rebellious and unfilial to say.

Dong Ming on the side was listening to the conversation between mother and daughter while checking Xie Jianjia's homework with his eyes.

I was still sighing in my heart that this little girl's handwriting was much better than that little brat at home who looked like a dog crawling, then I heard the mother and daughter talking about Zhou Baijin.

Dong Ming thought that Zhou Chunyan was afraid of something happening to the Zhou family, so he said, "Sister Yanzi, don't worry too much. I asked the police comrades

Xie Jianjia nodded. She didn't like people who wandered in the gray area, but the woman who was abducted into the village was really regrettable.

Speaking of Zhou Baijin, Dong Ming remembered another thing. He moved his eyes away from Xie Jianjia's homework book and looked at Zhou Chunyan.

Dong Ming: "Sister Chunyan, I have some clues about what Jiajia asked me to investigate last time, but it's been a long time ago and there are a lot of people involved. We have to wait a little longer. You... better be mentally prepared in advance."

These words made Zhou Chunyan confused. Why was her daughter asking Dong Ming to investigate something? How could she be mentally prepared?

Hearing Dong Ming's words, Xie Jianjia understood clearly. It seemed that Zhou Baiqianqianqingyou Qian Xiao had really done something deeply involved with Zhou Chunyan.

Xie Jianjia looked at her mother: "Last time, I asked Uncle Daming to help investigate the matter between Qian Qingyou and grandpa."

Dong Ming nodded, hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhou Chunyan, and asked tentatively: "Sister Chunyan, if Zhou Baijin has done anything to regret you, you..."

Zhou Chunyan, who had stayed out of the matter, turned pale when she heard this.

She had always known that Zhou Baijin didn't like her daughter. Zhou Baijin had done so many things to treat her harshly over the years, including but not limited to forcibly marrying her to Xie Dahai, sending her to Qian Xiao's bed the day before New Year's Eve, and in the future, Things before getting married.

Looking at Dong Ming's heavy expression, she really couldn't imagine what Zhou Baijin could do to her that could make Dong Ming feel sympathetic in his tone.
