Mysterious country

Chapter 56 Investigation
It took almost an afternoon for Xia Qi and Leng Yue to visit the whole Hulu Village and get acquainted with every villager.

But strictly speaking, the credit for this familiar face has almost nothing to do with Xia Qi. To put it bluntly, it is due to Leng Yue's heaven-defying appearance and his gentlemanly and elegant conversation.

In Xia Qi's words, the Leng bitch would have spit all over the floor, and only defecated everywhere.

No matter men, women or children in the village, the first thing they say when they see Leng Yue is that Xiao Ni is so handsome.Everyone is full of praise for his "beauty" and his elegant temperament, so that the self who also has good looks and temperament is completely ignored as air.

"This Xiaoni is quite handsome. Yueyue, why do you think you are so beautiful, come and give me a smile."

Walking all the way to Mrs. Chen, Xia Qi kept teasing Leng Yue sourly, but Leng Yue didn't pay attention to him at all, and didn't even bother to look at him.

"Hey, why are you so boring, don't let me talk about the talk show alone."

Seeing that Leng Yue couldn't listen to these unnutritious words at all, Xia Qi turned his eyes and changed the subject again and said:

"This afternoon was not a waste of time. At least I learned about some people and some things in this village, which is convenient for our subsequent investigation."

Listening to Xia Qi talking about the incident, Leng Yue finally spoke at this time:
"If we go back now, do we have to wait until tomorrow to find those people we inquired about in the afternoon?"

"Yo, my dear Yueyue, are you finally willing to speak up? Come on, Xiao Nier, give me a smile, and I'll tell you if I smile."

"I think it's time to undo the agreement we reached before."

"Okay, stop teasing you, let's be serious."

Xia Qi didn't want to lose Leng Yue's bodyguard, so he hurriedly brought up the topic again:

"Let's go back to Boss Chen first to see how his silly son is doing, and then go out to find out about the situation with those people. We won't be able to wait until tomorrow. After all, our time is limited, and we have to talk to that girl now." The ghost is racing against time, otherwise we will be finished when it starts killing."

In the afternoon, they went door-to-door as ZF employees. The reason for the visit was that the higher-ups wanted to strengthen the construction of Hulu Village, connect electricity, build roads, and trains, so they were sent to investigate first. Listen to the needs of the villagers.

I heard that they came to invest in construction, and the villagers received them very warmly, as if they were welcoming distinguished guests.Therefore, for their inquiries, most of them will answer their questions, and there are very few situations where they don't want to answer, and they hide and don't want to answer.

Regardless of the construction requirements raised by the villagers, the situation in the entire Hulu Village is very complicated based on what they have learned.

First of all, Hulu Village is dominated by one family, and this family is Boss Chen's family, and it is also where they live now.

Boss Chen spent many years outside when he was young, and he didn't come back until he was middle-aged. Not long after that, he took over the position of village head and started to carry out "monopoly reform".

First, at a seemingly high price, the land and fishing boats in the hands of the villagers were purchased, and then sublet them back at a higher price, and handed them over to the villagers for use again.

Among them, those who did not agree were naturally unavoidable that Boss Chen deliberately made troubles, so after a short time, some "nail households" also compromised, and they have become accustomed to this lifestyle of renting and working for decades.

However, in recent years, it may be that Boss Chen is getting older, or he wants to save something for his stupid son, so the rental price of both land and fishing boats has become very low. There is no doubt that his This approach also made the villagers change a lot about his previous "bandit" image.

When he heard that Boss Chen was so awesome in Hulu Village, Xia Qi was also secretly taken aback in his heart. He didn't expect that old black man to be such a ruthless person.

But what concerned him most was the fact that Chen Boss told Chen Cong about his wife.

Chen Cong is already in his 20s this year. According to the customs of Hulu Village, men usually get married before they are 20 years old, and girls get married earlier.According to the villagers, Boss Chen didn't want to find a wife for Chen Cong, but due to the pressure from his wife, who was noisy every day, he began to ask people to match him everywhere, hoping to find a daughter-in-law in the village.

But what kind of Chen Cong, they live in a village, there is no one who does not know, when most adults talk about children, they will use Chen Cong as an example, saying don't be like Chen Cong that idiot, who can't speak, can't speak sensible.

All in all, Chen Cong is equivalent to the negative teaching material in the village, the object of ridicule by the villagers, and the only balance point for them to compare with the Chen family.

It is precisely because the villagers know the situation of his stupid son that no villager is willing to marry his daughter to him. Even if there are villagers with other intentions who are willing, their daughters will be killed and they will not agree.

Although Boss Chen is old, he is not confused at all, so he can naturally see what the villagers mean.At the beginning of the period, the villagers were still very worried, fearing that Boss Chen was eager to find a daughter-in-law and would engage in coercion and inducement to marry him as before. However, they were somewhat surprised that Boss Chen gave up having people matchmaking in the village.

Not long after, he married Chen Cong a wife from outside the village.

Because the daughter-in-law, Boss Chen, hardly sees her coming out, so few people have come into contact with her, they just know her name is Xiaoli.She was married from outside, and she looks pretty.

As for why she married to this impoverished Hulu Village, why she married a fool, and even why she committed suicide, the villagers did not agree on these key clues.

Some people said that Xiaoli was sold to Hulu Village, others said that Boss Chen picked it up, and some even said that Xiaoli was actually a fool.

However, the villagers agreed that Chen's family was not good to Xiao Li, because when passing by his house, one could always hear the crying of women, as well as Chen Cong's silly laughter and cursing.

It can be seen that Chen Cong still has the habit of beating Xiaoli, and it is not accidental.

In addition, he also heard many villagers mention that Boss Chen and Xiaoli had such an affair, and because of Xiaoli, he always quarreled with his wife, and he was quite protective of Xiaoli.

This afternoon, there was only so much information that they felt was useful. Other than that, it was the confidantes who were usually close to Boss Chen.

They may know some secrets that outsiders do not know.
