Before being reborn and getting married, the pampered young lady emptied her family's assets to

Chapter 118 Gossip in the Village
After Anmin asked her question, the village secretary was taken aback.

He also turned his head to look at the low courtyard wall next to him, and then nodded.

"Pretty much. We don't have that much sandstorm here. Most of the houses have low walls like these, so we can hang things up here after we bring them in."

Upon hearing this, Anmin had an idea, but she couldn't tell the village secretary yet.

"what happened?"

Liang Yi whispered a question to her, and then An Min answered.

"I think something's fishy, ​​I'll tell you later."

After saying this, the two followed the village secretary into the house.

The village secretary introduced his wife, whose surname is Wu, and everyone in the village calls her Granny Wu.

Grandma Wu was a cheerful person, so she didn't ask any more questions. She only heard from the village secretary that the two of them were relatives who had come from afar, so she was very kind to them.

After the four of them had eaten together, Grandma Wu prepared rooms for them to stay in.

The village party secretary's house has three main rooms.

One of the rooms was originally intended for his son and daughter-in-law, but now they have moved to another city and are not at home.

After Anmin and Liang Yi rested in the main room, Anmin told Liang Yi about her discovery.

"Since this courtyard wall is so low, if Qian Xue doesn't want to be discovered, she'll definitely leave traces if she climbs over the wall, right?"

"I think we should take a walk over to Old Li's yard; maybe we'll find something?"

Liang Yi, who was standing to the side preparing malted milk powder for An Min with hot water, paused slightly upon hearing this, then nodded.

"Just the fact that Lao Li ran away after the incident makes me feel that he must have something to hide, but we don't have any evidence, so it's really difficult to do anything about it."

He stirred the malted milk powder in the cup with a spoon, set it aside to cool down, and then gave it to Anmin to drink.

"I feel that coming here has actually calmed my mind."

An Min reached out and took Liang Yi's hand, looking up at the man in front of her.

"If I were to sit at home waiting and doing nothing, I would overthink things. But here, I'm not as agitated."

Upon hearing An Min's words, Liang Yi reached out and patted her head.

He knew how important the role of mother was to Anmin.

That's why Andy On was able to so easily control An Min.

Now that Anmin knows her mother's death was not an accident, she is even less likely to let the real murderer go unpunished.

If this matter is indeed related to Qian Xue, then An Min will definitely do everything in her power to make her pay the price.

"Don't worry, Minmin, with me here, the most important thing for you to do right now is to get some rest."

With Liang Yi's comfort, An Min felt much more at ease. She turned to look at the scenery outside the window, but her mind was still on An Zhijie's words.

There's something Anmin has never been able to figure out.

Even if her mother was truly desperate back then, she shouldn't have chosen a man like Andy On.

How many hidden stories are there about what happened back then? Is what Andy On said just the tip of the iceberg?

What exactly led Andy On to marry his mother?

After watching An Min drink the malted milk powder, Liang Yi told her to rest at home while he went out for a walk.

This matter has caused quite a stir in the village, and no one wants to talk about it. Even if he goes out, he basically won't get any information, especially since there are police officers coming and going.

Not wanting to alert the enemy, he chose to walk around the field.

This village is called Zhengyang Village. There are some educated youth who stayed here and couldn't leave.

The population is quite large, not small at all; Liang Yi encountered quite a few people just as he walked around the fields.

Liang Yi had never been here before, so most people didn't recognize him. They would just give a second glance to any stranger they saw.

Just as Liang Yi was about to leave, feeling he had gained nothing, he suddenly overheard several elderly people talking about the matter ahead.

Liang Yi paused, quietly approached, and pretended to sit down and rest, listening to their conversation.

“I don’t think it was really Andy On who did it. Think about it, he’s only really mean to his wife. If we say a word to him, he gets scared out of his wits.”

An older man took a puff of his pipe, exhaled a cloud of smoke, and then said this.

An old man on the other side chuckled.

"You know what, I saw Old Li and his wife together before. Maybe An Zhijie caught them having an affair and is now being pushed out to take the blame."

"But it's strange, what does this have to do with Old Qi? Old Qi is about to have a grandson this year, and he doesn't have to worry about anything at home. It's really his bad luck to run into this."

Everyone was talking at once, and Liang Yi gleaned some insights from their words.

There's no smoke without fire. If Qian Xue and Lao Li really weren't involved, people wouldn't be saying this, so there's a high probability that the two of them are indeed having an affair.

After thinking for a moment, Liang Yi leaned closer.

He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to each of the men sitting there.

"I've heard you talking about this. Just who exactly is this Old Li?"

Liang Yi revealed a simple and honest smile, concealing the sharp and imposing aura in his eyes.

After saying that, he added an explanation.

“The village party secretary is my uncle. My wife and I came to visit relatives, and we were just strolling around when we heard everyone talking about this. I was really curious, so I thought I'd come and ask him.”

After hearing Liang Yi's words, and looking at the cigarettes in their hands, they exchanged glances and felt there was nothing to hide, so they told him.

"Old Li may not have any other skills, but he's great at getting involved with other women."

The first uncle to speak said something, and then another old man chuckled.

"However, there's another point: he knows all sorts of people from all walks of life, so he has quite a wide network of connections."

An Zhijie's wife was probably only with him for the chance to return to the city. Old Li had previously deceived many educated youth girls for the same reason.

After all, being able to return to the city was something they had always dreamed of; who wouldn't want to go back?

"So, does that mean he really had an affair with someone else's wife?"

Liang Yi pretended to hesitate before saying this.

"Who knows? We've only heard that without seeing the facts. But we can't say it's not true; An Zhijie's wife has indeed gone back."

After explaining to Liang Yi, everyone decided to get up and go home.

This incident in the village has made them ashamed to even hold their heads up when they go out.

People are saying that a murderer has come from their village.

What a crime.
