Chapter 85 – The truth (1)
“Who?” Li Zheng asked.
Su Xiaoxiao said solemnly, “When I went to the back of the mountain to collect firewood, I heard Wang Laizi say that the girl from the Old Su family is really beautiful, if he can touch her, then he would not have any regret in this life! I suspect that Wang Laizi was trying to tease Su Jinniang, but was killed by Su Jinniang by mistake!”
What?
Everyone was surprised!
Su Jinniang frowned.
Mrs. Fang turned around and said, “Su Pangya! Don’t accuse my daughter! Wang Laizi wouldn’t dare to tease my daughter! My daughter didn’t kill Wang Laizi either! Jinniang hasn’t gone out since she came back from the field and has been working at home all the time! Our whole family can testify!”
Su Xiaoxiao folded her arms and said calmly, “You are a family, so of course you will testify for her.”
Very good, the words they used to refute Su Pangya just now were used by Su Pangya on Su Jinniang in the same way.
They didn’t believe that Su Jinniang would kill people, but Mrs. Wan didn’t jump out to refute it. Could it be…… there was really some inside story?
The reason why Mrs. Wan was silent was because his son really desired Su Jinniang——
Mrs. Zhou snorted, “How could a woman kill Wang Laizi? You think everyone is like you, a big fat woman with brute force!”
Su Cheng fiercely said: “What did you say? Who is the big fat woman?! Believe it or not, laozi1 will beat you!”
1Laozi (老子) : I / me (used arrogantly or jocularly)
Mrs. Zhou shrank back.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Then it means that she has an accomplice!”
Su Jinniang clenched her finger and opened her mouth, “You guys stop arguing! When Wang Laizi had an accident, I was helping in the kitchen at home. My mother said it was snowing, so she asked me to close the back door of the kitchen. Su Daya, didn’t you see it?”
Mrs. Fang hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, yes! I asked Jinniang to close the door!”
Su Xiaoxiao looked like she just realized it suddenly and said, “Oh, that person is you ah, It was snowing, so I didn’t see it clearly. I thought It was your older sister Yuniang.”
Mrs. Wang said: “Yuniang is at her husband’s house! She’s going to give birth soon, her body is heavy, so she can’t come back at all!”
This was something that the villagers knew.
Su Jinniang said to Li Zheng, “With Su Daya testifying for me, then it means I have cleared the suspicion, right?”
“Of course it is.” Li Zheng nodded. “So, both of you were near your house at that time, and the murderer was neither you nor Su Daya.”
Mrs. Wan howled out again, “Then, who killed my son?”
“This question.…..” Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes glanced and fell on Chun Ya, Mrs. Wan’s daughter-in-law. “Why don’t you ask your daughter-in-law?”
Chun Ya’s body trembled.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her with a faint smile on her face and said, “Chun Ya, it was you who told your mother-in-law that I had a grudge against Wang Laizi, right? I went to the back mountain to collect firewood by myself just now, and you also saw it too, right?”
Mrs. Wan said: “Su Pangya! What are you trying to say?!”
Su Xiaoxiao said: “Aunt Wan, your daughter-in-law is responsible for your son’s death! She deliberately picked a time when no one could testify for me, so she is free to put the blame on me! It’s just that a person’s plan is not as good as God’s plan. Su Jinniang saw me when she went to close her kitchen’s back door.”
“What Daya said is right!” Su Cheng always trusted his fat daughter without any doubt, “Surnamed Wan, the one who discovered the body was your daughter-in-law, and it was still warm when she found it. Maybe it was her who just killed your son!”
Mrs. Wan suddenly looked at Chun Ya!
Chun Ya’s face became deathly pale, and she hurriedly waved her hands: “Mom… no… it’s not me… I didn’t kill Dacai… I swear… I didn’t…”
Wang Laizi, named Wang Dacai.
She said she didn’t kill him, but her cold sweat clearly showed a guilty conscience.
Su Xiaoxiao took a deep look at her and said, “Even if you didn’t kill him, you should know who the murderer is.”
Mrs. Wan grabbed Chun Ya’s arm tightly and said, “Say it! Who is the murderer! You tell me! Tell me quickly—”
Chun Ya was pinched to the point of tears and said, “I can’t say……”
“Tell me quickly ah! Just who had killed my son—”
“That’s right, Chun Ya, you can just say it, right? Don’t take the blame for others.”
