After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

Chapter 253 Village Gossip

The owner of the meat stall over there shouted to Jiang Xiaohe, "Madam, your meat is ready."

Jiang Xiaohe said "oh" and quickly paid the money. She turned around and carried the meat back to the carriage. After thinking for a while, she said to Zhang Qingshan, "After you send me back to the village, you come to the town and help me keep an eye on that woman!"

After saying that, he pointed at Li Taohua's back.

Zhang Qingshan nodded: "Okay, ma'am."

The two returned to the village. Before Jiang Xiaohe even entered the house, she heard a quarrel in the village. The noise seemed to come from Li Taohua's parents' home.

After bringing the meat into the house, Jiang Xiaohe asked Wang Qiuxia, "Mom, what are you arguing about?"

Wang Qiuxia took the meat!

"Oh, you've been gone for a few days, and I didn't realize we've been arguing so many times these days!"

Jiang Xiaohe's gossipy heart was immediately ignited.

"what happened?"

"What else can we do? Chen Guifang and Zhang Yougen were having an affair at Chen Guifang's house and were caught by Wu Qiuhe!"

So exciting?

Wang Qiuxia saw her eyes light up and knew that she wanted to listen, so she pulled her into the yard to talk.

Jiang Xiaohe asked her to wait, and went to the kitchen to pour a bowl of water for each person, and took out some melon seeds and peanuts.

"Okay, Mom, you can tell me now!"

As she spoke, she grabbed a handful of melon seeds.

Wang Qiuxia followed her example and grabbed a handful as well, then she explained the story in detail.

It turned out that Wu Qiuhe had been ill before, and she knew that the two of them were having an affair, but she had no choice but to lie in bed. So, her family members knew that she was ill, so they arranged for someone to see her.

Now with the support of his mother's family, Zhang Yougen behaved well for a few days. Because of his honesty, Wu Qiuhe's illness recovered faster. In addition, with the visit of his mother's family, he was in a good mood, so he recovered even faster.

But this man started eating meat and never ate vegetarian food again.

Zhang Yougen flirted with Chen Guifang at the door of his house every day and had been greedy for a long time. When he saw Wu Qiuhe's family members left that day, he sneaked into Chen Guifang's house. Unexpectedly, Wu Qiuhe's family members forgot to take some things, so when they came back, they saw him going to Chen Guifang's house. When they caught Wu Qiuhe, they went to Chen Guifang's house together to catch the adulterer.

Wang Qiuxia said with disdain: "You don't know, I heard that when a group of people rushed in, the two of them were entangled naked, and the intruders saw it all!"

It’s so exciting.

"and then?"

"Wu Qiuhe naturally rushed forward and slapped Chen Guifang several times. Chen Guifang was naked and tried to use a quilt and clothes to block the blows, but the quilt and clothes were thrown into the yard by Wu Qiuhe's family."

Well done!

"She wanted to cover this and that, and was beaten half to death by Wu Qiuhe. If Zhang Yougen hadn't stopped her, she might have been beaten to death."

Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "Now that it's like this, the village chief doesn't do anything about it? I'm afraid the atmosphere in this village has been corrupted."

"Who cares! Wu Qiuhe wanted to beat Chen Guifang to death. Isn't it just to ask the village chief to come here to cause trouble for himself? Besides, many people in the village watched the fun and talked about it."

Jiang Xiaohe also frowned and shook her head: "After such a big incident, Li Taohua and Li Tieniu didn't come back to see their mother?"

"Why are you coming back to see me? This is embarrassing, not a good thing."

After finishing the gossip, Wang Qiuxia clapped her hands, stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, it's almost noon, I'm going to go cook. Your father is in the backyard. He said that many vegetables in the greenhouse have sprouted."

When Zhang Qinglian saw Wang Qiuxia cooking, she hurried over to help.

Jiang Xiaohe drank the bowl of water in one gulp, put down the melon seeds, and turned to go to the backyard.

Zhang Fugang just came out of the greenhouse.

"Dad, Mom said that many vegetables have sprouted?"

Zhang Fu smiled and nodded, his face showing some excitement: "I never thought that this out-of-season thing could be grown like this, it's amazing."

Seeing his excitement, Jiang Xiaohe smiled and said, "You've worked hard these days. I brought you some wine from the county town. You can have a couple of drinks when the time comes."

"Okay, okay, okay." Zhang Fulian said several good things, turned around and went back into the greenhouse.

Jiang Xiaohe also inspected several greenhouses. These greenhouses were well managed by Zhang Fu. There was not even a single weed in the fields. It seemed that he put a lot of thought into it every day.

A few more days passed. During these days, Jiang Xiaohe asked Zhang Qingshan to monitor Li Taohua every day. Wang Shuisheng at the yamen kept his mouth shut and refused to say who had instructed him to poison. He only said that he was possessed by the devil for a while. The yamen locked him up for a few days, beat him with a few boards and then released him.

The sky was extremely clear that day. The sun was shining brightly, and people felt warm in the winter. Jiang Xiaohe was lying on a rocking chair, holding Zhang Chuan in the sun. Xu Xiaohua and Wang Xiaoya were playing with red strings next to them. Then they saw Zhang Qingshan walking quickly over there:

"Madam, that woman is making some movement."

Jiang Xiaohe suddenly became excited and put Zhang Chuan to the ground.

"tell me the story."

Zhang Qingshan said respectfully: "I saw her and her maid, and they met another woman these days. They seemed to be planning something. I thought that woman was familiar to me before, but I just remembered who she was today. She is from your village."

From their village?

"what is it call?"

"I don't know her name, but I know where she lives."

As he said that, he asked Jiang Xiaohe to go out and pointed the way for her.

I looked at the direction and location: Zhang Xiu'e's house?

"Xu Xiulian?" Jiang Xiaohe asked.

As soon as she said the name, Zhang Qingshan nodded quickly: "Yes, it seems that the woman called her Xiulian!"

Birds of a feather flock together. Didn’t these two seem like enemies before?

How did they get along now? Something must be wrong!

She thought she could catch her meeting with Xie Sheng in private!

"Have you ever seen her in contact with other men these days?"

"Another man?" Zhang Qingshan tried hard to recall.

Then he nodded: "Yes, it was the man we caught from the government office that night. I saw him find the woman's backyard not long after he left the government office, but the woman didn't meet him. It was the woman's maid who met the man at that time."

She said that Wang Shuisheng was arranged by Li Taohua!

After all, the only person who had some connection with her in Longshui Town was Li Taohua. Apart from her, she really couldn't think of anyone else who would cause trouble for her!

"So she has never seen a man with a birthmark on his face?"

"Is there a birthmark?" Zhang Qingshan thought hard and finally shook his head: "No."

Jiang Xiaohe was a little disappointed. Logically, if Xie Sheng had given all the money he had extorted from her to Li Taohua, he would definitely meet Li Taohua. But why didn't he show up after being watched for so many days?

He shook his head slightly, somewhat confused.

Let's get back to the point: "What did you just say they were planning when they met?"

Zhang Qingshan nodded: "That's right, I heard what that woman said to Xu Xiulian. As long as she does what she said, she will get what she wants! Then Xu Xiulian asked her why she wanted to help her... The woman said... said..."

Zhang Qingshan looked at Jiang Xiaohe cautiously and didn't dare to say anything.

"Did that woman say that she didn't like me and wanted to make me unhappy, and that she would be happy as long as I was unhappy?"

Zhang Qingshan lowered his head and nodded slightly.

Jiang Xiaohe could have guessed it all. To be honest, she had never found fault with Li Taohua since she came here. But this woman was like a dog and wouldn't let go. Well, that was perfect. She could get rid of her in one go this time, so that she wouldn't jump out and cause trouble for her again in the future!

"Just keep watching. If you find anything wrong, come and tell me right away."

Zhang Qingshan nodded, turned around and was about to go back to the town. Zhang Qinglian was standing at the door, staring at him with a water bag in her hand.

Jiang Xiaohe didn't say anything and went back straight away.

Zhang Qinglian gave the water bag to Zhang Qingshan, who stroked her hair and said, "Be more diligent, okay?"

Zhang Qinglian nodded seriously and gestured to him to drive slower.

"Don't worry, I know."
