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

Chapter 264 Caught

It didn't take long for everyone in the village to know about Chen Guifang's pregnancy.

When Jiang Xiaohe found out, she opened her mouth slightly and then said, "She is in very good health."

Wang Qiuxia said with disdain: "How shameless!"

Jiang Xiaohe asked her, "Is the baby Zhang Yougen is pregnant with?"

"Whose it could it be if not his? I heard that when Chen Guifang got into trouble, Zhang Yougen was working in the fields. When he heard about it, he dropped his hoe and ran away. When he returned, he saw that Chen Guifang really had a miscarriage, so he ran to Zhang Xiu'e's house and made a scene. But in the end, he was scolded by Zhang Xiu'e before he left. When he ran back, he was pestered by his wife Wu Qiuhe and made a scene again. In the end, he fainted in his own house."

Jiang Xiaohe was peeling melon seeds and shook her head as she listened: This is true love!

"So Chen Guifang was just lying there alone at home?"

"How could that be possible? She said she gave money to the villagers and asked them to go to the town to inform Li Taohua and Li Tieniu, but the two siblings haven't come back yet, and I don't know if they will take care of their mother."

Notify Li Taohua?

Jiang Xiaohe couldn't help but smile: It would be great if Li Taohua came back. The yamen runners sent by the head of the pavilion would be preparing to play tricks at night, and then they would teach the mother and daughter a good lesson!

The next morning, Jiang Xiaohe was washing her underwear in the village when she heard someone by the river say that Chen Guifang's house was haunted last night. The person who said that was exactly the neighbor who lived not far from Li Taohua's house.

"Why is there a ghost on such a nice night?" Jiang Xiaohe asked pretending to be ignorant.

The man said angrily, "What can we do? It must be that Chen Guifang cheated on her. Her husband's coffin couldn't cover it anymore, so he ran out to scare her."

Many people agreed.

Jiang Xiaohe chuckled, stood up, and left with the basin.

I heard that Li Taohua wanted to go back to the town the next day, but Chen Guifang held her back and wouldn't let her go. The noise was quite loud, and finally the village chief stepped in to resolve the issue.

Everyone in the village laughed and scolded Li Taohua for being unfilial. Her own mother couldn't even get out of bed, but she still wanted to go to the town to enjoy a good life.

However, from that day on, there were rumors of ghosts in the village every day, and they all came from Li Taohua's house.

This caused panic in the whole village and everyone was scared.

Before, Zhang Yougen woke up and shouted that he wanted to take care of Chen Guifang, but after hearing the sounds of her family being frightened coming from her house every night, Zhang Yougen would take a detour when going to the fields and never pass by her house, for fear that Chen Guifang's man would find him.

Wu Qiuhe looked at him, put his hands on his hips and cursed: "Don't you like that old man? Go to her house to find her again, go hang out with her, what are you afraid of!"

Zhang Yougen didn't dare to say anything else and just called her a psycho. However, he was really scared in his heart and secretly ran to burn incense to Chen Guifang's man, saying that he didn't do it on purpose and that it was Chen Guifang who seduced him and he just couldn't control himself for a moment.

After he left, two yamen runners came out from behind the graveyard, chewing steamed buns and saying, "There are so many troubles in this village."

In just a few days, Chen Guifang became extremely thin, and Li Taohua was not much better.

In the middle of the night, a group of yamen runners suddenly ran into the village and went straight to Chen Guifang's home.

When the village chief arrived, the yamen runners had already dug out Xie Sheng's body from her backyard. The body was so rotten that it was unrecognizable.

The onlookers covered their noses and some even vomited out the food they had eaten that night.

The yamen runners lit torches, lighting up the yard as bright as day. Chen Guifang and Li Taohua looked at the corpse that had been dug out, collapsed to the ground, and were directly put in shackles by the yamen runners.

This incident really frightened the villagers. Wasn't this a ghost story? How did it turn into a murder?

At this time, Xie Fu in the crowd saw the clothes next to the body on the ground and suddenly shouted, "Isn't this the clothes of my brother Xie Sheng?"

Only then did everyone notice the rotten clothes next to it. Although there was mud on them, they could vaguely see the color. They were Xie Sheng's clothes.

Xie Fu thought of something and collapsed to the ground. "This... is this my brother?"

The bailiff looked at him and said, "You just found out? Mr. Xie has been missing for half a year, and you never suspected it?"

Xie Fu only knew that he had fled for fear of crime and never thought that he was missing!

He wanted to crawl towards the body, but the smell was unbearable, so he could only collapse on the side, crying and vomiting: "Brother!"

The bailiff took the man away amid the discussions of the villagers.

Only then did everyone realize that it was not the dead man Chen Guifang who was haunting these days, but these yamen runners who were pretending to be ghosts.

They pretended to be the dead Xie Sheng, with the purpose of making the mother and daughter admit to killing Xie Sheng and then finding Xie Sheng's body.

When Zhang Yougen and his wife learned the truth, they were terrified, especially Wu Qiuhe. Some time ago, she actually yelled at a murderer and touched her neck, thanking herself that she was still alive.

Zhang Yougen hugged her and cried, "I will never mess around outside again."

When Li Taohua and Chen Guifang were taken away, Jiang Xiaohe was sitting on a rocking chair in the house, hugging Xie Chuan and telling him the stories behind idioms to coax him to sleep.

Zhang Chuan listened to these stories and asked his mother, "Mom, how do you know so many stories?"

Jiang Xiaohe scratched his nose and said, "You will understand if you read more books in the future. Books can reveal your golden house and your beautiful wife."

"Did you read all your mother's stories from books?"

"Of course! When Chuan'er is two years older, I will send you to school, okay?"

Zhang Chuan nodded: "Okay, then I will be able to know so many stories like my mother."

Jiang Xiaohe patted his head: "Okay, it's time to go to bed."

Zhang Chuan closed his eyes.

Seeing that he fell asleep, Jiang Xiaohe turned around, washed up briefly, and then fell asleep.

Li Taohua was arrested by the yamen runners. It was said that Nian Guozhu found out that she had killed someone, so he wrote a letter of divorce the next day and divorced her directly.

He then proposed marriage to Xu Xiu Lian. He was divorcing his wife the day before, but married her the next day.

Xu Xiulian was originally going to be his concubine, but unexpectedly, this incident happened and Li Taohua was thrown into jail. She went from being a concubine to being the mistress, which made Zhang Xiu'e very happy.

While dressing her up, he said with a smile: "My daughter is born with a good life. Whoever stands in your way will die!"

After Xu Xiulian knew that she was marrying someone else, although she looked happy on her face, she was not happy in her heart. After all, the person she wanted to marry in her heart was still Wang Hong.

When the villagers found out that Xu Xiulian had married Boss Nian again, they were even more saddened and thought that this matter was ridiculous.

On the other hand, Meng Hetang received a letter from the county saying that the house in the county town was almost finished, and asked Jiang Xiaohe to go over for inspection. If there was no need to change anything, the business could be opened as soon as possible.
