"Have you heard? Lin Yifan killed Li Hao and is now locked up at the police station."
"What a fem fatale! Just got a little fa and now she’s in trouble, well, she’s done for now."
"She would have been better off staying clueless. Now she’s going to prison, and Xiao Cui will just marry soone else."
"Acting like a thug in college got him into trouble, now he’s in jail again over so rivalry, this guy’s clearly got character issues!"
"Serves him right for flaunting his fancy car all the ti."
"I told you he’s no good, it’s finally proven! Heaven has eyes!"
The news of Lin Yifan’s imprisonnt had already spread across the entire Taoyuan Village via WeChat.
The won gathered together also shared their opinions.
"You people, have you no conscience at all? Yesterday you were lining up to ask for his help, and now you’re cursing him behind his back? Aren’t you afraid of getting struck by lightning?"
Suddenly, Xu Fengxian burst out, hands on her hips, angrily shouting.
This yell imdiately silenced many.
However, so couldn’t stand it and stood up to argue with her.
"Xu Fengxian, why are you yelling? It’s only right to pay for murder with one’s life and debts with money. Am I wrong? People like him end up in jail sooner or later, and as for you, a widow sleeping around, how do you even show your face?"
"Sun Guilan, I’ve never cheated on my husband, don’t think we don’t know about you and Gou Sheng’s dad sneaking into the cornfields, you shaless thing, and you have the nerve to talk about ."
Xu Fengxian, hands on her hips, said, making the other turn pale.
"Widow Liu, you’re talking nonsense, watch not beat you to death!"
Gou Sheng’s father, unable to hold back, picked up a club and made to start a fight.
But just then, Xizhu ca over with a hoe, bringing a few coworkers from the construction site with him.
"Who dares to slander my brother behind his back, I’ll bury him alive today!"
Xizhu, burly and fierce, glared with rage.
Frightened, those few imdiately got up and ran towards their hos, and the others dared not speak further.
After the commotion, Xu Fengxian was pulled back to his house by Xizhu.
"Sis, what should we do? Yifan was fine at noon, how did he beco a murderer?"
At that mont, Jiufeng was sitting in the yard, her eyes vacant.
Seeing Xu Fengxian, she imdiately clung to her arm in tears.
"It’s too soon to say anything since it’s not settled yet. Let’s go to the police station tomorrow in daylight. I’ll even sell the family silver to hire the best lawyer for him."
Xu Fengxian sat on the stool, her face filled with sorrow.
Faced with such a situation, she had no idea what to do.
"Even with the best lawyer, it’ll be a big case, Yifan is a good person, how can he suffer this?"
Jiufeng wiped her tears, sobbing continuously.
Xizhu sat beside her, angrily throwing his cigarette butt to the ground.
"Stop crying. First thing in the morning, I’ll go to the police station and confess to exchange for his release."
"Xizhu, don’t make things worse, it’s not that simple."
Xu Fengxian quickly persuaded.
"What’s the trouble? It’s just killing soone; I’ll insist it was , a life for a life. Anyway, for soone like , it’s the sa everywhere. But if I do get executed, Jiufeng, you must take care of my parents."
Xizhu said heroically, looking at Jiufeng.
"Stop saying foolish things. You’re at the construction site all day where everyone can see; how could you have killed anyone?"
Jiufeng sighed, knowing this wasn’t sothing that could be traded for life.
"Then... what do we do?"
Xizhu pounded his fist into the ground.
This heavy charge of murder was a disaster, and even though he wanted to die for Lin Yifan, he couldn’t do it.
"Luckily, mom remains comatose, otherwise, if she knew about this, who knows what would’ve happened. Anyway, I’ve decided, if Yifan goes to prison, I’ll marry him and take care of his mother."
Xu Fengxian pursed her lips.
This might be the first ti she resolved to remarry.
At this mont, Liu Laoda’s house was also in chaos.
"Tomorrow, send Xiao Cui back to school. We’ll rent a place in the Provincial City for her, and you can stay with her. Don’t co back."
Boss Liu said, smoking from the sofa.
"Will Xiao Cui agree?"
Li Guixiang looked anxiously towards the inner room.
Since returning, Xiao Cui had been lying in bed crying.
"She doesn’t have a choice. Even if I have to drag her away, I will. You know how the villagers talk, it will just get worse. Let’s first leave the village, and once I handle things here, I’ll find a job in the Provincial City; we won’t co back."
Boss Liu lit another cigarette, taking a deep inhale.
"I won’t go. I’m waiting for Yifan to co back!"
Xiao Cui suddenly opened the door, walking out with tears on her face.
"You have to listen to . Tell truthfully, did you... were you... violated?"
Strangely gone for seven or eight hours.
Not just gossip, even Boss Liu had doubts.
After all, how could a man and a woman out alone for so long not be...?
"How many tis do I have to say it for you to believe... fine, I was violated, are you satisfied? I’m telling you, I’m an adult now... I make my own decisions. If Yifan doesn’t co back for a day, I’ll wait a day, if he doesn’t return in a year, I’ll wait a year, if never, then I’ll wait a lifeti, even if I die, I’m not leaving Taoyuan Village!"
Xiao Cui shouted.
"Xiao Cui, he’s a murderer now, we should lie low for a while!"
Li Guilan hurried to Xiao Cui’s side, holding her arm.
"Mom, you once said that finding a good man is most important in a woman’s life, and Yifan was worth a lifeti of trust. You told to seize the opportunity, but now you want to hide? Even if he is a murderer, he killed for my sake, and if I leave, what does that make ?"
Xiao Cui looked tearfully at Li Guilan.
She couldn’t believe they would choose to leave in Lin Yifan’s perilous tis.
"We’re doing this for your own good; he may have been great before, but that was then. You’re still young and have a long life ahead, you can’t ruin it over him!"
Boss Liu angrily stamped his cigarette into the ground.
"I don’t care, if it’s not Yifan, I won’t marry anyone this life!"
After saying that, Xiao Cui turned and entered her room, closing the door tightly.
Seeing their daughter like this, Liu Laoda and his wife could only sigh heavily.
This small Taoyuan Village was destined not to have a peaceful night.
Unbeknownst to them, beyond their knowledge, a group secretly entered this quiet mountain village.
With their arrival, shadows hidden all around swiftly headed toward Black Bear Valley.
