Chapter 401 Even if she were heartless, she wouldn't just pack up and leave.
The two men weren't stupid either; Chu Xin had asked so directly, they both realized that the other knew Zhao Dabao.
Now the two are experiencing contrasting fortunes: one is happy, the other is worried.
Liang Shangyou was pleased because Chu Xin spoke casually, and if you listened carefully, you could even hear a hint of schadenfreude in her voice. He concluded that she had a grudge against Zhao Dabao.
If the enemy of my enemy is my friend, does that mean I'm saved?
The man was naturally worried, but it was only for a moment. He realized after he spoke that he had seen this woman before. Her family members were low-ranking intellectuals who had been sent down to this place, and she was not a threat at all.
"Get out of here, or I'll call for help. What are you doing wandering around the farm so late? I'll report you and make sure your whole family, the elderly and the disabled, are all caught in the crossfire..."
Liang Shangyou was no fool; he knew what Chu Xin wanted to hear and quickly answered, "Yes, Zhao Dabao is dead!"
Chu Xin remained silent, squatted down, picked up the wooden stick the man had dropped, and examined it closely in her hand, as if it were some rare treasure.
Then, her cold gaze first fell on Liang Shangyou.
Liang Shangyou shuddered. For some reason, he immediately understood Chu Xin's meaning and quickly moved back to make room for her.
Chu Xin was satisfied, then turned to look at the man.
He still had that same defiant, glaring eye-opening look, trying to intimidate Chu Xin.
"What are you looking at, you son of a bitch... Ouch, you son of a bitch..."
Mmm?!
The man had just screamed when he suddenly realized he had lost his voice; no more syllables could be uttered from his wide-open mouth.
"Bang bang bang..."
Chu Xin remained silent, seemingly casually swinging the stick in her hand, striking down again and again.
Only the man who gets hit knows how damn painful that seemingly light blow really is!
He could even hear the sound of bones breaking.
Ahhhhh!
The silent screams, coupled with his ferocious and fearful expression, and the woman's indifferent expression as if swatting a mosquito, gave Liang Shangyou, an onlooker, the illusion of being in a dream.
terrible!
But why does this figure, silhouetted against the light and shadow, look so familiar?
Chu Xin stopped after knocking the man unconscious, casually tossing aside the wooden stick, clapping her hands, and looking at Liang Shangyou, asking him...
"What does Zhao Dabao's death have to do with you?"
When she asked, Liang Shangyou quickly regained his composure and dared not let his mind wander any further. When he mentioned his sad story, this grown man immediately burst into tears.
“I have nothing to do with his death. Really, he died suddenly on his own. I didn’t do it.”
"What are you saying? This is all nonsense," Chu Xin frowned.
"make it clear!"
Liang Shangyou was taken aback by her rebuke. He swallowed hard to calm himself down before saying:
“Zhao Dabao and I were classmates. He always acted arrogantly and domineeringly in our area because his family had an uncle who was a high-ranking official in Jinshi. In particular, he was very lecherous and often surrounded and harassed some female comrades. The most serious thing was that he drove one of our female classmates to death.”
Later, his family spent money and used connections to help him escape punishment, and he was sent to Jinshi to avoid trouble.
At that time, everyone in our commune breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that the scourge would stay in Jinshi and never come back.
Unfortunately, his good fortune didn't last long; he was brought back by his family after only a few days.
His family sought medical help everywhere, and only then did outsiders realize that he was sick and his health was deteriorating. Everyone thought that he would finally stop now, but to their surprise, he not only did not restrain himself, but became even more outrageous.
Even...his family members secretly helped him do evil, saying it was to leave him an heir..."
As he spoke, he clenched his fist in anger, his face contorted with unbearable pain.
Chu Xin knew that what he was about to say was probably something sad about him.
Sure enough, Liang Shangyou burst into tears and snot, crying as if he were dying.
"...Waaah...When the big leaders started encouraging educated youth to go to the countryside, I had just gotten engaged to my boyfriend. Our two families discussed that we could get married earlier so that we wouldn't have to go to the countryside."
Unexpectedly, when we went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy wedding supplies, we ran into Zhao Dabao.
At that time, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that he was in very poor health; he had not only lost weight, but his face was also pale and bloodless.
As he spoke, Liang Shangyou slapped himself twice, then beat his chest and stamped his feet in regret.
"I deserve to die too. I've long lost my backbone under the tyranny of the Zhao family. I even went out of my way to greet him."
Waaaaah... It was this greeting that made that bastard take a liking to my boyfriend. He kept bothering us until we got to a secluded spot, where his disgusting true colors were finally revealed..."
Chu Xin:......
That's hard to judge. Even if he and his partner managed to escape, that guy already had ulterior motives. It's not like he was safe just because he escaped.
However, these are all Liang Shangyou's own affairs, and she has no right to speak on them. She just wants to find out what she wants to know.
"So...you got into a fight with him?"
Then Zhao Dabao, who was already too weak to fight back, died directly?
Hmm... if that's the case, Chu Xin could only silently say sorry.
Liang Shangyou didn't even dare to cry loudly, showing that his short time on the farm had truly taught him a painful lesson. Hearing Chu Xin's words, he shook his head.
"If that's the case, I'll accept it."
My girlfriend is from the countryside and had never seen anyone like him before. She was so scared that she kept crying. I was also a coward at the time, so how could I possibly fight him? I just stood between us and wouldn't let him get close to my girlfriend.
After a brief standoff, he suddenly started vomiting blood as if he had a seizure. My partner and I were terrified and didn't dare linger. We ran away as soon as he was distracted…
Chu Xin interrupted him, "And then he died?"
"Um……"
Liang Shangyou was even more wronged than Dou E. Blood was still dripping from his head, mingling with his tears, making him look extremely pitiful.
Chu Xin felt a rare pang of regret.
If she had known Zhao Dabao was such a menace, she should have found a time to kill him completely before leaving.
If that were the case, perhaps none of these subsequent events would have occurred.
As for guilt.
That's not the case.
Zhao Dabao's provocation led to his death, which was the cause and effect between the two of them. Moreover, with Zhao Dabao's death a foregone conclusion, their matter was over for her.
It's just that the timing of his death was too coincidental, and Liang Shangyou was unlucky enough to be caught in it. You can only say it's all fate!
Ugh!
Chu Xin then asked him, "Is the reason you've become like this all due to the Zhao family's machinations behind the scenes?"
Liang Shangyou couldn't help but feel grief welling up again.
"Yes, not long after I ran home, the police came looking for me. Although the police later determined that Zhao Dabao's death had nothing to do with me, after all, many people knew that his family was going to various hospitals for treatment."
I naively thought that once I cleared my name, I would be safe from further trouble. But to my surprise, just two days later, I received a notice to go to the countryside.
No matter how much I struggled and begged for mercy, or even went to the police, it was no use. The people from the Revolutionary Committee said that this was an order from the top leader, and that if I disobeyed, I would be a reactionary and my whole family would be arrested and criticized.
So... I accept my fate..."
"call--"
Chu Xin put her hands on her hips and let out a long sigh of relief.
This whole mess has made it impossible for her, no matter how hard-hearted, to just walk away.
