Crime Hunt Files: Bloody Angel

——Anmin Village——

Swish!

Wu Feng opened the curtains vigorously, and the dazzling sunlight came in, shaking Xu Mei awake on the bed.

She frowned in disgust, and couldn't help but curse in her heart, but she couldn't even utter a single word.

Because the person pulling the curtains was none other than her own mother.

Xu Mei let out a long sigh, covered her eyes with her arms, and wailed: "Mom!"

"Scream, scream, scream!"

Wu Feng picked up the broom beside the bed and put it on Xu Mei's butt!

"I asked you not to do anything but sleep!!"

Wu Feng was nearly 40 years old and had been doing farm work and housework for more than 30 years. Not only did she move quickly, but she was also very strong. Even though she was separated by a quilt, Xu Mei still rolled over in pain.

Lifting the quilt, she hid in the corner in her nightgown and looked directly at the fierce Wu Feng with trembling eyes.

They looked at each other silently for a moment. Suddenly, Wu Feng took the lead and raised his broom, pointed at Xu Mei, and asked: "What time is it now?"

Xu Mei was crowded in the utility room. She didn't know the specific time at all, let alone the wall clock, except for the mobile phone with a broken screen.

Fortunately, she can look at the sun, but not very accurately.

"Noon...around eleven o'clock?"

In an instant, the broom flew over and hit Xu Mei hard on the forehead!

Snapped!

She lowered her head and looked at the broom lying on the ground, filled with grievances.

"I'm not neglecting my business." Her voice was very low. "I was busy in the fields very late yesterday. I didn't have any work today, so I just thought too much..."

Before she finished speaking, she heard Wu Feng's footsteps. When she raised her head, she saw that Wu Feng, who was furious no matter what he did, had already left quickly.

Xu Mei looked at the wide open wooden door and murmured in a low voice: "I was busy in the fields very late yesterday. I have no work today, so I just want to sleep a little longer."

As soon as she finished speaking, her younger brother Xu Yuanhong fiddled with the new mobile phone Wu Feng gave him with both hands and walked past her door in a swaggering manner.

Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at the embarrassed Xu Mei, showing a mocking smile.

Xu Mei, who had long been used to strange things, didn't react at all. She just watched Xu Yuanhong walk over, then bent down to pick up the broom on the ground and put it back in its place.

She did this not because she had a good temper, but because if she didn't tidy up, Wu Feng would curse her with unpleasant words when he saw it when he came to pick up things from the utility room.

Picking up the phone and pressing it, Xu Mei looked down at 10:30 behind the crack, thinking that she really couldn't learn to look at the sun.

Walking to the living room, the dining table that usually folds up is spread out, with the leftover food for everyone in the middle.

Xu Mei looked at the three sets of used bowls and chopsticks placed around and knew that the family of three had already had lunch.

But it's okay.

Xu Mei went to the kitchen and took out a pair of clean dishes and chopsticks, turned around and pulled over the plastic bench to sit down, silently eating the cold food.

"girl!"

It's Wu Feng.

Xu Mei's breath was stagnant.

Every time Wu Feng affectionately calls her girl, there is only one thing.

"Come on, come on."

Wu Feng casually pulled over another plastic bench and sat down, pushing aside the dishes that Xu Mei had pulled in front of her. Then, she twisted the stack of photos in her hand into a fan shape like poker cards and thrust them in front of Xu Mei.

"Look, they are all young and strong young men. Do you like any of them?"

Urging marriage, urging marriage again.

Every time Wu Feng did this, Xu Mei's hands and feet became numb and it was difficult to breathe.

I don't know why, but she seems to be inherently bad at handling intimate relationships, and she can't even force herself to face strange men.

But Wu Feng persisted in getting her married. Since she was 16 years old, she had been urging her to get married for three consecutive years, becoming more and more anxious every year.

She knew that no one in the family liked her or needed her, but she didn't understand why Wu Feng was happy every time he introduced her to a blind date.

Is it a very honorable thing for a 19-year-old daughter to randomly choose a man she just met to get married?

Resisting the sour mood, Xu Mei turned away and pretended to be deaf and dumb while picking up the vegetables.

One bite at a time, he stuffed the dish into his mouth like a robot.

She wanted to get up quickly, wash the dishes, and go out quickly.

She wanted to put behind her the decisions that had been forced on her.

After gibbering introductions to no avail, Wu Feng threw the treasure-like photos on the dirty table. She suddenly snatched the chopsticks from Xu Mei's hands and threw them out!

"Eat, eat, and eat!"

Wu Feng tapped Xu Mei's temple with her index finger. She was like a lifeless rag doll, her body shaking with external force.

"Do you know how difficult it was for me to get these photos? Do you know how many families in the village are anxious to find a son-in-law for their daughter?! How fierce is the competition!? Every time I ask you to go on a blind date, you are unwilling. You reluctantly go. , and made everyone unhappy, do you know that now the matchmakers will avoid you when they hear your name! !"

"Then I won't marry."

Wu Feng stared, furious: "Say it again."

Xu Mei turned to look directly at Wu Feng and said without fear, "Then I won't marry."

Snapped!

The hot slap on Xu Mei's face was unexpected, but also reasonable.

Wu Feng's eyes were red, tears welling up in her eyes.

It was obvious that she was the one who hit people, but she seemed to have been greatly wronged.

"You unfilial son, I have raised you so much, how can I still harm you?! Don't you think about why I am so anxious for you to find your husband's family? It's not because I don't want you to marry the one left by someone else! You don't want to get married. What will you do when you are not married? Who will take care of you!?

Wu Feng took a deep breath, raised his hand to wipe the tears on his cheeks, and continued.

"Remember, in the eyes of people around you, only women who are married and have children are normal. If you don't get married, you will be single all your life. Just the gossip behind your back can break your spine. There are not many opportunities. Think about it. Your good friend Zhang Yanyan, please take care of it yourself."

After Wu Feng got up and left, Xu Mei lowered her eyes and looked at the photos she left on the table, and said indifferently: "I don't think Yanyan is living a good life."

"Don't you think?" Wu Feng turned around, "You know better than me how poor Zhang Yanyan's family is, right? If she hadn't married a good family, would she have been able to live in such a good house in this life? Get in a car?"

"But she has to prepare meals for her husband's family of seven people three times a day. When there are still two dishes left, the parents-in-law, mother-in-law, uncles and uncles who are not working have already served half of the food on the table. When she gets up, the table is full. There is more garbage than there is on the table in front of me! The food she worked so hard to prepare can only be eaten after everyone disperses, and then she has to wash all the piles of dirty dishes. Put it back in place! Two hours later, before she even finished cleaning, her newborn baby was already crying and fussing. No one could help her. This is what she told me personally. No one could even help her. There’s no time to rest!”

Xu Mei looked up at Wu Feng and said sadly: "What's the difference between this and being married as a maid?"
