The Young Emperor and the Fearless

Chapter 213 Xian Liao (3)

After all, Zhou's parents started to prepare for Zhou Yingxue's funeral.

When the three of He Li passed by, several people were busy, setting up mourning halls and laying wreaths... Before they could gain a firm foothold, those people thought they were in the way, and said, "Let's go."

Ju Xie pulled He Li sideways, and four people came in carrying the coffin.

At the same time, the body of Miss Zhou, who had put on her shroud, was carried out, and Zhou's parents followed, crying silently into tears.

At this time, the feeling of separation between man and nature is especially obvious.

The Zhou family's parents were too sad to notice the three of them, but others did.

It was a neatly dressed middle-aged man with a modest attitude. He saluted first and then asked, "Are you relatives of the Zhou family who have never met?"

Heli said: "It's not."

The man smiled: "Let me just say, Miss Zhou has just passed away, and her relatives from afar will not come here so soon. These Yushu Linfeng should be the sons of a rich family. Dare I ask what is the relationship with the Zhou family?"

He Li didn't speak for a while, wondering why this person asked such a question.

The man hurriedly said again: "Don't misunderstand me, I am the owner of the shop that provided wreaths and shrouds for the Zhou family. When I learned that something happened to Miss Zhou, I specially sent these things here."

He Li said: "Didn't Zhou's parents find you?"

The man said: "The two elders lost their beloved daughter and couldn't accept it for a while, but it's really inappropriate to put Miss Zhou's body directly at home. I took the initiative to come to the door and bring these things for them."

Ju Xie said, "Send?"

The man said: "The Zhou family has always been kind and has helped me a lot. I also have a daughter who is about the same age as Ms. Zhou. Ms. Zhou was murdered. As a parent, I can understand their feelings. It's just the murderer who killed Ms. Zhou. I don't know how to catch it, I'm a stupid person, and I can't make suggestions for the Zhou family."

He Li said: "It is enough for you to have this intention, the Zhou family should be grateful to you."

The man replied politely: "I can only do something for Miss Zhou in the end, I am really ashamed. Hey, I just hope that the murderer can be found as soon as possible, so that Miss Zhou can rest in peace."

The generosity and kindness of the Zhou family over the years is still engraved in the hearts of caring people. When they can help, they are willing to help.Those indifferent onlookers earlier were only a minority.

The middle-aged man went to help the busy people, seeing that He Li also wanted to help, he quickly persuaded the people aside, he said: "Let them do these things, don't bother a few of you."

The man seemed to be worried that He Li and the other three would have to help after he was busy again, so he stopped and chatted with them casually.

He pointed to Zhou's parents who were lying beside the coffin, and said, "Let them cry for a while, and don't bother them for a while. Parents sending their children away, don't mention the feeling of being uncomfortable."

He Li said: "I heard that the Zhou family has a daughter?"

The man said: "Yes, after getting married, I almost never went back to my mother's house. That's good, it shows that the child lives happily and has not been wronged at her husband's house."

He Li said: "Miss Zhou passed away, maybe Zhou's parents haven't notified her yet?"

The man said: "Looking at them like this, they are definitely not. However, it's good if the eldest girl comes back to comfort the elders. As outsiders, we can't ask too many things."

Every word and every word of this person was considered for the Zhou family, and He Li could only nod in agreement.

The man continued: "It's strange to say, I don't know if you know, the Zhou family has a close relationship with Eldest Sister Cao. It stands to reason that Eldest Sister Cao stayed at the Zhou family long ago when something happened to the Zhou family. As an elder, she can Say something pleasant to the two elders of the Zhou family, but I have never even seen Eldest Sister Cao."

Speaking of this, it was also the reason why Heli came back to Zhou's house.

He Li asked: "Aunt Cao and this old man are sisters? Are they on good terms or not?"

The man let out a long sigh, and said, "The Cao family...it's hard to say."

He seemed to be thinking about where to start, and after a while, he continued: "The grievances between the old sisters of the Cao family have to start decades ago. I heard that the old sisters of the Cao family got along well in the beginning. That's right, but after they got married, the two families got close, and their husband's family often fought with each other, and no one could stop them. As time passed, their relationship faded, and there was resentment in their hearts. Every time they met We had to quarrel and blame the other party. At that time, I was still young and didn’t remember much, and every time I followed the adults past their house, I had to stay away from them.”

He Li stroked his chin and said, "What happened next?"

The man said: "Later, Elder Sister Cao lost her spouse and son, and her own sisters were unwilling to come forward. Elder Sister Cao lived alone next door for two years, her hair became grey, and her body collapsed. She couldn't do farm work. After spending all her money, she went to beg her own sister, but unexpectedly, she was asked an exorbitant request."

He Li thought of it: "Zhaizi?"

The man said: "That's right. Originally Eldest Sister Cao also lived in a big house, next to her sister. Later, the relationship deteriorated, and they felt that the other was an eyesore. Eldest Sister Cao's sisters asked her to give up the house and give it to her. She has a lot of money. Eldest sister Cao agreed, took the money and moved out, and found a thatched cottage to live in. I feel that her sisters gave her a lot of money. After so many years, it seems that she has not spent it all. However, there may be another reason, Elder Sister Cao is saving money, and many places are not willing to spend money."

He Li said: "Listening to what you said, the old man seemed to have a bad personality before."

The man said: "The Cao family are all of that kind of character. In the past, Elder Sister Cao was as sharp-tongued as her own sisters. However, she experienced a change in her middle age, and she has seen through life and death, and her temper has softened a lot. So Later, when people around mentioned the past, they all favored Elder Sister Cao, thinking that her own sister was at fault."

He Li said: "They are the same now, will they never communicate with each other?"

The man said: "The Cao family holds grudges very much, that's why the conflicts are getting deeper and deeper. It is estimated that when Elder Sister Cao dies of old age, her sisters will not be sad."

Since their relationship is so bad, why did they talk for so long under a roof outside Cao's house?

He Li said: "A family...why are they making such a fuss?"

The man said: "The Cao family seems to have thorns all over their bodies. They prick whoever they touch, not only to the people around us, but also to their own family members. As for us, we usually hide from them unconsciously. Far away, they live with their own family, and if they bow their heads but don’t look up to see each other, conflicts are unavoidable, and they all have hatred in their hearts!"

No wonder, the two brothers of the Cao family quarreled and fought outside, and complained that the other was looking forward to the death of their mother. In fact, they were almost the same. lights.

He Li said: "Brother Cao is interested in Miss Zhou, do you know?"

The man said: "The sons of the Cao family are all lustful people. You can tell by looking at the concubines they married. Miss Zhou was born beautiful, but she was ill in her early years and has always been weak. Moreover, Tang Qingyue, the number one beauty in Qingcheng, has not yet married. Everyone focused on Tang Qingyue. Even though Ms. Zhou's illness was cured, many people didn't know about it. People like Cao's son don't care whether the girl's family is sick or not, as long as he is satisfied. In the past, the Cao family also asked Ms. Zhou I mentioned marriage, but we all advised the Zhou family to think twice, and Miss Zhou herself didn't want to, so let's just let it go."

The more He Li listened, the more suspicious the Cao family became.

The man also said: "Miss Zhou died for no reason. To be honest, my first thought was to think of the Cao family. However, it is difficult to identify them without evidence."

He Li said: "Because Miss Zhou rejected their marriage proposal and made them lose face? But that was a few years ago."

The man said: "If you infer the behavior of the Cao family, just think on the bad side. As for me, anyway, I have never had a good impression of the Cao family. I came to my shop to buy shrouds a month ago, saying that I would pretend to be a ghost to scare people. , forcing people to submit or something is simply shameless."
