Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 708: 708 reaction

Xiao Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was really scared when she heard Huang Ying had murdered someone.

It’s hard to imagine a normal girl being able to kill someone.

But she had a man to back her up, so she wasn’t afraid.

Jing Chu and Guodong, along with Xiao Qiang, followed behind the couple. Jing Chu also felt scared. Murder is not the same as killing a chicken or a fish.

”Jing Chu, the police comrades are right, she has already escaped. Village Chief Wang also said that most people would run far away, so don’t worry. Usually, don’t act alone, I’ll be with you if anything happens.”

Old Yang turned around ”Guodong is right, none of you should act alone.”

Everyone nodded, ”Guodong, when you’re free from farming, go learn some moves from Monk Master.”

”Yeah, I’ve learned a bit this year. Once the autumn harvest is over, I’ll take leave to go.”

”Brother-in-law, I want to go too.”

”Okay, you all can go.”

The group went home. There was no work this morning, so everyone returned earlier.

Sister-in-law Wu already had the steamed buns on the stove and was preparing dishes.

She wasn’t a talkative person, so even though she was curious about the events, she didn’t ask.

However, Jing Chu sat down to tend the fire and talked about Huang Ying’s case.

”Aunt Wu, it’s really unexpected. Huang Ying, a murderer. Do you think they got it wrong? She always seemed tired from work; how could she possibly have killed five men?”

”Jing Chu, regardless of whether it’s true or not, it has nothing to do with you, but you should be careful.”

”Yeah, I know. I just find it unreasonable.”

They didn’t know, but Old Yang knew that Huang Ying drugged them. But what was this drug about? Was it those she bought from the hospital? I should try it myself when I have time. Didn’t expect this woman to have such abilities?

Huang Ying seemed like a girl who loved to take advantage, nothing special, yet she had the guts to murder. From Xiao Wei’s description, her actions were ruthless.

After lunch, everyone went to rest. They had to work again in the afternoon.

At noon, Xiaojuan and Chen Hui also came to the Zhiqing area. Xiaojuan brought food supplies, she was responsible for cooking.

Later, they sat together, but the meal felt tasteless.

Wu Hong’s face had no color ”You all don’t know, when Huang Ying left, she told me to change my bad habits and said we definitely have a chance to leave.”

Everyone looked at her. Wu Hong was the last to have contact with Huang Ying.

”She also gave me snacks. Now thinking back, she probably already had the idea of killing at that time, right?”

They all knew in their hearts that Wu Hong was right.

”We shouldn’t act alone anymore. Although Huang Ying has escaped, we must be on guard,” Chen Hui warned them.

Everyone nodded. They had been living together for two years, never expecting her to be so ruthless.

”Comrades, I’ll definitely change in the future. I want to join you all, I’ll take responsibility for cooking. I’ll change for sure.”

Chen Hui and Xiaojuan had already moved out, so they couldn’t answer.

Fu Xiaoping nodded ”Okay, we must stick together.”

Not only the Zhiqings were discussing this matter, but everyone in the village was talking about it.

Zhou Zhenjiang seemed dull, he was now scared.

”Dad, can I join the army?”

”But didn’t you previously refuse to?”

Zhou Zhenjiang wiped his face ”A while back, I wanted to date Huang Ying, but later I found she wasn’t right for me. I don’t like that type of personality, so we didn’t work.”

Secretary Zhou was stunned for a moment, then sighed ”Okay, tomorrow I’ll go to the post office to call your second brother. Be honest and stay put for the time being.”

Things have reached this point, scolding won’t work. Joining the army isn’t bad, you can learn skills there.

Mrs. Zhou put down her chopsticks ”Although Huang Zhiqing isn’t likable, I still don’t believe she committed murder, why would she kill? There should be a reason, right?”

”Alright, stop talking, let’s eat quickly and go rest. We must work in the afternoon.”

All families cautioned their members to never act alone. The impact of Huang Ying’s case was terribly negative.

The whole village was on edge, after all, this was no small matter.

They distanced themselves more from the Zhiqings. No one wanted to interact with them. They felt against them deeply.

In the afternoon when they returned to work, those women who loved to gossip didn’t talk to the Zhiqings anymore.

Fu Xiaoping felt stifled, was he implicated?

But this was human nature, everyone understood it. But despite understanding, it was still uncomfortable.

Xiaojuan and her husband worked together. Xiaojuan wasn’t as panic-stricken as the others. She strongly felt this wasn’t done by Huang Ying, she didn’t have that kind of nerve.

Huang Ying was a thick-skinned person with many plans, no lower limits. Saying she could murder, she absolutely didn’t believe.

Usually, everyone worked while chit-chatting, but this afternoon, everyone was focused on their own work.

Wang Shulin walked around, sighing in his heart. This matter really shocked everyone. This year, he wouldn’t take any Zhiqings for sure.

With such an incident, he would definitely receive criticism, but this was a perfect excuse to refuse. Definitely a taxing and thankless task.

The police didn’t immediately leave but went to the town to report the incident to the local leaders.

The issue was extremely vile, it shocked everyone. A female Zhiqing with such audacity? How about the robust male Zhiqings?

Xing Xiangzhang understood the severity of the issue, so he tasked the clerks to notify each village, urging everyone to heighten vigilance.

He also felt a headache, he’d surely be scolded this time, but he didn’t plan to criticize Wang Shulin, he couldn’t have known, knowing people doesn’t mean understanding their hearts. Who could tell? Especially a female Zhiqing.

Now, the community members in the villages under the town had quickly spread the news about the female Zhiqing’s murder, it circulated swiftly in their monotonous lives.

All villagers were particularly resentful towards Zhiqings, except Li Family Village had no Zhiqings, villagers in other villages had conflicts with Zhiqings.

Zhiqings also felt extremely unjust. They didn’t do it, right? Why look at them with prejudice, ostracize them?

Thus, Zhiqings all requested leave the next day and went to the Zhiqing office.

Lantian was a bit late today, her child was unwell. The aunt helping care for her child had taken leave, so she arrived late.

Upon seeing most Zhiqings had arrived, Lantian was quite puzzled.

”Comrade Lantian, we want to see Director Zhao.”

Lantian, startled by the enraged Zhiqings’ demeanor, said ”Director Zhao didn’t come to work today, he informed last night he’s attending a meeting in the city today.

If anyone has questions, you can first discuss them with me.”
