Chapter 977: The Incident of That Day
The money that Ms. Tang stole will be returned to the Wang Family, and then Uncle Cui’s corpse can be collected.
As for Li Xiaoshan’s corpse, Liang Wangsheng came with Ying Xi that day to look at it. After confirming his identity, they didn’t bother further with the matter. After all, Madam Liang had already divorced this live-in son-in-law, and the marriage papers were recovered, so it had nothing to do with their family anymore.
Thus, the personnel from the Office notified the Li family to come and claim him. The Li family had plenty of sons and didn’t care much about Li Xiaoshan. Moreover, being a live-in son-in-law was equivalent to having been "married off." On top of that, he had done something so disgraceful. Not only did the Li family reject him, but even the extended Li clan didn’t want him buried in the Li family tomb.
In the end, the Li family would most likely wrap his body in a straw mat and find a random place to bury him.
Jiang Kuanyu handled all these affairs, so Shu Yu didn’t worry about it.
Little Ya’er cried her heart out once, and she seemed different afterward. Although she still looked listless, she at least didn’t remain silent anymore.
Sitting in the cart, she slowly began recounting the events of that day. It turned out that when Li Xiaoshan threw her to the ground, her head hit something, and she lost consciousness immediately.
When she woke up, the first thing she saw was her grandfather lying in the courtyard, covered in blood.
Frantically, she ran outside, but her grandfather told her to stay quiet and escape quickly to find help. He pushed her along, instructing her to take good care of herself in the future, and after a few brief words, he breathed his last.
At that time, Little Ya’er thought her grandfather could still be saved. Seizing the opportunity when Li Xiaoshan and the two others were busy cleaning up the bloodstains on themselves, she planned to go find help.
However, her head throbbed with pain. Li Xiaoshan’s violent throw had been far from gentle, and halfway through crawling out of the dog hole, she fainted again.
When the two people from Ms. Tang’s side emerged and didn’t see her, they set out to search for her. Unable to find her, they guarded the area in front and behind the house, fearing she would find someone for help. This way, anyone she sought for assistance could easily be spotted and subsequently controlled.
