Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

You'd better listen carefully, and tell your eldest and second sisters-in-law when you go back.

Just listen on the side. Oh boy, these women are now saying they went to catch Ma Dongmei and the two people in the act. That's why they took action.

Zhao Yanli thought about it. Yuanyuan had said before that when dealing with enemies, violence isn't the only solution.

Now, in her heart, she hoped Ma Dongmei would bite the bullet and catch the two people in a compromising position. This way, she might not have to pay with her life, right?

Actually, that's exactly what Zhao Yanli hoped for in her heart. She felt it wasn't worth it for Ma Dongmei to pay with her life.

Suddenly, she heard an exaggerated wailing, and she knew right away it was Xiang Zhiqiang's mother.

There were too many people, so it was impossible to see what was happening inside. Zhao Yanping felt a bit anxious. Come on, just say something, don't just cry. It's really frustrating.

She got really anxious in the end. Zhao Yanli finally squeezed her way inside. She saw all the farm leaders were present, which made sense since this was a big deal.

She looked around but didn't find Zheng Lanying or Ma Dongmei.

Xu Hongbing saw his little sister-in-law coming over and felt helpless. This girl just doesn't seem to have a care in the world. Such a grown woman, yet she doesn't even have a partner, and she really doesn't care.

"Xiao Li, you should go home. I'll tell you when I get back."

"No worries, Brother-in-law, I'll just watch from the side," she chuckled. How could this be something she'd miss? What's more, she understood her brother-in-law's concern, but it was really unnecessary. She truly hadn't considered settling down here. Although she didn't have a target yet, she definitely wouldn't just settle.

Xu Hongbing had no choice but to stand beside his little sister-in-law.

"Xiang Zhiqiang is really dead, and they couldn't even find his clothes.

Director Feng and the others just asked, and Zheng Lanying doesn't admit to anything with Xiang Zhiqiang. But the person was lying naked on her kang, which makes it impossible to deny."

"Where's Ma Dongmei?"

"She's been locked up. But she's gone crazy now."

"How do you know?" She's gone mad just like that?

"She looks manic, either crying or laughing hysterically. It's terrifying to watch."

"So whatever Zheng Lanying says goes?"

"Probably not, but how does she explain Xiang Zhiqiang lying naked on her kang?"

Zhao Yanli nodded. Right, it was her house, after all. Regardless of what happened, people would inevitably say there was something going on.

All the matters were being settled in this room. Zhao Yanli suddenly wondered, "Won't the police station come over?"

"They'll definitely come, but being so far away, it'll take some time."

Having roughly understood the situation, Zhao Yanli lost the patience to wait.

"Brother-in-law, I'm going back."

Xu Hongbing was more than eager for his little sister-in-law to leave quickly.

"Go on, I'll tell you when I get back."

Inside, Feng Baoshan looked at Xiang Zhiqiang on the kang, covered with a burlap bag, and felt a toothache.

Zhang Haisheng felt uncomfortable. He always found his cousin's family unsightly, but still, they were family. Seeing his nephew dead on the kang, and in such a manner, was really distressing.

Ma Changshun just sat on the side, internally sneering.

Serves them right. They reaped what they sowed without me having to do anything.

It's as if God is watching. He truly despised Xiang Zhiqiang. Ever since the young woman left with him, he'd lie on the kang at night and regret it. If only he hadn't always hit her, maybe things wouldn't have turned out this way, right?

Now, the young woman is like this, and her life is ruined. Even if things get sorted, she's gone crazy.

But Zheng Lanying got off too easily; it was all because of this woman.

"Director Feng, actually, Dongmei ended up with Xiang Zhiqiang because Zheng Lanying set it up.

Last winter, after I hit Dongmei a few times, she ran over to Zheng Lanying's house. I thought, well, it's just two girls, so letting her stay for a few days shouldn't be a problem.

But the next day, this Zheng Lanying suddenly brought over a big bowl of rabbit stew with potatoes to our house and refused to leave.

I asked her, and it turned out the three of them had been drinking.

I was worried something bad might happen. So I ran over, and at that time, that beast Xiang Zhiqiang had already slept with Dongmei.

I gave him a beating. He promised me he'd treat Dongmei well.

I thought, well, they were already together. There was no point in saying anything anymore.

After I got home, I saw Zheng Lanying looking expectantly at me. When I looked at her, her eyes were evasive.

I later asked Dongmei about it, and she said Xiang Zhiqiang had brought over two rabbits, and Zheng Lanying said she wanted to drink.

So that's how the three ended up like that. Our Dongmei might not be very diligent, but at least she doesn't have bad intentions.

This was all because of Zheng Lanying. Honestly, I have zero respect for Xiang Zhiqiang.

Think about it; it's the busy farming season, and he's not working on his own family's stuff, yet he comes over to work for Zheng Lanying.

Last year, more than half of Zheng Lanying's tasks were done by Xiang Zhiqiang.

Even though Xiang Zhiqiang has separated from the family, he doesn't help his parents or work for his own family but does Zheng Lanying's work. Who'd believe there's nothing going on between them?

We're all men here. Do you all think that's possible?

This incident further proves my point. Yesterday, Dongmei asked Xiang Zhiqiang to go back and work, but not only did he not work, when Dongmei hit him a few times, he even hit back.

I think it must've been because Xiang Zhiqiang didn't go back, and at night, Dongmei came to find him, catching Xiang Zhiqiang and Zheng Lanying doing something improper, which is why she lost it."

Ma Changshun talked for quite a while, and six or seven people in the room listened. They felt Ma Changshun was quite right.

Otherwise, there'd be no way to explain it. Even Zheng Lanying got hurt, although just on her arm. But her acting like she's on her deathbed is really off-putting.

Ask her anything, and she won't answer; she just sobs.

Ma Dongmei is also in a manic state now, wailing one moment, laughing hysterically the next. It's terrifying to watch.

Feng Baoshan felt quite helpless too. This wasn't something he could resolve. After all, there's been a death, and if it were anything else, the farm management could handle it. But clearly, this was beyond their authority.

They had to patiently wait for the police to come. Then he'd be relieved. It was the spring planting season, and who had the time to deal with this?

So he patted Ma Changshun on the shoulder, acknowledging that what's done is done, and there was no point in pondering over it.

Feng Baoshan left two people there and then went back to work; there were still so many tasks to handle.

"Everyone, go back to your own work. Moreover, a strong young man has died, so it's definitely a fierce situation. Just go back, and when the police arrive, we'll know what happened."

Only then did people start to leave. The Xiang family members all left too.

Feng Baoshan shook his head helplessly. The Xiang family really was something else, wasn't it?
