Chapter 365: 365 things
Zheng Lanying is completely lost right now, she can't even remember what she said.
She's extremely angry inside, why are they dwelling on this matter?
But she really doesn't dare to ask that question directly.
The interrogation that followed was even more straightforward. Zheng Lanying couldn't hold on, because she was scared. So she became a bit incoherent.
The clerk recorded everything very quickly,
In the end, whatever they asked, Zheng Lanying just answered.
She doesn't even know what she's doing now, what she's saying, anyway, she doesn't even have the chance to regret.
The interrogation of Zheng Lanying took almost two hours. It wasn't until then that the interrogation ended, and she pressed her fingerprint.
Now she's still lost, trying hard to recall what she said, but she just can't remember.
When they asked her to press her fingerprint, she didn't have the courage to look.
Anyway, she just firmly believed in her heart that she didn't kill anyone, what else could it be?
But this girl apparently forgot, sometimes it's not about the severity of legal punishment, but whether you have the courage to live among people.
With the interrogation of Zheng Lanying completed, Ma Dongmei was brought in once again. The originally delirious Ma Dongmei, upon seeing Zheng Lanying, suddenly broke free from the people around her and directly clutched Zheng Lanying's neck with both hands.
While shouting and cursing incessantly, "You bitch. Alright, it's all your fault, isn't it? You fucking didn't fancy Xiang Zhiqiang, but you still wanted to tie him down to work for you. And now see, you got what you wanted. He didn't even care about his own family for your sake.
Bitch, why don't you just die? What face do you have to live? You're so young and yet so vicious."
Ma Dongmei really used all her strength. She spoke heavily and quickly.
By the time others reacted and pulled her away, Zheng Lanying was gasping for breath, standing beside the sound of Ma Dongmei's wild laughter.
Now Zheng Lanying was terrified to the extreme, how did what she did come to Ma Dongmei's knowledge?
She didn't know, her behavior had already let everyone know that what Ma Dongmei said was true.
This left an even worse impression of her. Everyone felt disgusted with Zheng Lanying.
Zhao Yanli was listening outside, utterly dumbfounded. What was going on here? It was unbelievable.
Are people really like this? I don't even know what to say.
When Ma Dongmei was interrogated again, she calmed down. She told everything she knew and guessed, making people believe with a mix of truths and half-truths.
Moreover, she simply wouldn't admit that it was she who took off Xiang Zhiqiang's clothes.
This made the relationship between Zheng Lanying and Xiang Zhiqiang even more convincing.
It wasn't until five in the afternoon that the interrogation was clear. Xiang Zhiqiang was supposed to be buried by the Xiang Family, but the Xiang Family was unwilling.
How could their own son just die like that and be buried?
But no matter how they protested, no one paid them any attention.
Ma Changshun just stood on the side watching, watching as the young woman was brought to the donkey cart, and he and his wife rushed over.
"What am I supposed to do, you wretched girl?" Ma Changshun's wife cried as she held Ma Dongmei.
Ma Dongmei was now just wooden, letting her mother hold her.
Actually, they had been fighting constantly these last few days. Ma Dongmei was gluttonous and lazy, and the family's money was always used up by her to trade for food, which Xiang Zhiqiang obviously didn't like, so the two of them clashed.
However, Xiang Zhiqiang didn't dare hit her, but then Zheng Lanying came over crying that she really couldn't handle it anymore.
Xiang Zhiqiang wasn't very capable, but he had a heart for pitying beautiful women, especially when Zheng Lanying cried with such heartache.
So when Ma Dongmei went out to buy eggs, he followed Zheng Lanying away.
Ma Dongmei bought the eggs, fried them at home and ate them, but when her conscience struck and she went to the field, Xiang Zhiqiang was nowhere to be found.
She immediately understood, so she went to Zheng Lanying's field to look, and actually found them. She was furious, even though she didn't think highly of Xiang Zhiqiang, but the fact that he dared to contact another woman behind her back, ignoring her warnings, was unacceptable.
So she wasn't having it, but Ma Dongmei knew she wasn't able to beat Zheng Lanying, so she focused on Xiang Zhiqiang.
Unexpectedly, he fought back, and right in front of Zheng Lanying.
So she didn't say anything, just left and went home.
Even though Xiang Zhiqiang was afraid of Ma Dongmei making a scene, he didn't want to lose face in front of Zheng Lanying either. So he insisted on working for Zheng Lanying.
By nightfall, he didn't want to go home so early.
Zheng Lanying also noticed Xiang Zhiqiang's cowardice, so she pretended to ask him to stay for dinner.
Xiang Zhiqiang really didn't leave and even said many ambiguous things. Zheng Lanying knew this was Xiang Zhiqiang remembering their time together.
She didn't respond to anything, just lowered her head to eat, thinking that this way, he would continue to work for her in the future, right?
The two finished eating, and Xiang Zhiqiang still didn't want to go, wanting to take advantage.
Of course, Zheng Lanying wouldn't agree, so she struggled, just as Ma Dongmei, who had barged in, saw.
This really infuriated Ma Dongmei, who wasted no words, grabbed the scissors on the kang and stabbed towards Xiang Zhiqiang's back.
Sometimes things just happen so coincidentally.
Later, Ma Dongmei went crazy, and Zheng Lanying kept screaming from the side, only then did Ma Dongmei come to her senses, but the fear inside her was dispelled by Zheng Lanying's look as if she was a monster. So that's how she ended up injuring Zheng Lanying.
Zheng Lanying ran away; she then cut off Xiang Zhiqiang's clothes and threw them directly into the stove.
Ma Dongmei, wooden and dazed, recalled the whole incident.
Ma Changshun felt particularly pained standing by the side. In fact, he hoped his daughter was crazy; that way, maybe she wouldn't have to die, but she actually regained her sanity at the end.
Meanwhile, Feng Baoshan sent two people with the carriage to take them away.
Zhao Yanli shook her head at the sight of the two women on the two carts. Marriage really isn't worth it, good grief, even someone like Xiang Zhiqiang can get involved in something like this.
"It's all that Zheng Lanying, truly no good. If she hadn't seduced that Xiang family boy, I wouldn't have ended up like this."
Zhao Yanli also thought it made a lot of sense, yeah, without a woman egging him on, Xiang Zhiqiang wouldn't have dared.
But if he didn't have such thoughts in the first place, even with a woman egging him on, nothing would've happened, right?
Thus, Zhao Yanli ran further and further down the road of not getting married.
She hurried home; there was still a lot of work to be done there. The chickens, ducks, and geese hadn't been fed yet. Thinking about it, it really wasn't worth it.
This matter dragged on for a month and still wasn't resolved.
Everyone was too exhausted from daily life to care about it anymore.
However, Tan Shaoting was tasked with interrogating Zheng Lanying when he returned home.
"Leader, I'm really not good at this."
"There are still several others, but somehow we need to know the result here."
