Madam Liu’s eyes narrowed. She immediately understood what Ye Muyu meant. “You’re saying that something will happen to the Tang couple. Or, they’ve already met with Landlord Wang. We don’t know what they’re planning.”
“Yes, that’s what I mean.” Ye Muyu nodded. “But I’m not sure, so I want to test it.”
“If we can seize this opportunity to catch evidence of Landlord Wang hiring a killer, it will be beneficial to us.” Ye Muyu naturally knew that the landlord was a powerful person.
For example, this time, even if the person who killed Tang Bao was related to Landlord Wang’s family, it could not directly prove that he was instructed by Landlord Wang.
Because of this, she could only use public opinion to make the people feel that Landlord Wang was a ruthless person, just that one could bring him down.
Once there was evidence to prove that Landlord Wang had committed the crime, it would be much easier under the pressure of public opinion. This was also the only benefit that they could get from Tang Bao’s case.
“Let’s go. I’ll call your fifth aunt and the village chief’s wife. It’s not appropriate for us to go alone.” Since Madam Liu had made up her mind, she was even more thoughtful.
Ye Muyu had wanted to mention this as well, but she nodded in agreement. The three of them went to Madam Qian first and explained their purpose for coming. Then, they went to the village chief’s house.
The village chief’s house was not far from the Tang family.
Village Chief Li Youde had originally wanted to visit the Tang family, but his wife said that it was inauspicious. Just as he was trying to persuade her, he saw Chu Liushi, Madam Qian, and the others arrive.
“Village Chief, we want to visit the Mrs. Tang.” Chu Liushi explained her intentions.
The village chief saw the egg basket in her hand and knew what it meant.
“Village Chief, do you want to come with us?”
Since Chu Liushi had already asked this question, Li Youde naturally felt embarrassed to say that he did not want to go. “Yes, I was planning to go as well.”
When the village chief’s wife, Madam Zhou, heard him say this, she wanted to stop him, but she was too embarrassed to say anything. She could only ask her daughter-in-law to pack some fresh dates and give them to Li Youde. She could only watch helplessly as he left with Madam Liu and the others to the Tang family.
The entrance of the Tang family’s house was crowded. Some neighbors looked inside curiously.
Seeing that the village chief had come, they were a little embarrassed.
“Village Chief, what are you doing?” Someone asked.
Seeing the baskets in their hands, the villagers were a little surprised. Were they also here to give gifts to the Tang family?
“Brother Tang must be very sad that something happened to Tang Bao. I came over to talk to him.”
As Li Youde spoke, he did not delay and quickly knocked on the door.
Someone came over to Madam Liu and asked, “Madam Liu, why are you here? Are these eggs for the Tang family?”
When the villagers heard this, they were a little surprised. “Didn’t the Tang family’s Tang Bao push Chu Jin into the water? Why aren’t you angry?”
“He’s already gone. Why are you still talking about the past? That grudge is nothing compared to human lives.”
“I saw that everyone had come to visit. We’re all from the same village.
Everyone is sad that something happened.” The reason why Madam Liu brought gifts before she came was because the other villagers had already come and given them gifts.
It would be strange if she did not visit.
Even the neighbors who were not as close to the Tang family had sent them a gift, even though it was not much.
She only picked ten eggs, which was not eye-catching.
The neighbor who asked the question also laughed awkvvardly, but it was not good to refute. After all, what Madam Liu said was right.
Soon, Tang Xueren came to open the door with a dejected look on his face. When he saw the village chief, his emotions did not change at all. However, when he saw Chu Liushi and Ye Muyu behind him, there was a hint of something different in his eyes..
