Chapter 117: What Secret Does Li Nannan’s Biological Mother Have?

The Li family wasn’t a close-knit one. Li Dabao dropped out of school after junior high and went out to work early, earning money. This led to trouble, and he’s now in jail.

Li Erbao loves to steal things and is always out of the house. Who knows, one day he might be beaten to death on the street.

Miss Li went to work in the south, focusing only on money, not people.

Mrs. Li said that having money means having people, but the third girl was too busy to come back.

When Zhong Ling got pregnant, Mrs. Li was so happy, looking forward to a grandson. However, Zhong Ling had an abortion without any warning.

Mrs. Li was furious.

Zhong Ling was easily coaxed into submission with a few words, and the neighbors also said it was right for her not to have a child.

Nowadays, they advocate eugenics and good parenting. If she had a child, she would lose her job. This job was so good, giving it up for a child wasn’t worth it.

Mrs. Li was still unhappy and scolded her son every day, hoping he would cheer up and wake up.

As a result, Boss Li remained a pile of mud, unable to be helped.

Hearing this, Xu Weilan suddenly remembered her grandmother mentioning the Li family in her previous life.

She recalled the ending: the whole family was wiped out.

Xu Weilan’s heart skipped a beat.

People say it’s hard to be a stepmother.

But children who are still young and haven’t yet formed their own personalities are most likely to be led astray.

Why did she feel that the current state of the Li family’s grandchildren was closely related to Zhong Ling?

Praise to death.

At that moment, she thought of this word.

Just as Xu Weilan thought of this, the alley suddenly became lively, “Something happened! Hurry! Boss Li jumped off the building! Hurry!”

“Call the police!”

“Something big happened to the Li family!”

Hearing this, Old Mrs. Xu suddenly stood up and looked in the direction of the Li family.

Xu Qian was also full of surprise, “Uncle Li jumped off the building?”

Xu Nian didn’t find it strange, “He gets drunk every day, so it’s not strange that he accidentally fell down the building, right?”

Xu Weilan looked in the direction of Li’s house thoughtfully, “Grandma, you stay at home, we’ll go and take a look.”

Xu Nian ran in front.

Xu Qian grabbed her, “Sister, aren’t you afraid?”

“I’m a soldier! What should I be afraid of? Let’s go and see what’s going on.”

Xu Qian pulled Xu Nian and ran quickly towards the crowd.

Xu Weilan and Qin Yan followed together.

Yi Ci followed behind Xu Nian and Xu Qian. If he really jumped off the building, the scene would be terrifying.

Xu Weilan was thinking about the key points of these things all the way. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that this matter was related to Zhong Ling.

She even had a bold guess.

Zhong Ling is taking revenge on the Li family!

A revenge that lasted for more than ten years, a revenge in which she took part herself!

Maybe the accident with Boss Li’s hand wasn’t a surprise.

Li Dabao, Li Erbao, and Li Sanya, all of them were raised astray by her!

Xu Weilan had met the elder sister Zhong Ling several times.

She was only about 33 years old this year. She looked young, beautiful, and capable. It was obvious that she didn’t come from an ordinary family.

Such an outstanding person like Zhong Ling would never choose Boss Li even if she was homeless.

Or maybe it was because Boss Li saved her back then, used some disgusting means to take her body and forcefully marry her, so she felt hatred towards him?

Xu Weilan had a lot of thoughts in her mind.

Qin Yan tapped her brow lightly, “What are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed in it?”

Xu Weilan looked at the surging crowd over there, and she told him her guess.

Qin Yan whispered, “It is very likely as you guessed.”

Xu Weilan blinked, “Don’t you think all this is just my blind guess?”

Qin Yan talked about a newspaper he had read before. The story in that newspaper was similar to Zhong Ling’s story.

The story happened in 1970. A family of seven met with accidents one after another, but the hostess was the only one who was fine, so the police suspected her.

Now that her great revenge had been achieved, she no longer concealed the truth and admitted that all seven members of her family had died at her hands.

The reason she wanted to kill them was that they had teamed up to rob her house and set fire to more than a dozen members of her family. She was the only one who went out and escaped the disaster.

Xu Weilan looked at Qin Yan in shock, “Do you think it’s possible that she has read this story, and then… made a more comprehensive plan based on this story to take revenge?”

Qin Yan looked at the crowd, “Very likely.”

Xu Weilan couldn’t help but wonder what kind of unscrupulous things the Li family had done to make Zhong Ling sacrifice her entire life for revenge.

It must be a heinous and unforgivable thing, otherwise who would give up being a good person and become a demon!

There were too many people.

Unable to squeeze in, Xu Weilan and Qin Yan didn’t go, and stayed outside to listen to the gossip of the aunts and uncles.

“Oh, did you see it? I died so miserably, and there was a lot of blood under my body.”

“It’s great to die. I’m drunk every day, and I’ll beg for craziness at home after drinking. In the middle of the night, I always hear Zhong Ling’s crying and begging for mercy.”

“Oh, a pretty person, why did he suddenly become like this? If his hands are ruined, he’ll be ruined. Why bother yourself like this?”

“Some people can’t understand this in their entire lives.”

“Some people like to be stubborn. Once they get in, they can’t even pull back ten cows.”

“The poor thing is Li’s wife. She is a widow at a young age. I don’t know if the stepson is reliable. She is so angry that she is squatting in the bureau. The second child is not at home.

The third girl only sees money in the south, but no one. Alas… The Feng Shui of the Li family is really bad.”

“It must be Old Man Li stole too many corpses before, and this was retribution! “

“What corpses are stolen? Why didn’t I hear that?”

“Hey, you don’t know. The Li family used to be from the rural areas of Hezhou Province. They bought a job and a house twenty years ago and settled in our alley.

I heard people gossiping that Old Man Li had so much money, and they earned it from stealing the girl’s body and selling it to the ghost marriage. It’s so profitable!”

“Oh, you’re a sin. It’s really a retribution, a retribution!”

Xu Weilan couldn’t help but sigh after hearing this.

The police arrived soon.

The forensic doctor first examined Boss Li’s body and finally confirmed that he had accidentally fallen from a building and died. He then collected the body, dispersed the crowd, and comforted the deceased’s family.

The news about the eldest son of the Li family soon spread throughout the compound.

Old Mrs. Xu sighed several times in the room.

When people get older, they think more.

In the afternoon, Xu Weilan and Qin Yan went to the Public Security Bureau.

Li Nannan’s case has been closed and the verdict has been handed down.

Although Li Nannan kept making excuses, the Public Security Bureau still found evidence to prove that Li Nannan hired someone to kidnap someone.

Because she was only seventeen years old and a minor, she was taken to a juvenile detention center for education.

All other persons involved in the case were sentenced. Yi Rong was also sentenced to three years. Xu Weilan thought Yi Ci was busy enough and his stepmother might make a big fuss.

In the Public Security Bureau, Zheng Hui cried heartbreakingly.

When Xu Weilan appeared, Zheng Hui immediately stepped forward, “Xu Weilan, nothing happened to you, can’t you let Nannan go?

She is only seventeen years old. Hurry, go and withdraw the case! If you don’t pursue it, they can’t take Nannan to the juvenile detention center!”

Qin Yan stood in front of Xu Weilan coldly, “Aunt Zheng, what are you thinking? She did something wrong, she should be responsible and punished!”

Zheng Hui looked at Qin Yan and gritted her teeth, “Qin Yan, how can you be so cruel! You grew up together since childhood. Don’t you know what she feels for you?

You can refuse to accept it, you can ignore it, but you can’t add insult to injury! Qin Yan! All this is caused by you!

If you had explained it clearly to her and stopped her from thinking about it early, how could she make one mistake after another and end up like today!”

Qin Yan snorted, “You blame me?”

“Isn’t it? It’s all your fault! It’s all your fault! Qin Yan, give me back my daughter! Qin Yan, you bastard!” Zheng Hui was really devastated.

Qin Yan didn’t even let her touch the corner of his clothes. He moved away coldly, turned around, took Xu Weilan’s hand and walked out the door.

Xu Weilan looked at Zheng Hui coldly, “With such an indulgent mother, it’s not surprising that Li Nannan would become like this.”

Qin Yan took her hand and got into the car, “Don’t bother with this shrew.”

Xu Weilan nodded and went upstairs.

Xu Weilan was quite satisfied with this result.

Li Nannan really should go to a juvenile detention center and receive a proper education. He is so cruel and can do anything. It’s really disgusting.

Qin Yan drove towards the government compound.

A car drove in front of their car and squeezed past them on purpose, almost hitting them.

Qin Yan wanted to chase after him angrily.

Xu Weilan pulled at the corner of his clothes, “Don’t be like this.”

Qin Yan snorted, “How disrespectful to the elderly! I don’t know if Uncle Li is crazy or has a trap to marry such a woman!

Many uncles and aunts said that they were not suitable, but Uncle Li married this woman. I don’t know what kind of magic potion this woman has fed Uncle Li.”

Xu Weilan was a little surprised, “Is this Li Nannan’s biological mother’s car?”

Qin Yan then told her about Zheng Hui’s family. Zheng Hui’s family was a red capitalist. They supported the revolution before, and after the reform and opening up, they returned from Hong Kong to develop the inland.

Xu Weilan wondered, “She has such good conditions, why did she marry Uncle Li, who is already old?”

“20 years ago, when the great movement had just begun, the Zheng family sensed that something was wrong and took the lead in moving the whole family to Hong Kong.

Zheng Hui was in the army at that time and was on a mission outside, so the Zheng family gave up on her and left her alone inland. She happened to meet Uncle Li again and chose to marry him.”

Xu Weilan felt a little strange, “Why did she, a rich girl, go to the army to suffer?”

Qin Yan only heard that Zheng Hui used some tricks to win Uncle Li’s heart that day, and did not hear anything else. Xu Weilan’s words reminded him.

Indeed.

Why would girls from rich families go to the army to suffer? At that time, they were all children from poor families, or they were the children of military families. The former is to get ahead, and the latter is for the family to train the children.

Then why is she like this?

Seeing that Qin Yan was also confused, Xu Weilan said, “Now that the Zheng family is back, maybe we can find out something about what happened back then. I always feel something is wrong.”

In her previous life, Xu Weilan lived in the south, but she had heard a thing or two about the affairs of these big neighbors in Beijing.

Now I see Zheng Hui herself.

Some dusty memories came to mind.

Later, Commander Li and Zheng Hui divorced, and their dispute was so intense that they could not stop until one side was dead.

Later, Zheng Hui seemed to die inexplicably.

Li Nannan was also sent abroad.

Did Zheng Hui hide some secret from Commander Li, and did it touch Commander Li’s sore spot?
