Chapter 12

Xiao Hongling never expected that Song Li and Zhao Fengzhu would plot against her. Now that there was evidence, even if she hadn’t had the chance to do anything, the charge of attempted murder would be enough to put her in prison for several years.

When the police car drove out of Daxingtun, everyone in the village was shocked.

The educated youth pointed out a murderer, and it was Xiao Zhiqing whom they saw every day. The families with children all broke out in cold sweats.

I used to think that Xiao Zhiqing was a good person who would give candies to children when he saw them. Now I think maybe he just looked at which child he was more likely to target.

For a time, the people of Daxingtun were in panic, and there were fewer children playing outside.

At the Zhao family’s dinner table, Aunt Zhang cursed, “No one from the city is good. Last time Xiao Hongling said that Sun Zhiyuan sent you something, I actually believed it. This bastard must be up to no good!”

“Zhu Zi, take out that bag of candy later. We don’t want to touch anything unlucky!”

“What are you throwing away? You have a lot of money at home. Candy is unlucky. I think your daughter is the unlucky one!”

Uncle Zhao slammed his chopsticks on the table, his face long, “Don’t act crazy and stupid in front of me all day long, get married after the New Year, I won’t support you forever!”

Aunt Zhang was unwilling to do so. “Zhu Zi hasn’t recovered yet, how can she get married? Besides, who can she marry in her current condition?”

“Who can she marry? There are so many bachelors out there, who can’t she marry? She still thinks she is a virgin, it’s good enough that there is a man willing to marry her. Yang Laoliu from Hongqi Commune is willing to pay a hundred yuan as a gift to marry her. I have already agreed, and I will let him take her away in the spring.”

“Her father, are you crazy? Yang Laoliu is already fifty years old. He can be Zhuzi’s father, but why would she marry him?”

“Okay, if she doesn’t want to marry, both of you will get out of my Zhao family’s house!”

The two quarreled fiercely. Zhao Fengzhu lowered her head and clenched her chopsticks. A sad smile appeared on her lips. If she was really a lunatic, perhaps she wouldn’t have to suffer so much.

……

He Linyuan went to the county town with Liu Gongan. Song Li’s words reminded him that it might be He Cheng who was giving Xiao Hongling the advice behind the scenes.

The Xiao family and the He family belong to the same compound. Although Xiao Hongling is confused, Xiao’s father is a shrewd man. He will not give up until Xiao Mingwei knows that it was He Cheng who killed his daughter.

He Cheng didn’t know that his plan was exposed. He had a way to make Xiao Hongling shut up, but he didn’t calculate the bug of Song Li’s book-traveling ability, so he felt confused when Xiao Mingwei retaliated against him crazily.

But these have nothing to do with Song Li. He Linyuan’s home visit leave is over and he will return to the army tomorrow.

She finally took out the sweaters and trousers she had prepared. The place where He Linyuan served in the army was close to the border, which was even colder than Heilongjiang Province, so he had to bring some warm clothes.

In addition to sweaters and trousers, Song Li also made four jars of chili sauce, all of which were produced from spiritual plants in the space.

He Linyuan can eat spicy food, so four cans of chili sauce are enough for him to eat until the New Year.

As for the fact that they are going to get divorced after the new year, she is just trying to gain a last wave of favor.

This is to avoid He Linyuan not letting her see the child after the divorce.

Before returning home, He Linyuan made up his mind to divorce, but his mindset changed when he was leaving.

The handbag contained sweaters and trousers prepared by Song Li, as well as the chili sauce she made herself. The two children snuggled up to their mother, saying goodbye to him with a smile. It was just like the home in his dreams.

He Linyuan clenched the bag in his hand and looked at Song Li with warmth in his eyes. “My mission this time is closed, and I can’t contact my family. If you have anything to do, go to the county town to find Public Security Liu. I have already greeted him.”

“Okay.” Song Li did not refuse. Relationships are important in any era. You don’t worry about not using them, you just worry about not having them.

He Linyuan gave a few more instructions before leaving. For the first time, he felt reluctant to leave.

After everyone left, Song Li started to get busy.

The jujube tree in the space has produced dates, which are crispy and sweet. Without He Linyuan, she also took out the oven in the space.

The baked date cake is soft and sweet, a hundred times more delicious than steamed cake.

This time, Song Li did not restrain the two children. Ordinary date cakes are difficult to digest, but the ones made with spiritual plants do not have this problem.

She has been taking good care of the two children with spiritual plants these days, and their complexions have obviously improved a lot, and their faces have gained some flesh.

The twins, a boy and a girl, were already delicate and adorable, and now they are even more beautiful.

Song Li baked two plates of date cakes and sent the two children to Old Song’s house early the next morning.

Although Xiao Hongling had been arrested, Song Li no longer dared to leave her child alone at home.

Looking at the date cake sent by Song Li, Zhang Xiu felt that his daughter was becoming more and more polite. Wasn’t it her duty to take care of her eldest nephew?

But this date cake is so delicious. Zhang Xiu swallowed his saliva and thought of the sauerkraut pork ribs and sweet potato meatballs made by his daughter. Zhang Xiu felt that this date cake would not be bad either.

The other people in the Song family had the same idea as Zhang Xiu. As long as it was made by Song Li, it would taste good.

I originally thought that my wife/mother could have a share, but Zhang Xiu simply locked it in the cupboard and said, “We can eat together after Chengye comes back after the New Year.”

“It’s still two or three months before the New Year, so you don’t have to worry about it going bad. Besides, my brother and his wife are in the city, and they have eaten all kinds of delicious food.”

Song Chenglin complained that he was still waiting to taste his little sister’s cooking.

But no one could resist his mother’s decision, and they could only watch Zaogao being locked up.

Song Li took the remaining date cakes to the county town, but Xiang Qian’s smile this time seemed forced.

“Sister, this is five dollars for the date cakes. Count it.”

Last time Song Li brought five kilograms of pork, and she priced it at one yuan per kilogram. This price was comparable to pork, so naturally few people bought it.

Xiang Qian took great pains to sell only two kilograms, and he ate the remaining three kilograms.

He had previously assured Song Li that it would definitely be sold, but now he felt slapped in the face.

“How much did you post?”

Xiang Qian did not hide it and made a three with his fingers.

Song Li had anticipated this result. Her steamed cake was simple to make and priced high, so the chances of it selling well were slim. However, Xiang Qian was able to sell two kilograms, which impressed her.

Song Li counted out three dollars and returned them to him, but Xiang Qian didn’t want them.

“Here, we have to keep doing the date cake business. Do you have to pay for it every time?”

“Ah, sister, we still have to continue selling the date cakes.”

Xiang Qian was a little confused about Song Li. Their soaps and lipsticks were selling so well, so why did they have to sell date cakes that were more expensive than meat?

Song Li opened the backpack and handed him a piece of date cake, “Try it first.”

The baked date cake is softer than the steamed one, and the Ling dates are sweeter than ordinary dates. After eating it, you will feel an indescribable comfort and just want to keep eating.

Xiang Qian originally thought that Song Li would continue to sell date cakes until he hit the wall, but after eating a piece of date cake, he was so shocked that he was speechless.

“Sister Li, this date cake can be sold!”
