1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 549: Framed (1/2)

After Zhang Meiying returned home.

Her front door was tightly closed, fearing that neighbors would gossip about her, and even more afraid of being beaten.

Her neighbors also took their children back home, and no one dared to let their children play outside.

After all, Zhang Meiying had just returned from the Fourth Hospital, and no one knew whether she had recovered from her illness. If she suddenly went crazy again, no one could afford the consequences.

Zhang Meiying had only been back for less than half a day, and there were many topics about her in the village, but most of them were not good.

What a hard life.

What a bad luck for her husband.

Some villagers began to walk around her house, and some naughty older children even shouted loudly: "Xiao Zhamou, you are back."

"Everyone should be careful."

Some people even threw stones at her house.

Chen Wenchao bought some simple things, just some melon seeds and two cans, but before leaving, he stuffed a fish knife and a hammer into his trouser pocket.

Li Duoyu said with a dark face: "We are here to visit, not to fight, let her go quickly."

Chen Wenchao laughed awkwardly: "Brother Yu, if Zhang Meiying gets crazy, she can do anything."

"If she thinks that you sent her to the Fourth Hospital, she will probably fight you to death."

Li Duoyu sighed. Zhang Meiying was indeed very extreme. She had mental problems, but she was not crazy yet.

It was not Li Duoyu who sent her to the mental hospital, but the Wang brothers. If they really wanted to seek revenge, they would find Wang Dapao and Wang Jinjun.

In fact, in the years she was in prison, Li Duoyu was the only person who visited her except her parents.

Speaking of Zhang Meiying, she was really pitiful. She married Agui, who would rather be out and about than go home.

Almost all the public grain was not handed in, so naturally she couldn't have a child. Especially after Zhou Xiaoying became pregnant, she was criticized by her in-laws.

Agui's death was just a fuse. Zhang Meiying hated Li Duoyu a long time ago.

The reason was very simple. She hated all of Agui's friends, and Agui's death dragged her into a place of no return, making her bear the stigma of a husband-killer.

But Li Duoyu was fine, and she was getting better and better. She was originally a bit extreme in character, and for a while, she couldn't change her mind at all, and stubbornly believed that Li Duoyu killed Agui.

It wasn't until this woman was locked up for a while and saw the real patient that she finally calmed down and was willing to listen to him talk properly.

To be honest.

Even now, Li Duoyu still hates this woman. She is uneducated, low-quality, arrogant and unreasonable, which made him suffer enough in his previous life.

When Li Duoyu brought things to Zhang Meiying's house to visit, all the villagers were dumbfounded, and their eyes were wide open.

After Li Duoyu came to their house, Zhang Meiying's parents saw him and couldn't react. Then they moved the chairs in the first time.

"Director Li, I'm sorry, the house is a little small, please sit down first, I'll make you some tea."

Li Duoyu gestured to Chen Wenchao, and then he handed the things in his hand to Zhang Meiying's parents.

The other party pushed it back.

"Director Li, don't be so polite, it's very good that you are willing to come to see us, why do you bring things?"

Li Duoyu said: "It's nothing, put it away quickly, or is there too little?"

"No, no, our family hasn't bought canned fruit yet."

After Zhang's father finished speaking, he shouted at a closed wooden door: "Xiaoying, come out quickly."

"Director Li is here to see you. When you were locked up, he helped our family. The money for your medical treatment was also paid by Director Li."

But after calling for a long time, there was no movement. Zhang's father said awkwardly: "Director Li, please sit down for a while, maybe she is sleeping, I'll wake her up."

While waiting, Li Duoyu looked at the room, a very low stone room, with no bricks on the floor and all dirt.

Moss grew in some places, and the whole house was very dim, just like Chen Wenchao's old home.

Speaking of which, he and Agui made a lot of money from smuggling, but most of the money was spent.

Sending flowers to dance halls.

Going in and out of high-end restaurants.

He had so much fun that every time he thought about it, he couldn't help but slap himself twice.

Zhang Meiying had been married to him for so many years, but she had to pay for the family expenses, and his father-in-law didn't get any benefits.

After a while, the door of the room that made a "creaking" sound opened, and Zhang Meiying with short hair walked out of the room.

The whole person is completely different from before. In the past, she always had a stinky face and looked like everyone owed her money.

Now she is used to lowering her head, her eyes flickering, and she always likes to look at the floor. After seeing Li Duoyu, she whispered: "Director Li, hello."

Li Duoyu frowned slightly. The environment will change a person. He didn't know what kind of discipline Zhang Meiying received when he arrived at the Fourth Hospital.

But judging from her current behavior, it is estimated that her life in there is not very easy.

After Zhang Meiying came out, Zhang's father knelt down to Li Duoyu on the spot: "Director Li, I want to say sorry to you on behalf of this child."

Zhang's father wiped his tears and said to Zhang Meiying: "You are really stubborn, apologize to Duoyu quickly. The incident with Agui back then really had nothing to do with Duoyu."

"You can find out by asking anyone. Before Duoyu broke up, he had advised Agui, but Agui didn't listen."

Zhang Meiying stood there timidly: "Director Li, I know I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again next time."

Zhang's father got angry on the spot:

"How can you talk like that? There will be no next time."

Li Duoyu frowned slightly. This was obviously not the words of a normal person, but more like the words that the Fourth Hospital asked them to say when disciplining patients.

Li Duoyu continued: "Uncle Zhang, I came here today as the village director. Your family situation is quite special, and Meiying has just come out of it, so she will definitely be affected.

If Meiying can't find a job, she can come to me directly, and I can arrange a job for her."

After hearing this, Zhang's father and mother's eyes were red instantly. After taking Zhang Meiying out, what they thought about most was what to do with this child in the future.

With the hats of "criminal" and "lunatic", the neighbors were very afraid of her, and it was very difficult for her to find a job on the island.

Her in-laws didn't want her anymore, and her reputation was not good. It was estimated that she couldn't get married again.

The two were worried about this matter. They never thought that Li Duoyu would actually let the person who had reported him and cut his kelp work next to him.

Zhang's father and mother wanted to pull Zhang Meiying to kneel on the spot. Fortunately, Li Duoyu was quick and quickly supported them.

"Really don't thank me, I just did what a village director should do. Your family should also work hard and strive to build a new house as soon as possible."

"Director Li, thank you very much. Xiaoying is not that bad. If it weren't for Wang Jinjun's instigation, she would never have cut your kelp rope."

When Li Duoyu left Zhang Meiying's house, he found that many villagers came to the door, and some even held a carrying pole.

Li Duoyu said speechlessly: "What are you doing?"

"We're afraid she'll go crazy suddenly. If that happens, we'll go in and rescue you."

Li Duoyu sighed, then said to everyone: "She's recovered from her illness, don't be so afraid of her." "Really?"

Li Duoyu frowned and said: "She's not recovered from her illness, how dare I go to her house."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that what Li Duoyu said was absolutely right. If she was really sick, Li Duoyu would not have gone to her house to deliver her.

"Disperse, everyone should be careful in the future, don't casually tell others whether they know or not, especially you kids."

After everyone dispersed, Chen Wenchao couldn't help but say: "Brother Yu, I really don't understand, she treats you so well, but why are you still so good to her and help her so much."

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment, and said with emotion: "I'm not helping her, but helping myself."

Chen Wenchao scratched his head, not understanding what Brother Yu meant by this. He was obviously helping her, how did it become helping himself?

Seeing Chen Wenchao's confused look, Li Duoyu did not tell him the details.

After all, Li Duoyu's real age added up to that of Chen Wenchao's grandfather, so his behavior is naturally different.

It's very satisfying to take revenge, but it's easy to bring trouble to yourself.

If Zhang Meiying, who came from the Fourth Hospital, continues to be excluded in the village, maybe one day she will really go crazy.

For Li Duoyu, this is not the best option. Instead of adding fuel to the fire and forcing people to death, it's better to help them in times of trouble.

In a sense, Li Duoyu is not saving her, but saving himself. He should let go of the grievances of his previous life.

Since he learned that Zhang Meiying was back.

Old Li became more nervous and uneasy, and the night patrols became more frequent.

He even planned to send someone to keep an eye on Zhang Meiying, fearing that she would do something crazy, after all, she was the one who dared to cut Li Duoyu's kelp rope.

But even so, things still happened. One night, the eel factory suddenly became agitated.

The patrol heard the sound of a stone falling into the eel pond.

Then.

All the flashlights were directed at the pond, and everyone soon found two bottles of pesticides in the pond.

Li Yaoguo and Chen Wenchao activated the emergency plan on the spot and immediately changed the water in the eel pond that was hit by the pesticide.

At the same time, more than 20 people were dispatched, all of them holding flashlights, some holding sticks, and some holding hatchets, looking for the poisoner near the eel factory.

No one in Xiasha Village slept that night, and the villagers were very angry.

Director Li had warned about this matter before, but he didn't expect it to happen, and everyone was angry.

"If you catch him, no matter who he is, just beat him to death."

Zhang Erhu also led the team to ask every household and asked if they had gone out before.

After the poisoning incident, Zhang Meiying, who had just returned to the island, immediately became the target of public criticism.

Many people thought she did it, but the bad thing was that she was not at home tonight. Now a group of people blocked her door, and all the spearheads were pointed at her.

"Where is Zhang Meiying?"

Mother Zhang said, "Xiaoying went out with her father to ask for Xiaohai, and she hasn't come back yet."

"You're kidding me, you went to ask for Xiaohai in the middle of the night. Did they lose the pesticides in Director Li's eel pond?"

"It must have been lost by her. Don't hide it anymore. Hurry up and hand over Zhang Meiying."

Mother Zhang burst into tears when she was questioned, and she collapsed on the ground. The child had just come out.

Originally, she wanted her to work in Li Duoyu's factory, but the child was stubborn and planned to ask for Xiaohai to make some money.

During the day, she didn't dare to go out. Only at night, she would go out to fish in the sea when the tide receded.

Her father was worried that she would do something bad, so he followed her. But he didn't expect that he would run into such a thing.

"I really didn't hide her. There's no one at home. Why don't you go in and find her yourself."

Several young people rushed into the house, rummaging around, and even knocked things over: "Damn, she must have hidden her somewhere else."

Zhang's mother burst into tears, angry and helpless, sitting on the ground and crying.

". When I named her, I said that it would be better to give her the name 'Ying', not the name 'Ying', which is too fierce, but she didn't listen."

"Karma debt!"

At the eel factory, Li Duoyu looked at the two pesticide bottles that were fished out, and saw the words pyrethroid on them, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

It was indeed this thing. The pesticide bottle was opened. Because it was fished out in time, at least half of the white liquid inside did not leak out.

Li Duoyu felt that, except for Chen Dongqing, no one on Dandan Island knew that pyrethroids were the most effective.

This was obviously instructed by professionals. The other party was planning to kill all the eels in his pond with drugs.

Fortunately, Li Duoyu had a plan in advance. Before the pesticides were completely dissolved in the pond water, Li Duoyu immediately changed the water and transferred the eels in this pond to a new pond.

Li Duoyu said to Chen Wenchao: "Xiaochao, thank you for your trouble. Please ask Director Li."

Seeing that someone really put pesticides, Chen Wenchao was inexplicably nervous. His intuition told him that the person who poisoned might be related to him.

Because he recently discovered that one of his brothers-in-law had inexplicably extra money recently.

Xiaolan also asked him where the money came from, but he refused to tell her at all.

"Okay, I'll go and call him right away."

Not long after.

The angry villagers went directly to the place where Xiaohai was being chased, found Zhang Meiying, and started to curse: "Did you poison him?"

Zhang Meiying was stunned, and his father tried to explain: "We have been fishing here since the tide receded."

After that, he showed everyone the clams, blue crabs, and various sea fish he caught.

But everyone still didn't believe it, and what made Zhang Meiying most uncomfortable was that he knew the leader.

He also followed Agui in the past, and used to call him Sister Ying. Speaking of it, when he reported Li Duoyu, it was really instigated by this person.

"Lin Baojun, what evidence do you have?"

The leader said: "Everyone knows the grudge between you and Director Li, what evidence do you need? It's 100% you did it."

Just at this time, a villager shouted: "The police station has arrived."

After hearing this, Zhang's father softened all over, and tears could not help but flow down. This life has just begun to have hope.

"What a sin."

When the police arrived, the two leaders stepped forward and said attentively: "Zhang Meiying is over there."

But what everyone didn't expect was that Director Li asked: "Are you two Lin Baojun and Xie Kaishun?" (End of this chapter)
