The clan leader, Li Zheng, took Ye Yuran to see Mrs. Mei's body.

Because of the rain last night, Mrs. Mei was completely soaked and looked a little scary.

But it can be vaguely seen that Mrs. Mei's original condition may not be very good, such as her skinny body, fingers like old tree branches, uncoiled hair, and the particularly scary hole on the top of her head...

…

Ye Yuran only glanced at it and felt that she might have a "nightmare" at night, but she endured this fear and forced herself to read Mrs. Mei from beginning to end.

"Did you see anything?" Li Zheng stood nearby and asked with concern.

Ye Yuran held a small stick in his hand, pointed at certain places and said: "The injury on this head should be a fatal injury. It rained yesterday. Maybe he died on the spot, or he died of excessive bleeding...

…But since the wound was washed so clean, the time of death should be around the time of the heavy rain, so it won’t be too far off.”

Li Zheng, the clan leader nodded.

"I've never seen Mrs. Mei before. I don't know if she was this thin before, but her condition doesn't look very good. She looks like she's hungry." Ye Yuran paused and said.

, "But if I remember correctly, Mrs. Mei even gave birth to a pig in order to pawn off the belly of my third daughter-in-law."

Seeing that there was no embarrassment on Ye Yuran's face and that he looked businesslike, the clan leader followed suit and said, "I asked about that pig. Mrs. Mei should have given it to her. The Zhang girl ran away."

Afterwards, the Mei family asked for it, but the Zhang family refused to return it, unless the Zhang family girl was handed over by them personally, and the money and goods were fully paid, so it has nothing to do with them."

"Well, I've heard this kind of thing before. But it's also possible that the conditions in Mrs. Mei's family were not very good to begin with. In addition, her son died at that time and she didn't eat or drink, so she became so thin after the autumn harvest.

Extremely powerful..."

Before Ye Yuran finished speaking, the clan leader shook his head: "It's not just that, Mrs. Mei was imprisoned by the Mei family after her son died."

"Locked up?" Ye Yuran opened up some places for them to see, "No wonder there are some strange bruises here. I thought she made them herself. Look at her ankles and wrists.

The marks of being tied up...these are scratches. Although they have been soaked in water, they still look very clear. These should be the marks left when she struggled with someone yesterday."

Just as he was talking, Ye Yuran saw a series of familiar bracelets under Mrs. Mei's body.

She was shocked, and quickly changed the topic, stepping on them while they were not paying attention - because she remembered that Zhang Yan had asked Zhu Bamei for it.

Thinking of Zhang Yan who had not returned home last night, she seemed to have an answer deep in her heart.

However, she couldn't let this bracelet appear next to Mrs. Mei, otherwise she wouldn't be able to explain to everyone why Zhang Yan, who was abandoned by the Zhu family, owned Zhu Bamei's bracelet?

In this way, people will definitely think of where Zhang Yan lived during the time she disappeared.

If she lives in the Zhu family, then the child in her belly...

This time is enough for Zhang Yan to give birth to her child in the Zhu family.

Ye Yuran couldn't let people associate this matter with the Three Treasures or the Four Treasures. It would be too scary for children.

"Then I have a question. Since Mrs. Mei has been imprisoned by the Mei family, why did she appear in Zhujia Village?" Ye Yuran asked, "Did she escape or be released? Everyone knows

The Zhang family girl was divorced by our Zhu family, but she still appears in Zhujia Village... This has to make me wonder, did someone tell her that the Zhang family girl is here?"

In order not to expose herself, Ye Yuran also took the initiative to mention "Zhang Yan" and emphasized once again that Zhang Yan was not in Zhujiacun.

Li Zheng, the clan leader naturally had some associations.

At that time, the Zhang girl was lost from Mrs. Mei's house, and after Mrs. Mei's son died, the Mei clan chiefs and the Zhang clan chiefs didn't come looking for them, but they just sent them away.

They felt that neither the Mei family nor the Zhang family themselves had the guts to trouble the old godly woman, so why did they have the nerve to let their Li Zheng and clan leader take action?

Even if the old Qianpo did something wrong, don't forget that they "owed" the Zhu family a daughter-in-law, not the Zhu family "owed" them.

Li Zheng, no matter how much the patriarch dislikes Lao Qianpo, she is also from Zhujia Village, and when it is time to "protect", she still has to be protected.

"Have you ever thought about why they locked up Mrs. Mei?" Ye Yuran further guided, "What did Mrs. Mei do to make them so intolerant of Mrs. Mei?"

"I heard that she seems to be crazy." After some hesitation, Li Zheng told the rumors he heard from his old wife, "The people who often yell in the yard and scold the Mei family are not human beings, and they are harming people."

He killed her man, harmed her son, and harmed her all her life. Now she doesn’t even want to give her her grandson. She just wants her two acres of land and her family’s house..."

The patriarch was silent for a moment and said: "The Mei family's behavior has always been bad, and their patriarch can't control it. It's not like the atmosphere has been bad for a year or two."

"Will the Mei family come to cause trouble?" Ye Yuran asked.

"They will definitely come," the clan leader sighed and said, "Their family can even arrange wives and borrow seeds, so what else can't they do? Otherwise, do you think everyone is so poor, why can't they?

Are you willing to marry your daughter into their family? It’s not because their family does things too much and is so embarrassing. There are also very few people who don’t know the truth or are forced to have no choice but to marry the Mei family.

Get married."

If the Mei family is said to be poor, there must be people even poorer than the Mei family in the villages and towns ten miles below Taidang Mountain.

It's just that the Mei family has the worst reputation, which leads to the fact that the men in their family are very old and have been unable to get a wife, so they have to "pawn wives" and "pawn their bellies".

Ye Yuran frowned, as if he didn't want to be upright and the clan leader was too embarrassed, and said: "If you think it's too much trouble, blame it on me. I won't believe it. With my reputation as an old godly wife,

, they dare to make trouble for the Zhu family. What people are doing, God is watching, either my Zhu family did it or it was not my Zhu family. Is it possible that they still want to press my Zhu family’s head and make our Zhu family admit it?

Was it our Zhu family who took advantage of Mrs. Xiamei?"

"It's really not your family's fault?" Li Zheng had not forgotten that he and the patriarch had doubted the old Qianpo's affairs before.

"Why did you kill the old Qian woman for nothing?" Ye Yuran said doubtfully, "You don't really doubt it, do you? It's impossible. Yesterday, my sons went up the mountain and they were all wet when they came home.

; Dabao, Erbao, and Lao Qi were playing outside, and a bunch of children were there. Just ask them and you would know; while I and several daughters-in-law stayed at home, and from time to time someone would come to buy something. I would not stop until it rained.

Even without going out, I can find someone to testify for me... Oh, by the way, there is also my old man. He is staying in the vegetable field. My vegetable field is next to that person's house. You can go to his house and ask if there is anything.

Even if you don’t look at my old man, he can still be considered a witness.”

After counting around, it turned out that everyone in their family had "witnesses" and the alibi was sufficient.
