Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me-Chapter 826 - 671: Love Is Crossing Thousands of Mountains and Rivers, Love Is a Lifetime’s Obsession [18]
The wife of Uncle Mai, who is Mai Manxiang’s aunt, has already fainted at this moment.
The wife of Uncle Mai, at the moment, is stammering incoherently, "Blood, blood, it’s flowing like this! Oh, can the village still survive?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Auntie Mai is completely horrified, her voice unconsciously rising in pitch.
As the village head and ranking second in the Mai Family, Mai Shilong shouted fiercely, "What are you shouting for! Do you want the whole village to know that it was that person from the village who tied up Feng Chengyue?"
Perhaps his voice was too authoritative, and instantly, everyone’s face turned pale.
Thinking about the situation in the deep night, coupled with the unexpected rain, upon learning it was the person from the village who tied Feng Chengyue, they hurriedly rushed up the mountain in the chaos.
With this search, they found Mai Mentun critically injured.
At the same time, confusion and unease grew quietly from the depths of their hearts.
Why would someone randomly tie up Feng Chengyue? If you’re going to tie her up, then do it; if you really fancy the girl, hurry and take advantage while she’s unconscious—sleep with her. Why wait until she’s awake? Moreover, even if she did wake up, with such strong stamina from the village, how could he be beaten and have his head smashed by a girl, and even let her escape?
Along the way, they carried the person from the village, watching helplessly as blood trickled all the way down.
It was late at night, and the rain was heavy, diluting the bloody smell in quick bursts, preventing discovery. But what about tomorrow morning? Looking at those faint bloodstains, anyone would be able to trace them back to the Mai Family.
In an instant, all the Mai Family members were panic-stricken, partly due to Mai Mentun’s severe injuries, and partly because this incident had alarmed the entire village!
Yang Hua, Uncle Mai’s wife, woke up, and seeing Mai Manxiang, as if knowing something had happened, angrily reached out and rushed towards Mai Manxiang, "It’s all because of you! Because you kept saying that woman from the big city was seducing your Brother Mingyan, you might not be able to marry him, which made your brother from the village stick up for you! Otherwise, why would your brother have gotten into trouble? Why would he!"
Yang Hua’s hand was furious, nearly clawing at Mai Manxiang’s face.
Mai Manxiang stepped back, "Auntie, it’s not my fault. I didn’t expect my brother from the village to have thoughts about that woman, I just said to keep some distance, I didn’t know he would do something like this!"
"You didn’t know, didn’t know! Now can your brother go plead with your Brother Mingyan to save his life, do you know!"
Yang Hua was even more indignant.
Mai Manxiang was frightened by the blood-soaked village brother and was at a loss for words.
The scene of chaos came to a halt once again with a shout from Mai Shilong.
"Enough! What good is saying this now! Who can save the village brother’s life?"
At this moment, Mai Mentun seemed to be awakened by the noise, coughing painfully, and amidst the increasing dizziness from the headache, weakly called out, "Mother..."
Yang Hua’s eyes dampened, she quickly stepped forward, "I’m here."
After a moment of contemplation, Mai Shilong took a drag from his tobacco pipe, saying, "This girl is Mingyan’s colleague. No matter what, Mingyan has been earning and supporting our village for over ten years. This incident certainly faults the village brother and Ah Xiang, but to spread the matter to Qiu Mingyan, it is no good. We should take the village brother to the county for treatment overnight. He just returned from work a few days ago, so only a few in the village might recognize him. If anyone asks, just say he only came back to get some things and then went out to work again, just by chance that he’s not around these days..."
Upon hearing Mai Shilong say this, it instantly felt as if he injected a powerful dose into the chaotic hearts of the Mai Family.
Uncle Mai, already sixty years old this year, nodded upon hearing it, hoisted his son, with a tightly-wrapped head but already soaked through, onto his shoulder, and called for help from the third uncle, braving the rain and rushing out.
In the dead of night, without a motorcycle or tricycle, fearing to alarm the Qiu Family, they could only rely on two legs to carry their son to the county town.
The women left behind took basins, brooms, quickly starting to clean the blood in the yard and other places.
The mother of the person from the village, wiping her tears, packed up and carrying money and food, quickly followed the others out of the mountains, hoping to catch up with Uncle Mai and save her son.
Luckily, the rain was heavy that night, and fortunately, the Qiu Family didn’t immediately suspect and search their house, everything could still be handled.
In the village... there are all sorts of trivial matters; today a widow from this house sleeps with another’s, tomorrow a wife can’t bear her husband being away long for work, inviting another man to her room, all are common occurrences.
Actually, these things are considered minor to them, solve and coordinate, and it’s over.
When people were poor, how did a family marry a wife and get by? Now whenever the days are good, how come they can’t get by?
But... those are their thoughts, who made Qiu Mingyan now the wealthiest, the one who supports the village?
Qiu Mingyan returned from the big city, who knows the person he’s madly searching for, maybe they shouldn’t touch?
The Mai Family pondered these issues based on their limited knowledge and measures of courtesy.
But they didn’t see the most socially-versed among them, Mai Shilong, looking at the blood inside the house, pondering the origins of the incident, glancing at his daughter’s uncomfortable state, drawing a drag from his tobacco pipe and flicking the ashes.
Eyes deep and dim...
...
The Qiu Family.
That night, after being lost and found again, the two lay in the same bed, then...
