<h4>Chapter 1269: Chapter 1269</h4>


    "Have you heard? Lin Yifan killed Li Hao and is now locked up at the police station."


    "What a femme fatale! Just got a little fame and now she’s in trouble, well, she’s done for now."


    "She would have been better off staying clueless. Now she’s going to prison, and Xiao Cui will just marry someone else."


    "Acting like a thug in college got him into trouble, now he’s in jail again over some rivalry, this guy’s clearly got character issues!"


    "Serves him right for unting his fancy car all the time."


    "I told you he’s no good, it’s finally proven! Heaven has eyes!"


    The news of Lin Yifan’s imprisonment had already spread across the entire Taoyuan Vige via WeChat.


    The women gathered together also shared their opinions.


    "You people, have you no conscience at all? Yesterday you were lining up to ask for his help, and now you’re cursing him behind his back? Aren’t you afraid of getting struck by lightning?"


    Suddenly, Xu Fengxian burst out, hands on her hips, angrily shouting.


    This yell immediately silenced many.


    However, some couldn’t stand it and stood up to argue with her.


    "Xu Fengxian, why are you yelling? It’s only right to pay for murder with one’s life and debts with money. Am I wrong? People like him end up in jail sooner orter, and as for you, a widow sleeping around, how do you even show your face?"


    "Sun Gun, I’ve never cheated on my husband, don’t think we don’t know about you and Gou Sheng’s dad sneaking into the cornfields, you shameless thing, and you have the nerve to talk about me."


    Xu Fengxian, hands on her hips, said, making the other turn pale.


    "Widow Liu, you’re talking nonsense, watch me not beat you to death!"


    Gou Sheng’s father, unable to hold back, picked up a club and made to start a fight.


    But just then, Xizhu came over with a hoe, bringing a few coworkers from the construction site with him.


    "Who dares to nder my brother behind his back, I’ll bury him alive today!"


    Xizhu, burly and fierce, red with rage.


    Frightened, those few immediately got up and ran towards their homes, and the others dared not speak further.


    After themotion, Xu Fengxian was pulled back to his house by Xizhu.


    "Sis, what should we do? Yifan was fine at noon, how did he be a murderer?"


    At that moment, Jiufeng was sitting in the yard, her eyes vacant.


    Seeing Xu Fengxian, she immediately clung to her arm in tears.


    "It’s too soon to say anything since it’s not settled yet. Let’s go to the police station tomorrow in daylight. I’ll even sell the family silver to hire the bestwyer for him."


    Xu Fengxian sat on the stool, her face filled with sorrow.


    Faced with such a situation, she had no idea what to do.


    "Even with the bestwyer, it’ll be a big case, Yifan is a good person, how can he suffer this?"


    Jiufeng wiped her tears, sobbing continuously.


    Xizhu sat beside her, angrily throwing his cigarette butt to the ground.


    "Stop crying. First thing in the morning, I’ll go to the police station and confess to exchange for his release."


    "Xizhu, don’t make things worse, it’s not that simple."


    Xu Fengxian quickly persuaded.


    "What’s the trouble? It’s just killing someone; I’ll insist it was me, a life for a life. Anyway, for someone like me, it’s the same everywhere. But if I do get executed, Jiufeng, you must take care of my parents."


    Xizhu said heroically, looking at Jiufeng.


    "Stop saying foolish things. You’re at the construction site all day where everyone can see; how could you have killed anyone?"


    Jiufeng sighed, knowing this wasn’t something that could be traded for life.


    "Then... what do we do?"


    Xizhu pounded his fist into the ground.


    This heavy charge of murder was a disaster, and even though he wanted to die for Lin Yifan, he couldn’t do it.


    "Luckily, mom remainsatose, otherwise, if she knew about this, who knows what would’ve happened. Anyway, I’ve decided, if Yifan goes to prison, I’ll marry him and take care of his mother."


    Xu Fengxian pursed her lips.


    This might be the first time she resolved to remarry.


    At this moment, Liu Laoda’s house was also in chaos.


    "Tomorrow, send Xiao Cui back to school. We’ll rent a ce in the Provincial City for her, and you can stay with her. Don’te back."


    Boss Liu said, smoking from the sofa.


    "Will Xiao Cui agree?"


    Li Guixiang looked anxiously towards the inner room.


    Since returning, Xiao Cui had been lying in bed crying.


    "She doesn’t have a choice. Even if I have to drag her away, I will. You know how the vigers talk, it will just get worse. Let’s first leave the vige, and once I handle things here, I’ll find a job in the Provincial City; we won’te back."


    Boss Liu lit another cigarette, taking a deep inhale.


    "I won’t go. I’m waiting for Yifan toe back!"


    Xiao Cui suddenly opened the door, walking out with tears on her face.


    "You have to listen to me. Tell me truthfully, did you... were you... vited?"


    Strangely gone for seven or eight hours.


    Not just gossip, even Boss Liu had doubts.


    After all, how could a man and a woman out alone for so long not be...?


    "How many times do I have to say it for you to believe... fine, I was vited, are you satisfied? I’m telling you, I’m an adult now... I make my own decisions. If Yifan doesn’te back for a day, I’ll wait a day, if he doesn’t return in a year, I’ll wait a year, if never, then I’ll wait a lifetime, even if I die, I’m not leaving Taoyuan Vige!"


    Xiao Cui shouted.


    "Xiao Cui, he’s a murderer now, we should lie low for a while!"


    Li Gun hurried to Xiao Cui’s side, holding her arm.


    "Mom, you once said that finding a good man is most important in a woman’s life, and Yifan was worth a lifetime of trust. You told me to seize the opportunity, but now you want me to hide? Even if he is a murderer, he killed for my sake, and if I leave, what does that make me?"


    Xiao Cui looked tearfully at Li Gun.


    She couldn’t believe they would choose to leave in Lin Yifan’s perilous times.


    "We’re doing this for your own good; he may have been great before, but that was then. You’re still young and have a long life ahead, you can’t ruin it over him!"


    Boss Liu angrily stamped his cigarette into the ground.


    "I don’t care, if it’s not Yifan, I won’t marry anyone this life!"


    After saying that, Xiao Cui turned and entered her room, closing the door tightly.


    Seeing their daughter like this, Liu Laoda and his wife could only sigh heavily.


    This small Taoyuan Vige was destined not to have a peaceful night.


    Unbeknownst to them, beyond their knowledge, a group secretly entered this quiet mountain vige.


    With their arrival, shadows hidden all around swiftly headed toward ck Bear Valley.
