Chapter 1048: Chapter 1049: Village Orphan 93

Liu Gang heard Li Cui’s shouting in the room, realizing that she must have found out.

What to do? Liu Gang was unsure and not brave enough to go out, worried there’d be trouble if he did.

“Liu Gang, come out. Do you think hiding inside means you’re free from it?”

Li Cui was forcefully trying to break down the door, wanting to open it.

Li Cui’s actions astonished quite a few people; they couldn’t understand why she was behaving this way out of nowhere.

“What did Liu Gang do?” Everyone was puzzled.

If Feng Lan were here, they might comprehend, as that person was always scheming against Zhang Yu; Li Cui being angry would make sense.

But Feng Lan had already divorced Liu Gang, and they had no contact anymore.

Zhang Yu rushed over to hold Li Cui tightly, “Grandma, Grandma.”

Liu Gang thought for a long time before opening the door, “Aunt Li, I really don’t know about this, I really don’t.”

“Although my brother and I don’t get along well, I never thought about harming him.”

“I… I truly don’t know.” Liu Gang was on the verge of tears.

Love his brother? Everyone looked at Li Cui knowing they must be talking about Liu Hong.

Everyone was astonished, “What’s Liu Hong got to do with this? Wasn’t he harmed by thugs?”

Everyone knew what happened; after all, Liu Hong received posthumous honors. Now hearing their words, there seemed to be hidden truths about Liu Hong’s death.

The most shocking thing was that Liu Gang was somehow involved too, leaving everyone confused.

Liu Dashan and Wang Pandi heard Li Cui banging on Liu Gang’s family door and dared not come out, afraid of provoking trouble.

Unexpectedly, they heard Liu Gang saying something like this. The couple looked at each other in the house, unsure of the situation.

Liu Dashan hesitated, “Is Xiao Hong’s matter related to our third child?”

Wang Pandi hesitated too, “There shouldn’t be.”

“If there was a connection, wouldn’t they have arrested the third child long ago?”

“You know his courage. He’s likely to grab some leftover food from the canteen, no doubt.”

“But taking things from the warehouse…” Wang Pandi genuinely didn’t think Liu Gang had the guts.

Thinking it over, Liu Dashan agreed; their youngest had no courage, “That’s a relief. But that brat, why?”

Wang Pandi, equally puzzled, “I don’t know either.”

But she quickly realized, “If he truly had a problem, why would he still be at home?”

“Shouldn’t he have been taken away long ago?”

“Since Zhang Yu works at the police station, her heart is tough. If she knows of her dad’s death being related, would she let the third child go?”

Liu Dashan agreed, relieved, “Glad it’s not him; otherwise… sigh.”

The old man sighed softly, “Our family really can’t withstand these troubles.”

The youngest son divorced, Liu Ke and the others became intellectual youth, Liu Qiang’s wife and eldest son went in, Liu Jianshe and Liu Li became intellectual youth too.

If the third child gets taken in, it’d be a laughingstock for those around.

“You really don’t know?” Li Cui stared at Liu Gang, “Feng Hao can’t have kept it entirely secret.”

Feng Hao’s young, never having done such a thing before. Attempting this for the first time, he couldn’t have left no clues.

Liu Gang shook his head, “I definitely don’t know.”

“Though Feng Hao is Feng Lan’s nephew, my dealings with Feng’s house are truly minimal.”

“They really are too greedy.”

“As for Feng Lan, I suspect she doesn’t know either.”

“When my brother died, we were all at work, didn’t go back to Feng’s house.” Liu Gang felt Feng Lan likely didn’t know either.

Upon hearing this, everyone took a sharp breath; they couldn’t believe, “Liu Hong’s death was related to Feng Hao?”

Wang Pandi heard this inside the house, then dashed out, “Third child, you’re saying your second brother’s death is related to Feng Hao?”

Liu Gang was startled as Wang Pandi stormed out with such fierce questioning.

Nodding, “Yes, I just found out.”

“I really just found out, I truly didn’t expect, at my brother’s accident site, it wasn’t just him and the killer, but also Feng Hao.”

“He took advantage of my brother being unguarded, knocked him down; otherwise, my brother wouldn’t have met trouble.”

Liu Gang briefly explained the situation; hearing it, Wang Pandi sat heavily on the ground, “My son, my son.”

Zhang Yu watched Wang Pandi sitting on the ground, hitting her thighs incessantly, “Why are you wailing now?”

“When my dad passed away, you didn’t cry.”

“Why cry now?” Zhang Yu remarked coolly, “Isn’t this fake enough?”

“What, thinking Feng Hao killed my dad, you can go ask Feng’s house for money?” Zhang Yu speculated this might be why Wang Pandi was crying so profusely.

Originally, Wang Pandi hadn’t planned on crying, but recalling her difficult life since Liu Hong passed, she wondered if they had neglected his aftercare.

As for Zhang Yu’s remark about seeking compensation from Feng’s house, Wang Pandi hadn’t considered it just yet.

Hearing Zhang Yu say this, Wang Pandi’s eyes suddenly sparked, realizing she hadn’t thought of it.

Seeing her eyes light up, Zhang Yu knew she was tempted. Unfortunately, “Shame, asking Feng’s house for compensation, the money would go to me.”

“Everyone knows you and my dad are estranged; I’m his sole heir.”

“If you can get compensation from Feng’s house, that’s good.”

“No one dislikes having more money.” If Wang Pandi could get money from Feng’s house, Zhang Yu felt it wasn’t wrong to keep it.

Receiving the compensation, then Zhang Yu got the money? Wang Pandi’s expression turned sour, “Forget it, I think I’ll pass.”

“You know Feng’s house’s conditions, as poor as can be, no profit to gain.”

“Forget it, forget it.” Extorting money from Feng’s house would cost time and energy.

If money could be gotten, a little effort’s worth it; but exhausting oneself only for Zhang Yu to get the money is not worth it.

Wang Pandi felt this girl Zhang Yu was truly too despicable. Sadly, if Liu Hong were still alive, she wouldn’t dare cause a stir.

Too bad she didn’t realize back then; thinking Zhang Yu was a little girl, easy to control.

Everyone watched Wang Pandi being casually handled by Zhang Yu and couldn’t help but laugh.

They truly sympathize with Wang Pandi, knowing Zhang Yu isn’t easily taken advantage of, yet she keeps trying.

Indeed, sympathy for Wang Pandi, life continues, but she never ceases fighting.
