The fragrance of medicine fills the countryside in 1990

Chapter 8: The Su family didn't lose anything, Tianyi cried
Zhang Linyuan always felt that something was going to happen in the neighboring village.

There was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.

He could always smell something unusual from those subtle changes, like a bird of prey hunting in the fields, his sharp eyes ready to capture any movement.

When he received Xiao Cui's call, his brows frowned slightly.

Xiao Cui's words were filled with endless pain and helplessness; her heart was already overwhelmed by exhaustion and stress.

"Lin Yuan," she spoke again, her voice trembling, "I'm really tired and not feeling well. I have to take care of the child every day, and I can't stand it any longer." Her eyes began to turn red, tears welling up in her eyes. "Can you find me a nanny to take care of the child? I really don't want to take care of it anymore."

Zhang Linyuan's brows were furrowed, as if shrouded in a layer of haze.

Their marriage was controversial from the beginning because in Sujiazhuang in the 1990s, the practice of getting on the bus first and buying the ticket later was unprecedented.

Three months after the marriage, Zhang Linyuan found that Xiao Cui's behavior was becoming more and more abnormal, and he began to regret his choice.

He often went out to purchase agricultural products in an attempt to escape the conflicts at home, but every time he returned home he would find Xiao Cui having intimate contact with different men.

His grandfather reminded him many times to pay attention to Xiao Cui's character, but Zhang Linyuan always chose to believe her.

Until one day, he saw Xiao Cui flirting with Wang Tiegen from the east end of the village, and his patience finally reached its limit.

He was furious and decided to divorce Xiao Cui, thinking that this would end this unhappy marriage. However, every time Xiao Cui used the child as an excuse to stay, making it impossible for him to completely get rid of her.

Now, Xiao Cui suddenly changed her attitude and no longer asked to take care of the child, which surprised Zhang Linyuan. He felt mixed emotions.

Zhang Linyuan's chest felt heavy, as if a stone was pressing on it.

There was a hint of melancholy in his eyes and his brows were furrowed, as if he was hiding many unknown secrets.

He hung up the phone, sighed deeply, then took care of things in the neighboring village and quickly set out on his way home.

The moment he walked into Sujiazhuang, a familiar and friendly atmosphere hit him in the face.

He saw the old locust tree at the entrance of the village. Its leaves were swaying gently in the breeze, as if waving to him.

He felt a little more relaxed.

Soon after entering the village, the village chief Wang Fugui stopped him.

Wang Fugui is a burly middle-aged man with a serious expression on his face.

He looked at Zhang Linyuan and said sternly, "Zhang Linyuan, don't run away all the time and ignore the affairs of Sujiazhuang. You should run the rural credit cooperative well and contribute to the development of the village."

Zhang Linyuan lowered his head and said nothing. He knew that the village chief was telling the truth.

Seeing that the other party had listened, the village chief Wang Fugui added, "Don't forget that you are married and should treat your wife and children well. Don't let them suffer any grievances."

Time quickly came to evening, and in the soft afterglow of the sunset, Zhang Linyuan stepped into the house.

Although the communication with the village chief did not completely solve the problem, it at least made him feel a little calmer. However, when he opened the door, the scene in front of him instantly made him feel confused.

The originally clean and bright front hall was now in a mess.

The glass on the windows was all smashed into pieces and scattered on the ground, reflecting the dazzling light.

The furniture in the room was also tilted, obviously having been vandalized.

What was particularly shocking was that he and Xiao Cui's son were sitting in the middle of the room, tears streaming down their faces, crying helplessly.

Zhang Linyuan's heart was hit as if by a heavy hammer. He hurriedly picked up the child and comforted him.

At this moment, the mobile phone suddenly rang. It was Su Li calling.

Zhang Linyuan picked up the phone, and Su Li's voice was anxious and concerned: "How are you? I heard that Xiao Cui smashed the house. Is the child okay?"

Zhang Linyuan held the phone tightly, trying to calm himself down: "The child is fine, I'll bring him over later."

Su Li heard the trembling in his voice and said firmly: "Okay, I'll wait for you." After hanging up the phone, Zhang Linyuan took a deep breath and felt dizzy.

When we arrived at the Su family, the Su family had already prepared warm beds and food.

Seeing Zhang Linyuan coming in with the child, they didn't ask any questions. They just took the child silently and started feeding him, hoping that he would calm down as soon as possible.

Zhang Linyuan smoked his cigarette silently and couldn't eat a single bite of rice.

Su Li looked at Zhang Linyuan with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said, "Our family has had a relationship with your grandfather for decades. Now that your family is in trouble, we will take you in for a few days. If it doesn't delay anything, you can leave the child in our Su family."

His voice was trembling, as if he was trying hard to control his emotions.

Su Li paused for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and continued, "I know you are an ambitious person, and your career will not be constrained by your family. However, family is the foundation of a person, so please take more care of your family. After all, it is related to your future and your old age companion."

Su Li finished what he wanted to say, his eyes full of worry.

He hoped that Zhang Linyuan could understand her painstaking efforts and also hoped that he could cherish the warmth of his family.

Zhang Linyuan was silent for a moment and said nothing.

That night, Zhang Linyuan still lived in his old hut.

Before he fell out with the Su family, this was where he lived. But now, everything has become a thing of the past.

In comparison, Su Chenjin's sleeping posture was very peaceful.

There was a hint of childishness on her face, as if all the troubles had nothing to do with her.

Early the next morning, she waited until Zhang Linyuan left and began a careful investigation.

She checked every corner and every item in the house one by one, not missing any clues.

Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, examining everything carefully.

After a closer inspection, she noticed something strange.

Although the house was filled with all kinds of rare antiques and calligraphy and paintings, not a single thing was stolen.

This discovery made her fall into deep thought, and she began to think about the real purpose behind this prank.

She began to think back to everything that had happened in the past few days, trying to find any possible clues.

Scenes flashed quickly through her mind, as if she was looking for some inspiration.

Finally she figured out the man's general intention.

Using the bellyband to attract the attention of the Su family, and then taking the opportunity to take away the Su family's more precious things. This prank was sinister and obviously carefully planned.

Her eyes became determined, and she knew that she was about to face a cunning and cruel enemy.

But she also understood that only by uncovering the truth of this prank could the Su family's safety be protected.

Su Chenjin gently stroked Xiao Tianyi's cheek, trying to calm the child down. However, Xiao Tianyi suddenly burst into tears, his voice loud and sharp, like a young bird that was stung.

Su Chenjin's heart couldn't help but tighten. She carefully examined Xiao Tianyi's body and found no obvious wounds or bruises, but the sudden crying made her unable to let go.

At this time, Zhang Linyuan's son Zhang Ruyi, who was sleeping nearby, was awakened.

With a trace of fear in his eyes, he quickly reached out his hand, grabbed a white silk scarf tucked into the corner of the bed, and suddenly covered Xiao Tianyi's face with it. Su Chenjin was surprised to see that the silk scarf was stained with bright red blood.

This discovery caused huge waves in Su Chenjin's heart.

Her detective gene awakened again, like a vigilant cheetah, always ready to capture any suspicious scent.
