1970s: Transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting character in a lucky koi novel!

The suspect had been caught, and the next day, the brigade leader arranged for the villagers to go to the back mountain to dig up the graves in preparation for burying the He family.

With so many corpses lying there, the villagers were filled with fear.

Now that it's snowing, the ground outside is frozen solid. In a couple more days, it will be even more difficult to dig a hole.

Old Man He and his wife cried so hard they fainted several times, but they still insisted on tidying up the He family members.

【Huh? Why hasn't He Juan come back?】

"Yes, her parents and older brother are all dead. Why didn't she come back for the funeral?"

[She probably doesn't know yet, right?]

【How could that be? I saw He Shun go to the Zhu family last night.】

Mentioning the Zhu family, everyone fell silent. Given their situation, even in the dead of winter, the whole family had to wear a cotton-padded coat if they wanted to go out. If even one more person went out, they would be left naked.

Even if someone is extremely poor, surely they wouldn't neglect to come back for their parents' funeral?

Someone with a sharp eye glanced at the He family's old house, thinking, "Maybe the Zhu family will be back soon!"

What does that mean?

[Of the He family's first and second branches, only He Juan remains. With such a large house, there are bound to be many who covet it!]

Everyone immediately understood that the Zhu family was lazy, greedy, and unreasonable.

They'll definitely come and cause trouble then.

Logically speaking, since the eldest and second sons of the He family are gone, the house should belong to the third son's family.

But the Zhu family is no pushovers; there's bound to be trouble coming up!

Just as everyone was discussing He Juan, He Juan finally appeared at the village entrance.

As soon as she arrived, she knelt on the ground and cried uncontrollably.

Wen Li hadn't seen He Juan for so long that she almost didn't recognize her when she saw the person kneeling on the ground, reeking of stench and with disheveled hair.

He Juan is only nineteen years old this year, but she looks almost thirty.

It's clear that her life after marrying her true love wasn't easy.

In their past life, thanks to Wen Li, the He family lived a good life for several years with the money she provided!

Just as everyone was discussing it, the Zhu family arrived.

They had no cotton-padded clothes, and each of them wore several thin layers of clothing, yet they were still shivering from the cold.

Two people, still wrapped in dark blankets, appeared at the He family's house.

As soon as they arrived, they started searching through the He family's house, and then each of them found a cotton-padded coat to wear.

Wen Li had no doubt that if it weren't for so many people watching, they would have loved to strip the clothes off the dead man and put them on.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

This doesn't look like someone who's here for a funeral.

They're here to rob us, aren't they!

He Laosan was furious at the Zhu family's behavior.

In those days, people didn't care about taboos. A bolt of cloth was very expensive, let alone a cotton-padded coat.

The things left behind by the eldest and second eldest sons were his; how could he tolerate them being taken away by the Zhu family?

So before the He family was buried, He Juan's in-laws started arguing with He Laosan's family. Although the old man and woman looked weak, they were still very strong when they fought.

Before long, the two families were fighting.

Wen Li stood in the crowd watching the commotion, wishing they would fight even harder.

Old Man He and Old Woman He had also tormented the original owner in their previous lives, but not as much as others.

However, He Laosan's wife did say a few words in her defense, giving the original owner half a cornbread when she was hungry.

As for He Laosan and his children, they simply watched coldly from the sidelines.

Therefore, Wen Li never thought of taking revenge on the third branch of the He family.

But that doesn't stop her from enjoying the show!

The two families argued for quite a while before the village chief finally arrived and stopped the Zhu family.

He Juan knew that her third uncle wanted to take the family property from her, but she did not give in at all.

The village chief looked at He Juan with indifferent eyes.

"Respect for the dead is paramount; bury them first!"

Having no other choice, He Juan had to pull her in-laws back and ask them to stop making a scene for the time being.

Seeing that it was almost time, the village chief called on everyone to help.

Wen Li didn't go up the mountain, but went to the brigade leader's house instead.

Li Xiangxiang is getting married soon, and to avoid any clashes, she hasn't gone out.

She's been so bored these past two days, unable to go out.

He kept pulling Wenli aside to tell her about what was happening outside.

They were from the same village after all, and regardless of what kind of people the He family were, there was still some sadness in it.

The two roasted chestnuts by the fire in the house. When the He family members were buried, the He family started making a scene again.

Wen Li overheard that it was still about two families fighting over a house.

As for the money in the He family's house, it had already been looted by Old Man He.

According to the rules, He Juan, being a nun, was not entitled to inherit the He family's houses; those houses belonged to He Laosan.

No matter how much the Zhu family makes a fuss, it's unreasonable. Of course, the village chief and the brigade leader will side with their own people.

In the end, the matter was dropped.

However, the Zhu family still took away several cotton-padded clothes and quilts.

Old He was so angry he vomited blood, but he couldn't just give He Juan nothing, so he could only watch them leave the village.

Li Xiangxiang, cracking sunflower seeds, said confidently, "There's still more to come!"

Wen Li nodded, "Indeed, the Zhu family won't let this opportunity slip by!"

Sure enough, the next day, the Zhu family brought their relatives to visit.

Perhaps someone suggested it, because they didn't cause any trouble and only had one demand: that He Laosan hand over the money left by He Gui.

Since He Juan, a married woman, has no share in the house, shouldn't the money and belongings of He Gui's family go to her?

Old He was so angry he jumped up and down. He Gang had several dozen yuan left, but He Gui only had two yuan and thirty cents.

He gave the money to He Juan, but He Juan still wouldn't let it go, refusing to believe that her father only had so little money.

When Old Man He searched for money, only he and his wife were there; there was no one to testify.

The two families then got into a huge fight over the matter.

He Juan had several hundred kilograms of grain hidden in the cellar transported to the Zhu family's house.

He even led a group of people to cause trouble at He Laosan's house every day.

The lively atmosphere of this family made everyone forget that eight members of the He family had died.

On the third day, Officer Wang returned to the village.

"The matter has been investigated. It was Captain Zou and Zou Lao Er who did it. They have confessed and will be executed in half a month!"

"Zou Laoda and the team leader's wife, as insiders, failed to report the information and will be sent to the farm for a year of 're-education through labor'!"

Everyone gasped when they heard the result; their commune hadn't executed a prisoner for many years.

However, having caused the deaths of so many people, being executed would be considered a lenient punishment.

After explaining the investigation results, Officer Wang prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he glanced at Wen Li at the back of the crowd.

Wen Li noticed that Wang Gongan was looking at her, and a harmless smile appeared on her face.

Wang Gong'an's expression was complicated. After Zou Lao Er's confession, it was revealed that Zou Da Zhuang had done those things because someone had taught him to do them.

However, Zou Dazhuang refused to reveal who it was, only that during that period, Zou Dazhuang frequently went to see Er Laizi.

Unfortunately, all the parties involved are dead, so even with Zou Lao Er's testimony, there's nothing that can be done.

Besides, men with men... that doesn't really constitute a crime!
