Chapter 488: Chapter 0488: Fight evil with evil4_1

The news of Zhao Mingfang’s robbery in the neighbouring city quickly spread back to the city committee compound.

All her money and food supplies were stolen, her person was violated by bandits, and her legs were broken because she resisted. The story was detailed to the point of being vivid, as if told by eyewitnesses.

Feng Qingxue felt a sense of relief, an instance of the culprit suffering from his own actions.

She knew that it must have been Shen Feihong who acted. Apart from him, no one else was capable. If the Zhang family had this audacity, Zhang Yi would not be forced to run away from home, both to avoid seeing Zhou Yulan marry someone else and to steer clear of Zhao Mingfang, an irritation who stuck around like glue.

As she thought this, others began suspecting the same. Officers from the Public Security Bureau promptly started investigating Shen Feihong.

Zhao Yide reported the crime and pointed the finger at Shen Feihong.

"To the comrades from the Public Security Bureau, why are you looking for me? What does Zhao Mingfang’s incident have to do with me? Nowadays, my partner and I go to the textile factory for work together every day, stroll around after work, and then part ways to return home. All our neighbours know this. How could I possibly split myself in two and travel such a distance to deal with her?" Zheng Jinrui had arranged a job for Shen Feihong. He was now an apprentice, guarding the warehouse at the textile mill and transporting goods in, doing manual labor since, despite being literate, he lacked formal education.

The two cities were quite far, and one needed to take a train to get there. Shen Feihong could only arrive there the next day after finishing work, leaving him no time to continue his job. All the neighbours and colleagues could attest to the fact that Shen Feihong never left the city.

He used to return to his hometown, but now he has brought his grandmother to live in the city, and transferred his food supply here as well.

Without evidence, Shen Feihong couldn’t be arrested.

Even though Shen Feihong had motive, Zhao Mingfang had crossed many people. Didn’t Zhang Yi have to leave home because of her?

Yes, the Public Security Bureau also paid a visit to the Zhang family for their investigation.

At that time, Feng Qingxue was at the city committee compound. She saw several police officers going to the Zhang’s. Hong Damei yelled at them quite loudly, her voice so high that Feng Qingxue could hear her clearly, "If we were law-breakers, we would have taken action long ago - why would we wait until now, when my son had to leave home? If someone encounters trouble in another city, go investigate there! Why come here to investigate us who have no means to fly over there? Maybe it’s because she flashed too much wealth, she attracted attention even before entering their city!"

They spoke further, but Feng Qingxue didn’t pay much attention. Today was May 1st, corresponding to the 8th day of the 4th lunar month - Xibao’s first birthday. Lu’s father had specially come over, and the Cheng family had prepared many dishes.

Chen Xueniang and Shen Feihong were both present. Zhou Yulan was sitting curiously to the side, her lips pursed and watching curiously at Xibao.

The little one was wearing a red outfit with tiger-head shoes, looking even more chubby.

Zhou Yulan had handmade the clothes, with neat stitches. The shoes were Chen Xueniang’s craftsmanship, very exquisite. On the other hand, Feng Qingxue, as the mother, did not prepare anything for her son, except for a bowl of noodles in the morning.

Despite that, the little fellow still favoured his mother the most, nestled in her embrace, calling out ’mama’ continuously.

"Xibao is so adorable!" praised Chen Xueniang non-stop, taking out a small brocade pouch from her pocket and passing it to Feng Qingxue. "I saved some money earlier, and I’ve been selling off for the past few years. If you don’t find it distasteful, let Xibao play with it."

...It’s already Chapter 14, won’t you reward me with some votes for my painstaking effort of typing out this story? o(╥﹏╥)o
