People born in the 80s became relocated households

Chapter 116 Gossip

Xixia Village

Ever since the incident of human traffickers hiding in Xixia Village, Huang Tao has become a household name in Xixia Village. For a while, a flyer for the arrest of the fugitive Huang Tao was posted at the entrance of the Tan family grocery store near the bridge. Huang Tao's photo was prominently displayed on the flyer. There was also a whistleblower who provided real clues. The Ministry of Public Security offered a reward of 30,000 yuan. Many villagers gathered at the entrance of the grocery store all day long. When they saw the reward, they were all amazed and whispered in groups. Some said that Huang Tao was extremely daring, some said that he was unscrupulous, and some said that Huang Tao was really smart to be able to escape in the situation surrounded by water. He was worthy of being a Jiangdao boy who grew up in the river and was a good swimmer. How could he be the same as those landlubbers who were caught? Some said that the police might have deliberately let the water flow, wasting time and leaving a gap, which gave him the opportunity to take advantage of.

When Jiang Shuya passed by the small shop at the bridge head, she overheard a few words. Those people were probably familiar with Huang Tao. Now they knew that Huang Tao had become a fugitive of child trafficking, but they were not surprised at all. The shop owner Wu Lan sneered, cracked melon seeds, and cursed angrily: "Huang Tao still owes my shop 500 yuan? Last time he took a pack of cigarettes from here and didn't pay for it. He lied to me and said that he would return the principal and interest to me after this deal was done. He swore that he would give me the money in just one day. Who would have thought that he would do such a business? He has done something that is against the will of heaven. Even God will not let him go."

Inside the store, Wu Lan was sitting next to a fat woman at the counter. She was Cao Fang, a close cousin of the Cao family from Qiaotou. She whispered in the proprietress' ear, "I heard that Huang Tao was reported by someone, and that person was from our Xixia Village."

"Ah! Who is it? How do you know?" The proprietress looked surprised.

Cao Fang gave a wicked laugh and refused to speak. Wu Lan shook her arm anxiously and stared at her, saying, "Hurry up, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me who it is."

Cao Fang leaned over and whispered in Zhou Lan's ear, but no one outside heard it and they were still whispering and talking.

Wu Lan was shocked when she heard this, then her eyes were full of confusion, and she whispered, "How do you know it was her? Where did you know it from?"

Cao Fang raised his chin with contempt in his eyes: "Don't forget, in Xixia Village, my uncle is the captain of the police station. All the cases he has handled are recorded on it, and the informants are naturally listed on it. It's just that the case was sent to my uncle the day before yesterday. When he saw Huang Tao from Xixia Village, he asked more questions. I happened to go to my uncle's house to find my aunt, and I heard a voice outside his bedroom."

Wu Lan was still confused and even more puzzled: "Then why do you think she wanted to report Huang Tao? Aren't they all relatives?"

Cao Fang curled her lips, with a look of sarcasm on her face: "Who knows? It's possible that Huang Tao has done something else that is against the will of heaven and earth, and was discovered by that beauty. Now, the Huang family will become even more famous, and a big celebrity will be born."

Wu Lan gave Cao Fang a wicked look, smiled, looked her over and asked, "Sister Cao, you are 27 this year, right? Why don't you want to find a partner?"

Cao Fang pursed her lips, her face showing more annoyance, and then she became arrogant: "It's not that I don't want to find someone, it's just that I don't like any of the ones they introduced to me. None of them suits my taste."

Wu Landu was worried for her, so she lowered her voice and urged, "It's said outside that our place will be demolished within a year at most, you better hurry up! Don't be too picky, as long as they treat you well, are responsible, and take care of the family, that's enough. You know that one more household registration means a large amount of compensation and a house."

Cao Fang sighed lightly, looking embarrassed and stubborn. She shook her head and said, "I don't want to give in like that. It would be too meaningless to live with someone I don't like in this life."

Wu Lan looked disdainful and directly exposed her: "Are you comparing those people's looks with Huang Minghao? I'm not saying anything bad about you, but that family is too outrageous. There are two elders who are out of tune. If you were with him at that time, I would think you had a problem with your brain. My eyes are burning."

Cao Fang was so ashamed and angry when she heard this: "Those are his parents, not him. I just think he is the best-looking man I have ever seen. It's a pity that my parents don't agree. Otherwise, I would have a child by now, and there would be no place for Jiang Shuya. Besides, I am the only daughter of my parents, and their property will be mine in the future. Even if he and I never work for the rest of our lives, it will be enough for us to spend."

Wu Lan raised her eyebrows and snorted, "Yes, he didn't choose you, the eldest lady, but the beautiful woman now. It shows that Huang Minghao is superficial and only cares about her looks. So what now? The couple lives separately. I heard from my wife before that Huang Minghao once drank with him and confessed his feelings, saying that he regretted marrying Jiang Shuya. He beat his chest and said that he was useless and sorry for that so-and-so. Oh! The so-and-so he mentioned at the end, but we don't know who it is, and he didn't say the name."

Cao Fang's eyes lit up when she heard this. Her long-lasting heart revived. She grabbed Wu Lan's hand and asked anxiously, "Really? Huang Minghao said he regretted marrying Jiang. Do you think the person he was sorry for is me? Is that right?"

Wu Lan was incoherent after being asked this question. She didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she said vaguely: "Maybe! I haven't heard of anyone before Jiang Shuya!"

After knowing the answer she wanted to know most, Cao Fang's round face became even fuller, and her pair of small eyes suddenly smiled so hard that only her teeth could be seen. She waved her hand and pointed to the end of the shelf: "I want all of these. I want to have a good meal. Sister Wu, you know, when I am happy, I feel especially good and want to eat. Pack these up for me and I will eat them slowly when I get home."

At this time, squatting at the shelf at the other end, the store owner, Mr. Tan, glanced at Cao Fang and shook his head. The sound of their conversation just now entered his ears. Wu Lan obviously did not notice that her husband was sorting the shelves at another place. She happily filled a large plastic bag with snacks for Cao Fang. After she paid the bill, he smiled and sent her out. When she turned around, she found her husband standing behind her. Zhou Lan pushed him and got angry: "You want to scare me to death? Standing behind me without saying a word."

Mr. Tan snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "I've seen narcissistic people, but I've never seen such an arrogant fool. Huang Minghao can like her, my God... Haha, I find it funny to see her stupid look. She is as fat as a pig, where does her confidence come from? Even if Huang Minghao is dissatisfied with Jiang Shuya, he married her because of her beauty. He just feels guilty in his heart and never mentioned Cao Fang at all."

Wu Lan looked suspicious and asked in a low voice: "The last time Huang Minghao drank at my house, didn't he say that he regretted marrying Jiang Shuya? Who did he feel sorry for?"
