“However,” Ye Ling’s tone suddenly turned cold. “If your daughter-in-law’s death has nothing to do with me, then you are slandering me. Do you know what slander is? It doesn’t matter if you don’t know. When the time comes, come with me to the office of the educated youth and get the staff to take you to the county court. You’ll know when the time comes.”
Aunt Mei was stunned. Her brain could not process what Ye Ling was saying.
Ye Ling looked at the people around her. “There are quite a lot of witnesses.
When the court summons them, it’s not like we can’t find a single witness.”
Hearing Ye Ling mention “court” and “witness”, the surrounding onlookers were a little nervous and afraid, but they didn’t want to leave. Everyone was really curious about what would happen next.
“What do you mean?” Aunt Mei looked at Ye Ling warily. “Do you think I’ll accuse you wrongly?”
Ye Ling smiled coldly. “That’s hard to say.”
Seeing that Aunt Mei was about to retort, Ye Ling interrupted her. “Since your daughter-in-law is already dead, you wouldn’t mind letting me check on her body, right? Maybe you secretly killed her and then carried her body to the pharmacy to extort money?”
Aunt Mei was so angry that she almost spat out a mouthful of blood. “What nonsense are you talking about?!”
“Then do you dare to let me check?
Aunt Mei felt uneasy.
However, Ye Ling had already said so much. If she didn’t agree to Ye Ling’s request, it would seem like she was guilty.
Anyway, Ah Hui was already dead. No matter how Ye Ling examined her, she was not afraid. She did not kill her, so what was there to be afraid of? At the thought of this, Aunt Mei nodded. “Alright, I’ll let you check.”
After that, Mei Lian and the workers dragged the straw mat to the middle of the courtyard. Ye Ling squatted down and began to examine it carefully.
Ye Ling touched Ah Hui’s hand and slowly lifted it. She looked at Aunt Mei and said, “Her pinky was fractured before.”
Ah Hui’s little finger was indeed bent abnormally at a strange angle.
Aunt Mei was stunned for a moment, her face full of confusion.
Ye Ling rolled up Ah Hui’s sleeve again and pointed at the skin on her arm. “These are needle wounds. Some of them have already healed. These two wounds are deeper and you can still see the marks.”
Before Aunt Mei could react, Ye Ling pried open Ah Hui’s mouth and revealed her teeth. “A small piece of her front tooth is missing. It must have been knocked out.”
Ye Ling pointed out a few more injuries before looking at Aunt Mei. “Auntie, is Ah Hui your daughter-in-law or someone who has a grudge against you?” she asked calmly. “These wounds on her body are all old wounds. They should have been there before she fell ill. It can’t be that she caused these wounds by self-abuse, right?”
Aunt Mei’s face turned paler with every word Ye Ling said. Her lips trembled as she suddenly turned to look at Mei Lian.
She was indeed the one who broke Ah Hui’s front teeth. At that time, Ah Hui had made her angry, so she grabbed Ah Hui’s hair and slammed Ah Hui’s head against the wall. However, she did not notice that a small piece of Ah Hui’s front teeth was broken.
But what was with the needle hole and the broken little finger? It couldn’t be Ma Biao, right? Ma Biao would never do such a thing. Aunt Mei knew very well that her son was a coward. Even if he did not like Ah Hui, he would not treat her like this.
Then there was only one possibility. The needle marks and broken little fingers on Ah Hui’s body were all caused by Mei Lian.
Seeing her mother-in-law staring at her, Mei Lian panicked and hurriedly lowered her head.
Indeed, she was the one who pricked Ah Hui’s body with needles and broke her little finger, but that was all because Ah Hui didn’t listen to her.
Besides, her mother-in-law could beat and scold Ah Hui. She was Ah Hui’s sister-in-law. Why couldn’t she do that?
Before Ma Biao married Ah Hui, Mei Lian was the lowest status in the family. Because she could not give birth to a son, her mother-in-law had always complained about her.
Even though Mei Lian prepared three meals for the family every day, even though she always washed her clothes, even she always took better care of the livestock at home than others, her mother-in-law would still humiliate her from time to time because she could not give birth to a son.
After Ah Hui married into the family, Mei Lian was very polite to Ah Hui at first. However, later on, she saw that her mother-in-law was always beating and scolding Ah Hui, so she did not take Ah Hui seriously anymore. She always let Ah Hui do all kinds of hard housework..
