Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Lü Xiaofeng’s Past

After finishing a bowl of noodles, the team leader filled his stomach and then gulped down a big bowl of water, wiped his mouth, and let out a long sigh.

“How’s it going?”

The team leader glanced at Wen Ran and sighed, “The Lü Family means they don’t want to get involved.”

Wen Ran barely furrowed her brow; the Lü family’s attitude was within her expectations.

Raising a person like Lü Xiaofeng, who is extreme and would kill her own daughter at the slightest disagreement, what kind of positive family atmosphere could they have?

“Wait a minute,” Mrs. Xiao looked at Wen Ran in confusion, “I don’t understand what you are talking about?”

The team leader was taken aback, “You didn’t say it just now?”

Wen Ran blinked innocently, “Ah? Didn’t you just tell me to wait here for you? I thought you planned to say it yourself, so I kept quiet.”

Actually, she was too lazy to say it. The team leader would discuss it again when he returned, so it wasn’t necessary for her to repeat it.

The team leader nodded, feeling even more appreciative of Wen Ran.

This girl is reliable.

She’s trustworthy, and her mouth is tightly sealed.

The team leader spoke quickly, explaining the ins and outs, leaving the Xiao Family stunned, “Isn’t there some misunderstanding in all of this?”

Mrs. Xiao looked incredulous, “I remember that Lü family’s girl, slim and small from a young age, always following that old fifth… cough cough cough…”

Mrs. Xiao was startled, and accidentally mentioned Xiao Chenye.

She wished she could bite off her tongue when she realized.

Carefully glancing at Wen Ran, who remained unfazed, she felt relieved.

This should not be a misunderstanding, right?

Or perhaps…

She didn’t care about her silly son at all?

If it’s the former, it’s fine, but if it’s the latter…

Dear son, your mother will light a candle for you first!

She forced a smile, “Hahaha, yes, as children of the brigade, running around the hills, I remember them; she was quite obedient.

Doesn’t seem like someone who would do such a thing, right?”

“Mom!” Xiao Chenxing pouted, “Didn’t you tell me? You know people by face, not by heart.”

“Did you play with her?”

Xiao Chenxing shouted, “I didn’t! She’s three or four years older than me, we couldn’t hang out together, but she’s cousins with Xiao Nian, and I’ve heard Lü Xiaofeng wasn’t mentally stable since young.”

Mrs. Xiao: “???”

She was even more confused.

I haven’t heard of that.

“Really!” Xiao Chenxing said confidently, “Xiao Nian said she saw Lü Xiaofeng strangling a chick at home when she was young.”

Mr. Xiao was also shocked, though he said nothing, just listening quietly on the side.

After thinking about it, Xiao Chenxing said, “Mom, remember a few years ago when Aunt Feng’s cat had kittens?”

“I remember,” back then, Mrs. Xiao wanted to bring home a kitten to raise and catch mice.

Later, before they could go and get a kitten, the kittens drowned in the river, “Right, didn’t you and Xiao Nian fish the kittens out?”

“Yes, at the time, Xiao Nian and I seemed to vaguely see her shadow,” Xiao Chenxing felt a chill at the thought, “but we didn’t see clearly and didn’t dare say anything.

Lü Dawei and Lü Erwei are not nice people; if there was a misunderstanding, Lü Xiaofeng wouldn’t escape a beating.”

Wen Ran was taken aback, thinking, it turns out the Lü Family really raised a little psycho!

The team leader was very sad, “This is a disaster; this year, the brigade’s evaluation and selection are down the drain again.”

“Is this crime serious?”

The team leader frowned, pondering for a while before speaking, “This matter can be big or small.”

In cases where female infants drowned in basins or were thrown to the mountains, every team had them; it’s just that they didn’t make it public, people just secretly spurn them, turning a blind eye and moving on.

After all, it’s a family matter; meddling too much might provoke someone desperate, and one’s own family could suffer.

But Lü Xiaofeng’s matter has reached the police, and it’s becoming uncontrollable.

If the Lü Family were willing to handle it, maybe things could improve.

The Lü Family doesn’t even want to handle it…

Things don’t look good for Lü Xiaofeng.

“Forget it,” the team leader waved, “worrying is useless; we’ll take it step by step, after all, as the old saying goes, when water comes, just block it!”

Then, the team leader shifted the topic and asked about Xiao Chenyue, “By the way, how’s that girl Chenyue now?”

“She left with Chenguang; moving to a different place is good, at least it won’t impact the children.”

The team leader nodded, “Alright, ultimately, this matter isn’t related to our brigade girls; we’re just victims, so you two old folks, relax.

If any troublemakers come to bother you, just find me.”

“Thank you so much for that.”

“I’m the team leader; I have no choice.”

After saying that, Wen Ran propped her chin and thought, unexpected!

The balding little old man turned out to be reliable.

The rain outside had stopped, and the team leader and Wen Ran bid farewell.

Leaving the Xiao Family door, the team leader wanted to advise Wen Ran, telling her it’s okay to slack off sometimes, but don’t overdo it!

But she turned, and Wen Ran’s feet seemed to be on Wind Fire Wheel, zooming far away.

The team leader: “…”

What is this?

Am I a terrifying monster?

If he couldn’t understand, he chose not to.

He watched Wen Ran’s silhouette and sighed, “It’s good to be young, those legs are strong!”

The team leader felt invigorated and started jogging along.

But the rainy roads were slippery; the water marks on the ground hadn’t dried, and he staggered, helplessly flailing his arms, performing a hot and sexy electric boogie in the air.

After barely maintaining his balance, he walked carefully.

Witnessing it all, Bao Wenxuan: “?”

Maybe, that’s the team leader’s hobby?

Can’t quite understand.

Wen Ran had already dashed home, and only after leaving the Xiao Family doorway did she realize there were still hungry mouths at home.

Chickens, on the occasion they miss a meal, are okay; they can catch bugs themselves.

She had filled Hetao’s food bowl before leaving.

She had forgotten about the injured head wolf.

Wen Ran: “…”

Amen.

Hope it doesn’t starve.

Upon opening the utility room door, there was nothing inside.

Wen Ran breathed a sigh of relief; fortunately, although the wolf was gone, at least it didn’t starve in her room.

After tidying up the utility room briefly, Wen Ran went to boil chicken feed, and while playing with the lively Hetao, Bao Wenxuan arrived.

“My mom sent me a package again, this is for you; see if it fits?”

While speaking, Bao Wenxuan took out a set of clothes from her basket.

Very neat.

A white shirt, a pair of black pants, and a pair of leather shoes.

“This is too valuable.”

Bao Wenxuan laughed, “It’s not valuable, just a set of clothes; besides, even if valuable, could it be more valuable than me?”
