Transmigration: Getting Rich with My Space and Supplies-Chapter 209 - 199 Inquiry_2

Huang Cuihua took a few steps, then suddenly remembered something and hurriedly went to close the door.

After the door was shut, she then led the person into the kitchen.

After all, her own room was not convenient.

And currently, the kitchen was the only place without people; her daughters-in-law were all in the fields at this time and would not be returning home anytime soon.

"Qin Ye’s Wife, how did you know it was me who spoke to the police? I remember asking the police to keep it a secret, huh!"

Rong Yan’s lips curled slightly, "I guessed it myself."

"Lies, how could you have guessed." Huang Cuihua didn’t believe her one bit.

Rong Yan: "It’s quite easy to guess! Didn’t the team leader say that day that he had important clues to report to the police? He didn’t say it at first, but after he went home, he came back to my place once. Obviously, it was when he was at home that you told him."

Huang Cuihua:...

Is your brain really that sharp?

Rong Yan didn’t want to waste time with her, "Don’t dwell on this matter, just tell me everything you know."

Huang Cuihua looked at Rong Yan’s clean, new clothes; they were damn good-looking.

Her eyes darted around, hatching a plan.

"I can tell you, but in fact, I know quite a lot. How about this, you give me ten yuan..."

If not now, when would she demand more money?

"Ten yuan?" Rong Yan raised her eyebrows, "It’s not out of the question, but it depends on the value of the information you have. After all, I’ve heard quite a lot as well."

Her lips curved slightly, "Auntie, Qin Ye went to the police station yesterday. The reason I came to you is precisely because I want to know something different."

Thinking of taking ten yuan from her? That would depend on what she could offer.

It’s not like she could get it just by asking.

"I... Alright, actually, I’m not very clear on the details, but that year, Qin Fulin went up the mountain with Tian Yumei, and when he came down, he was alone. At that time, I found it a bit strange, but didn’t pay it much mind, until the police mentioned the bones on the mountain. I didn’t think too much of it... Yes, that day I just happened to see Qin Fulin looking panicked, and that’s when I remembered this. I’ve seen Tian Yumei with Qin Fulin many times..."

"And once, I saw the two of them arguing, and it even involved Qin Ye’s dad, that..."

Huang Cuihua glanced at Rong Yan.

Rong Yan met her gaze, "That what? Auntie, I’m aware of what you’ve said so far. If it’s just this, then I can’t give you the ten yuan."

Huang Cuihua clenched her teeth: "Tian Yumei said... Qin Fulin used to be infatuated with Qin Ye’s mother..."

Rong Yan:...

"I only know these, nothing else. Also, rest assured, I haven’t talked about this matter with anyone else. I only mentioned it to the head of my household once, and after he scolded me for spreading rumors, I never brought it up again."

Rong Yan did not expect to hear such explosive information.

So, Qin Fulin wanted to kill Qin Ye’s dad out of jealousy?

"Auntie, you’ve gone too far with the gossip. My mother-in-law has been dead for so many years; I hope you can be more respectful in what you say."

After she finished speaking, she only gave five yuan.

Seeing Huang Cuihua’s changing expression, her own gaze turned cold, "I don’t want to hear about this. If rumors start spreading in the village, you wouldn’t want the team leader to lose his position, would you?"

Huang Cuihua’s complexion turned particularly ugly.

But at this moment, Rong Yan’s presence was so imposing; Huang was momentarily stunned.

Rong Yan ignored her, but before leaving, she still placed the bag of pastries she had on the stove.

Then she walked out directly.

Huang Cuihua felt shortchanged by five yuan; she was about to get angry, but then she pinched the money in her hand and looked at the pastries that were left behind.

The resentment she felt vanished in an instant.

Getting five yuan was still something.

She couldn’t wait to open the paper package, and when she saw the beautiful cakes which she did not recognize, her eyes lit up...

In fact, the fragrant cakes were osmanthus cakes bought by Rong Yan from Space Supermarket, merely made into a pleasing shape.

Rong Yan was walking slowly down the road, pondering whether to tell Qin Ye about this matter.

After all... it related to his mother, who had passed away many years ago, and it was indeed difficult to bring up.

By the time she reached her doorstep, she looked up and saw Qin Ye with an anxious expression on his face.

"Wife..."

Rong Yan looked at his face and made up her mind at once.

"I’ve got some information from her, let’s go back to the room and talk about it."

Qin Ye immediately nodded, "Okay."

The two of them entered the yard, one after the other, and then returned to their own room.

Qin Ye casually closed the door behind them.

"Wife, what did you find out?"

Although his expression seemed calm, his words were tinged with urgency, clearly showing his concern.

Rong Yan weighed her words for a moment before speaking, "Huang Cuihua said the same things as you told me last night, but she also mentioned something else, that is..."

"Qin Fulin was in love with your mother back then, so he might have harmed your father out of jealousy."

After Qin Ye heard this, his expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

The oppressive atmosphere around him became terrifyingly dense.

Knowing just how unpleasant he must be feeling, Rong Yan patted him on the shoulder.

"If it really was him who harmed your father, then... I just don’t understand why he waited so many years after your mother’s death to make his move?"

If it were out of love for a person, one wouldn’t wait so many years after their death to seek revenge, right?

Besides, they were supposedly as close as brothers; how could he be so monstrously heartless?

Qin Ye’s voice was heavy, "That’s because he never had the chance before."

His father was formidable and would never have allowed Qin Fulin the opportunity to scheme against him.

That’s why Qin Fulin harbored malicious intentions and lay in wait.

In the end, not only did he cause the death of his father, but he also bought his father’s job for one hundred yuan.

Moreover, he would occasionally come to his house under the guise of concern for the three siblings.

He’d even bring little gifts or favors.

Recalling the times he had been somewhat deceived by Qin Fulin’s act, he wanted to slap himself a few times.

Rong Yan looked at him and then said, "Alright! I’ll go to the police station tomorrow."

As soon as Qin Ye heard this, he quickly voiced his opposition, "No, you can’t go."

Rong Yan looked at him with some confusion, "Why can’t I go? There are some things that wouldn’t be convenient for you to ask, but it wouldn’t be a problem for me. Don’t worry, he’s locked up in that place; how could he possibly hurt me?"

Indeed, Qin Ye was worried about his wife’s safety; he feared that revealing this matter might provoke Mrs. Qin’s wrath and possibly harm his wife... which would be terrible.

Also, he didn’t want his wife to be involved in these distressing affairs.

Seeing that Qin Ye wanted to say something more, Rong Yan reached out and hugged him.

"It’s okay, I know what to say and do, don’t worry."

With her embrace, Qin Ye couldn’t resist anymore and simply nodded, "Alright, but I need to go with you tomorrow. You go in first, and I’ll wait outside."

Rong Yan had no objections to his condition and simply nodded her head, "Okay, that’s decided then; we’ll go tomorrow."

However, after thinking it over, she felt there was still time that day.

So she changed her mind and said, "Actually, why don’t we go today?"

The sooner the case is solved, the sooner it will be over.

Qin Ye looked at her, "Alright."

"Then it’s settled, go get the bicycle," Rong Yan gave him a push.

Qin Ye immediately walked out.

As he was taking out the bicycle,

Madam Rong couldn’t help but ask, "Little Qin, where are you off to?"

At that moment, Rong Yan came out of the house.

"Mom, Qin and I are going into town for a bit; don’t wait for us to have dinner."

"Oh, right now?"
