Chapter 345: Chapter 338 Zhang Banzui’s Words Came True_1

The wailing was approaching bit by bit, and soon it reached the door.

Thump, thump, thump!

The crying woman was knocking forcefully on the door knocker.

“Master Qin… you must seek justice for my daughter! Wuu wuu wuu…”

It was Auntie Hua’s voice.

Qin Niu abruptly stood up and rushed outside, arriving at the courtyard gate after just a couple of strides.

Upon opening the gate, Auntie Hua’s face was smeared with tears, leaning on the door frame, with dishevelled hair and wearing her sleepwear of undergarments and undershorts, patched up in many places.

Many rural women are very frugal.

Mostly because they are poor.

Auntie Hua was normally a very prideful woman. She would dress as decently as possible when going out and apply a bit of makeup appropriately.

Now, wearing a patched-up outfit outside, it definitely indicated that something serious had happened.

“Auntie Hua, don’t panic, tell me what happened slowly.”

She was Qin Niu’s matchmaker; now that something happened in her family, Qin Niu would undoubtedly stand up for her.

Auntie Hua wiped away her tears, but they just wouldn’t stop flowing incessantly.

“This morning, after getting up and preparing the meal as usual, I called my daughter to get up and eat, but there was no response no matter how much I called. I ran to her room to check, and I don’t know which bastard ruined my daughter! There was blood all down below, and she was hanging dead from the roof beam. I beg Master Qin to seek justice for my daughter and bring the murderer to justice.”

Auntie Hua dropped to her knees, repeatedly kowtowing to Qin Niu.

Forehead striking the ground, blood was visible on her forehead in an instant, and a large bruise swelled up.

“Auntie Hua, don’t do this, please get up!”

Qin Niu helped Auntie Hua up.

“First, take me to your home to take a look. If you suspect anyone, you can also tell me who it is.”

Encountering such an incident early in the morning left Qin Niu speechless.

He couldn’t help but think of what Zhang Banzui had predicted a couple of days ago.

Zhang Banzui said that there would be misfortune in Auntie Hua’s family, but at that time, everyone thought Zhang Banzui was spouting nonsense.

Little did they know, it came true so quickly.

Auntie Hua only had one daughter, and now she had been killed. How was she supposed to live on?

Although in these troubled times, human life is as fragile as grass.

But for those families who have lost loved ones, it is an absolute catastrophe.

Most of the villagers in Shuangfeng Village are honest and simple.

Only Wang Haikun could be considered a villain in the village, oppressing the people and wreaking havoc in the area. Ever since Qin Niu severed one of Wang Haikun’s arms, Wang Haikun never again bullied anyone.

He mostly stayed at home drinking or worked in the fields.

He might have thought about taking revenge on Qin Niu in the past, but as Qin Niu continued to rise rapidly and gain fortune, Wang Haikun became as insignificant as a speck of dust.

To put it bluntly, Qin Niu could easily crush him with a single finger.

Qin Niu followed Auntie Hua to her home.

Auntie Hua’s daughter slept in the inner room, separated only by a wall from Auntie Hua’s room.

There were no signs of struggle inside the room.

Neither the door nor the windows had been tampered with.

For families like Silver Coin’s, who were slightly wealthier, if they had daughters, they would construct a loft.

Since ancient times, there has been the saying of keeping daughters in lofty chambers.

This, in fact, was to ensure the safety of daughters.

Because the doors and windows of old were made of wood and easily breached by criminals who could then enter and commit crimes.

Ancient women often pursued an ideal of delicate beauty.

Not only were they easily frightened, but their bodies were also weak and powerless, easily subdued by criminals.

If it were possible to build a loft and raise the daughter there, it would be much safer.

Auntie Hua was poor and couldn’t afford such a thing.

Keeping her daughter in the rear room provided at least one added layer of protection.
