Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 959 News of the Midwife’s Death
After listening to the information obtained by the monkey, Zhang Yu became even more suspicious.

It must have been a long time since we talked about the Man family, it was only about twenty years ago.

Logically speaking, there should be many old neighbors who witnessed this with their own eyes.

But after careful calculation, there are only two people left who have witnessed what happened back then.

The rest will die and the rest will be moved away.

As a monkey who personally inquires about information, I feel deeply that something is wrong here.

If there is nothing going on here, the dog won’t believe it.

While the two were chatting, Zhang Yu suddenly thought of something and asked directly: "Brother Monkey, have you ever found the midwife who did the certification for the Man family? I think she should know something."

Monkey nodded: "There is really no such thing. I will go back and find someone to inquire. Xiaoyu will just wait for my news."

The monkey came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

At noon on the third day, when Zhang Yu was eating, the monkey hurried over again.

As soon as he entered the door, he said: "Xiaoyu, I have found out about the midwife."

Seeing him covered in sweat and panting, Zhang Yu hurriedly poured him a glass of water.

The monkey took the water and drank it in one gulp, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "It's so nice! I was so thirsty just now."

After rejecting Zhang Yu's offer to add water to him, the monkey went straight to the point and told the news he had learned.

"I asked someone to find out. The midwife from back then has long since disappeared."

As soon as he heard that the person was gone, Zhang Yu immediately became energetic and asked: "When was it gone?"

Monkey put down the cup in his hand and his face became serious: "Not two days after proving to the young man that he had a full house waiting for the child, he drank two more cups because he went out for a wedding banquet. On the way home, his foot slipped in into a puddle and drowned.”

After that, he added: "I asked someone to inquire. The puddle where the midwife drowned was not big at all. The water was only as deep as the knees. A normal person would not be able to drown even if he was lying sideways, let alone standing up. , but the midwife drowned.

Later, some people said that she was drunk, accidentally fell into the pit, and then drowned head first. "

When he said this, the monkey's face was full of doubt.

Since the midwife was able to go home on her own after drinking, it proves that she was not too drunk and how could she be drowned alive in a small puddle.

The two looked at each other to make sure that the other person thought the same thing.

Rather than saying that the midwife died due to an accident, Zhang Yu and the others believed that someone killed someone to silence her in order to avoid being caught.

Speaking of the midwife, Monkey remembered what a man in his thirties said when he went to inquire about the midwife's house.

The man was only sixty-seven years old. When he was playing hide-and-seek with a group of children, he hid in the firewood pile and overheard the midwife talking to someone. Because so much time has passed, the man can’t remember exactly what the midwife said to him back then?
I can only vaguely remember the money. When it's done, leave it to me. Don't worry, birthmarks and other things. As for the person talking to the midwife, the man didn't see clearly at all. He only remembered that the other person was a man and that he was not tall.

When talking about being short, the man was very sure. After all, the midwife was not tall, but the man was not as tall as the midwife.

Zhang Yu's attention at this time was completely attracted by the birthmark of Monkey Haozhong. Speaking of birthmarks, the first thing that came to his mind was a full tank.

Back then, wasn't it because of the birthmark on Mantan's feet that Mantan and his wife recognized him? Is there something fishy about this birthmark?

I just don't know if the old couple in the Man family know, whether they do it intentionally and want to take advantage of the situation to find a son for themselves, or whether they really think that is their son.

Just as Zhang Yu was thinking about this, the monkey's next words added another layer of doubt to Mantan: "I heard from the midwife's neighbor that not long after the midwife died, his family made an unexpected fortune. , that’s a lot of money, and the midwife’s eldest son built his current house with that money.

And it is said that it was because of this money that the midwife's sons made a big fuss in their mother's mourning hall, to the point where they had no contact with each other until they died.

However, even if there was such a big quarrel, if a neighbor joked about his family's getting rich, the midwife's sons would firmly deny it, and even said that the quarrel they had was not about money at all, but The brothers were at odds with each other. "

The source of this money is definitely not legitimate. Otherwise, in this era when Tumo Xingzi can drown people, how could the midwife's sons prefer to admit that their brothers are at odds with each other rather than reveal the existence of this money.

"Full family, old neighbor, midwife, full vat, unexpected wealth..." Zhang Yu kept thinking about these words, and they were almost connected by just one line.

Moreover, these clues are connected together, making Zhang Yu feel more and more familiar.

"When have you seen such a thing? When have you ever seen such a thing?" Zhang Yu muttered to himself while rubbing his head.

Seeing Zhang Yu muttering something as if in a daze, Monkey interrupted him directly: "Don't think so much. Since the full tank has moved, there will definitely be times when the truth is revealed."

Being pulled out of his personal world, Zhang Yu suddenly sobered up a lot and nodded: "I understand, then I have to ask Brother Monkey to help me continue to inquire about this matter. By the way, if it is convenient, please find someone to help keep an eye on him." The tank is full in one go.”

"Row!"

Zhang Yu: "Then I'll thank Brother Monkey in advance."

"What's the point? You are the boss's brother, and you are my brother." Faced with Zhang Yu's thanks, Monkey waved his hands in discomfort.

"Then I won't say thank you, but I have to pay for someone to keep an eye on him. It's not easy for brothers to make a living, so I can't take advantage of this."

Monkey didn't refuse Zhang Yu's offer of money. When the eldest brother asked him to do this, he had already calculated that Brother Xiaoyu would give money. He had already said that if Brother Xiaoyu wanted to give money, he would Let him keep it.

After talking about the business, the two chatted a few more words.

As he spoke, Zhang Yu seemed to have thought of something and patted his head: "Look at my mind. I was only thinking about talking. I forgot to ask you if you had eaten?"

"Xiaoyu, you can eat by yourself. I'll go back soon." When talking about eating, Monkey subconsciously touched his stomach. Not to mention that he didn't really feel it. He was really hungry.

Zhang Yu didn't listen to his refusal at all. He stood up and walked to the kitchen. As he walked, he said: "You just said that you treat me as a brother. Now you are being polite again yesterday. When you come to my place, you better give it to me." To do things, you must be well fed, there is no reason for you to leave hungry."
