Chapter 180: Hiding

He Dahai looked a little flustered and casually made up an excuse. “I’m going to the fields to take a look. I’m a little busy now, so I won’t talk to you anymore.
There’s still a lot of work to do in the fields!”
After saying that, he did not wait for He Yufeng to speak and left. His footsteps were very fast, completely unlike a crippled person.
He Yufeng looked at He Dahai’s back and felt a little strange. He felt that something was wrong with his expression. Moreover, when he spoke to him, he rubbed his pants nervously. This was a sign of a person’s guilt.
Why would He Dahai feel guilty?
He Yufeng glanced at the tightly shut door of He Dahai’s house and thought for a moment before walking over.
The door was locked. He Yufeng frowned.
Due to He Dahai’s abnormal behavior, he should go in and take a look. However, it was not appropriate for him to climb over the wall and smash the lock!
He Yufeng knocked on the door. “Is anyone home?”
“Ahhh…” Chen Xiang tried her best to make a sound.
He Yufeng waited for a while but did not hear anything. He felt that he must be thinking too much, so he turned around and walked back.
Something’s not right!
The land in He Dahai’s house was not in the direction he had walked in just now. It was in the village. Because of his legs, He Dahai never went to the village. Something big must have happened to make He Dahai choose to go to the village. Moreover, He Dahai had lied to him just now!
He Yufeng rushed over and kicked open He Dahai’s door. At this moment, he had completely forgotten Su Li’s instructions to not do any strenuous exercise.
Because he had exerted too much strength in his feet, He Yufeng felt a trace of pain. He pinched his leg with his hand and frowned. After calming down for a while, he walked into the house.
When Chen Xiang heard the voice outside, she was so excited that she almost cried.
He Yufeng glanced around the courtyard and locked onto the house with the door closed. He walked over and pushed the door open.
When he saw Chen Xiang being helped, a trace of surprise appeared on his face. He Dahai had tied up his wife?
Without any time to think, He Yufeng walked over and untied Chen Xiang.

She looked at He Yufeng and said excitedly, “Qingyao’s father…”
He Yufeng asked, “Sister=, what’s wrong? Did you have a conflict with Brother Dahai?”
Chen Xiang opened her mouth, but the words that had reached her throat could not come out!
If she told He Yufeng about this, they would hide the fugitive. If He Dahai couldn’t find him when he brought the officials over, would they blame him?
No! She could not tell He Yufeng about this. Chen Xiang felt that her mind was extremely clear at this moment. Compared to her man, Su Li did not seem to be that important anymore.
Besides, harboring a fugitive was a serious crime. They didn’t ask Su Li to do this. If she was convicted because of this, they couldn’t be blamed.
Chen Xiang sniffed and said, “That’s right. It was just a few arguments. I mocked him for being a cripple and a useless thing, so he tied me up angrily.” He Yufeng was speechless.
No wonder he had felt strange when he looked at He Dahai just now. It turned out that he had been mocked by his wife. He could not take it anymore and tied him up.
He Yufeng did not know how to comfort others. He said dryly, “When I see Brother Dahai, I’ll definitely help you say a few words about him. No matter what conflict there is, he can’t hit you.”
Chen Xiang bit her lip and a little tear fell. “Thank you!”
She felt a little uncomfortable and did not even dare to look up at He Yufeng.
Seeing her like this, He Yufeng thought that she was sad. He shook his head and said, “It’s fine. I’ll have a good chat with him later. Sister-in-law, don’t expose his shortcomings in the future.”
As the saying goes, don’t hit someone in the face and don’t expose their shortcomings. Chen Xiang directly hit He Dahai’s sore spot, which was why he acted so aggressively.
Chen Xiang lowered her head and replied in a muffled voice, “Yes! I won’t do it again. ”
He Yufeng turned around and looked at the door that he had kicked open. He said, “I thought something big had happened to your family just now, so I kicked your door in a hurry. But don’t worry, I’ll find a good door and make a new door for you.”
Chen Xiang said, “It’s fine. That door is not strong to begin with.”
“Since there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first.”
He Yufeng could not stay any longer. He turned around and went home.
Su Li, who was operating in the room, felt her eyelids twitching even more. They kept twitching, making it impossible for her to focus on the surgery.
Cheng Yu realized that there was something wrong with Su Li’s condition and looked at her in surprise. “Madam Su, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
In the past, Su Li was not in this state. From the beginning, she seemed to be a
little off.
Su Li shook her head and said, “I’m fine. My eyelids just keep twitching.”
Cheng Yu asked, “Left eye or right eye?”
Su Li glanced at him and said, “Right eye!”
Cheng Yu’s gaze was a little complicated. He said half seriously and half jokingly, “The left eye twitches for money, and the right eye twitches for disaster. Madam Su, are you going to be unlucky?”
Su Li glared at him. “If I’m unlucky, I’ll start with you first. What a jinx.” Cheng Yu smiled awkwardly.
Although she said that, Su Li still took it to heart. Could she really be in trouble?
The woman glanced at He Dahai. “Cripple, you’re here to watch the show too?” He Dahai had a nickname in the village— Cripple He.
You might not know He Dahai’s name in the village, but as soon as Cripple He was mentioned, everyone in the village knew who he was.
When He Dahai heard the word cripple, his expression did not look too good, but he still maintained his smile. “Yes, I heard that an official came to our village, so I wanted to come and take a look. After all, I’ve never seen an official look like this in my life!”
The woman looked at him in disdain. “Seriously, you’re just crippled. It’s not like your lower body is crippled. If you have nothing to do, you can follow everyone to town. Perhaps we’ll have a chance to see them.”
He Dahai’s expression did not look good, but he did not dare to argue with the woman. He continued to ask, “Auntie, tell me where the official is. I’ll go back to work after taking a look!”
The woman pointed him in a direction. “They’re at the village chief’s house now. If anyone can provide clues, they’ll still get a hundred taels of silver. I don’t know who’s so lucky, but it’s definitely not you. How can someone like you, who doesn’t leave the house, encounter such a good thing?”
The woman continued talking and did not notice He Dahai’s expression at all.
He Dahai, who was in a hurry to collect the silver, ran excitedly towards the village chief’s house, afraid that the silver would be taken away if he was slow.
The woman looked at He Dahai’s departing figure and shouted, “What are you doing? I’m not done yet!”
“Why is a cripple running so fast? Be careful not to fall to your death and lose your other leg!”
“You’re really someone who has never seen the world in your life. Are you just a few officials? Look at you. You look like a wolf who has seen meat. It’s embarrassing if word gets out. Pfft… What the hell!”
When He Dahai heard the woman’s scolding, he comforted himself in his heart. As long as he had money, no one would dare to look down on him in the future.
When he finally reached the village chief’s house, He Dahai was already panting from exhaustion. He took a deep breath and stepped into the village chief’s house.
“Village Chief…
