Every Year, Today is Peace

In her previous life, Old Lady Feng and her husband were brainwashed by her in-laws and brothers. Burdened by the idea that having daughters meant succession ended, they desperately earned money an...

Chapter 5 Worse than Beasts

Chapter 5 Worse than Beasts

Feng Lan burst into tears and in just a few words revealed to the public what Chen Daya had experienced over the years and the old lady of the Chen family's past behavior.

A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and everyone immediately started talking about it.

"What's wrong with the old lady of the Chen family? Isn't Daya her granddaughter? Such a good girl, even if she wants to get married, she should find a good family. She actually married an old bachelor from the next village, what a piece of shit!"

"Who says it's not true? The eldest family worked like slaves for the Chen family, and in the end they even had to sell their daughter. They are worse than animals!"

"It's okay to serve your own parents, but what's the matter with serving uncles and aunts from other branches? And serving cousins ​​too? This is simply not something a human being can do."

"You know what? The kids from the other branches of the Chen family are always yelling outside, saying they all have maids to serve them. It seems like they're treating their cousins ​​like maids."

"Bah! How shameless! I heard before that they were going to sell some of my cousins ​​so that they could marry wives. They are really little beasts raised by their beastly parents. They don't even understand human nature."

The villagers scolded the Chen family harshly, and the headman's expression became increasingly grim.

Although these are all facts, if the Chen family's affairs really get out, I'm afraid that Pingjiang Village will also be embarrassed in the future.

Not to mention finding a wife for the son in the village, even marrying off a daughter is not easy.

If people from other villages heard how Pingjiang Village treated their daughters-in-law, daughters, and granddaughters, who would dare to marry their daughter to their village? He, the village head, would probably be scolded!

Even if the people from their village leave in the future, they will probably be criticized and called beasts.

What the Chen family did not only harmed the eldest branch of the Chen family, but also ruined the reputation of their entire Pingjiang Village.

"What are you talking about? Shut up!"

The head of the village shouted loudly, shutting up everyone who was talking, but the looks they gave the Chen family were not very favorable.

Especially those families who are waiting to get married, they are not in a good mood.

The village head saw that everyone had quieted down a lot, and then he looked at the old lady of the Chen family.

"Chen family, are you going to sell Daya from the eldest wife's house?"

The old lady of the Xia family didn't feel she was wrong at all. She immediately stiffened her neck and yelled, "Village head, Daya is my granddaughter. Our Chen family has raised her for so many years. It's time for her to repay our Chen family."

"Now that my youngest son is studying, she has to find a way to give me money. If she doesn't have money, it's her responsibility to sell herself. No one can stop her!"

The old lady of the Xia family got up from the ground, turned her triangular eyes to Chen Kangbo's face, and signaled Chen Kangbo to speak.

Chen Kangbo met his mother's fierce gaze and sneered, "Village head, please help me report it to the police! We are engaging in illegal human trafficking and will go to jail. We are human traffickers!"

"Lizheng, you are the village head, the leader of our entire Pingjiang Village. Facing a human trafficker like this, today he sold my daughter, and tomorrow he might steal someone else's daughter in the village and sell her out if he runs out of money. How are you going to deal with this? Are you going to mediate or handle the matter impartially? Her mother and I are watching!"

"But I'm putting this out there. As long as I, Chen Kangbo, am alive, I will never allow anyone to bully my wife and daughter!"

Chen Kangbo roared viciously.

At this moment, the honest man Chen Kangbo in everyone's eyes was completely different from before. He was like an enraged wolf, ferocious and persistent.

For a moment, no one dared to look him in the eye, and the village head couldn't help wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

He knew that honest people also had a bottom line, and once this bottom line was touched, no one knew what would happen.

But if they really report it to the authorities, the situation will be beyond their control, and the face and reputation of Pingjiang Village will be ruined.

But looking at Chen Kangbo's appearance at this time, the village head felt a little scared.

There's still a hole in Tian Gaoyi's head...

"Boss, what did you say? You want to report it to the police? You want someone to arrest your mother!"

The old lady of the Chen family looked incredulous.

This is her most filial eldest son.

Tian Gaoyi covered his head with his clothes. When he heard Chen Kangbo was about to report him to the police, he shouted, "We were all sent by the old lady of the Chen family. We also made an agreement with her. I'm not afraid even if you report us to the police!"

His two brothers who had just been chased away by Chen Kangbo also came back. Although he was afraid, there were still so many people on their side, and they felt they were right.

Upon hearing this, Tian Gaoyi's other brothers also echoed him.

"That's right. This is originally your Chen family's business. It has nothing to do with us. It was your old lady who said she wanted to sell her granddaughter to our eldest brother as his wife. Our eldest brother prepared ten taels of silver, and it wasn't for nothing. Besides, our eldest brother didn't even touch her hand. You can't be unreasonable."

Meeting Chen Kangbo's murderous gaze, the man's voice became even softer.

Chen Kangbo looked at them coldly, "You want to talk about reason? Go to the government office and talk to the officials in the prison. The government is the most fair place. If the officials say he is not guilty, I, Chen Kangbo, kowtow and apologize to you! But if the officials say he is guilty, then he should go to prison."

Chen Kangbo's expression was cold and his tone was firm, which made Tian Gaoyi feel uneasy.

He climbed up tremblingly and stared at the old lady of the Chen family.

"Mrs. Chen, please say something. You were the one who told me you were going to sell your eldest granddaughter. How can you put the blame on me?"

The old lady of the Chen family couldn't believe that her eldest son, who always obeyed her, would one day contradict her and humiliate her in front of so many people.
