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 9: Family Law? I'll show you what the king's law is!

Feng Lan dragged Daya back to her room and bolted the door tightly. She leaned against the cold door, listening to Chen Kangyun's pig-slaughtering screams and the Chen family's old lady's heartbreaking curses in the yard. Only then did her heart, which was filled with hatred and anger, finally settle down a little.

She is still alive, her husband is still alive, and her daughter is still alive.

very nice.

In the yard, the other members of the Chen family looked at Chen Kangyun rolling on the ground holding his broken leg. Their faces were pale, and they were both terrified and angry.

Old Man Chen's hands, resting on his cane, were shaking violently. He stared intently at his eldest son, who looked like a demon in the courtyard. His lips trembled for a long time before he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Boss...you...are you trying to rebel against the heavens?"

He couldn't understand why his son, who had always been hardworking and never fought back, had become a completely different person. His eyes were as cold as ice, chilling him to the core.

Chen Kangbo glanced expressionlessly at Chen Kangyun, who was wailing on the ground. There was no emotion in his voice. "Dad, he signed and sealed it himself. I'm just seeking justice for Daya. It's only right."

"Fairness? He is your own brother! You are hitting him so hard, you are going to cripple him!" Old man Chen was so angry that he was shaking all over, and he slammed the ground with the crutch in his hand.

"Brother?" Chen Kangbo sneered, his laughter filled with mockery and sadness. "When he and you tried to sell my daughter, did he ever consider that I was his biological brother?"

The village head was caught in the middle, feeling overwhelmed. He looked at Chen Kangbo, who looked like he wanted to kill anyone who came, and then at the old lady of the Chen family, who looked like she wanted to pounce on Feng Lan and eat her alive. He felt that the Chen family compound was a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment.

He cleared his throat and tried to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, stop talking! Chen family, quickly find someone to take Lao Liu to the town clinic. His leg is important! This... this is your family matter. Solve it behind closed doors. Don't let the whole village laugh at you!"

After saying this, he hurriedly waved his hand to disperse the villagers who were still clinging to the door to watch the excitement. Although everyone was still reluctant to leave, the head of the village had spoken and they had no choice but to disperse, looking back every few steps.

The door slammed shut, blocking out the outside world.

The atmosphere in the yard instantly dropped to freezing point.

Old man Chen looked at the empty courtyard gate, then at the mess in front of him. He couldn't breathe and his body swayed.

The second brother, Chen Kangzhong, covered his swollen face with his hands. His eyes rolled as he leaned close to Old Man Chen's ear and whispered in a low voice, like a venomous snake spitting out its tongue: "Dad, did you see that? There's no respect in that look from my eldest brother. If he dares to break Old Six's leg today, he'll kick you out of your position as head of the family tomorrow!"

"He hates us! He hates all of us! He wants to seize power, to trample our entire family under his feet, and let his bunch of money-losing people take over!"

Every word Chen Kangzhong said struck a chord with Old Man Chen. He valued his authority as head of the family above all else, and he feared the loss of power. With Chen Kangzhong fanning the flames, his initial confusion and hesitation were instantly replaced by a raging rage.

"Rebellion! Truly rebellion!" Old Man Chen's face turned blue with rage, and he threw his cane to the ground with a loud clang. "Block the door shut! Today I must enforce family law and teach this unfilial son a lesson! Let him know who's in charge in this family!"

Upon receiving the order, the second brother, Chen Kangzhong, and the fifth brother, Chen Kangshu, immediately showed ferocious smiles on their faces. They had long disliked Chen Kangbo, and today they finally had a legitimate way to vent their anger.

The two men, one on the left and one on the right, pounced on Chen Kangbo like wolves and tigers, and pinned him down.

"Brother, Dad told you to kneel down and be punished!" Chen Kangzhong said gritting his teeth, increasing the strength in his hands.

Chen Kangbo didn't resist, letting them hold him down, his dark eyes fixed on his father. He wanted to see how far this so-called father's heart could go, and how ruthless his hands could be.

Old Chen grabbed a stick from the corner, a thick stick as thick as a child's arm. It was the one he usually used to beat disobedient animals. Panting heavily, he walked up to Chen Kangbo, raised the stick high, and shouted, "You beast! I'm going to beat you up today and teach you what filial piety and rules are!"

The heavy wooden stick came down hard on Chen Kangbo's back with a whistling sound!

At this critical moment!

"Bang--!"

With a loud bang, the door of the main room was kicked open from the inside.

Feng Lan was like an enraged female leopard, her eyes were red, she was holding a heavy four-legged bench high in her hands, and she exuded a heart-pounding murderous aura.

"Who dares to touch my man!"

Her voice was hoarse, but filled with a desperate madness.

Without waiting for everyone to react, she rushed over like a whirlwind, swung the bench in her hand, and smashed it at Chen Kangzhong and Chen Kangshu who were holding down Chen Kangbo.

That posture doesn't show that he wants to save people, but wants to kill people!
