Chapter 319 The Truth Comes to Light

After hearing this, Lin sighed helplessly.

She knew the principle of "I would rather die of hunger than steal, and I would rather die of injustice than complain".

If ordinary people wanted to file a lawsuit, the complaint had to be passed through layers of documents and sent by yamen runners before it reached the supervisor.

Officials often take the opportunity to extort money, and the plaintiff cannot bear the high profits. Even if they are wealthy, they cannot afford such torture, let alone ordinary people like them.

Seeing Lin sighing and frowning, Chen Qingqing said soothingly, "Mom, my dad is right. There's no rush to report it to the police. Let's wait until my brother's injury gets better and find out the cause, then we can make plans."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Sun was helpless, but had no other choice but to nod and agree.

Time flies, half a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

After Chen Qingqing's careful treatment over the past few days, Chen Feng's injuries have basically healed.

Now the throat tube has been removed and I can eat some liquid food such as rice soup.

That day, the two chatted for a while. Seeing that Chen Feng was in good spirits, Chen Qingqing asked tentatively, "Brother, I want to know how you got injured?"

"this....."

Chen Feng hesitated. That day, he was dragged out for a drink. Wu Shiren wanted to keep him in the shop as a chef. After he politely declined, those people kept forcing him to drink.

The next morning, those people wrongly accused him of stealing silver and beat him wantonly. In a fit of rage, he told Wang Decai about his embezzlement of silver, which completely angered him.

He watched the stick fall from Wang Decai's hand, and then he knew nothing.

When he woke up, he found himself lying at home.

He has also been struggling with this issue, whether to tell the truth to his family or not.

If I tell you the truth, based on my little sister's personality, she will not let it go.

Those people are like-minded, if they really team up, they can do anything immoral.

If his younger sister were to be plotted against, he, as the eldest brother, would become a complete sinner.

No, I must not cause trouble for my little sister.

Having made up his mind, he chuckled and said, "Little sister, I got drunk last night and fell into the ditch."

Although Chen Qingqing has been taking care of Chen Feng at home these days, she has not been idle. In order to find out who hurt Chen Feng,

She asked Dabao to go to Qingshui Restaurant and ask around many times, and finally found the stinking ditch they mentioned.

Then we found the night watchmen and residents nearby, and they all said that no fight had occurred that night.

This made Chen Qingqing even more certain of her suspicion that the people at Qingshui Restaurant were lying.

She was stunned. She didn't expect Chen Feng to lie to her. She immediately frowned.

"Brother, you said you fell into the ditch because you were drunk, do you think I would believe you?

Don't forget, I'm a doctor, I can tell the difference between a fall and a beating, and Wang Decai, Wu Shiren and the others didn't say you were injured by a fall,

Tell me the truth, how did you do it?"

After these words were spoken, it was Chen Feng's turn to be surprised. "They didn't say I fell, so what did they say?"

"They said you provoked a decent woman in the street and got beaten up by a man."

Chen Qingqing didn't want to beat around the bush anymore and said directly,

"I've had Dabao find out these days that there was no fighting in Qingshui Town that night.

Tell me the truth, were you bullied in the restaurant? Who hit you? Why did they hit you?

After a series of questions, Chen Feng didn't know where to start. Should he tell the truth?

He was afraid that those villains would take action against his sister, so he remained silent.

Seeing Chen Feng lowering his head and saying nothing, Chen Qingqing couldn't help but frown.

"Brother, what on earth are you worried about? Do you know that you were almost beaten to death by those people? Evil people are not scary. What is scary is not daring to resist. If you let them bully you in vain, you will live in the shadow of fear forever.

Do you know how serious it is to be branded as someone who provokes women? Your life will be completely ruined. You will always be judged by others. Even if you get married and have children in the future, if they ask you about it, how will you answer?

After he finished speaking, Chen Feng's face was full of anger. What did he do wrong? Just because he learned cooking skills, they wouldn't let him go. But he had already said that he would not open a store in Qingshui Town. Why didn't they believe him?

He clenched his fists and took a deep breath. "Little sister, you're right, but those people are in cahoots with each other and share the same bad taste. Wu Shiren has backers. Even if we go to them and ask for an explanation, they won't admit it."

"Brother, just tell me why they hit you. Leave the rest to me. I won't force myself on them."

"They knew I had learned cooking skills and were afraid of me. They were afraid that I would open a restaurant and take away their jobs..." Chen Feng recounted the entire incident.

Chen Qingqing was immediately enraged when she heard this. "These damn bastards must be punished. We must go to the county government and report them for framing me, forcing me to confess through torture, and for lynching me."

"Little sister, why don't we just forget it!" Chen Feng frowned and shook his head, "We don't have any evidence, and I'm afraid we won't win the case!"

Chen Qingqing knew that the chances of winning were slim, but if the matter was lightly revealed, it would only make Wu Shiren and others more and more arrogant. Even if she couldn't win the lawsuit, she had to let them know that they were not easy to mess with.

"Brother, when they resorted to lynching, did anyone else in the restaurant see it? Have you never had anyone you could confide in during your three years at the restaurant?"

"They gave everyone the day off that night, and the only ones left in the restaurant were the chefs who were close to Wu Shiren."

Chen Feng looked annoyed. "It's obvious that those people are working together to plot against me. I didn't even notice that. How stupid!"

Chen Qingqing comforted him, "Don't be afraid even if you don't have evidence. There will always be a way out. We must report it to the authorities and seek justice."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, brother." Chen Feng also made up his mind.

Early the next morning.

The family set off early.

Chen Qingqing planned to go to Qingshui Town first, and then hire a carriage to Anyang County.

She asked Chen Feng, Chen Zhanshan and Lin to wait at the town entrance. "Dad, Mom, I'm going to hire a carriage. You wait here for me."

"good."

Chen Qingqing didn't want Chen Feng to show up in Qingshui Town, so she specially brought him a bamboo hat.

In fact, hiring a carriage was just an excuse. She knew Wu Cuihua had a good impression of Chen Feng.

Since Wu Shiren didn't do anything, maybe she would testify for him...
