Chapter 33 Borrowing Money

Some of the young wives who felt the same way couldn't help but shed tears along with Wang Jinhua.

"Mother, mother!"

Chen Xiaohua stepped forward, hugged her mother, and the two of them cried together.

If the Chen family had been on edge before, they relaxed after confirming that Chen Dahua had not committed suicide, and now they couldn't help but feel grief.

"Since Chen Dahua was murdered, why don't we go and visit her husband's family?"

Without the Chen family even asking, the officials took the case much more seriously and offered their services.

Let's go.

Chen Tieniu helped Wang Jinhua up, and the couple, supporting each other, led the way in front of the crowd. Their backs were hunched, making them look ten years older in an instant.

Chen Xiaohua wiped her face with her sleeve, immediately stood up and followed.

The Ma family lived in the next village, not far from the grove. The group of people took a shortcut and headed straight for Chen Dahua's husband's house.

"Little sister, it's cold, and you're injured. Go home and ask your mother to make you some ginger water."

When Xiao Qi saw that Lin Yuesha also wanted to go, he hurriedly stopped her.

"I want to go and see."

With her throat injured, Lin Yuesha couldn't speak, so she could only gesture and make a movement to follow.

Now that things have come to this point, she really can't rest easy until the culprit is brought to justice!

Xiao Qi nodded helplessly. The little girl was young, but she was quite stubborn.

The brother and sister looked at each other in silence and followed the official's procession.

More than a year ago, Chen Dahua married into Majia Village. Her father-in-law was the clan chief of Majia Village, and her husband was the third son in his family, always referred to as Ma Laosan.

From afar, Lin Yuesha saw a grand courtyard with brick and tile roofs, making it one of the most prestigious houses in the surrounding villages.

"Officer, that courtyard belongs to the Ma family."

The clan chief's family did not divide the household; after his three sons got married, they all lived together.

The cold wind howled, and Wang Jinhua's face was almost chapped from the wind. She rubbed her face with her hands and choked out, "My husband didn't approve of this marriage. I was blinded by greed and fell for the Ma family's good social standing, which is why Dahua is in trouble!"

Marriage is a union between two families, and it's important to consider social standing and family background. Ma Laosan's father, Ma Youde, is the head of the Ma family, which owns hundreds of acres of land. Wang Jinhua only thought that if her daughter married into the family, she would have no worries about food and drink.

"well."

Chen Tieniu shook his head and sighed. There was no point in saying anything now. It would be better to go to the Ma family and demand an explanation.

"Don't go with so many people, it'll alert them."

The leading official dismissed the people of Chenjia Village and led only the Chen family members straight to the Ma family's residence.

Just as everyone arrived at the door, the Ma family's gate opened.

Ma Lao Er's wife, Jin, was carrying a small basket and was about to go out when she saw Chen Tie Niu and Wang Jin Hua in front of her. She immediately took a step back and slammed the courtyard gate shut.

"Father, Mother, the Chen family has come to our door to beg for our money!"

Jin had a loud voice, and her shout immediately alerted the neighbors. Lin Yuesha looked around and saw several more people peeking out.

"Trying to freeload?"

Chen Tieniu's frown could kill a fly. Although Da Hua married into the Ma family, in order to ensure his daughter's well-being, the Ma family gave her all the betrothal gifts she received and sent them back with her.

After Ma Laosan and Chen Dahua got married, Chen Tieniu was afraid of being gossiped about for taking advantage of the Ma family, so he almost never visited them.

This was the first time the Chen family had visited since their marriage. However, their daughter was no longer there.

With Jin's tip-off, Ma Youde, the head of the Ma family, quickly led a group of people out, including Ma Laosan, who had just gotten up.
