Chapter 020: As a young man who was beaten by the society for several years

The yard was full of people, including the clan leader and his wife, neighbors, and several elders of the Xie family.

As soon as Chen Heng, Xie Jian, and Xia Shi came out dressed, clan leader Xie Changgen pointed at the unconscious Li Sheng on the ground and shouted angrily: "Xie Jian, how could you beat him like this?"

The clan leader's wife, Li, who was taking care of Li Sheng, burst into tears. "This family is so cruel! My nephew has no grudge against them, yet they're so brutal! Clan members, please do me a favor! My eldest brother is the only one left. If anything happens to him in the Xie family, how will I explain it to him?"

"Cousin, the doctor will be here soon. You must hold on." Li Dou said this to his cousin with a heartbroken look on his face. He stood up and glared at Xie Jian and the other two angrily. "You have done such a cruel thing to my cousin. My Li family will never forgive you."

The Li family? Chen Heng sneered inwardly. The Li family were all individual investors, and none of them liked these two thugs. There were only a few respectable families in Nanming County. Families striving for the top would only draw a clear line between themselves and the thugs.

Xie Jian's face was gloomy, his lips were pursed, his cheeks were tense, and he looked at everyone in front of him with hatred, seeing the indifference and disgust in their eyes, as well as the whispers and pointing fingers at his family.

Seeing that Ajian remained silent, Xia's anxiety subsided. Min'er was so young, and her sister-in-law was not capable of doing anything. She had to step forward, but her mind was in a mess at the moment, and her body was still shaking with fear. She didn't know what to do in this situation. "It was Li Sheng, it was Li Sheng who stole it. He sneaked in and tried to molest me, so we beat him."

"Nonsense." Li Douqian walked up to Xia and glanced at the three people in front of him who were much shorter than him. His eyes fell fiercely on Xia. "My cousin may be a bit of a jerk, but he's definitely not like that. Besides, who would want to touch a hapless widow like you? Do you think you're such a beauty?"

Xia's eyes were red and her voice was trembling: "I, I am telling the truth. It was really Li Sheng who wanted to do this to me, to me... I am telling the truth."

"Bullshit. Xia, I advise you not to lie so recklessly, or I'll take you before the officials and you'll end up in disgrace." He then glanced pointedly at little Xie Min, who was holding her waist and looking at him fearfully. "Then, none of your descendants will be able to hold their heads up high."

Xia twisted the corner of her clothes tightly with one hand and protected her son tightly with the other hand. She really didn't dare to say a word.

At this moment, Xie Jian's eyes swept over the hook knife outside the woodshed. As the murderous intent in his eyes became more and more intense, the figure standing next to him suddenly pushed Li Dou away.

Li Dou was pushed to the ground without noticing. His face instantly turned fierce. How dare Shen Heng push him? He stood up to teach this woman a lesson, but was held back by the crowd.

Shen Heng protected Xia behind her, and naturally saw the fierce look on Li Dou's face. Was she afraid? She was. But when it was time to strike, it was time to strike. Fear was a matter for the future. She looked at Li Dou coldly, "You talk too much nonsense." She swept her eyes over the crowd and shouted, "Are you blind? Where is this? This is my house. It's the middle of the night, and Li Sheng is here. Is it because we invited him for drinks? This is trespassing. Beating him half to death is too good for him."

"No matter what the reason, you shouldn't beat people like this." Clan leader Xie Changgen scolded.

"He's breaking into the house and committing a crime, and you want us to do nothing? Clan leader, you must be responsible for your words. Don't lose sight of right and wrong when it's not your own business."

"How dare you talk to me like that?"

"Why not?" Chen Heng snarled, "Li Sheng sneaked into my house to steal, and not only did he commit indecent assault, he also committed violence. He deserves to be beaten to death. Just because he's related to the clan leader, does he want to be an accomplice?"

"I support what is right, not my relatives." With so many tribesmen here, Xie Changgen naturally wants to establish his authority.
