"Have you heard? The three Gu brothers have been sentenced."

Suddenly, an older woman next to Lin Qing whispered to the woman next to her. Although it was a quiet chat, Lin Qing could hear it clearly even from across the ground.

"The verdict is in! What was the verdict? Tell us quickly."

After hearing what the older woman said, the aunt asked with a curious look.

"I was sent down to a farm for two years!"

The older woman said with a regretful expression.

How did you know?

The woman who asked the question seemed a little incredulous, and said with a hint of doubt.

"Hey, wasn't it my old man who went to see the captain yesterday? He overheard the police talking to the captain."

The woman said with a smug look on her face, as if she was superior to others because she knew the news in advance.

"If the police said it, then it must be true."

When the woman heard it was the police who said it, she slapped her thigh and exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course it's true! Would I tell you if the information wasn't accurate?"

The older woman said with a look of "I'm doing this for your own good."

"The three brothers of the Gu family are in for a lot of trouble now."

After hearing what the older woman said, the aunt next to her looked on with a sigh.

"Pah... They should have suffered a bit long ago."

"That's right. They've never done anything productive since they were little, so they should suffer a bit."

"It's worth it, who told them to do those heartless things!"

"That's right. They've always liked to bully Xiao Gu since he was little. Now, let's see how they bully him now."

"How could they possibly beat Xiao Gu! It was all because Old Gu and his wife took sides and wouldn't let Xiao Gu fight back, otherwise Xiao Gu would have beaten them up long ago."

While weeding, Lin Qing listened to the gossip of the older women next door. Their loud voices made it impossible for Lin Qing to hear anything.

Actually, Lin Qing already knew about this yesterday; the police personally came to Gu Nanxun's door yesterday to tell him about it.

Lin Qing was quite pleased with the punishment given to the three Gu brothers, but unfortunately, the punishment was a bit too lenient. Only two years; they should have been punished for ten or eight years to prevent them from coming back and causing trouble.

"Oh my god! I don't want to live anymore..."

Lin Qing was listening intently when she was suddenly startled by a heart-wrenching scream.

The crowd ran towards the sound and saw Wang Dahua sitting in the field with her hair disheveled and her face looking haggard, as if she had aged many years in an instant.

"God, you're leaving no way for people to live! What am I supposed to do?!"

"Captain, please save my son! They can't be sent to the countryside!"

Wang Dahua cried out to the brigade leader in a heart-wrenching manner.

"Wang Dahua, stop making trouble. This is the police's verdict, and no one can help you."

“My poor children! You only went to your younger brother’s house to take some things, what did you do wrong to deserve this treatment?”

Hearing what the brigade leader said, Wang Dahua cried even more bitterly.

Bah! They only went to their younger brother's house to take some things. Who is their younger brother? Even if they were related by blood, they would have severed ties. Wang Dahua is really shameless.

"Gu Tieniu, you heartless bastard! I raised you my whole life, and now you're so ungrateful, sending your own brother to the farm. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

Wang Dahua suddenly started cursing.

"You're the heartless one! Your whole Gu family has been sucking Gu Nanxun's blood all this time. After Gu Nanxun injured his leg, you didn't care if he lived or died and kicked him out of the house. He's already cut ties with you, and you still broke into his house and stole all his food. Did you ever think about his life or death? Now you're calling him heartless, but I think it's you bunch of bloodsuckers who are heartless! Don't your consciences hurt?"

Hearing Wang Dahua's loud curses, Lin Qing couldn't help but defend Gu Nanxun. He couldn't let everyone misunderstand Gu Nanxun; now it wasn't a matter of who was pitiful and who was right.

"You little bastard, what does this have to do with you? You're practically throwing yourself at him, are you that desperate for a man? Gu Tieniu is worse than a pig or a dog, he's an animal, a bastard, a short-lived scoundrel..."

"Slap... slap..."

Lin Qing originally didn't intend to stoop to Wang Dahua's level, but unexpectedly, Wang Dahua dared to curse Gu Nanxun for being short-lived, which undoubtedly hit Lin Qing's sore spot.

Lin Qing walked straight up, grabbed Wang Dahua's hair, and started slapping her repeatedly. Lin Qing's strength was quite heavy, and by the time everyone reacted, Wang Dahua's face was swollen like a pig's head. At the captain's shout, everyone quickly pulled Lin Qing back.

“Wang Dahua, if you dare to curse Gu Nanxun again, I’ll beat up your daughter too. Aren’t you afraid of being beaten? Then I’ll beat up your whole family.”

Seeing Lin Qing being pulled back by the crowd and still trying to pounce on her, Wang Dahua was so frightened that she didn't dare to utter a sound. She got up from the ground and ran home.

"Pah...you old coward."

Seeing Wang Dahua flee in terror, everyone scornfully remarked that the old man was a pathetic coward.

"Why are you back at this time?"

Seeing Wang Dahua run in from outside with disheveled hair, Gu Changhe frowned and said.

Ever since Gu Changhe became lame in his right leg, he has never gotten out of bed. He spends his days lying in bed either cursing or throwing things.

Upon hearing Gu Changhe's words, Wang Dahua's tears, which she had managed to hold back, flowed down her cheeks again.

"Old man, Tiedan, Gangdan and Tiezhu have been sent down to the farm. And that little bitch Lin Qing, she actually hit me."

Wang Dahua thought of her husband lying in bed, her three sons who had been sent to the farm, and how she, over fifty years old, still had to work in the fields to earn work points. In an instant, she felt utterly miserable.

It's all Gu Tieniu's fault, it's all that ingrate's fault. We raised him, and he doesn't even know how to be grateful. He even goes against us. All we did was separate him from us. All we did was take some of his food. How dare he treat our whole family like this? He's a heartless bastard.

"Didn't I tell you not to mess with Lin Qing anymore? Why did you mess with her? You can't beat her anyway."

Seeing Wang Dahua crying with tears and snot streaming down her face, Gu Changhe said with disdain.

“I didn’t provoke her, she provoked me. I just cursed Tie Niu a few times, and she started hitting me.”

Seeing that Gu Changhe also spoke of her in this way, Wang Dahua said aggrievedly.

"You should avoid provoking Gu Tieniu in the future. He no longer acknowledges us. Provoking him will not do us any good. Anyway, he is not our biological son, so let's just pretend we don't have this son!"

"Why should I? I raised him. He would have starved to death long ago without me."

Hearing Gu Changhe's words, Wang Dahua said with a dissatisfied expression.

"Shut up! Have you forgotten where he came from?"

"..."

“My elder brother Binzi wrote a letter; this is for you.”

In Beijing, the Chen family was sitting in their living room when Chen Bin's father suddenly walked in with a letter in his hand.
