Chapter 359: Hitting the Pillar

The next day, the group followed Li Erlang's donkey cart to the county government office. After the county government verified the information, Li Erlang handed a receipt to Li Wenjian and said, "Take this receipt and go to Xiuyun Cloth Shop to withdraw the money. I have official business to attend to, so I can't go with you!"

Li Wenjian gratefully accepted the receipt and said, "Thank you very much. We will go on our way!"

The three of them left the county government office and walked to Xiuyun Cloth Shop. Coincidentally, they met Li Wenjian's aunt in front of the shop.

Seeing the three people, the old woman excitedly came to Li Wenjian, grabbed his arm and asked anxiously: "I heard from the villagers that the county magistrate ordered Xiuyun Cloth Shop to pay compensation. Is this true?

The honest Li Wenjian didn't see what his aunt was thinking, and nodded immediately.

When the old woman heard that there was indeed compensation, she was overjoyed. She stepped forward and said to Chief Li, "Chief Li, please don't be offended. It's my great-aunt from the Chen family who has passed away. Shouldn't my family also receive a share of the compensation?"

The old woman felt regretful because her parents were no longer around. Otherwise, she would have felt more confident asking the Li family for some money.

She knew that she couldn't miss this opportunity. Her family had suffered from the snowstorm. If she could get some money back, her family would be better off!

Patriarch Li was very surprised when he heard this. The man had just been buried, and already his wife's family was thinking of paying compensation?

Seeing the three people standing there dumbfounded, not knowing how to respond, the old woman took advantage of the situation and started throwing a tantrum in the street. She cried loudly, "What's wrong with me asking for compensation? Why don't you say it was Li Youshou? If he hadn't bought this inferior cotton-padded jacket, would my daughter from the Chen family have died like this?"

This sentence was like a thorn, piercing Li Youshou's heart. He had indeed bought this cotton-padded jacket for his wife. If he had bought the cotton instead of this useless cotton-padded jacket, would his wife still be dead? Li Youshou was immersed in the feeling that it was all his fault.

He was completely deaf to the quarrels and discussions outside. He raised his cloudy eyes and looked at Xiuyun Cloth Shop in front of him. It was the cotton-padded clothes he bought from here that caused him to be separated from his wife!

Filled with accumulated remorse, Li Youshou no longer cared about anything else and quickly crashed into the stone pillar in front of the cloth shop. With a bang, Li Youshou's body slowly fell to the ground, as if he was determined to die. The old man used up all his strength in this collision.

This time he didn't have the good luck as last time, and blood was seen flowing down his forehead!

Screams and calls filled the entire street. Li Wenjian hurriedly picked up his father, who was barely breathing on the ground, and called out in pain.

On his deathbed, Li Youshou seemed to see his wife smiling at him in front of him. He only saw him weakly raising his left hand, as if trying to grab something, and muttering, "Old woman, wait..." Then the outstretched hand dropped down weakly!

Seeing this scene, the old woman was so scared that she stepped back repeatedly. She didn't bother to ask Li Wenjian for money anymore, and fled from the crowd in panic!

The noise outside startled Mr. Tang, who was checking the account books with the servants in the cloth shop, and the group hurried out of the cloth shop.

When Mr. Tang saw the shocking bloodstains on the stone pillar in front of the door and the old man lying in a pool of blood, he was so scared that he immediately ordered the old butler who was following him, "Go to the clinic and get a doctor!"

The Tang family is currently in the spotlight, so please don’t let anyone get killed!

Seeing this, one of the officers ran directly to the county government office, and the remaining officers pushed through the crowd and came to Li Youshou who was lying in a pool of blood. They reached out and checked the old man's breath.

Mr. Tang asked anxiously, "How?"

The officer then stood up and shook his head at Mr. Tang who was standing beside him: "I'm afraid it's more dangerous than good!"
