Chapter 100 Understanding and Reasonable
Zhou Yangyu blushed deeply, tears welling up in her eyes.
She suddenly clutched her head and ran desperately toward the dilapidated house.
I've completely lost face tonight!
The whole village saw it; how can I face anyone after this?
She was already a widow, and now she's caused such a scandal.
From now on, I'm afraid I'll have to be careful even when I'm walking.
Yang Zhi strode up to Lu Jianguo and asked coldly.
"Tell me, what are you doing here? In the middle of the night, tied up at the village entrance with a widow, what kind of behavior is this?"
Lu Jianguo gritted his teeth and retorted fiercely.
"If I knew how I got here, I would have killed the people who kidnapped me! Would I be sitting here letting you all watch?"
There wasn't a single part of his body that felt comfortable.
Who could hate him so much that they would resort to such despicable means to bring him here?
They were even tied together with Zhou Yangyu, putting on an ugly display of adultery.
Judging from the way Shen Cuifen had attacked him like a madwoman just now, it was clearly not her who did it.
He's been well-behaved all these years, so when did he offend such a ruthless enemy?
After much deliberation, he concluded that the most likely culprit was the Zhu family.
They had been eyeing Zhou Yangyu's land and old courtyard.
Once Zhou Yangyu is caught having a secret rendezvous with a man.
If their reputation is ruined, they won't be able to keep their land, and in the end, the Zhu family will be the only ones who benefit.
The problem is, his mind is blank; his memory stops after he drank last night.
There were no clues left on him, and nothing could be found.
"You still dare to speak so recklessly in front of the police? Do you want to spend a couple of days in jail?"
Yang Zhi's tone became even harsher, and he kicked him hard in the buttocks.
Lu Jianguo cried out "Ouch!" as he was kicked.
This startled Yang Zhi.
I didn't use much force when I kicked him just now, so why are you yelling like someone's going to die?
Actually, he didn't kick that hard, but he just happened to step on Lu Jianguo's old injury.
Old wounds met with new strength, and Lu Jianguo curled up on the ground in pain.
Yang Zhi then asked Zhou Yangyu, but she just kept crying and didn't know anything.
He went door to door again to inquire, but to no avail.
Nobody saw how they got tied up there.
With no evidence, no case details, and no deaths, this absurd situation sounds like a joke.
The police ultimately had no choice but to shelve the case due to "lack of grounds for filing a case."
However, Lu Guizhen had a general idea of what was going on, and she sneered with narrowed eyes.
She felt that this matter was most likely related to Shen Cuifen.
Although she beat Lu Jianguo very badly back then, it could have been an act.
Moreover, she had long resented that Zhou Yangyu was doing better than her.
Last night, she saw with her own eyes Shen Cuifen pushing a cart out the door.
She wondered where she was going to push a cart so late at night.
Later, she quietly crept over from behind her own courtyard wall to peek inside.
I saw Shen Cuifen pressing something down on the car floor.
She thought to herself that they probably took the person to that wasteland, otherwise why would they bother with this in the middle of the night?
That evening, some members of the Zhu family in the village also came to watch the excitement.
I came to see what was going on because I heard that "the Shen family is causing trouble".
Just then, I saw Zhou Yangyu being pulled out.
He gasped in shock, thinking that someone might actually die!
Not daring to ask any more questions, he turned and ran home.
Finally, Zhu Jia Zhou Yangyu's sister-in-law arrived, carrying an old cotton-padded coat, and rushed into the Shen family's courtyard.
She walked up to Zhou Yangyu and gently draped the coat over her shoulders.
"Let's go, stop making a fool of ourselves here."
They practically dragged and supported her as they led her out of the Shen family's gate.
She didn't come to save people out of kindness.
They were simply afraid that things would escalate too much and the Zhu family would lose face.
She didn't say a single word to Zhou Yangyu the whole way.
Zhou Yangyu knew in her heart that once she went back, she would probably be met with a barrage of scolding and reprimands from her entire family.
She walked with her head down, as if her soul had been ripped away.
Yang Zhi originally thought that a real murder had occurred tonight.
But now, upon hearing this, it turns out that the dispute arose because the couple was caught cheating.
What was even more unexpected was that the two also agreed to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to complete the divorce procedures.
Since the parties involved had reached an agreement, he felt there was no need to continue dragging things out.
"Everyone, disperse!"
Yang Zhichao waved to the villagers who were watching.
He then looked at the Shen family.
The three men in the Shen family, including Shen Xuelin, were all tall.
Just by standing there, he naturally exudes an imposing aura.
Especially Shen Xuelin, who is in his fifties but still stands very straight.
In contrast, Lu Jianguo's eyes darted around, avoiding eye contact with anyone.
"Although this is a family matter, I still want to say something."
Yang Zhiqing cleared his throat, his tone becoming serious.
"Don't let anyone die! If something really happens, I'll have to make the trip! Not only will you suffer, but I'll also be implicated!"
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Shen Xuelin.
Shen Xuelin smiled broadly and grabbed Yang Zhi's hand.
"Don't worry, comrade! We know what we're doing and we're on the right track!"
"We'll see."
He released his grip and took a half-step back.
"They're getting a divorce tomorrow. Once the paperwork is done, they'll go their separate ways. We don't need to get our hands dirty for an outsider."
Yang Zhi nodded. Outsiders can't interfere too much in these kinds of family conflicts.
"Then we're off. If you need anything else, just come find us in town. Don't try to do it yourself; if something goes wrong, no one can cover for you!"
When Yang Juanhua heard that the police were leaving, she panicked.
He rushed forward and grabbed Yang Zhi's wrist.
"Comrades, you can't leave! If you leave, my son will be beaten to death!"
Her voice was trembling with sobs, and her face was filled with fear.
She knew perfectly well that if Lu Jianguo were caught cheating by his father-in-law Shen Xuelin and his two brothers-in-law, it would be an utter disgrace!
None of the men in the Shen family are kind-hearted.
How can we let them off so easily?
He was already covered in wounds.
If he gets another severe beating, he might really lose his life.
Even if she can't be killed, she still has herself to rely on!
She trembled at the thought.
Song Qiaoying is known for her fiery temper.
"Hey, old lady, let's talk this out, don't resort to violence!"
Yang Zhi frowned, and his tone immediately became stern.
"If you keep doing this, I'll have to take you away for obstructing official business!"
But Yang Juanhua refused to let go, and kept muttering to herself.
"Comrade, please, you can't leave... If anything happens to my son, I won't live anymore..."
Her hands were shaking violently.
In the end, Song Qiaoying gave her two daughters-in-law a look.
The two daughters-in-law understood each other perfectly; one grabbed Yang Juanhua's arm from the left, and the other hugged her waist from the right.
They forcibly pulled her away from Yang Zhi and moved her aside.
Yang Juanhua struggled, still shouting.
"Let me go! I need to see my son!"
Just as Yang Juanhua opened her mouth to shout, Shen Cuifen's sister-in-law quickly covered her mouth.
Yang Juanhua's eyes widened, and she could only make muffled "woo-woo" sounds.
Yang Zhi glanced at it, pretending not to see anything.
"Comrade, don't listen to that old lady's nonsense. We, the Shen family, are the most reasonable people. Don't worry, we won't lay a hand on her."
Shen Xuelin stood in front of the crowd, appearing reasonable and understanding.
