In Yijia Village, Xia Hongfen arrived early with her husband, son, and son-in-law, intending to have a fight at the Fan family's house to vent her anger for her niece.
They shouldn't bully people like that!
But even though they rushed, they were still too late; Xia Chunmei had already entered the city.
Xia Hongfen and her family had no choice but to wait for news in the village.
Finally, at the end of the 11 PM, Xia Chunmei and her group returned in high spirits.
Xia Hongfen quickly went to greet her: "Chunmei, how did it go? Did they sentence the Fan family?"
"The verdict was handed down. The family of three were first given a beating, then Fan Jiangshi was sentenced to a year in prison, and the kidnappers were sentenced to five months," Xia Chunmei said.
Xia Hongfen cursed, "You son of a bitch, you deserve it!"
“It’s too lenient for them to only have Fan Jiangshi go to jail,” Xia Qiang said.
"Fan Jiangshi took the blame alone, so she was sentenced to one year. Although Fan Mingli and his son Fan Baowen did not go to jail, they were flogged and their injuries will probably take at least half a month to heal. Moreover, Fan Baowen was expelled from the academy, his reputation was ruined, and he had no hope of getting married or taking the imperial examinations in the future."
Xia Hongfen: "With his character, he still wants to be an official? He can only dream about it."
"Mother, shall we still go and avenge Sister Chunmei?" Xiao Quanfu waved the stick in his hand, looking somewhat eager.
When Xia Hongfen returned home, she talked about what the Fan family had done to Xia Chunmei and her sister. Xiao Quanfu was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night.
Xia Chunmei smiled and said, "The Fan family has already received their due punishment, so there's no need to go. I guess they're busy dividing up the family property."
Xia Chunmei's prediction was correct; the Fan family is currently arguing about dividing their assets.
The news that Jiang Xiuying was imprisoned and that Fan Mingli and his son Fan Baowen were flogged had already spread throughout their village.
When the Fan family returned to the village, not wanting to be ostracized by the villagers, they said that it was all Jiang Xiuying's doing, and that Jiang Xiuying had now been divorced.
In short, the Fan family shifted all the blame onto Jiang Xiuying, portraying themselves as innocent victims caught in the crossfire.
After being released from the county jail, Fan Mingyi and his wife returned home and immediately started arguing about dividing their household property.
If they split up, they will become two separate families, which will have a much smaller impact on their branch of the family. Moreover, splitting up will not delay the children of the second branch from going to school.
Old Man Fan also took this into consideration, and decisively agreed to divide the family property, allocating all family resources to the second branch of the family.
"Dad, this is not fair!" Fan Mingli immediately protested.
Upon hearing this, Jin also lost her temper: "You still say it's unfair? How dare you say it's unfair? You've made us all lose face, and you still have the nerve to complain about unfairness?"
They claim to the public that Jiang Xiuying did it all by herself, but we all know perfectly well who actually did it!
For so many years, our family has tightened our belts to support Fan Baowen, and what has happened? After all these years of studying, he's still just a student at the lowest level, not to mention he's offended Xia Chunmei and even got his own mother imprisoned, ruining the reputation our Fan family has worked so hard to build. And you still complain about unfairness?
"Our Zhiwen will be studying in the future, so what's wrong with him getting a bigger share of the family fortune? When Fan Baowen was in school, all the family resources were tilted towards him, so why can't they be tilted towards my Zhiwen now? Let me tell you, this is only right and proper!"
Fan Mingli's face turned bright red, and he stared at Jin Shi, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Fan Baowen couldn't bear the shock and couldn't accept the fact, so he suffered a stroke and vomited blood.
Even so, it did not deter Fan Mingyi and his wife from their determination to separate their family property!
Ultimately, 80% of the Fan family's assets went to the second branch of the family, while the remaining 20% went to Fan Mingyi.
Fan Baowen never imagined that one day he would become an abandoned child in his family.
He lay on the bed, his hands clenched into fists, his heart filled with hatred, and he secretly vowed that he would not be a man if he did not avenge this!
