"Now all of Mrs. Huang's children have arrived and are surrounding Widow Liu's house to demand an explanation!"
"Ah?" The four brothers of the Ye family were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.
I thought he was scolded to death before, and that he was just scolded too harshly. Who knew that someone actually died?
"Just wait and see, this matter is unlikely to end peacefully." Ye Dongkui shook his head and said, "Alright, you guys should hurry back and have dinner. You must be tired after the whole morning. Take my advice and stay away from this matter. Don't get involved!"
In fact, there was no need for Ye Dongkui to tell them, as the Ye family wanted to avoid them and didn't want to have anything to do with Widow Liu's family.
Today we still had lunch at Ye Juaner's house.
Such a big thing happened in the village that morning, so it naturally became a topic of conversation at every family’s lunch table.
"In the past, I've only heard of people being angered or scolded to death in operas, and I thought it was just an exaggeration. Who knew such things could really happen?" Liu Quan shook his head while eating.
Ye Juaner said: "Although I look down on Widow Liu, to be honest, Mrs. Tian is over eighty years old, and she will easily get into trouble if there is any disturbance.
"Widow Liu deserves it this time. Why did she have to go to her when there were so many people to go to?
"Now she's scolded me to death. Several people watched me do it. I can't deny it even if I want to."
"Just wait and see, this thing is going to get out of hand!" Liu Quan said, "If things go wrong, Widow Liu might end up in jail."
"Is it that serious? Will he go to jail?"
The Ye family was shocked when they heard this. After all, for ordinary people like them, any connection with the government was a big deal.
"Old Mrs. Tian's grandson is a constable in the county government office. They will definitely not let this go. Widow Liu will be skinned alive this time."
"Isn't Widow Liu's son-in-law the manager of the Qin family? Who is more powerful, him or the constable in the county government office?" Ye Laosi asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, Liu Quan immediately laughed and said, "Her son-in-law is probably useless."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room focused their attention on him.
"How do you know?" Ye Juan'er asked, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Think about it, at this time of year in previous years, Dafeng always brought several people back to help with the autumn harvest.
"Have you seen anyone this year? Widow Liu went out two days in a row to try to pay someone to help her harvest the crops.
"But what time is it now? It would be a miracle if we could even hire someone!"
"That doesn't mean her son-in-law is no good." Ye Juan'er said this, but she felt particularly relieved in her heart.
Widow Liu has been bullying the village for many years, relying on her son-in-law who works as a manager in the Qin Mansion. Even the village chief has to curry favor with her.
Now it's time for her to know what it means to suffer the consequences of her own actions.
However, these things were only discussed behind closed doors, and no one dared to get involved outside for fear of being implicated.
After lunch, Ye Xianglei said to Qingtian, "Let's go, I'll take you out to play!"
"Where are we going to play?" Qingtian still trusted Ye Xianglei very much, and was carried away by him obediently.
"I'll take you to see the fun!" Ye Xianglei carried Qingtian and went straight to Widow Liu's house. At this time, many villagers had gathered around to watch the fun.
Most of them came after lunch, and some even came with their bowls in hand, eating while watching the fun.
At this time, more than ten of Mrs. Tian's children and grandchildren had surrounded Widow Liu's house.
"Kill someone and you'll pay with your life!"
"Hand over the murderer now."
"A life for a life!"
"If you don't come out, we'll bang on the door!"
The door of Widow Liu's house was closed, and the whole family gathered on the kang in the east room.
Listening to the scolding outside, Jiang hugged Chunhua, who was trembling with fear, and huddled on the kang, not daring to speak.
Wang Dalong frowned and complained, "Mom, you are really something. You could scold anyone else, but you had to find such an old lady. Now that she's dead, how will this matter end?"
"How should I know!" Widow Liu felt that she was wronged to death, "If she hadn't ruined my reputation outside, would I have scolded her?
"If you hadn't believed the rumors outside and came back to argue with me, would I have been so angry and scolded her?
"Who would die from being scolded a few times? Who knows if there's something wrong with her?
"Now that someone's dead, you're blaming me for everything? Who can I go to for justice?"
"Several people in the village saw you scolding Mrs. Tian to death. What else can you say?" Wang Dalong was inconsolable. "Now our whole family is trapped at home, and the crops in the fields are waiting to be harvested!"
"Are you thinking about the crops now? Why didn't you know to harvest them before? Now you want to blame everything on me?" Widow Liu was extremely angry and reached out to grab the collar of her clothes. "How about you just make me die of anger, and then hand my body over to her family. I'll pay her back with my life, right?"
"I didn't say that!" Wang Dalong frowned and said, "I think we have to find a way to sneak out and go to Beijing to find Dafeng. I'm afraid we can't solve this problem on our own."
When Widow Liu thought about the incident when she was stopped by the doorman on her way to Qin's house, she felt a little uneasy.
Even if I can sneak out, I have to find Dafeng!
But it’s not a good idea to remain in this stalemate now.
"Why don't you go and discuss it with them? I'll ask you to go out and call Dafeng and his wife back. Then we can sit down and talk about what to do next!"
Widow Liu's words revealed a guilty conscience. Although she had been tough before, Mrs. Tian suddenly collapsed and died in front of her.
