Chapter 69 Justice
November is not the busy farming season, and women in groups of three or four gathered under the big tree at the entrance of the village to talk.
After the family split up, Shen Xitang and the others moved into a new house.
Since other families had already been allocated houses, it was natural for their family to move into the last house at the entrance of the village, just in the two directions of Shen Jinan's house.
Li Ruqian rushed over in a rage, and everyone was a little surprised.
"Mother Hu Zi, what are you going to do in such a hurry?"
An aunt with half-white hair waved at her, motioning her to come over and talk.
I wanted to go directly to their homes to seek justice, looking at these aunts and elder sisters who took good care of me on a daily basis.
Li Ruqian's tone did not calm down either.
"It was my son Hu Zi who fell into the water. I thought he was just playing around and accidentally fell into the water. Who would have thought..."
She lowered her eyelids, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and said in a choked voice, "Who would have thought that Hu Zi was murdered!"
"Murdered?"
The aunt who was speaking stood up suddenly, hands on hips, "Who is so bold, Hu Zi's mother, don't be afraid, we will definitely seek justice for you!"
"We've been living in peace for so many years, why did problems suddenly arise? Are those outsiders the ones who came?"
"They are just bullying you orphans and widows who have no one to rely on. We in Chenjia Village will never let anyone bully us!"
Five or six women stood up and surrounded Li Ruqian, saying that they wanted to seek justice for her.
She turned her face away, her nose feeling sore. The aunts really had nothing to say to her.
Thanks to their help over the past few years.
"Aunts, thank you..." Li Ruqian looked at them with red eyes.
"Why are you saying that? We're all from the same village. Your man..."
Before she could finish her words, someone pulled her from behind, and the guarded expression on his face suddenly woke her up.
This was a topic that couldn't be brought up. Auntie slapped her own lips and said, "Look at me, let's talk about Hu Zi."
Li Ruqian's eyes darkened. How could she not know what was not said?
It’s just that the children are important now.
Looking at the door not far away, the hatred in her eyes was as real as substance: "That woman from that family made my Hu Zi suffer so much. Today, even if I risk my life, I will seek justice for Hu Zi."
"Let's go and ask for an explanation!"
When Shen Jinan arrived, she saw this excited scene, and she couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"Madam Li, I'll go with you."
Thinking of Hu Zi's appearance, her heart couldn't help but writhe in pain.
When she thought that Hu Zi might be implicated, she felt as if a huge stone was blocking her heart.
Except for Li Ruqian, everyone else looked at Shen Jinan with some hostility.
"She saved Hu Zi, which makes her different from other people." Li
Li Ruqian quickly tried to smooth things over and mediate, "Doctor Shen is a miracle doctor!"
Thinking back to the scene when the family was divided, it seemed that Doctor Shen was also tortured badly by those two vicious women.
The hostility gradually dissipated.
They walked towards Shen Xitang's house with a common hatred for the enemy.
Slamming the bowl of rice in her hand heavily on the table, Shen Xitang pouted and complained: "Why is it porridge again! There's not even a drop of oil or water!"
Knowing that Hu Zi was fine, Shen Xitang was unhappy with everything he did.
She could have pushed that little bastard over, but not only did she avoid it, but the little bastard was also safe and sound.
How could she swallow her anger that she hadn't taken revenge on anyone?
"If you don't want to eat, get out!" Minister Shen slammed the table, obviously a little angry.
"Just make do with what you have for now." Lin glared at Minister Shen, looking at Shen Xitang with a hint of meaning, "Do you think life is still the same as it was in the capital?"
This sentence left both of them speechless.
"Dad and Mom, how can you swallow Shen Jinan's anger after he treated you like this!" She slammed the table with a ferocious look on her face.
Shen Jinan stole the show last night. He was resurrected from the dead. How glorious!
What on earth does she, Shen Jinan, have the right to do this?
"What if you can't swallow it? Now that the family is divided, you should just be at peace!"
Minister Shen glared at her as a warning.
This daughter is becoming more and more troublesome. Every time Shen Xitang acts on her own, problems arise.
A little lack of patience will ruin a great plan. As a veteran in officialdom, he understands this principle.
“But…” Shen Xitang widened her eyes and wanted to continue arguing, but she heard a knock on the door.
"Who would knock on the door so early in the morning?"
Lin looked at the two of them in confusion. They had no acquaintances in the village at all.
"I'll go take a look first."
As soon as you open the door you'll know who it is.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, a pair of white hands reached in, grabbed her hair and pulled her out.
"You evil woman! You didn't even let the child go." Li Ruqian was heartbroken. When she looked past Lin and saw that they were having breakfast, the anger in her heart was instantly ignited.
Her tiger was still suffering, but these people were enjoying themselves quietly at home.
She is unwilling to accept it!
"Are you crazy?"
Lin couldn't break free, grimacing in pain, and waving her hands to try to grab her hair.
Two fists cannot beat four hands, not to mention that there are so many of them.
With those aunts holding her down, Lin was suppressed so tightly that no one could touch her at all.
"Someone come! Someone is killing people in broad daylight!"
Lin was in a bad situation, and when she saw that they were outnumbered, she started shouting at the top of her lungs.
"Mother!" Shen Xitang's eyes widened and she ran towards Lin.
When she heard Lin's shout, she realized something was wrong.
When he ran out, he found that Lin was being held down by several women, with scars all over her face and neck. He rushed forward with his fists clenched.
"Let my mother go!"
"Poisonous woman!"
"Bah! You're the ones who rush into other people's homes and commit murder! You're the ones who are vicious!"
The scene was in chaos, and Shen Jinan did not join the battle since he saw that they were not at a disadvantage.
Hearing a sound in the distance, she suddenly turned around and found that the village chief was rushing over with a group of people.
"What's going on?! How can you be so rude and pushy?"
Seeing several people fighting, the village chief frowned and raised his voice.
The aunts reluctantly let go of her hands, with an unsatisfied look on their faces.
The villagers usually get along harmoniously, so there is no such opportunity.
Lin and Shen Xitang had scars all over their faces and their hair was messy. When they saw the village chief, tears immediately came to their eyes.
"Village chief, these people broke into my house and committed a crime. You must punish them severely!"
Tears flowed across the wound, the pain made my scalp numb, and I grimaced and couldn't speak complete sentences.
"Alright! You dare to be the first to complain!"
One of the aunts kept pointing and cursing at them.
Looking again, Li Ruqian was already crying uncontrollably.
"Village chief, Hu Zi was pushed into the water by them." Her eyes were red and she gnashed her teeth in hatred. "Village chief, you also watched Hu Zi grow up. You must seek justice for him!"
The village chief was silent for a moment, and even the people behind him did not speak.
Hu Zi's father and Chen Nianheng were conscripted men together, and Hu Zi was born that year.
Corrupt officials were in power and embezzled food and military pay. Tens of thousands of soldiers were ambushed, and Chen Nianheng and Hu Zi's father Chen Ming disappeared.
