Chapter 55: Xuejia Village's Eternal Infamy
Xue Shengli was a coward who had been idle in the village. He was thirty years old and still couldn't find a wife. He spent a lot of money to hire a matchmaker who deceived and cheated her out of the house, but he didn't cherish her and would beat and scold her at the slightest provocation.
This time he beat her severely, but she showed no remorse at all. She even wanted to send the man away so that he wouldn't die in his house.
Even when someone from the Lu family came, she did not truly repent. When she saw Lu Ping appear in the courtroom, Xue Shengli even cursed at her loudly, trying to scare her into withdrawing the lawsuit.
He has a bit of a macho mentality.
Now he has been sentenced to twenty years. I feel stupid. Life is so short. He will be an old man when he is released in twenty years.
Terror and fear consumed him all at once.
After the verdict was announced, he burst into tears in court. Since it was a matter that affected him, he finally felt the pain and regret.
The court opened the door, and everyone in Xuejia Village rushed to Lu Ping's side, morally blackmailing her into forgiveness.
Village Chief Xue said to Lu Ping, "I shouldn't have married you in the first place. I didn't expect you to be so cruel."
"Even if he's not doing well for a thousand days, there will be a day when he'll be better. How could you lock up the child's biological father?"
Lu Xiang rushed in to protect Sister Lu and said, "Don't tell us this. He was the one who hit people first. He hit people so many times before. Have you tried to persuade Xue Shengli? Now that he's crying out in anger, it's too late."
Second Sister Lu said, "Get away from me! I'm sickened by what you're doing. You're the village chief, but you can't even tell right from wrong. And you, at your age, if your own daughter were being tortured like this, would you say such things? Don't act so high and mighty in front of me."
Second sister Lu spent the most time with eldest sister Lu, and she cried several times when the doctor gave the diagnosis.
The Xue family still dares to cry out for injustice, which really proves the saying that if a person has no shame, he is invincible.
Second Sister Lu said, "You old ones, young ones, you always bully my sister like this. If you dare to take another step forward today, I'll scratch you and you're done for."
The village chief of the Xue family, Uncle Xue, and even Uncle Xue Six all regarded the Lu family as their enemy. After losing the trial, they still wanted to step forward. This was too bullying.
Lu Erjie scolded them harshly.
"Is this your quality?" Village chief Xue was a respectable man in the village, and this was the first time he was scolded by someone.
The sound of anger was shaking.
Lu Xiang won the case. Not only was a verdict announced, but Xue Shengli was also charged with murder, contempt of court, and openly insulting the plaintiff. He was sentenced to twenty years in prison and the couple was divorced, with their daughter staying with her mother.
Now that we have won the lawsuit, looking at the people in Xuejia Village again, we feel that no matter how much they jump around, they are just like grasshoppers in autumn.
Xue Shengli was going too far, and Lu Erjie started to roll up her sleeves. Her pointed nails were frightening to look at.
Lu Xiang supported Lu Erjie and said, "If you had any manners, how could a murderer appear in this village? You're all blind and still protecting that bastard Xue Shengli. Your eyes are no more useful than those glass balls."
Uncle Xue Liu was so angry that his chest heaved up and down, as if he was about to vomit blood.
Lu Xiang looked at Xue Shengli, who was still crying. She walked over and said, "You beast, you're scared now, aren't you?"
This kind of selfish person will not reflect on himself unless the knife stabs him.
Xue Shengli looked at Lu Xiang, speechless with rage. His inner violence was aroused, and he wanted to hit her. But he was handcuffed, and surrounded by a swarm of police officers. How could he allow a criminal to hurt anyone?
The police officer used an electric shock to hit Xue Shengli, causing blood to flow from his nose.
The person was then sent away.
After the trial, the Xue family looked dejected.
Even Uncle Xue blamed Xue Shengli: "You're crazy. You've pushed an honest man to the limit." He refused to accept pre-court mediation and was about to be sent to jail, yet he still dared to threaten Lu Ping in court.
This kind of idiot deserves to be locked up.
Village Chief Xue spent a lot of money to hire a lawyer, but the result was this. Village Chief Xue was furious: "Don't even think about moving Lu Ping's household registration."
As long as your household registration is not moved, you need a certificate from the village to do anything.
This one thing alone is enough to disgust her to death. Since Lu Ping is so unkind, don't blame him for being ruthless.
The Lu family didn't expect that even after winning the lawsuit, they would still be strangled.
They are all honest people. If the village does not release their household registration, Lu Ping will have no way to go anywhere else.
Lu Xiang said, "No need to beg them." She already had an idea in mind: "If you don't accept my offer, you'll have to pay me back. Just wait. In less than two days, they'll take the initiative to send the household registration over."
…
Two days passed, and Village Chief Xue was thinking about how to torture them when people came.
If she, Lu Ping, has the guts, she and her children will be illegal immigrants for the rest of their lives. They won’t be able to go to school or buy a house unless the village helps them.
After a while, a commotion was heard.
Village Chief Xue became alert and asked, "Is it the Lu family?" He hurried out with the village party secretary. It turned out that the Wang family was engaged to a girl from the county, and they had asked the matchmaker to bring back the betrothal gifts.
Everyone in the village knew about the Wang family's marriage to the county magistrate. After the two families got engaged, the Wang family gave three major gifts: a bicycle, a sewing machine, and a semiconductor.
The Wang family members walked with such confidence, yet they were rejected for engagement.
The Wang family members grabbed the matchmaker and were anxious: "The date has been set, and I have already told all the relatives, how can you cancel the engagement just like that?"
The matchmaker said, "You don't know yet, but Lu Ping's story was in the newspaper. They said your village ganged up on someone and bullied him. First, they beat him half to death, and then they finally won the lawsuit, but they still won't give him a household registration."
As soon as the news came out, the whole county knew that there was a Xuejia Village.
Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. Everyone knows that the clans in the countryside are powerful. What good girl would marry into such an ungrateful place? They quickly broke off the engagement.
The village chief turned pale when he heard this.
The matchmaker also said: "It's not just this family, there are many families who want to cancel the engagement. The word has been spread outside: no more matchmakers who mention Xuejia Village. Whether it's marrying a girl or marrying a wife, if they hear that it's from Xuejia Village, they won't accept any of them!"
The village chief was suddenly anxious. This was terrible. This was going to wipe out their village.
The Xue family was a prominent family in their village, with over a hundred households all closely related. There were only a few households with outsiders. If they weren't allowed to marry outside their families, they would all be close relatives!
"Village Chief, what should we do?"
There were only two kinds of people in the village who could not be offended: the doctor and the matchmaker. Now that their village was on the matchmaker's blacklist, everything was over.
When the whole village heard about this, young and old started to speak well of the matchmaker. The matchmaker said, "What does it have to do with me? If you want to blame someone, blame Xue Shengli. He's so hard to find a partner, and I found him one, but he doesn't cherish it. It's even ruined my reputation."
The matchmaker, not afraid of trouble, said, "You're even holding someone's household registration hostage. What are you thinking? You're so mean, no wonder no one wants to marry you!"
After saying that, he twisted his fat waist and walked away.
The village chief's eyes went dark. He was going to become the eternal sinner of Xuejia Village.
