Chapter 225
Huang Baohua's family of four headed towards Zhongjiawan, banging and swearing loudly.
The crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger, forming a long queue behind.
Their eyes were full of gossip, their faces were full of excitement, and they were talking incessantly as they passed on their exclusive first-hand information in all directions.
"I know, I know. I've seen Huang Baohua's son-in-law. I heard he's a city boy whose parents are both officials."
"I've seen him too. He was wearing a watch and leather shoes, looking very impressive. Huang Baohua and Xie Dapeng were so proud of him."
"He always says that his daughter is promising. The young master of the official family in the city doesn't want many other girls in the city, but only likes his own daughter."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, bragging everywhere about how my in-laws are arranging a job for my son, and how my in-laws are interested in my best friend."
"He also said that he wanted to go to the city with his daughter and son-in-law to enjoy a good life, and that the whole family would eat rations from now on!"
"I didn't expect that this young man really doesn't like city girls. He only likes country girls, and he likes more than one, hehehe~"
"What do you mean by 'not liking'? That's not serious. If I were a serious person, why would he choose a girl from the mountains instead of an educated and cultured girl from the city?"
"What about the girl from Zhongjiawan?"
"What's going on? Didn't you hear the scolding from Huang Baohua's family?"
"Her beloved son-in-law had only been here for two days when he was seduced away by someone else."
"I heard that at the end of last month, he was hiding in the Niutoulin woods in front of the town entrance with that little girl from Zhongjiawan!"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't talk nonsense, that's not what I heard!"
"It was Huang Baohua's future son-in-law from the city. He was a hooligan to the girl from Zhongjiawan. He was the one who was almost beaten to death last time."
"Wang Mazi, didn't you come out to stop the fight? The security guards then threw rocks at him."
"Oh, I remember, I remember. That kid's howling scared me so much that I almost tripped over the threshold!"
"He got beaten up and his face is covered in blood from his nose! It's scary."
"Later I heard that even the county police were alarmed."
"Yes, yes, I saw it too. It seems that the one who beat the girl was a comrade from the security team. He said that he just happened to run into her and saved her."
"I heard she's going to be married next month, and her partner is a teacher at the town's elementary school!"
"You said it's the end of the world. When something like this happens, who can you turn to for justice? Isn't Huang Baohua's family forcing people to die by making such a fuss?"
"A girl like that, who can stand it? It's so embarrassing!"
"Come on, let's follow and take a look. Who knows what secrets there are that we don't know."
"Don't they say flies don't bite cracked eggs?"
"Why are there so many people in the town? Are they going to drag her into the woods?"
"Perhaps it was that girl from Zhongjiawan who behaved improperly and harmed the son-in-law of Huang Baohua's family."
"Look how angry Xie Dapeng's family is. I heard that their son-in-law was sent to a forest farm for education."
"The golden hen that lays eggs flew away in my hands. Tsk tsk tsk, if it were me, I would be furious too."
"You should be more polite with your words. People say flies can land anywhere..."
Lu Jingzhi was watering the flowers at the door. When he saw the crowd in front of him rushing towards his house, shouting and cursing, his pupils trembled. With trembling legs, he quickly stepped into the house and bolted the door.
Why is this happening? Didn't they say the witness's privacy would be protected? Didn't they say it wouldn't be made public?
This bad guy's punishment just came down, why...
Zhong Linfang listened to the faint noise outside, put down her needlework, and walked out.
"Grandma, what's all the noise outside?"
"What are you doing out here? Go in quickly, go in quickly."
"Bang, bang, bang~"
There was a violent knock on the door.
Each sound was like a slap on Lu Jingzhi's heart.
"What's that bitch's name? Zhong Linfang, right?"
"Zhong Linfang, you shameless little slut, come out here..."
Huang Baohua picked up a piece of rubble nearby and smashed it hard on the door with an angry look on her face.
"I let you seduce men and harm others..."
"How dare you do such a shameless thing? Why don't you come out? Now you know how to hide it~ Ugh~"
Huang Baohua's son Huang Hongjun was even more nonchalant, shouting in a sarcastic voice.
"Zhong Linfang, come on~ come out and have fun~"
"We are no worse than those city people~"
Inside the house, Lu Jingzhi held his pale granddaughter tightly in his arms, his face ashen.
Zhong Linfang huddled in her grandmother's arms, "Grandma, Grandma, she, they know~"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't listen to what they say, don't listen!"
Lu Jingzhi raised his hands tremblingly to cover his granddaughter's ears.
But the dirty words and sharp curses outside still pierced Zhong Linfang's mind like needles.
Even though they had considered the possibility of facing some damage from rumors and public opinion, they did not expect it to be so severe.
Zhong Linfang listened to the ugly shouting and cursing outside, and her blood boiled and she almost fainted on the spot.
She bit the tip of her tongue hard, regaining a bit of clarity.
"No, no, it's not like that..."
"They lied, woooo, grandma, they lied~"
“I didn’t, I didn’t…
Most of the members of Zhongjiawan who were at home came out to join in the fun.
Behind the Zhong family, the old lady who had a good relationship with Lu Jingzhi watched the farce outside and quickly waved and called out to her daughter-in-law.
"Cuihua, Cuihua."
"Your aunt Lu's family has no men, old or young, at home. Captain, hurry up and find the captain."
"This is too much! This is absolutely too much! Do you really think we in Zhongjiawan are easy to bully?"
"Is this the Xie family? They're taking advantage of their village and causing trouble in Zhongjiawan. Go find the team leader in the fields."
"Hey, Mom, I'll go right away."
The old lady looked at her daughter-in-law's big belly and said, "Be careful, be careful."
Huang Baohua knocked on the door for a long time. The bolt was locked from the inside, so she knew that the person was hiding inside and would not come out.
"Dapeng, come on, take down this door for me and drag that piece of junk out for everyone to see."
Zhong Linfang looked at the shaking wooden door and shouted in fear, "Grandma."
A fierce look flashed in Lu Jingzhi's eyes, and he quickly pushed his granddaughter into the inner room.
"You go in, and leave the rest to grandma."
After pushing Zhong Linfang into the inner room and closing the door, Lu Jingyi picked up the hatchet behind the door.
The bolt was pulled out with a swish.
Ouch~
Xie Dapeng, who was trying to lift the door, missed it and fell inside.
Before he could get up, a hatchet chopped down his neck.
“Ah~”
Xie Dapeng's pupils shrank and he subconsciously dodged backwards. The hatchet chopped down along his ear, brushing his forehead and sinking three feet deep into the muddy ground.
