Now it was Dachuan's wife's turn to remain silent. After a long while, she slowly spoke, "Although I don't know what grudge you brothers and sisters have against the old village chief, so many years have passed, and we have all started our own families. It would be better for you not to get too caught up in the hatred."
Wuchuan remained silent, but Dachuan spoke first. "Wuchuan, I've thought about this for a long time. He's been gone for so many years, and I'm afraid it's going to be hard to avenge him. Besides, we're all in the village, and he's almost the director of the noodle factory. He'll only get better and better. Du Yingying has no room for maneuver, and Aunt Cui is watching closely. Is it still worth avenging him?"
Revenge? Wuchuan was a little confused. "Brother, I don't know. Our mother died tragically. She did nothing wrong, but because of a few words from that man, Aunt Cui labeled her a playboy. In a fit of rage, her already seriously ill body could not hold on any longer and she vomited blood and died."
As Wuchuan spoke, the original scene reappeared in front of the brothers' eyes, and they all fell silent.
Seeing this, the sisters-in-law didn't know how to persuade them and could only look at the siblings in silence.
After a while, Wuchuan slowly put down his chopsticks and said, "Brother, don't get involved in revenge. My life is already like this, and it can't get any worse. I can't let go of revenge. I will handle the future myself. You just live your own lives."
Okawa: "Five Rivers"
Erchuan: "Five Rivers"
Sanchuan: "Five Rivers"
Sichuan: "Five Rivers"
Facing the shouts of his brothers, Wuchuan waved his hands nonchalantly. "We can't let our whole family get stuck in this mess. Brothers, just live your own lives. To be honest, there's no evidence in this matter, so we can only settle it privately. I just can't accept that our mother didn't do anything, but she was forced to death just because of a few words from that person. I can't accept that, and I will never let them go."
Seeing that persuasion was unsuccessful, the brothers had to give up, and the sisters-in-law also changed the subject, but Wuchuan was not interested from beginning to end, and seeing this, everyone didn't know what to say.
After dinner, Wuchuan didn’t stay long. He helped wash the dishes and left.
Looking at Wuchuan's back, Dachuan's wife sighed, "This girl has gotten herself into a dead end. I don't know if she can get out of it."
"She's always been stubborn since she was little, and she was tricked by Zuo Qingfeng back then." Dachuan was filled with regret when he talked about this. "Do you think Wuchuan's life would be better now if I hadn't allowed them to get married?"
Dachuan's wife shook her head at this. "It's useless. Zuo Qingfeng was so arrogant back then that the whole village was full of rumors. What's more, Aunt Cui's words about the daughter being Xiao's mother crushed Wuchuan. I'm afraid it won't work if we don't get married."
Hearing this, Dachuan's face was filled with hatred. "That man's mind is extremely vicious. He is determined to trample Wuchuan into the mud. If the village chief hadn't been replaced later, I'm afraid Wuchuan would have been sent to repair the riverbank."
Speaking of this, Dachuan's wife's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly pulled Dachuan back to the house and whispered, "Dachuan, Wuchuan is really your sister."
As soon as the voice fell, Dachuan's wife received Dachuan's disdainful look, "I'm nothing, my sister can admit her mistake, Wuchuan is my biological sister, it's that woman who made the difference, and always thought that Wuchuan had a relationship with the other party."
"Also, if Wuchuan is really related to that bastard, he can't bear to see Wuchuan suffer. He values bloodline the most, regardless of gender." Dachuanduo still admired the old village chief for this point. "There are so many families in the village who value sons over daughters, and there are so many corpses of infant girls in the ravines behind the mountain, but his family is the only one in the town who can do this."
"That's true," Okawa's wife sighed. "Then what do you think Aunt Cui is thinking? She's only targeting Wuchuan Yi among you brothers and sisters. If there's a grudge, shouldn't she target you all together?"
Dachuan's wife's words woke him up. The two looked at each other and stood up to walk out. Dachuan seemed to have thought of something. Shenqi muttered to his wife uncertainly, "There were rumors back then that Wuchuan wasn't my father's child, otherwise Aunt Cui wouldn't have been targeting him so much. But some people say the rumors aren't true, otherwise the old village chief wouldn't have watched Wuchuan suffer. Maybe Aunt Cui was just overthinking it."
This was the first time Dachuan's wife heard about this. She immediately stopped where she was and looked at Dachuan in disbelief. "Why are you telling me this now? Is it true or not?"
"That's impossible," Dachuan shrugged, motioning her to keep going. "If that were true, my uncles wouldn't just sit there and watch. Even though they haven't taken care of us siblings for so many years, when we were little, Aunt Cui pushed us too hard and did intervene."
"Is that so? Does Wuchuan know about this?" Okawa's wife asked the other person involved in the topic.
"Wuchuan knows about this. She had a fight with Du Yingying when she was little because of these rumors. Aunt Cui hated Wuchuan even more. She didn't even look at her with a friendly face when she was a child." Dachuan's face was not very good when Aunt Cui was mentioned, and there was a hint of disgust. "If it weren't for my uncle and the others pulling us back, we would have come to her house to make a scene. But then an uncle from our family became a scorekeeper, and the matter was dropped."
At this time, Dachuan's wife finally figured out what the so-called family feud between the two families was. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. It turned out that this family feud was related to her deceased mother-in-law. After all, it was related to the ancestors. Dachuan's wife could only follow Dachuan silently to the Wuchuan family.
When they arrived at Wuchuan's house, Okawa and his wife were not surprised to hear fighting and wailing inside. They looked at each other and Okawa went forward and knocked on the door.
It took a while for Wuchuan to finally come and open the door. Seeing the new redness and swelling on Wuchuan's jaw, Dachuan and Dachuan's wife frowned.
Dachuan walked into the house unhappily, "You hit him again. Isn't his leg paralyzed? Or was it you who started it first?"
Wuchuan said nothing, but touched his aching jaw and turned to go back into the house. The house was already in a mess. Zuo Qingfeng was leaning against the wall, panting and leaning against a stick to rest. Looking at Zuo Qingfeng's red and swollen face and the disheveled appearance, Dachuan knew without asking that Wuchuan had won the fight. He immediately lost interest and waved at Zuo Qingfeng, "Go back to the house first. Wuchuan and I have something to talk about."
Zuo Qingfeng glanced at him without saying a word. He just exerted a little strength with his hands, struggled to stand up with the help of the stick, and limped towards the door.
Dachuan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Zuo Qingfeng's back. Judging from the direction he was moving, it seemed to be the kitchen in the courtyard. He immediately looked at Wuchuan with questioning eyes, "Did you chase him to the kitchen?"
