Jiang Bai was unaware of what happened after he left.
The fact that Jiang Songzong had been rescued went unnoticed.
But after being tortured, he was rescued, but he was barely breathing.
If Jiang Bai were here, he would find that the people who rescued him were very familiar; they were the same generation of Jiang Bai from Jiangjia Village.
They had no money; they were lucky to even manage to rescue him, let alone treat his injuries.
After discussing it, the young men decided to carry the person back to the village.
"Chieftain, Chieftain."
Several young men carried the person and ran all the way to the clan chief's house.
The clan chief was leading his men all over the mountain searching for a place to dig a well, and he was extremely busy. When he heard that the young men in the village had brought Jiang Songzong back, he had no choice but to put aside the well-digging business and return to the village to deal with Jiang Songzong's affairs.
"Hiss... What's going on?"
Jiang Songzong was barely clinging to life, his face deathly pale.
Er Mao went with a few other people from the village. He whispered something in the clan chief's ear, and the clan chief's expression went from surprise to shock to disbelief.
That's it.
After saying that, Er Mao stepped back.
"Seventh Master and the others were taken away by that broker. We were afraid someone would die, so we rescued Zong-ge'er first."
What's the point of taking it back?
Should we just snatch it back and wait to die?
The clan chief, his face expressionless, lifted the garment covering his body and glanced at it. In that single glance, he felt as if his eyes were about to go blind.
It's been through so much damage that there's hardly any good flesh left on its body.
"I understand. Go and inquire again to see where all the women in the seventh brother's family are."
He was the patriarch of the entire Jiang family. Although he deeply resented Jiang Songzong and Jiang Minchang for their disgraceful actions, they were still his own brothers, nephews, and grand-nephews. How could he stand by and watch them be sold to a bad place?
Thinking that I could help if I could, I decided to lend a hand.
Er Mao and the others left again.
The clan chief then gave Jiang Songzong some topical medicine to apply first, and then pointed to his grandson to go to the county to fetch a doctor.
This round trip takes more than two hours.
Taking advantage of this moment, the clan chief summoned the village head and the clan elders.
The village head and elders were shocked to see Jiang Songzong's miserable state.
"Zong-ge'er is wrong, but didn't Daya go too far?"
“I originally wanted to say that what Lao Qi and his wife did was wrong, but the country has its laws and the clan has its rules. She was wrong to sell people off without permission, and now she is doing this to Zong Ge’er. She is deliberately trying to kill him.”
The elders frowned, their faces showing disapproval.
They were all children they had watched grow up, and they had even received an education. They were once considered the hope of the clan, but now all that's left is a pile of rotten flesh. In his current state, let alone being able to be cured, even if he were cured, he would be a cripple.
They could understand Jiang Bai's hatred, but they could not accept that he would resort to such methods.
"This child is far too vengeful."
“Minhe, Daya and her siblings are probably no longer suitable to stay in the village.” Among the clan elders, Jiang Taihe was the most senior, and only he could address the clan chief by his name.
Jiang Songzong's fate instilled fear in them.
If she can be so ruthless to her own blood relatives, wouldn't the villagers suffer even worse fates if they ever offended her?
It is said that one feels sorrow for one's own kind.
Jiang Minchang and the others did something wrong, and she could have just sold them off, but to go and torture them to death after selling them off was going too far.
"Fifth Uncle, those girls are still children."
The clan chief also disagreed with Jiang Bai's methods of revenge, but in this day and age, how would Jiang Bai and his siblings survive if they left the village?
"She's already married, so she's not a child anymore."
"What about the grain that was handed over to the clan granary?"
Jiang Bai took in sons-in-law, and 90% of the grain was handed over to the clan granary. If they were to be driven out, this grain would naturally have to be returned to them.
The elders fell silent.
"Haven't they found a place to dig a well yet?"
Jiang Taihe asked.
The clan chief gave a wry smile.
"You know, it only rained in the Pingshan area at the time. The next few times it rained, it was just a light drizzle. The plants on the mountain seemed to have come back to life, but in reality, we still didn't have a trace of the source of our water."
"The location is not easy to find."
"We did find a spot a few days ago, but after digging a bit down, we didn't find any water."
"We were searching for them on the mountain today when this happened."
The atmosphere inside the room fell silent for a moment.
"Even if we don't drive them out, we must not associate with them anymore."
“Awen is in this situation now. Although only a few of us old guys know about it, if he plays with the village children, sooner or later people will notice his abnormality.”
"Let's change the route! Separate the area around Anliang's family."
“Didn’t Anhe say earlier that the girl wanted to buy fifty acres of wasteland? Arrange for the villagers to swap their land with theirs, and set aside the area where they live, so that the villagers can avoid going there as much as possible.”
Jiang Taihe thought about it carefully and realized that kicking the person out was indeed not a good idea.
However, given Jiang Bai's vengeful nature, if she is allowed to continue associating with the villagers, there is no guarantee that she won't offend them one day, and she might end up like Jiang Songzong.
Li Zheng was just a junior among this group of people, so it wasn't that exaggerated for him.
Jiang Bai seems to be a pretty good kid.
