Chapter 36 Slapping the Real Daughter in the Face 36

Jiang Lan can understand Zhang Ergui's worry, but she is not a good kid, she is very frank.

"I won't run away, I can't just sit back and watch this matter."

"This is not your business, you are just a child, how can you manage this matter? Listen to your father and go back quickly." Zhang Ergui became more and more afraid, fearing that the child's sense of justice would get the better of him and do something he would regret. "My daughter, don't be stubborn, your parents know about your filial piety, you should go back quickly, go back and study hard, you still have a long life ahead of you."

"Dad, don't worry, I won't be aggressive. Don't be nervous, with my strength, if we really fight, I am not sure I will lose." Jiang Lan still said it in a low profile, if it really comes to fighting value, the victory is definitely a sure thing.

Zhang Ergui didn't agree with Jiang Lan's confidence at all.

"You are stupid, two fists can't beat four hands. You are a little stronger, but there will always be a time when you run out of strength." Zhang Ergui had a headache. He used to think that the daughter was quite sensible and worry-free, but he didn't expect that when she was ignorant, she was so... He didn't know what words to use to describe her for a while.

If Zhang Ergui knew the word "middle school", he would definitely find more inspiration.

Zhang Ergui was unexpectedly insistent on Jiang Lan's return to the Jiang family. Seeing that he was about to take action to force him to leave, Jiang Lan had to threaten him: "Dad, you know you can't stop me. I am younger than you, stronger than you, and more flexible than you."

Zhang Ergui was speechless, and instantly felt that he, as a father, was a little weak, pitiful and helpless.

"You stupid kid, why did you have to wade into the muddy water? Is the village chief someone you can easily mess with? He has killed people, do you think you are playing house?"

"Dad, aren't you tired of hiding your whole life? What secret of the village chief do you know that makes you so scared?"

"You kid..." Zhang Ergui was a little helpless, but he also knew that he couldn't hide it anymore. He closed his eyes, and at this moment he seemed to have come to the peaceful village 20 years ago.

"Twenty years ago, you were not yet born, and I was less than thirty years old. The village chief of Yujia Village at that time was not the current village chief, but the old village chief Yu who had a good relationship with our family. The old village chief was old, and the position of village chief would naturally be given to someone else. Everyone in the village knew that he was going to retire, and everyone tacitly agreed that the old village chief's eldest son Yu Shulin would take over."

Zhang Ergui fell into memories, tears began to well up in his eyes, and his words were a little choked.

"Brother Yu is a rare intellectual in the village. He has been studying since he was young and was the first person in the village to be admitted to university. At that time, college students were very valuable. Brother Yu was not only unique in the village, but there was no one better than him in the whole town."

Jiang Lan did not disturb him and listened quietly.

"Brother Yu is the idol of all the boys in the village. He is very kind. He always brings delicious food to the children in the village and treats the elderly in the village politely. Everyone says that the old village chief is blessed to have such an excellent son. I have always felt that Brother Yu is not only the pride of the old village chief, but also the pride of our Yujia Village..."

Zhang Ergui suddenly stopped talking here, and his tone became excited.

"But one time he went to the town to gather people, and he never came back. When we found him, he was already dead, and his body had been bitten beyond recognition, not even a complete corpse was left. People in the village said that he had bad luck and was killed by a ferocious beast."

Zhang Ergui's eyes showed fear and his expression became ferocious.

"I am the only one who knows that it wasn't true. I am the only one who knows that Brother Yu was murdered. I saw it that day. I saw Yu Meng and a few others dragging Brother Yu off his bicycle on the village road. They put a sack over his head, and a few people surrounded him, punching and kicking him. They also hit him with sticks. At first he screamed miserably, but then gradually there was no sound, and the whole sack was stained red... After doing all this, they dragged the sack away. I didn't dare to follow them, nor did I dare to tell anyone about this."

Zhang Ergui burst into tears Zong Heng covered his face with his hands, buried his head between his knees uncontrollably, and his whole body trembled, "I am a coward, I know everything, but I dare not say anything. I was too scared, I was really scared... I hid in the bushes, covering my mouth and dared not make any sound. I didn't dare to go home that day, I was too scared to speak. I didn't dare to face the old village chief, I was afraid that Brother Yu would come back in the middle of the night and ask me why I didn't help him tell the truth..."

Jiang Lan pursed his lips, and finally said nothing.

The dead are dead, but the living are suffering from the torment of conscience. Who is worse?

[This... is shocking. ]

[It's scary just to hear it, let alone seeing it with my own eyes. ]

[Horror novels are not so scary, I am sweating all over. 】

【I can understand Zhang's father's fear. I am even more afraid. 】

"Don't you have any doubts, old village chief?" Jiang Lan stood up silently, took a towel and handed it to Zhang Ergui, "The heir died inexplicably, and the direct beneficiary is the most suspicious."

Zhang Ergui sniffed, wiped his tears, and raised his head.

"Of course I had doubts, but Yu Meng is the current village chief. He and Brother Yu are distant relatives. They usually get along well and seem very close on the surface. Yu Meng is a good person. Brother Yu is the only son of the old village chief. After he passed away, Yu Meng took care of the old village chief meticulously, just like his own son. Everyone says that he is helping Brother Yu to fulfill his filial piety, and everyone praises his kindness."

People are forgetful. Who at this time still remembers the gentle boy in the small village's amazing years? They will only remember that a boy had been here, but his position was replaced.

Zhang Ergui was extremely angry. He hated the murderer's hypocrisy, despised his own cowardice, and hated people's forgetfulness.

Yu Meng's acting is so good that sometimes even Zhang Ergui wondered if he had seen it wrong, otherwise how could someone pretend to be so perfect.

"This village chief is really ruthless and pretentious. He is a powerful character." Jiang Lan thought about it and made a reasonable inference, "The old village chief may have discovered that there is something fishy, ​​but he really didn't find any evidence."

Thinking of the old village chief, Zhang Ergui's eyes were full of guilt. He never had the chance to make amends.

"After Brother Yu passed away, the old village chief aged very quickly. He passed away in less than a year." Zhang Ergui sighed, "The old village chief was a kind person. When he was here, there were not so many evil tendencies in the village. Everyone was down-to-earth and hardworking. If someone was lazy, they would be looked down upon by others."

Jiang Lan also heard that the old village chief had a good reputation and was a decent person.

It's a pity that good people don't live long, but evil will last for thousands of years.
