Yang Dongliang snorted coldly and helped Qiao Wanyue up.
He turned his head away from the county magistrate's gloomy face.
The county magistrate was also losing face.
After all, he did force the person to go home and fulfill their filial duties.
He turned to look at Qiao Sheng, squinting, "Qiao Sheng, you've been abusing Qiao Wanyue."
Qiao Shenggang was about to refute.
Qiao Wanyue cried out, "Don't hit me! I'm scared! Mom, please stop hitting me, it hurts!"
"It hurts a lot to get hit by a wire, how about we replace it with a belt?"
"Stop hitting him."
She clutched her head and screamed in agony on the ground.
Qiao Sheng gritted his teeth until they were shattered.
He wanted to argue, but Yang Dongliang had already lifted the hem of Qiao Wanyue's clothes, revealing half of her arm.
There are marks of old and new skin on her fair arms.
The long whip marks resembled a bottomless caterpillar, coiling around her arm, a truly shocking sight.
Qiao Sheng wanted to stop Qiao Wanyue from talking nonsense.
But a scene flashed before his eyes: Liang Xiu wielding a meter-long wire and scolding Qiao Wanyue.
The incident happened about six months ago.
Qiao Wanyue came home late because she was playing, and they didn't have time to eat when they got home. The whole family was starving. Liang Xiu only beat her because she was angry. How could it have gotten so serious?
Qiao Sheng looked at the whip marks and couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Besides, after so much time, shouldn't the whip marks have faded by now?
She didn't remember such a small thing for so long.
Qiao Sheng couldn't help but complain that she was petty.
Qiao Shanshan nudged Qiao Sheng's arm and whispered, "Dad, I'm going home to check on things first."
Qiao Sheng was also worried that something had happened at home.
He nodded. "Be careful."
Just as Qiao Shanshan was about to turn and leave, Xiahou Xing's mocking voice rang out, "Comrade Qiao, why are you leaving? Your parents are still here. Are you rushing home to destroy the evidence?"
Qiao Shanshan paused in her steps.
That damned Xiahou Xing.
"What evidence?" The county magistrate was completely confused by this guy.
What exactly are they trying to do?
“County Magistrate, this is a private matter. We have official business to attend to. Why don’t we go back first?” said a man in a Zhongshan suit standing next to the county magistrate.
The county magistrate also realized that his good intentions had backfired.
He was hesitant.
Yang Dongliang spoke coldly, "If the county magistrate hadn't forced Qiao Wanyue to return, this wouldn't have happened. What, when you go against someone's wishes, you say it's all about filial piety?"
Now that people are suffering, it's considered someone else's private matter. Why do you get to do all the good things? Should I erect a monument for you?
Wei Kangjian was absolutely furious.
"Yang Dongliang, shut up."
Yang Dongliang sneered, "I'm telling you, if you don't give me an explanation today, I'll lead my men to raze the Qiao family to the ground. You'd better tell me what happened, otherwise, I'll lead my own men to investigate."
He stared at the man who had just spoken. "I'll investigate myself. If I find anything, things will get out of control."
A chill ran down the man's spine.
The county magistrate was also somewhat embarrassed.
Liang Xiu, in a daze, was pinned to the ground, staring intently at Qiao Wanyue.
Qiao Wanyue shrank behind Yang Dongliang in fear.
They all looked exactly like victims.
"Let's go to the Qiao family first. We'll know what happened then," Wei Kangjian said.
"no"
"no"
"no"
The three voices spoke in unison.
Qiao Sheng, Qiao Shanshan, and Liang Xiu spoke at the same time.
The accompanying team looked at each other in bewilderment.
There's a ghost.
Before anyone could object, a burly man ran over. He didn't recognize the commune leaders or the county head and said to Qiao Sheng, "Uncle Qiao, you need to go home quickly, something has happened to your family."
Qiao Sheng's vision went black.
It's over.
