After following the proper procedures, the police quickly reached a conclusion: Sun Yaozu died accidentally during the theft, and there were no factors such as being driven away, intimidated, or having a trap set. Tang Xiaoxiao's side bore no responsibility.
Sun's parents were uneducated farmers. They didn't understand or want to understand the theories the police were talking about; they just kept shouting that Tang Xiaoxiao should pay with her life.
They even loudly proclaimed collusion between officials and businessmen, saying that the police were only on Tang Xiaoxiao's side because she was rich.
However, such tactics as throwing a tantrum are useless in the face of the law.
After making a scene for several days to no avail, Sun's parents had no choice but to obediently carry their son's body back home, no matter how unwilling they were.
However, this family did not gain any advantage on the surface; they did some underhanded tricks behind the scenes.
On the day Sun Yaozu was buried, a pile of yellow and white paper money was thrown into Tang Xiaoxiao's yard.
It's almost no question who did it.
The Sun family clearly didn't try to hide it; they did it openly and blatantly.
Otherwise, why not just throw something else around? Pouring two buckets of manure into the yard would be disgusting enough, and it wouldn't be easy to guess who did it.
Tang Xiaoxiao was disgusted by her own thought.
The Sun family was clearly provoked by their son's death and were ready to throw caution to the wind; otherwise, they wouldn't have had the guts or the ability to confront Tang Xiaoxiao head-on.
However, this method was really not enough. Tang Xiaoxiao disposed of the pile of paper money before her parents found out.
That night, screams echoed from the Sun family's courtyard.
......
"Have you heard? The Sun family has been having a lot of trouble for the past few nights!"
"They said they've gotten involved with something unclean?"
"No, I heard that a bunch of rats got into the house, and oh, quite a few snakes too."
"Isn't that getting involved with something unclean? When have you ever seen a snake out and about in the dead of winter? These things are really creepy!"
"What you said makes some sense."
"Maybe it's their kid...you know what I mean."
"It seems I really didn't leave willingly..."
The group of people huddled together exchanging glances, and involuntarily got goosebumps.
"May the Bodhisattva protect us, may the Bodhisattva protect us... We didn't say anything." Someone clasped their hands together, closed their eyes, and murmured a few words before hurriedly turning and running away.
The remaining people also dispersed.
Tang Xiaoxiao, who was out for a walk, curled the corners of her lips.
The village is full of rat nests and snake holes, making it difficult for humans to find their strongholds, but easy for cats.
Her little darlings are quite the experts at catching snakes and mice.
Han Yunqi, who was beside her, tightened his grip on her waist.
By the time he returned home that evening, everything had been resolved. When he learned that the old woman from the Sun family still wanted to harm Tang Xiaoxiao, he almost lost his temper.
He couldn't even imagine what he would do if something happened to Tang Xiaoxiao.
So he doesn't plan to go out until the Chinese New Year; he'll stay home with his wife. Anyway, he's pretty much done with work at the company, so there's no reason why he, the boss, shouldn't have time for a vacation.
Tang Xiaoxiao didn't hide the method of revenge against the Sun family from him. After thinking it over, he realized that this method could teach the family a lesson without causing any real harm, so he acquiesced. The snakes that the cats brought over were all non-venomous. Although the two old people in the Sun family were certainly hateful, they couldn't do anything openly to avoid people saying that the Tang family was abusing their power. After all, they were an elderly couple who had lost their beloved son.
