Chapter 19 Thunder in August
Faced with Qin Lanlan's questioning, Jiang Ruzhen's heart was bleeding. Of course, she had suspected the cause of Shen Jun's death, but at that time she was all alone and had no one to support her.
After the incident, she called her parents, only to be informed by the neighborhood committee that her parents and two brothers had been reported and had been demoted three days earlier.
She was suffering a double blow at the time, and she also had to support a large family. What could she do?
Who can stand up for her?
She had originally planned to use the fifty yuan compensation to work hard, raise the children, and then slowly investigate, but she could never find any evidence.
She also had to face the loss of her children one by one, a situation where the elderly bury their children.
In her past life, her spirit had been shattered, and for the sake of her family's livelihood, she could only bury this matter deep in her heart.
"Qin Lanlan, I won't allow you to talk about Mom like that. Can't you see how hard she's worked all these years?"
Knowing that Dad's death is her biggest regret, why did you still provoke her? The eldest brother looked at Qin Lanlan with a face full of disappointment.
“Shen Zhuoli, stop disgusting me. Jiang Ruzhen is your biological mother, not mine. I have hated her ever since the day she hit me for her own daughter.”
At this point, Qin Lanlan had no scruples left. She knew that Jiang Ruzhen couldn't save her, so there was no need for her to be nice to her anymore.
She now hopes that Jiang Ruzhen, her mother, and her brother will all go to hell and die of anger, then she will be free. Those brothers in the Shen family are all as stupid as pigs.
That Shen Shuxin is nothing, she was bullied by her and didn't dare to say a word.
Once she gets the university acceptance letter, she'll run away with the money from the Shen and Qin families, go to university in Beijing, and never return to this poor rural village.
Jiang Ruzhen looked as if she had been severely shocked, her face pale, clutching her chest as she stared at Qin Lanlan in disbelief.
Liu Guihua and Du Xieyan, who were standing nearby, were not happy about it and started cursing at Qin Lanlan.
"You heartless bastard, how dare you hate your foster mother? Sister Jiang has taken such good care of you all these years, making you plump and healthy. Have you ever been wronged?"
"Don't even mention hitting you a few times. If you were in my house, a lazy bum like you who doesn't know anything about farming, I could whip you eight hundred times a day with the sole of my shoe."
"If you ever go out and flirt around again, I'd rather beat you to death than let you, you little slut, ruin the family's reputation."
The villagers who had come to watch the commotion also joined in cursing Qin Lanlan. Jiang Ruzhen seemed to be provoked, and went forward to grab Qin Lanlan's hair and pull it wildly, and even punched her injured back hard.
"You beast, you animal! I've wasted my life raising you..."
Qin Lanlan screamed as she was being hit, "You crazy woman, why are you hitting me? If you're so capable, go hit that Hao Youde! He's lying on purpose and hiding the truth, go beat him to death..."
The eldest and fourth sons of the Shen family came up to help the mad Jiang Ruzhen, while Shen Shuxin was so frightened that she kept crying.
Only the second son of the Shen family stepped forward with his fist, the size of a sandbag, and gave Hao Youde a good beating, making Hao Youde howl miserably.
Jiang Ruzhen also went crazy, shaking off the eldest and fourth brothers, and went forward to tear Hao Youde's hair while cursing.
"You bastard, you piece of trash! Back when you first joined the factory, the experienced workers all thought you were stupid. It was my husband, Lao Shen, who taught you the skills little by little after get off work."
You've only been on the job for a short time, and you already dare to do such an ungrateful thing. Let me tell you, if I hadn't said I'd give you a chance, my husband would have had the Black Impermanence steal your soul yesterday.
"You still have the nerve to argue here?"
Jiang Ruzhen cried her heart out, looking up at the dark, heavy clouds and roaring at the sky.
"Heavens above, open your eyes and see! Why is it so hard to be a good person in this world? All that's left are heartless beasts! Open your eyes and strike them down!"
As soon as Jiang Ruzhen finished speaking, a huge purple lightning bolt ripped through the sky.
A deafening clap of thunder exploded above everyone's heads, leaving them all stunned.
Has God really intervened?
Hao Youde's eyes were swollen shut from the beating. He had been terrified for the past few days, and the sudden thunderclap terrified him even more.
He covered his head and tried to squeeze into the crowd, crying, "Don't hit me, don't hit me, I don't want to die..."
With a "crack," another bolt of purple lightning exploded above everyone's heads. Hao Youde was so frightened that he lay on the ground, his legs gradually becoming wet, and a strong smell of urine emanated from them.
The surrounding crowd turned away in disgust, but Hao Youde's legs cramped up, making it impossible for him to get up. He could only crawl forward, trembling.
Suddenly, through the gaps in his swollen eyes, he saw a figure dressed in a black robe, holding a spirit-summoning banner, hopping and skipping toward him from across the street.
Hao Youde was so frightened that he jumped up and ran back to Jiang Ruzhen, where he knelt down in front of her with a thud.
“Sister-in-law, I’ll tell you everything. I was blinded by greed and accepted 250 yuan from Li Fen. She’s the one who made me twist the truth and deceive the factory leaders. It was all her idea.”
Sister-in-law, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. Please don't let Brother Shen take me away, please..."
Hao Youde didn't care about anything else; he was afraid he wouldn't live to spend any more money.
Jiang Ruzhen hadn't even had a chance to fully deliver her prepared lines when Hao Youde had already confessed everything.
A thought flashed through her mind, and she knelt down as well, raising her hands and looking up to cry out in sorrow.
"Old Shen! Old Shen! Did you hear that? This beast admitted to framing you. If you know this in the afterlife, you should know that I have sought justice for you!"
If you have any grievances, just let them out, otherwise even the King of Hell won't let you be reincarnated...
As if the heavens had rehearsed this with Jiang Ruzhen, just as she finished speaking, another bolt of purple lightning, as thick as an arm, struck down.
It hit the shipyard's flagpole, which had stood there for decades, right on target.
With a loud bang, the flagpole was struck in two by lightning and fell to the ground.
Everyone around was so frightened that they covered their heads and squatted on the ground, and some even knelt down and muttered incantations.
"God has intervened! God has intervened!"
"The ancients said that Dou E's injustice caused snow to fall in June, and today, for Shen Jun's injustice, Heaven has struck with thunder in August. Heaven has truly opened its eyes!"
"Heavens above, please strike down those evil people!"
......
Upon seeing the scene before him, Hao Youde was so frightened that he let out a thud, his eyes went blank, and he fell straight to the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing.
