Chapter 157 Tragic Death
The village chief is an elderly man who has always been very prestigious in the village, but Tang Tang is not afraid of him at all.
Because the village chief is the only person in the entire village who has walked out of the mountains, he is relatively easy to talk to.
"Grandpa Village Chief, the people inside are my teacher and my classmates. They just came to see me and have no ill intentions!" Tang Tang said.
"You're talking nonsense! That pretty boy just twisted my hand!" Xin Dashan said angrily.
"It was obviously you who started it first, but you are the one who complained first. How shameless!" Chu Qi's voice came from inside.
When everyone walked out and looked at the villagers holding sticks, they could only sigh in their hearts at their ignorance.
"Are you really Tang Tang's friends?" asked the village chief.
"Of course, we will stay here for a few days. After Tang Tang's grandfather is buried, we will pick her up and leave." Chu Runrun said.
"There have never been any outsiders coming in or out of Guluo Village. It's okay for you to stay here, but just don't run around and disturb us!" said the village chief indifferently.
Xin Dashan was immediately displeased when he heard this: "Village Chief, they injured me, how are we going to deal with this?"
The village chief slammed his cane into the ground in anger and said, "You're always so competitive, you deserve to be punished!"
"Village chief, how can you speak to outsiders?" Xin Dashan said unwillingly.
"That's enough! Your grandfather just passed away, and you guys didn't treat him well when he was alive.
Now that everyone has left, if the funeral isn't handled properly, he'll definitely come back and deal with you bastards!" the village chief said angrily.
When Xin Dashan heard this, a hint of fear flashed across his eyes.
After the village chief took the villagers away, Xin Dashan glared at Tang Tang fiercely and left.
Tang Tang breathed a sigh of relief: "Teacher Ning, please sit here for a while. I'll go get you some food!"
"No need, we'll go with you to your house!" Chu Runrun said.
"you!"
Tang Tang looked at the scene of nine people and one dog and couldn't help but worry: "This... is not good!"
Chu Ruanruan chuckled:
"There's nothing wrong with that! They say stirring the grass will alert the snake, but if you don't stir the grass, won't the snake be even harder to catch if it stays in the dark and doesn't move?
The bigger our show, the more likely those with hidden agendas will be unable to hold back and reveal their true colors."
Chu Ruanruan said this, and Tang Tang had no choice but to respond.
Nine people and a dog came to Xin Chengzhi's mourning hall in a mighty procession.
Xin Chengzhi had five sons and three daughters, seven grandsons and four granddaughters, but there was no one in the mourning hall at the moment, they were all outside.
Even children who tried to approach the mourning hall would be pulled over and slapped by adults to warn them not to come near.
Seeing Tang Tang coming with a group of people, her uncles hurried over and said angrily:
"Tang Tang, why did you bring these outsiders back? Take them away quickly!"
Before Tang Tang could speak, Chu Ruanruan said:
"We are Tang Tang's friends after all. Shouldn't we go in and pay our respects when her grandfather passes away?"
"What is there to worship for you outsiders? If you don't get out of here, don't blame me for taking action!" Tang Tang's uncle said as he was about to get a broom.
But the next second, Chu Ruanruan's words made him stop.
"Your dad is watching you there. If you hit someone in front of him, aren't you afraid that he will punish you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only did Tang Tang's uncle turn pale, but the others also looked around in horror.
Chu Runrun sneered. Judging from their reaction, Xin Chengzhi must have contacted them a long time ago.
At this time, a gust of cold wind blew, and Tang Tang's uncles and aunts hurriedly knelt down.
"Dad... Dad, where are you? We're sending you off with good food and drinks, so please don't be so mean to us!"
"Dad, you're already dead, so stop doing weird things!"
“…”
Chu Ruanruan and Chu Qi smiled at each other.
These idiots, who would come out in the middle of the day?
While these people were frightened and panicked, Chu Runrun walked into the mourning hall.
Xin Chengzhi's coffin lid was not closed, and Chu Runrun could see his body if she got a little closer.
You won’t know until you see it. It’s shocking. Xin Chengzhi is as thin as a monkey. Although his face has not rotted yet, he hardly looks like a human.
His hair was so sparse that it couldn't be any thinner. There was a thumb-sized wound on the top of his head, which was sharp and angled. It was obvious that it was caused by hitting something sharp like the corner of a table.
Chu Runrun reached out and lifted the sleeves of the shroud, and found that he was wearing more than ten layers of clothes. The body of a normal person was completely supported by clothes.
The most important thing is that there are many whiplash wounds on the already withered arms.
From this we can see what Xin Chengzhi went through during the years of his illness.
Five sons and three daughters actually tortured an old man like this. Even if they didn't want to support him, they could just let him fend for himself. Why did they beat him?
Chu Runrun rearranged the funeral clothes and turned to leave the mourning hall.
Those people recovered from their fear, but still did not dare to enter the mourning hall.
When they saw Chu Ruanruan coming out, they were so scared that they stepped back.
Chu Ruanruan couldn't help but sneer: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that your father will turn into a ghost and come back to seek revenge on you?"
"You...what nonsense are you talking about! Now that the worship is over, get out of here! You are not welcome here!"
"Do you want to use Tang Tang to appease Xin Chengzhi's anger?
Haha~ I can tell you clearly that Xin Chengzhi will not take action against Tang Tang, and you will not escape punishment! "
After saying that, Chu Ruanruan and others left.
After returning to her residence, Chu Runrun told Tang Tang what she had seen, and even Tang Tang was very surprised.
"Why would my uncles treat my grandfather like this?"
"Who knows!" Chu Runrun's eyes were full of sarcasm.
Xin Chengzhi's tragic death was the fault of his children, but he himself was also closely linked to it.
He raised eight children but didn't teach them, and they turned out to be ungrateful. Who can he blame?
"Tang Tang, does your grandfather have any savings or anything like that?" Chu Runrun asked.
Tang Tang shook his head: "I don't know! But the village is in the mountains, so even if Grandpa has savings, it won't be much."
"That's strange!" Chu Runrun frowned.
"What's strange about that?"
"In theory, even if they don't want to support the elderly, they can just leave him somewhere to fend for himself.
I think the reason why Xin Chengzhi had so many wounds on his body was that those people wanted something and Xin Chengzhi refused to give it to them, so they pressed him like that.
But Xin Chengzhi has no savings, so why would they do this?" Chu Ruanruan said.
Tang Tang sighed and said worriedly:
"Mom is in a coma now, otherwise we could ask her, she should know more than me."
