Chapter 444 If you dare to touch me, you're dead
Mingzhu didn't know about this at first, because several people in the family didn't want her to worry.
The next day, Mingzhu was bored reading at home and remembered that Fang Shuyu came a few days ago and said that he bought a lot of fabrics and wanted to make baby clothes for the children in advance. He asked her to go and see if the fabrics she chose were what she wanted and match the colors of the children's clothes.
She had nothing to do, so she took the bus back to her family compound when there were few people.
After getting off the bus, she walked slowly with her big belly.
When she was near the gate of the family compound, she saw an old lady lying on a tattered mattress on the curb on the side of the road, and next to her was a man in his fifties who looked like a monkey.
There were a few people who looked like passers-by in front of her, staring at the ground. If she
didn't look closely, she would have thought they were beggars
. But she also knew that it was unlikely that someone could openly beg at the gate of the family compound in this era. It was not
until she got closer that she also took a look and found that there was a big-character poster in front of the old lady with her eyes closed. It
clearly stated that the other party was the relative of Commander Jiang in this compound. The eldest son of the Jiang family had been infatuated with her daughter and wanted to divorce and abandon his wife and children. Her family disagreed, so the eldest son of the Jiang family beat her, causing her to have a heart attack and be hospitalized, but the Jiang family refused to even pay for the medical expenses.
They are just ordinary people, with no one to support them. They have no way to seek justice when they are wronged. Their families are poor and they can only be discharged from the hospital and wait to die. They are not convinced and want the Jiang family to come forward to give them justice.
After Mingzhu finished reading, she heard passers-by muttering.
"Are there still soldiers who can be so arrogant these days? That won't do. This matter must be investigated to the end. It's useless for you to lie here. Go to the higher authorities to sue them."
Feng Desheng, who was standing aside, burst into tears and said, "It's useless to sue. The eldest son of the Jiang family who beat people is not a soldier, but an ordinary worker. He retired a few days ago. The higher authorities have no right to interfere in his affairs. What's more, we really have no evidence and no other way. We can only risk our lives and ask the Jiang family to give an explanation."
"Oh, this is too pitiful. Since there are people in his family, there must be soldiers. Whoever is in the army can be sued."
Feng Desheng shook his head: "Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its owner. We cannot drag innocent people into it. We just ask the old man of the Jiang family to come forward and give justice."
Public opinion often favors the weak. If Mingzhu didn't know the truth of this matter, she would have been fooled by Feng Dejiang's appearance.
But unfortunately, she knew the truth.
She originally wanted to go back to the family compound first to ask about the current situation, but seeing the hateful face of Feng Desheng when he spread rumors and slandered the Jiang family, she stopped.
What if he really succeeded, Jiang Duo is also a member of the Jiang family, wouldn't he also be disgraced?
That won't work. This is unbearable.
She is now nearly seven months pregnant and cannot confront this rogue rashly. It is too dangerous because she cannot take shelter on the main road.
After a change of mind, she turned around and walked to a big tree not far away, called a middle-aged woman with a patched coat on her body, and smiled sweetly: "Auntie, I will give you five yuan as a reward. Can you do me a simple favor?"
...
In the crowd not far away, Zhao Dejiang was still accusing the Jiang family of all kinds of things to the onlookers. Suddenly, a middle-aged woman's voice outside the crowd said disdainfully: "You also said that you have no evidence, so we can't believe it. You won't lie."
Feng Desheng looked at the other party and directly retorted: "Don't you see that my mother is like this? How can this be false?"
"Your mother is already in such a state, why don't you send her to the hospital for treatment? Instead, you bring her here to make trouble and ask for justice? In my opinion, this old lady is either pretending or you just don't care about her life or death."
Feng Dejiang was annoyed. Where did this nosy old woman come from? "If my family had money to treat my mother, would I be here?"
"The material of the clothes you are wearing is very good. It's enough for my family's food expenses for a month. And your pair of leather shoes, wow, it's enough for my family's food expenses for a month. You still say you have no money? It's obvious that you don't want to be treated, or you want to wait for your mother to die and fool people?"
Feng Dejiang was anxious: "You... who are you? You don't know anything, and you are talking nonsense here."
The middle-aged woman curled her lips: "You are free to act here, but we are not allowed to judge... yes, judge? Don't you see, this is a military compound, and those who live here are heroes who have defended their country. If you are really right, will the higher-ups ignore it? I don't believe it."
Mingzhu, who was outside the crowd, lowered her head and held back her laughter. She felt sorry for her aunt. She didn't forget the words in such a short time.
Feng Dejiang stepped off the curb: "Who the hell are you? How dare you target us, a vulnerable group? Were you sent by the Jiang family?"
"What Jiang family? I just took the bus here. I saw it was lively and came over to join in. The words you say are just like those of a street vendor. No smart person would believe you." Seeing
Feng Dejiang approaching, the middle-aged woman backed away in fear: "Hey, hey, hey, you pretend to be weak and lie to people. Now you want to hit me? If you really dare to touch me, you'll be dead. I'm in a hurry to catch the bus. I won't bother with you today."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and ran. While running, she touched her pocket. She only said a few words, but it was worth five dollars. She was really lucky today.
The middle-aged woman ran away, and Feng Desheng couldn't abandon his mother who was pretending to be sick to chase her, so he could only grit his teeth and bear it.
But when he turned around, the people who were watching just now were also moved by the woman's words. No one was willing to continue to care about it, and they left one after another, including Mingzhu.
She entered the family compound in a good mood. She
met a few people on the way, and when they saw her, they greeted her, but after walking past her, they turned back to look at her frequently.
Mingzhu guessed that it must be the matter of the mother and daughter at the door that spread throughout the family compound, and it seemed that they were not new.
Did Jiang Duo know about this? Why didn't he tell her?
She originally wanted to find Ms. Fang first, but seeing the current situation, she turned around and went to her grandfather's house first.
When she entered the house, she saw her grandfather, uncle, mother-in-law and third aunt.
Third aunt was still knitting a sweater, while mother-in-law was saying comforting words to uncle.
Seeing Mingzhu coming, Fang Shuyu quickly stopped talking, stood up and came over, with a look of surprise on her face: "Zhuzhu? Why are you here at this time?"
Seeing that everyone was trying hard to change their expressions, Mingzhu guessed that her family didn't want her to know about this.
She smiled and said, "Didn't you tell me a few days ago that you bought fabrics for the children to make clothes and asked me to come back and see how to match the colors?"
"Oh, yes, yes, I forgot. So shall we go back and see now?"
"No hurry. When I just came back, I saw a good show at the door. How long have they been making trouble?"
