Chapter 42 It's hard to tell
Meng and Hei Dou were pulled out from the corner by everyone.
She was extremely scared, and Heisan was also knocked unconscious. She didn't know what to do?
The entire Niu family frowned as they looked at Meng and Hei Dou.
Needless to say, everyone in the village knew that although Meng was noisy in normal times, she had no say in the matter when something really happened. She was ordered around by Hei San every day at home, and sometimes even beaten until she was bleeding, and they couldn't do anything about her.
What can a 12-year-old boy like Hei Dou do?
Meng looked at the Niu brothers across from her, trembling and begging for mercy: "Brothers, please don't hurt my son. I don't know anything. We are all pitiful people. Please have pity on us!"
Meng cried miserably, and the onlookers sighed.
"The village chief is here!" someone shouted in the crowd.
Wang Dadi was so angry that he was about to die. He was extremely furious.
There's no end to dealing with this bastard thing every day, and I can't get any real work done!
Old man Li followed closely behind. He walked quickly over and looked at Old man Niu.
"The little scholar is here too!" someone in the crowd shouted again.
Xie Shuangbai was arranging the loading of tofu for Wang Yun when he heard a villager calling him, saying that someone had died at the stone mill. He quickly told his sister to keep an eye on the car and went to the stone mill with the visitor.
On the way he already knew the reason.
When Xie Shuangbai arrived, he saw Wang Dadi gathered around Old Man Li, anxiously waiting for the diagnosis. He hurried over and asked:
"Uncle Li, how is Uncle Niu? Is he okay?"
Old Man Li frowned and said, "He hit his head. He's still unconscious. It's hard to say when he'll wake up."
Old Mrs. Niu was even more annoyed. She didn't know when he would wake up. What did that mean?
The Niu family members also frowned.
Medical treatment is not a small expense these days. Although his family's conditions are not bad in the village, they can only afford to have enough food and clothing, and they don't have extra money to support medical treatment.
The daughters-in-law of the Niu family refused to give in and kept clamoring for an explanation from the Hei family.
For a while, the two sides were deadlocked and Wang Dadi was unable to call Hei Laodi.
Although Hei Lao Di hated his son who was beaten half to death, he was his biological son after all, so he could only negotiate compensation with the Niu family.
"My son from the Niu family was almost beaten to death by you. We don't want this compensation. Please back down a bit!"
"What Old Man Hei said is not true. Even though Hei San was almost beaten to death, he's not dead yet. He's still alive. Now my father-in-law doesn't know when he will wake up. Our family is willing to pay for Hei San's medical treatment. Shouldn't you also take responsibility for taking care of my father-in-law?"
The wives of the Niu family are not stupid. How much can it cost to treat Heisan’s injury? It’s just a superficial ointment, but his father-in-law has an internal problem, so I wonder how much it will cost!
Black Daddy's eyes darkened as he asked, "How much do you want?"
Just as Old Lady Niu was about to speak, Niu Erzhuang interrupted her and said, "We don't want money. We just want my father to wake up. You just need to watch over him until he wakes up. If he wakes up tomorrow and Village Doctor Li says he's fine, then this matter will be over."
The Hei family's daughter-in-law had a frighteningly gloomy look in her eyes. It was obvious that the Niu family was relying on her family.
They knew that their father-in-law couldn't let go of Heisan. The eldest and second daughters-in-law of the Hei family looked at each other again and understood each other in an instant.
The eldest son's wife cried and yelled, "Dad, you can't ignore the family. The third brother has been separated. When has he ever taken care of you? You are not letting the whole family live!"
The second son's wife also cried miserably: "Life is unbearable. After the separation of the family, it was our two families who took care of you. You can't be so cruel. After the separation, if you still care about us... you can only take the children and go back to your mother's family!"
The eldest son's wife cried even louder: "What my sister-in-law said is true. I have never heard of a family that is still entangled after dividing the family property. Is the government's document still of any use? Village chief, please say something!"
Wang Dadi was troubled by their crying.
According to the law, once the family is divided, each party will be a separate family. They only need to pay alimony on the agreed date, and the other parties will not interfere.
Wang Dadi was so worried. It was really difficult for an honest judge to judge family disputes.
"Village chief, please tell me something. The family has split up, and if one family kills someone, is that our business?"
Hei Er's wife is very good at grasping the key points.
"This... according to the law, there's no need to worry about it, but logically...
Hei Er's wife immediately interrupted him, wiping her tears and saying, "I remember that, right? The law says it all. We can't interfere in Hei San's affairs. What do you think, Dad? You can't just ignore the grandchildren at home, or your mother-in-law will be in trouble!"
Old Man Hei was very angry when he saw his two daughters-in-law singing the same tune, but he was old and had to rely on his two sons and daughters-in-law. There was nothing he could do, so he just pretended that Hei San had never been born.
He turned around and looked at Hei Dou standing in the crowd. Although he was also his grandson, he couldn't care less. He sighed and left without saying anything.
The Niu family watched the old man in black walk away with his body hunched over without saying a word, and they knew that they could only find Hei San to deal with this matter. After all, the law was there and they had no choice.
Xie Shuangbai also knew that this was the most difficult matter. After all, Hei San had evil intentions. If he hadn't come to take advantage of the situation, this wouldn't have happened. This is what it means when evildoers are punished. The Niu family looked like they were not easy to mess with, and they would be in big trouble for him.
"I'll pay you back!"
A childish voice broke the quarrel.
Xie Shuangbai saw a boy wearing tattered clothes but with particularly dark eyes, surrounded by a crowd.
He was quite surprised.
"You pay it back, what will you give it back?"
The Niu brothers looked at each other and said, "Are you kidding me, kid?"
Hei Dou ignored the Niu family's doubts and said to his mother:
"I'll pay you back, even if I die. But I have to take my sister and break off the relationship. This money is your reward for giving birth to me!"
The onlookers were shocked. It seemed that Hei Dou broke off the engagement without saying a word. The last person to break off the engagement was Xie Xiaoxiucai.
Xie Shuangbai inexplicably became popular.
I thought to myself: It’s not me who led this child astray!
Xie Shuangbai also became excited at this time. This kid was quite interesting. Wang Yun had already made him feel amused, and now here came another ruthless guy.
Is their Xiaoshi Village a place that produces ruthless people?
"Do you agree?"
Hei Dou looked at Meng with his dark eyes calmly.
Mrs. Meng swallowed her saliva when she was looked at. She didn't understand her son at all and always found him creepy.
"How can I make the decision? Your father is still..."
"Even if he wakes up, he won't be able to pay back the money. He might even sell you and your sister. Do you want to be sold?"
Hei Dou stated the shocking fact calmly.
Meng thought that this was the longest sentence Hei Dou had ever said to her. She shook her head and thought about what Hei Dou said.
It is really possible that she and her daughter were sold to pay off debts.
When Heisan beat her, he often said that he would sell her when he got tired of her one day, and said that a daughter was a money-losing thing and should be sold for money.
Meng's eyes turned fierce. At worst, he would be beaten to death, but her son could not be harmed by Hei San anymore.
She said with a determined look: "Okay, mother agrees, let's break off the engagement."
Then he started crying again:
"Son, you're all I have left. Live a good life with your sister. Please... please don't be like me. My life is ruined, ruined... Wuuuuu!"
