Chapter 40: Public Sentiment



Su Ruoxue nodded. She had been accumulating anger towards Li Fugen for a long time.

In the past, when she passed by Qingshi Village, she would occasionally meet Shi Chunlan and help her heal her wounds.

When asked how she was injured, she just said that she fell.

But this kind of bruise cannot be caused by a fall!

What's more, it would be fine if he fell once or twice, but he actually fell several times!

Su Ruoxue stood in front of everyone, took out a small scarecrow, and pointed at several places, including the hands, feet, and head.

"I just checked Sister Chunlan. There are bruises and even blood scabs in these places, both old and new."

"We didn't notice it normally, it was just that Sister Chunlan was wearing long sleeves to cover her injuries."

"I swear on my name, Su Ruoxue, that these injuries could not have been caused by a fall!"

"How could one person fall so many times, both frontally and backwards?"

The villagers had always doubted Li Fugen's character. Now that Su Ruoxue, the daughter of the miracle doctor, came out in person to prove that Shi Chunlan's injuries were caused by human error, the villagers despised Li Fugen even more.

"Damn it, Su Ruoxue, who the hell do you think you are! Don't think you can talk nonsense just because you treat so many people!" Li Fugen was furious and started to attack Su Ruoxue personally.

"No personal attacks! You are disrupting the order of the court! I'll fine you ten taels!" Lin Tongxi picked up the loudspeaker and shouted in the direction of Li Funian.

Chen Yunxuan also took the opportunity to slam the gavel and criticize Li Fugen: "Brother Tongxi is absolutely right. If you do it again, I will ban you from speaking!"

Seeing Li Fugen being so rude, the village chief Li covered his face repeatedly and did not dare to admit that this was a descendant of the Li family.

"How could the little miracle doctor talk nonsense!"

"Li Fugen, just admit it!"

"I was wondering why I heard a woman crying at Li Fugen's house. It turns out this guy really beats his wife!"

The crowd was talking about it for a while, and some even wanted to beat up Li Fugen.

If Zhou Tiezhu had not stopped everyone beside him, Li Fugen would have been beaten by everyone.

"Okay, I'll admit it, okay?"

"Where is the rule in this village that says you can't beat your wife?"

"I was counting on her to pass on my family lineage, but who knew this prodigal woman would be so unsuccessful that she couldn't even give birth to a son!"

"She married into my Li family. She is mine in life and mine in death. Don't even think about beating her. I can even beat her to death!"

Zhou Tiezhu's words were disgusting, and his mind was full of feudal ideas.

As a modern man, Lin Tongxi could no longer bear to listen.

"Brother Tiezhu, tie him up and gag him!"

Zhou Tiezhu tied him up and stuffed a cloth into his mouth.

His mouth stinks so badly that I can still smell the disgusting smell from such a distance.

"Alright, let's continue the trial!" Chen Yunxuan clapped the gavel and continued questioning. He looked at Zhao Gengnian and asked, "Zhao Gengnian, Shi Kaishan got the news from you. Do you have anything to say?"

Zhao Gengnian stood up and began to talk about what he had seen and heard.

One day, he passed by a big tree and found a little girl crying. He saw that it was Shi Chunlan's daughter Xiaotong, so he sent her back.

Unexpectedly, she refused to go back. It was not until Shi Chunlan came that she reluctantly followed her mother home.

The man was about to ask Shi Chunlan what happened, but Shi Chunlan avoided the question and hurried home.

The two men's behavior was too strange, so Zhao Gengnian secretly came to his home, and then heard crying and begging for mercy from the house.

Zhao Gengnian was full of vigor and wanted to rush in, but Li Wangan and others happened to come over.

Seeing his brothers coming, Li Fugen stopped and went to drink with Li Wangan and the others.

After the three men left, Zhao Gengnian entered the house and checked the injuries of the two men.

"Gengnian... please... please don't tell anyone about this... okay..."

"But... why...?" Zhao Gengnian was very puzzled. Why did the woman who once loved him become like this now?

Shi Chunlan hugged the girl, secretly shedding tears, sobbing, "Xiaotong...will be gossiped about by the villagers, and we also rely on her father for support...I...don't want to cause trouble for my brother anymore."

"If you tell me... I will hate you forever..."

The story ended here, and it was not until today that Zhao Gengnian could not help but tell it out loud.

After listening to Zhao Chunlan's story, many people shed tears, but more people were angry.

"Expel Li Fugen from the clan!"

"Expel Li Fugen!"

"Too merciful! Chop him up and feed him to the dogs!"

The public sentiment is surging and unstoppable.

Li Fugen trembled all over and finally knelt down. He knew what his fate would be.
