Chapter 65 A Day as Husband and Wife, a Hundred Days of Kindness
Luo Caixia cursed, "You don't even know what's going on yet, so shut up!"
"We all know what kind of person Liu Yaozong is."
Liu's mother: "What are you saying? You just spoil your good-for-nothing son."
"Shut up! You have no right to speak here. Liu Yaozong deserves it!" Su Qinglian pointed at Liu's mother. "Try cursing my brother again."
Liu's mother plopped down on the ground, crying out, "Heavens above! Let lightning strike this family down, my Yaozong!"
Just then, Butcher Chen quietly tugged at Su Jianguo, "Old Su, come here for a second."
Just as I was about to step aside to speak, the ambulance arrived.
"The ambulance is here! The ambulance!"
Liu Yaozong was helped by villagers to be lifted into an ambulance. Village Chief Wei rushed over in a hurry. He was so anxious on the way that he kicked off one of his toenails and walked with a limp.
"What's all the noise about? What's going on?"
"So much blood, oh my god..."
When Village Chief Wei approached and took a closer look, he was so frightened that he almost lost his footing.
Even after the person was put into the ambulance, Old Mrs. Liu could barely stand, pointing at Luo Caixia, "Your family should pay, pay..."
Luo Caixia was unwilling, but Butcher Chen said, "Qinglian, hurry up and get in the car, come with us."
"I'm not going!"
Su Qinglian guessed what had happened. She felt nothing but disgust for Liu Yaozong and wished he were dead, but she was also afraid that if he really died, it would implicate Su Yuanzheng and send him to jail.
"Even a day as husband and wife is a hundred days of kindness. Yaozong has shed so much blood. Even if the couple is not on good terms, they should still handle this matter properly."
Zhou Erniang also advised her, "Child, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. This is what Yuanzheng did. What about Yuanzheng?"
"What about the expedition?"
Someone asked, and Village Chief Wei suddenly realized, "Where's the expeditionary force? Why isn't he here? What happened to his own brother-in-law...?"
"Oh!" Luo Caixia reacted quickly and said, "Yutong wasn't feeling well, so we took her to the hospital. It's probably because of some conflict earlier."
Luo Caixia said what Butcher Chen dared not say, but no one thought about it at the moment.
"Where are the family members? Where are the family members..."
Luo Caixia looked at Su Qinglian, "Go, go... take care of things first, do you have any money?"
"rich."
Su Qinglian controlled all the money Liu Yaozong earned, but Su Qinglian didn't want to go. "Mom, I..."
"Go first and handle this properly; it concerns your brother."
Luo Caixia was on the verge of tears, and Su Qinglian sighed deeply.
Just then, Liu's mother yelled at Su Qinglian from inside the ambulance, "Aren't you coming over here right now?"
"What are you yelling for? You're claiming you're innocent? I'm going there. Shut your stinking mouth!"
After that shout, the whole village fell silent.
Su Qinglian gave Luo Caixia another deep look, "Mom, what about Yutong..."
"Don't worry, I'll go check it out right away and let you know."
The ambulance left, and Su Qinglian went with it. Xiao Mi was so frightened that she couldn't speak. She looked blank and didn't seem to feel anything when she saw her father lying there. She just hid behind Luo Caixia, too scared to look.
Zhou Erniang sighed, "Qinglian's bad temper is terrifying, she's really something."
The village chief's wife, Yang Shuying, also said, "We shouldn't spread village affairs outside the village. It's enough for us to know. Don't be fooled by the villagers. Yuanzheng wouldn't easily beat someone. It's possible that Liu Yaozong himself made some unreasonable demands..."
The villager nodded, "I think so. Yuanzheng is a good kid. I watched him grow up. As for Liu Yaozong..."
She glanced at Su Jianguo again, "Sigh..."
"Old Su, you have to hang in there."
Su Jianguo nodded, "Thank you all for your help. Go back now. We can handle our own family matters behind closed doors."
“Old Su, you have to tell Yuanzheng not to act so impulsively next time. Look at all this blood, it’s terrifying. Yuanzheng is the hope of our whole village.”
"Thank you everyone, thank you so much."
Village Chief Wei also stepped forward and said to Su Jianguo, "Our village has a positive image. Last time, so many reporters came and said things like that our people are honest and kind. We've even been on TV and are considered celebrities. Old Su, you can handle this kind of thing behind closed doors."
Just then, Chen Xinya, who had been silent all along, suddenly stood up and said, "Village chief, this should indeed be handled behind closed doors."
"Uncle Su, did Liu Yaozong do something to Yutong, so Yuanzheng found out and that's why..."
Chen Xinya deliberately steered the conversation in that direction.
A lone man and woman in a cornfield, Su Yuanzheng had beaten them so badly, leaving them bloodied and mangled, digging into their bodies with a hoe, essentially killing them.
Everyone's smart enough to know the truth, but they're just pretending not to.
Chen Xinya immediately exposed the truth, and Chen the Butcher was the first to scold her, "Are you out of your mind? What business is it of yours?"
You see, Butcher Chen always doted on this daughter. He was rich from slaughtering pigs and gave Chen Xinya the best of everything. He never scolded her; even if an ant crawled on her foot and bit her while she was walking, Butcher Chen would boil a kettle of water and pour it on the ant nest.
This was the first time he had ever yelled at Chen Xinya in front of so many people.
Chen Xinya did not back down and said to Village Chief Wei, "This matter could be a big deal or a small deal. If word gets out that our village is protecting bad people, that would be bad. If Liu Yaozong really did something outrageous, he should just go to jail and be locked up. We should separate public and private matters, right?"
Chen Xinya took a deep breath. "Village Chief, if Yuanzheng goes too far with his methods, he will be punished. We can't ignore the law, can we?"
Upon hearing this, Butcher Chen flew into a rage, shouting, "What's it to you? This is someone else's family matter!"
Even the most gossipy Zhou Erniang didn't dare to utter a sound, looking at Chen Xinya as if she were a crazy woman.
Su Jianguo and Luo Caixia also fell silent. This undoubtedly exposed the situation to everyone, leaving them embarrassed and awkward...
Just then, Xiaomi asked, "What happened to my dad? What did he do to my aunt?"
"Grandpa and Grandma..."
Xiaomi is good at picking the important points; everyone's expressions are grim.
Village Chief Wei frowned deeply and said again, "Old Su, this is your family matter..."
Village Chief Wei's intention was clearly to let Su Jianguo handle the matter behind closed doors. His in-laws were his in-laws, and his son-in-law was his son-in-law; they should discuss it amongst themselves and decide what to do.
It's hard to say for sure. The whole village is happy because Su Yuanzheng built this courtyard. Now Xia Yutong is also doing something worthwhile. The village is gradually becoming more lively and human again.
Young people staying in their hometowns, accompanying those who are nearing the end of their lives, raising children, getting married and having children, is like injecting new blood into this land.
No longer so lonely and desolate.
If something happens to Su Yuanzheng, won't all the villagers have to go to the city to work again...?
Besides, it really is a matter for the Su family; once they handle it well, everything will be fine.
