250 That Quick?!
She was almost 50 years old, but she was still a little scheming.
If she didn’t shout, Chen Laoba, Grandma Chen, and Grandpa Chen would definitely protect Xue Zhuzi since they wanted someone to inherit their family’s legacy. Xue Zhuzi was not a good person. So what if he changed his surname to Chen? As long as Xue Zhuzi was alive, her younger daughter would definitely not have a good life.
She would know just by looking at how Xue Gouzi was bullied.
Her other daughters were already married, so she didn’t have to worry about them. However, she had to think for her younger daughter.
Zhang Meili’s elder sister’s voice was so loud that it quickly attracted a lot of people.
Chief Chen rushed over again today. When he saw this scene, he could no longer bear it. “Send them off to the officials! This instant! This Xue zhuzi, no, Chen Zhuzi must be sent off! A life for a life, it’s only right!”
“Right! That’s right!” The onlookers all agreed.
Chen Laoba, Grandma Chen, and Grandpa Chen all cried and begged to give their Zhuzi a way out. They said that they finally had an heir and could not let it end.
Chief Chen didn’t listen at all. He had long heard that Zhuzi was a vile child. The others were also filled with righteous indignation, and no one listened to him.
Chan Laoyi, Chen Laoer, and the others also wanted to give up. They could tolerate other things, but how could they tolerate murder? They were afraid that their parents would be angered to death, so they didn’t say anything.
“You old fart, what right do you have to send me to see the officials?! That’s my mother. Even if I killed her, it’s not your place to care!”
Seeing that Chen Zhuzi wasn’t sad at all about the death of his mother, Zhang Meili, everyone couldn’t help but curse, “B*stard! Beast! Trash!”
“Quickly tie him up!” Chief Chen roared.
No matter how much Chen Zhuzi resisted, it was useless. There were so many young and strong men in the village. Any two men could tie him up.
“Zhuzi, Zhuzi…” seeing her only grandson being taken away, Grandma Chen was so agitated that she couldn’t catch her breath and fell silently.
“Ah…” Grandpa Chen could still bear it at first when he saw Zhuzi being taken away, but the wife who had accompanied him for a lifetime was gone. He was even more shocked by her passing and he couldn’t breathe. After two ah sounds, he was gone as well.
“Mother…”
“Father…”
Chen Laoyi, Chen Laoer, and the others all cried.
Chief Chen didn’t expect Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen to leave just like that. They were his elder brother and sister-in-law, but he still had a bottom line. As the village chief, he couldn’t tolerate things that he couldn’t tolerate. Therefore, he still insisted on sending Xue Zhuzi to the officials.
Without his only son and the protection of his parents who loved him the most, Chen Laoba could predict his future without thinking. He cried even harder at the loss of his parents and his life.
…
After Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had finished looking at the five acres of land, they looked at the land that Xue Dafu and the others were planning to open up. It was overgrown with weeds and some trees needed to be removed, but Xue Dafu and the others refused to let them help.
Before they returned to the village, they saw Xue Gouzi sitting by the river and crying.
Jiang Yue and Xue Xiao exchanged a look before walking over.
“Gouzi, what’s wrong?” Xue Yan asked. At noon, when Dagui insisted on sending Zhang Meili off, he didn’t seem so sad.
Jiang Yue also found it strange, so she squatted down in front of Xue Gouzi with Xue Yan.
“I’m sad!” Xue Gouzi cried so hard that he couldn’t catch his breath, “I just heard that my mother died. She was smashed to death with a stool by my own brother, and he was sent to the court. My father didn’t let me see him at all!!”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were stunned.
They expected Zhang Meili and Chen Zhuzi to court death, and the two of them simply wouldn’t stop, but they didn’t expect it to be so fast.
