Chapter 561: 561 killed a pig
“If you want us to testify…” someone said, “I don’t want to meddle in such troublesome matters that could offend others.”
Wang Qigu also said, “There’s no benefit in helping the Xiao Family by testifying at the court and offending the Qian Family. Don’t make a foolish mistake, everyone!”
Su Qingyue smiled, “Whoever helps me to testify in this matter is helping justice and righteousness. I will definitely give you a reward when this is over.”
“If there’s a reward…” Qian Youfa was the first to speak, “Fine, if it really goes to court, I’ll testify for you.”
Everyone present stated their willingness to testify, even Wang Qigu showed a face full of desire to go after hearing that there would be money involved.
Su Qingyue sighed, it seemed that the power of money was strong even in these times, “I really have to thank you all for this.”
“Don’t mention it.” Wang Qigu also gave a fake smile with her wrinkled face, “It’s for ‘justice and righteousness’; it’s our duty.”
Qian Youfa taunted her, “Wang Qigu, stop talking about fairness and justice. Weren’t you just now telling everyone to stay out of trouble? Aren’t you just in it for the money? Didn’t you say there would be no benefit in helping the Xiao Family?”
Wang Qigu’s face turned ugly at his words, and decided to just admit it, “So what if I’m doing it for the money? Aren’t you doing the same thing?”
“If it’s not about the money, then it’s not about the money,” Qian Youfa bluntly replied, “Wife of the Xiao Family, even if you don’t give any bribes when going to court, I’ll still help you testify. Today, I truly stand for justice!”
Su Qingyue laughed, “Thank you very much, Brother Qian.”
Her voice was melodious and pleasing to the ear.
Qian Youfa felt the warm fuzziness in his heart upon hearing her voice, and hurriedly waved his hand in embarrassment, “You’re welcome, you’re welcome!”
Qian Zhangshi was still screaming “murder!”, but the villagers beside her could no longer stand it, “Enough! Qian Zhangshi, if you want to go to court to falsely accuse Su Qingyue, the one who should go to jail is you! False accusation is also a serious crime!”
“Don’t believe Su Qingyue!” Qian Zhangshi wanted to say something else, but Qian Youfa had already accepted Su Qingyue’s gratitude, so he spoke up for the Xiao Family, “Don’t believe her? Should we believe you, the fraudster? We’re from the same village, and you shamelessly tried to extort fifty taels from someone in your very first attempt to defraud. You’ve really disgraced all of us villagers; how greedy!”
“Qian Zhangshi is obviously going crazy for money…”
“Look at the Qian Duotian and Qian Duodi, the two brothers are no good either, always trying to cause trouble for the Xiao Family…”
Everyone began to side with the Xiao Family one after the other.
Qian Zhangshi helped up Qian Duotian who had been knocked down, “Husband, are you okay…”
“It hurts so much…” Qian Duotian, the eldest son in Qian Family, said weakly, “If you were the one taking the beating, would you be fine?!”
Qian Duodi, the youngest, continued to vomit blood on the ground.
Qian Zhangshi helped Qian Duotian up and then went to help Qian Duodi. She yelled with a hoarse voice, “You all saw it! Xiao Yishan killed someone!”
Xiao Yishan’s face turned a dark shade, “It was you who started the extortion. Don’t blame me for using excessive force.”
Su Qingyue nodded, “You came to our house to extort money, and when you were injured for your blackmailing activities, you brought it on yourselves. If you really killed someone, would you three still be able to make noise? Or, do you expect to swindle all of our family’s money before we’re allowed to say anything?”
“Yeah… The Qian Family got what they deserved…”
“It’s all their own doing…”
Several villagers echoed one after the other.
Su Qingyue directly grabbed Qian Zhangshi’s hair and dragged her toward the outside of the courtyard.
Qian Zhangshi’s body swept across the ground of the Xiao Family’s courtyard like a broom, her hands covering her scalp, crying out in pain, “Ah! Ah! Someone’s being killed! Murder!”
