Chapter 26: The little test is very cruel
"I'm not the one in charge." Mrs. Liu felt extremely wronged and said while wiping away tears, "It was my biological mother who took the child away behind my back. I thought she returned it, but I didn't know she would do this. "
Village Chief Lin's eyes softened slightly, knowing that dragging someone to support him was not stupid enough.
He pretended to be furious, "Confused! Get him back quickly and ask questions!"
If today's matter is not explained clearly, how can he, the village chief, have any prestige in the future?
Ms. Liu's eyes averted, she shrank her neck and muttered: "I, I don't know where she went."
"I didn't know I couldn't find it!" Village Chief Lin was so angry that he wanted to kick her.
The person who injured Chen San was probably Shang Wan. Before I figured it out, how could this stupid woman dare to provoke Shang Wan? Do you also want to lie in bed for the rest of your life?
Suddenly, a boy from the Liu family ran over, shouting loudly as he ran, "Village Chief, someone is dead. Go to the river and take a look!"
Upon hearing this, everyone ignored the pending lawsuit in the Lin family and hurried to the river.
Shang Wan also followed with Yuanyuan in his arms. When no one was paying attention, he dropped a drop of spiritual spring water on each of Yuanyuan's knife edges and wrapped them with a clean handkerchief.
"It hurts." Yuanyuan raised her little hand to scream at Shang Wan, with a few tears hanging on her eyelashes.
Shang Wan lowered his head and blew gently, then kissed his cub, "Be good, it won't hurt in a while."
"Mom." The little baby girl nestled in Shang Wan's arms aggrievedly, her little mouth pouting, "I can't see...nest, look for it!"
Shang Wan was stunned and looked at Yuanyuan, "Did you run out to find me?"
Yuanyuan nodded her little head heavily, her voice soft and waxy, "I want to be cold!"
Shang Wan's heart softened when she heard that. He leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, "Don't run away next time. If you really want to come out, you have to take Xiao Hui with you."
When everyone came to the river, Liu's daughter-in-law, Wen Shi, hurried over holding the wash basin.
She and Mrs. Rong came to the river to wash clothes. While washing, an old lady suddenly floated in the water, and they were so frightened that they almost fell into the river.
After getting over the shock, the two of them used a mallet to pull the old lady over and drag her ashore.
The old lady was really miserable. Her face was scratched and she was covered in blood. Her clothes were scratched into rags by wild beasts. She had countless large and small wounds on her body. She was scratched and bitten. She was pitiful. .
Lady Rong took off her coat and covered her body.
"Qiu...Qiu..." Ms. Liu recognized the bracelet on the old lady's wrist and screamed in disbelief, "Qiu Xiaofeng!"
Chen Guifang was startled, and after a closer look, she recognized it, and immediately rushed towards her crying, "Mother!"
Everyone was in an uproar.
"Oh my god, how did she become like this?"
"Those injuries looked like they were caused by wild animals. Could it be that they fell into a wild beast's den?"
"Are you still angry?"
Shang Wan lowered his head and glanced at the little guy in his arms. The effect of trying his best was quite ferocious.
Yuanyuan wrinkled her round face, pointed at Qiu Xiaofeng and shouted excitedly: "Bad silver! Bad!"
Cut her with a knife, it hurts so much!
Everyone was attracted by the little milk sound. They saw the little milk baby wrinkled his face and shrank into his mother's arms while shouting bad guys. He was obviously very scared.
"Don't be afraid, mother is here." Shang Wan comforted her softly, thinking that the little boy had no idea that the old lady became like this because of her.
However, no matter how miserable it is, this old lady brought it upon herself. She will not throw Yuanyuan into the mountains to feed wild animals, nor will she be attacked and killed by small animals.
Dr. Yuan Langzhong was dragged to the river by Zhang Er. Without even breathing, he squatted down to check Qiu's pulse and breathing. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Let him be laid to rest as soon as possible."
"Mother!" Chen Guifang cried loudly while holding Qiu's body, "Don't leave me! Mother!" Lin Jianshui's eyes were red and he stepped forward to comfort her in a low voice.
Several aunts turned their backs and secretly wiped away tears.
Mrs. Liu was just about to cry out, but Village Chief Lin glared back.
"Village Chief, my boy picked up a hatchet, and there was still blood on it." Wen handed the hatchet to Village Chief Lin. She didn't know what happened to the Lin family yet, so she only guessed, "It should be Mrs. Qiu." I went up the mountain to cut firewood and was stared at by wild beasts, so..."
She sighed and did not continue.
"Knife!" Yuanyuan's eyes widened, her small body trembling as she stared at the hatchet, "Cut... the nest!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Everyone was stunned, looking at her frightened reaction, but they still didn't understand that this was the murder weapon that scratched Yuanyuan.
For a moment, the sympathy that arose in everyone's hearts because of Qiu Xiaofeng's tragic death faded a lot.
How could he have suffered such a misfortune if he had no evil intentions? It's all retribution!
Village Chief Lin took the hatchet with a stern face and said to Shang Wan: "I will definitely let the Chen family explain this matter."
Shang Wan curled his lips and poured all the dirty water on the dead man because he couldn't speak. It was a really good idea.
However, she doesn't mind watching the excitement when dogs bite dogs.
Shang Wan said: "Village chief, could you please tell the Chen family that my Yuanyuan family was injured and frightened, but suffered a big loss. Medical expenses, nutrition expenses, and mental loss expenses cannot be less. It can barely be counted as five." "Ten taels, please, deliver it to my house within three days, otherwise I don't mind coming to ask for it in person."
This is clearly a lion opening his mouth!
Village Chief Lin's face was ashen, and he took two deep breaths to calm down his anger, "The deceased is the most important, Yuanyuan only injured her arm, there is no fear for her life, you asked for fifty taels as soon as you asked, you are trying to make things difficult, you are so aggressive , aren’t you worried about being known as being mean and greedy for money?”
"Fame can't be eaten for a living." Shang Wan waved his hand to show that he didn't care, "Chen San has collected a lot of protection money over the years. It's only fifty taels, and the Chen family can pay for it."
The villagers originally wanted to help persuade him to make peace, but when they thought of the disgusting things Chen San had done in the village, they stopped trying to persuade him to make peace.
Village Chief Lin said with a dark face, "I will bring you the message. I hope you won't regret it."
The tone implies a threat.
"Don't bother the village chief." Shang Wan raised the corners of her lips. She would only regret it less.
Village Chief Lin turned away and asked the villagers to help carry Mrs. Qiu to Chen's house.
Mrs. Qiu gave birth to three sons and two daughters. The first two were both sons, but one died of illness and the other drowned. Chen San is now a disabled person again, and his daughter and son-in-law can only take care of the funeral.
Chen Guifang and Lin Jianshui went to help prepare coffins, shrouds, paper money and other funeral items.
After the villagers dispersed, Shang Wan asked Yuan Langzhong to go to his house to help Yuanyuan and Lu Chengjing look at their injuries.
Lu Chengjing and three others were waiting at the entrance of the small courtyard, one sitting and the other squatting. When they saw Shang Wan coming back with Yuanyuan in his arms, their hearts dropped to the ground, and their eyes became brighter than the other.
"It's all my fault for not taking a good look at Yuanyuan." Seeing the injury on Yuanyuan's arm, Xiaohuan was heartbroken and blamed herself so much.
Shang Wan said: "It can be considered a blessing in disguise."
Xiaohuan wondered: "What kind of blessing is this?"
Shang Wan didn't answer, and put the little guy who kept calling "Daddy" in his arms into Lu Chengjing's arms.
"Miss you Daddy!" Yuanyuan pursed her lips and smacked Lu Chengjing's face several times. After drooling all over her father's face, she looked at him with Xingxing eyes.
Daddy is so handsome!
Shang Wan: Good boy has good taste!
