Chapter 97: Chapter 98: Move All
It wasn’t long before the village chief of Sha Village arrived. Upon seeing Sang’s mother sitting on the ground, wailing and pounding her leg incessantly, and Sang Family’s two sons with forced smiles on their faces, he became discomposed. As for the two daughters-in-law, they probably found the situation too shameful to even show their faces.
“It’s just as well that you’re here, uncle, someone recognized the village chief of Sha Village. This is also their reason for coming here. Nowadays, people from your Sang Family are coming to our village to beat children. Look at the child they’ve beaten.”
Tang Yuxin was also very helpful, opening her large, teary eyes. Such a pitiful little appearance made everyone who saw her hearts ache. They all thought if their own child was beaten, they would fight against the perpetrators too.
“What do you think we should do?”
The village chief didn’t want to interfere anymore. This event was a complete loss of face for their entire Sha Village. An entire village had come to make a ruckus here and they were the ones at fault still.
Tang Yuxin lifted her tiny face, tears streaming down without stopping. Added with the blood-soaked gauze on her head, she looked just terribly pitiful.
“Our home was washed away, we have no tables or chairs left.”
Even though her voice was small, at this moment, it sounded very clear and sharp to the adults around.
“Right,” a person from Li Tang Village pointed to the furniture inside.
“All these things originally belonged to the Tang Family. Now, our village has been washed away by the flood. We do not want anything from your Sang Family. Just return the things you took from Tang family, that’d be enough.”
“How can this be possible?” A middle-aged woman ran out from the inside, she was stout with a face full of flesh. Everyone else was so thin that they looked like skeletons, but she was so fat that she looked like she was oozing oil. It would be a lie if she claimed she didn’t steal and eat, even a ghost wouldn’t believe her.
“But these are all ours.”
“Yours?” An aunty reached out and shoved the fat daughter-in-law. If you’re stubborn, others can be even more stubborn. These things were put together by Zhinian, one piece of wood at a time.
“You Sang family and all the shameless things you did, don’t think others don’t know. We didn’t take you to the police only because Zhinian was kind-hearted. Otherwise, just for Sang Zhilan’s affair alone, we would never forgive you.”
With those words out, both the villagers fell silent.
The fat aunty twisted her mouth, “I don’t usually blabber about, but I really can’t stand this today. I have seen your whole family talking and laughing with the man from the city. You are so shameless to cheat on your husband and even use Zhinian’s things.”
Listening to these words, Tang Zhinian accepted the sympathy from others. But such sympathy felt like slaps on his face. He felt like a cuckold, getting his head so green it seemed like it was going to blossom.
He originally didn’t want to pursue this matter, but hearing these words, he gritted his teeth. Looking at his daughter in his brother’s arms, he became angry and gutsier.
Today, he was firm about moving these things. Everyone was making a cuckold of him, and he still had to deliver these things to others. Zhinian might be easygoing, but he wasn’t a fool.
Move, move everything. Everything that belonged to him, Tang Zhinian, he wanted to take it all away.
Several young men in the village immediately rolled up their sleeves and began moving the furniture, pots, utensils. Whether it was Tang Family’s or not, they moved it all.
Tang Zhinian took his daughter from Tang Zhijun’s arms. He just looked coldly at the Sang Family. Any feelings he might’ve harbored for them had now completely vanished.
