Chapter 66 - 66: Paining Up
Zhou Lan glanced at Jiang Xia before saying, “They have to pay for Xiao Xia and Xiao Gu’s treatment.”
“What is it? You want us to pay for their treatment? Why?” The moment she heard Zhou Lan’s words, Madam Jiang exploded again.
“You’ve already destroyed my house, and you still want us to pay? Zhou Lan, you can continue daydreaming! I should have killed them back then! Money? No way! These two good-for-nothings are worthless even if I beat them to death!”
Madam Jiang’s words were immoral. This time, not only the Jiang Chuan and his wife but others were also dissatisfied, especially those who had girls at home.
According to Madam Jiang, she would beat the girls she didn’t like to death.
“Madam Jiang you shouldn’t be saying that. Worthless to the point of beating up? Are you still living in a feudal society? Now that the new Z Nation has been established, are you still following the rules of a feudal society?” A woman who was watching mocked.
She had two daughters and a son. All three children were treated equally. She hated families that looked down on their daughters the most.
“Isn’t that so? Madam Jiang, you can’t kill me just like that. There are laws now! I’ll send you straight to jail!” Another woman echoed.
The other villagers were also angered by Madam Jiang’s attitude. “Village chief, look at how stubborn Madam Jiang is. Why don’t we send her directly to the police station in town?”
The woman who spoke at the beginning was very smart. She did not point the finger at the Jiang family but at Madam Jiang instead.
Didn’t Madam Jiang look down on women? Wasn’t she targeting girls? Then let her experience the feeling of being targeted.
Hearing the villagers say this, Madam Jiang was a little afraid and hid behind her husband.
Jiang Fuand Jiang Gui didn’t dare to say much now. If it was just Jiang Chuan’s family, they could still quarrel a little. However, with so many people talking, Jiang Fu wouldn’t dare to say anything even if he had ten more mouths. They still had to live in the village!
“Madam Jiang, this is theft and intentional murder. In that case, I’ll contact the town to resolve it.”
The village chief didn’t want to waste his breath on the old woman. He turned around and was about to go back to write a letter when he was stopped by Jiang Fu.
“Chief, Chief, my old woman was just too quick with her words. She doesn’t actually think that way.” Jiang Fu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and quickly tried to salvage the situation.
Madam Jiang’s legs turned to jelly from the village chief’s words.
Seeing that the situation wasn’t right, Jiang Gui quickly said, “Yes! Chief, you know my mother. Sometimes, she doesn’t mean what she says. She doesn’t actually think that way.”
“You don’t think so? How badly had the child been beaten? If Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan didn’t see it last night, they would have been beaten to death!”
The person who spoke had seen the entire process of Madam Jiang’s actions last night and could not stand it anymore.
Jiang Gui glared at the man, who cowered behind the person beside him.
In this era where everyone could not eat enough, only Jiang Gui was bigger in size. It was difficult for people not to be afraid of the difference in physique.
“There are witnesses to this. Your old lady wanted to kill the two girls. If we don’t report for attempted murder this time, who knows what will happen in the future?”
The village chief did not give the Jiang family a chance to continue explaining. He was really tired of their excuses.
“Don’t! Chief, how can we bring the news of what happened in our village to the town? How about this, we will kneel to Jiang Chuan to admit our mistake. Does that work?”
Jiang Xia glared at the old man who had just spoken. The old man wanted to make her family look bad again. A father kneeling to a son would only label her father as unfilial.
Jiang Fu was about to pull Madam Jiang to kneel down when Jiang Chuan’s family quickly hid at the side.
The village chief was so angry by this family’s behavior that his hand trembled while pointing his index finger at Jiang Fu.
“Jiang Fu, your family will be locked up in this cell!”
As soon as the village chief said that, Old Jiang clutched his heart and fell back..
