A car accident, our family of three crossed

Hang Shuheng spent some time in the alley. When he arrived at the city gate to meet Shuisheng, several villagers who had entered the city in the ox cart that morning were already waiting there. He was the last one to arrive.

"Sorry to keep everyone waiting."

The group got on the ox cart and staggered out of the city. When they returned to the village, they learned that a major event had happened in the village during the morning when they were away. The head of the village suddenly summoned everyone to the threshing ground and announced in public that he would resign from the post of head of the village for not managing his family well.

Although some families were ready to take action because of this, most sensible people were opposed to it and advised the head of the village to think twice. For the time being, the head of the village was persuaded to give in.

Hang Shuheng returned home and listened to Song Ning's story. He concluded, "The reason why the village head did this is probably to show us an attitude."

Xiao Wang almost caused Song Ning to fall into the trap of Wan Baolu and Zhang Cuiju, but the He family would never really divorce her just to make Song Ning calm down. They were quite surprised that the head of the village could do this. This might be the greatest sincerity he could show.

It has been several days since Hang Shuheng returned from the county jail, and the two families have not had any contact. Hang Shuheng has not found the time, and the headman's family may be too embarrassed to visit them.

Hang Shuheng thought, in the same village, they would see each other every day, and it was impossible for the two families to never see each other again for the rest of their lives! Besides, the head of the village was usually a very nice person.

So, after Song Ning made a pot of braised chicken with the two pheasants, Hang Shuheng took away a plate and went to the headman's house with a jar of wine.

Old man Xin was quite complaining when he saw that one of the two jars of wine he had bought was gone. But when he tasted the side dishes made by Song Ning, he immediately forgot about the unpleasant incident.

However, good food and wine seemed less interesting when eaten alone. Finally, the old man also took away a plate of chicken nuggets and went to find the old patriarch with the remaining jar of wine.

Therefore, the only people left at home for lunch were Song Ning and her son.

At the headman's house, the whole family was gathered in He Tiesheng's room. No one spoke for a while and the scene seemed a little dull.

Finally, it was the village head who spoke first: "Let's talk about the future later. You two should continue to live your life as usual. Husband and wife, don't talk about divorce or divorce all the time..."

He Tiesheng and his wife couldn't help but lower their heads when they heard this. He Tiesheng felt a little ashamed. Although he was angry, his words of wanting to divorce his wife were just angry words, and he didn't really want to divorce her.

Little Wang pursed her lips and wiped her tears secretly. She didn't expect that her father-in-law was willing to make such a big sacrifice in order to preserve their small family. She felt that she was so sorry for her father-in-law.

He Wang sighed and preached to Xiao Wang: "You made a mistake this time. I hope you will remember the lesson and behave yourself in the future. Live your life peacefully. Don't do such stupid things that hurt others and yourself again. Otherwise, even if Tiesheng is not happy, I, as your mother-in-law, will not let you stay."

"Yes, mother, I understand." Little Wang nodded with sobs.

He Chunsheng felt a little restless sitting there. He was not the one being scolded by his parents, so why should he stay in the room?

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the yard. He Chunsheng stood up suddenly and said, "I'll go see who's coming." After that, he was in the yard like a gust of wind.

Soon, a voice was heard, "Brother Shuheng, why are you here?"

"What, you're not welcome?"

"No, no, come in quickly!"

Inside the room, the head of the village heard their conversation and without caring about anything else, he quickly stood up and walked out, his steps somewhat anxious, "Shuheng, Shuheng is here!"

"Uncle, I bought two jars of wine today. I came to have a drink with you." Hang Shuheng shook the jar of wine in his hand, and handed the food basket in his other hand to He Chunsheng, "My wife happened to cook some snacks to go with the wine, so I took a plate and brought it over."

"Shuheng, just come if you want to. Why bring wine? Uncle has some wine here. Youngest brother, hurry up and help your brother Shuheng carry it."

"I'm not afraid to upset you, but your wine is not as good as mine." Hang Shuheng joked, and then asked, "Is Brother Tiesheng feeling better? I'll go see him."

"Come in quickly." The headman warmly brought Hang Shuheng to He Tiesheng's room and told He Wangshi, "His mother, hurry up and prepare some side dishes. I want to have a couple of drinks with Shuheng today."

He Wangshi wisely led Xiao Wangshi, who had been at a loss since Hang Shuheng came in, out, leaving the space in the room to the men.

He Tiesheng was sitting on the kang leaning against the wall. He was a little excited when he saw Hang Shuheng coming in: "Shuheng, you're here."

"Brother Tiesheng, how is your leg? Is it feeling better?" Hang Shuheng asked.

He Tiesheng touched his legs that were fixed with boards. "The doctor changed the bandage for me and I feel much better now."

Li Zheng said from the side: "This is all thanks to the doctor your wife hired through her connections. Shuheng, I really don't know how to thank you."

"So you are going to relieve yourself of the burden of being the head of the village?" Hang Shuheng chuckled. "Uncle, I already know what happened this morning. You are being too picky. You seem to be avoiding the problem by doing this."

The head of the village didn't expect him to say that. He was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said, "To be honest, I made the decision to resign after careful consideration."

"After Tiesheng's accident, I realized that I'm old now and have to think before and after everything I do. I'm not as decisive as you young people. It's good that the village is stable, but if something happens in the village, I can do nothing about it."

The head of the village said with a bit of frustration, "Tiesheng's leg was broken, and I was afraid of offending the Wan family, so I couldn't even hire a doctor. Then you were thrown into prison, and I was just worried and couldn't do anything to help. When you left, you entrusted your wife and children to us to take care of, but in the end, I couldn't even handle such a small matter, and let your wife suffer so much injustice... I'm sorry for you!"

He was unable to continue speaking, and shook his head, his eyes filled with tears.

He Tiesheng, who was sitting on the kang, had a face full of self-blame and guilt. "Shuheng, all of this is because of me. I am the one who has let you down the most. Since the accident, your wife has been taking care of us, but we turned our kindness into enmity, causing your wife to almost... I don't know how I can face you again."

"So? You are too embarrassed to see me, so should we just stop seeing each other forever?"

Hang Shuheng's words made them silent. They didn't want to have any contact with each other until they died. However, they didn't know how to resolve the knot between the two families.
