A car accident, our family of three crossed

Some villagers from Shangtang Village went to the city to shop and brought back the rumor about the Wan family, which became the main topic of discussion among the people after dinner.

When the news reached the headman's house, He Tiesheng touched his legs which were still unable to move, and finally let out the anger that had been pent up in his heart for days.

He had not read much and could only recognize a few words. He had only a partial understanding of the laws of his dynasty, but he knew that if the Wan family was finally convicted of deliberate treason, it would be a serious crime punishable by death.

Little Wang came in with a medicine bowl, "Tie Sheng, it's time to take the medicine."

She was the one who heard about the Wan family's affairs in the village and then brought the news home. When she thought that the Wan family might be about to be in trouble, she felt proud and even the tone of her voice seemed much lighter.

The head of the village walked in thoughtfully and instructed: "The rumors about the Wan family are unusual. No matter what outsiders say, just listen to them and don't go out and gossip about them." He looked at his daughter-in-law meaningfully, for fear that the woman would have the habit of gossiping.

Little Wang was so nervous being stared at that she nodded quickly, "Yes, daughter-in-law knows."

"It's good to know."

The village head nodded and walked away with his hands behind his back. The Wan family was in trouble, and it would be a lie to say that he was not excited. The village head was eager to find someone to chat with, and unknowingly walked to the door of the Hang family.

"Uncle, why are you here!" Hang Shuheng invited the village head into the yard. Song Ning poured him a bowl of summer tea and then tactfully left.

The head of the village took a sip of tea and was silent for a long while before asking, "Have you heard about the Wan family's affairs? Shuheng, what do you think?" He was silent for a long time, and Hang Shuheng thought that there was something difficult to talk about, but he didn't expect that it was all about the Wan family.

After organizing his speech, Hang Shuheng analyzed, "The Wan family is now in a situation where everyone is pushing down the wall. There are many families that have been oppressed by the Wan family in the past. Whether they are merchants or ordinary people, I am afraid that no one would want to take this opportunity to trample the Wan family under their feet. So I think it is difficult for the Wan family to get away with it this time."

"What will happen if it can't be resolved peacefully?" The headman took a few sips of tea, his eyes full of excitement.

And Hang Shuheng's next words did not disappoint him, "In my opinion, if he doesn't die, he will be skinned alive. Uncle, just wait and see."

"Really? The Wan family has committed many evil things, and they finally got their retribution." The headman rubbed his hands excitedly. He still felt it was not real. "Shuheng, analyze it for me again."

Hang Shuheng paused and wanted to laugh. He thought that the head of the village was not unable to understand the twists and turns here, but he just needed someone to confirm this fact in front of him.

In this case, why not just do as he wishes? "Let's not talk about anything else. It's a fact that Wan Baolu threatened to become the local emperor of Pingyang County. He can't deny it. It depends on how the authorities judge it."

"Even if it is ultimately judged to be just a joke, Wan Baolu will still have to pay a price. The Wan family can either give up Wan Baolu for the sake of justice or spend money to avoid disaster. For the Wan family, either option would be a serious blow to their vitality."

He paused, took a sip of tea, and continued, "This is just an understatement. If the authorities insist on holding on to this matter and insist on convicting the Wan family of treason, such a serious crime, uncle, you understand, right?"

"At the very least, the family will be confiscated and exiled, and at the worst, the whole family will be executed..." The village head replied in shock. This was a situation he could not imagine. "Will it be that serious?"

"Who knows! Uncle, don't think too much. Let's just be spectators quietly. Come, have some tea." Hang Shuheng filled his tea bowl and made a final summary: "In short, Wan Baolu can't think of getting away with it. He has harmed so many people. There are many people who want to drink his blood and eat his flesh."

The rumors about the Wan family could spread to Shangtang Village, and naturally to more places.

In a village adjacent to Xiaoquan Village, in a small farmyard, a middle-aged couple were trying earnestly to persuade their son.

"Son, you can't go. We can't beat the Wan family. If something happens to you when you go, what will your parents do?"

"Even if you don't care about us, you should think about your child. He already lost his mother, and he can't be without a father..." The woman was holding a baby less than a year old in her arms, trying to use her grandson to regain her son's sanity.

The young man looked at the confused child and was a little moved, but he still hardened his heart and turned his head away, as if he had made up his mind and said: "Dad, Mom, I can't let my wife die in vain."

This family was the same family that was beaten out of Wanjiazhuang when they met them on their way back from Zhaojiagou to ask for help from a fortune teller.

The daughter-in-law of this family was abducted by Wan Baolu and raped at the farm. Unable to bear the humiliation, she chose to commit suicide by jumping into the river. A young life was lost just like that, and the Wan family just threw out a silver note of fifty taels to get rid of the matter.

At that time, the Wan family threatened that if they dared to make trouble again, they would kill their whole family. For the sake of their family, they had to compromise.

But the situation is different now. The Wan family is about to suffer retribution, and suing Wan Baolu at this critical juncture is the most appropriate opportunity.

However, the parents continued to persuade her, "We are sad that our daughter-in-law is gone, but you can't just die for this. If you die, how can we, the two old people, take care of a young child?"

"Son, don't go. We can't win, even if your parents kneel down for you."

When the two elders were so excited, they wanted to kneel down in front of their son. The man quickly supported them and said, "Dad, Mom, you are shortening your son's lifespan."

"We would rather you shorten your life in the future than die now. Listen to your mother and don't go. No matter how much retribution the Wan family suffers, we can't fight it." The old mother pleaded bitterly.

The man understood what his mother said. A lean camel is still bigger than a horse. They were not a team that could contend with it. But what if there were two, three, or even more families?

Since the incident, he has been secretly asking around for families that have been bullied by the Wan family or Wan Baolu, and has found many families that have suffered similar experiences to his own. He thought that if he could unite these families to sue Wan Baolu, he would have a great chance of winning.

At this moment, his first priority was to persuade those families to join him in suing Wan Baolu.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry. Your son's life won't be lost. I have already heard about some families who have suffered the same fate as mine. As long as we unite and file a petition at the county government, we will definitely get justice. Just stay at home and wait for news!"

After the man finished speaking, he hardened his heart, left his parents and children behind, and left without looking back...
