The child crawled away, but when the doctor arrived, Peng Yang's wife had already died of heavy bleeding due to untimely treatment.

His sister-in-law insisted that his wife fell down by herself, and even went to the grandparents next door to threaten them not to talk nonsense. It would have been better if she hadn't said anything. When she opened her mouth, the little boy next door was frightened by her hideous appearance and burst into tears.

The child hugged his grandmother with a straight look in his eyes and his little body was shaking like a sieve. This made the old lady next door very angry.

The old lady pointed at her sister-in-law's nose and cursed her, directly telling the cause of death of Peng Yang's wife. She also swore that if she told a lie, she would be struck by lightning and die a miserable death.

Now, things have gotten really out of hand.

The Peng family felt guilty and wanted to bury Peng Yang's wife in a hurry. Upon hearing the news, people from Peng Yang's wife's family rushed over and wanted to settle accounts with his entire family, especially his eldest sister-in-law.

The parents, uncles and aunts of the children next door also wanted to settle accounts with Peng Yang's sister-in-law - she first killed her own brother's wife, and then went to threaten the old lady next door, and the little kid in that family was almost scared to death by her.

The child not only cried loudly during the day, but also had a fever at night. The neighbors called in a doctor and consulted a fortune teller, and after a lot of trouble, the child finally survived.

The child's family couldn't get over this and came to the house and made a big fuss.

The Peng family was in a state of panic. Peng Yang's sister-in-law was slapped twice by his eldest brother, but in the end, he and his parents decided to save Peng Yang's sister-in-law's reputation for the sake of his two children.

They paid compensation to their next-door neighbors and found a middleman to help mediate the dispute. In exchange for compensation, they settled the matter privately with Peng Yangyue's family.

Ordinary people were unwilling to deal with the government, and the Yue family of Pengyang was no exception. Furthermore, the middleman hired by the Peng family was the head of their two villages, and it was difficult for the Yue family to offend the other party. In the end, the Yue family of Pengyang accepted the Peng family's suggestion of a private settlement.

They took twenty taels of silver and left, no longer pursuing the cause of their daughter/sister's death, allowing the Peng family to announce to the public that she had simply fallen accidentally.

Although everyone in the village knew what happened, the girl's family did not pursue the matter. They certainly would not have nothing better to do than to help Peng Yang's wife report to the police.

Therefore, although Peng Yang's sister-in-law, who killed someone, was beaten and never received a good look from her parents-in-law at home, and was pointed at and talked about when she went out, she did not kill Peng Yang's wife just because she was caught by the neighbors while committing the crime.

Even because Peng Yang was "useless", his parents not only did not think of giving him an explanation, but instead set their sights on the money in his hands.

Their idea was very simple. They had raised their son to such an age, they couldn't afford to lose money. Since Peng Yang was already disabled, it would be better for them to get back the money they had spent on raising their son as soon as possible.

As long as they have money, no matter they live with their eldest son or their second son in their old age, the younger generations of both families will have to serve them carefully.

Peng Yang was completely disheartened and no longer had any hope for his parents and brother. He wanted to report the crime to the authorities and bring the murderer to justice, but as time had passed, he could no longer find strong evidence. The old lady next door, who was an eyewitness, refused to take her grandson with him to go to the government to file a complaint. In the end, he could only use his poor mental state as a threat and sign a document of severing ties with the rest of the Peng family in the presence of the head of the village and the elders.

His parents and brothers did not mind severing the relationship with him. In their opinion, Peng Yang had already lost three fingers on his left hand, and his willingness to sever the relationship with them was helping them avoid trouble. However, they proposed that Peng Yang must first hand over the money he had as retirement money for his parents.

Peng Yang went crazy. He rushed into the woodshed and grabbed the hatchet. "Forget it. I've been kissing her non-stop. I'm going to chop this vicious woman and her two kids to death right now!"

That vicious woman killed his wife and children, so he killed the other woman and her son in revenge. No one can say he was wrong!

Peng Yang's parents and elder brother rushed over to stop him, but Peng Yang didn't show any mercy and swung the hatchet with great vigor, scaring his parents and elder brother so much that they rolled and crawled away.

His parents accused him of being unfilial, but he said, "Only when a father is kind can a son be filial! You protected the murderer who killed my wife and children, and you still expect me to be filial to you?"

His parents were speechless, and fearing that he would really kill their precious grandson in a fit of rage, they had no choice but to let Peng Yang leave with the money, looking aggrieved.

When the people in Pengyang Yue's family heard that he had returned and had gone crazy and made a big fuss at home, they were so scared that they didn't even dare to show their heads.

They were worried for several days, fearing that Peng Yang would come to their house because they took money to settle the matter, but in the end, Peng Yang did not go to their village at all. He paid homage to his wife and children, and then left with Jiang Bei who came to visit them.

The young man who brought his family with him was named Han Ding. After his right arm was injured, he could no longer do heavy work or lift heavy objects, so after returning home, he was quickly driven out by his parents and brothers in the name of "dividing the family."

Not only did his parents not give his family anything, they also took away the disability allowance given by the government that he brought home.

The elders of the Han family couldn't stand it anymore and put pressure on his parents. Finally, his parents returned his disability allowance, but still did not give him any house or land.

In order to prevent the elders in the clan from continuing to attack them, they said that they planned to keep the house and land belonging to Han Ding for their own retirement.

In return, they will no longer ask Han Ding's family for pension money in the future, and Han Ding's family does not have to give any honor to them during the New Year holidays. Even if they are sick or dead, Han Ding's family does not have to provide any manpower or money.

To put it bluntly, they felt that Han Ding was useless and would only be a burden to their family in the future, so they simply kicked him out.

The elders of the Han family were very angry, but there was nothing they could do to deal with his parents who were determined. In the end, they could only help him write a document to divide the family, stating that his family would not have to give pension money to the two old people in the future, nor would they have to give them any honors during the New Year holidays. Even if the two old people got sick or died, his family would not have to send anyone or money.

When they arrived in Jiangbei, Han Ding's family had already gone to stay at his father-in-law's house.

His father-in-law's family didn't mind them living in their house, but they themselves were very anxious to move out - his father-in-law's family was poor, had few houses, and not enough food, and they were really embarrassed to live there permanently.

Jiang Bei asked around and went there. When Han Ding heard that he had a suitable job to introduce to him, he immediately decided to go to Baijia Village with him.

Han Ding's wife and children looked at them eagerly, feeling both happy and nervous.
