The cause of this is this:

Cheng Yuntian returned to his hometown Weixian to visit his relatives. He has a father, mother and a younger brother. He served in the army for many years and gave all his allowance to his family.

Cheng Yuntian's home is in a village on the outskirts of the county. This village is home to several big families, including the Wei, Liu, and Wang families. The Cheng family moved in later, but they have also lived here for thirty years.

Cheng Yuntian's neighbor was also a soldier. His surname was Wei, and his name was Wei Deguang. He died on the battlefield of the Peninsula. He left behind his wife Liu Fang and daughter Wei Mingli.

When Cheng Yuntian came back home that night, he heard a woman crying next door. He was puzzled. Cheng Yuntian's father, Cheng Ming, was an honest man with an introverted personality.

He sat on the side, smoking his pipe, sighing and saying nothing.

Cheng Yuntian's mother sighed.

"It's really a sin! Our neighbor's little Mingli is only fourteen years old, and she has been targeted by the county bully Li Quezi, who insists on marrying her.

But Li Quezi is already 32 years old, almost the same age as Mingli's father. Moreover, Li Quezi has married three wives, but they all died within two years. He told others that they died of illness.

But no one is stupid. How come all the girls died of illness after coming to his house? Everyone in the county knew that these wives were tortured to death by Li Cunzi.

I heard that Li Quezi is inhumane, so he can torture people in any way he can. Now, he has set his sights on Xiao Mingli and sent matchmakers to her house again and again.

Liu Fang refused to agree to anything, but she didn't dare to offend Li Quezi, so she had to use her young age as an excuse to delay the matter.

Who would have thought that Li Quezi found Mingli's grandparents, gave them 200 yuan, and arranged a job for Mingli's second uncle.

The old couple, blinded by money, agreed to the marriage against their conscience. In fact, everyone in the village knew that it was Mingli's second uncle who was taking advantage of his eldest brother's family.

Liu Fang is like crazy, she won't let the matchmaker in no matter what. I heard that Li Quezi will bring people to the house to snatch the bride tomorrow. The mother and daughter are left alone, what should they do?

Cheng Yuntian frowned and asked,

"Mom, who is this Li Guizi? What era is this? How can such a bandit and bully still exist?"

"This Li Quezi, his father is Li Tianping, the county magistrate of our Weixian. Li Tianping was away for 20 years, and unexpectedly he became the county magistrate after returning.

This time, not only his lame son, but also his aunts and uncles were all trembling. In our county, he was a tyrant and no one dared to mess with him.

Cheng Yuntian slammed the table.

"This is truly lawless. We are now in a new country and a new society. We will not tolerate the existence of such a cancer. Tomorrow I will meet this Li Guizi..."

His parents were shocked.

"Oh my Yuntian, we dare not cause trouble. This Li Kuizi relies on his father's power. No one in the whole county dares to offend him. We are a small family and we can't afford to offend him!"

Cheng Yuntian quickly comforted his father and mother,

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I just want to understand the situation and have a good chat with him."

He persuaded his parents for a long time and finally put their minds at ease, but Cheng Yuntian was also determined that he would see to the end of this matter...

Early in the morning, Cheng Yuntian was awakened by the crying in the next yard. He turned over and got up. The weather was hot and everyone had to open the windows and doors when sleeping. Any sound could come in.

Cheng Yuntian always wore casual clothes when he went home, and he also carried an old military uniform with him. He did not want to make his identity known to everyone.

He is an introvert by nature and doesn't like to show off. This kind of personality is actually a good thing, but in front of evil people, this personality will cost him his life...

Cheng Yuntian left the house and saw many villagers gathered in front of the gate next door, all of them laughing and watching the fun.

Cheng Yuntian walked over and those who knew him all greeted him. Knowing that he was a soldier in a big city and a cadre, they all came to curry favor with him, whether intentionally or not.

Cheng Yuntian ignored these people and walked into the courtyard of the Wei family. He saw an old woman lying in the courtyard, rolling around and throwing a tantrum, howling and cursing.

"Liu Fang, you bitch, you deserve a horrible death. You killed my son, and now you don't want our Wei family to be well. That money-loser will have to get married sooner or later, so why not marry someone who can afford the bride price?"

Liu Fang, Liu Fang, you are so stubborn! You married that money-losing girl off, and you married someone else while you are still young. This house is just right for us old couple to live in.

This is such a good thing, yet you are blocking her from getting married! What are you thinking? "

At the door of the house stood a mother and daughter. The daughter's frail body nestled in her mother's arms, and both mother and daughter shivered. These were Liu Fang and Wei Mingli.

They both looked terrified and a little miserable.

Liu Fang shouted in grief and anger,

"Mom, Lili is also your granddaughter. She is only fourteen years old, and you want to marry her to a thirty-two-year-old cripple? Besides, what kind of person is Li Cunzi? Doesn't everyone here know it?"

How did his three daughters-in-law die? Mom, don't you know? You're pushing your own granddaughter into the fire pit!

No, I absolutely refuse to agree. I swore to Deguang that I would raise Lili to adulthood and find her a good family. Mom, I'm telling you today, if anyone dares to touch my daughter, I will fight him to the death!"

The old woman kicked and rolled over, cursing loudly.

"You're a wife who keeps a man. If you give birth to that money-losing thing, sooner or later she will belong to someone else's family. You have to marry someone sooner or later, right? It doesn't matter who you marry, right?"

Besides, if that money-loser gets married, she can also get a job for her second uncle, and we old couple will have someone to rely on. Deguang’s spirit in heaven will also thank you…”

The old woman never mentioned Li Guizi's matter because she knew how immoral what she had done was. How could she have the nerve to say it out loud in front of so many people after doing such a bad thing?

At this time, an old man and a young man squeezed into the crowd. Cheng Yuntian saw that they looked familiar. He turned around and saw a middle-aged man next to him.

"Who is this?"

The middle-aged man was a little flattered and quickly replied,

"This is Wei Deguang's father and brother."

"Oh..." Cheng Yuntian nodded.

The old man and the young man came in together, looking at the old woman rolling on the ground, both of them had smiles on their lips, and they had to be damned, really strong, rolling on the ground? She was covered in dirt,

The old man's eyes rolled, he took two quick steps and knelt down in front of the mother and daughter.

"Daughter-in-law, I beg you, my old man, my eldest son is gone, and this son is the only one left. Whether we can survive in the future depends on him.

You don't want our Wei family to be without descendants, right? Lili, please have pity on your grandparents and save our lives..."

The little girl's face, which was not even as big as a palm, was covered with tears, which made people feel pitiful. She bit her lips and shook her head repeatedly.

Liu Fang cried and shouted,

"Dad, are you trying to force us to death? Lili is only fourteen years old. Don't you know who Li Quezi is? You are sending Lili to her death..."
