Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Sand in the Eyes
In the dical room, Yue Qingqing looked at Yue Xiaofang, who was silently shedding tears, and felt very uncomfortable.
She couldn’t help but sigh.
Originally, the family of Ma Jinbao swore that if they abused Yue Xiaofang, not only would their entire family suffer bad luck, but they would also be struck dead by lightning.
But the Yue Family had never anticipated that this family would actually harm their own flesh and blood.
Such an action was utterly beastly, yet it did not break their oath.
Lin Chunju sat by the bed, hugging her daughter’s shoulders and humming a song softly just like when she was a child, carefully soothing her.
...
Yue Xiaofang had lost the emotions she had shown earlier in front of the police and now leaned against her mother like a puppet.
Her expression was numb, yet tears continued to flow down her cheeks.
At that mont, the door of the dical room was pushed open, and the doctor ca in.
“Xiaofang, Village Chief Ma asked your family to go to the open space in front of the village committee,” he said.
Yue Jiandong and Lin Chunju exchanged glances, guessing that the police had probably found out the truth.
A bronze bell hung in front of the village committee, which could be heard across half the village when rung—used only to announce major governnt decisions.
Today, the harsh sound of the bell rang out again. The n of the village, busy with autumn harvesting, gradually returned and quickly gathered in the open space, while the won had been waiting there to watch the excitent.
A quick count revealed almost the entire village had shown up.
That was also the intention of Village Chief Ma.
Today’s matter seed to involve only the families of Yue Xiaofang and Ma Jinbao, yet it actually represented a wider issue worth discussing publicly.
The family of Ma Jinbao arrived first, flanked by two police officers on either side.
An iron shovel taken from their ho lay next to Ma Jinbao, and Ma Cuicui kept her head down, not daring to make eye contact with anyone.
As for Li Zhaodi and Ma Zhuzi, they seed calm but were sweating profusely upon closer inspection.
The villagers, not understanding the situation, began to talk among themselves.
“What’s the matter? Why did the village chief call us here?”
“It’s that family again, isn’t it about abusing the daughter-in-law again?”
The crowd that had followed them that morning provided them with the explanation.
“It’s more than that. If her family hadn’t arrived in ti, surely a life would have been lost,” one spectator explained vividly, causing a collective gasp.
“This family is utterly heartless. Yue Xiaofang is such a good daughter-in-law, and Ma Jinbao’s family are all beasts,” soone exclaid.
Having sharp ears, Li Zhaodi imdiately heard the comnts and yelled at the speakers, “Nonsense! What rubbish are you spouting? Yue Xiaofang, that wretched girl, gave birth to a loss-making child. She deserves to die.”
Before she finished her sentence, Li Zhaodi’s stomach was fiercely kicked, causing her to fall to the ground.
Lin Chunju straddled her, punching frantically.
This ti Lin Chunju was much more fierce. Li Zhaodi felt like her nose was about to break as blood trickled down, covering her face with a bloody ss.
When Ma Jinbao saw his mother mistreated, he raised his arm to strike Lin Chunju.
Before he could reach her, Yue Jiandong punched him square in the chest, making him feel as though his bones had cracked.
The villagers were agape, finding the scene eerily familiar.
However, although the Yue Family had fought fiercely before, they had always pulled their punches.
This ti, both Lin Chunju and Yue Jiandong were fighting with lethal intent.
The ground soon beca stained with dots of fresh blood. Ma Cuicui, terrified, scread incessantly.
Ma Jinbao and Li Zhaodi had no strength even to scream and felt they were monts away from being beaten to death.
Ma Zhuzi hurriedly turned to Ma Qiang, “Police comrade, they are beating people! Hurry… arrest them.”
Ma Qiang rubbed his eyes and asked Fang Ming, “The sandstorm is so strong this autumn. Could you see if there’s sand in my eyes too? I can’t see a thing.”
Fang Ming glanced at the two people gasping for air, coughed and said, “Not just you, my eyes seem to have gotten sand in them as well.”
