Chapter 503: 503: Catch the Thief and the Goods (Part 6)
Dong Huiying thought for a mont before she promptly said, "Let’s report it to the Governnt Office."
Aunt Wang, this woman with a notorious character, could only be suppressed by the Governnt Office. "With complete evidence and witnesses, I believe the official will grant us justice."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang’s hands went numb, this thought making the common people naturally terrified of the officials. "I, I..." She tried to argue, but her words failed her.
Fubao quickly said, "Miss Dong! Please spare my mother this ti. My mother... she’s already very old. If we report this and she has to endure a beating, she might not survive..."
Fubao was busy pleading for rcy, but before Dong Huiying could respond, Dong Xinyuan retorted sharply.
"She can’t endure it? When she took those baskets initially, when she ate that at and grain, why didn’t she think whether my elder sister and brother-in-law could endure it?"
Dong Xinyuan’s eyes reddened, "My mother knew that my sister-in-law’s family was poor and was concerned that my sister would suffer if she married into it. She also knew my other brother-in-law was ill and constantly sick, which is why she hunted in the mountains day and night, trying to earn more money to prevent our family from suffering!"
By this ti, Dong Xinyuan’s voice was choked with emotion.
"For this, my mother spent most of this past year living in the mountains, rarely even returning ho to the Dong family, yet all her hard work was squandered by you! This is only because sothing happened to my elder sister and brother-in-law; had they actually starved to a misfortune, do you think I’d be here talking to you kindly?"
She roughly wiped her face with her sleeve, unwilling to let others see her cry and make a joke of her. But after wiping her face, she spoke fiercely and aggressively again, "Let
tell you, I’m laying it down here today; even reporting this to the Governnt Office is letting you off lightly! If I hadn’t co here and seen that my sister and brother-in-law were living well, if they were as emaciated as the other villagers, I, Dong Xinyuan, would tear you and your mother apart without hesitation! Did you really think the Dong family are easy to bully?"
"Don’t bother finding out; in Daliu Village, who dares to bully the Dong family? Let alone steal from us, even stepping on our territory, I, Dong Xinyuan, would break his legs!"
"Moreover, if it weren’t for my elder sister’s word, and that I must obey her, do you believe I could make it impossible for you to survive in your own village?"
Fierce and utterly intimidating, Dong Xinyuan was aggressive and threatening. She was neither easy-going nor kind-hearted; ever since her elder sister was sold to a human trafficker by an old woman, she believed a woman must be strong, especially as she had to protect her younger brother. She beca quite fierce. Honestly, if it wasn’t for her elder sister being bewitched into violence and confusedness, in terms of fierceness, she might not even compare to her.
Fubao shivered, truly frightened by Dong Xinyuan’s boldness.
Fubao desperately looked towards the Liang family mbers, first thinking of Fourth Brother Liang, Liang Haoming.
"Fourth Brother Liang..." she looked at this man as cold as ice, tears brimming in her eyes, but the man was unmoved, his eyes seed to hold no one else but Dong Huiying.
Unwilling to give up, she staggered over, trying to grab Liang Haoming’s arm, but given that Liang Haoming worked for the black market and Assassin Alliance, how alert was he?
