Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Around lunchti, the news of the incident had spread to the mountains where the brother and sister were working.
Hearing everything, tears welled up in Su Ning’s eyes, and he asked, “Is that real?”
Su Ping replied with anger, “I’m afraid it is true!”
When their brother-in-law first married their Elder Sister, he treated her kindly. However, as ti passed, she aged prematurely from the laborious work she endured without any ti for personal care. Their brother-in-law began to look down on her, even going to the extent of sleeping in separate beds, claiming she distracted him from his studies. This information ca from their four-year-old niece.
Su Ning couldn’t contain his emotions and broke into tears. “Our Elder Sister toils in the fields every day and embroiders late into the night, all to earn enough money for her husband’s education. But instead of appreciation, she receives beatings and scolding from him!”
Su Ping could not stand that any more. He started to pack the yams ho.
“I will go and take a look at Elder Sister’s ho. If that happens… I will not allow Elder Sister to be bullied for nothing!”
Though Qin Silong looked at him as if he were his enemy, yet he was willing to support his sister with Third Sister-in-law, which made the rumor even more true!
Elder Sister must have been beaten so badly that the news was spread all the way here.
Qin Silong was there, and as the younger brother, he should be there, too. Su Qing also put away the yams. “Second Brother, I will go with you!”
“Okay!”
Su Ping did not object. He told Su Ning and Su Cheng about these as well.
“You two, don’t follow us. You won’t be of any help. Be careful and don’t stay outside for too long. Dig more yams and we will call it a day. Just wait for our news at ho”
Su Ning nodded obediently. “Got it.”
“Second Brother, Fourth Brother, you have to protect Elder Sister!”
After Qin Zhenzhen had made the announcent, she and her Fourth Brother set off for Wang Village.
She estimated that the rumor would reach the mountains by lunchti.
Yam digging was a laborious task, and one adult could barely manage to dig 50 KG in a day. To save ti, they all brought rations for lunch and continued working in the mountains.
By the ti they arrived at the Wang Village, she and her brother would have saved Su Lan.
To avoid being recognized, Qin Zhenzhen and Qin Silong donned bamboo hats commonly worn by farrs. These hats covered half of their faces when lowered.
Upon arriving at Wang Village, Qin Zhenzhen used the original host’s mory to find Wang Yi’s ho but kept so distance from it.
Qin Silong inford her that Wang Yizhi’s neighbor was a bachelor in his 40s who had no family and only had to support himself. He was unpopular in the village due to his unattractive appearance and hooligan behavior. He was known to frequent brothels.
Wang Yizhi had sched with this man to set up a plan. He tricked Su Lan into borrowing sothing from the hooligan’s ho, and then the man tried to take advantage of her, leading to Wang Yizhi and the villagers catching them in the act. This incident apparently led Wang Yizhi to write the divorce letter in anger.
However, Wang Yizhi probably hadn’t anticipated that Su Lan would hang herself at the Wang Family’s ho or that their daughter would drown.
Qin Zhenzhen and Qin Silong were hiding near that hooligan’s ho.
After a while, they saw Su Lan arriving at the door of that hooligan’s ho.
“Brother Wang, do you have a hamr at ho? Can I borrow it?”
