Chapter 1257: Chapter 1257: Are You Afraid of Retribution?
“Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about?” Ma Xiulan somehow found the strength to break free from Su Dachun, with eyes red and hair and clothes in disarray as she yelled at Song Jiaming, “Don’t spout nonsense, Su Xuewen was born to me, and so were Su Qing and the others, my own granddaughters.”
The people around were all stunned, and the looks they gave Ma Xiulan became very strange.
Some had a sudden realization and said, “No wonder she was so excessively biased.”
“So that’s how it is.”
“I always said that Ma Xiulan treated Xuewen and his family like enemies, not like her own flesh and blood.”
The statement by Song Jiaming just now wasn’t a surprise to the villagers; instead, they believed it immediately. Over the years, Ma Xiulan and Su Dachun’s behavior had been too outrageous, harshly treating Xuewen and indirectly causing the death of Xuewen’s wife.
Had it not been for her extreme preference for sons over daughters, repeatedly cursing and insulting Xuewen’s wife while Xuewen was not home, causing Xuewen’s wife to never properly recover from childbirth, leaving her with a host of ailments. Her health continued to deteriorate, and Xuewen’s wife even attempted to have a son in her efforts.
The one who truly caused the death of Xuewen’s wife was not Little Sister, but Ma Xiulan.
The villagers had seen all these things happen, and though previously confused, they now finally understood.
Besides these, the other outrageous things Ma Xiulan had done could not be fully told even in three days and three nights.
Third Grandma became increasingly ashamed, unable to lift her head.
Many of the village’s elders felt the same as Third Grandma. Some people noticed the elders’ unusual behavior and found it strange. Among them was Li Youcai, the village chief, who though a peer of Su Xuewen, did not know the truth either.
However, having the smarts to become the village chief, he guessed the situation by now. The more he thought about it, the more he discovered, and in the cold weather, Li Youcai broke out into a sweat of terror down his spine.
How could this be?
So the village he managed and took pride in had such malice behind it?
What kind of retribution would they receive?
At that moment, Li Youcai suddenly couldn’t stand still, stumbling and almost falling to the ground. Fortunately, he was caught by someone, but when he saw who it was that caught him, he almost wished he hadn’t been.
It was Zhang Chunxiang.
“Village Chief, are you afraid of retribution?”
Since being pushed to her limits by Su Xuewu and Su Pingfan, Zhang Chunxiang had lost all her inhibitions. Now, everyone in the village both feared and pitied her. Because Su Pingping had run away, and in an attempt to make some money, Su Xuewu even considered selling Zhang Chunxiang.
Although the money wasn’t as much as with Su Pingping, it was still some money.
But Zhang Chunxiang was no pushover; she fought fiercely with Su Xuewu, scratching his face until it was a mess, and eventually made Su Xuewu too scared to consider harassing her again, and recently he stopped coming home altogether.
As for what he was doing, no one specifically knew.
“Do you know?” Li Youcai asked Zhang Chunxiang in terror.
“I know! Hahaha…” Zhang Chunxiang laughed crazily, “Actually, the retribution has already begun, it’s just that no one has noticed yet. Just wait! No one in the whole village can escape. All three major families of Trinity Village participated. Otherwise, why would the three families be so united! Hahaha…”
This time, Li Youcai’s vision went dark, and he fainted.
But even though he fainted, he couldn’t avoid it; Zhang Chunxiang quickly pinched his philtrum forcefully, waking him up.
“You don’t want to miss this exciting scene,” Zhang Chunxiang said, her mental state looking a bit mad.
