The whole family stocked up on supplies two years in advance, so they could live a life of luxury wh

Wang Jinsheng picked up a big stick and went to his second and third brothers' houses in a menacing manner. He gathered his two brothers together and headed towards the clan chief's house.

Along the way, after hearing about the massacre of Xiuxiu's family, the Wang family members all picked up big sticks and followed behind Jinsheng.

One of the men cursed:

"Damn it, the people from Xinghua Village are bullying us too much."

"They're the ones who harmed Xiuxiu's family, yet they claim Xiuxiu attacked people with an axe—how is that possible?"

Another man chimed in with a curse:

"Xiuxiu is a girl I've watched grow up. How could she possibly kill someone? She must have been bullied by the people of Xinghua Village. Today, we must go and get justice for Xiuxiu."

Another woman, holding a stick, shouted:

"Xiuxiu and I grew up together. Don't I know her personality? She's afraid to kill people, let alone kill pigs or chickens. The people of Xinghua Village are really too bullying."

"When they bully Xiuxiu, they are bullying our Shishan Village."

"Yes, bullying Xiuxiu is bullying us."

The people of Shishan Village held their big sticks high, waiting for the clan chief's order to go to Xinghua Village to seek justice for Xiuxiu.

As for the clan chief, he already knew about it last night.

The officials went there last night, but they still don't know what happened. It's not worth causing trouble just for a married woman.

Seeing that he was frowning, Granny Wu whispered to him:

"Old man, think about it, there's actually something to gain here. It's fine if you take them to Xinghua Village, just don't rush in when they're beating people up."

The Wang family patriarch paused, then turned to look at his wife, puzzled, and asked:

"What's the point of this? What we're getting is all from the Jin family anyway, what does it have to do with us?"

While picking vegetables, Granny Wu analyzed the situation for him:

"Old man, think about it. The people of Xinghua Village are in the wrong. If we exploit their weaknesses, we can make them compensate us. The compensation can be large or small."

"I understand everything you're saying, but what can we get from it?"

"Old man, don't forget the river in Xinghua Village. Whether it's a drought or not, there's always plenty of water. If we could bring that river to our village..."

Alternatively, we could get them to agree to let us use that river.

Wouldn't it be more convenient for us to use water when spring comes?

And if this works out, won't the people in our village be grateful to us?

"First, we got justice, and second, we received compensation, so the whole village benefited."

"This way, your position as clan leader is very secure."

The Wang family patriarch nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. His wife was quite capable; after all, everyone knew that the people of Xinghua Village were very poor, and it was unrealistic to expect them to come up with money.

But this river is different.

If he can get the right to use the water, they won't have to worry about water next spring, and they won't have to fetch water from a faraway place.

"Okay, I reckon Jin Sheng and the others are already waiting outside."

The voice just fell.

"Knock knock knock~"

An urgent knocking sound began.

He gestured towards the gate, and just as Granny Wu was about to speak, the eldest son from the west wing had already taken the lead and walked towards the gate. "Father, I'll open the door."

When Wang Jinbao opened the door, he found that the Jin brothers were indeed standing outside.

he asked:

"Jin Sheng, are you here to see my father because of your sister?"

Wang Jinsheng nodded. "I really can't swallow this. It's mainly because my sister died so tragically, and my three nephews also lost their lives. As the older brother and uncle, I feel terrible."

I have to stand up for them.

Wang Jinbao sighed, "I've heard about it. Xiuxiu is really pitiful. Let's go inside. My father is waiting for you."

Let's go!

Wang Jinbao led the way, and soon the group entered the inner room. Just then, the Wang family patriarch came out of the inner room and saw his son bringing Jinsheng, Yinsheng, and the other children over.

He spoke first:

"Jinsheng, I know about Xiuxiu's situation. As the head of the Wang family, I will not stand idly by. Although Xiuxiu is a married-out daughter of the Wang family, she still bears the surname Wang."

"Uncle won't ignore this."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jinsheng choked up. "Clan leader...you...you watched Xiuxiu grow up. She was murdered, leaving her childless and dead. I...I am heartbroken."

"I know you're upset, and I'm not feeling good either. Don't worry, I will definitely get justice for Xiuxiu."

"Thank you, Uncle. As Xiuxiu's older brother, I must avenge her."

"She...she died such a tragic death."

As he spoke, Wang Jinsheng's eyes reddened. He thought about how he had raised his sister since she was a child, and how he would carry her on his back when he went to cut pig feed. Who would have thought that she would be gone like this?

"A real man doesn't cry. Come on, Uncle will take some men to Xinghua Village right now."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jinsheng immediately forced back his tears. He gripped the large stick and followed the clan chief to the ancestral hall.

soon.

Most of the people in Shishan Village gathered at the Wang Family Ancestral Hall.

The head of the Wang family raised his hand towards the ancestors in the ancestral hall and said loudly:

"Today, before the spirits of our ancestors, I tell all the ancestors of the Wang family that I, Wang Baoshan, will seek justice for the married Queen Xiuxiu. She was murdered innocently, and as the clan leader, I must stand up for her."

"Yes, we are all members of the Wang family. We must seek justice for Xiuxiu."

"Chieftain, if you give the word, we'll head to Xinghua Village right now."

The Wang family patriarch raised his hand and gave the order:

"Each family should send one or two men; women are not allowed to participate. This is a matter for the men, young and old. Those who need to go home and call for help should go home and call for help; those who need to bring weapons should bring weapons."

"Meet under the willow tree at the village entrance in fifteen minutes. No one is allowed to skip it or dawdle."

Whether Xiuxiu can get justice depends on you.

The voice just fell.

The women of the Wang family all offered their support:

"Don't worry, clan leader. We'll go back and find the men now, and they'll get justice for Xiuxiu."

"Yes, Uncle, we Koreans are all ready, just waiting for your command."

"Uncle, we'll come over and wait for you now."

Looking at his passionate family members, the Wang family patriarch said loudly:

"Good, as expected of someone from the Wang family."

"Uncle will go and wait for you now."

"Come on, come on, come on, Uncle, we'll go with you now."

soon.

A large group of villagers gathered at the entrance of Shishan Village.

They were all carrying big sticks, ready to set off at any moment.

the other side.

Some villagers who were on good terms with Xinghua Village rushed over to inform them that the Wang family from Shishan Village had gathered a large group of clansmen and said they were coming to Xinghua Village to seek justice for Wang Xiuxiu.

At this moment, a group of men and women from Xinghua Village gathered outside Zhu Dadan's house.

Li Fusheng originally wanted to go to Shishan Village to clarify things, but Li Laosan and others wouldn't let him go. Li Laosan glanced out of the village and said, "The Wang family has never been reasonable people."

"Now that Wang Xiuxiu is dead, all three of her sons are gone. If you dare to go over there, they will beat you to death."

"Third Uncle is right. Why don't you go to the back of the village to take shelter for a while?"

"How can that be? If I hide, wouldn't that be telling the Wang family that we killed Wang Xiuxiu?"

"No, no, we still have to go."

The doctor had already treated the injured man. He followed the old steward with his head down, listening to the affairs of Xinghua Village without saying a word.

The old butler shook his head as he listened to the young girl's father's words:

"I've heard that the Wang family in Shishan Village has a large number of members. If you go there rashly, you'll surely suffer losses. You'd better hide!"

"If needed, I can immediately ask my master for help."

Li Fusheng looked at the old housekeeper gratefully and said:

"Sir, my Xing'er hasn't returned yet, so please go back first. I'll tell her what happened when she gets back. We know how to handle things here, so we won't trouble you any further."
