Chapter 30: Big things are reduced to trivial matters
"Sister Zhang, do I need to tell you this? Whose child is as white and plump as our Ping An? Sister Zhang, you don't know that even though our Ping An has only been born for a few days, he never cries. When he cries, it's either because he's hungry or he wants to go to the bathroom..."
When Zhang Guihua was about to brag about her eldest grandson Wang Ping'an, Wang Lin interrupted impatiently, "Enough, why are you talking about these nonsense? Sister Zhang, tell me, what happened to the Zeng family?"
Although he said that, if you look closely, you can still see a look of pride in Wang Lin's eyes.
His family is peaceful, which can be said to be his pride. No matter whether he is the reincarnation of a great man or he has rarely cried since he was born.
"What's wrong with me praising my grandson? Haven't you ever praised him in front of others?"
Zhang Guihua glared at Wang Lin in dissatisfaction, and then asked curiously: "Sister Zhang, what happened to the Zeng family that makes you so happy?"
Not to mention Wang Lin and Zhang Guihua, even Liu Dongzhu, who was silently watching Wang Ping'an, and Wang Ping'an, who closed his eyes and practiced the "Purple Qi Sutra" even though he knew what was going on, were curious about what happened next.
"Happy? Am I that obvious? No, Lao Wang, Guihua, you all misunderstood. I'm not happy. I'm just upset. Do you understand?"
Mrs. Zhang snorted in a pretentious manner, and then, fearing that she would be exposed, she hurriedly said, "Old Wang, Guihua, you all know about the Zeng family and Zhou Jinju, right..."
Before Mrs. Zhang could finish her words, Wang Lin interrupted her impatiently, "Sister Zhang, the big thing you are talking about is not the incident where Zeng Lian's grandson and other children in our village bullied Jin Ju's daughter, right?"
"What's the big deal about this?"
Mrs. Zhang smiled. What Wang Lin said was not the first time that they had discovered it. It was just that the entire Hutougou people were pretending to be deaf and dumb. After all, the Zeng family was large and powerful, and they had no relatives or friends with Zhou Jinju.
Naturally, he would not stand up for Zhou Jinju and offend the powerful Zeng family.
It's not a big deal if Zeng's children bully Zhou Jinju's children.
Wang Lin asked curiously, "If it's not this, what else could be the big deal?"
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Old Wang, you don't know that Zeng met that beast early this morning. He secretly followed Xiao Cao to the mountain, and he was holding a hoe!"
Wang Lin interrupted again, “Sister Zhang, do you mean that Zeng Lian, that beast, beat his niece Xiao Cao to death?”
"That's impossible. Although the Zeng family treated Zhou Jinju and her daughter very badly, they are still related, and Xiaocao is his niece. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Zeng Lian wouldn't do something worse than a pig or a dog, right?"
Zhang Guihua asked in surprise.
Liu Dongzhu interrupted, "If Xiaocao is gone, how will Jinju survive in the future?"
She was not a talkative person, especially after receiving the divorce letter sent back from the capital not long ago, her heart was severely hit and she became even more silent.
It’s just that Zhou Jinju’s situation is somewhat similar to hers, so she can’t help but speak!
"You all misunderstood. Zeng Lian was holding a hoe, intending to kill Xiao Cao, but he failed to do so, didn't he?"
Mrs. Zhang chuckled, as if she had thought of something. She glanced at the Wang family in surprise and said with emotion, "Speaking of which, I have to thank your family!"
"Thank our family?"
Wang Lin, Zhang Guihua, and Liu Dongzhu looked at each other with confusion on their faces, and asked, "What does this have to do with us?"
"No, grandma, can you please stop hesitating and finish your words in one breath?"
Wang Ping'an snorted in dissatisfaction. What Mrs. Zhang said was all he knew. He just wanted to know what happened after Village Chief Cheng arrived.
pity.
He knew that gossipers like Mrs. Zhang loved to exploit other people's curiosity the most.
"Don't you have a black cat at home? No, it's a civet cat?"
Before Mrs. Zhang could finish her words, Wang Lin interrupted her with a strange look on his face, "Sister Zhang, don't tell me that Zeng Hui was planning to kill his niece, and it was our black cat who arrived in time to save Xiaocao?"
"how do you know?"
Mrs. Zhang was startled at first, but then she realized that it was the information revealed in her words, and said, "Old Wang, do you know why Zeng Hui wanted to kill his niece?"
Wang Lin shook his head. Although he had a guess in his heart at the moment, it was hard to say it out loud.
Zhang Guihua asked in surprise, "Sister Zhang, why would Zeng Lian want to kill his niece?"
"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay!"
Liu Dongzhu was relieved, although he was also very curious about what had happened that would cause Zeng Lianhui to harm Xiaocao's life.
But she was more concerned about Xiaocao's life. She looked down at Wang Ping'an who was 'sleeping' in the cradle and said with a smile:
"Our Ping An is really capable. He is the reincarnation of a kind man, and he attracts kind cats!"
"Dongzhu, you are right. Ping An in your family is very likely the reincarnation of a kind-hearted person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have attracted a black cat that can save people!"
Mrs. Zhang praised him. These days, the news about the Wang family has been spread a lot in Hutougou. Some people also said that Wang Pingan was the reincarnation of the great man Wang Pingan, but neither she nor others took it as a compliment.
Not serious!
Now it seems...
Maybe it's true!
really.
How could the child born by the third place winner be an ordinary person!
"Sister Zhang, do you even need to tell me this?"
Wang Lin snorted, his face full of smugness, and he couldn't wait to say: "Let's stop talking nonsense, you should tell us what happened. Zeng Lianhui wanted to kill his niece!"
"What else could it be? Of course it's for the few acres of land given to Zhou Jinju!"
Mrs. Zhang sighed.
"Just a few acres of land..."
Wang Lin opened his mouth subconsciously, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that in his entire life, he had seen many cases of brothers turning against each other over division of land, and even uncles killing their own nieces for land.
It is an outrageous thing, but not too outrageous and it is possible to happen.
Wang Lin changed his words and said, "How dare Zeng Hui, that beast, admit such a serious matter? Isn't he afraid of death?"
"He wanted to deny it, but with the village chief questioning him again and again and Zhou Jinju beating him to death, it was difficult for him to deny it!"
Mrs. Zhang chuckled, as if she had thought of something funny, and said, "Guihua, you didn't come out, otherwise if you saw Zeng Hui being carried back, you would definitely not recognize him. He was beaten beyond recognition by his sister-in-law."
"I really didn't realize that Zhou Jinju was so timid but her moves were so ruthless!"
"Her daughter is about to be killed. How can she not hate that beast Zeng Hui?"
Zhang Guihua snorted, not caring about it. She asked curiously, "The village chief had Zeng Hui carried back. Is he going to send him to the county government office?"
"That's not true!"
Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said, "I heard that the village chief had Zeng Hui sent back home and there was no funeral for him!"
Wang Lin frowned and said, "Zeng would do something worse than an animal, so you're just going to let it go like this?"
Mrs. Zhang said, "I heard that the village chief is going to ask the Zeng family to pay a large sum of money to compensate Zhou Jinju!"
"Zeng Huidu almost killed her daughter. Can she agree to this?"
Liu Dongzhu said a little angrily.
Mrs. Zhang sighed slightly and said, "She and her widow will have to live in Hutougou in the future. If she doesn't agree and sends Zeng Hui to death, the Zeng family will most likely not let them go. What can she do?"
