Chapter 43: Exhausted
"Sang Cheng, it's not easy for your aunt to raise you up. I can understand that you want this house, but you are married after all. We are busy today, so you can go back."
Sang Cheng's eyes were red and swollen, and he shook his head stubbornly.
"If you don't eat a toast, you will be fined."
Sang Hui slapped Sang Cheng directly. He instantly felt the sky darken and fell to the ground. He didn't retain any strength at all, and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
The sound outside woke up Song Tingran. She quickly put on her clothes and rushed out. She ignored Sang Cheng on the ground, but grabbed Sang Hui's neck and slapped her back.
When Song Tingran slapped her, Sang Hui's face instantly swelled up. She tried to break free in disbelief, but she was not as strong as Song Tingran.
"How dare you hit me! I am an elder. If Sang Xue dies, I will be your mother-in-law."
Song Tingran only felt the noise, so he let go of her neck, and then opened his bow from left to right, slapping Sang Hui until she fainted.
Sang Hui's husband and son have never dared to fight back. Firstly, women are superior to men, and secondly, they are very timid.
After handling the matter, Song Tingran went to Fusang Cheng and found him snickering on the ground, feeling like a little fox that had stolen meat.
"Master Wife, they beat me, woo woo woo."
Sang Cheng entered the role very quickly. Last night, Song Tingran was worried that his dumpling character would not perform well. Now it seems that the only way is to surpass.
"Be good, I will avenge you!"
With such two simple words, the person opposite couldn't control himself. Sang Hui drank some water, woke up, and said weakly: "Go to the village chief to make the decision."
Her husband opened the door and ran out. Not to be outdone, Sang Cheng stood at the door of Sang's house and cried out his grievances. Soon, many villagers from Fenghua Village were watching.
No village can escape from this love of watching the excitement and listening to gossip, let alone such exciting things.
The village chief of Fenghua Village was quite old. He came with a cane and looked very anxious. The young man next to her didn't have the eyesight to even give him a little help.
"This is so early in the morning..."
The head of Fenghua Village was stunned when he saw it. Sang Cheng almost knelt down at her feet, bursting into tears.
"Village Chief, do you still remember me? I am Sang Cheng. These black-hearted people took over the house my mother left for me and threw me into Ping'an Town. I managed to survive with great difficulty. Please You make the decision for me!"
The village chief was also stunned, and quickly asked Sang Cheng to get up first. Song Tingran saw that it was almost done, walked over, and helped him up, who was about to faint from crying. The blood at the corner of his mouth had not been wiped yet.
Song Tingran quickly introduced herself, and then told the story preemptively. She expected that Sang Hui would resort to throwing a tantrum, so she struck first.
Sang Hui's husband helped Sang Hui out. Her face was swollen like a pig's head. The villagers were surprised when they saw her.
Village Chief: "Who shot this?"
"It's her!" Sang Hui's husband and son pointed at Song Tingran.
The village chief also looked at her again and asked, "Really?"
Song Tingran said unabashedly: "I did a good job, but it was Sang Hui who struck first and beat my Sang Cheng. Look at the corners of his mouth, there is blood oozing from them."
The village chief was fair and did not say that it was Sang Cheng who was already married. He turned to Sang Hui and asked, "Sang Hui, do you agree with what Sang Cheng and Song Tingran said?"
"I don't admit it. That was the house my sister left to me. I raised Sang Cheng for a long time. Then, for some reason, the child ran away. It's impossible to come back and ask for a house now!"
Both sides now have no evidence and are relying on red lips and white teeth. The village chief is also having a hard time handling it. Sang Hui's side continues to make a fuss, while Sang Cheng's side has calmed down.
Now that things are at a loss, the village chief is very upset when he hears the quarrel between Sang Hui and his family, and asks them to provide evidence so that it doesn't happen again.
When the time was almost right, Song Tingran stood up and said to the village chief, "Can I ask Sang Hui a few words?"
"Just ask."
Song Tingran stood upright next to Sang Cheng and asked Sang Hui expressionlessly: "You said Sang Cheng ran away on his own? So have you ever looked for him?"
"A young man disappeared in the middle of the night, and we didn't want to make it public. If his reputation was ruined, we would look for him privately."
"I'm surprised. Usually when a child disappears, the elders are anxious, for fear of meeting a bad person or getting lost somewhere. How could they directly conclude that Sang Cheng ran away? Why did he run away? He thought you were abusing him. Him, right?"
Sang Hui was speechless, glared at Sang Cheng, and said: "I don't know if it's my sister's habit. It's normal to run away if she dislikes not eating well or wearing good clothes. This is not the case now... I have climbed a high branch."
Song Tingran changed the direction and asked the villagers: "We are all old residents of Fenghua Village. How do you feel about this child Sang Cheng and how Sang Hui treats Sang Cheng? I think everyone should know something about it. Do you have any thoughts?" Do you want to stand up and be fair?"
Regarding this matter, Song Tingran didn't have much hope. After all, they were from the same village.
Wang Yulan squeezed out from behind and said hello to the village chief.
"Sang Xue is a good person, and his family is in good condition. Everyone knows this. Sang Cheng has been polite since he was a child and greets everyone he sees. What a good child he is. After being raised by Sang Hui, he doesn't have enough to eat or wear. Everyone knows it’s not warm, so why don’t you tell me.”
She took the lead in speaking, and a few others who were more moved followed her and said a few words of help, proving that Sang Cheng's life was not good.
"You people who don't distinguish between right and wrong, wouldn't you make a distinction if you didn't have your own children to raise at home? I don't believe it, you can drink a bowl of water!"
Everyone was silent, Sang Hui was right.
"Sang Xue and his wife suddenly died of illness. Could it be that the money left behind was not enough to support Sang Cheng and his hairpin? When Sang Cheng got married, no one wanted him because he was thin. May I ask how he was so thin and no one wanted him? What kind of suffering did he suffer? , I think, I’m going to go to your Changkou Town to find the mayor, find all the people from that time, and tell the truth, then you will tell the truth!”
When the village chief heard this, he realized that Song Tingran was going to make trouble in the town. Usually, this was something the village chief couldn't solve, so he would make trouble in the town. It would not be possible unless it was absolutely necessary.
The village chief tapped the crutch in his hand and asked Song Tingran: "You want to prove that Sang Cheng's life at his aunt's house is not good. What does it have to do with the house?" She was also a little confused.
Sang Hui's face was full of pride and she felt that she was sure to win.
"Village Chief, because I want to accuse Sang Hui's family of occupying the house and inheritance, and also abandoning Sang Cheng to Ping'an Town. This has a scientific name, which is called Chijuehu! But my Sang Cheng was blessed with great fortune and did not die here. Outside, we will get back everything that belongs to him today."
