This voice suddenly became sharp, startling the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were talking.
Madam Zhou quickly walked out. “What’s going on? What happened?”
Chen Liang also came out of the inner room. The few of them came to the front yard and saw Jin Yuexiang sitting on the ground crying. “Village Chief, our Liangzi is in trouble. His legs were broken.”
Chen Liang and the others were shocked. Before they could react, they saw Hu Liang being carried into the courtyard.
Hu Liang looked terrible. The smell of blood on his body was extremely strong. His eyes were closed as he fell asleep.
Chen Liang quickly took a few steps forward. “What’s going on? Who hit him?”
Jin Yuexiang immediately pointed to a man who was being held by the Hu brothers. “That’s him. Liangzi came back with him.”
That person struggled angrily but did not break free. His face was ashen as he said, “You guys really don’t know what’s good for you. I was kind enough to send your son back, but you guys are blackmailing me. Bah, if I had known, I wouldn’t have cared about your son’s life.”
Jin Yuexiang got up and rushed over to grab the man’s face. “What did you say? Say it again.”
Chen Liang quickly called his wife and daughter-in-law to stop her. “What are you doing? He hasn’t said it clearly. Why did you attack?”
Then, he looked at the man and asked, “What exactly happened?”
The man snorted. “Uncle Chen Liang, I’m Kuan from the neighboring village. You should know my father, Jiang Fang. I’ve been working in the county city recently. This morning, 1 saw Hu Liang being thrown into the alley with blood all over him. 1 didn’t know what happened, so 1 brought him back out of kindness. Who knew that when 1 sent him to the Hu family and wanted to leave, they would invite a doctor while entertain me hypocritically. After the doctor said that he couldn’t keep his legs, the Hu family actually didn’t let me leave. They even said that I beat Hu Liang up and asked me to compensate. I’ve never seen such a shameless person. If 1 had known, I wouldn’t have cared about Hu Liang’s life at all.”
Jin Yuexiang shouted, “If it wasn’t for you, would you be so kind as to send him back? My Liangzi is so pitiful. Why did he meet such a heartless person like you? You’re going to be struck by lightning.”
Ah Kuan gritted his teeth. “The one who’s struck by lightning will be your Hu family. You raised a son who only knows how to steal. He deserves this outcome.”
“Village Chief, you heard him. He’s admitting that he did it.”
Madam Zhou and Madam Song could not help but roll their eyes. When did he admit it?
Chen Liang could not be bothered with her. He only asked Ah Kuan, “Then do you know who beat him up?”
Ah Kuan immediately fell silent. Chen Liang frowned. Seeing that Jin Yuexiang wanted to make a fuss again, he glared at her.
“Go ahead, Ah Kuan.”
“1-I’ve asked around.” Kuan hesitated for a moment before saying, “They said that Hu Liang’s legs were broken by the people from the Peng family.”
As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned. Even Jin Yuexiang seemed to have choked.
Kuan did not mention this at all just now. He only said that they would naturally know when Hu Liang woke up.
But how could it be the Peng family? The Peng family had no enmity with their family. What right did they have to break her son’s legs?
Jin Yuexiang was a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Kuan was alone. Although she was sad and heartbroken that Liangzi had broken his legs, she still wanted him to compensate her under the instigation of her two sons.
However, how would Jin Yuexiang dare to challenge the Peng family?
It was at this moment that Gu Yundong entered the village chief’s house..
