Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Leave Me a Way Out

She has always been timid, and immediately grabbed Lv Qinlan’s hand, "Elder sister-in-law, look, have they committed murder?"

"Hmph, if they can do this to their own family members, what’s to say about someone else’s child."

"Lord, murder has been committed, Lai Zi’s family killed Shirley, heartless and wicked beasts, they beat their daughter-in-law to death, they’re going to end up in jail, someone come quickly, help!"

"Liu Sanjin, you old undead thing, shut your mouth, when did she die, she’s still alive and well!"

Lai Zi’s mother, originally scared, was even more terrified seeing the blood on Shirley’s face. She rushed towards Liu Sanjin, and the two old ladies were about to start fighting, when Wu Xianglan suddenly rushed over and grappled with Lai Zi’s mother, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law immediately began battling.

Seeing his own wife being attacked, Lai Zi’s father reached out to grab Wu Xianglan’s hair, but Lu Jiasheng and Lu Changzhu immediately restrained his arms.

Shen Shoutian and his companions had been eyeing Lai Zi since early on, waiting for the fight to erupt to give this shameless dog a good lesson. Once the fight started, they couldn’t wait any longer, three of them went up and grabbed Lai Zi and began hitting him.

Lv Qinlan and Su Xiaomei were also not idle, they took off their shoes and started hitting Lai Zi’s family’s faces, finding gaps to strike.

So many people were fighting, and as a mother, Shen Meng wasn’t idle either, she took Ming Liang and a few children with her to Dezi’s side, and caught him as he tried to flee.

"Let go of me, let go of me, you wicked woman, if you dare touch me, I’ll have my father and grandparents beat you to death, go away you disgraceful widow of a bankrupt brother, let go of me, release me."

"Slap, slap!"

Shen Meng slapped him twice on the head, she had just heard how this heartless little brat was instructing his father and grandparents to beat his own mother.

"Shut up you little brat, you troublemaker, you dare to bully my Ming Kai, today I’ll let you know just how tough I am, son, however he bullied you guys before, you return the favor now, your parents will back you up."

"Okay."

"Ah~ sob, sob, you dare to hit me, you few scroungers, beggars, you dare to hit me, sob sob sob..."

Mingyang has always been someone who acts first and talks later, Ming Liang bared his teeth full of excitement, Ming Kai, who had been standing aside avoiding the fight, took a roundabout way and came over, and a few children instantly surrounded Dezi, throwing punches and kicks.

Lu Debang and Zhang Hongfa seemed to have timed their arrival as they came when Lu Zhenping was separating the fighters, sweating profusely.

"Stop fighting, anymore and there will be trouble, enough, enough, give me face, let’s end it here big brother."

"Dad, mom, you’re at such an old age, Xiao Meng is ignorant, can’t you be wiser? Even if Lai Zi is in the wrong, there’s the production team’s leadership to support us!"

"They committed murder, it’s their fault, they should be the ones in prison, not us. It’s alright, Ming Liang, Ming Fang, you guys weren’t involved either, don’t run off alone with Dezi. You didn’t fight with Shitou and the urinal last time either, forget it, listen to Dad!"

The two village officials coughed awkwardly upon hearing his words. One played the good cop and the other the bad cop, giving Lai Zi’s family a beating, and here he is now, saying nice things, which really makes it hard to pinpoint any faults.

"What’s all this fuss about? We’re from the same village. To fight like this, aren’t you afraid of someone reporting this? Is our production team not even going to fetch a flag of honor this year?"

"Zhenping, what’s going on here? With so many people from your family going to Lai Zi’s house and beating them like this, have you gone mad?"

Lai Zi’s family finally saw village leaders arrive, who could make decisions on their behalf, with many villagers gathered but no one to intervene.

"Lord, village chief, you’ve finally come! The Lu Family people must be crazy! They kicked down our door and just started hitting us, the old and the young all joined in. Oh, look at my daughter-in-law, she’s nearly been beaten to death."

"You old fool, I think you got off lightly. It was the three of you who beat up your daughter-in-law, the whole village knows. You beat her three times a day, and now that something’s happened, you blame our Lu Family? Why would we attack you? You know very well in your hearts. My grandkids were just at school, how could you be so cruel as to throw them into the river? Ming Liang and Mingyang nearly drowned! If we don’t seek justice from you, then from whom should we?"

People outside had heard early on about Ming Liang and Ming Fang falling into the river and thought it was just kids being naughty, but little did they realize the hidden truth.

It’s no wonder Shen Meng, as their mother, called for her in-laws and her own family. Look at the presence here. Hearing this, the parents of Shitou and the urinal quickly grabbed their kids and went home.

Luckily, their child didn’t get mixed up with Dezi and get marked for it. If a fight had broken out, their own family couldn’t have stood up to the Lu Family. They haven’t even all shown up yet, if they had, who could have ended up with anything good?

"You’re talking nonsense, just because you say my family threw them in doesn’t make it true. Who saw it, who witnessed it? You clearly see my family as an easy target, and you come to bully us. Village chief, Secretary, you have to stand up for us. And look at my poor grandson, how those little beasts Mingyang and others have beaten him up!"

Beaten to look like pigs, your whole family has been beaten to look like pigs!

Zhang Hongfa muttered inwardly, somewhat lamenting that the Lu Family and their relatives had been too harsh. A little carelessness could lead to a big trouble.

"I, I can testify, yes, it was Lai Zi who discussed with my father-in-law and mother-in-law to teach Shen Meng and Lu Zhenping a lesson. They couldn’t provoke the adults, so they targeted the kids, following them for two days. Knowing Mingyang and the other kids would return home late, they waited by the river. By the time I arrived, Ming Fang and Ming Liang were already in the river, and, and Mingyang was also kicked twice by Lai Zi, he must be bruised."

Lai Zi’s wife testifying personally was unexpected by everyone. Seeing her covered in blood, Zhang Hongfa asked if it was the Lu Family who had hit her.

"How could it be? It was clearly Lai Zi and my in-laws who beat me. They—ahem, ahem, ahem—they resent me for saving Ming Fang and Ming Liang, they wanted to teach me a lesson. Those were two lives at risk. Even if I’m usually outspoken, I couldn’t harm someone else’s children."

"Shut up, you wretch," Lai Zi’s mother lunged forward to slap Shirley, but was sternly reprimanded by Zhang Hongfa and dared not continue.

Director Guo had arrived at the Xu Family’s place while Shirley was speaking. Their gazes met in the dark. Shirley’s eyes were streaming with tears; she sounded pitifully sobbing in pain and misery.

"Please, Director Guo, village chief, and Secretary, give me a way out. If I still stay in the Xu family after saying this, I’m sure I won’t last long. Please, I want a divorce, I want to take Daya and Xiao Ya and leave the Xu Family. Everyone, please help us three!"
