Chapter 670 - 670 Litigation 2
670 Litigation 2
Madam Zhou thought that she was smarter and more tactful than Madam Li. Su Xiaozhi wanted to set a trap for them. If they did not pay attention, she would really succeed.
Madam Li reacted slower and was a little angry, but this was not the time for internal strife. She immediately echoed, cried a few times, and complained to the women who were watching the show. “Who doesn’t know what kind of person our mother is? She doesn’t need a reason to hit and scold us.”
Everyone nodded. Madam Wang was indeed infamous in the village for..
The only person who could stand shoulder to shoulder with her was that woman from the Chen family.
Perhaps it was because Su Sanlang and Chen Hu had already left this small village, the two old women were very good at disciplining their daughters-in-law.
Therefore, Madam Li and Madam Zhou were right.
Because Madam Wang and Old Master Su had already gone, it was impossible for them to get up and tell everyone the truth.
Only Su Xiaozhi, Su Dalang, and Su Erlang knew the truth. Now that the siblings were in a litigation, one of them was definitely telling the truth and the other was lying.
Su Xiaozhi did not avoid Madam Li and Madam Zhou’s submission. She remained calm. This was one of her methods. If this did not work, she still had another way.
Su Xiaozhi looked at Madam Li and Madam Zhou. “Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, do you mean that mother hit you last night to vent her anger?”
Su Xiaozhi’s insistence on seeking an answer put Madam Zhou and Madam Li in a difficult position.
Madam Zhou did not answer quickly. She kept feeling that Su Xiaozhi was setting a trap. She had already implied that Madam Wang hit them yesterday. Why did Su Xiaozhi still have to ask them? What was she after?
Madam Zhou knew that Su Xiaozhi was definitely plotting something, but she did not know what it was. This feeling was not good. No matter how she answered, it did not seem right.
Madam Li subconsciously looked at Madam Zhou. Madam Zhou was not a good person. She must have some concerns for not saying anything. Madam Li swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She had to wait for Madam Zhou to answer first. She would not stand up for something that might go wrong.
Madam Li and Madam Zhou did not answer.
Old Master Li frowned and asked sternly, “Did she hit you or not?”
“She did.”
Madam Zhou lowered her head and said helplessly.
She thought for a moment and admitted it. If she didn’t admit it and Su Xiaozhi asked others to insist on checking on them, she wouldn’t be able to hide it anyway.
Seeing that Madam Zhou had admitted to it, Madam Li lowered her head and did not speak. In any case, she did not want to stand out.
Even if there was anything, it had nothing to do with her.
“Village Chief, officer, grandmasters, you heard it clearly, right?”
Su Xiaozhi suddenly turned around and faced the village chief and the entire village.
She said loudly, “I don’t know what happened last night, but now, I believe everyone already knows two things clearly. Firstly, when I left, my parents were still alive. Secondly, regarding that piece of gold, who was the one who angered my parents to death? I’m injured, but so are they. They’ve all been beaten up. This means that either one of us could be at fault.”
Everyone frowned. Su Xiaozhi was right.
Su Dalang and Su Erlang both said that it was Su Xiaozhi. It was not wrong for Su Xiaozhi to say that it was Su Dalang and Su Erlang.
Who exactly angered Old Master Su and Madam Wang to death? Su Xiaozhi, Su Dalang, and Su Erlang were equally suspicious.
The officer, the village chief, and the others became serious.
“You’re right. It makes sense.”
The officer, Old Master Li, pondered for a moment before speaking.
“What do you mean? Can’t so many of us testify against her?”
Su Dalang was very angry. There were more than ten people, but they could not defeat Su Xiaozhi? This was nonsense.
Su Erlang also felt that something was wrong. In the beginning, everyone believed that Su Xiaozhi had stolen the gold and angered her parents to death, but now, everyone looked at Su Xiaozhi the same way they looked at them.
It seemed that Su Xiaozhi had not been cleared of suspicion, but in fact, everyone was leaning towards Su Xiaozhi’s side.
Faced with Su Dalang’s anger, Su Xiaozhi’s expression remained unchanged. She looked at the unstable Su Dalang and Su Erlang calmly and said, “Big Brother, Second Brother, justice is not decided by numbers.”
“Then what do you think we should do? We’re all saying that it’s you. If you don’t admit it, show us the evidence. Why are you talking about all these? Do you have witnesses? Do you have physical evidence? Or you can learn from the operas and cry injustice to the heavens. Blood will splatter everywhere to inform the gods.”
Su Erlang glared at Su Xiaozhi and said coldly. Anyway, the dead could not be revived, and no one knew what happened last night.
Su Xiaozhi was really rebellious, but no matter how much of a fuss she made, she could not accomplish anything.
Su Erlang deliberately provoked Su Xiaozhi. If Su Xiaozhi’s will was not firm, she would probably be so provoked that she would die to prove her innocence.
Su Xiaozhi could feel Su Erlang’s malice. She was not beaten down and did not even cry. She only looked at Su Dalang and Su Erlang calmly and said, “Therefore, I request the officers of the village chief and all the great-grandfathers to write a complaint for me, Su Xiaozhi. I request the government to send someone down to investigate the truth. I also request to freeze my parents’ corpses and wait for the coroner to do an autopsy to see when my parents died.”
With that, Su Xiaozhi turned around and knelt down to the village chief and the others.
At this point, it was impossible for Su Dalang and Su Erlang to slander her.
This was her original goal.
Her parents had already passed away. Only Su Dalang and Su Erlang knew what happened last night, but they wanted her to bear the blame. She could not ask her deceased parents to tell her who it was. She could only work hard and try her best to clear her name.
If she could get the authorities to intervene and get a coroner to do the autopsy, she would be one step closer to the truth.
“No way!”
Su Dalang and Su Erlang spoke in unison.
If the higher-ups really came to investigate and the coroner came to perform an autopsy, it would not do them any good if they really found anything.
They rummaged around yesterday and took all the money Madam Wang had hidden away. Then, they left.
They had no idea how Madam Wang and Old Master Su died.
If they really investigated seriously, they would definitely not be able to gain anything.
Therefore, they definitely could not investigate.
“Xiaozhi, calm down. It’s all your second brother’s fault for hitting you in a fit of anger. Sister-in-law will apologize to you. Father and Mother have already passed away. It’s better not to cause trouble. They have to be buried soon.”
Madam Zhou reacted and hurriedly went forward to speak to Su Xiaozhi.
It turned out that making a big fuss was Su Xiaozhi’s final goal.
This could not blow up. Madam Zhou wanted to calm Su Xiaozhi down first.
“That’s right, that’s right. We’re all family. It’s normal for us to have some conflicts. Xiaozhi, don’t take it to heart. Your brother’s personality is like this. Not to mention you, even I will be punched by him.” Madam Li also reacted. They were not stupid. When they came back to their senses, they broke out in cold sweat.
