Chapter 481 Shen Liang: I accept my fate and will not fight the Qiao family anymore
"It's basically confirmed that it's them. We have a complete chain of clues." said a yamen runner wearing darker clothes who looked like the leader.
"They cut their hair short, dressed in men's clothes, and disguised themselves as men. They arrived in Yuezhou City, were arrested, and taken to the Ning County government office as murder suspects. On the way, they jumped down a steep slope. They were not found at the time and thought they had escaped again. It turned out that they had fallen into a crevice and were squeezed together side by side, suffocating to death."
When Chen heard this, she cried even more miserably and almost fainted several times.
"What about the twenty taels they had on them?" Shen asked quickly. It didn't matter if the people were gone, because Song Dahua and Song Xiaohua took away twenty taels.
A guilty look flashed across the leader's eyes: "We didn't find anything. Maybe they've already squandered it all."
The two were found in the Giant Viewing Garden, but the brothers from the county government still searched them thoroughly. People like them who escaped from home would usually carry valuables with them.
But who would have known that the two sisters actually stuffed the silver into Pi Yanzi's pocket. It almost made them vomit, and they had to endure the nausea and divide it.
The Song family members looked devastated. Their money was gone, their people were gone, and two more members of the Song family had died.
In the past year, five members of the Song family have died. Does God want them to be wiped out?
Qiao Jianer stood in the distance with a faint smile on her lips.
Song Dahua and Song Xiaohua did not die directly at her hands, but it was she who indirectly sent them both to hell.
How could they be so lucky that all the members of the Song family could escape, run away far away, and start a new life?
When Shen Xiu took a look at Qiao Jianer's face, she was shocked. Could it be that the deaths of Song Daha and Song Xiaohua were related to her?
She rolled her eyes and asked, "Brother Yamen Runner, were the soldiers from Yuezhou the ones who escorted her back from Yuezhou City?"
"They are servants from the Chu family compound. They are not experienced in this area. If they were really soldiers, they would not let them jump out of the carriage under strict escort."
The leader said, waving his hand: "Let's go back."
As they set off, they said, "This body stinks like a corpse. Even the strongest incense bath won't help. I'll have to stand in the toilet for half a day."
When the soldiers were farther away, Shen looked at Qiao Jianer with a half-smile on her face: "The Chu family the yamen runners were talking about, isn't it your grandparents' family?"
Chen had lost both of her daughters. When she knew that her two daughters were killed by Qiao Jianer, she went mad and didn't know what the outcome would be.
"So what? Song Dahua and Song Xiaohua are fugitive suspects who may have killed my grandmother. I happened to meet them in Yuezhou City, so naturally I have to have them sent back to the county government for trial. If they did it, they will be punished according to the law. If they are innocent, then I will help them clear their name."
"Who knew they would be so impatient as to jump out of the carriage and endanger their own lives? Could it be that they have done something truly sinful and are afraid to go to the government office?"
The villagers nodded after hearing this. It made sense. If they had seen the person, they would have also sent him to the government office.
Killing my grandmother and stealing money from the house is unforgivable.
"You killed my two daughters, I will kill you." Chen howled and rushed towards Qiao Jianer.
Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were red, and she was filled with hatred, which made people feel scared.
Dacheng stepped forward, blocked Qiao Jianer, and kicked her a few steps away.
"Sickle, go home."
Qiao Lian'er nodded, took a step forward, and glanced at Shen Xiu with a dull look, as if he was looking at a stone or a blade of grass.
Shen Xiu was shocked and felt an indescribable pressure for no reason.
It seemed like she would be the next person to die.
Shen Liang lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Qiao Jianer's face, which was calm but filled with a murderous madness.
He looked up at the sky, feeling frustrated and helpless that one cannot fight against fate.
Qiao Lian'er, the Qiao family is at a high level. Going against them is like hitting a rock with an egg, and may even lead to an ugly death.
"Sister, forget it." He suddenly said.
"What, forget it?" Shen Xiu didn't understand.
"I think I'll let go of the matter with the Qiao family." Shen Liang sighed.
Shen Xiu pulled him aside, away from the other villagers.
"Forget it? Have you forgotten who brought our Shen family to this point? Who made you an idiot? The main culprit is Qiao Jian'er. The Shen family spent all their wealth to cure you. Not only do they want you to shoulder the responsibility of the Shen family, they also expect you to teach Qiao Jian'er a lesson and pay her back tenfold, a hundredfold, for what our Shen family has endured. Otherwise, who would be willing to accept this?"
Shen Xiu said this, her tone becoming excited.
"Sister, calm down." Shen Liang frowned. "Look at what happened to the Song family. All the members of the Song family died one by one, or ran away and disappeared. We may not even know where they died. There will be no good results if you confront Qiao Jian'er. She killed people without blinking an eye."
"Song Dahua and Song Xiaohua, I wonder if they ever imagined when they were alive that they would die in such a horrible way, with the whole village witnessing their most horrific appearance."
"Sister, the Qiao family is no longer something we can handle. Let's stop caring about them and focus on our own affairs. I'll study mathematics, and you guys can work hard on your business and farming. I'm almost well now, and I don't need too much money anymore. We can slowly build this family back up."
Shen Xiu bit her lip and had to admit that what Shen Liang said made sense.
"But, but I really can't accept it——"
"What can we do if we are unwilling? We are ordinary people. None of us have extraordinary talents, and none of us have the blessing of God. We should just live our own lives well. Why should we cling to those impossible things? No matter how powerful the Qiao family is, no matter how prosperous the Qiao family is, it is already good enough for us to return to our original life. Three meals a day, warm clothes in winter, a good harvest, and enough money are already beyond the reach of many families."
"Sister, I don't want someone in our Shen family to be left dead in front of the villagers like Song Dahua did to Xiaohua, and even be spat on after they die."
Thinking of that situation, Shen Xiu shuddered all over.
Shen Liangqisan laughed. "If you still refuse to change, let alone return to the past, you'll probably end up like the Song family, losing their lives one by one. In the end, there's nothing left. What's the point? Since the other path is a waste of time, why not choose the right path and hold on to what you can? At least, our family is still alive."
Shen Xiu looked at Shen Liang: "Brother, think about what happened to you, are you really willing to accept it?"
"Shi Murou and Chu Zhuo are married, and Qiao Xier is marrying Mu Xinghe. You've been crazy for so long, being ridiculed. Are you willing to accept this?"
Shen Liang was silent for a moment: "I'm unwilling, but I accept my fate."
