Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 1200 The End of the Little Widow

Many people looked at the old man with sympathy. Even the old men and women who had been crying because their children and grandchildren were arrested suddenly became more open-minded.

Seems like they're okay with this!

Seeing that the police were about to handcuff the old man, the village cadre of Tugouzi Brigade, who had been following the commune secretary since he rushed back, whispered a few words into the commune secretary's ear.

After hearing this, the commune secretary looked at the scene with a look of toothache and slapped his face hard.

He hasn't said a word since entering the village.

Mainly, I don’t know what to say.

What do you want him to say about the mess happening in Tugouzi Brigade?
He had rushed over originally, thinking he would see a confrontation between two teams. He had already thought about how to deal with it, but he did not expect to watch such a farce.

That’s right, the commune secretary felt that he had been caught up in a farce today.

But it's not without some benefits. At least compared to what he had imagined at the beginning, the current result is not too bad.

It's just a little embarrassing.

There is some benefit in this incident involving Captain Tugouzi. If Wang steps down, there might be a turnaround in the water interception issue.

Thinking of this, the commune secretary was no longer in a hurry and simply waved his hand and asked the village cadres to do whatever they wanted to do.

Anyway, this is an internal matter of the Tugouzi Brigade, and as a commune secretary who has just been transferred here not long ago, he should not get involved.

When the village cadres came out and saw the chaos before them, they felt their scalps tingling.

He grabbed his hair tightly to make himself more alert, then walked up to the two policemen and began to explain in a low voice on behalf of the old man.

After hearing this, the policeman looked at the old man, then at Wang Goudan who looked guilty, his eyes were a little dull. What kind of people are these in your village?
After some negotiations with the village cadres, the two policemen finally only confiscated the axe.

As for the old man, the two policemen pretended that they did not see what happened just now.

No one else present had any objection.

The main reason is that the old man is so miserable.

The young widow who had an affair with Wang Goudan and gave birth to a son for him was his daughter-in-law.

Speaking of his youngest son, many people in the village felt it was a pity.

He was a very good young man, but unfortunately he had no good wife, so he ended up with such a wife.

At that time, many people from other families in the village had their eyes on the young man, but no one expected that he would be taken advantage of by the girl of the host's relative just for a banquet.

As a last resort, I had to marry her.

Everyone knew why the young man died.

It’s because his wife is greedy and asks for good food every day, but the young man’s family is limited by conditions, and even though he has been intentionally taking care of her, his wife is still not satisfied.

Even though he was such a grown-up, he still competed for food with the baby in his sister-in-law's family, causing unrest in the whole family.

In order not to worry his parents, the young man took the initiative to propose separation and took her out to live.

We must be right, that young man is indeed a capable person.

With a few words of guidance from the old hunter, I figured out everything about hunting.

Within two years of being released, he bought a residential plot and built two brick houses.

Unfortunately, good people don’t live long. While going up the mountain to find dates for his wife, the young man accidentally fell off a cliff. Although he barely survived, he has been bedridden ever since and suffers from serious illness from time to time.

Fortunately, he had saved some money from hunting before, so he could barely make ends meet.

The old man wiped away his tears and glared at Wang Goudan with hatred. This adulterous couple!

After his son died, although he and his wife felt resentful towards the young widow, they had to give in because she was pregnant at the time, and the baby was the only child of their youngest son.

What else can I do? Just take good care of him.

Although the old couple has been living with their eldest son for many years, they have also subsidized their younger son's family privately.

Moreover, they felt a little guilty because their youngest son had said that he would never marry again and would focus on raising his grandson.

Even though the eldest son and daughter-in-law had complaints about them, the old couple never stopped giving subsidies to the younger son-in-law and grandson in private.

What happened now is that the grandson that the old couple treasured so much turned out to be a bastard!
No wonder the little grandson doesn’t look like his son at all.

He didn't think so much about it before, but now that the fog covering his eyes has dissipated, the old man realized that his youngest son was bedridden at the time, and in the later stages he even needed help from others to get up.

In that situation, how could he do that kind of thing with a woman?

Thinking of this, the old man who had just been helped up by everyone fell straight down.

Just then, a middle-aged man rushed in.

Looking at his father falling to the ground, he rushed over and shouted twice.

"Dad, Dad! Wake up!"

"Dad, don't scare me!"

At his son's repeated calls, the old man slowly opened his eyes, tears streaming down his face: "Son! I..."

Seeing that his father's face turned blue and his lips turned purple, it seemed as if he would lose consciousness in the next second.

The middle-aged man hurriedly calmed him down: "Dad, Dad, don't worry, I'm here!"

Seeing his father like this, the middle-aged man handed his father to his mother and wife who followed closely, picked up the hoe beside him and rushed towards Wang Goudan.

Although he didn't like his father favoring his younger brother, and often subsidized his younger brother and sister-in-law in private after his brother's death, he was still out of blood ties and because his younger brother had taken the initiative to propose separation and left with his wife in order not to embarrass him.

The middle-aged man has always felt a little guilty about this.

Especially after his younger brother died young, he regretted it even more, thinking that if his wife had taken a step back, his younger brother would not have taken the initiative to propose separation.

If my parents had been in charge, my brother and sister-in-law might not have made such excessive demands, and my brother would not have gotten into trouble.

She felt guilty about everything, and she also felt that it was not easy for her sister-in-law to raise a child alone since she lost her man at such a young age. So even though she was dissatisfied, she never stopped her parents from subsidizing her sister-in-law privately.

He also endured the complaints from his wife and tried his best not to make things difficult for his parents.

But no matter how unhappy he was about his parents' favoritism, he was still his biological father and not someone who could be bullied by anyone.

This time the police didn't intervene. The village cadres had been watching. When they saw the middle-aged man picking up the hoe, their eyelids jumped: "Don't be impulsive!"

Then he shouted to the people around him: "Why are you still standing there? Stop him now!"

The middle-aged man who was stopped had bloodshot eyes and struggled desperately towards Wang Goudan.

At one point, the crowd almost couldn't stop him.

In the end, his mother couldn't stand it anymore and came forward and slapped him.

The slap landed hard on his face.

"Are you awake?" the old lady asked coldly.
