Chapter 94 - 94 It's Better to Die Together

94 It’s Better to Die Together

Wang Fengjing took off his shoe pad and knocked Wang Qi’s head hard. “I told you not to go! Then don’t go! Those people are powerful! How many lives do you have for them to kill? If the officials let them escape, the entire village will suffer!”

At that time, Wang Qi fainted. He only saw how powerful Qingfeng was and did not know that the others were as powerful as Qingfeng. That was why he was completely ignorant.

Wang Qi said hatefully, “Father, since they’re so powerful, now that we’ve offended them, they’ll definitely remember it. If they get the chance, they’ll kill our family.”

“If we don’t strike first, we’ll have to live in fear every day. It’s so frustrating. You may be willing, but I’m not.” His father was old and timid, but he wasn’t.

“Only the few of them know martial arts. When the officials come and capture their clansmen, let’s see if they dare to resist! If they dare to resist, it’ll be a rebellion. That’s even better. We can directly exterminate all those refugees and see if they still dare to be smug in front of us!”

It was not like they had killed anyone. The officials could not have killed all of them in one go.

No matter how nice Wang Qi’s words were, Wang Fengjing thought of how powerful Qingfeng was and was not willing to risk his family’s life at all. He shook his head firmly. “You’re not allowed to go!”

Wang Qi was in a hurry to get back at them. He said angrily, “Father, why have you become a coward?! We suffered yesterday because there were too few of us. When Second Brother and the others return from their labor, we won’t be afraid of those beggars!”

Who was he stopping his son for!

Wang Qi actually scolded him for being a coward!

Wang Fengjing was furious. He picked up the bamboo broom beside him and hit Wang Qi with all his might. “I’ll beat you to death, you unfilial son. You’ve really grown up. How dare you behave so atrociously!”

Wang Qi’s injuries had yet to recover, so how could he let the old man hit him? Mei Yufeng rushed out and stood in front of Wang Fengjing, shouting, “Why did you hit your son? If you have the ability, you should have hit the group of people opposite. If you can’t, you should have flared up at your son. What’s wrong with your son wanting to report to the authorities? If they hit someone, they should all be arrested and beheaded!”

Wang Qi pointed at Mei Yufeng and roared angrily, “This is outrageous!”

Wang Qi picked up the broom and was about to teach Mei Yufeng a lesson and let her know who the head of the family was!

Just as he raised his stick, his eldest daughter-in-law, youngest daughter-in-law, and youngest daughter all rushed up to block him. “Father-in-law, don’t fight! Don’t fight!”

His youngest daughter, Wang Mingyue, grabbed his broom and said anxiously, “Father, Mother’s health is not good. If you hit her, she will die! If Brother wants to report it to the authorities, let him go. I think it’s time to report it to the authorities. Brother is already so injured. At least let them pay for the medicine to nourish his body!”

Wang Mingyue’s words made the eldest daughter-in-law He Daoxiang’s heart burn. She took the opportunity to speak, “That’s right, Father-in-law. We also spent a lot of money to hire Doctor Li. He still has to take a few sets of this medicine. We even killed a big rooster to pay for it. How can we let them off easy? They have money from selling food. Husband, if you report it to the officials, you can definitely get the money back!”

His younger daughter-in-law, Lin Wanxia, did not want to be involved, but if she did not help her mother-in-law now, she would definitely make things difficult for her later. She also said, “Father-in-law, Sister-in-law is right. Calm down. Big Brother will definitely be able to seek justice when he goes to the government to report this matter. He will win back the face of our Lintian Village and Father-in-law.”

Wang Mingyue continued, “Father, my brother isn’t the only one in the village who was beaten up. If we don’t stand up for everyone, they will definitely gossip about you behind your back in the future!”

Wang Fengjing glared at them. “What do they dare to say?!” The village chief was the absolute local tyrant.

Wang Mingyue lowered her voice and said, “They secretly said that you were useless and that you sold the food at a low price. They were very dissatisfied.”

Wang Fengjing was so angry that he couldn’t take it anymore. If they were useful, why didn’t they fight Qingfeng back then?!

Wang Fengjing pointed at them and cursed, “Bastards! What do you know!”

Wang Qi retorted, “There are so many of us. Are we afraid that they will dare to kill us in broad daylight? If they dare, they would have killed me yesterday. They’re just a group of pretentious bastards. We’re not afraid of them! I’ll report to the officials now and let them see who the master of the Jade Spiritual Mountain is!” As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Qi took advantage of the fact that his mother and the others were blocking the way and wanted to go to the officials with his men in the village.

When Wang Fengjing saw that his family members had repeatedly disobeyed him, and that Wang Qi did not take him seriously at all, he was furious and spat out a pool of blood.

Before anyone could react, Wang Fengjing trembled and fell to the ground.

Mei Yufeng, who had been imposing just now, suddenly widened her eyes and pushed away the two daughters-in-law in front of her. She helped up Wang Fengjing, whose mouth and eyes were suddenly crooked and twitching, and shouted in fear, “Husband—what’s wrong with you?”

“Father, are you alright?” Wang Mingyue recovered from her shock and knelt on the ground.

She was extremely afraid that Wang Fengjing would be angered to death and she would be labeled as an unfilial daughter-in-law for jinxing him. Then, she would not be able to find a good family.

As soon as Wang Qi ran out of the house, he heard his mother and sister shouting. He suddenly turned around and ran back. He saw that his father had become a paralyzed person who could not speak. He was instantly stunned. After a while, his wife reminded him, “Husband, quickly go find Doctor Li at the village entrance!”

Wang Qi suddenly came back to his senses and jumped out like a rabbit.

Doctor Li took a look and shook his head. “He has a stroke. He can only recuperate like this.”

Wang Qi asked agitatedly, “Is there no other way to treat it?”

Doctor Li said, “It’s not like you haven’t seen Cripple Luo have a stroke in the village. You can only serve him well and help him stretch his muscles. This way, he might even be able to stand up.”

Wang Fengjing, who was on the sick bed, had been in high spirits all his life. How could he tolerate being crippled? His body trembled in agitation as he whimpered. Saliva flowed out of the corner of his mouth.

A cripple lying on a bed could do nothing. It was a waste of food and he still had to be served. He might as well be dead.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t dead.

At the thought that she had to wait on him every day, Mei Yufeng’s eyes rolled back and she fainted.

The Wang family was in chaos again.

Doctor Li took the opportunity to prescribe a few more doses of medicine. He even said to the eldest daughter-in-law, “You have to continue this medicine. It must not be stopped. Otherwise, your mother’s illness will become worse.”

How could medicine be cheap? It was even the eldest daughter-in-law who had used the money in her household to pay for the medicine. Thinking that she still had to buy medicine for her mother-in-law in the future, she felt her teeth ache.

Why couldn’t they die together? If they died, she could be the head of the family and get all the money in the family. Wang Qi would also be able to inherit the position as village chief.

When Wang Qi saw his parents lying side by side on the bed, he clenched his fists and rushed out with bloodshot eyes.

He would report to the officials now and let them arrest and behead all the culprits who had angered his father!
