Chapter 28: The Poor One Blocks the Door
Chapter 28: The Poor One Blocks the Door
Zhou You spread the news to 7 or 8 streets, and then did not return to the martial arts hall, but went home.
Don’t waste the trip, so take the opportunity to have dinner with your parents.
When passing by the place where the accident happened, I found a group of white-robed people from the Buddhist God Sect cleaning the ground.
Upon inquiry, it turned out that after he left, the bloody scene was seen by passers-by.
There have been too many incidents in the city recently, and the government alone cannot handle it, not to mention that Lu Zhigang is from another place.
It was the people from the Buddhist sect who came to collect the bones, wiped them clean with white cloth, and sent them outside the city... for cremation.
That’s right, Buddhism believes that when a person dies, it’s like a light goes out, and cremation is the best way to burn the body.
However, the local custom is that the leaves must return to their roots and must be buried in the native land so that the soul can enjoy the sacrifices of future generations.
Due to this conflict, Buddhism is regarded as a cult in some areas.
The local people in Gongliang City naturally avoided it, and only the refugees in Sucheng had no conditions to care about these things.
After Lu Zhigang's body was cremated, the matter was settled.
There was also a small episode during this period...
Shanwa was bribed, but this naughty kid was lucky enough to hit his head against the wall and passed out. Later he was found by the man in white robe and was still alive.
He was only hit hard a few times, and his crotch was full of shit and urine. He couldn't even speak and was completely scared.
The people from the Shishen sect went door to door asking questions and finally found Shanwa's home and returned the child.
"Shanwa is such a pitiful child. I heard that his bones are broken and his stomach is damaged. He vomits everything he eats."
After dinner, my mother told me the news she had heard.
Zhou You didn't explain the whole story and just kept eating. This naughty kid deserved it.
The reason he still had room to vent his anger was that he didn't step on him to death in the end because of his neighbor.
Selling him out for ten coins, what a bastard, he will be a bad kid when he grows up.
While we were eating, we heard shouting and cursing outside. It became louder and louder, causing the neighbors on both sides to go out.
It sounded a bit strange, as if they were cursing "Old Zhou Family" and "Zhou You".
I can't eat.
Zhou You and his parents went out to see what was happening. It turned out to be Shanwa's father, holding the child, standing at the door of his house, swearing and swearing.
"Zhou You, get out here."
"I just heard that my son got into trouble because he went to the martial arts gym to look for you. His second half of life is ruined. You have to pay compensation."
His wife was not a good person either. She wiped her tears and cried and made a fuss.
The couple cried and cursed, making the whole neighborhood restless, and more and more neighbors gathered around to watch.
"You'er, what's going on?"
Zhou You comforted his parents, "It's okay, leave it to me."
He walked forward and glanced at Shanwa. The naughty kid had dull eyes and was obviously frightened.
Looking at his parents again, they looked so ferocious as if they wanted to eat people.
Don’t they know that Zhou You can kill their entire family with just one breath?
"Shanwa's father, you can't say that. Whoever hurts your Shanwa should ask him to pay compensation."
Lu Zhigang had already been burned to ashes, so there was no way to find the murderer.
Shanwa's father dared to come to the Zhou family because he knew the family inside and out and wanted to bully them because they were honest and upright.
If Lu Zhigang really stood in front of them, the couple would definitely not dare to fart.
"I don't care, the Zhou family's son is bullying people!"
Shanwa's mother sat down on the ground, grinning and crying, "My son is like this because of you, you must pay compensation."
"Otherwise, I will crash my head and die at your doorstep."
Shanwa's father was getting louder and louder. He started to complain to all the neighbors, "My Shanwa was having fun on the street, but he went to the martial arts hall to look for Zhou You. Now he ended up like this. Who else can I blame if not him?"
Widow Li in the crowd said something fair, "It may not be Zhou You. There are so many outsiders in the city. It may be them who harmed Shanwa." Zhou You couldn't help but look at her. This aunt was quite informative and her words were close to the truth.
"I think Zhou You is more likely to be a suspect."
The youngest Mou would not miss the opportunity to fan the flames, "Since Zhou You started practicing martial arts, he has become more vicious."
The implication is that Shanwa was injured by Zhou You.
The neighbors were talking at once, and the situation became increasingly chaotic, almost getting out of control.
Father Zhou was sweating profusely and explained with a red face, "It's not my You'er. He has a good heart and it's impossible for him to harm Shanwa."
"If not him, who else?"
Shanwa's parents cried and pointed at the Zhou family, accusing them of "paying compensation, you must pay compensation."
"Cough cough!"
Zhou You suddenly spoke up, with a sincere attitude, "Brother and sister-in-law, I do have a responsibility for this matter."
When he said this to surrender, everyone around him was shocked. Wasn't this an admission of his own accord?
Given the temperament of Shanwa's parents, they would not let go once they had bitten their tongue and would like to squeeze all the money out of the Zhou family.
They just kept saying that they wanted Lao Zhou to support Shanwa for the rest of his life!
"Listen, he admitted it, he admitted it!"
Shanwa's father was very proud and carried Shanwa to Zhou's father and mother.
"Shanwa came to the martial arts gym to tip off that Tu Laosan hired outsiders to plot against me."
When they heard the name Tu Laosan, a large group of neighbors and dozens of mouths suddenly became quiet.
How did you offend Tu Lao San again?
The arrogance of Shanwa's parents suddenly stopped, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble twice.
"Hey, thanks to Shanwa's report, I was able to escape the plot. It must have been Tu Laosan who plotted against Shanwa afterwards."
Zhou You turned to Shan Wan Niang and said, "I didn't want to tell you about this, but you two are eager to know the truth, so I had to tell you."
Shanwa’s father almost cried. Who would want to know the truth?
The son helped Zhou You to tip off the police, which would offend Tu Lao San!
If they offended Tu Lao San, their whole family would suffer.
"Zhou You, my Shanwa helped you, do you want to repay me?"
Shanwa's mother's eyes lit up, "We will move in tonight and live in your house from now on."
This shrew was quick-witted and realized that she had offended Tu Lao San, and could only avoid disaster by relying on the wooden sign hanging at the door of Lao Zhou's house.
Shanwa's father was shocked and thought that his wife was right. This was a good idea.
Well, this is completely dependent on their family.
The neighbors around booed, thinking that it was a nice idea. Not only was he eating and living for free, but he was also hoping to take advantage of the situation.
Zhou You's parents frowned and were about to refuse subconsciously.
"It's not impossible."
Zhou You said slowly, "But the three months are almost up, and I still can't develop enough strength, so there's no hope of getting promoted."
"When the time comes, the martial arts school will kick me out, take back the wooden sign, and Tu Lao San will come to settle the score."
"Shanwa's parents, when the time comes, our two families will share the joys and sorrows and face it together."
What are they facing? The whole family will be wiped out!
Shanwa's mother was so frightened that her face turned pale. The Zhou family's boat was about to sink and there was not much oil or water left. It was better to stay as far away from it as possible.
They were unwilling to give up and cried for a while, but when they saw that they couldn't get any benefits out of them, they left in dismay.
Later, Zhou You heard that Tu Laoer heard what happened that day and was angry at Shanwa for his bad deeds, so he sent people to take revenge. Shanwa's family's house was set on fire in the middle of the night, and the three of them were burned to charcoal, with no one spared.
The fire was strange in that it only burned his family and did not affect his neighbors.
