Chapter 373: Bringing Them to Justice

Su Wen was dumbfounded. It was the end. Zhou Hengyang must have taken the wrong prescription.

...

He was fine when he left. Why did he seem like a completely different person now?

“There’s nothing you need to be afraid of. I’m here.” Zhou Hengyang leaned, whispering in her ear.

“I’m not scared,” Su Wen stubbornly denied.

If it were the Hengyang of the past, he would have ignored her claims with a cold face.

The Hengyang of the present, instead, indulged her warmly. “Alright. If you say so.” Despite his casual acceptance of Su Wen’s words, his grip around her tightened as if he were afraid she would disappear if he let go.

Shen Erkui wore a bitter, downtrodden look as he watched Su Wen and Zhou Hengyang behaving so intimately. He could not bear the sight for long and spun on his heel, grabbing supplies to clean up the courtyard. He found a length of rope, undamaged by the fire, and used it to tie up Tian Gang so that he would not escape in the chaos.

Xu Xiaoxiao soon arrived with his captives in tow. When the crowd caught sight of Su Xuefang and Shi Caiyue, bundled up like potato sacks, they almost broke into a frenzy, none more so than Su Xuewu and Su Xueqiang.

The two brothers thought Tian Yong was the sole perpetrator and that Su Xuefang had nothing to do with this mess. They never thought she would also be involved.

Reality gave them a hard slap, knocking them back to their senses.

Not only had Su Xuefang known what Tian Yong intended to do, but she also participated in and enabled it.

“I’ll beat you to death. I’ll beat you to death, you animal!”

The two grown men gave Su Xuefang a well-deserved beating while the villagers watched dispassionately. No one intervened or thought to stop the two from severely punishing Su Xuefang.

Su Xuefang was worse than a beast. She would have been better off dead.

In times long past, people like her were drowned for their crimes.

An unsightly expression marred Third Grandma’s weather-worn face. She wanted nothing more than to beat up Su Xuefang herself.

Su Xuefang was a disgrace to the Su family. How could the Su family hold their heads high in Trinity Village now that she had committed a grave taboo?

“You vile beast!”

“I’ll kill you myself!”

Su Xuefang screamed. Xu Xiaoxiao had already struck the fear of god in her, now made worse by her brothers, and fainted on the spot. However, her loss of consciousness was not enough to stop the fists and feet raining down on her. The pain was so immense that she woke several times, only to be put under again by the sheer force of their abuse.

Li Youcai, fearing for Su Xuefangs life, stopped them before they took things too far.

He quickly delegated the task of sending Tian Gang, Tian Yong, Su Xuefang, and Shi Caiyue to the nearest police station, calling on several villagers he trusted. Zhoue Hengyang and Xu Xiaoxiao accompanied the group to the police station. With both men along for the ride, the group sped from the countryside to the nearest town a few miles away.

When they arrived, they reported the matter to the police and offloaded the four responsible for the village fire. Their actions were so horrific that the whole police station was alarmed by what had happened. It did not take much to convince the officers on duty to take the four of them away and hold them in custody. For that, Li Youcai was relieved.

Su Wen did not go with them and stayed at home instead.

She was exhausted. It had been a long, trying day, and she had no energy to clean up the scorched yard.

After a cursory check to ensure nothing flammable had survived to rekindle the fire, Su Wen led Su Qing and the others back into the house for a well-deserved rest.

They could deal with everything else later.

However, sleep eluded Su Qing and Su Xiu. While Su Wen, Sixth Sister, and

Little Sister Su returned to their rooms for rest, Su Qing and Su Xiu helped Su Xue and Fifth Sister clean up the yard. Eyeing the charred remnants of the courtyard and dead cacti, four pairs of red-rimmed eyes barely contained the tears threatening to fall.

They stared at the devastation with their lips pursed and fists clenched tightly. It was as if a ball of fire burned in their hearts. They would never forget Su Wen’s lonely figure, standing up for the rest of them, putting herself in danger just to keep them safe. She stood with her back straight, like an impregnable wall keeping them safe from harm.

They vowed never to forget Tian Yong’s disgusting scheme or what he had planned to do to their older sister. Their vow was the impetus for change in them.

No longer would they be weak, introverted, or dutiful, only for others to trample or take advantage of them.

That shard of innocence had gone up in flames alongside the inferno that nearly razed all they held dear to the ground.

They wanted to be as strong as their older sister. They had to be..
