Their men had suddenly been arrested. And they had to go to court to be sentenced! The more these women thought about this, the angrier they became. It clearly wasn't their fault, yet their men had all been taken away! As a result, no one was left to do the farm work. The household chores also fell to them, a group of women.

"I also seem to have received a notice from the court a couple of days ago," said one woman. "It said the trial for the bridesmaid case will take place in four days, and that we could attend."

"I received the same notice," another retorted. "My son was stabbed and seriously injured, and now the trial's finally about to happen. But didn't they already release the bridesmaid?"

"I don't understand the situation either. If they were going to hold a trial, why release her?"

"Then why can't our men be released? I've been to the detention center several times, and they won't let me see my husband."

The women continued to grumble amongst themselves.

A group of them had gathered at Chen Daoguang's house. They complained and vented non-stop, feeling they were being treated unfairly. The murderer was only detained for a day. Yet their men had been repeatedly taken to the detention center, and they weren't even allowed to visit.

"Right, I heard that all it takes is for the victim to forgive," someone mentioned. "Last time, it was Song Yun who forgave, and they let the person go after just a few days."

Liu Mei lifted her head, looked at her sisters, and made a suggestion. During the last agritainment incident, it was she who had suggested they go find Song Yun, and sure enough, their men were quickly released. This time, she had also visited Chen Qi several times. But Chen Qi was adamant that he would not forgive them and was unwilling to reconcile with their family.

"This time, if we all go together, we can definitely convince him!"

The other women snorted coldly. They immediately went back to gather the other sisters, planning for everyone to head to the Chen Family together to seek Chen Qi's forgiveness. With their own men about to be sentenced, they finally started to panic.

「...」

「Chen Family Village.」

Chen Qi's family of eight was sitting in the courtyard, cooling off. In the meantime, Chen Zishi made a video call to Peng Songyue and learned about the upcoming trial for the bridesmaid case.

"Can this... really work?"

Chen Qi, a man in his forties, frowned and couldn't help but ask. A life for a life. That's been a universal truth since ancient times. He still couldn't believe they could successfully argue for innocence.

"Dad, just relax. With Uncle Qin and Zhang Wei helping us, we'll definitely succeed!" Chen Zishi replied with a confident smile.

He was full of confidence. After heading to Jin City, he had inadvertently learned of Uncle Qin's reputation and the earth-shattering cases Uncle Qin had handled. There were cases of fraudulent charity and moral kidnapping, cases involving shady intermediaries, cases of objects thrown from heights, cases of lacing food deliveries with poison, cases involving lottery shops, and even banks… The most outrageous was the lawsuit against the entire internet! A staggering three thousand two hundred defendants in a single case!

"Dad, you don't know this, but Peng Songyue is staying near the courthouse with Xiao Lan, preparing for the lawsuit," Chen Zishi continued. "The owner of the guesthouse where they're staying can't stop smiling at the mention of Uncle Qin; he's always looking forward to the next big case. The last time Uncle Qin sued three thousand two hundred people, all the hotels and guesthouses near the courthouse made a killing."

He had heard all this from Peng Songyue. Uncle Qin… despite being low-key, had become a legend in Jin City. It was said that in several industries, one of the unspoken job requirements was the ability to recognize Uncle Qin at a glance in a crowd.

"With Uncle Qin's help, coupled with Lawyer Zhang Wei's defense, there's no problem," Chen Zishi said, very confident about this. Zhang Wei's Legal Pioneer Law Firm also had a significant reputation in Jin City. Great fame carries great credibility. He believed that their combined efforts would definitely secure a successful defense.

"Uncle Qin… is he really that amazing?"

After listening, Chen Qi's eyes widened in surprise. He knew that Qin Mu was skilled in law, but he had no idea Qin Mu had been involved in so many earth-shattering events.

While the family was chatting, KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK— a sudden knocking sound came from the gate, followed by a commotion from outside.

"Chen Qi, open the door! Hurry up, I know you're in there!"

"You have the guts to sue people, but not the guts to open the door, huh?"

"Hurry up and open it! We need to talk to you!"

"Open the door!"

The shouting continued.

The voices from outside the door sounded like a few hundred ducks squawking; it seemed they were all women. Chen Qi frowned, stood up, went to the door, and opened it.

He was taken aback by the sight that greeted him. Outside stood a dense crowd of women. Due to long-term farm work, their skin was dark, and they weren't particularly attractive. Moreover, many were robust, with solid, stout frames. At a glance, there were roughly seventy or eighty people. The one leading them was none other than Chen Daoguang's wife, Liu Mei.

"Chen Qi, we've received the notice from the court. Was it you who sued us?" Liu Mei asked bluntly, her expression unfriendly.

"I sued?" Chen Qi was taken aback, not immediately grasping what she was talking about.

"It had to be you! Don't even think of denying it. If you hadn't called the police, how would our men have been locked up in the detention center?"

"I'm telling you, the court is about to sentence them now, and you have to forgive them. We all come from the same village; how can you be so heartless?"

"We just wanted some justice. What right do you have to sue us?"

"We're neighbors, Chen Qi! We see each other all the time. You're also a Chen; centuries ago, we were all one family. What good does it do you if our men are in prison?"

The women continued their barrage.
