BXBX NOVEL Chapter 756 - 756: A Must
Zhao Guanghua was feeling even worse.
When he left the county, he was still suffering from the punishment. The wound had not healed, leaving a horrifying appearance on his back. Whenever it rained, he would experience a faint pain in his legs.
Despite becoming a member of an ordinary family, Zhao Guanghua had not managed to change his bad temper. He engaged in a street fight, resulting in a broken leg.
Irritated by the incident, Old Master Zhao and Madame Zhao confronted the person responsible for breaking Zhao Guanghua’s leg. However, their efforts only resulted in humiliation and curses, leaving Madame Zhao infuriated.
Her anger led to an illness that persisted for nearly three months.
In the first half year, Zhao Guanghua’s temper remained unchanged. He caused numerous troubles, resulting in the loss of their remaining money. They even had to use their small yard and house as collateral.
Zhao Guangyin felt a deep sense of despair. His father became an alcoholic, and his mother continuously defended his worthless brother. He couldn’t bear to continue supporting this family any longer.
Feeling utterly helpless, Zhao Guangyin secretly gave them 30 liang and left with only 10 liang in hand, along with his wife and son. They disappeared without a trace.
Meanwhile, Zhao Guanghua unintentionally killed someone during one of his fights. Fearing the consequences, he fled and vanished as well.
However, the man he had fought was not dead; he had merely lost consciousness. The victim approached Zhao Guanghua’s parents, demanding compensation. Old Master Zhao and his wife were forced to exhaust their remaining money to repay him. To make matters worse, they had to sell their daughter as a concubine to someone. With the meager funds received from their daughter, they spent the rest of their lives in bitterness.
Back in Shaoding Village, the next morning after Zhao Mings visit, the third section of the family urgently rushed to the first section, imploring them to employ any means necessary to reach a compromise with the Zhao Family.
That was absolutely out of the question.
Ms. Ma and Third Uncle disregarded the nature of the Zhao Family and their past conflicts with the first section. Particularly, Ms. Ma had always dreamt of Shao Liulang marrying into a wealthy family. Her eyes lit up with excitement when she laid eyes on Elder Miss the previous day.
She was the ideal match Ms. Ma had envisioned for her family.
She was even superior to the Yan Family. Ms. Ma would not tolerate Ms. Niu showing off in front of her once her son married a rich bride!
However, as soon as they arrived at the first section of the family, Shao Yunduan preempted any discussion they had in mind.
The first section of the family would never forgive the Zhao Family, and there was no room for negotiation. If the third section of the family insisted on marrying a lady from the Zhao Family, the first section of the family would not intervene, but they would make it clear to the clan that the first section and the third section were completely unrelated from that moment onward.
The Zhao Family had engaged in bullying and committed numerous unethical acts, resulting in lawsuits filed against them by their victims. Officer Qiao, in accordance with the laws and regulations, was assisting the people and seeking justice for their grievances. The Zhao Family deserved to be sentenced based on their actions. No one should interfere, as it would only create trouble for everyone involved. It was a burden that nobody could bear.
If the third section of the family believed they could bear that burden, they could approach Officer Qiao.
Begging for mercy on behalf of the Zhao Family? Absolutely not.
Ms. Ma and Third Uncle were clueless about the situation. They couldn’t utter a word upon hearing Shao Yunduan’s account.
They knew they were powerless when it came to dealing with governmental offices.
Shao Liulang was not convinced.. He blurted out, “You’re Officer Qiao’s son-in-law! If we seek his help, Officer Qiao will surely assist us!”
