Chapter 281 - 280: Resolution
"As there is a plaintiff here, and this is a matter of human relationships, Qin Liuxi wouldn’t presume to make decisions on her own. How to proceed is not for her to manage; her only concern is to pacify Village Chief Wang, dispel this resentful energy, let his family send the deceased on their way peacefully, and her work here would be done.
Wang Dayong asked her opinion directly, and she in turn looked to the plaintiff, "What do you think?"
Village Chief Wang was at a loss for a moment.
He looked at his eldest son kneeling on the ground and then at Wang Sanquan, knowing that this man would not be able to withstand the pressure, and that in the future, the Wang family would still have to rely on the eldest son.
"He is the eldest son; let him decide on this matter," Village Chief Wang intentionally wanted to gauge his eldest son’s capabilities.
Having relayed this message through Qin Liuxi, Wang Dayong suddenly became hesitant.
Wang Sanquan crawled on his knees to him, clasped his hands, and said, "Big brother, it truly wasn’t intentional. It was just a mistake in the moment. He was our own father, no matter how foolish I am, I wouldn’t dare really kill him. It was just a moment of panic, fearing the scandal would ruin our family’s reputation, that made my strike too forceful."
Wang Dayong angrily retorted, "You’re not just ruined now; you’ve turned into complete shit."
Such incidents spread like wildfire throughout the farming villages, reaching every nook and cranny within miles. Their Wang family was now without face.
"Big brother, I really will change."
