Chapter 223. Decision
Upon hearing that the family of Hua Village’s other daughter-in-law was also here, Liu Family’s eldest brother couldn’t help but think more deeply for a moment, then nodded.
Eldest sister-in-law Liu didn’t say much more, realizing that saying more was useless. Currently, both her husband and eldest son were injured, meaning even if they wanted to leave, they needed to wait until their injuries healed a bit.
On the other hand, although the Zeng family had no one injured, many around the village did, and two young men in their village were even beaten to death.
Facing death at such close quarters, to say they weren’t afraid would be a lie.
Moreover, their chosen residence was on the outskirts, and even if they wanted to move, there was nowhere to go. The good spots had long been taken.
Now, they lived in constant fear, worrying that someone might break through their defenses. If that happened, who knew if they’d survive.
Like eldest sister-in-law Liu, when danger came, the Zeng family couldn’t help but think of their third brother.
The eldest brother Zeng was infuriated and humiliated when the third brother exposed his plans that day, and cared little whether the third brother’s family went up the mountain.
It was only days later on the mountain that they realized the fourth brother hadn’t come with them. No need to guess where he went — surely he went to his third brother’s wife’s family.
For this, their parents and the rest of them often cursed loudly.
