Chapter 140: Vengeance Comes Not Late, But Exactly on Time
Then, with a smile that belied the knife-twisting words, she said, "Let your wife rot in jail, and because of her deeds, let your daughters, beautiful as flowers, never be able to lift their heads for the rest of their lives.
"Who knows, with good luck they might even marry into the Mao Family of Beipo Village, making you, Zhao Pulin, a person of significance in these parts. So, what do you think, want to give it a try?"
Zhao Pulin really didn’t know what to say in that moment; his mind went blank and he seemed somewhat dazed.
Then Luo Qiao took a few steps back and shouted, "Considering we’re all from the same village, I won’t hold this against you this time. But if there’s a next time, and you spout such nonsense again, don’t blame me for not being polite.
"You all should leave, lest others think I’m being unreasonable in victory."
Zhao Pulin, gripping Gao Suhua tightly, walked towards home while Luo Qiao called out from behind, "Remember, good is repaid with good, evil with evil; it’s not that it won’t be repaid, the time just hasn’t come yet."
After these words were spoken, everyone looked at the hastening figures of Zhao Pulin and his wife leaving and felt certain that the couple had done something wrong for Luo Qiao to have caught them by the tail.
The Zhao Family’s sisters, who had been hiding in the crowd, had wanted to defend their parents, but seeing the man by Luo Qiao’s side, they knew he was not to be messed with. Didn’t they see their parents had already slipped away?
As Gao Suhua was about to reach the steps, about to disappear from sight, Luo Qiao’s hand quickly threw a stone, and a series of yells rang out.
Gao Suhua and Zhao Pulin, whom she was gripping, both tumbled and rolled down the steps. The Zhao Family’s daughters, who thought their parents were about to go to work, now wondered why they were heading home.
