Chapter 591 - 589: Give Us Justice
"Mother, weren’t those just angry words I spoke to you before? You didn’t take them seriously, did you?" Wang Yongan looked pitifully at Old Granny Zhang, having been chased and beaten for quite some time without daring to fight back. His hair had come undone, and his clothes were dirty. Every movement caused a searing pain all over his body—he was truly in a sorry state.
Wang Yongzhu watched Wang Yongan with a cold eye, indeed recognizing him as thick-skinned and black-hearted. Initially, he had intentionally sought to take Wang Yongfu’s life, showing no concern for whether his family members lived or died.
Now, however, in his own words, everything was borne of hardship. He claimed it was all for the glory of the Wang Family, and that he had had no choice but to resort to desperate measures.
As for harming Wang Yongfu, that simply wasn’t true!
Even taking away the property deeds and selling the land—he was now returning with silver to redeem it all, wasn’t he?
With this explanation, his grievous mistake of nearly being expelled from the household became a minor one.
Seeing the look of interest on Wang Laozhu’s face, Wang Yongzhu knew that he was swayed.
To this father, his lifelong obsession had been to bring glory to his ancestors, and for Wang Yongan to become an official.
Now that Wang Yongan had returned claiming he had achieved this goal, in Wang Laozhu’s eyes, this son was perfect. As for the theft of the property deeds, that was merely an extreme measure for extreme times.
Sure enough, Wang Laozhu glanced around—dusk was setting in. The whole family was gathered at the door; what would people think?
He coughed and said, "What are you all doing standing at the door? Waiting for others to laugh at us? Let’s go inside and talk."
