Chapter 400 I've heard of people stealing credit, but this is the first time I've seen som
Chu Xin stayed at Chu Huaimin's place until after 9 p.m. before leaving.
She came by climbing over the wall, and she didn't plan to leave through the main gate.
That's right, she seems to have some kind of karmic conflict with the farm's fence; every time she passes by, something always seems to happen that causes her to bump into something.
Sure enough, even when we were still a little distance from the wall, we could hear people arguing.
Looking up at the sky, Chu Xin was puzzled. It would be one thing if it were dark, but to do this under such a big moon tonight, was it just audacity or a sign of refined taste?
Thinking of the beggar she had tricked so badly in the past, Chu Xin decided to turn her feet and move closer to the source of the sound.
She thought to herself that she was only going to check it out for the safety of her parents and family, not to eavesdrop on gossip.
They walked quietly and held their breath, so no one noticed that there was another person eavesdropping.
At the same time, Chu Xin had excellent eyesight. With just one turn, she could clearly see what was happening in a hidden corner by the large moon in the sky.
A fairly robust man was wielding a wooden stick and approaching another man who was as thin as a monkey, speaking in a vicious and aggressive tone.
"If there's nothing to eat, you can die slowly, but if you get food, you might die immediately!"
Liang Shangyou, after all this time, can't you still see reality?
"Since we've already been brought to this place, can't we just accept our fate? Why do we have to resort to such underhanded tactics? What, are you tired of living?!"
"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Trying to find a backer? You're dreaming!"
The man he forced to retreat was none other than that unfortunate beggar.
Oh, he seems to have mentioned that his name is Liang Shangyou.
Tsk tsk tsk, what kind of accident-prone personality does this kid have? He always chooses places like these to get beaten up.
The place, the time, and the victim were all so familiar; it has to be said, he was truly unlucky.
"I refuse to accept my fate! I did nothing wrong. You're all meddling too much. What's wrong with me walking around the farm?"
I'll do any extra work you give me, and I'll endure any extra hardship you give me. Do you really want to restrict my personal freedom?
Don't tell me I haven't committed any crimes; even if I had, it's your job to hunt me down and punish me!
Faced with the man's sarcasm, Liang Shangyou's already timid heart was stirred up with a rebellious spirit.
Why?
Why treat him like this? He did nothing wrong!
The man interrogating him was rather volatile. When confronted, he viciously swung his stick twice, the whooshing sound of it cutting through the air was frightening. He grinned, a malicious grin on his face.
Whether someone is guilty or not is not up to you to decide!
We brought you all this way here to atone for your sins. You have no choice but to suffer, that's fate. Just accept it obediently and don't resist, and you'll suffer less.
Kid, if things really don't work out, just die. It'll end it all!
Chu Xin raised an eyebrow. Was this beggar a suspect?
That doesn't make sense either. Why would a suspect end up here? They should be in jail.
And this man with the stick, he incites people to die with just a few words, what kind of grudge must he have?
But thinking about my own family's situation again, in this world, no matter how irregular something is, it doesn't seem so incomprehensible.
Chu Xin didn't want to concern herself with other people's karma. Although everyone who came here was miserable, who said that all those who were miserable were good people?
Besides, I've already helped him once. Sigh, although I've also hurt him, it was all his own fault. Who told him to have such impure intentions?
Thinking of this, Chu Xin turned around and wanted to leave.
Since arriving here, Liang Shangyou has been living a life of oppression, humiliation, and trampling. In order to survive, he has even given up his human dignity.
These people were trying every means to force him to his death, and the long-standing oppression caused the resentment that had been building up in his heart to finally erupt.
"You wicked people all deserve to die!"
I did nothing wrong, why are you treating me like this? Zhao Dabao's death has nothing to do with me, the police have already determined the cause of death, yet the Zhao family still treats me like this, even tormenting me while I'm in the countryside. Is there no justice in this world?!
You want me dead? Fine, then we'll all die together!
The man, not expecting that someone who had always been silent would dare to talk back, let out a mocking laugh.
Ordinary people like this, without power or influence and without any backing, are like weeds—incompetent yet stubborn. If they don't die, who will?!
The man thought, his evil intentions rising, what difference would it make if he killed someone directly? As long as he exposed that Liang Shangyou was a murderer after the incident, he could say that Liang tried to kill him to keep the secret, but ended up killing him instead. This reason made perfect sense.
Anyway, he'll be dead by then, so the truth will be decided by the living.
The more the man thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Evil thoughts arose, and the desire to kill arose. Without the slightest hesitation, he struck down with the stick in his hand.
"Fuck you, want to die? I'll grant your wish!"
Liang Shangyou may have truly been driven mad. As if he didn't see the stick hurtling towards him, he licked his chapped lips and fiercely lunged at the man.
"Since I'm going to die anyway, I don't want to starve to death. If I have nothing to eat, I'll use you as a sacrifice!"
To be honest, his sudden delirious appearance was quite intimidating. The man who was pointing the stick at him trembled for a moment, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind to hit him a few more times to make him completely dead.
Otherwise, it would definitely be a disaster.
Just then, Chu Xin made her move. With a thought, the stones at her feet flew up and smashed towards the assailant at an extremely fast speed.
The man was caught off guard and hit squarely on the head. With his head bleeding, he reduced the force of his stick, but he still managed to hit Liang Shangyou.
Both of them cried out in pain at the same time and fell to the ground.
"Hey! Who goes there? Get your ass out here!"
The man looked around furtively, not daring to raise his voice.
It's clear he knew that wandering around the farm late at night would be punished.
Chu Xin walked out slowly and stood there calmly.
"Should I call someone over for you?"
As she gradually revealed her figure, both of them were stunned. Liang Shangyou didn't even care that his head was bleeding. He wiped the blood with his sleeve and looked at Chu Xin anxiously.
"What? It's you? What are you doing here? Get out of here!"
Chu Xin glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, thinking that he shouldn't try to be a good person to her when he was already in such a sorry state.
She only looked at the man who committed the crime, "The Zhao family of Southern Province?"
This is why Chu Xin returned – Zhao Dabao, an old acquaintance!
He then asked, "Is Zhao Dabao really dead?"
Judging by the timeline, he must have been dead for quite some time.
When I was scamming the beggar, he mentioned that his hometown was in the Southern Province. I never expected it to be such a coincidence; it turns out to be the same Southern Province that Zhao Bin came from.
When the two men heard her mention Zhao Dabao and ask if he was dead, they were both startled and said in unison:
"How did you know?!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Xin glanced at the two of them. One voice was full of doubt, and the other was trembling with fear.
Back then, the kick she gave Zhao Dabao, even though she was dizzy and lightheaded, was still something that not everyone could withstand.
Moreover, Zhao Dabao is a pampered good-for-nothing.
She knew he was going to die, but hearing the definite news from someone else still surprised her.
I just don't understand how this got involved with beggars?
I've heard of people stealing credit, but this is the first time I've ever seen someone steal the blame.
