"Hehe, that’s because I’m upright and just, and Kong Demin didn’t catch doing anything wrong.
Besides, village chief, do you an they hard , and I have to forgive them?
How can such a thing happen in the world? If it were you, you’d do the sa."
"I wouldn’t. We’re from the sa village; I’d never go to extres."
"Hehe, well, that’s not .
Village chief, if Kong Demin was really upright and just, even if I wanted to take him down, I wouldn’t have a way. So the problem lies with him.
Now it’s soone from the city handling this matter; it’s not up to you to have your way."
"Xinyu, we’re all from the sa village. Why didn’t you co to first about reporting Demin? I would certainly stand up for you."
"Oh? Did he inform the village chief when Kong Demin and Kong ngjie hard ?"
"Xinyu, I know you’re really angry, but we see each other often. It’s best not to be too harsh."
Now that emotions didn’t work, is it ti to resort to threats?
"Hehe, the Kong Family really has double standards. When you harm others, it’s forgivable. When others do sothing slightly against your wishes, then they deserve divine punishnt.
I just want to ask why? Why? Just because your family has a big face? You don’t need to threaten . Since I dared to report using my real na, I’m not afraid of anything.
Not to ntion you’re the village chief now, even if you held a higher position, it wouldn’t matter."
Kong Zhongyou listened to Jiang Xinyu’s resolute words and knew there was no room for negotiation for his second son in this matter.
He took a deep breath. "Xinyu, don’t let the emotions get to you. Since Demin’s situation is already like this, maybe you can help with ngjie’s situation?
She only listened to Demin, and besides, didn’t the incident not happen?"
Jiang Xinyu smiled gently at Kong Zhongyou. "I wonder, village chief, do you know? Soone wanted to commit murder but didn’t succeed, yet he was still executed. Do you know why?"
At this point, Kong Zhongyou stopped speaking. It seems this situation will not be resolved without a fight.
He sighed, didn’t say anything, and turned to leave. He should go to the committee to check on his son; it would be best if he saw him.
Maybe he can find a way; he knows he can’t do it alone. Xinyu was right; he was rely a village chief, which ans little outside.
Kong ngjie followed behind her dad. With her pride, she could never bring herself to ask Jiang Xinyu for rcy.
However, Kong Dehong didn’t leave. He looked at Jiang Xinyu.
"Can’t you really forgive my brother? He might die because of this. You’re unhard, right?"
Jiang Xinyu shook her head in disappointnt. She thought there was a sensible person in the Kong family, but evidently, they’re all the sa.
"Kong Dehong, if your brother knew that child was yours, how would he react?"
Kong Dehong looked at Jiang Xinyu in horror. How did she know about this matter? He fled in panic.
Jiang Xinyu just chuckled and turned to enter the textile factory. The Kong family was still as selfish as ever. Brotherhood and loyalty were all fake.
Xiao Liu followed behind Jiang Xinyu, feeling imnse admiration for Vice Factory Director Jiang. So formidable, there was nothing Vice Factory Director Jiang couldn’t handle.
Kong ngjie took Kong Zhongyou to the committee. The gatekeepers here had changed, and Kong Dehong couldn’t take them inside; only he could enter.
"Dehong, you go in yourself and see if you can et your brother. I’ll head back with your sister. If you get any news, inform imdiately."
Kong Dehong, still in fear, nodded and entered the committee.
Kong ngjie took her dad ho and imdiately started preparing lunch.
"Dad, go lie down on the kang. When the food’s ready, I’ll call you."
Kong Zhongyou indeed felt powerless. Without the energy to speak, he went directly inside to lie down on the kang.
His mind was a ss. His four children were his pride, all having official jobs in the city. The whole village envied him. But now, this situation has occurred, and he won’t be able to hold his head up in the village anymore.
At noon, Huang Hongwei returned with food from the canteen.
"Hongwei, Dad’s here."
Huang Hongwei was stunned for a mont, imdiately understanding who his wife was referring to.
He entered the room, saw his father-in-law lying on the kang, dared not make a sound, and withdrew.
He sat down to help with the fire. "ngjie, does Dad know about your brother’s situation?"
"Yes, Dehong ca this morning to find , and the two of us went ho together. Dad ca along too.
We went to find Jiang Xinyu, but she’s determined and wouldn’t budge.
We went to the committee, but Dehong couldn’t take us inside, so we had to return ho and wait for news."
Huang Hongwei knew it would turn out this way. If he were in Jiang Xinyu’s shoes, he’d never forgive those who wanted to harm him either. But he dared not say this aloud.
When lunch was ready, Kong ngjie called Kong Zhongyou to eat.
"Dad."
"Hongwei, you must not abandon ngjie in the future."
"I won’t, Dad, don’t worry. I’d never do such a thing."
Kong ngjie specially stead egg custard for her father, but Kong Zhongyou didn’t eat a single bite. "Save it for the kids." He only ate three-grain flour buns.
"Dad, you should eat. I’ll steam more this evening for them. You really scared this morning when you felt unwell. Please eat sothing good; my brother’s waiting for you to save him."
"Sigh, what can I do? If it were anyone else, I could ask for Xinyu’s help. She’s the one I know with capability. Now I just hope Dehong can et your brother; he’s been outside for years, surely he knows capable people.
By the way, what about his in-laws? And his wife?"
"Aunt is being guarded. I don’t know about my sister-in-law’s condition either."
"What does aunt have to do with this?"
Kong ngjie hesitated for a mont, then decided to speak.
"Dad, everyone outside is saying Changjun is my brother’s son. They say before Gan Shuling died, they were already together, and even say Gan Shuling was angered to death by them."
The hand holding the chopsticks trembled intensely from anger.
"ngjie, go find your sister-in-law this afternoon. They’re married; how can she not show up?"
"Hmm, I’ll go soon."
Huang Hongwei didn’t say a word; whatever he said wouldn’t be appropriate given the situation.
They hadn’t finished eating when soone knocked on the door.
Huang Hongwei opened it, inviting Kong Dehong inside.
"Dad, my sister-in-law, I an, Sun Hongxia already filed for divorce this morning, and submitted applications for severing ties."
This made Kong Zhongyou drop his chopsticks onto the kang.
Kong ngjie hurriedly crawled over. "Dad, don’t get anxious. The family is waiting for you to decide and save my brother."
