While the crowd was still shocked, the Xiao Family walked out of the Cheng Family house.
Due to the enmity between the Cheng family and the Xiao family, the neighbors were familiar with the Xiao family members too.
“Hey, aren’t those the grandparents of the Cheng family’s daughter-in-law?”
“Does that mean the others are also from the Xiao Family?”
“Tm afraid so.”
“Oh no, when did the Xiao family come to the Cheng Family?”
Every time the Xiao Family came to the Cheng Family, heaven and earth would shake. Everyone in the neighborhood would know.
It wasn’t that the Xiao family was unreasonable and wanted to cause a ruckus. It was that once the Xiao family came, the Cheng Family… well, just Ma Meixin, would start to curse loudly. She would tum into a shrew, humiliating everyone from the Xiao Family.
However, this time, the Xiao Family came, and it was so quiet in the Cheng Family. It was a little strange.
The Cheng Family’s neighbors got to know Grandma Xiao and the rest because of this. When Grandma Xiao came out and saw the gazes from the neighbors, she couldn’t help but burst into tears. She wiped away her tears and said, “This Cheng family is really ruthless. They locked up the doors and
windows tonight because they wanted to kill my granddaughter and her two girls. Thankfully, we came in time to stop them.”
Hearing this, the people around were surprised.
“What? The Cheng family wants to kill their little daughter-in-law?”
They couldn’t imagine that the Cheng Family would be so bold to commit murders!
Grandma Xiao nodded and said, “Yes. The Cheng family bought pesticide and put it into the chicken soup. Then, they forced my granddaughter and two great-granddaughters to drink it.”
“What?”
“When we arrived, Cheng Dawei and Cheng Feiping were holding my two granddaughters hostages. Cheng Liren tried to feed the soup to my granddaughters. The spoonful was lethal. My poor granddaughter and great-granddaughters were so close to being killed.”
Everyone,
“This is ridiculous. How can this Cheng family be so vicious? It’s already common for them to beat and scold their daughter-in-law and granddaughters, but do they actually want to kill? What era do they think they are in now? Do they think they can get away with murder?”
“I’s not a murder. It’s a triple murder.”
“How much hatred do they have that they need to commit to something like this? Their daughter-in-law and granddaughters didn’t even do anything wrong. If anything, it was the Cheng Family who mistreated them.”
“This Cheng Family is full of hatred.”
“It’s ridiculous that they’d go so far to resort to murder.”
“The Cheng Family brought this upon themselves. Grandma Xiao, then what happened to the Cheng Family?”
Grandma Xiao said, “When we rushed over, they were forcing my granddaughter to drink chicken soup. We were anxious, so we were harsh when we tried to save my granddaughter.”
Grandma Xiao was not sure how Ma Meixin and Cheng Liren’s hands were cut. Even if she knew, she wouldn’t share it. The police would handle everything.
The neighbors could guess the reason behind the Cheng Family’s serious injury. The Xiao Family probably bumped into the Cheng Family when they were trying to kill their daughter-in-law. A fierce conflict entailed.
In the past, the Cheng Family bullied Xiao Lingyun and her girls because they had the number advantage. However, this time, the table had turned. Many people came from the Xiao Family, and most of them were men in their prime. They must have overpowered the Cheng Family.
“This Cheng family really deserves it!” Someone said disdainfully, “This is a turn of events. In the past, they bullied you so ruthlessly and miserably. Now, they deserve to be taught a harsh lesson.”
The Cheng Family’s behavior also didn’t sit well with their neighbors. What made them even more unbearable was their cold-bloodedness, ruthlessness, and extreme selfishness.
Since the Cheng Family didn’t like this daughter-in-law and the two granddaughters, they should just ask for a divorce. The girl had agreed to the divorce. She didn’t even want anything but her two daughters. However, the Cheng Family refused her that.
‘The Cheng Family was powerful in Kanglin City. In contrast, the Xiao Family came from another place, and they had no one to rely here upon. Therefore, they could only be bullied by the Cheng Family. The Xiao Family wanted to take the two granddaughters away, but the Cheng Family beat the Xiao
Family up and sent them to the police station. The things that they had done were so inhumane.
The Xiao Family was pressed to the point where retaliation was inevitable.
The neighbors had no pity for the Cheng Family.
They said to Grandma Xiao, “Grandma Xiao, this Cheng family should indeed be taught a lesson. They actually thought about murder. Thankfully, they didn’t succeed. In the next few years, they’ll spend their lives in prison.”
Many people agreed. However, someone said with some doubt, “But we all know that the Cheng family has influence here. Is it possible that they’d get free and come after the Xiao Famil
It wasn’t like the Xiao family had never done something like this before.
At this time, Grandma Xiao said with relief, “Thank you for your concern. This time, we have evidence of the Cheng Family’s attempted murders.
“Even if they have influence, they can’t silence justice. If the police at Kanglin City won’t give us justice, we’ll bring it to the court!”
The neighbors were surprised that Grandma Xiao had evidence of the Cheng family’s crime.
The Xiao family had no power or influence in Kanglin City, and they all knew that. Otherwise, they would have rescued their daughter and granddaughters from the Cheng Family a long time ago. Clearly, something had changed. This made the neighbors look at the Xiao Family in a different light.
“Grandma Xiao, is what you said true?” Someone was obviously suspicious. “But how did you get this evidence?”
Grandma Xiao said, “I don’t know. Someone gave it to us.”
Grandma Xiao was not stupid. She didn’t tell everyone everything.
However, these words had another meaning in other people’s ears.
The Xiao Family now had people supporting them. At that moment, Xiao Lingyun and the others came out.
Xiao Jingyang and Yang Liu each held a child in their arms.
The children were so frightened. They were usually close to their grandparents, so they sought them out for comfort. They were also very sensible. They knew that their mom had just suffered a huge trauma, so they didn’t trouble her.
Behind them were Father Xiao and Mother Xiao, as well as Xiao Lingyu and Gong Tianhao.
Many people knew Xiao Lingyun. When they heard what had happened to her, they immediately asked with concern, “Miss, are you alright?”
Xiao Lingyun shook her head and said with a smile, “Thank you for your concern, Aunties and Uncles. I’m fine now.”
At that moment, her sleeves opened. Many people noticed the red marks on Xiao Lingyun’s arms. It was clear that she had suffered from domestic violence.
“Miss, were you beaten up?” Someone asked.
Xiao Lingyun said indifferently, “Yes, they do this often.”
When the onlookers heard that, they immediately said indignantly, “Often? Is this Cheng family even human? How can they mistreat their daughter-in-law like this? Miss, how much pain and suffering did you suffer in their family?”
Xiao Lingyun shook her head and said, “For my two daughters, no matter how much pain and suffering, it’s worth it.” At this point, she let out a heavy smile and said, “Fortunately, this is all in the past. In the future, the three of us will be free from the Cheng Family.”
The Cheng family had fallen too hard this time. It was impossible for them to get up again.
The neighbors were happy for her. They said, “Well, that’s good. The Cheng family has done too much evil and suffered retribution.”
Xiao Lingyun refused to leave the Cheng family because of her two daughters.
Now, the Cheng Family was in so much trouble themselves that they couldn’t stop Xiao Lingyun from taking her daughters anymore.
While chatting with Xiao Lingyun, many people noticed Xiao Lingyu and Gong Tianhao.
They couldn’t not do that. They were too dazzling.
One was beautiful, and the other was handsome and cold. Moreover, his temperament was extraordinary. At a glance, he didn’t look like an ordinary person.
“Miss, who are those two?”
