"If you dare to dig up that grave, I'll bury you alive right next to it!"
My father’s eyes were bloodshot. "If you don’t believe me, go ahead and try!"
Wang Shuqin was Auntie's nemesis.
When she visited Auntie in prison, Auntie was rambling on and on.
Wang Shuqin sat to the side, leisurely applying nail polish she had taken from her bag.
"Sister, are you thirsty? Let me get you a bottle of water."
Auntie was so furious she nearly toppled over.
"Zhiwen's Wife! Don’t push your luck!"
Wang Shuqin blew on her nails. "Why would I dare?"
"The world is vast, but life is the most precious."
"If you’re feeling down, how about I take you to see a doctor?"
Auntie trembled with rage.
"If it weren't for your two ungrateful daughters, we wouldn't have ended up like this!"
"We never intended to do anything to you in the first place!"
"It’s you who don’t know what’s good for you!"
Wang Shuqin smirked. "So, you were being kind?"
"Kind enough to introduce my daughter to someone?"
Auntie nodded heavily. "Of course it was out of kindness!"
Bang!
Wang Shuqin slapped her across the face.
"Your so-called kindness will lead you to a bad end!"
"You have no right to meddle in my daughter's affairs."
"You worthless piece of trash, behave yourself!"
Auntie was stunned by the slap.
She screamed and recoiled.
"You... you..."
Wang Shuqin let out a cold laugh. "From today on, the power of life and death over the two cousins is in my hands."
"Their fate is mine to decide."
With that, she stood up and left.
Only Auntie's terrified wails remained.
In fact, long before the day of her capture, Wang Shuqin had secretly sent living expenses to the two cousins.
She even bought them tickets to their work city.
And she told them to fend for themselves and not to contact Uncle and Auntie anymore.
Wang Shuqin did this to protect her daughters.
She didn't want them to suffer any more harm.
It was also a way to frustrate Uncle and Auntie.
To keep them on edge in prison.
After finishing his last puff of smoke, my father felt a weight lift off his shoulders.
The gloom of the past few days vanished, and he appeared much more spirited.
"Tomorrow, we’ll head back to our hometown again."
Early the next morning, my father took us to the Village Party Secretary's house.
Due to previous matters, he faced quite a bit of trouble.
We had discussed this in advance.
This time, we came to apologize to the Village Party Secretary.
“Lao Chen, you... sigh.”
The Village Party Secretary, having heard the whole story, couldn't help but lament the insatiability of human nature.
“Isn't it just because of greed?”
“Looking for trouble when there’s none.”
My dad nodded, “I should have thought it through.”
“Don’t worry about the road construction; I will definitely fulfill my promise.”
“I’ll cover the costs; the village doesn’t need to spend a penny.”
The Village Party Secretary brightened up.
The previous unpleasantness was cast aside.
He immediately stood up and called someone over to finalize the matter.
Mother took us to Aunt Peng's house.
The gifts were generous.
We expressed our gratitude for her support when we were back in our hometown.
Aunt Peng received the gifts with a smile.
“The Lao Chen family has finally cleared things up.”
“Don’t worry; if you need help in the future, just come to me.”
Choosing an auspicious day, my dad relocated my grandparents' graves.
He selected two prime burial plots in the city for them to rest in peace.
Mother had some complaints about this.
"You say you’re tough," she remarked.
"But in reality?"
My father defended himself, "It's not the same."
"I'm just trying to put on a show of strength; I'm not really going to risk everything for that scumbag."
"I'm not stupid."
Mother shot him a glance, "Who knows?"
The verdict for Uncle's family was announced in spring.
Chen Dazhuang was sentenced to three years, while Uncle and Auntie each received one year.
This sentence wasn't particularly harsh.
However, it would likely be difficult for them moving forward.
After all, in their hometown, people who come out of prison usually can't hold their heads high.
Meanwhile, the two Cousins had already left their hometown.
Only Chen Dazhuang remained, with nothing to do.
I hope he can live a long life in the future.
He should earn some money for his son.
