Chapter 2454: Chapter 2454: Who Do You Think You Are? (2)
The villagers also began to criticize one after another, some even demanded to kick the Ma Family out of the village and drown Wang Baozhu in a pond.
Wang Baozhu lay on the ground for a long time without getting up, not because she didn’t want to, but because her knee was hit by something and she couldn’t get up.
"Are you okay?" Liang Xiaoyu turned her head to look at Yang Ruxin.
"You’re due earlier than I am." Yang Ruxin laughed, squeezing Liang Xiaoyu’s hand, "I’m fine, how about you?"
"I’m fine too." Liang Xiaoyu smiled as well.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves echoed outside, and soon a few fast horses galloped over, led by Xie Zhanfei, the arrest officer from the County Governor’s Office.
The citizens hurriedly made way for a large space.
Xie Zhanfei got off his horse, glanced around, and first walked to Yang Ruxin to bow with his fists clasped: "Greetings, Madam Ruyi."
"Thank you, Officer Xie, for your courtesy." Yang Ruxin nodded slightly.
Xie Zhanfei said nothing more, turned, and walked toward the Ma Family: "What exactly happened?"
The village chief hurriedly followed up and started explaining the situation.
Shortly after, two more horse-drawn carriages arrived, and Lizheng jumped down from the first carriage. He couldn’t ride horseback and had to follow the coroner in a carriage, so he arrived about two quarters of an hour late.
The coroner entered the yard, and the onlookers followed to the door to watch.
Yang Ruxin and the others didn’t go over.
Soon, a government official carried out a person covered with a white cloth and placed them in the second, relatively simple carriage.
Next, Ma Laifu was carried out, with his lower body entirely covered in blood. It was said that Wang Baozhu had bitten off his offspring’s root, and he had fainted. Tian Jinhua was also carried out, supposedly having fainted from fright, while Ma Gouzi’s leg had been chopped by Wang Baozhu. This whole family was to be sent to the medical clinic.
The coroner also reported another piece of news, which was that the child, over a year old, had also died and had long since stopped breathing. It was initially determined that he died from suffocation, and the fingerprints on the child’s neck confirmed that Wang Baozhu had choked him to death.
Yang Ruxin’s heart ached a little; she had seen that little boy before. Although he had some intellectual issues, he still had a sturdy and cute appearance.
Wang Baozhu was shackled with handcuffs and leg cuffs. When she passed by Yang Ruxin, her eyes nearly popped out as if she wanted to devour her: "Yang Ruxin, you won’t die well."
"No need for you to worry about how I’ll die in the future, but surely you won’t live much longer." Yang Ruxin spread her hands, "Heaven’s misdeeds can be forgiven; self-made misdeeds can’t be undone."
"I won’t spare you even as a ghost."
"There are so many people who hate me. What rank are you?" Yang Ruxin chuckled, "I’m always ready for you to come kill me."
Wang Baozhu wanted to say more but was pulled away by the government officials.
"What a mess!" Li Xiang had just received the news and ran over, just in time to hear Wang Baozhu’s words, and instantly displeased, she spit on the back of the retreating figure.
"Missed the whole show." Yang Ruxin pulled Li Xiang, stopping her from continuing to curse, and changed the topic.
"She’s preparing for marriage, literally ignoring what’s happening outside the window." Liang Xiaoyu teased.
"Of course, getting married is so hard." Li Xiang pouted.
"What nonsense?" Aunt Hehua, who had followed behind, raised her hand to slap her daughter.
"Ever since I got a younger brother, I think I was picked up." Li Xiang quickly dodged, causing Aunt Hehua to want to hit her again, but this time Dong Wenxiu stopped her.
With this playful banter, the uncomfortable emotions brought by the earlier tragedy were dissipated.
