Chapter 587: Counterattack of the Original Female Lead 22
"Alright, thank you, but that person is not my mother-in-law. She is a criminal."
Wang Shufang showed a distressed and resentful expression on her face, "I am Wang Shufang, a Knowledge Youth Courtyard member from Fengshui Village in the county suburbs. That old woman is the wife of the village head of Fengshui Village. Yesterday, she and her foolish son schemed against my innocence. I’m going to report to the Public Security Bureau. Nurse, can you help me go to the Public Security Bureau? I beg you, I..."
Tears immediately welled up in Wang Shufang’s eyes.
The nurse did not expect such malicious occurrences in the countryside. She hurriedly replied, "Comrade Wang Shufang, don’t cry. I’ll help you report to the Public Security Bureau. We will definitely not let the wrongdoers get away."
After the nurse finished administering Wang Shufang’s medication, she hurried to the director’s office.
...
At noon, Yuan Chun had just finished work when they saw several police officers arrive at the entrance of the village. Shortly afterward, the whole Wang family was taken away by the police.
Cao Meng watched the group of people walk away and nervously asked in a low voice, "Yuan Chun, this must be Wang Shufang who reported to the police. Do you think this matter will implicate us too?"
Yuan Chun patted her hand to comfort her, "Wang Shufang’s matter has nothing to do with us. We weren’t the ones who pushed her into the river, nor did we tell Sha Er to sleep with her, and certainly didn’t take away her legs. She can’t link it to us."
Cao Meng seemed reassured, letting out a heavy sigh and patting her chest, "That’s good, that’s good. I’m most scared of dealing with the police. From childhood to adulthood, I have never done anything bad."
"Look at you, so timid. You haven’t done anything bad, what are you afraid of? Let’s go. If we don’t leave now, we’ll miss lunch."
Yuan Chun pulled her along towards the Knowledge Youth Courtyard.
That day, the Wang Family didn’t return.
The team leader went to the Public Security Bureau in the afternoon and learned that Sha Er from the Wang Family committed a crime of rape, and the rest of the Wang Family were accomplices. This entire family, young and old, had to be sent to the farm for reform through labor.
After the team leader returned, this news spread quickly.
Yuan Chun felt that sending the Wang family to the farm for reform through labor was too lenient. They were farmers themselves—wherever they farm, it’s the same; this punishment is as good as no punishment.
The original subjects, Yan Hui and Yuan Chun, deserved justice—an eye for an eye.
Thus, in the middle of the night, she stealthily went to the county town, and with a few strikes of lightning, she crippled Sha Er and the village head’s wife.
Both of them lost a pair of legs.
The wounds looked exactly like Wang Shufang’s.
Now, the police, witnessing such a bizarre occurrence for the first time, were too scared to keep them in the Public Security Bureau any longer. Early the next morning, the officers packed up the Wang family and sent them to the farm.
As for the house and work points of the Wang Family, they were awarded to Wang Shufang as compensation.
Although Wang Shufang lost both legs, she could apply to return to the city through the Knowledge Youth Department, but she didn’t. She only applied to transfer to a major hospital to fit prosthetic limbs.
The director approved her application.
After all the cabbages from Fengshui Village were sold, Yuan Chun and Yan Hui received their marriage certificate, held a banquet, and moved into a newly built adobe house. Only then did Wang Shufang return to Fengshui Village.
Wang Shufang came back to Fengshui Village just as the villagers were finishing their work for the evening. When everyone saw her walking back into the village, they all looked shocked.
"Ah, Wang Zhiqing is back. Your... your legs are healed?"
"Oh my, how... how did the missing legs come back again?"
"Wang Zhiqing, weren’t your legs struck by lightning and gone?"
