Chapter 155: Breaking the pot is equivalent to breaking half a child

"Fang Ping and his wife are good people. They always go to help other families when they have problems. So many families in the village remember his kindness and help him to take care of things. Fang Ping managed to handle his wife's funeral. I didn't see any other expression on his face during those days."

"After his wife's funeral, he brought Feihua to my house and gave me most of the remaining property in the house. He asked me to give Feihua a little every year. If Feihua doesn't live well in her husband's family, he asked me to support her. If it doesn't work out, she can divorce him and come back. The family's land and property will be notarized in the village for the time being, and Feihua will give them to him when she comes back."

"The more we listened to him, the more we felt something was wrong. It was as if he was going to make arrangements for his funeral. We were afraid that he would be upset, so we tried to persuade him for a long time. Feihua was so bitter that she cried and told him to live well. He told his father that he and his daughter were the only ones left in the world."

"How pitiful~" The village chief's wife sighed repeatedly when she recalled what happened that day.

"Fang Ping didn't want to make his only daughter worry, so he asked your aunt to take Feihua to the kitchen. He just told me that Feilong and Feihu were killed by that family. In addition to the figure he saw the night before Feilong's death, he also said that when they followed Feihu out, Tian Xizhen brought her family to the house and asked for the house to live in, and the land and property they had bought over the years to be given to them."

"At that time, Fang Ping and his wife were suspicious of them, so how could they agree? They said something unpleasant, so they inevitably quarreled, and Feihu coaxed them all out."

"That family of filthy people have been cursing outside the door all morning, saying that they will deal with Feihu sooner or later and make their family extinct."

"Moreover, after they came back, Tian Xizhen shamelessly went there all day long. She even said she wanted to introduce them to Fang Yuan's wife's niece, but Fang Ping's family didn't want to pay attention to her and would not let her in eight out of ten times. But when Fang Ping was sad and upset for a few days, they took advantage of the opportunity and went in once."

"Although she was discovered very quickly, Fang Ping said that her mother Tian Xizhen did enter the house that day. But after checking inside and outside, nothing unusual was found. But that night, Fang Ping was gone."

"Fang Ping is almost certain that it was his mother and his eldest brother's family who did it, but he has no evidence. After listening to me about Daye's laws regarding children suing their parents, he begged me to go to the county government and have his family property notarized and temporarily placed in the village. If Feihua lives well in the future, I will give her some every year. If not, she can come back as a support."

"After doing all this, he asked his son-in-law to take Feihua back home. He stayed at home alone for a few days. I went to see him every day, fearing that something might happen to him. But he just lay quietly on the bed, telling me that he was thinking about something and asked me not to worry, because he would not die until his revenge was taken."

"After those days, he started running back and forth between the village, town and county, and no one knew what he was doing. Every time we asked him about it, he would just say he was busy."

"Two days before he died, he came back from town and went to his eldest brother's house. No one knows what they talked about. When someone saw him coming out, he had a rare smile on his face and greeted many people along the way."

"I had some things on my hands during those days, and I wanted to go to his house after I was done with those two days. But within two days, he was suffocated by the charcoal."

"I went to his house after breakfast that day, but no matter how I knocked on the door, there was no response. I was very panicked at that moment, so I went to the nearest Zhao Youwang's house and asked his son to climb over the wall in the backyard to take a look. Zhao Quanfu climbed in and opened the door for me. When we entered the room, we saw that Fang Ping's lips and face were abnormally red, and there was a pot of burnt charcoal in the room."

"In March, even if there is still a bit of a cold snap, you wouldn't burn such a big charcoal fire. And Fang Ping is so old, he knows the dangers of burning charcoal in the house, but he was suffocated to death by the charcoal fire in March."

"I was almost mad with rage at the time. Only then did I completely believe that what Fang Ping said before was true. I went to Chen Fangyuan's house with a rage and wanted to take them to the police. I felt sorry for Fang Ping and I wanted to help him get justice."

"Perhaps you have also heard that I lost my temper at Chen Fangyuan's house that day. I was really furious. I went in and searched everywhere, trying to find evidence that they had murdered Fang Ping's family, but I found nothing."

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin searched their memories and it seemed that this was indeed the case. At that time, they had no good relationship with the people in the village. They only heard people in the fields next to them say that the village chief had gone crazy and smashed Chen Fangyuan's house while working in the fields.

"But this family was a tough guy. I couldn't do anything to them. I didn't look through much before they stopped me. Because I was the village chief, they didn't dare to hit me, but they said the most unpleasant things they could."

"I was also anxious and cursed back, but it was your aunt and the elders who came to drag me back."

"After I went back, I thought more and more that something was wrong. I think Fang Ping must have discovered something, so he went to their house, perhaps to persuade them to turn themselves in. But the family agreed verbally, but then turned around and planned to kill Fang Ping as well."

"Poor Fang Ping, maybe he thought this family could repent a little bit until his death, but it's a pity that they ended up hurting themselves."

"I couldn't get into Chen Fangyuan's house, so I went to Fang Ping's house and searched it inside and out, but I didn't find anything. I think Chen Fangyuan's family must have searched and destroyed it."

"I was unwilling to give up, so I went to the county government office to sue them for murder. The chief clerk and I had some friendship, so I went to him first and asked him to help write the complaint. After hearing what I said, he stopped me. He had seen too many cases in the county government over the years. I didn't have any evidence, and the case I was suing had nothing to do with me. I was afraid that I would go in first before their family went in."

"I was thinking about my family. What if I pissed them off? When I was in jail, what would I do if Chen Fangyuan's family attacked them? In the end, I had no choice but to accept my fate and return to the village to arrange Fang Ping's funeral."

"Feihua also came back. She was pregnant at that time and cried her heart out. I didn't dare to tell her about these things. I could only let your aunt persuade her."

"On the day of the burial, Chen Fangyuan's family and Tian Xizhen, who had not shown up before, showed up and said they wanted Feihong to break the pot for his second uncle. I was so mad at their shamelessness that I told them to get out. Even if Feihua came to break the pot, he had no right to do so."

"But boys have always been required to break the pot. Even if there is no boy in the family, the closest boy should be found to do it. Although I tried my best, I couldn't stop Feihong from breaking the pot for Fang Ping in the end."

"I know what they are planning. If they break the pot, it means they will lose half of their property. Then the huge fortune left by Fang Ping's family will be theirs."

"Unfortunately, their calculations were too loud."

"As soon as Fang Ping's funeral was over and the people who helped were still eating in the yard, Tian Xizhen brought her son and grandson into the house and searched everywhere, trying to find the land deeds and silver."

"Of course they couldn't find anything. They thought Feihua had taken it, so they went to force Feihua to hand it over. They said that a married woman shouldn't get too far. Feihong is already half of Fang Ping, so the family property should be given to them."
