Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s-Chapter 773 The Way of Heaven is a Cycle, Whom Does Providence Forgive

The villagers immediately started a heated discussion: "My goodness, the Zeng family is really ruthless."

"No wonder the Zeng family could afford to keep marrying off their grandsons without seeming to be strapped for cash; they had a way to make a fortune."

"That old Mr. Zeng is really incredible, isn’t he? It’s all about spending the Luo family’s money to support their whole clan."

"This is just too despicable."

The Zeng family’s clan leader looked at the Luo family members: "How do you think we should settle this matter?"

Luo Daoren said: "The Zeng family should return the money they took from my cousin and my second uncle to my nephew."

The clan leader furrowed his brows: "You know, they have spent a lot on building a house and taking wives; they can’t afford that much money."

Luo Daoren looked at Old Master Zeng with contempt: "There’s no room for discussion. If it really doesn’t work out, we will report it to the police, and let the authorities decide."

In that era, not many villagers were knowledgeable about the law, but what they least wanted was to get tangled up with the police.

The clan leader sighed, saying they needed to discuss it. Luo Qiao saw people from the second household fiddling with something in their hands, as if they were preparing to start a fight.

She walked straight to the edge of the yard and with a ’bang’ kicked at a not so thick jujube tree, breaking it instantly.

After kicking the tree, she looked at those from the second household with a sneer and then stood back next to her grandfather.

Whatever their discussion entailed, in the end, the Luo family received twelve hundred yuan—the entire savings of the Zeng family—and they also had them sign an agreement not to bother Luo Wensheng and Luo Wenxiu any further.

They also managed to benefit Uncle Zeng Baoliang. With the remaining money, they bought two rooms, compensating for the damages incurred that day, and the two rooms were given to Zeng Baoliang. These agreements were also signed by the village officials and the clan leader as witnesses.

After everything was settled, Zeng Baoliang stood there with the agreement in hand, his eyes red, stunned. He did not want to take advantage of his nephew, but his nephew said that they shouldn’t let outsiders benefit.

At this, people from the second and fourth households were upset and wanted to lash out at the Luo family, but they only heard Luo Qiao say to the villagers: "They were the ones who started this; we were just defending ourselves."

No sooner had she spoken than those few lay on the ground in various positions, unable to stand up from the pain, and no one else dared to stop them.

Right at that moment, a few uniformed police officers came by, saying they were there to investigate the situation in the village.

Only then did the people learn that Old Madam Zeng, her second son and his wife, her youngest son and his wife, as well as her eldest daughter had all been detained by the police.

At this news, the villagers became voracious gossipers, wishing they had more mouths to talk with.

But Old Master Zeng was stupefied—his wife, his second son and daughter-in-law, his youngest son and daughter-in-law, and his eldest daughter were all locked up, and he fainted from the shock.

The Luo family also recounted the events of the day to the officers and showed them the signed agreements.

Having explained everything, the Luo family then left the village, truly exemplifying the saying: "What goes around comes around, no one is spared by fate; it’s always best to advise people to be kind."

After staying for three days in Tang City and having a talk with Luo Wenxiu, who had no intention of returning to school, the Luo family, through Lu Yichen’s connections, arranged a job for her in the factory’s finance department.

Luo Qiao thought that even if she were to be laid off from this job in the future, she wouldn’t go hungry. They told them to save that money and bought them quite a few New Year’s goods before preparing to buy tickets to go home.

During these days, Lu Yichen’s comrade-in-arms, Qin Haifeng, had been a great help, even buying the train tickets for them. When the Luo family was leaving, Qin Haifeng said that Lu Yichen had already asked him to check in on them from time to time, so the Luo family could rest assured.

As Luo Qiao was leaving, she reflected on something and took a special look at Qin Haifeng and Luo Wenxiu. Her matchmaking heart thought that if Qin Haifeng wasn’t married yet, pairing him with her cousin wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Thinking about it, she decided to find out more from Lu Yichen once back in the Capital City. If Qin Haifeng was unmarried, perhaps introducing them could lead to something, and this way, they would also have peace of mind in the Capital City.

After the Luo family left, the legal outcome for the involved Zeng family members was reached. Old Madam Zeng, her second son, and his wife were sentenced to five years, while her youngest son, his wife, and their eldest daughter received three-year sentences.

Their case also implicated the person who sold them the knockout drugs, who was sentenced to two years. It was said that due to this, the family of the drug dealer beat up the Zeng family again and forced them to pay two hundred yuan in compensation.

The Zeng family was suddenly plunged back to life before the Liberation; their reputation was gone, and the children of the second and fourth households became pariahs.

Zeng Baoliang’s wife was relieved that her husband didn’t ask for too much when they separated, and they even got a hundred yuan out of it. The villagers said this was Zeng Baoliang’s good karma.

If it weren’t for speaking out in defense of Big Brother, they wouldn’t have ended up saying what they did. And if they hadn’t separated, they would have been stuck sharing the Zeng family’s hard life.

By the time Luo Qiao and her family returned to Capital City, it was already the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. Luo Haotian and Lu Yi, the father-in-law and son-in-law, came to pick them up at the station.

Back home, the family was waiting for them. After learning about the situation on the other side, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
