A car accident, our family of three crossed

After obtaining the consent of the constable, Song Ning quickly gave the old patriarch a look. The old patriarch understood and immediately called Shuisheng out from the crowd.

"Shuisheng, hurry up and drive the ox cart over here. Don't keep the officers waiting too long."

"okay!"

Shuisheng agreed and walked out of the crowd. The old patriarch led him for a walk and quickly told him not to rush back once he reached the county town, but to wait and see how things progressed before bringing back any news.

Shuisheng responded and left. Soon, an oxcart arrived. The old clan leader and the village head warmly invited several constables to get on the oxcart. They told Shuisheng, "Drive the cart carefully and don't bump the officers."

This series of actions made several constables feel a little embarrassed. They came to arrest people, not to be guests. After working as constables for so many years, this was the first time that they had not been hated or looked down upon for arresting people.

People are grateful for what they have received, and they are grateful for what they have received. Whether it is because of the wallet that has some weight or the attitude of these villagers, they will not make things difficult for Hang Shuheng. Today's trip is just to follow orders.

The oxcart moved forward slowly, and the people of Shangtang Village followed behind the cart for a short distance. Song Ning led Yangyang and walked in the front, watching the oxcart go farther and farther, until it disappeared from their sight, they did not look away.

The old patriarch advised: "Shuheng's wife, go back! I have already told Shuisheng to stay in the county and wait for news. We can't do anything for the time being, so go back and wait for news!"

Song Ning retracted her gaze, turned around to look at the old patriarch and said, "Uncle, thank you! I feel at ease with you around." She looked at the people around her again and felt everyone's concern, which touched her very much.

Even though every family in this village has their own little thoughts, when it comes to major issues, most people will not hesitate. "Thank you, everyone. I can feel your concern. When Xianggong returns safely, I will definitely hold a banquet to treat everyone to wine and meat."

Everyone saw that she was standing straight, without any sadness or self-pity because her husband was arrested and taken to the yamen. Her strength was admirable.

The group of people walked back, and just as they reached the Hang family's yard, Hang's mother rushed out, pointed at Song Ning and started cursing, putting all the blame on Song Ning.

"You are a jinx. Our family has never had a good life since you came into the family. Not only are you unlucky for your parents, but now you are also unlucky for your husband. I tell you, if Shuheng doesn't come back, I will tear you apart."

Song Ning was in no mood to argue with her, but she refused to give in. The old patriarch could not bear it and shouted angrily, "Shut up, isn't it chaotic enough now? Why are you making trouble here? Stay quiet and be quiet."

"But uncle, what should I do if Shuheng doesn't come back?" Hang's mother began to feel aggrieved.

Song Ning said coldly, "Do you understand the deep love between mother and son now? What were you doing before? Let me tell you, everything that happened today, including the incident where Brother Tiesheng had his leg broken, is related to your niece Zhang Cuiju. You'd better not let me see you let that bitch in again, or I'll let her come in upright and leave sideways."

When she said the last sentence, her aura was so strong that it shocked everyone. This was the first time that everyone had seen Song Ning like this. Hang's mother saw the shadow of her mother in Song Ning, the woman who made her unable to get any advantage no matter how hard she tried to find fault with her. She was immediately angry and scared.

Seeing that everyone was still concerned about the situation, and many people stayed here for a long time and couldn't bear to leave, Song Ning advised everyone: "Shuisheng won't be back for a while, so you should go back first. There is still work to do in the fields. Don't let our family's affairs delay everyone's work."

It was not a good idea to have so many people waiting here, so the old clan leader and the village head also began to help persuade them. In the end, the crowd gradually dispersed, and only the old clan leader and the village head's two families stayed in the Hang family to wait for news.

On the other side, on the way to the county town, Hang Shuheng closed his eyes and pretended to sleep calmly, which made the detectives wonder.

"I say, why do you look as if you are not worried at all?" asked the leading constable. Most people would be scared to death if they were arrested and taken to the yamen.

Hang Shuheng slowly opened his eyes and said, "As the saying goes, a person of integrity has nothing to fear from his own shadow. It's just a visit to the government office, so why should I be afraid?"

"You could offend anyone else, but you had to offend that guy. Our county magistrate doesn't care about anything, and the county magistrate has the final say in the yamen. You're like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth once you enter the yamen." The constable sighed.

"Then in your opinion, how do you think this situation should be resolved?" Hang Shuheng asked with a smile.

"Don't ask me, I don't know anything. We are just following orders to bring you back to the government office, that's all. If anything happens to you after you enter the government office, you can't blame us brothers."

Hang Shuheng smiled and didn't say anything. Seeing that he stopped talking, the constable couldn't help but say one more thing: "If you ask me, once you enter the government office, you'd better follow their wishes. Saving your life is the most important thing."

"Thank you for your reminder, I'll keep it in mind."

No matter how the constable looked at it, he felt that Hang Shuheng was just trying to please him, as if he didn't take his words to heart. Well, everyone has their own destiny, so why should he care?

The old clan leader and the village head stayed at the Hang family to wait for news, and waited for the whole afternoon. Shuisheng returned to Shangtang Village before the sun set. The news he brought back was that Hang Shuheng was taken to the county government office, and was not even interrogated. He was treated as a thief and was directly imprisoned in the county government jail.

"He was thrown into jail without even a trial? What should I do?"

Upon hearing that the situation was not good, even the old clan leader and the head of the village became anxious and angry. Hang's mother even started crying at the top of her lungs. In contrast, Song Ning remained relatively calm.

"Uncle, Uncle Village Chief, don't worry. There is still room for maneuver until the last moment. I believe my husband will be able to protect himself in there."

Her words calmed the two elders' anxiety to a great extent. After a moment's silence, the village head couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Uncle, we are over a hundred years old together. When we encountered such a big thing, we are not as steady as a little girl like Shuheng's wife. I am really ashamed..."

"Shuheng's wife, you are great. All the women in our Hang family combined are not as good as you." The old patriarch stroked his beard and gave Song Ning great affirmation.

Song Ning sighed: "When my husband was here, I could stand behind him with peace of mind and didn't have to worry about anything. Now that he's gone, I have to stand up for myself. There's no point in feeling sorry for myself."

"well said!"

The news they were waiting for had already arrived. Seeing that it was getting late, Song Ning advised, "Uncle, Uncle Village Chief, you have also been waiting here for a day, and now you have received the news. You should go back and rest early. We can talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow."
