Chapter 307: Chapter 297: The Truth

Yang Yu and Mi Dahu, seeing that many people had come, had recovered somewhat after lying down for a while. At that moment, they were struggling to get off their chairs. Upon hearing the words, one displayed a look of horror, while the other burst into crazy laughter.

"That’s right, it was me who pushed you into the water all those years ago. It’s a pity that you, this little beast, had such a strong will to live. I truly regret it, regret not taking the chance to finish you off later."

With venom in his voice, Mi Dahu yelled at Mi Erhu, "It’s all because of you. If it weren’t for you, all of the family property would have been mine alone. Since they’ve adopted me, by what right did you still come here to be born?"

"You beast, I’ll fight you with everything I have. How have Old Mi and I ever wronged you that you want to harm our own son? Sure, we had another child, but did we ever deprive you of food or clothing, hit you, or scold you, or even given you a hard time? And yet you’re so malicious that you can’t bear the sight of Erhu?"

The moment Mi Da Nainai heard this, she exploded, rushing over to Mi Dahu and striking him. Mi Dahu viciously pushed her away and shouted with veins bulging in his neck, "Your kindness to me was all fake, just a show for others to see. If you were truly kind, would you have given birth to Mi Erhu?"

"Oh, Old Mi, when Erhu came back and told us it was Dahu who pushed him into the water, you didn’t believe it. What a sin! If we had known this would happen, we wouldn’t have adopted this wolf in sheep’s clothing; we’ve raised a tiger only to invite trouble," Mi Da Nainai cried out to Old Mi.

Old Mi went to support his wife and suddenly seemed ten years older, his face streaming with tears, "Such misfortune for our household, such misfortune."

Standing next to the elderly couple, Mi Erhu and Wu Jia also looked indignant. Had it not been for others holding him back, Mi Erhu would have gone over and fought with Mi Dahu.

The few people who had arrived all displayed looks of disbelief as they stared at Mi Dahu, their gazes filled with shock, scorn, and anger...

"Don’t listen to Mi Dahu’s nonsense; he’s gone mad, he’s talking crazy," Yang Yu burst out in disheveled rage, clamoring to the people around. She was still rational, knowing that if her husband’s actions were exposed, none of their family of three would have good days ahead.

"You’re the crazy woman, the one who’s clearly lost her mind is you. I haven’t even settled accounts with your parents for hiding your madness from me," Mi Dahu yelled at Yang Yu, looking deranged, which only confirmed that what Yang Yu said was correct, and everyone suddenly realized—Mi Dahu had indeed gone mad.

The words of a madman cannot be taken seriously.

Most of the crowd quietly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, it’s something most people in the village did not want to accept—that such a cruel person had emerged from amongst them.

So, some people began comforting Old Mi and Mi Da Nainai, "Your eldest son seems to be possessed by madness. You shouldn’t take his words to heart."

"What he said is true..." Mi Erhu said anxiously.

"How can you be so thoughtless, child." Mi Erhu’s elder from the Mi Family Clan, who he should call Uncle Mi San, looked at him dissatisfied.

"Uncle San, how can you say that? It’s clear Dahu is malicious. He even confessed it himself!" Mi Da Nainai, seeing her own son being accused, couldn’t help but protest indignantly.

"Sister-in-law, you can’t speak like that. Didn’t Dahu suddenly go mad? How can we believe what he says now? If this gets out, where will the reputation of our entire Mi Family Clan stand? You have to consider the greater good," Uncle Mi San said with a stern face.

...

Lu Yun’s eyes flickered, sensing a significant problem with Mi Dahu’s family. Without hesitation, she quickly released more of the "truth serum," ensuring Mi Kang also inhaled some.

As expected, Mi Kang did not disappoint and burst out at the elder Mi couple, shouting, "You two old fools, why aren’t you dead yet? Faking illness every day for your precious son, just hurry up and be done with it. Once you die, the family fortune will be ours. Your darling son is the murderer who will end your lives, and he won’t get a penny of the inheritance; he’ll be kicked out penniless."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly fell silent, staring at Mi Kang as if he were a monster, even Mi Sanchu, who had been defending Mi Dahu, was stunned.

"Humph, my father didn’t manage to drown you when you were a child, but from now on, whether you have sons or daughters, I’ll make sure to wipe them out, one by one, to get them reincarnated early. Every child you have, I’ll strangle, unlike my incompetent father, who couldn’t even kill a child of that size." Mi Kang said with satisfaction, pointing at Erhu and Wu Jia.

"Kang, shut your mouth! What nonsense are you spouting?" Yang Yu almost fainted.

"That’s right, only my son is the capable one. That little beast Erhu should not have descendants; in the end, the family fortune will still belong to our branch. Damn it, it was a mistake back then; we should have made sure he drowned in the pond before leaving. All these years, wasting so much grain, and even paying for him to get married with our money... That’s my money! Those old fools, recklessly squandering my money..."

Beyond the father and son’s voices, the place was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

As the father and son casually discussed how to kill the old Mi couple and Erhu’s family, everyone’s faces turned ashen.

Yang Yu, in despair, looked at the foolish duo and was unable to utter a word.

Driven to extreme anger, the senior Mi family remained composed, the elder Mi casting a sarcastic glance at Mi Sanchu, who had been making excuses for Mi Dahu, "The words of one person are not credible, nor the words of two?"

Mi Sanchu, "..."

It wasn’t until Wen Shan arrived with the police from the county town station that the conversation between Mi Dahu and Mi Kang was interrupted.

Soon, a group of people were taken to the police station to provide statements.

During this time, Yang Yu insisted that Mi Dahu and his son were suddenly insane, speaking madness.

The police, to be cautious, followed Shitou and Lu Yun’s advice and specifically invited a psychiatrist from the county hospital to evaluate Mi Dahu and his son, finding their mental state to be perfectly normal.

In the end, Mi Dahu was detained on suspicion of attempted murder, and although Mi Kang was loose-tongued, he hadn’t committed any crime as yet, so after making his statement he was let off with a warning.

He and Yang Yu watched Mi Dahu being taken into custody at the police station and were scared stiff.

Back at the shop, the elder Mi spoke to the village secretary, "How I have treated Mi Dahu’s family over the years is there for all to see. When Erhu returned soaking wet, claiming Dahu pushed him into the pond, I couldn’t believe it. Thankfully, my wife had the foresight to keep a close eye on Erhu from then on. Otherwise, we might have ended up mourning the young with white hair."

The elder Mi, crying and sniffling, continued unabashedly, "Today I’m putting my pride aside to say this, I can’t have Mi Dahu’s family around me anymore. Otherwise, one day, the lives of my entire family might be at stake."
