Chapter 197: Chapter 197 Action_1

Xia Ningxing abruptly woke up from her nightmare, drenched in a cold sweat.

Sitting up in bed, she gasped for air, infinitely relieved that it had been just a dream; otherwise, she would have surely torn the culprit to pieces.

Although it had been just a false alarm, Xia Ningxing found herself unable to fall asleep again.

She even faintly heard some rustling noises coming from downstairs.

Due to the strange power within her, Xia Ningxing’s hearing was many times more sensitive than that of an ordinary person.

Could it be a thief?

Xia Ningxing’s eyebrows furrowed, her eyes instantly vigilant, she quickly flipped the blanket aside and tiptoed downstairs without making a sound.

Meanwhile.

Behind the eaves of Xia Ningxing’s home, Old Mrs. Xia hobbled along with a cane, accompanied by Uncle Xia.

In his hand, he carried a bottle of gasoline.

"Mom, are we really going to do this?" Uncle Xia swallowed nervously with fright.

Though he wasn’t a man of good character, he had never committed an act of murder or arson before.

"You coward! Spineless fool!" Old Mrs. Xia hissed at him: "Haven’t you forgotten? If it weren’t for that little bitch’s family, would you have wasted so much money for nothing, with your son still unable to get into No. 2 Middle School? Would your brother be in jail? Would your brother’s lover lose her twin boys? And would my foot have been injured?"

Each and every one of these issues was a towering debt of blood!

They were an irreconcilable vendetta!

She had long planned to seek revenge for her son, and now, if she didn’t act before Lin Lan’s family moved to the Capital City, where would she find that little bitch to exact retribution in the future?

She had once sworn that she would make Lin Lan’s family pay with blood!

As for the fear of getting caught and imprisoned for murder, she believed that as long as she was careful enough, no one would discover her deeds.

"She brought such misery upon our family, and now she thinks she can just relocate to the Capital City and live a carefree life? Dream on!" As Old Mrs. Xia spoke of this, her jealousy flared up, burning more fiercely than before—she was almost consumed by envy.

She simply couldn’t understand it. Lin Lan, that worthless woman, why was her life so good, managing to find such a wealthy family to marry into?

In her opinion, she should be serving her son for life, that’s what she deserved!

"You’re right, mom. It’s all because of them that we’re in this mess, we should indeed give them a lesson!" Reminded by her, Uncle Xia suddenly remembered how the family had spent all their savings in hopes that his son could attend No. 2 Middle School, only to be thwarted by Xia Ningxing, the little bitch. Hatred surged within him.

When anger surpasses reason, people are capable of anything.

Finally, he hesitated no longer and poured the gasoline around the Xia family’s house.

Little did he know, this whole scene had already been witnessed by many eyes.

Just as Uncle Xia was about to ignite the fire, a group of villagers armed with farming tools emerged from the shadows, shouting:

"Stop it! Have you all gone mad, Xia Aiguo and your family!"

"You actually dare to set fire to someone’s house, are you tired of living?"

"We have already reported this to the authorities; just wait and see, you will be imprisoned!"

"Xia Aiguo, Old Mrs. Xia, you are absolutely unworthy of being residents of Peach Blossom Village. I will publicly expel you from the village records!" The village chief was among the crowd, and he saw their crimes clearly.

He was so livid he was nearly exploding. Peach Blossom Village was currently in the running to be recognized as a civilized village, but they had created such a scandal!

If he didn’t expel these menaces from Peach Blossom Village, he wouldn’t be fit to call himself human!

"Chief, village chief!?" Both Xia Aiguo and Old Mrs. Xia were completely dumbfounded upon seeing such a large crowd, utterly astounded.

What on earth was going on?

Why had so many people appeared?
