Chapter 198: Chapter 198 Retribution_1

Just as they were utterly perplexed, Xia Ningxing pushed through the crowd, grinning as she approached, "Are you shocked?"

"With such a wonderful play acted out, how could I not invite all the uncles and aunties from the village to watch?"

"I must say, it was truly spectacular!"

As she spoke, Xia Ningxing mockingly clapped her hands.

When Xia Ningxing heard their malicious conversation, she immediately called up her mother and brothers and also had them hold off, secretly summoning the surrounding neighbors to come over.

The reason for this was to avoid their family catching Old Mrs. Xia red-handed, only for her to vehemently deny everything or to even run away. In such a case, it would be difficult for public authorities to convict them.

The reasons were several: first, there were no surveillance cameras here; secondly, fingerprint detection was not possible with the current level of development; and lastly, the ground around her house was covered with pebbles, so no footprints would be left.

Therefore, it was particularly hard to make a judgment.

It was just like when she first transmigrated, when Lu clearly saw her being pushed into the river by Pangya, but the other party simply refused to admit it, and in the absence of other evidence, the matter eventually came to nothing.

So, to be on the safe side and to prevent the case from being dropped, Xia Ningxing simply called for more people. With so many witnesses, they would not escape the charges of arson and intentional homicide!

"It’s you again, you little troublemaker, always ruining my plans!" Old Mrs. Xia’s eyes were blood-red like those of a beast, and with gnashed teeth, she looked as if she was eager to rush over and bite Xia Ningxing’s neck off.

"It’s not my fault, it’s all my mom’s doing, my mom told me to do it!" Uncle Xia didn’t expect to be caught red-handed in his wrongdoing, and now, trembling with fear, he pushed all the blame onto Old Mrs. Xia.

Old Mrs. Xia was already furious, but now she seemed on the verge of bursting a blood vessel. She kept hitting him with her walking stick, yelling, "Scum! Coward! Damn your mother’s eggs! I am your real mother!"

Watching the mother and son fight amongst themselves, the onlooking villagers couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

In the end, the public authorities took them away directly.

It was said that there were sentences and fines to be paid.

They would not be able to afford such trouble ever again.

But that was not the end of it. The next morning, sure enough, Xia Aiguo’s house caught fire.

The blaze was fierce and impossible to extinguish.

Although Xia Aiguo’s wife and children survived, their bodies were terribly burned.

It is said that early in the morning, while cooking, Xia Aiguo’s wife somehow fell asleep and failed to notice sparks flying from the bottom of the pot.

Then, this led to tragedy—the sparks quickly set alight the dry straw and firewood in the woodshed, spreading to the adjacent main house.

A perfectly fine house was reduced to ashes in an instant.

The people of the village couldn’t help but lament that one really shouldn’t commit bad deeds, otherwise retribution would surely follow!

Take, for instance, the family of Xia Aiguo.

Last night they attempted arson and now faced jail time and fines, not to mention their house caught fire, nearly claiming the lives of the wife and children.

"It’s truly retribution!" Mrs. Xia couldn’t help but spit in disdain, showing not the slightest sympathy.

If it weren’t for Bao’er’s timely discovery last night, it would have been their family perishing in the fire today.

They had already packed their luggage, just waiting for the public authorities to bring the demolition compensation so they could leave.

Because there was so much luggage, Mrs. Xia’s car was specifically loaded with it.

Xia Jiehao’s car carried the five brothers, while Ningxing took a ride in Lu’s car.

The three cars departed Peach Blossom Village in an orderly manner, while the surrounding onlooking villagers felt both envy and emotion.

From today on, those people would no longer belong to the same world as them!

The road now was full of potholes and muddy patches, and as the car shook and rattled, Xia Ningxing’s gaze lingered on the progressively distant Peach Blossom Village, and she couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

It seemed there was still a bit of reluctance...
