Just then, Li Wazi suddenly said, “You all can eat now, I’ll go take a look.”
He had wanted to go in the first place, but Ye Mo asked him to take care of the house.
“Brother Li, I’m coming with you.” Ye Ling got up and followed.
Li Wazi intended to go alone, but before he could say anything he heard Liu Duo say, “Go together, but don’t stray too far. Perhaps Liuzi and Mo are already on their way home.”
She knew Ye Ling did not like to be protected all the time and be seen as the weak brother with a disability.
He had a wife now, and he would be a father soon. He wanted to contribute to the family!
“Duo Er, you all can start without us,” he said before leaving with Li Wazi.
He could always eat later.
Liu Duo nodded. Then, she went to the balcony on the fourth floor to see them off.
On the other side, Ye Liu and Ye Mo were on their way home.
“Liu, we absolutely cannot kill the dog!” Ye Mo said angrily.
He knew how his wife valued and loved Hei Xiaomeng. She treated it like it was family, and not just an animal.
If they killed Hei Xiaomeng, their wife would be devastated! He did not want to see that, even though he did not like dogs.
When Grandmother Ye made the report, she had two requests. She wanted medical compensation and for Hei Xiaomeng to be killed off!
She said the dangerous dog had to die to prevent future mishaps.
Ye Liu walked steadily forward without glancing at Mo. He did not look angry.
He looked sideways at Ye Mo, who was filled with rage. “Mo, why are you so worked up? Anger won’t do you any good.”
“Liu, how can you not be mad at that she-devil? I for one would have choked her right then and there!”
“Why let someone like that spoil your mood? Think of her as a clown who regularly performs antics to spice up our ordinary lives.”
Ye Liu was more likely to turn the other cheek. The clown was known for bringing trouble and doing things to provoke them. Succumbing to anger would mean voluntarily falling for their tricks.
“The county magistrate hasn’t even finalized a decision yet, what’s the rush?” Ye Liu said disapprovingly. “Tomorrow, with the villagers who were witnesses that day, I’m sure the county magistrate will provide a proper conclusion.”
Even if the county magistrate sentenced Hei Xiaomeng to be killed, Ye Liu would think of a way to save the dog’s life.
There were some disagreements in the statements given by Ye Liu and Grandmother Ye, so the county magistrate could not just refer to their sides of the story.
Therefore, the county magistrate had extended the trial. He asked to speak to several witnesses tomorrow before giving the final verdict.
“I know that, but I just can’t contain all this anger! I really, really want that evil woman dead! She’s always looking for trouble!”
Ye Mo gave in to hatred and gritted his teeth.
The two brothers walked in silence on the familiar road.
“Ling, slow down. You might fall,” Li Wazi said, looking sideways at Ye Ling.
The younger one replied firmly, “I’m not afraid of falling. I just want to meet my brothers soon, or find them in town. And I want to know the results of the trial!”
