"Our Changping Village, wasn't it just Wang Fu who went to prison? Back then, the four of them, Chen the Butcher and his sons, at the time of the incident, Chen the Butcher and his son Chen Hu were beheaded right there at Wa Shikou."

"Chen Xiong and Chen Gou Dan were sent to the north as common criminals. It was said that Chen Xiong died of illness halfway there,"

After Chen Goudan was sent to his assigned place, there was no further news about him. Even when a general amnesty was declared and Chen Goudan was released, the Chen family had long been removed from our village by their own people.

“The Chen family’s estate and land were all confiscated by the government. His release has nothing to do with our village, so who is this second person claiming him?”

"I just asked Baozhang if he was mistaken? Baozhang said that the person who came to deliver the notice also specifically said to contact the family and have them come quickly to claim it,"

“This is a female inmate, and she has a dog with her…”

When I heard this, I was dumbfounded. A woman, with a dog, our Hoer has been missing for over a year, no news at all, could it be…?

Yang Huazhong, upon reaching this point, couldn't help but reach up and wipe away a tear from the corner of his eye.

"So, Dad, you went to the tavern and called Uncle Four, told him about this, and then you both went to the county town together?" Yang Ruohua asked.

Yang Huazhong nodded. "Hmm!"

“How did He'er end up like this? How did she end up in jail?” Yang Ruqing asked.

Yang Huazhong shook his head. "I don't know, we wanted to ask County Magistrate Zou, but County Magistrate Zou happened to be out today."

"You can still ask her!" Yang Ruqing added.

Yang Huazhong glanced at the carriage, shook his head, and looked heartbroken: "I asked her, but she couldn't speak. Her tongue had been cut out..."

Because of Yang Ruohua's return, someone is urgently needed to take care of her personally.

This kind of thing, Yang Huaming, as a father, definitely wouldn't be convenient to do, and he wouldn't have the time.

Little Juan had to take care of Gou Dan, as well as Lao Yangtou and Tan Shi, because this month the two elders were staying with the fourth house.

Even if she didn't need to, Xiaojuan would never serve Yang Ruohua.

Ju'er was about to give birth, and she was still staying at Lao Chen's house. It was impossible for her to take care of Yang Ruohua.

Sanya was only about ten years old and could barely take care of herself.

After this elimination process, Liu was released from house arrest.

“My dear daughter, my precious child, my heart and soul, what devil dog dared to chew you up like this? Oh my God, there's no justice in the world..."

In the four-room house, Liu collapsed beside the bed, clutching Yang Ruohua's hand and crying her heart out.

Also in the room were women such as Mrs. Tan, Bao Suyun, Yang Huamei, Zhao Liuer, Yang Ruoqing, and Da Sun.

All the women stood by the bed, weeping along with her. Some consoled Madam Liu.

Yang Ruohua was burning with fever, lying listlessly in bed and drifting into a hazy sleep. Her brows were furrowed, her eyes tightly shut, and she seemed to be lost in a dream.

Feifei was lying in the bed, warily watching everyone. She didn't dare to cry out anymore, and she curled up with her tail tucked between her legs.

To be honest, although I used to dislike Yang Ruohua very much, even thinking of her as a fool, someone who didn't understand human relationships or reason. She even abandoned her own parents and daughter for a dog, just running away from home without a care,

But at this moment, seeing Yang Ruohua lying on the bed, her face slashed with scars by a knife and her tongue cut out, so thin she looked like a fishbone, even Yang Ruqing, as her cousin, felt a twinge of sympathy.

Although you might dislike your own cousin no matter how much, you can still hit or scold her.

But if one is slaughtered and tortured like fish, that's unacceptable!

Then, Yang Ruqing went outside and straight into the east room opposite her, which had its door open.

Inside the east room, not only were Lao Yang's men there, but also relatives and friends like Changgen, Dayu, Wang Hongquan, they all came, and everyone was talking about this matter.

Everyone's expressions were solemn and serious, especially Yang Huaming. He slumped in his chair, his eyes red and swollen from crying.

Lao Yang also sighed one after another, "Our old Yang family are all upright men, and we haven't done anything wicked. Why would we be subjected to such a baffling injustice? Oh!"

Yang Huaming rasped, "My poor daughter, my first child. Although she's a bit foolish and doesn't know how to behave,"

“After all, she's my daughter. My Yang Huaming's seed! To be treated this way, defaced... I'll just keep her as an old girl. But her tongue… it's been cut out…”

"Damn it! Who the hell would treat my daughter like this? She's human, not an animal! Ohhhh..."

Yang Huaming felt increasingly indignant and heartbroken the more he thought about it. He couldn't bear to imagine the fear and torment his daughter must have endured while having her tongue cut out.

Every time he thought about it, his head pounded and felt like it would explode. He pressed his hands against his temples and slammed his head against the wall beside him.

Yang Huazhong and Yang Yongzhi hurried over to grab Yang Haming. Yang Yongzhi was also crying so hard that his nose was running.

“Fourth Uncle, don’t do this! We will definitely find the murderer and avenge Sister He!” Yang Yongzhi gritted his teeth.

Yang Huaming was crying so hard his whole body was convulsing. He said, "Even if I cut that bastard a thousand times and ten thousand times, it wouldn't be enough to make up for my daughter's tongue! Without her tongue, she will be mute for the rest of her life. It's such a pity…"

"Things have come to this, Uncle Four, don't be too sad. Right now, there are two things we need to do, neither of which involves crying and banging your head against the wall."

A voice cut in, and with it came Yang Ruqing, her face dark. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Seeing her arrival, Yang Huaming was still choked with emotion. A gleam lit up in Lao Yangtou's eyes.

He looked at Yang Ruocheng with a hint of excitement in his eyes and asked, "Ruocheng, do you mean that you want to help your younger sister Ho'er get revenge?"

Yang Ruqing glanced at Lao Yangtou and said, “Yes, even though He’er may not be the best, she is still my cousin. She represents our old Yang family.”

“What a scoundrel! He treated her so cruelly, like an animal, cutting out her tongue. This is an insult to our entire Yang family and to me!”

"Grandpa, Fourth Uncle, you two should cheer up first. Crying won't solve anything. Right now, the bad guy is still out there living it up!" she added.

Everyone nodded silently, agreeing with Yang Ruqing.

Crying, indeed, won't solve problems. The important thing is to think of ways and solve them.

“Qing'er is right, Lao Si, you shouldn’t cry like this. You've been crying since you came in and there’s no end to it,” Old Yang said impatiently,

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“You rest first, let's hear what Qing’er has to say!”

Upon hearing Lao Yang's words, Yang Huaming quickly nodded and looked expectantly at Yang Ruqing.

A genius in one second: m.
