Chapter 23

When the villagers saw the police car, they followed the police car out of curiosity and came to Wen family’s residence.

The two police officers were from the local police station and arrived at the Wen family’s courtyard within ten minutes after receiving the call. Upon witnessing the commotion, they hurried over and yelled, “Stop! Stop the fight!”

“What’s going on with the Wen Family?”

“Heh, it’s clear that Wen Xun is causing trouble. He and his family are like a swarm of locusts, leaving nothing behind wherever they go.”

“The two brothers understood it when they split up. They couldn’t wait to devour Wen Xing’s flesh and blood. How wicked.”

Other than drawing blood from Second Brother Li in the first round, Wen Nian’s remaining moves could inflict so much pain on him that no visible wounds would be left on his body.

This time, Zhou Mei was a fierce opponent. When provoked, her combat strength was off the charts. She whipped Li Ke’s back and thighs with a feather duster, inflicting pain that no one could ignore. Though Li Ke couldn’t take off her clothes and pants to show the bruises, it was clear that she was hurting.

However, as Li Ke had pulled Zhou Mei’s hair and scratched her neck, there were two bloody wounds on Zhou Mei. Although they were not deep, Zhou Mei still appeared to be in a sorry state on the surface.

Only Wen Xing was a little miserable. The corners of his mouth were bleeding, and the corners of his eyes were bruised. Big Brother Li’s mouth was just a little bruised.

The old policeman entered the courtyard and glanced at everyone. “What’s going on? Why are you fighting?”

Taking advantage of her young age, Wen Nian widened her eyes and tried to hold back her tears. When she saw the police officers enter, she hurriedly stepped forward and spoke indignantly, “Officers, can you please detain them for trespassing and assaulting us in our own home?”

“What a sin! Look at how he bullied Old Master Wen’s daughter. I heard that Wen Yu wants to sell the ancestral home for money.”

“They went too far by coming here to fight. If it weren’t for Old Master Wen’s kindness back then, Wen Xun might have starved to death on the roadside that year.”

Some villagers who were aware of the situation and envious of Wen Xing’s family moving to the city started to mock. “Don’t be fooled by appearances. Wen Xing must have made a fortune in the city. If he really cared for Wen Yu, would Wen Yu cause so much trouble and try to sell his house?”

“That’s right. It takes two to tango.”

There were all kinds of things being said, and Wen Nian’s anger was useless as she couldn’t control what others said. She could only give the police officer a pitiful look, as if she was pleading for justice.

When the old police officer heard the discussion, he had a rough idea that this was a family dispute. “Young lady, you can’t be detained for trespassing on private property when it involves family members,” he said.

Wen Nian immediately replied, “My family and my second uncle have long separated. This is a house under my father’s name. Everyone in the village can prove it.”

Since it involved his own interests, Wen Xun couldn’t stay silent any longer. He walked forward and cursed, “You wretched girl! Your father and I are brothers. How can it be considered trespassing on private property when I come to visit my relatives?”

Zhou Mei stepped forward and stood in front of Wen Nian, glaring at Wen Xun.

Wen Nian stood timidly at the side after being scolded. Her voice was even more sobbing as she said, “Second Uncle and Second Aunt brought their family to our house and started a fight with us. Is this considered a visit?”

Wen Nian looked at the villagers who had crowded into the Wen family’s courtyard and questioned, “Have any of you ever seen uncles and aunts in the village visiting like this?”

A neighbor who was close to Zhou Mei said in support, “Whoever dares to visit my house like this, I’ll beat him to death!”

Li Ke also came back to her senses and complained angrily, “You guys attacked first this time!”

Wen Nian wiped away her tears and didn’t answer the question directly. “Second Uncle, Second Aunt, now that everyone in the village is here and even the police are here, let’s tell them the truth. This house belongs to our family. Why should you sell it? Why should we split the money?”

The Wen couple realized that they were wrong and didn’t intend to escalate the situation at first. They only used the excuse of having something important to discuss to lure their brother and sister-in-law back to the village. Li Ke invited the brothers from her maternal family to boost their morale, but the Li brothers would definitely resort to using their fists to threaten the Wens if Wen Xing disagreed.

At the thought of this, Li Ke glared at Wen Nian. If Wen Nian hadn’t come over, she was confident that she would succeed today.

Faced with Wen Nian’s question, Wen Xun couldn’t answer truthfully. “Wen Nian, you can’t say that. Second Uncle’s family isn’t well-off. Your father is the eldest brother, so shouldn’t he help his brother? Moreover, you and your brother are about to graduate and go to university. These are all huge expenses. Second Uncle happens to know someone who wants to buy a house in the countryside to retire. This house won’t have its current price in two years! You have to pay a fee to find an intermediary to sell the house. What’s wrong with giving your brother some money?”
