Chapter 154 Life is not a TV series

Yes, it would be great if things ended here.

This should be a happy ending where the bad guys get punished, the good guys get proud, and the bystanders feel relieved.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs. Life is not a TV series, and there is no screenwriter to write the best ending.

"You all know what happened afterwards. First it was Feilong, then Feihu. His mother couldn't stand the shock and died too. Finally Fang Ping was gone too."

"A good family is gone, gone..."

Having said this, the village chief could no longer hold back and was choked with sobs, unable to speak.

Their family was also upset, even though they already knew what happened to Chen Fangping's family. But today, they still felt upset after learning about their previous experiences from the village chief.

The honest people who had suffered for most of their lives thought that God had finally opened his eyes and they could live a good life. But after a few days of good life, they found that God had played a huge joke on them. He let them see hope, but then took it back bit by bit.

It was cruel, but it was what Chen Fangping and his family actually experienced.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin didn’t know how to comment on this matter. They just felt the same as after watching "To Live" (Yu Hua's representative work), heavy and helpless.

The village chief's wife stroked the village chief's back to calm him down. After a long while, the village chief recovered from his sadness.

"In fact, when Feihu went there, something was already very wrong. Although the boy is a man of loyalty, he would never risk his life for a woman."

"Flying Tiger was indeed in a very low mood during that period. We tried to persuade him a lot. Just when he was gradually cheering up, he suddenly swallowed arsenic. How could this be possible?"

"Poor mother, she died after losing two sons in a row. Last year, Fang Ping's hair turned completely white overnight, and his back was more hunched than that of a man in his seventies or eighties. I was really afraid that he would die as well."

"But Fang Ping managed to survive. He came to my house right after the funeral for his mother and daughter."

"He said that Feihu and Feilong were killed by his mother and eldest brother's family. Although I also felt that it was not right, I really didn't want to believe that people could be so bad."

"I thought Fang Ping had some evidence, but he didn't. He just had this guess in his mind. He wanted to report to the police, but I also knew some of Daye's laws and persuaded him not to. If I had known this would happen, I should have accompanied him. It's all my fault!"

The village chief became excited again.

"But without evidence, all speculation is in vain. According to the laws of the Daye Dynasty, if you want to sue your parents, you must first be beaten with ten sticks. If you cannot produce any real evidence after being beaten, it is considered a false accusation of your parents and you will be exiled three thousand miles away."

"This case sounds so shocking. Even if it's brought to court, I'm afraid the county magistrate won't believe it. I'm afraid Fang Ping will really be exiled, and then his life will really be over."

"But now it's like this, it would have been better to let him file a complaint. Even if he was sentenced to exile, at least he's still alive."

Thinking of Chen Fangping who was already buried in the ground, the village chief clutched his collar. He felt so regretful that he could hardly breathe, and his face gradually became ugly.

The two of them hurried forward to control his breathing. He was over fifty years old, and if he was too excited and had a stroke, then they would be guilty of a serious crime.

Under the guidance of the two people's "huff~huff~huff~huff~", the old man gradually calmed down.

"Uncle, don't get excited. This is not your fault. It's the fault of those evil people. If you hadn't persuaded him at that time, Chen Fangping would have been exiled without any evidence. Such a long journey might have resulted in his death in a foreign land. You were thinking about him, and no one could have imagined what would happen later." Zheng Yuan comforted him.

Not to mention this era where filial piety is paramount, even in the modern times they live in, it is difficult for children to rebel against their parents. Aunts and uncles will say that there are no bad parents in the world and they raised you, and the world will say that this is a family matter and there is no need to make a big fuss.

From ancient times to the present, the harm caused by the original family has been a problem that children find difficult to heal in their lifetime.

"Yes, old man, who can know? Don't blame yourself." Seeing the village chief like this, the village chief's wife, who had been with him for many years, couldn't bear it.

"Alas, it's partly my fault after all." The village chief looked sad.

"At that time, I also asked Fang Ping why he had these speculations. He said that when Feilong came back to entertain guests, he did not invite Chen Fangyuan to his house that night. But when he was seeing the guests off, he seemed to see a figure quickly flashing into the backyard. The figure looked very much like Feihong. But when he chased after it, he saw nothing, so he just thought he was drunk."

"But who would have thought that Feilong would get into trouble the next day. Fang Ping's wife had to move the sink from the old house because she couldn't bear to part with it, but it cost her son his life. How could she bear this blow?"

"Before Feilong was buried, Fang Ping went to find his eldest brother's family to ask for clarification. But his eldest brother's family would not let him in, saying that he was crazy. His own son made some money and came back to show off and drowned himself, and he actually suspected his own nephew. Tian Xizhen even threw a bucket of manure in his face."

"When Fang Ping came back, he was stinking and looked like he had lost his soul. If his son hadn't been standing in front of the coffin, he would have collapsed."

"Flying Tiger was doing business in the north at that time. It was half a month later when we sent a message to look for him. Even if the family had doubts, they couldn't find anything."

"His eldest brother passed away just like that, and his old father suffered such humiliation. How could he swallow this? But the kid had been running around outside for a few years, and he had become a bit of a rogue. He didn't even think about reporting to the police, but instead went to the house with a few of his brothers and started to smash things up. The Chen Fangyuan family was beaten black and blue by him, but they refused to admit that they did it."

"Fang Ping and Fei Long may not have any evidence, or they may not want everyone to know about these dirty things. The villagers only know that these things happened, but they don't know why. It's even more impossible for Chen Fangyuan's family to tell anyone."

"When we went out again, Feihu started to arrange to take my parents out. Fang Ping and his wife wanted to go out and relax, so they followed him out."

"But not long after, the two came back and told us that they were not used to living outside."

"After they came back, Fang Ping and his wife arranged to find a girl for Feihu. As their family conditions improved, many families wanted to marry into their family. Feihu came back and looked for a few girls, and finally fell in love with a girl from Hou Banpo."

"It was originally agreed that Feihu would come back to propose marriage at the end of the year. During that time, Fang Ping and his wife finally showed some life on their faces, and their backs straightened up a lot."

"But when everything was going in the right direction, the girl's family suddenly came to cancel the engagement, saying that the girl didn't want to get married. Feihu didn't want to believe it and ran over there all day, but the girl just didn't want to come out to see him. The girl's parents just sighed and said nothing."

"There was nothing I could do. After a few days, Feihu had no choice but to give up. He went home and drank for several days. But he gradually cheered up. Who would have thought that not long after, he actually said that he had swallowed arsenic."

"When Fang Ping came to report the death, no one could believe that Feihu would eat arsenic on his own. But there was no one else at home that day, and Feihu was alone in the room. Gradually, people in the village began to say that he was trapped in love and couldn't get over it."

"How could Fang Ping's wife bear it? She watched it wither day by day like a flower in late summer, and she passed away a few days later."
