But how could they repay him in full?

Liu Sanniang’s predictions came true one after another. She had predicted that they would live to be a hundred years old. Madam w.a.n.g felt like she was going crazy if she had to live in pain every day for so long.

w.a.n.g Xu’s head was bleeding from kowtowing, and Master w.a.n.g wasn’t much better.

His limbs felt like they were screwed by countless nails. It hurt so much.

Li Guanfeng looked at the family and instructed someone to get a doctor.

Wei Shilai frowned. Li Guanfeng glanced at Wei Shilai and said, “Magistrate Wei, do you think they deserve it?”

Wei Shilai did not say anything. They were pathetic and looked like they were tortured in h.e.l.l, but did they really deserve pity?

Wei Shilai believed that Liu Sanniang would not harm anyone, so this must be the punishment they were supposed to receive.

Seeing how much pain they were in, Wei Shilai couldn’t help but think about the man they saw that day. He said that his name was w.a.n.g Peng. He was the one who wanted to take revenge on the w.a.n.g family. Then, what kind of pain and torture had he suffered?

Wei Shilai could not imagine it.

Li Guanfeng said calmly, “I want to get to know Miss Liu.”

Wei Shilai looked at Li Guanfeng and said, “Miss Liu is a very good person. I believe Magistrate Li will realize that sooner or later.”

Li Guanfeng smiled. “I hope so.”

The doctor quickly came and checked on the w.a.n.g family, but nothing was wrong with any of them.

They were in good health. Other than some minor injuries, they were totally fine.

However, Master w.a.n.g shouted that his limbs could not move. w.a.n.g Xu shouted that his brain was about to explode while Madam w.a.n.g said that her stomach was in unbearable pain. They did not look like they were lying.

The doctor was also very puzzled.

He had no choice but to report to Li Guanfeng truthfully. “Sir, other than some minor injuries, they are fine and in good health.”

Li Guanfeng waved his hand and gestured for the doctor to leave. He and Wei Shilai had been watching the entire time. The doctor was a person with superb medical skills, so it was impossible for him to misdiagnose. However, the w.a.n.g family was not lying either.

The w.a.n.g family suffered for a few hours before they calmed down.

Li Guanfeng would not let them reside in the county office.

After asking the w.a.n.g family to leave, Wei Shilai arranged for a few constables to take turns to guard the government office during the new year. Then, he bid Li Guanfeng farewell and went back.

w.a.n.g Xu’s face was twisted with anger as he said, “Father, Mother, let’s go find Liu Sanniang and reason with her. We can’t let this matter rest like this.”

Master w.a.n.g was hopeless. His limbs were in so much pain that they seemed to have stiffened.

The family soon arrived at Willow Alley. They knocked on the door, and it was Chu Yan who came to open it. Looking at him, they couldn’t bring themselves to ask the question they planned to ask.

Chu Yan’s expression was cold as he said, “You brought this upon yourself.”

w.a.n.g Xu’s lips and legs were trembling.

After saying what he had to say, Chu Yan closed the door.

Master w.a.n.g took a deep breath and said, “Let’s go.”

Being angry was useless.

The mansion that was once luxurious and exquisite was now in ruins. There was no place for them to live.

The people they used to call friends all closed their doors on them.

The w.a.n.g family had ceased to exist.

However, they still had to spend the rest of their lives repaying the sins they had committed.

At first, people felt sorry about the destruction that befell the w.a.n.g family, but after a rumor spread, no one felt any pity for them.

The rumor had it that the reason why the w.a.n.g family was destroyed was because they had done something vicious and used their son’s life to generate fortune. All the wealth of the w.a.n.g family was built upon the pain of a soul for eternity. The torture they were experiencing now was what that soul had experienced. It was only fair and righteous for the w.a.n.g family to end up homeless and penniless.

What kind of a human would kill their own son in exchange for money? Were they even humans? They were simply beasts! Were beasts worthy of sympathy? No!

No one knew how the rumor started, but everyone believed in it.

Later on, the story of the w.a.n.g family became fable for people to teach their children not to lose one’s conscience or do something immoral. Otherwise, what awaited them would be severe punishment.

During the new year, Madam Wei and Liu Sanniang cooked a total of twenty dishes with Tang An. They filled the table with everything from cold dishes to stir-fried dishes.

Chu Yan also spent the new year with the Liu family.

The first dish was dumplings. Each person was served with six dumplings.

Madam Wei smiled and said, “There’s a copper coin in two dumplings. Let’s see who’s lucky enough to find them.”

Mr. Liu immediately picked up his chopsticks. “Hahaha, I’ll start first.”

Liu Erlang immediately picked up his chopsticks too.

Liu Dalang looked at Tang An and Tang Yuan and said, “Let’s eat.”

Tang An blushed and nodded.

Tang Yuan smiled, his eyes narrowed into a slit. He liked this cozy atmosphere. He and his sister were already the luckiest people in the world to be able to become a family with the Liu family.

The way Madam Wei and Mr. Liu interacted made Tang Yuan fantasize about the future. If only he could get married to a girl like Madam Wei, he would be happy for the rest of his life.

Tang Yuan smiled as he ate the dumplings. Then, suddenly, he bit something hard.

Tang Yuan’s eyes lit up. He spat out the copper coin in his mouth and said happily, “Sister, I got it.”

Soon, Mr. Liu exclaimed in joy. “I found it too.”

Madam Wei smiled. “You two are really lucky.”

Chu Yan also took out a copper coin. “I have one too.”

Liu Dalang and Liu Sanniang spat out a copper coin and smiled. “We found it too.”

Madam Wei pretended to be surprised. “Surprise, right? I put a total of eight copper coins. There should be eight.”

There were exactly eight of them having dinner together.

Liu Erlang was a little anxious. He quickly ate the remaining two dumplings in his bowl. He was a little dumbfounded. “Where is mine? Why can’t I find it?”

Madam Wei was stunned. “Liu Erlang, are you an idiot? Did I give birth to a pig? I put one in your dumplings too. Why can’t you find it?”

Liu Erlang scratched his head and said in embarra.s.sment, “I… I think I swallowed it…”
