Not only that, he also said coldly: "If the senior official really investigates this matter and really wants to make a fuss about it, the people involved will not be able to escape responsibility."
The old man stopped there, but Xia Lizheng was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
He said goodbye to the old man and hurried back.
Seeing that his face looked bad, the other members of the Xia family became worried. They dropped their sickles and quickly chased after him.
Back in his yard, Xia Lizheng could no longer suppress his temper. He pointed at Xia Xiaodie, who was drying vegetables, and shouted, "Erya, get out of here."
The people who came back right after him were stunned.
What happened:
Why did the old man suddenly get so angry
Xia Xiaodie shrank her neck in fear and didn't move.
Her mother Liu Yuehong quietly pushed her and said, "Your grandfather is calling you, why don't you hurry in?"
Xia Xiaodie looked at her mother for help and followed her into the upper room nervously.
As soon as she entered, a tea bowl was thrown in her face.
If her mother hadn't helped her, she would have been disfigured.
Others wanted to ask a few questions, but when they saw this, they didn't dare to open their mouths.
Even the old lady just looked at the broken brown porcelain bowl with regret.
Old Master Xia slammed the table and shouted, "Tell me, what did you do on the day when the accident happened at the mine?"
Xia Xiaodie was panicking: "I... I didn't do anything."
"You still dare to lie?"
"I think you learned bad things from your mother. You know how to play tricks at such a young age."
The old man was so angry that he held his chest and gasped, and even scolded his eldest daughter-in-law, which showed that he was really angry this time.
After hearing this, Liu Yuehong's eyes turned red and she looked at her husband with grievance.
Xia Qiang quickly spoke to comfort him: "Dad, if you have something to say, please talk to him nicely. Don't scare the child."
The old lady also hurried to help the old man pour tea: "Yes, old man, why are you so angry
Look how angry you are. What if you get sick from being angry? "
Old Master Xia pushed the tea bowl away and took a deep breath: "Why am I so angry?"
"Do you know that the reason why Su's daughter went to the mine that day was all because of you, her good granddaughter."
"If the senior officials investigate this, our whole family will go to jail. We might even be executed and have our heads cut off."
Why had he been willing to risk being criticized by the villagers and not go to the Su family these days
It is because this matter involves too many consequences and he does not want to bring disaster to his family.
But he didn't expect that while he was risking his reputation and trying to avoid suspicion, his granddaughter had already intervened in this matter.
How could he not be angry
"Is it really... really that serious?"
When they heard that the entire family would be executed, everyone in the Xia family panicked.
"serious?"
How can it be described as more than just serious
Old Master Xia was so angry that his face turned blue.
"Have you not seen who are the people gathered around Coal Hill these days? Have you not seen what clothes they are wearing?"
“Also, after the accident at the coal mine, the county magistrate and county magistrate all knelt at the foot of Guyin Temple on Beishan Mountain.
He knelt until he fainted, and the superior did not come out to say a word, while the head of the yamen, the whole family, had their heads chopped off. "
"Can ordinary people like us afford to offend such a big shot?"
The more Old Master Xia spoke, the more frightened he became. He gritted his teeth and pointed at his granddaughter, Xia Xiaodie:
"You... look at your good daughter. She is pushing our whole family into that fire pit!"
