Chapter 318 Those who listened to the old man's inner thoughts went mad with killing (9)
It's difficult to determine who was right and who was wrong in a lawsuit that happened fifty years ago.
But Song Changqing did a lot of bad things when he was a landlord, and Erxiu'er was not the only one who died at his hands.
The reason he escaped unscathed, is still alive and well, is because he is rich.
Unfortunately, it's no use having money now.
He lay in his hospital bed, and his children were all worried sick.
They were all affected because of this father.
At the first court hearing, Song Changqing was hospitalized and could not attend; his eldest son appeared in his place.
To his surprise, the opposing lawyer actually found the former farmhand of Song Changqing's family, who is now over seventy years old.
Given the passage of time, the veracity of the testimonies is uncertain, and more evidence is needed.
Although there's no clue, dragging this out is a huge problem.
They had no other choice but to privately seek mediation from Su Dingding.
Su Dingding threw all the things they had brought out, and jumped up and down in the yard in a fit of rage. "I've been a coward my whole life, and now I'm practically half-buried in the ground. No matter what, I have to get justice for my mother. She was a perfectly healthy person, and she was beaten to death! Aaaaaah..."
“We’re all family. Even though your name is Zhao Laogeng, you’re still a member of the Song family. Why make things so tense? More than fifty years have passed. There’s no point in dwelling on these things. Why not accept our good intentions and enjoy your retirement?” Song Changqing’s eldest son advised.
"My own mother died with her eyes wide open in the afterlife, how can you expect me to enjoy this kind of bliss?" Su Dingding picked up a broom and started chasing people out.
When Song Changqing's eldest son first met the troublemaker, he stumbled and fell to the ground, where he was hit several times with a broom.
"Zhao Laogeng, don't be ungrateful, or you'll end up with nothing!" Song Changqing's eldest daughter shouted from the side.
The villagers gathered around when they heard the commotion, all carrying their tools.
"Someone's come to bully Zhao Laogeng! Everyone come out quickly!"
Su Dingding was having a good time when he saw the villagers arrive. He followed the force of Song Changqing's eldest daughter and lay down on the ground, groaning.
"I didn't bump into you, did I? Are you trying to extort money from me?"
Song Changqing's eldest daughter was a little scared and helped her brother up to get into the car.
"You think you can just leave after beating people? Get out of the car!" The villagers stopped the vehicle.
"He hit us!"
"Pah! Old Zhao has always been honest and upright. He's the one who gets bullied, he never bullies anyone. Even if he beats you up, you deserve it..."
Song Changqing's eldest daughter got into an argument with the villagers.
Su Dingding was helped out of the courtyard and waved his hand, "Let them go."
The villagers couldn't help but sigh that Zhao Laogeng was too kind; these people shouldn't have been let off the hook.
Take all your belongings and never come back again!
As soon as Su Dingding finished speaking, the villagers, like bandits, knocked on the car door, threw all the gifts inside, and told them to get lost.
That night, Su Dingding quietly entered Song Changqing's ward.
He has been in a coma for over a month.
However, as Su Dingding stood in front of him, Song Changqing slowly woke up.
He looked at Su Dingding in a daze, as if he were looking at himself.
Because in his memory, he was Zhao Laogeng.
"Song Changqing, how are you feeling?" Su Dingding suddenly asked.
"I..." It took Song Changqing a long time to realize that he was in a hospital room and that he had finally woken up!
He was inexplicably excited; this nightmare had nearly killed him, but thankfully it was over!
“Zhao Laogeng, you really are my nemesis…” Song Changqing said without any hesitation.
"A nemesis?" Su Dingding laughed. "That fortune teller died more than ten years ago, otherwise I would definitely have made him tell you in person that those words were nonsense."
Song Changqing glared at him, unimpressed.
He tried to sit up, but found that he couldn't move his body at all.
“The law may not be able to punish you, but I can!” Su Dingding slowly approached Song Changqing.
Song Changqing was terrified. "What do you want to do? Help! Someone help me!"
Su Dingding sneered, "Go ahead and shout, no one will hear you even if you shout until you're hoarse."
[Host, the ghosts you asked me to find have all arrived.] Gangzi returned just in time.
Several wandering ghosts followed Gangzi in, and they all had blank expressions when they saw Song Changqing.
Until Su Dingding transformed Song Changqing's face to resemble his younger self.
They, who had been quiet, suddenly became agitated, and they all extended their sharp claws and flew towards him.
"Song Changqing, give me back my life!"
"Master, I died a terrible death..."
Zhao Laogeng's biological mother, Erxiu'er, was also among them. Covered in blood, she was frantically searching for her son.
"Master, where is my poor child? Please give him back to me..."
"Get away, all of you get away!" Song Changqing rolled off the hospital bed, staring wide-eyed at the familiar yet unfamiliar faces.
When these people died, he threw them into the Bagua Well, and the fortune teller said they would never be reincarnated!
Now that the well has been filled in, how could these ghosts possibly be here?
Song Changqing trembled all over, staring at them, when he suddenly saw Gangzi.
"Who are you? I don't know you, why are you also looking for trouble with me?"
Gangzi was taken aback. "Of course you don't know me. I'm a soul-reaper, here to collect your spirit!"
Several wandering ghosts pounced on Song Changqing and began to gnaw at his body.
"No, help!"
Song Changqing stared wide-eyed and opened his mouth wide, feeling as if his flesh and blood were being torn off, chewed by several wandering ghosts. The scene was extremely bloody.
The excruciating pain and mental torment drove him to the brink of collapse.
“Gangzi, Song Changqing’s eldest son and eldest daughter were accomplices to evil back then, and they’re no good either. Investigate what bad things they’ve done over the years and deal with them as well,” Su Dingding said.
Gangzi quickly discovered that Song Changqing's eldest son was two years away from retirement and had arranged for his children to work in public institutions. Over the years, he had accepted bribes, engaged in corruption, and prioritized personal gain above all else.
His eldest daughter is even more impressive; she's a leader in the education department. People who need her help will get membership cards at her husband's club, but they won't actually spend any money there.
They took the money, but couldn't find any evidence against them.
Song Changqing's second daughter and second son were relatively ordinary and did not do anything outrageous.
As for the three younger children, they were all quite conservative under their mother's guidance.
Su Dingding thought for a moment and then came up with an idea.
After Song Changqing was tormented by several wandering ghosts all night, Su Dingding had Gangzi send them all away.
The next day, Song Changqing woke up, but he had Alzheimer's disease and only remembered his eldest son and eldest daughter.
If they are out of sight for even a minute, they will start making a scene, throwing things, cursing, and even going to their workplace to look for them.
No matter who else came, it was useless; Song Changqing kept his eyes fixed on the two of them.
There was no other way, so the two of them had to take time off work to accompany him to the doctor.
Song Changqing tormented them in all sorts of ways, causing them to soil or wet their pants. He demanded eighteen meals a day, each one different from the last, and also made them massage him, sing to him, and read the newspaper to him.
He starts making a scene whenever things don't go his way.
The eldest son was so exhausted that he had a heart attack, and he still accused the son of being unfilial and threw things at him.
"You old burden, are you ever going to stop?" The eldest son clutched his heart and grabbed Song Changqing by the neck!
