My Tolerance Is Pretty High

After Old Man Wang left, Wang Aniu led them next door and said, "This is the Li Family. My daughter was killed by them."

Li Ergou from next door looked at Wang Aniu and said, "You're talking nonsense! Our family has always been good to your daughter. Sometimes we even give her malt candy. How could we possibly kill her?"

Wang Aniu said angrily, "You just wait! I'll go to the authorities and sue you!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Alright, I will investigate this matter myself."

Wang Aniu didn't dare say anything more. Soon it was evening, and the constables went home.

Zhou Wanwan led Zheng Xing'an, Zheng Yuanbao, and the others to a quiet place for dinner.

Old Scholar Tree caught some wild game on the mountain. Zheng Xing'an cooked it and served it to Zhou Wanwan, saying:

"Uncle Scholar Tree went into the mountains and dug up a lot of fresh wild vegetables."

They also caught a large roe deer and two pheasants.

Zheng Xing'an made a pot of clear stewed pheasant and mushroom soup, a plate of braised roe deer meat, and two plates of wild vegetables.

Zhou Wanwan nodded as she sipped her chicken soup, saying, "The chickens from these mountains are just different; they're incredibly fresh."

After eating and drinking her fill, Zhou Wanwan started working.

First, we need to find out who killed Wang Aniu's daughter.

Zhou Wanwan went to Wang Aniu's courtyard and heard Old Man Wang cursing. "That beast, he's a complete scoundrel! I asked him to buy a jar of wine, and he actually gave the 20 coins to a child."

Old Madam Wang looked at Wang Aniu with a look of disgust and said:

"Useless thing, you might as well die. What's the point of keeping you around?"

And your wife, she's a barren hen, you should divorce her as soon as possible."

Zhou Wanwan sat on the wall in the courtyard and heard the apricot tree inside the house say:

"Wang Aniu and his wife are quite pitiful. They work like oxen every day, toiling away like crazy."

Unfortunately, no one in this family takes them seriously.

"They don't treat them like human beings at all. What's the difference between them and livestock? The moment they open their eyes, they're working."

Looking at the apricot trees, Zhou Wanwan asked, "Can you tell me about the child in this family? You mean the little girl?"

The apricot trees dared not move. One old apricot tree whispered, "Young lady, are you talking to us?"

Zhou Wanwan lowered her voice and said, "What do you think? If I don't talk to you, who am I supposed to talk to?"

The old apricot tree looked at her and said:

"My God! In my lifetime, I actually saw someone talking to our tree, it's truly amazing."

Are you asking about Wang Erniu's youngest daughter?

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "I heard that the little girl was also killed by the neighbor surnamed Li. Is that true?"

The old apricot tree sighed and said:

That little girl is exquisitely beautiful; she is indeed lovely.

The young couple next door also liked the child quite a bit, so how could they possibly kill her?

Zhou Wanwan frowned and asked, "Then who killed this child?"

All the apricot trees fell silent. Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "Are you unaware or unwilling to tell me?"

The old apricot tree then spoke, "We were just afraid you wouldn't believe us if we told you."

Zhou Wanwan looked at it and said, "Then you two can talk about it! I'm quite tolerant, don't worry."

Just kidding, what hasn't she been through?

Even trees can walk, so what can't she accept?

The old apricot tree sighed and said, "Wang Daya was... was killed by her grandfather and her second uncle."

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "What do you mean by that? Could it be that the two of them... did something with Wang Daya?"

The old apricot tree recounted the scene it had witnessed that day in detail:

That night, as we were talking, we saw Wang Daya sitting in the yard, eating malt candy that the neighbor had given her.

As it turned out, her grandfather was drunk, saw her, and took her into the house.

Later, his second uncle heard the noise and went inside as well.

Zhou Wanwan shouted, "Beast! Animal! Bah! Worse than a beast! Worse than an animal!"

I never expected the truth to be like this.

The old apricot tree continued, "Those clothes were also thrown into the field by the two of them, just to frame the neighbor next door."

A nearby apricot tree sighed and said, "Even if the truth is found out, so what? Besides, they've already destroyed the evidence."

Ancient times were not as advanced as modern times; there was no surveillance or DNA testing.

In ancient times, cases like this were considered dead cases, with no way to verify the facts, allowing those responsible to escape justice.

The apricot trees fell silent. Zhou Wanwan snorted coldly and said:

"It's ridiculous that people who do bad things don't have to pay any price. Since we can't go to court, let's settle this ourselves."

"I'll do things that leave no room for proof even if the dead are dead."

Zhou Wanwan knocked on Wang Aniu's door. Wang Aniu was surprised to see her. "M-Master, what brings you here?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at Wang Aniu's house and said, "This environment is terrible, Wang Aniu. Don't you think you're quite different from your brothers?"

The Wang Family has a total of six children: five sons and one daughter.

In this family, Wang Aniu and his wife were treated like servants.

This is similar to the case of Liu Su'e and Zhou Fusheng in the past.

Wang Aniu looked at her and said:

"Actually, I know that I am not my family's biological child; I am the son of my father's younger brother."

Later, my biological parents died, and they adopted me.

I was three years old when my parents died, so I do have memories of it.

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "That's good. Now, listen carefully to what I'm about to say. Your father and your second brother harmed your own daughter. They..."

Zhou Wanwan told Wang Aniu everything, and Wang Aniu's eyes widened in disbelief.

Wang Aniu's wife sobbed uncontrollably, "It's all my fault! If I had kept an eye on Daya, this wouldn't have happened! My daughter!"

Wang Aniu was trembling all over. He suddenly rushed into the kitchen, grabbed a cleaver, and kicked open the front door.

Old Man Wang stared intently at him and said, "Wang Aniu, what are you doing with that kitchen knife?"

Wang Aniu looked at Old Man Wang and said, "Father, I'll ask you just one question today: Did you kill my daughter?"

Old Man Wang's expression changed drastically. "You... who told you this nonsense? How could I have killed Daya?"

Wang Aniu's eyes turned red with anger:

"You not only killed her, you also did that kind of thing to her."

"You old beast! I'm going to kill you to avenge my daughter!"

Wang Aniu was furious and grabbed a kitchen knife, slamming it heavily into Old Man Wang's shoulder.

Old Man Wang:

"Wang Aniu, are you insane? You actually dare to kill me! Do you know what kind of behavior that is?"

This is patricide, an act of utter treason, and you'll be condemned by everyone for the rest of your life.
