In addition, every person involved in the fight had to pay Xiao Zhengyang and Chen Qiuying 200 RMB for medical expenses, injury expenses, and so on.
Chen Sanhua and Lan Hongxing instigated the brawl. They were detained on account of intentional injury. They would be prosecuted and sentenced in court!
Chen Dahua and Lan Erying, as the main culprit, were detained for crimes of intentional injury, slander, libel, and attempted murder. They would be prosecuted and sentenced in court!
The two villages were in an uproar. They were anxious, worried, angry, embarrassed, and ashamed. Most of their people were locked up. In the eyes of the public, they were criminals. This would affect their future generations. However, the most imminent impact was marriages. Good families wouldn't mix with criminals.
