But they were still full of resentment towards the village chief.
If it weren't for this old guy's greed for money, how could so many outsiders come?
This group of villagers and Zhang Dabiao came to the door of the village chief’s house
The village chief was already upset and looking for the cause of the old man's death, but he became even more upset when he saw so many people coming all at once.
"What did you come to do?"
"We are here to get an explanation from you!"
Zhang Dabiao was the first to stand up.
As a result, when the other villagers heard the tone of Zhang Dabiao's conversation with the village chief, their hearts became even more angry.
"Village Chief, you can't break the rules of our village for so many years just because you accepted other people's money!" One of the villagers boldly rushed to the village chief and said.
"Don't talk nonsense here!"
"Don't deny it, village chief, then let me ask you, outsiders are never allowed in the village. If he didn't give you money, why did you let him in?"
The village chief was speechless for a moment.
But he couldn't admit that he took Zhang Dabiao's money.
"If you make trouble here again, I will kick you out of the village right now!"
The village chief slammed the table, but because he had no confidence, he almost fell down.
When the leading villagers saw that the village chief was really angry, they suddenly fell silent.
"Han Ming, I have been the village chief for so many years, don't I still know what you mean?"
It’s just that you can’t rely on a stranger for everything. I live in my mute father’s house, but nothing has ever happened to me.”
There is some truth in what the village chief said.
Han Ming and several other villagers knew it in their hearts, but they still felt that Old Man Li's death was too unfair.
They must find this murderer.
"Village Chief, no matter what, you have to find a way to find out the truth, otherwise, wouldn't Old Man Li die in peace?
The village chief sighed, what was indeed going on.
"Okay, I promise everyone."
"I will definitely handle this matter properly. You go back first and take care of Old Man Li's funeral affairs."
At this time, Han Ming and the villagers had nothing to say. They couldn't keep competing with the village chief here.
But as soon as they left the village chief's house, they bumped into the mute father who came in a hurry.
"Don't you, old guy, have eyes?"
Han Ming's voice startled the mute father. He quickly apologized to Han Ming in a low voice, and then walked into the village chief's house.
"Why are you here? Mute dad."
Zhang Dabiao was a little surprised when he saw the mute father coming.
"I heard that those guys from Han Ming came to see you, so I came here to have a look. Don't worry, Han Ming is not a bad person, but he is a little reckless in what he does."
Hearing the mute father's concerned tone, Zhang Dabiao quickly explained what had just happened.
When the village chief saw the mute father coming, his face suddenly darkened.
"Let me ask you, was this little brother with you all the time last night?"
"Village chief, what are you asking? Since you have entrusted me with taking care of your little brother, I must be with him all the time."
"you sure?"
"What's so uncertain about this? It's inappropriate for you, village chief, to doubt others casually."
The village chief felt relieved when he saw what the mute father meant.
This mute father has always been a teacher, so he would definitely not dare to lie to him.
"How about this, village chief, I'll go investigate and find out who killed Old Man Li, so that I can clear my name."
Hearing what Zhang Dabiao said, the village chief suddenly became excited.
"No, it can't be."
"What's wrong with this?"
Zhang Dabiao was a little curious.
Seeing the confused look on Zhang Dabiao's face, the village chief could only shake his head helplessly.
"I know you didn't do this, but the villagers don't believe it. If you go to investigate this matter, you will definitely be targeted by the villagers. You have been staying in the village recently and don't go anywhere. Don't worry about those people.
The villagers did whatever they said."
Seeing the village chief's leaving figure, Zhang Dabiao felt a little baffled.
What the hell is going on with this guy?
Originally, Zhang Dabiao wanted to ask more questions, but the mute father dragged Zhang Dabiao away.
"Let's not ask so many questions anymore. Didn't the village chief tell you to leave it alone? It means he has a sense of discretion in his heart."
But these villagers are unhappy when they see me now, and they always scold me secretly behind my back. I can't just let them misunderstand me."
"Don't take this matter to your heart. You are not a permanent resident here. So what if they say a few words to you?"
Originally, Zhang Dabiao always felt that he lived a transparent life.
But after hearing these two sentences from the mute father, I realized that I was still too stupid.
Anyway, he won't live here anymore, and he doesn't care about anything.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Zhang Dabiao acted very indifferent on the surface, as if he didn't want to compete with them, but in fact, Zhang Dabiao had decided to investigate this matter in his heart.
This had nothing to do with anything else. He just wanted to know what killed Old Man Li.
Returning to the mute father's yard, Zhang Dabiao began to work with him to trim the flowers and plants in the yard.
Old Man Li's daughter-in-law was crying and shouting every day next door, criticizing Sang and Huai, but Zhang Dabiao and the mute father could only act as if they didn't hear anything.
Zhang Dabiao forgot about time when he was working. It took a lot of effort and energy to trim the flowers and plants in the yard.
It was evening in a blink of an eye. Looking at Zhang Dabiao who had been busy, the mute father suddenly said: "Little brother, don't take this matter to your heart. The villagers in our village are not bad people."
"Of course I know. Anyway, they are just afraid of bringing bad luck to themselves. This is something that ordinary people can understand." Zhang Dabiao smiled and didn't think anything was wrong.
"I knew your little brother was kind-hearted."
"It seems that you are the only one in the village who thinks I am kind-hearted..." Zhang Dabiao joked awkwardly.
The mute father shook his head.
"It's just because I've been with you for a long time, but they don't understand you."
"Forget it, just like you said, I won't live here, so what does it matter what they think of me?"
Originally, the mute father wanted to talk to Zhang Dabiao about other things, but he held back the words.
