Chapter 024: Rotten to the Roots

When Mrs. Lin heard this, a sly look flashed across her face, and she immediately sat down on the ground.

"Village chief! You have to make the decision for me!"

Her wailing voice was heard even in the village.

The village chief frowned and hurriedly helped the person up, "If you have something to say, say it properly and don't yell."

Aunt Lin pointed at Chu Yan, "She! She pushed me into the paddy field. Look at these old bones. My knees hurt so much now. She must have suffered some internal injury."

"I have an old man and a young man at home, and we have to work in the fields. I...I can't live this life!"

As she spoke, she forced tears out of Qian Hao's eyes and wiped them with a handkerchief.

I was afraid of wiping away the tears that I had finally squeezed out, so I only wiped them to my temples.

Chu Yan watched her performance calmly, frowning slightly.

"What's going on? Yanyan, tell me!"

The village chief said angrily.

Chu Yan said respectfully, "I didn't push her. She was about to rush up and hit me. I gave way and she rushed to the field by herself."

After finishing speaking, she continued.

"If you don't believe the village chief, you can ask the other aunts present."

As soon as she said this, several people watching the excitement immediately lowered their heads.

Aunt Lin suddenly came out, "If you don't rant here, how can I beat you? I have a bunch of bones, how can I beat you! It's okay if you don't hit me!"

The village chief also said hurriedly.

"What's going on? Who went out with them today? Where are the people present!"

Aunt Lin is on par with Mrs. Chen, both of them are ruthless and unreasonable. She can do sneaky things, so she is naturally shameless.

No one in the village wants to mess with such a scoundrel.

So, for a long time no one dared to come forward.

Mrs. Lin had a proud smile on her face.

"Did you see it! She was lying. I didn't hit her at all. She was young and could just seduce a man. But she still attacked me. She was like a snake and a scorpion. I think she might as well run out of the village!

"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chang Zhe was already standing in front of Chu Yan.

The aunt also stood in front of her.

The aunt said, "We are all from the same village. I have lived here for so many years and I have never bothered you. After Zhe'er came back, we didn't bother you either. Over the years, I have tried to reduce my presence as much as possible.

Come on, why do you bully people like this!"

She spoke until tears came out.

Over the years, she has suffered a lot of grievances, but she can bear it, but the child Yanyan is still young, how could she let her be framed like this!

The village chief also looked embarrassed, "Dachang family, don't worry. If Yan Yan really didn't do anything, I will definitely deal with it impartially."

"Hmph! Stop pretending to be pitiful here! You also know that you have lived here for so many years. This land originally belonged to the village. It was originally allocated to you because of your pity. But you have done so for our village.

What have you done?”

"How dare you say these words!"

Aunt Lin jumped out immediately.

At this time, Mrs. Chen also murmured, "That is, if you are truly grateful, Chang Zhe will hunt big wild boars from time to time without even giving us a share, and he will not be afraid of diarrhea even if he eats so much."

She is so hungry!

There was resentment when he spoke.

Chu Yan glanced at him, and Chen's face panicked. She immediately lowered her eyes and did not dare to speak anymore.

When Mrs. Lin saw someone echoing her words, she hurriedly said, "That's right, logically speaking, we should have a share in the pork. This mountain is ours, and the prey in the forest should also be ours. If there is no mountain, how can he kill it?"

prey!"

After she explained this fallacy, many people present were moved.

But those people still have consciences, and no one dared to agree with them for a while.

"Just stop saying a few words! If there is no one to protect you, even if the prey walks in front of you, do you dare to catch it?"

The village chief said angrily.

Fu looked at Chu Yan again, "Look...she insisted that you did this, and no one can testify for you. Otherwise, you will have to pay some money."

He was talking in a consultative tone, and he also knew that Aunt Lin was the one who was wrong about this matter, so he felt very guilty.

As soon as she talked about compensation, Mrs. Lin became very excited.

Her eyes were full of calculations, and she muttered, "I don't want much else. I just want five kilograms of your meat and five taels of silver. How about that?"

After she finished speaking, everyone in the village, not to mention Chu Yan, took a breath and looked at her in disbelief.

If this was the case, they would rather Chu Yan beat them a few more times.

Not to mention money, even if you can give her a pound of meat and give her a slap, it's okay.

"What? Is there any problem? There is no charge for medical treatment for my foot! The bones are broken, so why don't I have to mend it? I can't go to the ground for several days, so I don't have to pay compensation? I still say it's missing because I feel sorry for you."

Mrs. Lin's words made people angry and hit her forehead.

Chang Zhe's face darkened, and his eyes seemed to be cannibalistic.

Chu Yan was still calm.

"Aunts here, is it true that no one wants to testify for me?"

"You can clearly see whether I pushed her or not."

Aunt Lin's face immediately became panicked.

She hurriedly pulled the person aside and said something in her ear, and the other person's eyes lit up.

The two of them looked at each other for confirmation, and she hurriedly said, "I will bear witness!"

"Chu Yan really pushed her."

Chu Yan sneered.

It seems there is no need for them to stay here.

If this village were like this, it would be rotten to the core.

"Okay, let's go report it to the officials. There are plenty of ways to get everyone to tell the truth."

She spread her hands, looking indifferent.

The village chief's face turned a little darker. Chu Yan was questioning his authority, which made him very unhappy.

"We are all from the countryside, how ugly it would be to go to the government to cause trouble!"

His voice deepened.

"Yes, yes, I think I'll just pay some money. Anyway, Chang Zhe is not short of this money."

"I think I took an oxcart of stuff to the town to sell it last time. I might have gotten a lot of money from it."

"I've been passing by their house every day recently, and I can smell the aroma of meat. I'm so greedy! People are having a better life now, so don't worry about it."

"..."

What's funny is that people around him came to try to persuade him to make peace.

Chu Yan snorted coldly, "Just because we are from the countryside, many things have to be settled. Not only this, but also the matter of the seedlings from my aunt's house being stolen last year, and the chickens raised by my aunt's house were stolen by someone half a year ago."

Let us account for the stolen things one by one!"

When she got up early and came back late at home, she had encountered this situation many times, but she didn't dare to come forward for fear of causing trouble.

But she is definitely the one who knows the most secrets in the village.

She could count all the dirty things these people had done on her fingers.

It's boring to wear hypocritical masks one by one, why not take off the masks and face the true self.

This time, she will completely eliminate the petty ideas of people like Mrs. Lin!
