The group of people majestically walked towards the village entrance.
Soong Xintong couldn't help but laugh when she saw the crowd of people following behind. When they were passing by the great banyan tree in the village, they were stopped by someone.
Zhang Cuihua looked at the man who had rushed over excitedly and kept on whining.
Soong Xintong looked at the middle-aged man. There was still mud on his legs. He must have just returned from the fields. Beside him was the fat Grandma Zhang.
Soong Xintong sized up this man. He was her father's elder brother? The man in his memory who was silent and only focused on helping the house owner?
She vaguely remembered her father saying that his big brother was honest and was very good to him. He never beat and scolded her, nor did she dislike him.
Was this person really so honest? Did she really treat him well?
If he was truly good to Ah'pa, why did he never utter a word every time Grandma Zhang and the others bullied him and stole the meat Ah Li bought? You always leave when you see a few of your nephews and daughters? His mother was about to sell her nephew daughter, yet she did not utter a single word?
Hmph, Soong Xintong couldn't help but sneer.
"What are you doing? Why are you tying up my Cuihua?" Soong Dajiang stopped everyone.
"Soong Dajiang, don't you know what this good wife of yours did? Let me tell you, she broke open Xintong's door and went in to rummage through her things. "She turned her house upside down, and if we hadn't rushed there too early, she would have stolen all their eggs." Xie Daniu didn't have a good impression of Soong Dajiang and said straightforwardly, "We're sending her to the government office right now. Who would dare to go out in the future with these kinds of thieves in the village? Is everyone right? "
"Exactly." "Send her to the officials, to the officials!"
"Everyone, move aside. If you don't send them to the yamen, it'll all be closed." Soong Xintong said loudly.
"You crafty little girl, she's your uncle's mother. What does it matter if you go to your house to help me clean up? You narrow-minded girl!" Grandma Zhang pointed at Soong Xintong's nose and scolded, "Why did I give birth to such a son? Forget about marriage; even my own daughter wasn't filial and had to be sent to an official. Are there still any laws?"
"Since you've both broken off your relationship with each other, we're just ordinary villagers. How about I pry open your house and go search?" Grandma Qiu retorted.
"How dare you!" Grandma Zhang replied without thinking.
"Hehe, you even dare to go to her house, why don't I go to your house?" Grandma Qiu sneered.
"That's right. Grandma Zhang, you're way too incredible!" Second Aunt Hee also squeezed into the crowd and spoke up for Soong Xintong.
Soong Xintong smiled gratefully at her.
"You all …" Grandma Zhang was so angry that she jumped up and down. Just as she was about to curse again, she was interrupted by Soong Dajiang. "Mom, don't say anymore."
Soong Dajiang looked at Soong Xintong. "Xintong, seeing that Eldest Uncle released your aunt this time, I can guarantee that she won't go to your house and cause trouble again."
"She's your wife." Grandma Zhang said in dissatisfaction.
Soong Xintong sneered. Do you think that your face is worth so much money? Just a simple sentence was enough to make her loosen up. How could there be such a cheap deal?
"We're all family, the bones are broken and the tendons are still attached. Let's spare your uncle and mother this time."
Soong Xintong glanced at the man who made sense. "Uncle, since we've broken off our engagement, if we get infected again, I'm afraid I'll kill your entire family."
"…" Soong Dajiang's expression changed.
"You …" Grandma Zhang was so angry that she couldn't take it anymore, "Dajiang, look at this jinx's sharp tongue. He's really unlucky."
"Excuse me, but if you don't, the yamen will be closed for real!" Soong Xintong had decided today that Soong Family and these people would exhaust themselves to the very end. They must be taught a lesson, or else there would be endless troubles in the future!
"Wuwuwu …" Zhang Cuihua struggled like her man begging for help. She didn't want to be sent to the yamen.
"What are you guys arguing about!" Village Head Wan rushed over with an unfriendly expression. Behind him were two men in steel clothing.
Village Head Wan glanced at Zhang Cuihua, who was tied up, and asked, "What's going on?"
"Village Chief, we grabbed her and forced open the door of the Soong Family girl's house. We turned her house upside down, so we could send her to the government!" Grandma Qiu brought the evidence for the lock to the two men, "These are all evidence. She used this iron rod to break open the door."
One of the fatter yamen runner glanced at Zhang Cuihua, "Since the evidence is conclusive, then take it with you."
"No, I can't. She went to my youngest son's house to retrieve something. It can't be considered as stealing." Grandma Zhang immediately said.
The skinnier yamen runner looked at Grandma Zhang and asked, "Really?"
"Yes, yes." Grandma Zhang was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. She kept saying while bending over, "Everything is a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding."
"We broke off the engagement, what do you mean my father is your son? You've never admitted it before. " Soong Xintong bowed towards the two brothers, "Brothers, this is not the first time that this family has been violated. If we do not punish them with the law now, I'm afraid that it will cause trouble for the other villagers in the future."
The two Wu steelers looked at each other, turned around and asked Village Head Wan: "Is this true?"
Village Head Wan said respectfully, "We do have a broken engagement, but I don't know about the other disputes they have in private."
What a joke! Soong Xintong sneered as she looked at Village Head Wan, who was bowing to Ye Zichen.
"Village Chief, a few days ago, it was because Grandma Zhang wanted to sell the Soong Family girl to the butcher who killed pigs to fill in the houses. Don't you know about this?" Grandma Qiu asked loudly.
Village Head Wan was sweating profusely, "This …"
The two yamen runner were both smart. What was there to not understand? Originally, they didn't want to bother with it, but this might have helped them out, so they pretended to ask Soong Xintong: "Do you know what she stole from your house?"
Soong Xintong was a little confused. Why did he suddenly turn around and ask her? After thinking for a moment, she said, "I'm not too sure either. When I got home, I found her rummaging through my house looking for something."
He then opened his eyes wide, "Could it be that you want to steal my Heptagram?"
When these words were spoken, the surrounding crowd burst into an uproar.
Geng Yi was something like that, it was an important proof of a man and woman's marriage. If it was stolen, then the Soong Family girl would have no choice but to marry Butcher Ma.
Zhang Cuihua whined non-stop.
The two yamen runner were annoyed listening to that, they took off the cloth that was blocking Zhang Cuihua's path, "You really stole it?"
Zhang Cuihua quickly said, "I didn't steal it. I just came to take a look along the way. I didn't take anything!" Big Brother, this little girl wronged me. You all have to avenge me! "
"You dare say that you don't have any evil intentions? "You want to push me into the fire pit just for 10 taels of silver? If I don't want to, you can think of all sorts of ways. If you steal my invitation today, will you send someone to tie me up tomorrow?" Soong Xintong asked with a hoarse voice, "Brother Qu, I don't want to marry that butcher who killed several wives."
"Since you two broke off your relationship, then naturally you can't force someone to marry you." The skinnier yamen runner also had a sister who was about the same age as Soong Xintong, so his words were filled with pity.
"But even though we broke off our engagement, they still won't let me go. I really had no choice but to go to the yamen to report her." Soong Xintong said.
Yes, Grand Master, you guys don't know that this black-hearted woman has found an old man in his fifties who has already killed several wives, and she even shamelessly ran to the entrance of the village to say that she wanted to see her fiancée. It's fine if you know that this is the doing of this damned old woman, but if you don't, then you might think that the Soong Family girl really did say that she was related. Grandma Qiu shouted loudly.
"My lords, this is the wishful thinking of that old butcher. Even though the little girl has broken off their engagement, we will not harm her." At this time, Soong Dajiang opened his mouth, "There must have been some misunderstanding. That butcher must have acted on his own."
