Just then, a sneer came from behind.

"Ha, who said to divide the beef and mutton equally?"

Chu Xiao walked up from the back of the crowd and stared at the two burly men who were shouting the loudest.

What a coincidence!

These two were none other than Wang Shouxin's father, Wang Jianjun, and his uncle, Wang Jianguo.

The Wang family not only has a farmhouse restaurant by the roadside, but also a strawberry farm.

Of all the families involved in this incident, theirs caused the most trouble.

Wang Jianjun and Wang Jianguo were slightly taken aback when they saw Chu Xiao.

But they quickly came to their senses and pointed at his nose, cursing:

"You coward, you've finally decided to show your face!"

"Your cattle and sheep trampled all my strawberries, which had a total value of one million. You're losing money!"

Chu Xiao wasn't angry at being scolded; instead, he asked the village chief:

"Village chief, I'm not familiar with the agriculture in this village. Could you tell me where the Wang family's orchard is located, how many acres it is in total, what the yield per acre was last year, and how much money they made?"

Those who are engaged in planting usually have some kind of record in the village.

Upon hearing this, the village chief wiped the sweat from his brow.

"Wang's strawberry garden is located at the west end of the village, covering a total of 30 mu (approximately 2 hectares). Each mu yields about 3,000 jin (approximately 1,500 kg), so 30 mu would yield about 9,000 jin (approximately 4,500 kg). At a price of 10 yuan per jin, the annual output value last year was about 900,000 yuan."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianjun and Wang Jianguo immediately smiled.

"So, Mr. Chu, the village chief is a witness for us. Tell me how you're going to compensate us?"

Chu Xiao ignored them and instead asked the village chief again.

"What about the land belonging to the Sun and Nian families?"

"The Sun family's peanut field is on the east side of the farm, and the Nian family's orchard is on the northwest side of the farm. There's a reservoir in between. Don't you know that?"

Chu Xiao nodded.

"Yes, I do know, but the Wang family doesn't seem to know."

"Chu Xiao, what do you mean?" Wang Jianjun asked coldly.

Chu Xiao walked up to the old man of the Nian family at a leisurely pace and asked, "Grandpa Nian, you have been growing fruit trees for many years. Do you go to the orchard every day?"

Grandpa Nian was the oldest among the troublemakers, and he didn't necessarily want to do anything to the Chu family.

He was just upset that half the fruit trees in the garden had been ruined and wanted some compensation.

"That's right, I go to check on the garden every day, but I missed it these past two days because of the wedding banquet, and now your family has made such a mess of it. You have to give me an explanation!"

"If your orchard was indeed cultivated by my cattle and sheep, I will naturally give you an explanation. Otherwise, what?"

"What do you mean? Are you trying to renege on your debt?"

Chu Xiao shook his head.

"It's not that I'm reneging on my debt. Think about it yourself. Your orchard is to the northwest of my farm, separated by a reservoir. Also, your orchard is surrounded by barbed wire, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Chu Xiao's voice suddenly rose: "That's right, my cattle and sheep can't fly, how could they possibly cross my wall, wade across the river, and climb over the barbed wire to ruin your fruit?"

Grandpa Nian's expression paused for a moment.

"That being said, I did indeed lead a few sheep and a few cows out of the orchard."

"Right, I also find it strange, so in order to find out, I would like to invite you all to my farm."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianguo and Wang Jianjun immediately felt a little guilty.

"What do you want? We have a ton of work to do in the fields, we're not in the mood to mess around with you, hurry up and pay up!"

"That's right! I think you're just trying to stall for time. Don't think we don't know."

Seeing this, Chu Xiao deliberately moved closer to them and sneered:

"We definitely need to pay compensation, but we also need to find out the truth, right?"

"Oh, by the way, I even specifically asked the entire village to be witnesses. You... you're not hiding something and too scared to go, are you?"
