Chen Xian walked up to Su Laosan.

"Third Uncle, does your stomach still hurt?"

The man in front of her was Liniang's third uncle. According to Liniang, since her father passed away, her third uncle had been secretly providing her with food from time to time. Although it wasn't much, it was just enough for her to barely survive.

Okay, then let's seek justice for Uncle San.

Su Laosan looked at the farmer who had been in control of the situation. He was dressed in coarse cloth and was dressed like a peasant, but he looked like a great man who had seen it all.

Prioritizing tasks and urgency was always under his control.

First, they restrained the restless Red Leaf Village, and then used the pretext of recruitment to restrict them and prevent them from speaking.

Later, the rumors surrounding Liniang were cleared up.

He secretly observed Li Niang and Shuang Shuang's strange and awkward expression, which gave him a bold idea: what his nephew-in-law had just told his niece must be the actual inventor of that dish.

Unsurprisingly, this is likely a label that the niece's husband deliberately attached to Liniang.

Very smart.

They are also very selfless.

No man in the world wants to be outmaneuvered by a woman. In the future, when people talk about the inventor of braised pork, they will only mention Li Niang and no one will mention Chen Xian.

With a sigh, I exclaimed, "What an extraordinary magnanimity!"

"Is Uncle alright? Is he alright?"

Su Laosan shook his head, "I'm fine, nothing's wrong."

Chen Xian looked at him intently.

"I think Uncle San is in a lot of pain."

"Um?"

Chen Xian calmly said, "Third Uncle is injured. According to the wages he earned carrying heavy loads for me, it's thirty-five coins a day. It will take a hundred days to recover from the injury, so that's three taels and five qian. As for other miscellaneous expenses such as nutrition and food, I'll round it down to four taels for you."

Boss You almost laughed out of anger.

“But Su Laosan attacked first. My crotch hurts now, and I still want four taels of silver.”

Chen Xian glanced indifferently at the people of Red Leaf Village.

He asked seriously, "Did any of you see it?"

A shirtless man, grinning, stepped forward, carrying a brick.

"No."

"What a joke! Even without the threat of a brick, I don't plan to stand up. I still plan to come here and be a proud pig farm worker. Why should I make myself a hated person for Boss You? Besides, Boss You isn't a good guy either. He's foul-mouthed and talks badly about people behind their backs. Doesn't he have any backbone?"

Boss You almost suffered internal injuries from holding it in.

He wasn't afraid of external pressure, but the betrayal by his colleagues made him even angrier.

"You! You bastards!"

In an instant, he stood alone in the center of the field, abandoned like a rotten fruit or vegetable leaf that no one cared about.

Chen Xian chuckled and said, "It seems that your friend, Boss You, is more willing to uphold justice. You were the one who hit my third uncle first, but you insist on making irrelevant accusations and slandering him."

Old Man You shouted angrily, "I don't believe that when we get to the county, the magistrate will listen to your false accusations."

"But have you noticed that you are actually... the only one telling the story? It seems like you've been the only one giving testimony from beginning to end."

"ah!"

Chen Xian said calmly, "Now you know how unpleasant it feels to be falsely accused, right?"

He smiled.

"If you don't believe me, look around you."

Old Master You stared at the calm man's face, wondering what cunning, treachery, and malice lay hidden beneath. He was so frustrated he nearly vomited blood.

He slumped to the ground and began breathing heavily.

Meanwhile, the villagers of Hongye Village, emboldened by their presence, were pulling and urging Liu Quan along.

"Go quickly."

Liu Quan tentatively began to speak.

"Ha, it's so hot today."

"Um."

"I have a somewhat immature idea."

Chen Xian frowned. "Since it's an immature idea, why say it?"

"ha?!"

With a blush on his face, the man bit his tongue and whispered, "Look, Boss Chen, it's all because of Boss You's foul mouth. Everyone else is nice. Can we build houses at the pig farm too?"

Chen Xian: "Hmm?"

Liu Quan stammered, "After all, none of them stood in front of Boss You to testify just now. It was Su Laosan who started it, so they lied."

Chen Xian: "Threatening me?"

"No? Where would I have such a thought?" He quickly explained, stunned by Chen Xian's recruitment pitch, and dared not offend him at all.

Chen Xian chuckled: "Just these few?"

Is there a way?

Liu Quan quickly beckoned them over.

At this point, the villagers of Hongye Village can be divided into two groups: those who initially surrounded You Laoda, and those who remained neutral and helped Su Laosan break up the fight.

The latter felt uneasy seeing that those accomplices and scoundrels from before were also allowed to go in and work.

A bunch of damn opportunists have the nerve to go work on someone else's site.

But since we're all from the same village, I felt embarrassed to say it.

The atmosphere was eerie, with the two groups of people clearly separated.

Su Laosan stopped them, his meaning was clear.

Those opportunists cursed under their breath.

Chen Xian glanced at them, roughly understood, and calmly said, "Brother Liu, when did I agree to let these people work at my place?"

"ah?"

The villagers who aided and abetted the crime had different motives.

The villagers who were accomplices cursed under their breath: What bad luck!

As for the neutral villagers, Chen Xian calmly said, "Third Uncle, write down all their names. They'll be paid 35 coins a day, including one meal. You'll be the same. Come to work tomorrow."

The neutral villagers were somewhat incredulous. To be fair, they were all honest people who rarely caused trouble. When faced with problems, they were cowardly and timid. If they were bullied, they would simply push the bullies away. If someone stepped on their feet, they would even apologize and say, "Sorry, I made you put your feet on the ground."

A suffocatingly cowardly personality.
