When the men of the Liang family heard the unanimous demand from behind that they be dealt with according to village rules, they panicked and blurted out a shout.

The Liang sisters were also stunned for a moment before they came to their senses; they were too engrossed in their thoughts.

Hearing about the village rules, I got scared. The village rules of Changna Village are no joke. I heard that they are getting stricter and stricter with each revision. If you make a big mistake, you will be severely punished, if not killed!

They don't want to!

In a panic, without thinking, they also shouted, "We are not from Changna Village, you can't punish us with your village rules!"

The three sons of the Liang family also started shouting. The whole family was very excited. At this moment, they only had one thought in their minds: they could not be punished!

Seeing this, the villagers of Changna Village became enraged and started arguing with the Liang family. Neither side would back down, and the situation quickly spiraled out of control.

It wasn't until the village chief struck the gong, the deafening sound echoing throughout the area, that the chaos subsided and everyone fell silent.

Everyone snapped out of their daze, their anger vanished, and they realized they had gone too far. They fell silent and all looked in the direction of the village chief.

Liang Li was terrified by the sudden gong sounds and almost collapsed to the ground. She was weak all over and gritted her teeth to hold on, hoping it would end soon. If it continued any longer, she would not be able to hold on!

Liang Hua was also startled, but she quickly recovered, secretly cursing the village chief in her heart and rolling her eyes.

Unexpectedly, her actions made her realize that something seemed off about her older sister!

Her older sister was very pale and seemed about to collapse, but she didn't think much of it, assuming that her older sister was just too scared. Her sister was a coward!

The rest of the Liang family didn't dare to say anything, but they also didn't pay attention to the two sisters.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, the village chief slowly spoke, "Do you want more time to argue?"

Everyone shook their heads and stopped arguing; arguing wouldn't solve anything.

Seeing that everyone was done arguing, the village chief turned around and said to the Liang family, "Our village rules are indeed formulated for the development of our village and are useful to the villagers! Although you are not from this village, from the moment you temporarily stayed in the village, I told you that you must abide by the village rules, and that you will be punished if you violate them! Think carefully, did I say that?"

The Liang family naturally remembered that they needed the village chief's permission to live in the village. The village chief did say that, but they didn't take it to heart and just let it go in one ear and out the other!

Every village has its own rules, which is a very normal thing, and who would pay special attention to it!

They all thought the village chief was just giving them a warning, and in order to get the village chief to agree quickly, they nodded and agreed without thinking too much!

They didn't take it seriously afterwards because they subconsciously felt that since they weren't from this village, the village rules were useless to them. They were outsiders, and if they were to be punished, it would be according to the village rules of their hometown!

So they didn't take Changna Village's rules seriously at all; what business was it of theirs?

Now that the village chief has suddenly brought this up, they suddenly feel something is wrong!

It seems they promised the village chief something!

It’s over!

He agreed that if he committed any offense in the village, he would accept the punishment according to the village rules!

It seems like that's the case!

I don't remember clearly, it's been so long!

etc!

Suddenly, the men of the Liang family had a flash of inspiration and came up with a good idea: to deny it!

It's been so long, who can remember exactly what was said back then? Besides, there was no one else present. As long as they insist that nothing like that happened, what can anyone do to them?

That's a great idea!

If they cannot prove what they promised, then they will not accept the village rules and regulations of Changna Village!

The Liang family man was smug about his brilliant idea, but he forgot the person who had initially taken them in!

When Cao Laoda saw that the Liang family men were indeed refusing to admit it, he secretly admired the village chief for even thinking of this!

Look at that man's ugly face, he regretted it so much. He shouldn't have been soft-hearted and taken them in!

What kind of people are these?!

That's absolutely disgusting!

He still held onto a sliver of hope, unwilling to believe it until he saw the truth. He always felt it couldn't be that bad, perhaps there was some hidden reason behind it!

Okay, he was just being delusional!

What nonsense about excuses, that's just his true nature!

Do you really think you can escape responsibility without evidence?

hehe!

The village chief also regretted it. He realized he couldn't be a good person. Look at him, he had let a wolf into the house!

None of the Liang family members felt guilty; they all wore expressions as if they had done nothing wrong and that no one admitted what he had said at the time!

It's no wonder that these people are capable of committing heinous and immoral acts!

The village chief took a few deep breaths and made a decision in his heart: from now on, he would not take in anyone, no matter who their relative was!

They did good deeds but were not rewarded; instead, they were accused of slandering them!

hehe!

They also demand that he compensate them for their losses!

Where's your face?!

Suppressing his anger, the village chief asked coolly, "Think carefully. Are you sure none of you have agreed to abide by the village rules of Changna Village and accept punishment for violating them?"

Just like before, the Liang family didn't hesitate and immediately shouted, "It's confirmed! Nobody outside has ever agreed to something like this!"

The village chief scoffed, his tone indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger. "Very well!"

Turning his head to the side, he said, "Brother Cao, come out here! You're the one who brought this person into the village, you're the one who begged me to come here, and you're the one who asked me to arrange their temporary accommodation. You've been following them the whole time, so you tell me what happened!"

Everyone turned their attention to Boss Cao, their eyes filled with warning: Speak properly, think it through before you speak!

If you're helping outsiders, then you might as well go with them!

Don't forget your place!

Cao felt immense pressure. He had never been in the spotlight like this before. It would be an honor to receive an award and give a speech, but not now!

Seeing the looks in the villagers' eyes, he didn't dare to speak, afraid that if he opened his mouth he would be pelted with stones!

When the Liang family heard Cao Laoda being called up, they were startled. Oh no, they had forgotten about him!

Who told Old Master Cao to be so poor? He just brought them in and then ignored them. They couldn't find him anymore, and they looked down on him because he was too poor. They subconsciously forgot about him!

All I could do was pray silently that Boss Cao hadn't paid attention and hadn't heard anything!

It looks dazed and confused; it's probably because it doesn't remember things. It's rare for its brain to remember anything!

The Liang family prayed that Cao Laoda wouldn't remember, while simultaneously looking down on and despising him.

Cao Laoda finally went up and stood face to face with everyone in the middle, right next to the village chief.

With everyone watching, he recounted the whole story, starting from when the Liang family sought refuge with him and continuing until now.

"They did indeed promise the village chief those things at the time!"
