The Liang family members turned pale upon hearing this; they had truly forgotten the person who had led them into the village!

Looking back now, it's true. Boss Cao was always running around for them and stayed by their side. He even brought the village chief with him. Otherwise, how could they have met the village chief so easily!

If it weren't for Boss Cao, they would never have been able to stay in Changna Village!

However, since Boss Cao had no money, he couldn't help them at all. Later on, he simply abandoned them. They were unfamiliar with the area and were desperately trying to survive every day!

If only Cao Laoda had been like some of the more capable villagers and given them some money to settle their lives, they wouldn't be in this situation!

Many villagers seem to be living quite well, so why can't Old Master Cao's family live like that?

Seeing the villagers buying meat to stew every other day, and the aroma of oil being pressed and meat being stir-fried filling the village, made them incredibly hungry. They could only smell it, but couldn't eat it!

It's so painful!

My stomach is louder than a gong!

When they arrived in the village, the villagers initially offered them some relief, giving them rice, vegetables, and the like. But with so many people in their family, it wasn't enough to eat, and they finished it off in no time!

They had been walking this way for a month, going hungry every day. They had very little to eat, and their stomachs were so empty that they really wanted to eat meat!

However, every household in the village was eating it, but no one shared any with them. They were only concerned with eating it themselves. The aroma wafted out and even made the children cry with envy, all of them shouting that they wanted to eat meat!

If Boss Cao had some ability, he could buy them some meat and give them a little something to eat, and they would definitely remember him!

No one is helping them, so they have to figure it out themselves. Who has time to remember someone who can't help them?

The Liang family had a lot of resentment towards Cao Laoda, who brought them into the village but then abandoned them, leaving them to struggle for survival!

When Boss Cao revealed the truth, they not only didn't think they were wrong, but they also felt that Boss Cao was too heartless. They were all relatives, and they were already in such a sorry state, yet he didn't even try to help them. Instead, he revealed the so-called truth, putting them in a desperate situation!

Fueled by anger and resentment, the Liang family decided to disown Cao as their relative. They blamed Cao for turning his back on them first and not protecting them at all!

We could have let them go before, but now that they're in this predicament, instead of helping them, we're pushing them into the abyss!

"Old Cao is from your village, so of course he'll side with you! His words don't count! You're definitely protecting your own people and your own interests! If you don't like us outsiders, you can just say so. Why make up so many excuses and accuse us? It's really tough on you!"

The Liang family men denied it outright and even turned the tables, their words revealing sarcasm and contempt.

At this point, the Liang family man felt he could no longer stay in the village, but he didn't want to accept the village rules and planned to cause trouble and mess things up!

If you don't want to stay, then you don't want to stay. The world is vast, and it's not like you can only stay in Changna Village!

They might be better off living somewhere else!

Since we're going to tear off all pretenses anyway, there's no need to hold back. We're all enemies, so there's no need to be polite to enemies!

Criticize as you see fit!

Cao was furious; he was so angry he felt like he'd been struck by lightning for trying to be kind!

If he had known these people were like this, he would have refused them outright. It's better to pity the stray dogs outside than these heartless people!

In the end, there wasn't a single word of gratitude; instead, it all became my fault!

hehe!

He finally understood: these people never wanted to support themselves; they only wanted others to support them!

Pooh!

What the heck!

They are not relatives!

He'd rather be related to a bastard than to these people; he felt ashamed!

The words of the Liang family men not only angered Old Master Cao, but it can be said that everyone present was also furious!

Many things were witnessed by everyone, but this man denied them with just one sentence and even said that they were slandering them!

Naturally, some villagers couldn't swallow this insult, so they ganged up on them, and another argument broke out.

The village chief sighed and shook his head. The Liang family was just making a last-ditch effort, thinking that they could really get away with it by not admitting anything!

That's hilarious!

well!

From now on, we will resolutely refuse to take in people from other places. Even those we know well may not be good people, and who knows what kind of people are from out of town!

Good intentions and kindness shouldn't be wasted like this!

You can know a person's face but not their heart; you can't see into their belly. He also has to consider the safety of the villagers!

The development momentum of Changna Village is quite rapid, which is bound to cause some people to feel unbalanced. If someone with bad intentions tries to sabotage the village and uses tricks to infiltrate it, that would be terrible!

Looking back now, I still feel scared!

These rules need to be changed again; a few more should be added!

Prevention is better than cure, it's really necessary!

Otherwise, if we really encounter this situation, everyone will be caught off guard, and the village will definitely suffer heavy losses!

We must not let those malicious people succeed!

They can be kind, but it depends on who they're kind to!

When facing enemies, wolves and tigers, one should naturally put away all kindness!

In order to evade punishment, the Liang family used all the skills they had learned in their lives, employing both soft and hard tactics, since none of them were without skills!

They talk nonsense with righteous indignation, argue illogically, act coy and pitiful, masquerade as righteous and distort the truth, spout wild words and threaten to make others pay—uh, they all have it all!

Tsk tsk, if only they had this much work ethic on ordinary days, they wouldn't have ended up in a situation where they're constantly starving!

So ruthless, so fierce, so full of energy! They worked like crazy, and if they didn't have food to eat, it would be an injustice!

The gong sounds!

This time, things didn't quiet down so quickly; there were several gong sounds and a lot of noise!

There was another sound before it finally quieted down.

The village chief didn't waste any more words. In this sweltering heat, it's not worth wasting time here for these people. Why not just deal with them and go home to rest?

"Don't try to argue, and don't treat people like fools! No matter which village you go to, you must abide by its rules. Everyone should know that! Aren't you human? You say you're refugees who fled famine and haven't stopped at any other village along the way? Who do you think will believe that? Do you think you can avoid punishment by making a scene? Don't be naive. If you dare cause any more trouble, we'll take you directly to the authorities and let them decide!"

The village chief roared. He had been the village chief for decades, and he hadn't done it for nothing. His tone, his manner, and his authority would have made the guilty tremble with fear!

The Liang family didn't dare utter a single word.

"Enough with the nonsense, just follow the village rules!"

"No! You can't do this! Young Master Mo! Please, please save my family!"
