When the villagers waiting in the yard learned that Cuihong had actually gotten up, they became more certain of their guess. It was already noon and she was still sleeping. She must have done something bad when she went out last night.

It’s true, these villagers guessed the truth just by their casual comments.

Zhao Yongqiang, who was taken to the courtyard, learned from the villagers' discussions the purpose of their taking him home. He was so frightened that his face turned pale and his legs began to tremble.

Zhao Yongqiang knew very well that he had brought the lime home with his own hands.

But he didn't expect that Cuihong, this silly woman, could be so stupid that she dared to...

Zhao Yongqiang wanted to use lime to destroy Qian Chunhua's land, but he definitely would not choose this time last night. After all, they had a conflict in the afternoon. Who would be so stupid as to spread lime in the evening?

Zhao Yongqiang was almost mad at this stupid woman Cuihong.

When Cuihong arrived at the courtyard, everyone looked at her, their eyes full of inquiry and hatred.

Feeling guilty, Cuihong's legs went limp all of a sudden, and she staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Zhao Xiaojuan quickly supported Cuihong, "Mom, are you still dizzy?"

After finishing her words, Zhao Xiaojuan explained to everyone, "My mother was sick last night and had a fever, so I got up late today."

Zhao Xiaojuan's words made the simple villagers feel uneasy and guilty about their previous guess. In addition, Cuihong had just gotten out of bed with red cheeks, as if she had a fever.

It turned out that it wasn't done by Cuihong, so who could it be? The villagers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Zhao Yongqiang was secretly happy in his heart that his daughter was not bad, smart and able to adapt to changing circumstances.

Everyone was present. Village chief Wang frowned and looked at Cuihong and her son in confusion. He also heard what Zhao Xiaojuan said. Could it be that his suspicion was wrong?

No matter what, to catch the thief and seize the stolen goods, Village Chief Wang would not slander someone at will. He needs evidence.

"Zhao Yongqiang, Zhao Cuihong, someone sprinkled lime on Qian Chunhua's field last night. Did you know about this?" Village Chief Wang asked.

Zhao Yongqiang and Cuihong both shook their heads like rattles and denied it flatly.

"Village chief, I stayed in the ancestral hall all night, and Patriarch Zhao can testify." Zhao Yongqiang defended himself respectfully.

Patriarch Zhao nodded. The ancestral hall was locked at midnight in the evening. When the keys were locked, Zhao Yongqiang was still in the hall, so there was no way he could come out and do anything bad.

Patriarch Zhao can testify to this for Zhao Yongqiang.

Village Chief Wang looked at Cuihong, "Cuihong, what about you?"

Cuihong's legs went limp, and Zhao Xiaojuan beside her immediately supported her, "Mom, the village chief wants to ask you a question."

Zhao Xiaojuan's childish voice sounded, reminding Cuihong.

Qian Chunhua saw this scene and shook his head secretly. He thought that Cuihong's psychological quality was not as strong as Zhao Xiaojuan's. Zhao Xiaojuan was a girl who should not be underestimated. Qian Chunhua once again looked at Zhao Xiaojuan with admiration.

After being reminded by Zhao Xiaojuan, Cuihong calmed down and quickly denied it, "Village head, I was sick last night and had a fever. I don't know who spread the lime on the spring flower field."

"Can someone search it?"

"Search at will."

Cuihong immediately answered that she was not that stupid. How could she leave any evidence at home after doing something bad? After spreading the lime last night, she threw the sack of lime into a manure pit at the entrance of the village.
