The two soon arrived at the village chief's house, and Lin Xiaoxiao grabbed Lin Rui who was about to enter.

"Brother, I'll start crying when I get in. Even if you rub your eyes, you have to rub them until they're red. And then don't say anything. Let me talk, okay?"

"Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?"

He is a grown man, how could he have the habit of crying?

"Second brother, don't worry about it, just listen to me."

"But……"

Before Lin Rui could finish his words, he saw Lin Xiaoxiao had already walked into the yard of the village chief's house.

Looking at Lin Xiaoxiao's thin but brave back, a strange expression flashed across Lin Rui's face. He felt that Lin Xiaoxiao was a little different since she woke up, but he couldn't tell exactly what was different. It seemed that she had her own ideas about everything.

As soon as Lin Xiaoxiao entered the yard, she saw a woman coming out of the kitchen. The woman looked surprised when she saw Lin Xiaoxiao, "Hey, Xiaoxiao, why are you here?"

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the woman for a while and guessed that she must be the village chief's wife Miao Hong. So she rubbed her eyes and started crying, "Wuwu...Auntie..."

She choked up a bit, "Is Uncle Gui home?"

The village chief is called Lin Zhigui, and when the younger generations see him, they all call him Uncle Gui.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying like this?" Miao Hong is a soft-hearted person. She can't stand seeing others cry, especially someone like Lin Xiaoxiao who has been without parents since childhood.

She helped Lin Xiaoxiao walk to the main room, "Your uncle is in the main room, is there something wrong at home?"

Lin Xiaoxiao had just reached the door of the main hall when Lin Zhigui, who had heard the noise, came over. Before he could ask what was going on, Lin Xiaoxiao started crying and complaining in clear pronunciation and logical logic.

"Uncle Gui, my aunt and uncle forced me to marry Lin Dacheng. They wanted me to marry a bald old man in his thirties who likes to drink and beat people..."

“…”

How can someone in his thirties be considered an old man? Then what about someone in his forties?

But compared to Lin Xiaoxiao, this man is a little older.

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao gasping for breath from crying, Lin Zhigui asked with some embarrassment, "When did this happen?"

Lin Xiaoxiao sobbed, "It's been several days. I was forced to jump into the river yesterday, and my aunt wouldn't let me go. Today, as soon as I woke up, she came to my house to make trouble again. I was forced to do this, so I came to you."

Lin Zhigui was surprised. "Did you jump into the river by yourself yesterday?"

He only heard that Lin Xiaoxiao fell into the water, but he didn't expect that there were these things involved.

Before Lin Xiaoxiao could answer, Lin Rui, holding the little baby in his arms, walked in with red eyes, "Uncle Gui, if I hadn't rescued her in time, Xiaoxiao would have really died..."

He had just rubbed his eye circles for a long time outside the door, but to no avail. However, after hearing Lin Xiaoxiao's crying words, Lin Rui, who felt sorry for his sister, couldn't help but have red eyes.

"Zhigui, what Qin Fang did was really too much. You have to intervene." Even Lin Rui, a grown man, was forced into this state. This brother and sister must have been forced into a desperate situation.

Logically speaking, this is someone else's family affair. Although he is the village chief, it is not easy for him to interfere. But now someone is about to die, and it would be unreasonable for him to not intervene.

After thinking for a while, Lin Zhigui said, "Wait a moment, I'll go back with you."

Lin Zhigui turned around and went back into the main room. Lin Xiaoxiao followed his figure and glanced into the room, but she met a sharp and shrewd gaze, and she was stunned for a moment.

In Lin Zhigui's main room, there was a man sitting upright. He was wearing a long black windbreaker that was so exquisite that there was not a single wrinkle.

His sculpted facial features were as perfect as a work of art, especially his eyes, which were as mysterious and bright as the stars in the dark night, or like the wolf king in the deep forest, emitting an unfathomable light.

His whole body exudes an aura of fortitude and majesty without anger.
