The villagers of Dashui Village also looked at Jiang Tieniu with disapproval.

"Tie Niu, we're all relatives, aren't you asking for too much?"

"Yes, Tie Niu, Lao Wu is still your cousin. You're all family, why are you being so petty?"

"If you ask me, one or two taels of silver would be enough. Why pay so much? It's not worth damaging family ties with twenty taels of silver."

The villagers all tried to dissuade him.

Jiang Tieniu glared at the villagers. "Hmph, you're just talking without understanding the situation. It's not like your spouse and daughter are the ones who are injured, that's why you're talking like this."

I'm telling you now, I'm taking the twenty taels of silver from the fifth brother's family!

Old Man Jiang and Old Woman Jiang stared at Jiang Tie Niu in astonishment, their faces pale.

The two of them realized that Jiang Tieniu was after their Jiang family's dozen or so acres of paddy fields. Even if it wasn't Wan Yatou today, it would be Dajiang, Dahe, or even Dahu and Liuer!

The two accepted their fate and stopped blaming Jiang Wanwan.

Jiang Wanwan, with a stern face, looked straight at Jiang Tieniu and said solemnly, "Grandpa Tieniu, we just agreed that if we can't find any evidence on us to prove that I caused the injuries and eye injuries to Grandma Cuihua and Aunt Zhuzhu, then whatever amount of money you demand in compensation, I will demand the same amount. Give me a straight answer. Do you agree to this?"

Jiang Jialin paused for a moment, instantly realizing that his daughter had insisted on saying that she had broken her leg bone—it turned out she was setting a trap for Uncle Tie Niu!

Jiang Jialin didn't think his daughter was being scheming; on the contrary, he was secretly pleased. With his daughter so clever, he didn't have to worry about her getting taken advantage of!

Grandma Jiang looked up at the calm and composed Jiang Wanwan and wondered to herself, "Could it be that Wanwan really didn't do this?"

Is there any chance that things can turn around?

Jiang Tieniu sneered inwardly. The little girl was trying to scare him with this trick so that he wouldn't demand so much money from her family.

Haha, if you were timid, you would have been scared out of your wits by her trick.

But who is he? He's Jiang Tieniu! When has he ever let himself suffer a loss?

Jiang Tieniu said without even blinking, "Of course we admit it. If this wasn't done by you and your brothers, our family will compensate your family with twenty taels of silver!"

“Okay, that’s what you said.” Jiang Wanwan looked at the village chief and the villagers of Dashui Village and said in a clear voice, “I would like to ask the village chief and all the uncles, aunts, grandfathers and grandmothers to be my witnesses.”

"Village chief, could you please have someone search my brother and me, as well as our baskets?" Jiang Wanwan said softly, her gaze calm.

Whether it was their imagination or not, the villagers of Dashui Village noticed that Jiang Wanwan seemed like a different person. Although she still spoke softly, she was nothing like the timid and hesitant little girl who had been crying the whole time.

Jiang Xun and his brothers hesitated, which Jiang Tielin noticed.

He said smugly, "What? Starting to panic now? Hahaha, too late! If you had begged for mercy earlier, I might have taken less, but it's too late now!"

Jiang Wanwan looked at Jiang Xun and the others, "Brothers, don't worry. Put your baskets on the ground and let them search through them."

Jiang Xun and the others glanced at Jiang Wanwan, gritted their teeth, and finally obediently put the baskets on the ground.

The village chief scanned the crowd, then selected three or four people to search the Jiang brothers and their baskets. Jiang Wanwan, on the other hand, was searched by the village chief's eldest daughter-in-law, Zhang Guilan.

The villagers first thoroughly searched Jiang Xun and his companions from head to toe. Jiang Tieniu stared intently at them with his big, ox-like eyes, as if afraid they would help Jiang Xun and his group get away with it. During this time, Jiang Tieniu even pointed out a few places for the villagers to search.
