The people in the small mountain village have always been simple and honest, and there are rarely such petty thefts.

Jing Li stood there in a daze for a moment before he ran after him: "Stop!"

The other person ran very fast, and in a blink of an eye, he had already reached the distant ridge of the field. Jing Li was not used to walking on this kind of field path, so he tripped over the gravel and fell to the ground.

Jing Li frowned in pain as his palm was scratched by the gravel.

"Isn't this Qin Zhao's husband? What happened?" Li Dali saw Jing Li fall from a distance and hurried forward to help him up. "Are you hurt? Don't you know how to walk carefully? What's the rush?"

Jing Li didn't care about him at all, and raised his hand to point to the distance: "Brother Dali, that man—"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a cry of surprise from the front.

The man, who had already run far away, was tripped by something and fell from the side of the ridge and rolled into the ditch.

Jing Li: “…”

Jing Li: “???”

Isn't it a flat road there?

Li Dali helped him walk over and fell alone on the rocks beside the ditch, groaning as he was dying.

"Ayu? What are you doing here?" Li Dali recognized the man and shouted into the ditch.

Jing Li asked, "Do you know him?"

"This is my cousin."

The man's name was Li Hongyu, the son of Li Dali's father's younger brother, and also...A Xiu's biological brother.

It took Jing Li a while to sort out the complicated family relationship and roughly understand why he did this.

Qin Zhao had rejected Ah Xiu's advances before, and neither he nor Qin Zhao took this episode seriously. But from the brother's perspective, he probably felt that his sister was being bullied.

Today happened to be the day when Li's second uncle was visiting Qin Zhao's house, so Li Hongyu took advantage of this opportunity to do something bad in his field.

Who knew that instead of accomplishing anything bad, he would end up like this.

"Are you seeking revenge against us?" Jing Li asked.

Li Hongyu fell quite hard, and his left forearm must have been fractured, so he couldn't move it.

Hearing Jing Li ask this, he said angrily: "I didn't--"

"Don't move!" He just opened his mouth when he was scolded by Doctor Ge who was helping to bandage his arm. "Don't you want your arm anymore?"

Li Hongyu shut up in disappointment.

He is only one year older than A Xiu, is not married yet, and looks childish.

They were currently at the village chief's house. Li Dali moved a stool and sat by the door. After listening to the whole story, he angrily slapped Li Hongyu on the head and said, "You useless little bastard!"

His grip was too strong, and Li Hongyu cried out in pain: "Brother Dali, why are you siding with outsiders? They treated Ah Xiu like that—"

"Shout louder, do you want the whole village to hear this?" Li Dali interrupted coldly.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. "This matter was originally the fault of Aunt He and my aunt. Qin Zhao was very polite by not telling anyone about it. Why are you still not going to stop? Why do you have to make a fuss so that the whole village will know about it?"

"I didn't, I just..." Chen Hongyu's voice gradually weakened, "I just wanted to teach him a lesson."

Li Dali: "You bastard—"

"Da Li, calm down first." The village chief brought them a few cups of tea and said calmly, "I just went to check. Fortunately, Qin Zhao's husband discovered it in time. The roots of the seedlings were not damaged. If they are planted in time, they can still survive."

Li Dali nodded: "Okay, I'll go replant the seedlings in a moment."

"As for Hongyu, according to the village rules..."

Before the village chief finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the door.
