Zhao Lingdang was so frightened by the overreaction of the aunts that she hid behind Qian Shuishui.

Seeing that things were not going well, the three uncles rushed over and dragged Zhao Lingdang out from behind Qian Shuishui.

Qian Shuishui, a woman, was no match for three grown men.

Zhao Lingdang was violently dragged aside. "Let me go! Let me go! I don't know anything!"

The more this happened, the more the three uncles and aunts felt that Zhao Lingdang was hiding something. They all stepped forward and surrounded Zhao Lingdang.

Seeing that she was outnumbered and powerless and unable to turn the tide, Qian Shuishui quickly ran towards Zhao Tingzhang's house.

Qian Shuishui ran very fast, and Zhao Lingdang's cries for help could still be heard behind her.

She was sweating profusely with anxiety, but fortunately the distance between the households in the village was not too far.

Qian Shuishui frantically pounded on the door of Zhao Tingzhang's house, calling out, "Tingzhang, Tingzhang..."

A short while later, Liu opened the door from the inside. "It's Dazhuang's wife. What's wrong?"

Qian Shuishui swallowed hard, panting, and asked, "Auntie, where's the village head?"

"Ah, the village head is at the village entrance..."

Before Liu could finish speaking, Qian Shuishui quickly ran towards the village entrance.

At the entrance of Changfeng Village, Zhao Tingzhang, He Tiantian, and He Chun stood together chatting.

Actually, they were just talking about Zhao Youcai's family. Although the funeral was over, there were still some miscellaneous things to deal with that were quite troublesome.

Zhao, the village head, sighed heavily. "Brother He, you have no idea how difficult it is for me to be a village head. Look at Youcai's family, that woman wants to drag the whole family down to hell, what will happen to the little Lingdang?"

Although He Chun was dull-witted, he was quite good at distinguishing right from wrong.

"I heard that Guihua's in-laws treated her like a human being, which led her to take such an extreme step."

Tao Guihua was someone his parents knew from their village. In his memory, Tao Guihua's parents were shrewd, but not unreasonable people.

"Isn't that the incident where our village stole grain last year? Sigh... what a tragedy."

Looking back now, even Zhao Tingzhang doesn't know whether his decision was right or wrong.

If the fact that their village sent Tao Guihua's family to jail led to the deaths of Zhao Youcai's family, that would truly be...

Zhao, the village head, couldn't help but feel a little guilty...

Seeing that Zhao Tingzhang's expression was somewhat unpleasant, He Tiantian said, "Every family has its own troubles. Guihua's resentment is not entirely due to what happened last year. There has been a rift between them ever since they got married."

"Youcai's parents were very suspicious of Guihua, and probably never gave her a kind look. Youcai didn't stand up for his wife at all during the crisis, etc... These are all important reasons why their family broke apart."

Hearing this made Zhao Tingzhang feel a little better.

"Village Chief, Village Chief..." Qian Shuishui called out when she saw Village Chief Zhao from a distance.

The three of them looked at Qian Shuishui together.

"Village head, the bell... quick..."

Upon hearing the bell, Zhao Tingzhang immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly followed Qian Shuishui home.
