The villagers looked quite anxious; if something happened to the child of an important person in the village, they would be finished too.
I don't seek great wealth or high status, I only wish to live a peaceful life.
"Zhao Ping's mother, please persuade Zhao Ping not to do anything foolish."
"Yeah, if she wants to die, she shouldn't drag us down with her."
"She's got a problem. She did something so immoral. Her character is terrible. It's normal that people don't want her. And she still has the nerve to be jealous."
"Hey, she's the village chief's daughter, she has the right to be arrogant."
"Pah! In front of big shots, the village chief is nothing. If someone harms the descendants of a big shot, the village chief will be finished too."
Zhao Ping's mother hurriedly tried to persuade her, whether out of concern for the child or the old man, "Xiao Ping, put the person down quickly, don't do anything foolish, or you'll implicate your father and you won't be able to be the village chief's daughter."
Zhao Ping'an and Chen Li were speechless. At this moment, his mother/mother-in-law only cared about the position of village chief. She had been bossed around by that person for most of her life, and she didn't even find it tiring.
Zhao Ping wouldn't listen to any advice and instead burst into wild laughter, "Hahaha, I'm not having a good time, and you expect them to have a good time? Dream on."
“Our family was doing just fine. My brother Tiejun and I went to the city to work and had the opportunity to meet important people. Our future seemed limitless.”
"Let's find another opportunity to help the big shot or his descendants, get us a house in the city, and then we can become real city dwellers."
"But you've ruined all of this. You've ruined my future."
She was almost insane, shouting, "I'm going to drag you all down with me, one by one, hahahaha!"
If you've never had hope, you won't be disappointed. But since you gave her a beautiful fantasy, why cruelly shatter it? On what grounds?
Guagua: "This is the villain's thought process. They say they're big shots, so why are they so easily fooled?"
Shishi: "The villain died because he talked too much. She really talked too much. If we had acted immediately, Da Liu might have suffered."
"But her expression was a little strange; it didn't seem like she was complaining that her happiness had been ruined."
Guagua: "Could it be because she's already gone mad, that's why it's strange?"
Shishi: "Maybe."
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, her little legs moved—or rather, her hands. Nannan wasn't wrong; she really did use her two-finger kung fu.
As Zhao Ping lifted her up and stared at her, revealing a strange smile, she pulled out a small knife. Suddenly, the chubby little hand rose up, and the lame girl swiftly attacked.
"Ha, watch my two-finger kung fu!"
"Ouch, my eyes, my eyes hurt so much! Your hands are so short, how can you poke both eyes at the same time?"
Everyone: ...Is this the point we should be focusing on?
Clang~
Thump~
The knife falls to the ground, and so does the baby.
Xie Lin rushed over and caught the chubby girl, then kicked Zhao Ping away. In the same spot, Toad Ping reappeared, this time injuring the other side of her face and forehead, making it symmetrical.
The chubby little girl beamed with pride, head held high, "Of course it's because I've practiced!"
"Xiaoping, how are you? Old Zhao, where the hell have you been? Look at how badly the family has been bullied, are you still going to be a coward?"
Zhao Pingniang was extremely flustered.
With such a commotion, his wife still hasn't come out. Could it be that he's given up on this family?
No, that's impossible.
He's my pillar of support; I can't abandon him.
The villagers also discovered that the village chief seemed to have really disappeared.
That shouldn't be the case; it was just here a moment ago.
Some villagers who noticed the village chief's movements wanted to run to the backyard to see what was going on, but before they could even move, the armed forces arrived and saluted Xiao Dan.
"Greetings, Commander."
Xiao Dan returned the salute, "Go ahead, they're in the backyard."
After observation, the villagers present did not appear to be acting strangely. Among the village chief's family members, apart from his wife being a bit odd, his daughter being overly materialistic, and his third daughter-in-law being jealous, the others all had very clear and honest eyes.
Therefore, the only one who is up to no good is the village chief.
The team leader was someone they knew, and the child in his father's arms took the initiative to inform them, "Uncle Team Leader, you need to loosen the soil with a shovel before pulling out the radishes."
The sudden, unrelated sentence left the team leader and the villagers bewildered. When they went inside, they were shocked to find that the village chief had been buried.
The eldest grandson chimed in, "He was the old grandfather, a bad grandfather. The seed was bad, so no new grandfather grew."
Chen Li, looking embarrassed, picked up her innocent-looking daughter.
Strange, she and her husband never taught her this, so how does their daughter know about farming?
The team leader didn't rush to dig up the person, but instead interrogated him on the spot. The village chief still stubbornly refused to admit it, saying, "Someone must have framed me. I'm innocent."
Zhao Tiejun recognized the telegraph machine at a glance and was very worried. He had married Zhao Ping, would this thing implicate him?
Although he wasn't exactly an upright person and longed to leave the mountain village, he wasn't so heartless as to betray his country. He could still uphold that basic principle.
No, I must divorce Zhao Ping later.
Hearing that the lump of iron was evidence of treason, the villagers fled as if they had seen a ghost, their faces turning ashen.
The village chief might actually be a traitor; how terrifying.
"You said you didn't know that thing, but now you're saying it's a frame-up. Your story doesn't make sense, so you're the bad guy." Shishi put her hands on her hips. "Do you think I'm stupid?"
“Bad seed, bad seed!” the kid, obsessed with the new and good grandpa, chimed in. “He was holding that baby in the middle of the night.”
"Zhao Xiaoxiao, stop talking nonsense! Chen Li, take her back to the house! She's making a fool of herself!" The village chief's wife was all bark and no bite; if you looked closely, you could see her legs were trembling.
There were plenty of sharp-eyed foxes of all sizes in the area who could see right through her guilty conscience.
With witnesses and physical evidence, no matter how the village chief tries to deny it, his arrest is inevitable. When the team leader was about to dig up radishes, the village chief's wife grabbed his leg.
