Zhang Guilan immediately exploded upon hearing this, her entire face contorted as she yelled at the top of her lungs, "What the hell is wrong with my Xiuzhu? It's better to believe it than not. She was just being considerate of everyone else, so we had to be extra cautious. Now that the misunderstanding is resolved, it's good. What's her fault? Besides, you guys are fine."
"Aunt, you are really good at talking nonsense. Don't you know that rumors can kill people?" Yang Liu looked at her and snorted.
"If the police hadn't come and cleared up the misunderstanding in time, my husband would have been burdened with a bad reputation today. How would he and my family live in the future? You think it's too easy to cover up the harm we suffered today with just a few words."
"Besides, I just said this in front of all the villagers. Those who spread rumors and accuse others with ulterior motives must be severely punished. Otherwise, this kind of evil will spread in the village and make the whole village a mess."
As soon as Yang Liu finished speaking, Li Dazui was the first one in the crowd to raise his hand and agree, shouting, "That's right, we can't just let those who spread rumors and slander others go."
Zhang Guilan was so angry that if there weren't so many people around, she would have rushed over and slapped Li Dazui a few times, telling her to talk nonsense.
It’s none of her business. Why should she mind her own business?
Yao Caiying also joined in the hype, shouting louder than the last, so loud that it immediately caused an uproar.
Who made Zhang Guilan act so arrogant in the village? She relied on the fact that her husband was the secretary and looked down on everyone. Many people had opinions about her. Now that they had the chance, they had to teach her a lesson to prevent her from causing trouble outside.
Tian Shouyi glared at his old woman again. He had almost suppressed the matter just now, but she kept saying something. Now it was obvious that he had offended everyone. Even if he was the secretary, he could not openly act in favoritism and commit fraud.
He suppressed his anger and hurried over to explain to Yang Liu in a low voice, "Girl, your aunt always speaks without thinking. Please be magnanimous and forgive the little mistakes. Tell me how to calm down, and I will do it."
Yang Liu said loudly, "Uncle, you make it seem like I'm picking on you. I just made those bold statements in front of everyone. People always have to pay for their mistakes, don't you agree?"
Seeing that this girl was not moved by any persuasion, Tian Shouyi knew that if he didn't bleed today, he would probably not be able to get through this matter.
Finally, he waved his hand and said, "Originally, each family was only going to send two workers to build the canal. Starting tomorrow, our entire family, except for the children, will help until the canal is completed."
Although Yang Liu did not go to the construction site, she knew how hard this job was when she came home every day and saw her parents were so tired that they could not even straighten their backs. Now that the secretary had given her a way out, she would definitely take it.
She still understands the principle that the people should not fight against the officials.
"Girl, are you satisfied now?"
Yang Liu nodded. "It's okay, but Tian Xiuzhu, as a teacher, not only doesn't set a good example and be strict with herself, but she also secretly destroys people's reputations. Someone like her who doesn't seek truth from facts is not worthy of being a teacher. She's not going to teach the children bad things. What do you think?"
Zhang Guilan was already furious enough because she had suffered a loss in silence. Seeing that the little bitch was still holding her Xiuzhu, she rushed out of the crowd, baring her teeth and raising her hands to pull the person's hair. However, as soon as she got close, Yang Liu slapped her in the face, making her feel dumb.
"You little bitch, how dare you hit me." She covered her face and shouted in disbelief.
"Who said I hit you? I was acting in self-defense. Everyone present can testify for me."
"Uncle, if you don't give me an explanation today, I'll go straight to the commune leaders tomorrow to seek justice. My man clearly worked for the country, but in the end he was almost mistaken for a spy. I want to ask, is this how they treat meritorious officials?"
"Girl, we're all from the same village. Why bother raising this trivial matter and causing the leaders so much worry?" Tian Shouyi hurriedly stopped her. "Don't worry, I'll do as you say."
"Dad, I..."
Tian Xiuzhu was about to say something when Tian Shouyi stopped her with a glare.
Seeing that the matter was resolved satisfactorily, Yang Liu put away the kitchen knife and put it back on his waist.
Seeing her movements were as smooth as flowing water, Wei Donglai stared at her from the side, his eyes kept glancing at Chu Yue, and he was deeply worried about his third leg.
He patted Chu Yue's shoulder and said sympathetically, "Brother, it must be hard to have such a tigress at home. It's okay. If you have nowhere to vent your sorrow, you can come and tell me. I promise I won't make fun of you."
Chu Yue took his hand away and rolled his eyes at him, looking at him as if he were an idiot. He smiled with the corners of his lips raised and said, "My wife is usually very gentle to me."
Wei Donglai: “…”
Well, he sees through this kind of thing but doesn't say it out loud.
Seeing Chu Yue and Wang Xiangqian both walking towards her, Yang Liu quickly put on a gentle and well-behaved look and said with a smile, "Uncle Wang, I'm usually very quiet. Don't be scared by me."
Wang Xiangqian put his hand on the corner of his mouth and smiled silently. He looked at the young man next to him and finally explained: "It doesn't matter whether other people are scared or not. As long as Xiao Chu is not scared, it's fine, right?"
Yang Liu glared at the person who was smiling softly and said through gritted teeth, "He dares?"
The couple thanked Wang Xiangqian and the police officers before going home.
Li Qiuhuo was also very anxious when she heard what happened just now, but she twisted her ankle while working today, so she didn't join in the fun.
Seeing them return safely, he burst into tears of joy. He took Yang Liu's hand and asked, "Liu'er, what happened? Are you all okay?"
"It's okay, we're fine."
"Second sister, I have prepared dinner, and you are back as expected." Yang Bai came out of the kitchen and said with a smile.
Yang Liu rubbed his head, and then the family had dinner.
After washing up in the evening, Yang Liu returned to her room and sat on the edge of the bed. Seeing someone trying to come over, she pointed at him and told him to stand there obediently, as if she was going to settle the score later.
"You could have handled it yourself just now, so why did you just watch me go by without saying a word and let me jump around like a clown?"
Chu Yue touched his nose. His wife was so smart that she figured it out immediately. She was really hard to fool.
"Liu Liu, I just like to see you protecting me and being so brave and fearless as to risk your life for me."
She is like a little sun, giving him endless energy.
