The village head looked at the scene inside, frowned, and asked, "What exactly is going on?"
Ganli sneered, too lazy to reply.
She had long suspected that this village head was no good person. When her older brother was arrested last time, this village head intervened, most likely because he had received benefits from the Zhao family.
As expected, when Master Zhao saw the village head, he was not afraid at all; instead, he hurriedly went up to him and cried out:
"That wretched woman sold the prescription she gave me to someone else, causing me huge losses! Now she not only refuses to admit her mistake, but she's also distorting the truth and ruining my reputation. Village head, you have to stand up for me!"
The village head usually didn't take any benefits from the Zhao family, but he came over because he heard that Master Zhao had a conflict with Gan Li. He rushed over to help Master Zhao settle the matter and then take the opportunity to get some benefits.
Sure enough, after hearing what Master Zhao had said, he didn't bother asking anyone else and immediately raised his eyebrows:
"Is this really true? If so, our town will not tolerate such a dishonest and morally reprehensible person!"
As he spoke, he turned to look at Gan Li and said sternly, "If you admit your mistake now and compensate Master Zhao for his losses, I, the village head, can give you another chance!"
"Compensation? What compensation?"
Gan Li, as if she had heard a funny joke, pointed at the mess at Shiweitian and said, "They were the ones who smashed my shop first, so why should I apologize and pay compensation?"
The village head said sternly, "Master Zhao is a well-known philanthropist in our town. Would he smash your shop for no reason? You must have been in the wrong first!"
Gan Li already knew that he was in cahoots with the man surnamed Zhao, so she didn't bother arguing with him: "Say what you will, I did nothing wrong, I will not apologize, and I will not pay any money."
Li Zheng was humiliated in front of so many people, his face flushed with shame, and he hated the woman who had made him lose face even more!
He sneered and said, "I didn't expect there to be someone like you in this town who doesn't know the rules. In that case, I'll teach you a lesson today!"
Having said that, he gestured for his men to step forward: "Take her away!"
The Gan family members were all anxious when they saw this.
Grandma Gan hugged her daughter tightly, looking as if she would kill Gan Li if she wanted to catch her.
Zhao shoved her daughter, Gan Qiao, into the backyard, then grabbed a broom and rushed over, yelling, "Why are you arresting people? Why are you arresting people? We haven't done anything wrong! Let's see who dares to touch my sister!"
The men of the Gan family glared angrily and stood protectively in front of the women, with even Gan Quan clenching his fists, looking ready to fight to the death.
"You troublemakers! You troublemakers! Arrest them all!" The village headman was so enraged by their audacity that he lost all reason and ordered his men to arrest them.
The two sides were deadlocked and it looked like they were about to fight again when suddenly a loud gong and drum sound came from outside the food stalls.
