Chapter 209 It's Your Own fault
The other party obeyed and pulled hard, and a chain reaction occurred on the wall as if it had exploded. Iron spike balls fell from above, and there was also a pile of unknown white powder.
Ma Yuanwai and his group had no time to dodge, and many of them were hit by the iron spike balls, their flesh and blood were all over the place. Many of them couldn't open their eyes because of the pain. Ma Yuanwai was no exception. In addition to being unable to open his eyes, he found that his body was inexplicably hot and itchy. He fell to the ground, rolling on the ground and screaming.
Ma Yujie and her husband happened to see this scene when they arrived. She was so scared that her face turned pale, but Liu Tiechui just felt happy.
The two men pushed through the crowd and stepped forward.
Ma Yujie was sad and angry. She looked at the villagers standing around fiercely and asked, "Who did it?"
Shen Ying stepped forward and said seriously, "Madam, none of us will do anything to them."
"That's right. They are the ones who are looking for trouble. They deserve it. What does it have to do with us?"
"Even if she's the town official's wife, you can't be unreasonable! This is too obvious of a bias!"
"Su Tai is so unlucky. Disaster strikes when she is just sitting at home!"
The villagers were talking at once and criticizing her. Ma Yujie felt ashamed, angry and aggrieved, and looked at Liu Tiechui with red eyes.
Liu Tiechui sighed and quickly sent someone to send Mr. Ma and his group to the town clinic. Then he said to Ma Yujie, "You go back and take a look. I will understand the situation here and I will treat everyone fairly and impartially."
"Husband, my father is injured so badly." Ma Yujie bit her lip and was about to cry. She knew what kind of person her father was. He must have been wrong in the first place, but now that he was like this, she couldn't bear to punish him any further.
Liu Tiechui shook his head seriously and signaled her with his eyes to calm down and go back.
After Ma Yujie was helped into the carriage by the maid, Liu Tiechui looked at the gate and wall of Shen Yi's house.
This was his first time here, and he didn't expect Shen Yi's family to be so magnificent. It seemed that the Shen family's financial situation was better than he thought. Such a family should not be offended easily.
With a clear idea in mind, Liu Tiechui asked someone to knock on the door.
The villagers watched for a while and couldn't help but remind him: "You have to shake the stakes, otherwise the people inside can't hear it."
Liu Tiechui was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and shook the wooden stake himself.
After a while, the gate really opened.
Su Tai looked at the group of people outside the door in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Liu Tiechui suddenly didn't know how to start.
Shen Ying stepped forward anxiously and said, "Mr. Ma from the town just brought some people to your house to cause trouble. They were planning to climb over the wall. Didn't you know?"
Su Tai took a look at the wall and the ground of her house, and suddenly realized, "No wonder I heard a noise just now, I thought it was the dog that knocked something over!"
Everyone: “.”
Liu Tiechui looked at Su Tai with an expression that was hard to describe, "Chen Su, there was such a big commotion outside just now, did you really not hear anything at all?"
Why doesn't he believe it!
Su Tai nodded and said innocently, "My son had a bad stomach yesterday and was upset all night. I was just resting with the two children in the backyard and I couldn't hear any noise in the front yard. What happened? Is someone injured?"
The villager nodded vigorously and told Su Tai what had happened.
Liu Tiechui found that Su Tai was not worried at all and became more curious about this family.
"Can I come in and sit down?"
Su Tai nodded slightly, "Please come in, town official."
Su Tai entertained them in the pergola in the yard, first with a bowl of strawberries, then a bowl of freshly picked grapes, grape juice cooled in well water, and a plate of cake and bread.
"Your Excellency, the town official, please use it."
When Liu Tiechui saw this table, he knew the strength of Shen Yi's family, and he became more polite to Su Tai, "Speaking of which, Master Shen and I hit it off right away. He helped me a lot. If you don't mind, I will call you my sister-in-law.
"It was my father-in-law who was to blame for what happened today. I came here as soon as I got the news, but I was still a step too late. Fortunately, nothing serious happened."
Su Tai shook her head seriously, "That can't be said. Mr. Ma and the others must have been seriously injured! Those iron spike balls were custom-made and very sharp. They could hurt people if they were not careful. It is very likely that there would be casualties if they fell from the wall. Add to that the special medicine powder, those people must have lost half their lives if they didn't die."
"So serious?" Liu Tiechui suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem and looked at the wall of Shen's house. "I wonder why Shen Yi installed such a dangerous thing on the wall?"
Su Tai looked at him with amusement, and said as a matter of course: "Of course it is to protect us! You have also seen how high our wall is. You really can't climb over it without some skills and tools. Why would you climb over my wall for no reason? There must be an ulterior motive. These means are just to prevent scoundrels and bad guys. It's fine if no one has any bad intentions, but if someone really wants to do so, they will only suffer.
With these things, I can rest assured to take care of the child even if Shen Yi is not at home, isn't that good?"
Liu Tiechui's mouth twitched slightly. How could he say no? But it was also true that his father-in-law was injured so badly. I was afraid that they would have to admit defeat this time.
He sighed inwardly and said, "This is a good idea. I came here to apologize to my troublesome father-in-law and sister-in-law. The reason why he is so angry and bothers you is because of those rumors. I don't know whether what my sister-in-law said is true or not, but my father-in-law is a stingy person who values money very much. In his eyes, what you said is ruining his wealth, so he was so angry that he lost his mind."
Su Tai sighed and shook her head, "Mr. Town Magistrate, do you also think that I shouldn't have said those words?"
Liu Tiechui did not answer.
Su Tai sneered and said, "First of all, I just popularized some knowledge about Ringo. What is true is true and cannot be false. What is false cannot be true. Besides, I have never denied the Ringo result from the beginning to the end. It just takes three or four years to wait.
From another perspective, it is a good thing that I have said these things in advance. If the apple-growing families have no harvest in autumn, what do you think they will do when they are angry? They will dig up the apple trees and then go to Mr. Ma's house to make trouble and demand compensation, right?
I said this in advance, so that even if everyone gets nothing in the autumn harvest this year, they won’t be so angry. At least everyone won’t really destroy the apple trees, and Mr. Ma can appease the people for three or four years, isn’t that good?”
Liu Tiechui suddenly realized and stood in awe of Su Tai. "My sister-in-law is right. We were judging others by our own standards. I will apologize to you again on behalf of my father-in-law."
Liu Tiechui stood up and bowed.
Su Tai slightly moved away, "Mr. Town Magistrate, you are too polite. I have told you everything. Please keep Mr. Ma under control and don't come to our house to cause trouble again. That wall is just the tip of the iceberg. We have many ways to entertain those "guests" who come with bad intentions. Of course, I don't want anyone to try it. After all, who can guarantee that no one will die? Don't you agree?"
