"Do you have any evidence for that?"
After a moment of silence, Village Chief Wu asked.
"Evidence? What evidence? I am the evidence!" Niu Li said. "The family stone is also evidence! Lu Qingyan and a group of brothers broke into our house and stole our supplies. We saw it with our own eyes!"
Niu Jiashi said on the side: "That's right! We are the parties involved, and we are the evidence!"
Speaking of this matter, the Lu family would not admit it. Lu's mother said, "Niu Li, you say you are the evidence. Ha, I also say I am the evidence, which can prove that none of us went to your house to steal things!"
The people from the Lu family echoed: "That's right!"
Then, we started arguing again, one after another.
Village Chief Wu had a headache on his face and continued, "In this kind of matter, neither of you can serve as a witness."
Then he looked at the onlookers and asked, "Did anyone see the Lu family go to the Niu family to steal things?"
Everyone looked at each other, shook their heads, and said they didn't see it.
Someone said: "It was so cold at that time, who would go out for no reason?"
"that is!"
"I didn't see it anyway,"
"Neither have I seen it."
…
Really, not many people saw what happened that day.
The weather was too cold and everyone was staying at home. How could they know what happened in the Niu family?
Listening to what everyone was saying, Village Chief Wu looked at Niu Li and said, "Niu Li, look, no one saw it. I can't make a decision for you based on your own words. Otherwise, if anyone sues based on their own words and one-sided accounts, wouldn't that just be chaos?"
Lu's mother said, "That's right!"
Niu Li didn't get the upper hand in this matter, so she had no choice but to bring the topic back to Lu Qingyan. "Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about Lu Qingyan! Lu Qinshi, quickly call your daughter out and let her go home with us! If you insist on not letting her go home with us, don't blame us for divorcing her in public!"
Niu Jiashi stood aside, his eyes fierce, "Yes, let her come out and go home with us!"
Both Mr. and Mrs. Lu looked solemn.
In arguing with the Niu family, they were indeed not in the right and were in a passive position.
"Old man, what should we do?" Lu's mother asked Lu's father in a low voice.
Father Lu said, "How about we go back and talk to Qingyan and see what she thinks?"
Mother Lu said, "Then you deal with them outside. I'll go talk to Qingyan."
Having said that, he turned and walked into the yard.
Seeing that Lu's mother was about to leave, Niu Li called out from behind, "Hey, Lu Qinshi, where are you going?"
Father Lu glared at him and said, "Why are you yelling? Aren't I still here?"
Mother Lu returned to the house.
Lu Qingyan is warming herself by the fire.
The eldest brother, second brother, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and others were also there.
They didn't go out to see the "excitement" outside.
Mother Lu told them about the situation outside and looked at her daughter, "Qingyan, you have to make a decision about this matter. Either go back with them, or... let them divorce you."
Lu Qingyan frowned, "Can't we just get a divorce?"
Mother Lu sighed. She had originally planned to rely on the Lu family's numerical advantage to intimidate the Niu family into a divorce. However, it seemed that this method wasn't going to work. Furthermore, there were so many people watching from the outside, many of whom were on the Niu family's side, putting them in a difficult position. "Divorce... it's not that easy..."
Lu Qingyan curled her lips and said, "I don't want to go back with them."
If she went back with them, the Niu family mother and son would not know how to treat her.
In the past, if Niu Jiashi had not participated, she would not be afraid of Niu Li, but now, after the last incident, she no longer expected Niu Jiashi to stand on her side.
If the mother and son of the Niu family unite, she will probably have a miserable life if she returns.
The eldest sister-in-law said, "Qingyan, why don't you go back with them first? You're not in the right to come back. It's understandable that they want you to go back. The villagers are watching. If you don't go back with them, they will lose face. If they really divorce you, what will you do in the future?"
The second sister-in-law also said, "Yes, Qingyan, you should go back with them first. We can talk about the divorce later. In short, you can't let them divorce you. If they divorce you, your future life... not only you, but also our family. If our married daughter is divorced, how will the people in the village look upon us?"
The two sisters-in-law were naturally dissatisfied because the sister-in-law had stayed at home for so long.
After all, in their eyes, the sister-in-law is already married and can no longer be considered a member of the family.
What does it matter if an outsider lives in their house all day?
Of course, there are some things they can't say openly.
Lu Qingyan remained silent.
I don’t know what he was thinking.
The eldest brother spoke up, "Qingyan, you need to think this through carefully. This concerns you as well as our family. If we don't handle this properly, I'm afraid that neither you nor our family will gain any benefits. We may even end up with a bad reputation and be scorned by the villagers behind our backs."
The second brother also said: "That's right, this matter is both your business and not just your business."
Mother Lu said, "Qingyan, that's what I think. You should go back with them first. We can talk about the future later. Let's solve this problem today first."
It is obvious that today's trouble can only be solved if my daughter goes back with the Niu family.
"Okay, I'll go back with them."
Lu Qingyan was silent for a long time and finally spoke.
Hearing this, Lu's mother couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, Lu Qingyan and Lu's mother came outside.
