Upon hearing what the village head said, Qiu Laoda and the others instantly turned ashen-faced. Being expelled from the clan meant that even their survival was in question!
Nowadays, people live in groups; only in this way can they survive together in this chaotic world. Those who separate from their community are like lost migratory birds or lone wolves in a dark forest, surrounded by dangers and unable to sleep peacefully. This is why the original owner died of fear and anxiety after being abandoned by the villagers, and why Wu Chunhua and her son felt like adrift duckweed.
It's truly remarkable that they managed to get here alive!
If it weren't for Qin San Niang's cheat code, even if He Yingyuan was as intelligent as he was and Gu Qingshan was as brave as he was, he wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed. It would have been quite an achievement if he had just managed to save his own life!
One of the men knelt down with a thud and wept bitterly, “Clan elder, village head, this really isn’t our fault. My elder brother said something happened to my sister and asked us to come and give her courage, but we had no idea this had happened! You can’t drive us out!”
Seeing him like this, Suotou's other uncles also began to plead for him with tears streaming down their faces.
Qiu Laoda stared at his brothers, feeling the anger of betrayal!
These guys usually follow my lead, but now that something's happened, instead of thinking about how much they benefited from me, they immediately try to distance themselves from me. They're such ingrates!
However, now is not the time to act rashly. Being expelled from the tribe would be a devastating blow to him!
He quickly suppressed his anger, hurriedly knelt before the clan elder and the village head, and burst into tears.
“Clan elder, village head, I was wrong! I was just momentarily bewitched! It was him, Chen Guang'an from Shiligou. He came to me and said that my sister had been poisoned, but not fatally, and that he could use this to extort money from that rich family!”
He also said that the family had plenty of money, enough to build a big brick house, and giving them several dozen taels of silver would be no problem! I thought my sister would be alright, so I brought a few brothers with me!
Village head, village head! I really didn't know that my sister was in critical condition. She raised us all since we were little, how could we not think of her kindness?
That croton oil must have been given to me by that brat Chen Guang'an! I've been framed! You have to do justice for me!
Hearing him say that, Qin San Niang believed him to a large extent. Although Qiu Laoda was not a good person either, Qiu Family Village was quite a distance away from here. It was impossible for him to have planned everything so quickly. Chen Guang'an must be the instigator!
Chen Guang'an and Liu Meixiang were not happy about it!
Liu Meixiang pointed at the other person's nose and cursed, "Don't make false accusations! You're just trying to shift the blame onto someone else with a few words? Look at your pointy face, you're obviously not a good person!"
That's your older sister! She's dying and you don't care. What kind of good person are you? My husband came to help, but someone with ulterior motives saw it! They want us to take the blame? No way! I'd say you were the one who instigated my husband!"
Liu Meixiang is indeed a seasoned shrew. Although she is not in a good position at the moment, she is still clear-headed. What she said makes sense. However, it is nothing more than dogs fighting each other!
The matter is now clear; it has nothing to do with Qin San Niang and the others. It was Chen Guang An and Qiu Lao Da who were behind it.
Clearly, the village head of Qiujiazhuang didn't want to discuss these matters here; it would be embarrassing! He flicked his arm and said coldly,
"The matter of Shiligou will naturally be handled by Chen Lizheng. But you, who knows how many outrageous things you've done these past few years? Do I need to list them all out for you?! Get back here right now! Don't embarrass yourself here!"
So this Boss Qiu is a repeat offender! No wonder his family is about to expel him from the clan; they must have reached their breaking point! It's just that some shameful things are best left unsaid to outsiders!
Qiu Laoda's eyes were sinister as he stared at Qin Sanniang for a moment, then he said loudly to Chen Sheng, "Chen Lizheng, this was definitely done by Chen Guang'an. Before the New Year, he got a lot of croton seeds from somewhere and hid them in his stove. He told me this himself!"
He even said he'd give your grandson some croton oil. His son and your grandson don't get along, and the kids in the village won't play with his son because of this. He's really angry about it!
If you don't believe me, go search his house; you'll definitely find croton seeds!
After saying that, Qiu Laoda glanced smugly at Chen Guang'an and his wife, while Liu Meixiang spat at him.
"Search and search, did you see any croton seeds in my house? Besides, why would we have that stuff in our house? There isn't even a single bean!"
What a joke! If they had the money to buy croton seeds, would they be drinking wild vegetable porridge every day? She'd never seen any croton seeds.
In fact, Liu Meixiang, who never cleans, would have no idea what was kept in the nooks and crannies of her house.
Chen Guang'an had something to hide; his face turned red, then black, then white, his facial expressions changing in a fascinating way!
That stupid woman, she doesn't even know to go home and get ready! He's all tied up now, how could he possibly escape? Shuanzi is at home, but that kid knows absolutely nothing!
"You filthy slut, you actually dared to scheme against my precious grandson!! I'll beat you to death!" The village headwoman, Wang, was like a rabid hen, grabbing a broom and lashing out at Chen Guang'an and Liu Meixiang. Liu Meixiang managed to fight back, muttering that it was all a misunderstanding, that Qiu Laoda was just spouting nonsense, how could she believe him!?
Chen Guang'an was in a terrible state, completely unable to defend himself. His face was burning from the slaps, and he could only hunch over, wishing he could disappear into the ground!
Hearing those pitiful cries of pain, the surrounding villagers were unwilling to intervene. These two were truly despicable! Besides, this time they had schemed against the village head's beloved grandson, the boy who was the apple of his wife's eye. They had really offended him thoroughly this time!
Seeing his wife beating the two men until they cried out in pain, Chen Sheng did not stop her.
After hearing what Boss Qiu said, he believed it completely!
If Chen Guang'an hadn't revealed it himself, outsiders would never have known that Shuanzi had a grudge against his grandson, nor would they have known that the village children didn't want to play with his son!
The whole croton seed thing was most likely done by Chen Guang'an! How dare he set his sights on our own territory? He's simply overestimating himself!
Chen Jincai was equally angry. He and Gu Qingshan had just captured Chen Guang'an, and he was thinking about whether he could plead for him, since they were from the same village and clan, even though Chen Guang'an was usually a scoundrel.
Unbelievable! This man actually tried to harm his own precious son! It's absolutely intolerable! If his mother hadn't been doing it, he would have gone over and kicked him a few times to vent his anger!
