Village chief Gu knew that if this matter was not handled properly today, the Xiao family would be severely offended.
The main thing is that if the Xiao family reports to the police, it will become a problem for the girls in Taohua Village to get married in the future.
Village chief Gu originally thought that this matter should be resolved internally and it would be best not to make a big deal out of it.
But Fangcao's family obviously refused to cooperate. If this matter were to get out, who in the surrounding area would dare to marry a girl from Taohua Village?
If you want to marry a virtuous woman, then you should marry a virtuous woman. How can a girl from Taohua Village say such ugly words? Could she be a girl raised in a good family?
After much thought, Village Chief Gu still felt that this matter should not be made a big deal.
He could only look at Gu Tiesheng and said seriously, "Gu Tiesheng, I'll say this one last time. Hurry up and let Fangcao and Fangfang come to apologize to the Xiao family."
Gu Tiesheng twisted his neck and refused to apologize, instead he turned the tables.
"Village chief, don't think I don't know that your family has received benefits from the Xiao family. Now that something has happened, you all help the Xiao family. Aren't you just after the two pieces of silver that the Xiao family gave you? Let me tell you, you want to make money by following the Xiao family's ass, but I, Gu Tiesheng, don't want that."
The village chief was abandoned and fell backwards. "What the hell are you talking about, idiot?"
Gu Tiesheng, it would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned the village chief, but once he mentioned the village chief, the other villagers in Taohua Village would not help him.
An older man pointed at Gu Tiesheng and cursed, "You raised your daughter like this. Now she dares to say anything. I don't believe a little girl like her can know so much. It's obvious that you two didn't raise her well. Now you dare to slander the village chief. Today, I will ask the clan leader to open the family tree and remove your branch."
Another elder continued, "The village chief asked you to apologize to the Xiao family so that he could easily pass on this matter. Your good daughter, raised by Gutie, said such harsh words. If word spreads to the surrounding area, what will happen to the other girls in Taohua Village? How will they get married? How will the young men in Taohua Village find wives? How can we, the people of Taohua Village, hold our heads high when we go out? You really can't tell the difference between good and evil. Now you dare to speak to the village chief like this. You are simply disrespectful to your elders. Today, my third brother wants to open the ancestral hall, and I will be the first to agree."
Originally, some villagers felt a little sorry for Gutiesheng's family. After all, they were from the same village and didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
But now, after hearing the analysis of the two elders, more and more people stood behind the ancient village chief.
For a moment, behind Gu Tiesheng, there were only about ten people from their branch of the tribe.
When Gutiesheng saw that the village chief asked the villagers of Taohua Village to help them with just a few words, he became even angrier.
"We are a family born and raised in Taohua Village. How can you speak for outsiders? Didn't you see that my Fangcao was beaten so hard that her nose was bleeding?"
Village Chief Gu finally recovered from his shock. Upon hearing this, he said coldly, "She deserves it. These words are only said in Taohua Village. If she dared to say them in the capital, your daughter would probably be beaten to death in the street. How could she wait for us to come and seek justice here? Since you are ready to provoke others first, I think your family must have thought it through as well. Taohua Village can no longer keep you. Expel you from Taohua Village!"
The original idea of the masterminds was to lock Fangcao's family in the ancestral hall and let them reflect on their mistakes for a few days, but they didn't expect the village chief to expel them from the village as soon as he opened his mouth.
"I know you're thinking of our old friendship, but this isn't the first time the Gutiesheng family has done something like this. They've promised before that they won't bully their fellow villagers again. Since the Xiao family has chosen to settle in Taohua Village, there will likely be people from the Duke of Ying moving in in the future. The Gutiesheng family is already like this. Rather than waiting for distinguished guests to arrive and offend even more people, it's better to expel them from the village now to prevent them from bringing trouble to the entire village."
Although Village Chief Gu said this, Yun Ruoxi could tell that these words were deliberately said to their two best friends.
As for the purpose, it is nothing more than to make their two best friends soften their hearts and take the initiative to take over this matter.
Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue looked at each other, and she could understand the meaning in Xiaoxue's eyes.
If Fangcao and her family were let off easily this time, then if something serious happened again in the future, Village Chief Gu would still give them the advantage.
Over time, the Xiao family will always be the ones who suffer.
Because in the eyes of outsiders, the Xiao family is powerful and rich. Even if they are ordinary people now, they are much better off than ordinary villagers and common people.
Even if the Xiao family suffers a little loss, it will not be a big deal for them.
But why?
Why should the Xiao family, just because they are rich, be assumed to be deserving of injustice? Should they be merciful when they can?
This is not how moral kidnapping works!
Before Yun Ruoxi could say no, Xiao Jing's voice came from behind her.
"As for what Village Chief Gu wants to do with the villagers of Taohua Village, that's your Taohua Village's business. We, the Xiao family, can do whatever we want and won't be suppressed by anyone. As for settling down, even if there's no Taohua Village, there are other villages. Our Xiao family doesn't have to choose Taohua Village. If Lord Wang hadn't strongly recommended Taohua Village, do you think such a good thing would have happened to you?"
What Xiao Jing did not make clear was that when the drought came, no matter where the Xiao family and the Duke of England settled, they were willing to help the villagers.
But now it seems that Taohua Village is not that good, and Xiao Jing felt a little regretful for a moment.
When the village chief Gu heard this, he knew that this matter would be difficult to handle today.
"What are you talking about, Master Xiao? We will definitely handle this matter impartially."
No matter what the attitude of the ancient village chief is now, Xiao Jing's expression is indifferent, and he has long lost his previous enthusiasm and respect.
"That's your Taohua Village's business, you can just discuss it. We, the Xiao family, are still anxious to go to the town to report it to the authorities, so we won't bother you any more!"
After saying that, she winked at her two sons. Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan quickly stepped forward and picked up their two best friends sideways.
The clerk was also smart. He saw the Xiao family coming and saw the eldest young master carrying the eldest young lady home.
She cried and said, "Master, you must get a doctor to see Madam. She's pregnant and she was so angry that she couldn't even stand. If she hadn't held on with one breath, she would have collapsed now. Madam, you know, has never been treated like this before in the Duke of England's mansion. I'm afraid she'll have to stay in bed for the time being."
Wen Hua followed suit, "Second Young Master, the Madam was scolded so harshly by that country girl just now that I saw her coughing up blood from her handkerchief. Second Young Master, what should we do now?"
