"Sister Cai, quickly have someone release my man!" Sister Cai shouted.
"Shut up." Cai Damei's reply was to slap her twice. She then ordered someone to restrain Cai Hua so as not to delay the bone-collecting process.
Surrounded by villagers from the Li family, the bones were collected, the coffin lid was closed, and the body was carried away.
Tong Mo arranged for people to fill in the remaining large pit. Then, he led a group to escort Cai Damei and Ye Yunniang away.
The villagers of Li's family dared not make a move and just watched from the sidelines.
Just as the carriage was about to leave Lijia Village, a man rushed out, knelt down in front of the carriage, and kowtowed repeatedly.
Thump thump thump...
Fortunately, the coachman was skilled and managed to bring the carriage back into control in time.
"what are you up to?"
"Li Nan did it all for me, he didn't mean to hurt you. If you want to arrest someone, arrest me. Please spare him." The young woman, Xie Lanhua, the girl Li Nan liked, finished speaking and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Get up," Cai Damei said, but Xie Lanhua ignored her and continued kowtowing.
"Get up," Cai Damei emphasized.
Xie Lanhua suddenly felt a force controlling her, preventing her from kneeling down.
Xie Lanhua stood up involuntarily.
"Don't go too far." The others were unaware, but Ye Yunniang noticed Tong Mo's hand movements and spoke up.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Ye Yunniang didn't believe Tong Mo's words at all.
She was acutely aware of how reckless the person in front of her was.
Sure enough, the next second, Xie Lanhua screamed. Looking back, Xie Lanhua was already in mid-air.
"ah--"
"Mother, save me!"
"Run! Li Min has appeared!"
"It's haunted."
"Don't push me, I'm going to fall."
"Help!"
...
The villagers of Lijia Village were so frightened that they scattered and ran away.
Ye Yunniang looked at Tong Mo speechlessly.
Tong Mo shrugged at Ye Yunniang, "They're just too cowardly." It had nothing to do with him.
Ye Yunniang immediately recognized Xie Lanhua, who was kowtowing, as the young woman who had taken the beating for her that day.
Ye Yunniang lowered her voice and explained the situation to Cai Damei.
Upon hearing this, Cai Damei's gaze towards Xie Lanhua became even warmer.
"I want to thank you for saving my daughter-in-law from being beaten." Cai Damei clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment, and sincerely expressed her thanks.
“Li,” Xie Lanhua wanted to speak up and plead for Li Nan.
"The Li family will remember your kindness. But we will never forget the harm Li Nan did to our family."
