Chapter 196 I accidentally fell
“I…I…”
Wei Tianwen's eyes were blurred due to the severe pain, and he looked at Tu Subo involuntarily, but was met with Tu Subo's cold gaze.
That look was like a sharp blade, piercing the softest part of the human heart.
Wei Tianwen suddenly felt a surge of fear.
His cracked lips trembled constantly, and in his terror, his earlier toughness had vanished into thin air. Seeing this, what else could the village chief not understand?
He spat with disgust, stood up angrily, and scolded: "Your whole family is full of bad bastards with bad behavior!"
Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei rushed to Tu Su's house in a rage, looking for trouble. They broke into Tu Su's yard, making a loud noise and accusing the Tu Su family of bad behavior and corrupting customs.
At that moment, the village chief, Old Man Li, was returning from another household in the village. Passing by Tu Su's house, he frowned upon seeing the situation. He hurried into the yard and shouted, "Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Wei, what are you doing? Making such a scene here is unbecoming!"
Mrs. Wei's eyes widened as she angrily said, "Village Chief, you've come just in time! We're here today to seek justice. That boy from the Tu Su family has such bad behavior and bullied our Wei Tianwen. How can we tolerate this?"
The village chief, Old Man Li, shook his head and sighed, "Mrs. Wei, you can't say such things. The Tusu family has always been honest and I've never heard of them bullying anyone. You're attacking them without any basis, which is really too much."
Unwilling to be outdone, Sister Wei shrieked, "Village Chief, what you said is wrong. We saw it with our own eyes. The son of the Tu Su family bullied our Wei Tianwen in public. Are you going to protect them?"
The village chief, Old Man Li, looked serious and said firmly, "Sister-in-law Wei, are you forcing me? As the village chief, I naturally have to uphold justice for the villagers. But your unreasonable behavior will only make things worse. I warn you, the Tu Su family is part of the village, you can't treat them like this."
Mrs. Wei was so angry that she was shaking all over. She said angrily, "Village Chief, you are clearly biased towards the Tu Su family. We are here today to seek an explanation. If you don't give us a satisfactory answer, we will not leave!"
At this time, the surrounding villagers gathered around and watched the farce. They talked about it and felt that the behavior of the Wei family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was too much, and accused them of being unreasonable.
Seeing this, the village chief, Old Man Li, knew that if things continued like this, things would only get worse. He decided to take tough measures and said to the villagers, "Everyone, you have seen the Wei family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law act so unreasonably. We can no longer tolerate them. Now, I ask for your help in carrying Wei Tianwen's mother and sister-in-law back to their home."
The villagers responded one after another, lifted the door panels, and prepared to carry Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei away.
When Mrs. Wei saw Tu Subo appear, her eyes widened and she rushed forward uncontrollably, pointing her finger at him and demanding, "Tu Subo, explain yourself! Is it you, or your family, who caused our Wei family to get into this dispute?"
Tu Subo frowned, feeling a bitterness rising in his heart at Sister Wei's accusation. He tried to calm himself down and slowly said, "Sister Wei, you misunderstood. Our Tu Su family has nothing to do with this matter."
"Misunderstanding? Do you think I'm stupid? If it weren't for your Tu Su family's obstruction, how could my Wei family have ended up in such a situation?" Mrs. Wei was very emotional, tears welling up in her eyes.
Tu Subo shook his head helplessly and was about to explain, but his wife Gu Yuexuan took the lead.
"Sister-in-law Wei, please listen to me." Gu Yuexuan gently took Sister-in-law Wei's hand and said calmly, "Our Tusu family has nothing to do with this matter. Moreover, we have been working hard to resolve this dispute and hope to bring peace to the villagers."
Sister Wei stared at Gu Yuexuan, her eyes revealing doubt and distrust. She looked at Tu Subo, then at Gu Yuexuan, as if weighing something.
At this time, the villagers gathered around and talked about it.
"Mrs. Wei, you also know that the Tu Su family has always been upright. They would not do such a thing." A villager persuaded.
"Yes, and Tu Subo has been helping our village. How could he harm your Wei family?" another villager echoed.
As Sister Wei listened to the villagers' words, her anger gradually subsided. But she was still unwilling to let Tu Subo off easily. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Then who caused my brother's injury?"
Tu Subo pondered for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law Wei, your brother's injury has nothing to do with us. But we are willing to help you find the real culprit and seek justice for your brother."
Mrs. Wei hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded. It was clear that further investigation wouldn't solve the problem. So, she turned and left, and the villagers dispersed.
Looking at Mrs. Wei's back, Tu Subo couldn't help but sigh in his heart: the human heart is unpredictable, and the world is unpredictable. He turned to look at Gu Yuexuan and found a glimmer of worry in her eyes.
Gu Yuexuan bent down and surveyed Wei Tianwen's injuries. Her brow furrowed, her eyes filled with worry and confusion. Wei Tianwen's arms were broken, bloodied and mangled, his condition extremely serious. She raised her head and looked at Tu Subo, her eyes filled with questioning questions.
Facing the villagers' accusations, Tu Subo's face showed a hint of embarrassment and helplessness. He tried his best to remain calm and explained, "Everyone has misunderstood. I didn't push Wei Tianwen. Wei Tianwen fell accidentally."
The villagers refused to accept this explanation and accused him, "Tu Subo, you're still trying to make excuses! Wei Tianwen is a hardworking man, how could he fall for no reason?"
Tu Subo sighed and looked at Gu Yuexuan, a plea for help flashing in his eyes. However, Gu Yuexuan chose to avoid the crowd and turned to walk towards the stable.
In the stable, Gu Yuexuan squatted against the door, feeling heavy in her heart. She looked at Wei Tianwen's injuries, puzzled, and didn't understand why things had turned out like this.
At this time, Tu Subo walked in. He looked at Gu Yuexuan and said in a heavy tone, "Xuanxuan, I know you may not believe it, but I really didn't push Wei Tianwen."
Gu Yuexuan looked up at him, her eyes full of confusion: "Then tell me, what is going on?"
Tu Subo sighed, sat down next to Gu Yuexuan, and began to tell her story: "Actually, I went to see Wei Tianwen this morning to discuss the village's farming plan. I waited at his house for a long time, but he didn't come out. I went to look for him, and ended up seeing him at the village entrance. He looked very tired. I asked him what was wrong, but he refused to tell me. I was worried about him, so I wanted to help him, but he suddenly fell down."
Gu Yuexuan listened to Tu Subo's explanation, and her doubts deepened. She looked at Tu Subo, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes: "You really didn't lie to me?"
Tu Subo looked at Gu Yuexuan and said firmly, "I swear to God, I really didn't lie to you."
At this moment, the villagers' voices sounded outside the door again. They were discussing Wei Tianwen's affairs, their tone full of anger and confusion.
