"Village chief, you've arrived. Quickly, give this old woman your opinion."
My eldest son, instigated by his wife, actually conspired with his two unfilial grandsons to swindle money from this old woman.
That's two hundred yuan! My old lady's life savings for her funeral!
You have to stand up for me today!
If my eldest son doesn't return my two hundred yuan today, I'm going to die.
I'm staying here today, eating, drinking, and staying for free.
Wang shouted at the top of her lungs while pounding the ground with her hands, looking as if she were crying so hard that the sky would collapse.
Village chief Zhou Jianguo frowned and coughed twice, "Aunt Wang, can't you talk things out? At your age, what kind of behavior is it to sit on the ground and throw a tantrum?"
Zhou Jianguo was also feeling annoyed. This Wang was usually shrewish and difficult to deal with, and today's incident was even more troublesome.
"Aunt Wang, get up quickly!"
Look, the villagers are all watching!
You may not care about your reputation, but your precious grandson Erbao certainly does!
If Erbao brought his classmates from the city to visit, what do you think his classmates would think?
Hao Qiumei said with a smile, but there was a hint of mockery in that smile.
Upon hearing this, Li Hehua's heart tightened, and she hurriedly went to help her mother-in-law. "Mother, Sister Qiumei is right. Let's talk things out properly and discuss things clearly. We can't let Tianbao be smeared."
You should get up!
"Isn't the village chief standing up for us?"
What Li Hehua feared most was that it would have a negative impact on her beloved son.
Her son is destined for great things, and she can't let anyone or anything affect him.
I'll have to marry a city girl someday!
It's not just his eldest son who can marry a city wife; his second son can too.
At first, Wang hesitated a little, but after her daughter-in-law said that, and thinking of her beloved grandson Tianbao, she reluctantly stood up.
But he kept shouting, "Village chief, tell me how to resolve this!"
Anyway, as the village chief, you can't show favoritism to any one person.
We are all villagers of Zizhu Village.
They certainly can't bully an old woman like me who's been a widow for many years.
Wang acted like she was taking advantage of her age, as if you couldn't do anything about it.
"Aunt Wang, your third son and his wife have already spoken to me about this."
I'm here to solve the problem!
What are you yelling about?
At such an advanced age, can't you set a good example?
Stay quietly to the side while I ask you what's going on.
If you continue acting like this, I'm not going to care anymore.
Village chief Zhou Jianguo's voice was serious and warning, and his sharp eyes silenced Wang Shi instantly.
"Ping An, is your leg really healed?" the village chief asked Yu Ping An with concern.
Regardless of whether he was faking it before, it's a good thing that his leg is healed now, at least he doesn't have to worry about not being able to find a wife.
"Uncle Zhou, my leg is completely healed."
As Yu Pingan spoke, he took a few steps in front of everyone.
"Wow, it really is better! Your leg is so strong!"
Zhou Jianguo asked again.
These are all questions that must be asked, even if it's just an act, otherwise the Wang family will keep pressing the issue.
"I owe this to the old traditional Chinese medicine doctor introduced by my brother's mother-in-law. After a few needles, I was able to get out of bed and walk again."
I've been practicing walking at home for the past two days, and I can finally walk like a normal person.
Yu Pingan said with a grateful look in his eyes.
"Yu Sanzhu, how come this is completely different from what you and your wife told me?"
Didn't you two say that the two brothers lied to you, saying that Ping An's leg wasn't actually injured?
"They said Cheng Yuan and the others lied to you to try and separate the family property. What exactly happened?"
Village chief Zhou Jianguo turned his gaze to Yu Sanzhu, his eyes seeming to see right through him.
Yu Sanzhu stammered, cold sweat beading on his forehead. Seeing the warning look in his nephew Cheng Yuan's eyes, he couldn't utter a single word.
Seeing this, Li Hehua angrily cursed, "Useless good-for-nothing."
At this moment, murmurs began to circulate among the crowd.
"This old couple is outrageous! How could they frame their own nephew like that?"
"Exactly, exactly, it just doesn't look right on a regular basis."
"Everyone saw it before, Ping An's leg was so badly injured, how could it be fake?"
"Fortunately, Cheng Yuan's mother-in-law is the director of surgery at the county hospital and knows an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor, which saved Ping An's leg."
"It looks like the Yu family is about to have good luck."
Everyone was talking about it, but no one doubted that they were faking it.
Only the village chief and his wife understood the strangeness of the matter, but it was no wonder they were wrong; it was just that Wang and her family had gone too far.
Li Hehua's face turned very ugly when she heard these comments.
She glared at the people who were talking, then turned to the village chief and said, "Village chief, we can't just listen to their side of the story."
Who knows if this leg was actually injured before? Maybe my two nephews conspired to do it.
Yu Chengyuan sneered and said, "Li Hehua, what you said is going too far."
When my brother was carried back, his legs were bandaged and blood was seeping out. He was in so much pain that he could hardly speak.
Everyone saw what happened back then, how can you make such baseless accusations, saying that my brother and I colluded!
My brother's foreman and coworkers were all there!
"But I'm so curious, isn't my brother your nephew?"
From what you're saying, you don't want my brother's leg to get better?
