Jiang Cheng walked back home and went to the village chief's house with Xu Sanniang.
When the two arrived at the village chief's house, Village Chief Song, also known as Song Bo, was about to go out and happened to meet Jiang Cheng and Xu Sanniang who came to look for him.
"Sanniang, what's wrong?" Song Bo asked when he saw Xu Sanniang coming over angrily.
Next to him should be Tingzhi’s new husband.
Song Bo and Song Tao are somewhat close, they are cousins. Song Tingzhi should call him uncle. Since Song Tao fell ill, Song Bo has been giving money to the Song family openly and secretly, which made the Song family live better in those years.
Xu Sanniang told Song Bo the whole story. After listening, Song Bo was no longer in a hurry to leave, and went with them to Qian Pozi's house.
Along the way, the villagers saw Xu Sanniang leading the village chief in a hurry, with Jiang Cheng following behind. Many people who had nothing to do followed them to see what was going on.
When she arrived at Mrs. Qian's house, Xu Sanniang pushed the door open and walked in.
After a few people went in, they found Zhang Ermei hiding behind Mrs. Qian and crying.
"Hey, Village Chief Song, why are you here?" Mrs. Qian smiled apologetically. Seeing that the village chief was really called over by Jiang Cheng and the others, she blamed Zhang Ermei in her heart, but did not show it on her face.
"Don't you know why the village chief is here? Even if you don't know, your daughter should know!" Xu Sanniang didn't look at Qian Pozi's wrinkled face, nor did she care about her pretense.
"What the hell did my second sister do that's worth the village chief making a trip?" Mrs. Qian played deaf and dumb, as she couldn't produce any evidence anyway.
"Zhang Ermei wants to kill my Chengcheng. She almost pushed Chengcheng into the river before!" Xu Sanniang was too lazy to talk nonsense with Mrs. Qian and directly stated her purpose.
"You said my second sister wanted to push Jiang Cheng, so why don't you show me the evidence? Besides, you said my second sister wanted to push Jiang Cheng down, but she didn't succeed!"
Mrs. Qian seized the loophole in Xu Sanniang's words and spoke forcefully.
"What you said, does not achieving anything mean that she has no intention to harm others?" Xu Sanniang was so angry that she wanted to strangle this scoundrel to death.
"Okay! Zhang Ermei, tell me, did you have the intention to push anyone?" Song Bo saw Xu Sanniang was about to fight with Qian Pozi, and hurried out to stop them.
He asked Zhang Ermei directly.
“I…I…”
Zhang Ermei was already frightened by the river, and now seeing Song Bo's cold face, she was even more frightened and could not speak clearly.
"What do you mean? You scared my second sister! Village chief, you can't take sides just because the Song family is related to you! You don't have any evidence to say that my second sister pushed Jiang Cheng!"
Mrs. Qian protected Zhang Ermei behind her, fearing that she would say something detrimental to her family.
"You..." Song Bo was shut up by Mrs. Qian. What a shrew she was. So he just asked her as usual how they were related as relatives.
"Who said there is no evidence!" Jiang Cheng said suddenly.
"The evidence is me!"
After listening for so long, He Xiaomi finally understood. It turned out that the Qian family felt that if things were not done, it meant that the work was not done.
After Jiang Cheng started talking, He Xiaomi walked out very consciously.
"He Xiaomi? Why are you here to join in the fun instead of being at home with your mother?" When Mrs. Qian saw that it was He Xiaomi who came out, she was very confused. When did he and Jiang Cheng become so close?
He Xiaomi's mother wasn't in good health, and his father loved gambling, but he wasn't very good at it and always lost. Any money the family had was swindled away by his father, leaving He Xiaomi with only odd jobs to support himself and his mother. As for his father, He Xiaomi was completely disappointed in him.
"My mother is fine at home, why can't I come here!" He Xiaomi raised her chin, "Besides, I'm a witness! I saw Zhang Ermei trying to push Jiang Cheng down with my own eyes, and I stopped her, so she didn't succeed!"
He Xiaomi told the whole story out loud so that the onlookers could listen and see who was right and who was wrong.
"Zhang Ermei usually looks fine, why is she like this?"
"Yeah, could it be that she wants to kill Jiang Cheng and become Song Tingzhi's woman?"
“No way!”
The onlookers watched the excitement and began to speculate. They had seen Zhang Ermei chasing Song Tingzhi before, thinking that she liked him. They had thought that Song Tingzhi would stop being so affectionate after getting married, but it turned out that he was still the same, even more vicious.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Jiang Cheng with even more pity.
"You are all talking nonsense!" Zhang Ermei was no longer afraid after listening to the villagers' speculations, and shouted like crazy.
"They're in cahoots. They planned this in advance and wanted to frame me. Yes! They're the ones who framed me. How could I possibly do such a thing? It's all your fault! You were the one who wanted to frame me!"
Zhang Ermei pointed at Jiang Cheng like crazy. She felt that if Jiang Cheng had not appeared suddenly, she would be Song Tingzhi's legitimate wife. It was all because of Jiang Cheng!
"Zhang Ermei, why are you crazy?" Song Bo was frightened by Zhang Ermei's expression and quickly stopped her.
"I'm not crazy! You are all in the same group and want to harm me!" Zhang Ermei shouted regardless.
"Second sister! Second sister! Are you okay?" Mrs. Qian was scared to death when she saw her daughter's crazy look.
"What else do you want? Do you have to force my daughter to death?" Mrs. Qian cried.
For a moment, the scene was in chaos.
"Sanniang, what do you think we should do?" Song Bo also felt a headache when he saw this scene. Mrs. Qian's family was too crazy.
"Are we just going to let her go like this?" Xu Sanniang felt unsatisfied. The whole family was pretending to be crazy and stupid, and there was nothing she could do now.
"Mom, this is the only way now. If they want to pretend to be crazy, let them do so. We still have a long way to go!" Jiang Cheng came over to persuade her.
He knew that it was impossible to beat Zhang Ermei to death with a stick today. Everyone around was watching the fun, and this matter would have no result. If it continued like this, it would not be good for the reputation of the Song family.
"Okay then, I'll listen to you." Xu Sanniang said reluctantly.
"Let's leave it at that for now, Uncle Song, thank you for your help." Jiang Cheng said.
"No trouble!" Song Bo waved his hand, turned around and said to the two people who were pretending to be crazy on the ground, "Let's put this matter aside for now. If the same thing happens again in the future, I will personally send Zhang Ermei to the government office!"
After Song Bo finished his harsh words, he left because he had other things to do. The onlookers saw that the village chief had left and there was nothing exciting to watch, so they also dispersed.
He Xiaomi was anxious to go back to see his mother, so he went back first.
Everyone had left, leaving only Jiang Cheng, Xu Sanniang, and Qian Pozi and her daughter.
"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. Zhang Ermei, you got away with it this time by pretending to be crazy, but what about next time? You'd better keep your mind clear. I'm not a good person!"
After Jiang Cheng finished his harsh words, he pulled Xu Sanniang back without caring what the two people on the ground thought.
