"What are you saying?" Sister-in-law Huang was furious. "Didn't you swear that Lai Zi stole it? Now you're blaming us. If it weren't for you, would the village have suffered such a great calamity?"
"What a joke! You don't know who I am, so why would you believe me so easily?" Liao sneered. "In the end, you all hate that wolf cub just like me, and you just don't want to contribute that share of food."
These words caused everyone's expression to change drastically.
Because my thoughts were exposed!
"Don't spout this nonsense," Sister-in-law Huang said sharply. "If it weren't for your misleading words back then, no matter how much we cared about the food, we wouldn't have slandered that scoundrel, and none of this mess would have happened in our family."
And you don't have to live in constant fear for so many years; just thinking about it is awful.
"That's right," the clan chief's wife couldn't help but chime in, "She's vicious herself, yet she tries to pin the blame on the head of the family. Liao Chunhua, have you no shame?"
Idiot!
Jiang Nuan thought the clan chief's wife had been beaten senseless.
Why was he so eager to drag the matter into his own hands, as if he was afraid Liao Chunhua wouldn't have thought of it?
Sure enough, before Jiang Nuan could even shake her head, she heard Liao Shi accuse her with a look of grief and indignation, "I wronged him? Bullshit!"
"My tricks might fool brainless old women like you, but could they possibly fool a shrewd man like Huang Shicheng? He clearly has ulterior motives and wants to use me..."
"Liao," the Huang clan chief rebuked with a livid face, "if you continue to talk nonsense, don't blame me for making Huang Sheng divorce you."
Upon hearing the news, he rushed back immediately, but still didn't have time, and Liao Chunhua revealed all of this.
Noticing the subtle gazes from everyone, Chief Huang felt like killing Liao.
“You lot,” the clan chief Huang said, pointing at Huang Si’s wife and the others, “take Liao Shi to the ancestral hall.”
"They're driving me to my death! The clan chief is going to drive me to my death!" Liao slapped her leg and howled like a wolf. "These days, you can't even speak the truth. They're trying to kill me!"
These words caused everyone to pause for a moment.
Sister-in-law Huang subconsciously turned her head towards the eccentric Huang clan chief.
"Take him away." Chief Huang took a deep breath before uttering those two words.
In the end, no matter how unwilling Liao was, she was dragged back by several women.
“Let’s go too,” Jiang Nuan shook her head. “It’s time to go home.”
"Mother," Xie asked softly, "what should we do? The clan leader won't really divorce Liao Chunhua, will he?"
“Probably not,” Jiang Nuan lowered her eyes, “but it will be difficult for Liao Chunhua to live the same way as before, and the clan leader is also likely to get into trouble this time.”
"What trouble did the clan chief get into?" Huang Xiaosan didn't quite understand. "I think the clan chief handled this matter very well, quickly, promptly, and decisively."
“This is only now,” Jiang Nuan said in a deep voice, “Liao Chunhua has revealed everything that should and shouldn’t have been said. Right now, these women are afraid of the clan chief’s power and obey his orders. But once they realize what’s happening…”
“Mother is right,” Xie immediately agreed, “Once the men in the village find out about this, there will definitely be a lot of trouble for them.”
"Jiaojiao is right."
If word got out that the clan leader was plotting against his orphaned and helpless young son, the reputation of Huangjiakou would be ruined.
Since this claim has been made, regardless of whether it is true or false, the clan chief must give the village an explanation.
After all, there are still several respected elders in the village.
Liao Chunhua is indeed quite capable; she really dragged the clan chief into the mess.
Unfortunately, his cleverness backfired!
