"Hey, isn't this Daxiu Niang?"
"That's right. Wasn't that Daxiu the one Xia Manni held a knife to her neck?"
"Oh my, after all this fuss, it turns out it was someone I know who committed the crime. I was wondering why this thief only steals from families with little food."
At this time, there was another round of condemnation from the crowd, but the direction of the indignation that had just started had changed.
The village chief cleared his throat a few times, "Ahem." The noise in the crowd finally died down.
Xia Manni had long discovered that the person she held a knife to her neck was Xia Daxiu.
The one who was stopped by the children with sticks was their grandmother.
"Daxiuniang, this is your fault. You said you are old, how could you do such a thing as stealing?"
The village chief walked up to Da Xiuniang and said sarcastically, "Some people really get more confused as they get older. When Da Xiuniang was young, she wasn't such a fool."
The village chief's words made Daxiuniang blush. She had said long ago that she didn't want to come today, but her son-in-law said that she was the only one who knew where the money was, and asked him to take two sacks of food from their family.
"Village chief, you can't say that. We went back to our home to get our own things. How can you say that it's stealing?" Daxiu said unconvinced.
"Bah, Daxiu, why are you so shameless?"
"That's right, have you forgotten that you two signed the marriage agreement that day?"
"Daxiu, how come you have become so heartless now?"
The aunts in the village couldn't stand it anymore and started to denounce Daxiu.
"We have already signed the agreement to sever our relationship. Coming to our Xia family today to do such sneaky things is an act of theft. Please ask the village chief to make a decision for us."
Xia Manni said calmly that she didn't want to continue to tangle with these people. She was very sleepy at night.
"Xia Manni, don't push your luck. Even if we sign a severance agreement, what's the deal? Those four children are still from my mother's village and are my nephews."
Daxiu argued cunningly that she couldn't go back without getting a penny, otherwise her husband would torture her to death.
"Did you hear that, Big One, Second One? I'm still your grandmother." Daxiu's mother chimed in at this time. She looked at the children she hadn't seen for a while, and for some reason she always felt that they were a little different.
"Be good, Sanwa and Sini'er, let your brother let me go." Daxiuniang felt that it seemed difficult to reason with Dawa and Erwa, so she spoke to the two younger ones who were not very sensible.
"You are not my grandma." Sanwa said hatefully.
"We don't have a grandmother." Si Ni'er said with a cold face.
"We only have one mother, and her name is Xia Manni." Da Wa said gritting his teeth. He was the eldest child, so naturally he had the deepest feelings for his grandmother, but in recent years, his grandmother's actions had become more and more excessive.
They forced their biological mother away, and of course their biological mother was also a selfish person.
Their grandfather was so angry that he even kept subsidizing their aunt.
In the end, he just left them behind.
It’s better not to have a grandma like this. Their family is not living a good life yet, and they come here to steal things right after we harvest the rice.
If they do have any future, I don’t know how I will be able to get close to them.
It would be better to take this opportunity to kill this idea.
"You are thieves, and you refuse to admit your guilt." Erwa even poked forward with a stick, scaring Daxiuniang into screaming.
Xia Manni looked at the children's reactions and felt relieved, but also a little sorry for them.
If possible, who would be willing to fight against their former relatives?
The villagers applauded after hearing this. Fortunately, the four children of the Xia family were sensible and clear-headed. Xia Manni really knew how to enjoy life, while Daxiu and Daxiu's mother were fools.
"Oh, I don't know what kind of magic potion Xia Manni has fed to those children. She actually made them use sticks against their own grandmother. Such unfilial behavior, truly a vicious and venomous person. She..."
"Who are you?" Xia Manni interrupted the person who was still speaking at length.
"I am Daxiu's husband, your brother-in-law, I..."
"Who do you think you are?"
Xia Manni interrupted Daxiu Man again. She really felt that it was annoying for a woman to whimper like that.
"Sister-in-law, don't be so rude..."
"none of your business."
Xia Manni's words left Daxiu speechless.
He had always been a bully, afraid of the strong and bullying the weak. When facing Daxiu, he would hit her if he was not satisfied. But when it came to a woman like Xia Manni, he really didn't know what to do.
"First, your last name isn't Xia, so you have no right to speak here. Second, you came to my house to steal things, and you're still saying you're being polite."
After saying this, Xia Manni ignored the man. She felt that the stupid things that Daxiu and her mother did were definitely related to this man.
"Village Chief, please don't disturb everyone's rest. Let's see whether these people should be sent to the government office or..."
"Why send me to the government office? You dare to send me to the government office? You are disobedient. If I hadn't taken pity on you and brought you back that day, would you still be living such a good life today? Ah!"
Before Daxiuniang could finish her words, Erwa hit her with a stick.
"Don't talk about my mother."
"Erwa, you actually hit me." Daxiuniang said sadly, but in fact she scolded Erwa like a dog in her heart.
"Let's do as Da Wa's mother said and send it to the government office tomorrow morning." The village chief settled the matter with just one sentence.
"Village chief, you can't do this? This is just a family matter, why do we have to take it to court?" The big show man started to prepare a long speech with the village chief at this time.
