The village chief was stunned, and so were the surrounding villagers.
A middle-aged woman with a pale face and a mean look spoke up, "If this woman hadn't been unfaithful to her husband, acting like a slut all day, seducing men, who else would have been put in the pig cage if not her?"
Little Moer walked up to the middle-aged aunt, tilted his head back, and asked, "Auntie, when you clap your hands, does it hurt in one hand or both?"
The middle-aged woman was stunned, but the man next to her smiled and said, "Of course both hands hurt."
Xiao Moer turned around and asked him, "Then can you clap with one hand?"
"Of course not."
Little Moer walked up to the pig cage, straightening her small frame. Her dark eyes swept over everyone present. "Then why was she the only one to be put in the pig cage? Even if she seduced, if the man could control himself and remain unmoved, nothing would have happened. Since something happened, both of them are at fault. Since we both made mistakes, we should be treated equally. Is it inappropriate to punish her alone?"
The middle-aged woman was not convinced. "You are just a child, what do you know? If she doesn't seduce people, how can a man make a mistake?"
"If men don't make mistakes, she won't make mistakes either." Xiao Moer immediately retorted.
The middle-aged woman couldn't argue with him, so she raised her voice and shouted, "Go away, little kid. This is our adult business."
As she spoke, the woman reached out to push Xiao Mo'er away, but before her hand touched his body, it was grabbed by a pair of white hands.
"Auntie, just say what you want to say. Don't use violence, or you might hurt someone." Bei Yutang looked at her with a smile.
"You outsiders, stay out of our village's affairs," the woman's husband said angrily.
"Yes, leave immediately."
"Exactly. You're not welcome here."
The villagers shouted and looked at them with unfriendly eyes.
The village chief raised his hand, and the villagers stopped shouting.
"Everyone, this is our village's business. Please don't meddle in other people's business. Please leave." The village chief said in a tough tone.
The woman in the pig cage kept shaking and struggling, looking at Bei Yutang and his group with pleading eyes.
"Wuwuwu." The woman shouted with all her might, but unfortunately only wuwu sounds came out of her mouth.
While everyone's attention was focused on Bei Yutang, Xiao Moer calmly untied the cloth that was covering the woman's mouth.
As soon as the woman was free, she shouted to Bei Yutang and his group, "Save me! I've been wrongly accused. Please, save me."
Bei Yutang heard the woman's cry for help and smiled at the village chief. "Village chief, it seems there is still injustice here. If there is really an injustice, then we will not sit idly by and watch you drown people alive."
The village chief angrily shouted at the woman, "Sanniang, stop trying to deceive outsiders here. You've been caught red-handed, and you have no right to complain. We in Jihyo Village will never allow such an unchaste woman like you to remain in this world, harming others and ruining our village's century-old reputation."
"Yes, such an unfaithful woman should be drowned."
"She must not be allowed to remain alive in this world."
"The century-old reputation of our Jihyo Village cannot be ruined by a woman like this."
"You outsiders, leave now. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude." A burly man threatened viciously.
