Tan Dingguo had been worrying himself sick over the village's affairs, and if things escalated to the point of involving the police, he would lose face. So, he coughed and made this decision.
He knew that doing this would be unfair to the three families who had been wronged, but it hadn't been long since Uncle Fu's family had reported the incident to the police!
Now that it's been reported, their Xishan Village will become famous in the county without anyone else's publicity.
However, while others gain a good reputation, Xishan Village is sure to gain a bad reputation, a notorious one that will spread far and wide.
After that, who would associate with the people of Xishan Village, especially when it came to marriage?
He had just found a good family for his youngest son, and if the marriage fell through because of this bad reputation, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
Upon hearing the village chief's words, Fu Hongxing pretended to hesitate for a moment before reluctantly nodding in agreement.
Seeing that Fu Hongxing had nodded in agreement, Zhao Dazhu and Lin Shengli naturally stopped insisting.
Wang Dingxiang never expected that instead of getting to eat mutton, she would get herself into a lot of trouble.
His face twitched with anger, but he dared not utter a word of objection.
When she looked up just now, Fu Hongxing's cold gaze seemed to want to devour her.
A shiver ran through me, and I immediately lowered my head.
Although Lin Jinshui felt that even reading a self-criticism and being publicly criticized in front of the whole village would be shameful, it was still much better than reporting it to the police.
After all, this can be considered a private settlement by the village itself.
Wang Guihua wanted to disagree, but considering that her son still needed to get married, she could only reluctantly agree.
After seeing everyone off and closing the door, Su Meilan suddenly turned around and looked at the second and third sons.
"Tell me, where's your eldest sister?"
Just as Wang Dingxiang said, she locked Lin Taohong in the room in the morning and didn't even give her any food.
It wasn't that she didn't want to let her eldest daughter out, but no matter how she tried to persuade her, she couldn't change her mind.
So, she got so angry that she locked the door and left, ignoring her daughter's frantic banging on it.
Unexpectedly, Wang Dingxiang noticed it and remembered it.
Lin Taolu timidly looked up and whispered, "My older sister said she was hungry, so I made her something to eat and opened the door for her to eat."
However, after finishing her meal, the older sister said her stomach hurt and then went to the toilet.
But after waiting for a long time, she still didn't come out. We went inside and looked around, but we couldn't find her.
After hearing her second sister's explanation, Lin Taoxia, though frightened, nodded vigorously to show that they were not lying.
They really didn't mean for the older sister to run away.
Su Meilan's expression shifted unpredictably; this time, it really was a lucky accident.
She knew her own daughter well; even though she kept Taohong locked up and starved her, it didn't change her mind.
If he doesn't escape this time, it could very well lead to another uproar.
However, this matter is now in the past.
If we don't get this peach blossom back, there's probably more trouble to come.
Su Meilan gritted her teeth and instructed Lin Shengli not to alert anyone else to search for her.
We must find that brat.
While Su Meilan was gritting her teeth, Lin Taohong had managed to trick her second and third sisters and finally escaped.
She originally wanted to go directly to Zhao Genlin, but she was afraid that if her parents found out she had run away, they would come to the Zhao family looking for her.
After thinking for a moment, he turned around and ran in another direction.
Once she got her maternal grandmother to back her up, her father listened to her mother at home.
However, as long as Grandma is around, Mom has to listen to her.
Thinking of this, Lin Taohong felt full of confidence.
