Yunduo's little face showed some difficulty. She tilted her head slightly, thought for a while, and then nodded cautiously. However, she immediately shook her head and explained haltingly, "Aunt Chrysanthemum said that she didn't actually tell me to jump into the river. She was just giving me a metaphor. I took it as a real thing... And, I didn't die. I'm even... I'm doing better than before. So, she saved me."
When Yun Duo said this, her little face was filled with undisguised 'confusion'. Clearly, even 'she herself' didn't believe Zhang Juhua's words.
Zhang Chunxiang immediately spat.
"Pah! Is Zhang Juhua even human? How can she just casually suggest jumping into the river to a child? Let alone a naive little girl like Duo'er, even an adult, when faced with something truly upsetting, can easily get stuck in a rut and take extreme measures. And she's just..."
At this point, Zhang Chunxiang looked at Lu Zhimin and said, "Dad, you have to remember this. Give Zhang Juhua and Liu Laogen a good talking-to later. If they still don't know what's good for them, tell Uncle San, and see if Uncle San doesn't give them a good beating!"
It has to be said that people's hearts are always biased. Although Zhang Chunxiang's words were all in support of Yun Duo, when it came to actually taking action, she couldn't help but side with Zhang Juhua. To be honest, if Zhang Juhua were to be held responsible, the matter would at least have to be reported to the township or town authorities so that officials could handle it. Zhang Juhua's behavior could be considered instigation; although it 'didn't' cause serious consequences, besides criticism and education, she would still face fines or even detention.
If the consequences are serious, then he'll have to go to jail.
While the average villager might not know, Zhang Chunxiang, the village chief's wife, did know a bit about it.
But after all, he came from the same village as her and was used to saying nice things to flatter her. In addition, Zhang Chunxiang's husband, Lu Laogen, was a close relative of them, so when it was "necessary," they would naturally protect him.
Lu Zhimin shared the same idea as Zhang Chunxiang.
The character "Lu" cannot be written with one stroke. No matter how outrageous Zhang Juhua is, she is still their Lu family's daughter-in-law. If it can be treated as a family matter, then it should be treated as a family matter.
As for Yunduo... at worst, we can just side with them a little for a while, say some reassuring words, and make sure the Lu family doesn't look down on them. That would be enough to make amends.
“This Zhang Juhua is truly outrageous.” After making up his mind, Lu Zhimin nodded and spoke. Then, he looked at Yun Duo: “Don’t worry, Duo’er, Uncle Village Chief will stand up for you. Didn’t you say that your grandfather splashed water on your Aunt Juhua and the others? Good for him! Let them learn their lesson for not speaking human language and doing human things.”
"Don't worry, your grandfather is in the right. If they dare to cause trouble, see how Uncle Village Chief will beat them up."
That's exactly what clouds are all about!
So, even though she knew the village chief and his wife secretly favored Zhang Juhua, she didn't feel it was particularly wrong. After all, in these people's eyes, 'she' was still alive. Moreover, if the original owner hadn't died, she probably wouldn't have been able to take over this body.
So, Yun Duo's previous plan regarding Zhang Juhua was to let her be as she pleased as long as she didn't provoke her. But if Zhang Juhua insisted on coming to provoke her, she wouldn't be 'polite' to her.
