"Then what else do you want? Are you going to send your grandmother to the yamen too?"
Seeing his anxiety, Zhao grabbed his arm.
"Don't get angry with the child."
Then Zhao looked at Douya and said, "Douya, we're both fine now, so let's just let this matter go. Harmony in the family brings prosperity in everything."
Fang Qing opened her mouth, but swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
She wanted to say that the old woman had killed the bean sprout, but now she was sitting here perfectly fine.
Perhaps it was the sadness in her eyes that touched Fang Daniu, for he stepped forward and patted her head.
"Don't be angry, Bean Sprout. Dad will protect you from now on and will never let you suffer such injustice as you did today."
Fang Qing looked up at him.
"Dad, are you serious? What if Grandma makes things difficult for Mom again?"
"this……"
Fang Daniu really didn't know what to do, after all, she was his mother.
"If my grandmother continues to make things difficult for my mother, how about my father and grandmother separate the family property?"
"Nonsense, how dare you talk about dividing the family property? Now that your grandfather is gone, how will your grandmother live if the family property is divided? Don't worry, your grandmother won't do it again."
Fang Qing didn't know what else to say.
The old woman is definitely not going to change. She will find a way to make Fang Daniu disappointed in her and then they will separate from the family.
No one knows what Fang Daniu said to the old woman, but after the meal, the old woman didn't come to the table to eat. Instead, she was muttering and grumbling in the inner room.
Fang Qing had no interest in paying attention to her. After finishing her meal, she grabbed a hoe and went out.
The magic potion was indeed powerful; when she went over, she saw that the place where she had sprayed the potion yesterday was now just bare, withered grass.
The rest, turning the soil, is simple.
But this thought only lasted for half an hour before she was so tired that she plopped down on the ground.
This job is simply inhuman.
Unfortunately, before she could plant any crops, no one could know that this piece of land existed, so she had to do the work herself.
She worked for a while, then rested, and in the whole morning she had only worked on a small plot of land.
Exhausted, I planned to go back for lunch and a nap. As soon as I entered the village, I saw an old woman and a middle-aged man arguing and pulling each other by the big well.
Looking closer, isn't that man the village chief?
In broad daylight, they really aren't afraid of being gossiped about.
Thinking this, Fang Qing secretly went to the village chief's house, avoiding the two of them.
The village chief's wife was cooking in the kitchen when she saw Fang Qing and paused for a moment.
"Grandma Liu, please go and see. My grandma and the village chief are talking about something by the well. They're pulling and tugging at each other. I'm afraid the village chief will hit my grandma."
The village chief's wife's face turned ashen upon hearing this, and she threw down the fire poker and rushed outside.
Fang Qing returned home at a leisurely pace. Just as she sat down, she heard a series of urgent shouts of "Da Niu" from outside.
"Da Niu, go check on her! Your mother is going to jump into the well!"
Fang Daniu was chopping wood when he heard this, so he threw down his axe and ran outside, with Zhao following behind.
Fang Qing found it amusing.
That old man is reluctant to die.
She slowly went out the door and arrived at the ancient well in the village, where a crowd of people had already gathered around it.
Before anyone even got close, they could hear the old woman's wailing.
"Why is my life so miserable? I've lived an innocent life, and now in my old age I'm being accused of such a crime."
“I, Wang Cuihua, swear to God that I have never done anything to betray my husband. You neighbors have all been bewitched by that young girl.”
"God, is there any justice in this world? I might as well be dead."
Many people around were talking about it. Fang Qing looked around but didn't see the village chief. She guessed that he didn't want to lose face like yesterday and left first.
The old woman and the village chief's wife had obviously already had a fight.
Now that they were separated, the village chief's wife spat on the old woman as she listened to her cries.
"Shameless! You're clinging to other women's men in broad daylight. How are you innocent? If you jumped into this well, I'd be worried you'd dirty it."
"You're making baseless accusations! The village chief only helped me pour a bucket of water. How did that mean I was being clingy with him? You're just being unreasonable."
With Fang Daniu present, the old woman became more assertive, which made the village chief's wife even more displeased.
"Why are you holding my man's arm while I'm pouring water? You slut."
The old woman glared angrily, and when she couldn't win the argument, she dragged Fang Daniu out.
"Da Niu, you just watch your parents get insulted, tear her mouth apart!"
Fang Daniu was an honest man, but he listened to the old woman the most. As soon as she spoke, Fang Daniu stood in front of her.
"Sixth Aunt, I respect you as an elder and have been accommodating to you, but don't be ungrateful. If you continue to talk badly about my mother, I won't be polite to you."
Everyone in the village treated the village chief's family with utmost respect. This was the first time the village chief's wife had ever heard Fang Daniu speak to her like this, and she was so angry that she saw stars.
"This is outrageous! Where is my Chunsheng? Where is Jingsheng? Hurry up and call my sons here. I want to see whether the son I raised is more capable than the son raised by that slut."
Although Fang Daniu was an honest man, he also had a temper, and his expression didn't look good when he heard what the village chief's wife said.
"Sixth Aunt, if you keep doing this..."
"Dad, what is a 'broken shoe'? Why is my grandma called a 'broken shoe'? Her shoes aren't broken."
Fang Daniu's words were interrupted by a child's clear voice. He looked down at Fang Qing standing beside him, and for a moment his expression showed panic.
"It's nothing. You're just a little kid, don't listen to things like that. Hurry up and go home with your mother."
Zhao quickly came over and pulled Fang Qing aside.
"You jinx! Look at the little brat you raised. If it weren't for her mother, would I have been unfairly branded with such a crime?"
