Chapter 388 Rumors Stop at the Wise
"That's right. Do you remember that in the early years, she could create things we had never seen before out of her hands for no reason? Could it be that she is really a disaster star, bringing bad luck with her?"
"If this is really the case, we must drive them away as soon as possible. If they continue to stay here, won't it bring great disaster to our village?"
Hearing everyone start talking like this, Liu Guizi also smiled with satisfaction.
"Okay, stop looking for trouble."
Suddenly a voice rang out from the crowd, and Village Chief Wang walked up slowly. Now, Village Chief Wang was old, still holding a cane in his hand, and holding the fat boy who hurt Liu Niang yesterday. Seeing Village Chief Wang coming, everyone fell silent, thinking that she was here to take charge of the situation. Unexpectedly, Village Chief Wang bowed to Xu Miaomiao and said, "Our village has been prosperous and wealthy for so many years, which one was not brought to us by Madam Xu? Did Madam Xu spend a penny on our medical treatment? You are slandering her like this now, do you still have any conscience? Are the people of our Wangjia Village like this? Besides, it was agreed that we must listen to her when we went into the mountains to hunt that day. It was my son who didn't listen to her, so he lost a leg. We, the Wang family, have already acknowledged this matter, but you are still making a fuss about it. Our family has not said anything, and we don't mean to blame Madam Xu. You actually exposed this matter, you really don't mind shame, Do you still have any conscience when you speak so harshly to your lifesaver? "
After Village Chief Wang finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Wu Zhuang previously felt somewhat guilty, and looked at Xu Miaomiao with some guilt in his eyes, but Xu Miaomiao did not take it to heart. Now she just wanted to give Gu Yuanniang justice. Gu Yuanniang lost her child for no reason, and she would never allow these people to slander her like this again. After Village Chief Wang finished speaking, no one made a sound, and Village Chief Wang bowed to Xu Miaomiao, and then looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Madam Xu, the blame for what happened yesterday is indeed on us. We did not teach the child well, and we let those rumors spread out like this, which caused harm to Madam Gu. Whether it is the silver and money needed in the future, or our help is needed, we will certainly do our best. Madam Xu, please forgive us this time. Today, I, Wang, will apologize to Madam Xu for what happened yesterday in the name of the village chief. Madam Xu, please don't bother with us anymore."
After saying this, Village Chief Wang immediately pushed the child next to him. Seeing this, the child immediately stepped forward, bowed to Xu Miaomiao, and said, "Madam Xu, I was wrong yesterday. Grandpa has taught me well. Please don't mind it, because this matter is because we are angry. Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao's frown was slightly relieved. Just when she wanted to get up and help the child up, the child burst into tears the next second, walked towards Liu Quezi who was standing beside her, hugged Liu Quezi and said, "Dad, I was really wrong. I will never hit anyone with stones again. Please ask grandpa not to hit me again."
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed and they began to talk.
"So he was tortured into confessing. It's just a child of this age. What's wrong with throwing stones at people? Why is she so petty? I used to think that Madam Xu was a good person who didn't care about gains and losses in anything she did. Now it seems that she is a complete bad person. She didn't even let such a young child go. What is her intention?"
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, her expression turned cold. Seeing everything in front of her, she was actually a little overwhelmed. Xu Qingshan on the side couldn't listen any more, so he immediately picked up the broom beside him, waved it at the crowd and said, "Let you say it's our fault. Now it's us who have lost the child, and it's us who are suffering. Not only did you not apologize, but you also wanted to put all the blame on us in a few words. Do you people still have any sense of propriety and honor? You said this just to draw a line between you and us, because we were demoted and you are afraid of getting into trouble and being in trouble, so you came forward. You people always only think about yourselves and don't understand the real right and wrong."
Xu Qingshan was really furious now. His mission in the capital was to teach people to read and distinguish right from wrong, but these people seemed to have never received any education. They believed whatever others said, and thought whoever they saw as pitiful was right. How could this be possible?
Xu Miaomiao naturally understood what Mr. Xu said, patted his shoulder, and said, "We are not wrong in this matter, we will not tolerate it, no matter what method you use, we will not compromise. Although he is just a child, he disappeared from the world just because he has another child. Shouldn't he be punished? I have said all. If you still think we are wrong, then come on. Although my Xu family has declined, we are not afraid of you."
After Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, she dragged Xu Qingshan back to the house, sat on the chair angrily and took two deep breaths. When they saw them all leave, they also dispersed, but they still talked about this matter as a topic of conversation after dinner. Xu Miaomiao touched her forehead helplessly and suddenly felt that since they came back, nothing has gone smoothly, but isn't life like this, living day by day like this? Even if it doesn't go smoothly, so what? There will definitely be a good result.
Xu Miaomiao saw him sitting there in a daze.
Song Weiwei also came up, looked at her and said, "What are you still thinking about? Now we have completely fallen out with the people in the village, and we don't know how to live in the future. I don't know why these people have changed so quickly. If it weren't for us, how could they have opened up their cotton fields and plowed fields? How could they live a wealthy life now? Now, just because we made a small mistake, they want to clear themselves of the blame and want to drive us out. These people are simply worthless. I think we should take back all the cotton fields and pear fields. I want to see how they can make a living."
"Rumors stop at the wise, but where can we find so many wise men?"
