Wang Dabao opened his mouth wide, but couldn't make a sound; he could only gasp for breath.
The more Wang Er's wife tried to coax him, the more flustered she became.
Oh dear, what should we do? The reason she has such a high status in her husband's family is because the four Wang brothers had a total of eight children, but none of them were any good, all of them were girls.
She was the only one who had a grandson as her first child after marrying into the family.
Not only did her husband and in-laws value her, but all her uncles and aunts in the family also regarded her as the greatest contributor.
There's a saying that goes, "A nephew standing at the door means the family line hasn't ended."
This whole family is counting on their eldest son to carry on the family line!
If anything happens to Da Bao... she will become the eternal sinner of the Wang family!
Panic swept over the shrewish woman, who even sat on the ground, clutching her baby, and began to wail.
"Damn it! Who made our precious baby mute? This is outrageous!" She cried and slapped her thigh as if her parents had died.
The Wang family members, who had been hiding in the yard watching their second son's wife charge into battle alone, now saw that she was no longer useful, and one by one they came out to help.
A large group of people swarmed around, some trying to persuade him, others making sarcastic remarks.
It was the old man from the house again, leaning on his cane and walking shakily to Ji Mofan. "Immortal, we mortals are ignorant, but you should be able to tell what's wrong with our Dabao, right?"
"He's our only grandson. You should know how important a boy is in a rural area like ours. Please, have some compassion and help us figure out what's wrong."
The old man pleaded with him earnestly, but Ji Mofan, who had been very emotional just moments before, now looked at him with no expression.
“No need to look, I put a silencing spell on him,” he said.
Old Wang was stunned.
Coming to his senses, he promptly knelt down and made a gesture to kowtow to him, saying, "Immortal Master, please forgive me. My grandson was rude and offended you. It is also because I, as his grandfather, have failed to raise him properly. I apologize to you on his behalf!"
Ji Mofan stood there unmoved, his condescending gaze seemingly waiting for him to bang his head on the ground.
Old Wang gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and made a thud right in front of him.
The villagers who were just standing on the side of Fan in Jimo have now quietly switched sides one by one.
"Hiss... Even if the Wang family boy spoke nonsense, the Immortal Master may be angry, but there's no need to take it out on Old Master Wang, is there?"
"The old man must be almost sixty this year, right? This immortal looks... only ten years old?"
"An elder kneeling before a junior is believed to shorten one's lifespan."
"The Wang family is full of scoundrels, but the old man is a good man. He just married a shrewish wife. He was dominated by his wife when he was young, and he is dominated by his daughter-in-law when he is old. He is a pitiful man."
“You’re not kneeling to me,” Ji Mofan said amidst the whispers, “but to the little dog that your family has ruined.”
Old Wang was slightly taken aback.
A barely perceptible glint of ferocity flashed across his kind and gentle face.
Making him kneel before a child is one thing, but now this child is saying he should kneel before a dog?
This is an utter disgrace!
But Old Man Wang, who had maintained his honest persona his whole life, kept his expression, looking like he had been wronged but dared not speak out.
"As long as the immortal can calm down and remove the curse from Da Bao, we'll treat the old man however we want."
“It’s not that I’m angry,” Ji Mofan said. “I silenced him because he insulted the villagers.”
"We are clearly neighbors who have lived together for generations, so why should we suffer his unwarranted humiliation?"
The villagers watching fell silent for a moment.
Huh? What did this little immortal say?
He only took action because he was standing up for the villagers.
Thinking about it carefully, it's true. Just now, when he was being harassed by Wang Er's wife and Wang Dabao, he was scolded so badly that he didn't say a word back.
They only took action when Wang Dabao turned his anger towards the villagers.
And there was no hitting or scolding, just a light touch that rendered him speechless.
Compared to the insults he himself suffered, this was a remarkably gentle approach.
But how did the Wang family respond to his gentle words?
Over there, a group of people were wailing and lamenting, while over here, Old Man Wang, relying on his age, tried to blackmail him.
Some clever people realized that although Old Man Wang seemed to be indifferent to worldly affairs, he was actually living the best life in the Wang family.
His wife and sons always fought for him in everything, while he himself lived a peaceful and carefree life.
He didn't come out when Wang Er's wife was cursing, and he didn't come out when Wang Dabao threw stones at people, but he came out immediately when his own family members were at a disadvantage.
This isn't anything good either!
They are kind, not foolish.
“I didn’t come here to bother you villagers for no reason.” After saying that, Ji Mofan turned to look at the other villagers around him. “Before I came here, I used the Soul Searching Technique on this dog demon.”
"It will turn into a monster, all because of the Wang family."
"Just because it was close to Wang Xiaoqiao, the dog would rush out to protect its owner whenever the Wang family bullied her."
"So Wang Dabao disliked him and wanted to poison him to death. But he mistook the herb for the real herb, which caused the puppy to become a demon and bite him instead."
"What he fed her wasn't the big bone this aunt was talking about, but a deadly poison."
A group of villagers gasped in shock.
For a time, many people believed him.
There's no other reason than that the name Wang Xiaoqiao is now unfamiliar even to many people in the village.
Wang Xiaoqiao's biological mother was the wife of Wang Lao Er's father.
She gave her daughter a beautiful name, but since her death, no one in the Wang family has called her that.
The fact that this young immortal knew this must be because he saw it in the dog's memory.
If this part is true, the other parts certainly can't be faked either!
The little immortal has no vested interest in them, so of course he wouldn't lie to a bunch of mortals.
And there's another, more important and unspeakable reason...
The Wang family had long been the target of public anger, but because they had many sons and had lived there for generations, the villagers had no reason to drive them out of the village, even if they were annoyed by them.
But things are different now! They have an immortal backing them up!
It was the Wang family's fault that they raised such a vicious dog that injured several villagers, and those people are still lying in bed at home, unable to get up!
"Drive the Wang family out..."
I don't know who shouted it first in a low voice, and then the voice got louder and louder.
"Remove them from the family genealogy!"
"Even the ancestral graves have to be moved!"
This was the first time the Wang family had been treated so humiliatingly.
The fact that there were many men was no joke. The four burly farmers glared angrily, picked up their farm tools, and were ready to fight.
They didn't target the villagers, but specifically focused on Jimo Fan, who seemed easy to bully.
With a sharpened sickle, he hurled it viciously at Ji Mofan.
