But they didn't. They released malice towards her and Shi Tou without investigating thoroughly, and now ask her to forgive them.
She was merciful by not having those involved arrested.
If it weren't for the fact that so many people were bitten by snakes, she would really sue!
Lu Ran's face was cold and stern: "This matter cannot be forgiven just like that. There are too many things involved and it needs to be investigated. Only after the investigation can we decide on the sentence."
"Yes." Wei Junci nodded. "Although the village has been saved, and you certainly have your own difficulties, this matter needs to be investigated before a conclusion can be drawn."
Hearing them say this, we knew that things would not be that simple. Even Junci's expression was very serious, and everyone became even more worried.
"But we..."
"Alright!" the old village chief shouted, stopping everyone. "If you do something wrong, you have to take responsibility. Remember this: if we were wrong this time, we were wrong! Since we've made a mistake, we have to take responsibility. Ah Hai, Ah Rong, and especially you, remember today's lesson. Ah Hai, you're impulsive, and you must learn a lesson from this incident."
"From now on, we must thoroughly investigate everything. From now on, we must put the village first in everything we do. Unlike me... I made a mistake once and didn't even realize it, and I keep making the same mistake over and over again!"
Everyone fell silent for a moment. This was the first time they saw the old village chief like this.
The old village chief is very prestigious. He was called the village chief in the past, and now he is the town mayor or the branch secretary, but they still like to call him the old village chief.
Some people knew what it was, while others didn't. However, everyone was shocked by the old village chief's sincere attitude.
"Grandpa..." Ah Hai and Ah Rong's eyes were red, and for a moment they didn't know what to say. They didn't seem to say anything themselves. They were reluctant to let Grandpa go, but Grandpa was right. If you do something wrong, you must take responsibility. They had indeed done something wrong this time.
And it was so wrong that it almost harmed the entire village. If Zhang Xingrong hadn't been smart enough to notice something earlier and warn them, the whole village might have been... finished.
They simply couldn't imagine these things, but they almost killed Zhang Xingrong and her brother.
Zhang Xingrong's brother is still lying in the hospital, no wonder he doesn't want to say a word.
Even if they wanted to blame someone, they didn't seem to blame themselves. If they had to blame someone, they would have blamed their own carelessness, letting the wolf into the house and letting them take the child away. If they had noticed that something was wrong with Wei Xiaoxiao and taken precautions earlier, this wouldn't have happened. But they clearly noticed something was wrong, but they were careless, always thinking that a girl couldn't do anything.
All kinds of carelessness have led to today's mistakes. What else can they ask for?
"Ah Hai, the village is now in your hands. You must remember your responsibilities. Don't be impulsive when encountering things. Think carefully before deciding what to do!"
Ah Hai didn't want to agree because he was reluctant to let his grandfather go.
"You must remember what I said. It's easy to make mistakes when you're impulsive. From now on, no matter what happens, always put the village first."
Ah Hai nodded after a while: "I remember it."
"And you, Arong," the old village chief turned and warned, "you have to help your brother. Together you two should manage the village well. The villagers are counting on you, so you can't let them down. Your brother is impulsive, so you have to remind him and supervise him from time to time."
