Song Yaoyao's words reignited the anger of the villagers, whose emotions had just calmed down.
"I knew it! Why would a big boss from Hong Kong suddenly come to this poor, remote place to seize this mudflat? Turns out he really is here for revenge!"
"Hey, you surnamed Ling, hurry up and apologize!"
"If you don't apologize, we'll smash your things..."
The villagers' eyes were bloodshot, and some started shouting and smashing the tools on the farm.
Some people and the villagers of Stone Village who were blocking Ling Huanwu's way angrily started fighting, stretching out their hands in an attempt to pull Ling Huanwu out of the crowd.
It seems that as long as they force Ling Huanwu to apologize, they can save their livelihood and jobs.
Song Yaoyao pulled up the woolen hat on her head, which was meant for postpartum women, and felt extremely pleased to see Ling Huanwu squeezed in the middle looking so disheveled.
So she added fuel to the fire.
"You all don't know this, do you? This capitalist heiress took out money and all sorts of coupons early this morning and distributed them to the villagers of Stone Village. None of you from other villages received a single penny!"
This statement was like a bombshell dropped into the crowd.
The villagers, who were just moments ago merely angry, have now gone completely mad.
"Why are they only giving them to Stone Village? Why aren't they giving them to us?"
"Hand over the money and tickets right now! No wonder your Stone Village isn't in a hurry; you've been bribed by this vixen!"
The villagers went on a rampage, smashing and looting, and the two sides instantly turned into a brawl.
Zhou Jiuzhen wanted to stop her, but he was outnumbered and powerless. Seeing that he was powerless, he could only hold Ling Huanwu tightly in his arms for a moment.
Zhou Shuyao watched anxiously from the side, seeing the carrying poles about to hit Ling Huanwu, but Zhou Jiuzhen turned around and protected her, and countless carrying poles fell on his back with a "thud".
Zhou Shuyao clutched his chest, wanting to push through the crowd and shield Ling Huanwu from the carrying poles, hoping to gain her favor.
Unfortunately, as soon as he squeezed into the crowd, he was knocked to the ground by an angry person, and his ribs, which were already broken by only one, were now broken again.
By the time Guard Wang arrived with his soldiers, many villagers had already been fighting amongst themselves, their heads bleeding.
Song Yaoyao, with a beautiful smile, hid in the corner. Just as she was about to leave, pulling her hat, she felt a sharp pain on her head and was pulled to the ground by a force.
Who pulled me?
Song Yaoyao was so shocked by the fall that she saw stars. Just as she looked up, she was slapped hard again.
Ling Huanwu's eyes were icy cold as she grabbed her hair and dragged her onto a nearby rock.
Amidst Song Yaoyao's screams.
Ling Huanwu pulled Song Yaoyao to stand on a high place, looking down at the villagers below who had been fighting amongst themselves because of her words, and couldn't help but feel a deep sadness.
In just a few words, the villagers who originally lived on the same land and were nurtured by the same sea turned against each other with violence.
This selfish side of human nature was on full display at that moment.
Even if she voluntarily went to apologize and reconcile with Qin Jinshen, she was unwilling to take the blame and let everyone think it was her fault, that she had offended Qin Jinshen.
Ling Huanwu grabbed Song Yaoyao's hair, who was still screaming, forcing her to look at the injured and collapsed villagers below, and loudly questioned her, "Song Yaoyao, are you sure it was me who offended Qin Jinshen, and not you?"
Song Yaoyao opened her mouth, still trying to play the victim, and brought up Ling's parents as evidence to deceive these ignorant villagers.
She turned these villagers into a knife in her hand, a weapon she used to stab Ling Huanwu.
But the next second, Ling Huanwu pulled out a confession and settlement agreement from her pocket, her expression cold and stern. "Since you say that I offended Qin Jinshen, then what is this confession and settlement agreement you signed in the detention center?"
She raised her voice, trying to make sure everyone could hear her.
"Many villagers in Stone Village heard you mocking my blood-related parents and making me, their own daughter, take the blame for you."
"This confession and settlement agreement clearly and in detail records how you argued with Miss Qin, causing her to fall down the stairs, and how you framed me, proving that you were just spreading rumors!"
"The police officers brought me this confession to settle the matter and have me sign it. It's in black and white. Have you completely forgotten it?"
Ling Huanwu spread the confession and reconciliation agreement out in front of everyone, the signatures and handprints on it were particularly clear.
Just as Song Yaoyao was fanning the flames from the sidelines, Ling Huanwu had anticipated this move. So, while Zhou Jiuzhen was trying to break up the fight and the surrounding area was in chaos, she quickly and secretly slipped into her spatial dimension to retrieve the confession she had prepared in advance, just in case, so that she could expose her in public at this moment.
Song Yaoyao stood frozen in place.
Faced with a large group of villagers, their heads bleeding and their faces bruised and swollen, the color drained from his face.
In order to get out of the detention center as soon as possible, she did take the advice of the lawyer sent by the mysterious person, and voluntarily surrendered and wrote this confession and settlement agreement.
The lawyer confidently asserted that since the Qin family's daughter wasn't from the mainland and the Qin family hadn't filed a lawsuit, she didn't need to fear going to jail. He assured her that as long as Ling Huanwu signed the settlement agreement, she would be released.
Unexpectedly, this confession and settlement agreement has now become evidence for Ling Huanwu to clear her name and slap her in the face.
"I...I didn't, I'm innocent, I was forced to write this confession..."
As Song Yaoyao spoke, she pointed at Zhou Jiuzhen, "It was him... He used his connections to force me to confess in order to protect his wife!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than the police officer who arrived immediately retorted, "Song Yaoyao, we still have the recording of the entire interrogation. Do you want to play it for everyone to hear? We never forced you to confess!"
Song Yaoyao opened her mouth wide, her face turning a deep purplish-red, like a duck being choked, unable to utter another word.
The villagers who had just been criticizing Ling Huanwu on the mudflats now turned their attention to Song Yaoyao.
Ling Huanwu released her grip on Song Yaoyao's hair, and Song Yaoyao collapsed to the ground, terrified by the murderous stares directed at her from all around.
Ling Huanwu had helped these villagers before, and they treated her like this. What more would they expect from her?
Song Yaoyao stumbled and tumbled down the rocks, quickly hiding behind the police officer for protection. "Comrade, save me! These villagers are crazy! They're actually trying to force me, a complete stranger, to apologize for that worthless mudflat..."
She rattled off a whole bunch of things, but the police officers had no time to listen to her. They helped take the injured person to the clinic or the military medical room for treatment.
As the police officers and soldiers carried the wounded away, Song Yaoyao also tried to sneak away quietly. She had only taken a few steps when she saw shadows looming overhead.
She looked up in horror and saw the remaining uninjured villagers on the mudflats surrounding her, their faces full of anger.
Song Yaoyao shuddered and collapsed to the ground, filled with deep regret.
She could have stayed home and rested peacefully after giving birth, but why did she have to come out and cause Ling Huanwu so much trouble? Now, she's going to die a miserable death.
Without a second thought, the villagers grabbed the culprit, Song Yaoyao, stuffed a rag into her mouth as she begged for mercy, threw her onto a fishing boat, and headed straight for Qin Jinshen's residence.
