However, Shen Baolan was not afraid of the village chief.

"He's fine now, but after falling from such a high tree, who knows if he has any internal injuries? In my opinion, not only should he pay compensation, but he should also go to the city hospital for a full-body check-up and CT scan. If he has any sequelae, it will ruin his life."

After adding fuel to the fire, he did not forget to diss Shen Mingzhu, "If you want to eat sour jujubes, why don't you let your son Ziheng climb the tree to pick them for you? You think you enjoy ordering other people's children around. What's the matter? Are you used to being a leader in the city? Do you want to show off your power when you return to the village?"

After hearing what Shen Baolan said, Goudan's mother became strong again.

"That's right. If it weren't for Shen Mingzhu's instigation, my dog ​​wouldn't have climbed the tree, let alone fallen from the tree. Uncle Dequan, even if I say anything today, Shen Mingzhu will have to pay compensation and take my dog ​​to the hospital for a checkup!"

"Okay, let's go, now."

Shen Mingzhu responded indifferently and was about to ask Pei Yang to take his son back to the city, but the village chief Shen Dequan stopped her with his hand.

"Mingzhu, don't worry, I have to sort out this matter with them today!"

Shen Dequan pointed at Goudan's mother and angrily yelled, "To say that you have long hair and little knowledge is an understatement! Mingzhu is a big boss in the city and has eaten all kinds of good things. Do you really think that she would covet your two wild dates that even pigs wouldn't eat?"

Shen Mingzhu, who had eaten several sour dates before, said: "..."

"Mingzhu asked the kids to pick sour jujubes to exchange for pencils and exercise books. It's for the kids' good studies and to save you some money."

After hearing what the village chief said, others also spoke up.

"Yeah, Goudan's mother, don't be so unreasonable. Which kid in Shenjiagou hasn't been beaten or fallen before? Doctor Liu said Goudan is fine, so he is definitely fine."

Seeing that everyone in the village stood on Shen Mingzhu's side, Goudan's mother couldn't help but look unhappy.

Shen Baolan was unwilling to let Shen Mingzhu clear herself of the matter so easily, and said sarcastically, "Shen Mingzhu, you ordered the kids to help you pick so many sour dates. What do you plan to do with them? Do you want to take them back to the city to make money and do business? You make a lot of money, but you are so stingy that you don't want to share a bit with the kids who worked so hard to help you climb the trees to pick sour dates. You are really black-hearted."

Before Shen Mingzhu could even open her mouth, the village chief got angry at Shen Baolan.

"Shut up! What does Mingzhu do with these wild jujubes? What does it have to do with you? The wild jujubes all over the hillside rot in the ground every year. Even animals don't eat them. Mingzhu can make a Mingtang out of them. That's Mingzhu's ability! If you have the ability, you can also pick wild jujubes to do business and make a lot of money. Who is stopping you?"

In front of the whole village, Shen Baolan was scolded by the village chief. Even if she was thick-skinned, she couldn't hold it in anymore.

She said aggrievedly: "Uncle Dequan, you are so partial to Shen Mingzhu, isn't it because she is making a lot of money now?"

Shen Dequan was on fire, "Mingzhu opened a factory and helped the villagers get rich together. If I don't favor her, how could I favor you, a troublemaker who was driven back by your in-laws?"

As soon as these words came out, chuckles suddenly broke out all around.

Suddenly, Shen Hongmei in the crowd brought up the old story, "Sister Baolan, you deliberately poured oil on the path beside the ditch, causing Mingzhu to slip and fall into the water, and miss the blind date, but Mingzhu didn't hold it against you."

"What happened today was just an accident. You're holding on to it because you just can't bear to see Mingzhu live better than you, right?"

Although the news of falling into the water had already spread throughout the village, Shen Baolan pretended to be deaf and dumb and ignored it, and the villagers gradually stopped talking about it.

Now that the old matter has been brought up again, Shen Baolan naturally would not admit it in front of the whole village.

"Stop talking nonsense! I don't care if Shen Mingzhu falls into the water. Shen Hongmei, it's up to you if you want to be a loyal dog, but stop biting people, or I'll be rude to you."

Shen Hongmei refused to give in. "Shen Baolan, do you dare to swear on your child that you did not deliberately cause Mingzhu to fall into the water? I dare you. If I, Shen Hongmei, say anything wrong about you, Shen Baolan, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

Shen Baolan was stunned and her face turned red. Just at this moment, the baby in her arms started crying loudly. She immediately wanted to slip away under the pretext of going home to breastfeed.

Shen Mingzhu didn't want to let the other party get away so easily.

"Thanks to your help, Pei Yang and I are a perfect match and are living a happy life now."

Shen Mingzhu's words were undoubtedly murderous.

Shen Baolan left with her son in her arms, her face gloomy. Her desolate back looked like a dog that had lost a fight.

As for Shen Goudan's family, under the criticism and education of the village chief, they gave up the idea of ​​claiming compensation from Shen Mingzhu and took their son away.

The matter has come to an end.

But Qin Jinlian was extremely dissatisfied, thinking that Shen Mingzhu had ruined the festive atmosphere of the day, and she angrily complained, "Today is your second brother's wedding, why don't you just stay at home and make trouble to piss me off? Fortunately, you didn't break the baby, otherwise I'll see how you'll end up!"

"What are you talking about? Dequan didn't say anything bad about Zhu, so just shut up."

After Shen Jianguo finished scolding his wife, he turned to Shen Mingzhu and put on a friendly attitude, "Ignore your mother, she's just a nagging person. If you want sour dates, I'll pick them for you after the banquet this afternoon. You can pick as many as you want."

"Thank you, Dad."

Shen Jianguo showed a simple smile on his weather-beaten face, and turned around to invite the villagers and guests to take a seat.

After such a commotion, and the fact that the big bowl of rural food didn't taste very good, Shen Mingzhu put down her chopsticks after taking two bites, and went outside to get some fresh air, using the excuse of going to the toilet.

When I went out, I found that there were more than a dozen children gathered outside, each holding a yellow sour jujube in their hands.

Seeing her come out, the children gathered around her.

"Aunt San, here are some sour dates for you."

“I picked this.”

Looking at the innocent and childish faces of the children, Shen Mingzhu was suddenly moved.

She originally thought that after Goudan fell from the tree, the children in the village would more or less blame her and complain about her, believing that she was the cause of Goudan's misfortune.

But it turned out that she was just being mean.

She took the children to the village chief's house, registered them one by one, and then went back to the city to buy pencils and exercise books and had them sent back.

"Uncle Dequan, thank you for what you did earlier."

Shen Dequan is a year older than Shen Jianguo. His face, weathered by wind and frost, is like old tree bark, and is covered with deep and shallow grooves.

But the look in his eyes when he looked at Shen Mingzhu was particularly kind, and his tone was full of emotion, "Mingzhu, uncle really didn't expect that among so many kids in Shenjiagou, you would be the most promising one."

"I am old and I don't have much ability. The future of Shenjiagou depends on you young people."

Not long after she walked out of the village chief's house, she met Pei Yang who came out in a hurry to look for her.

"Where have you been?"

Seeing her, Pei Yang grabbed her.
