Seeing the villagers glaring at Luo Dahu, Sister Zhang and Tianxiang didn't dare to take back the money they had paid. They looked at each other and nodded, then they ran away in tacit understanding.
But these two people are suspected of buying and selling small flowers. How can the villagers of Guangming Village let them go?
The young men in the village who heard the news came and captured Sister Zhang and Tianxiang together. When Luo Dahu saw Tianxiang and Sister Zhang being captured, he still stood there in disbelief until some villagers wanted to capture him as well.
Luo Dahu immediately shook off the villagers' hands and protested, "What do you want to do? I haven't done anything wrong. You can't do this to me."
Seeing Luo Dahu looking innocent despite doing something wrong, the villagers were furious. They accused him, "Luo Dahu, you're trying to sell your own niece in order to seize someone else's property. Isn't this just a crime?"
"That's right, we in Guangming Village don't welcome cruel-hearted outsiders like you. Get out of our village as soon as possible."
"Sister-in-law Dong, these people are a great scourge. If we let these three outsiders go, they will definitely do harm to others one day. So we will directly tie them up and bring them to the authorities. This way, we can be said to be eliminating harm for the people."
"Yes, just take him before the authorities. This kind of person won't cry until he sees the coffin."
When Zhang Jie and Tianxiang heard they were going to see the officials, they struggled to escape from the villagers, pleading, "Fellow villagers, we can't see the officials because the crimes you are accusing us of have nothing to do with us."
"Yes, the two of us originally went to Fengyun Town to do some work. Luo Dahu found us and gave us some money, saying that he wanted us to cooperate with him in a play. As long as he could get the house where Xiaohua was living now, he would give Xiaohua to me and make her my real daughter.
My fellow villagers, I am almost 40 years old, but I have no children. When I heard such a good thing, I was really obsessed. So please forgive me. I just wanted a daughter, but now I dare not.
“…”
Hearing this, Sister Zhang was stunned, because she couldn't imagine that Tianxiang could cry so sincerely in order to clear his name?
Sister Zhang had never imagined Tianxiang's acting would be so good. Although she felt a pang of pain, she still took out a tael of silver and handed it to the villagers to cooperate with Tianxiang. She said, "This is the reward Luo Dahu gave us. We don't want it, fellow villagers... Our home is far away in Luannan. We have elderly parents and young children to support, and we are the main laborers in our families. If we are really taken to see the officials, and the county magistrate convicts us, we will not be able to return home, and then our family members who are waiting for us to return to feed them will starve to death..."
So, fellow villagers, my brothers and I are begging you all to forgive us this time. We will behave ourselves and never seek such petty gains again."
"Fellow villagers, please let us go..."
"this……"
Faced with Sister Zhang and Tianxiang crying, the villagers who arrested them began to hesitate. If things were really as they said, and they had families waiting for them to go home for dinner, then arresting these two people and taking them to see the officials would be tantamount to harming their families, and this matter would be difficult to handle.
One of the villagers didn't know what to do, so he looked at Yang Xiaoxian who had rushed from the village after receiving the news.
