Chapter 172: Is this because of drinking?



"Granduncle Yang, you are the most respected person in our village. How do you think we should handle this matter?"

Yang Xiaoxian adjusted his beard and said slowly, "I have always won people over with my virtue, so the villagers hold me in such high esteem and always seek my advice on any important matters. This time, these two outsiders were indeed at fault, but if you put yourself in their shoes, who in the world can resist the temptation of money?"

However, the most commendable thing is that they finally repented. Since they have already handed over the silver that does not belong to them to Guangming Village, and they have a family to support, we can simply let them go. As for the silver, if it is used to benefit the villagers of Guangming Village as a whole, do you have any objections?

Yang Xiaoxian said that he would use the one or two taels of silver to benefit Guangming Village, but in fact, in the end the money would eventually go into his own pocket.

However, Yang Xiaoxian was the most senior person in the village, so no one dared to contradict what he said. So everyone nodded in agreement and said, "What Granduncle Yang said does make sense. So, let these two people go. However, they are not allowed to set foot in Guangming Village again. Otherwise, we will fight them every time we see them."

"That's right! Never let these two people set foot in Guangming Village again, or else I'll beat them to death!"

Seeing that they would be free soon, Sister Zhang and Tianxiang immediately made a promise.

"Don't worry, everyone. After we return to Luannan, we will rarely come out. We will definitely not come to Guangming Village again."

After looking at each other, they ran to Mr. Zhu's boat.

Shu Jiaying knew very well that these two people were human tooth traffickers. If the people of Guangming Village let them go, more innocent people would be harmed by them. She wanted to stand up and object, but Yu Chenfeng held her back.

Yu Chenfeng whispered in Shu Jiaying's ear, "Don't worry about it. These two people can leave Guangming Village, but they definitely can't leave Fengyun Town!"

“…”

Shu Jiaying didn't say anything, but looked at Yu Chenfeng with an inquiring look. When she saw the determination in Yu Chenfeng's eyes, she nodded.

Then the two of them looked towards Luo Dahu along with everyone else.

Seeing dozens of pairs of eyes looking at him at the same time, Luo Dahu panicked. He was about to try to exonerate himself when Zhao Chunlian ran out of the village in a panic holding Luo Xiaoming.

Zhao Chunlian ran while shouting, "Is there a doctor? Someone come and help me check on my son? Hurry... My son is dying..."

Hearing this cry for help, all the villagers except the one who controlled Luo Dahu walked towards Zhao Chunlian.

When everyone saw Luo Xiaoming, whose face had turned pale and gray, in Zhao Chunlian's arms, they all asked worriedly.

"Sister-in-law, how could your son be like this? I think he might not be able to survive any longer."

"It's terrible... something like this has happened, and there's no doctor in our village. I think you'll have to go to Fengyun Town to find a doctor to treat your son. But your son is in this state now, and it's still a question whether he can make it to Fengyun Town. Sigh... this is really troublesome."

"Sister-in-law, yesterday when I saw you bringing your son to the village entrance to buy things, he was fine. How come he became like this overnight? What did you feed him?"

When it comes to food, Zhao Chunlian's first thought is pork knuckle with cartilage powder. But seeing that Shu Jiaying and Xiaohua have woken up, she blurts out, "Wine... Is my son like this because of drinking?"
