When Village Chief Xu saw that Aunt Wei had admitted that she was the rumormonger and that Ke was the instigator, he clasped his hands together and bowed to Yang Xiaoxian.
"Granduncle Yang, I think you now know what happened. In fact, the whole thing between Jiaying and me was caused by Mrs. Ke and Mrs. Wei. Their behavior of destroying people's reputation is really abominable.
Uncle Yang...how do you think we should deal with these two people?"
When Mrs. Ke and Aunt Wei heard that they were going to be punished, they both knelt down in front of Yang Xiaoxian.
Mrs. Ke cried with tears and snot.
"Uncle, please have mercy on me. I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. I was really bewildered. Please forgive me this time. Next time... I won't dare to do it again..."
Aunt Wei was immediately panicked when she heard this. She knew that Ke and Yang Xiaoxian were related as uncles, and she was worried that Yang Xiaoxian would only help Ke and not herself.
To protect herself, Aunt Wei could only shirk responsibility and said, "Uncle Yang, I actually have no grudge against the eldest daughter of the Shu family. The reason I spread rumors behind her back was because Ke bribed me with money. If we are both guilty, Ke is the principal offender, and I can only be considered an accomplice. If you let her go, you must also let me go. You can't be partial!"
"Uncle, don't listen to Wei's nonsense. It's Wei... Wei who is the main culprit. I... I just paid a few cents. Who made her so stupid?"
"What? You said I'm stupid? You evil woman, you've already harmed your stepdaughter, and now you want to harm me? I'll beat you to death!"
"I'm going to beat you to death, you stupid woman."
As they were talking, Mrs. Ke and Aunt Wei started to fight with each other. Yang Xiaoxian was so angry when he saw them like this that he blew his beard.
"That's enough, you two are almost old enough to be buried together, and now you are fighting in front of the younger generation, don't you think it's embarrassing enough?
Stop it... Stop it now!"
With a loud roar, Ke and Wei were stunned where they were.
Yang Xiaoxian looked at Shu Jiaying with a shrewd look again, and finally he cleared his throat.
"Well, fellow villagers, Aunt Yang is right. If we go by seniority, I am indeed Ke's great uncle. Since I have this kind of kinship with the Ke family, I am afraid it would be unfair if I were to handle this matter myself.
Let’s just do this… Jiaying is the person involved in this matter, so let’s ask her how she should deal with the rumors spread by her mother and Aunt Wei.
Jiaying, before you deal with this matter, I want you to think about this: your biological mother is not as old as your adoptive mother. Your mother... is the one who raised you!"
He deliberately pronounced the word "mother" very clearly. If Shu Jiaying still didn't understand what Yang Xiaoxian meant, then she was really stupid.
Yang Xiaoxian's meaning was very clear. He was reminding Shu Jiaying that no matter what Ke had done to offend her, she was still her mother. So no matter how excessive Ke's actions were, she had to forgive her. This was the role model that women of this era should have.
As for Aunt Wei, Mrs. Ke could forgive her, so she decided to let this old woman go as well.
Hehehe…
Shu Jiaying sneered in her heart. Uncle Yang had a very good plan. She didn't dare to openly protect him, so what was the point of using her, the person involved, to speak up for him?
Oh... forget it. It’s because people here don’t have the final say in this world.
