"That's right, you're the ones who wanted to build this wall, what does it have to do with my family? Why should you build this big wall in front of my house? Aren't you bullying me?"
The village chief was also enraged: "You surnamed Su, don't forget this is Yue Shang Village, not just your village. Since you're unwilling to pay this money, don't blame us for isolating you."
"I've never seen anyone so shameless. You clearly have plenty of money; spending a little to build a large courtyard wall would benefit the whole village. Yet you're being so stingy. It seems you haven't lost any children, have you?"
"When your child goes missing, it will be too late for regrets. Don't blame us villagers for not helping you then!"
"Yes, we're all from the same village, yet you've acted so disgracefully. Don't ever ask us for help with anything your Su family needs in the future!"
"It's strange, really. Your Su family is quite peculiar. Every single one of you stays at home and doesn't go out to find work or earn any money. Yet you all seem to have so much money and never worry about food or drink. I wonder where all this money comes from!"
"Could it be that he's been doing something shady outside, which is why he has so much money he can't spend?"
"That's true. Over the years, I've only seen their family living a leisurely life, eating and drinking at home and lacking nothing, but I've never seen them earn money. Could it be that they're really doing something bad outside?"
Someone raised this question, and everyone suddenly realized what was going on, whispering among themselves.
“You’re talking nonsense, you’re utterly talking nonsense! So what if my family is rich? So what if we don’t want to go out and work? I think you’re just jealous.”
"That's right, who told us to be rich while they can only envy us and gossip about us!"
Everyone was furious at the Su family's attitude, since they were unwilling to get involved in anything, big or small, in the Su family's village. Now that the village needed a wall built, which would benefit them, they were unwilling to pay for it and were even obstructing the project in every way possible. No one could tolerate this.
"Stop wasting time talking to them. I suspect they've been doing something shady outside. Let's arrest the entire Su family right now!"
"Yes, yes, we must thoroughly investigate what heinous things the Su family has done behind the scenes!"
"Boss Su, what happened to the child you brought back more than 20 years ago?" Suddenly, an old man stood up, holding a cane and with a cloth wrapped around his head, staring straight at Boss Su.
Su Laoda's expression turned rather unpleasant due to their speculation. He had been suppressing his anger, but when someone suddenly asked him about it, his hand trembled slightly as he looked at the person who had approached him.
The villagers were also a little surprised when they heard what the old man said, and they also turned their attention to Su Laoda.
"Hey, Granny Wu, what nonsense are you spouting? When did I ever hold a child?"
"Hmph! 26 years ago, I saw you bring a child back from outside with my own eyes. The child was crying loudly, and the report was all about wearing fine clothes and silks."
Back then, your family wasn't this wealthy; you were struggling to make ends meet. But after that child appeared, your family changed. Not only your family changed, but the second and third sons of the Su family changed too. Could there really be something fishy going on behind the scenes?
"Could they actually be doing some shady business behind the scenes?"
"No wonder they refused when we said we wanted to repair the courtyard walls to protect the whole village; it turns out they were involved in some kind of child trafficking business behind the scenes!"
The villagers talked as if they had really seen it, and the faces of Su Laoda and Su Laoer became extremely ugly. If you looked closely, you could see that their hands were trembling slightly.
"Customs declaration is mandatory. We need to investigate not only where they've gotten all the food and drink they've consumed over the past 20 years, but also whether they've actually done anything so heinous!"
After someone in the crowd angrily uttered those words, some people prepared to leave.
The Su family members were startled when they saw this scene and immediately hid behind the two people, speaking cautiously.
"Fine, fine... you want to fix it, right? Then fix it however you want, my family won't pay a single penny!"
After saying this, Su Laoda left the scene angrily, and Su Lao Er also glared fiercely at the group of people before leaving.
Seeing that they were no longer obstructing them, the villagers decided not to argue with them anymore and began to excitedly practice their skills.
However, the wall still came over from where the Su family's door was, leaving them only a small path. When the high wall was built, it almost covered half of their gate.
Originally, carriages could pass through, but now that the courtyard wall has been built, carriages can no longer enter his house.
The Su family was also furious, but they dared not continue to make trouble.
The relationship between Su Laosan and Su Jie, the eldest and second eldest, was not good. They would only get together when it was time to divide the money, and they would never be together at other times.
Because he took the money without hesitation this time, it had nothing to do with him, so he wasn't worried about anything.
The fact that both the eldest and second eldest Su families had such large, powerful carriages at their gates, yet they couldn't get in, was a real headache for them. However, they quickly came up with a solution.
So while they were resting in their courtyard, they changed the direction of their front gate and hired many workers who were busy at work.
The villagers were already furious that his family was unwilling to pay for repairs to their courtyard wall, so they kept an eye on them. In addition, since everyone had said such hurtful things during their last argument, they were always looking for something to do to embarrass them.
When villagers discovered that the Su family had expanded their land behind their house, preparing to build a gate there, and most importantly, that the land behind their house wasn't even theirs, yet they had openly occupied it, the villagers immediately protested.
We're all from the same village. They have to pay to buy a place if they want to. Why is the Su family so arrogant, taking over places just like that?
The news quickly reached the village chief's ears, as he was busy with the workers and many villagers were helping out.
Upon hearing that the Su family had done such a shameless thing, everyone immediately became enraged and grabbed their weapons, charging towards the rear.
