After paying, Luo Yunhe took the large bag of nails with her.
She hurried toward Moonlit Village.
As she stepped into the village, a man rushed toward her.
However, just as he was about to reach her, the man suddenly stopped, as if a ferocious beast was standing in front of him, making him afraid to approach easily.
"Is something the matter?" Luo Yunhe looked at the man in front of her with a puzzled expression. He kept a distance of about two meters from her, and his face showed hesitation and unease. Obviously, he had something important to tell her.
After hesitating for a moment, the man finally mustered up his courage and said, "Yes, it's the village chief who's looking for you..."
Upon hearing this, Luo Yunhe's heart sank, but she still politely replied, "Oh, thank you!"
The man took a deep breath and continued, "That's...it's in the village's ancestral hall!"
Luo Yunhe raised her eyebrows, understanding that if the matter was being handled in the village's ancestral hall, then it must be no small matter.
Moreover, judging from the man's expression, something significant must have happened in the village.
Luo Yunhe quickly thought about it and soon guessed what might have happened.
So she followed the man toward the village ancestral hall, preparing to face the challenges ahead.
Ancestral Hall in Yue Shang Village.
The villagers gathered in layers at the entrance of the ancestral hall, while shouts echoed from inside the courtyard.
As soon as Luo Yunhe and the man arrived, the sharp howl rang out, causing Luo Yunhe to raise her eyebrows slightly. However, she calmly pushed through the crowd and walked in.
When the villagers saw her, they all started whispering among themselves, their quiet murmurs rising behind her.
"Village chief, you were looking for me!"
As soon as her voice rang out, Su Chenshi, who was howling, turned her head fiercely, got up from the ground, and charged towards Luo Yunhe.
"You damned little bitch, how dare you lay such a cruel hand on my daughter! I will never let you get away with this today!"
Su Chenshi bared her teeth and claws, reaching out to tear at Luo Yunhe, and even raised her hand to slap her face.
She was so fast that the surrounding villagers didn't even have time to react or stop her.
Luo Yunhe raised her foot and kicked Su Chenshi hard in the stomach.
"You crazy woman, are you insane?" Luo Yunhe looked at her with disgust.
"You, you damned little bitch, you slut, you beat my daughter like this, have you no shame?"
Look at this, everyone! How cruel this damned little bitch is! She actually beat my daughter so badly she's disfigured.
"You must stand up for me, Village Chief! Get that damned little golden man out of here! Our Moonlit Village can't have such a vicious person! My Ruyi was perfectly fine, and look what he's done to her! Look at her like that!"
While being arrogant, Madam Su removed the slap from Su Ruyi's face. When everyone saw that his face had been slapped so hard it looked like a pig's head, they all gasped in shock.
Everyone looked at each other, too afraid to step out, lest they inadvertently offend Luo Yunhe and end up with this kind of look on their faces.
"Waaaaah... You have to stand up for me..." Su Ruyi could barely speak, and drool kept dripping from her mouth as she spoke.
His eyes were swollen from crying.
“Village chief, this matter must be severely punished! My sister-in-law was beaten up like this for no reason, and we can’t let her off so easily. If you don’t handle this matter well, I will go directly to the yamen to report her!” Zhang Lingling also spoke up.
When she saw Su Ruyi's face had become like this, her heart trembled.
She remembered how Luo Yunhe had been beaten like a pig's head by the two of them not long ago, and now looking at Su Ruyi, she knew perfectly well that this must be Luo Yunhe's revenge.
Luo Yunhe rolled her eyes at them before turning her gaze to the village chief.
"Village chief, what exactly happened? What does her turning into a pig's head have to do with me?" Luo Yunhe asked, surprising everyone.
Her words made everyone around her burst into laughter, but they quickly fell silent, which infuriated Su Ruyi so much that she felt like fainting.
"You wretch! You're the one who hit my daughter yesterday. Look what you've done to her! You have to pay us 100 taels of silver in compensation!"
Otherwise, I'll never let this go!
Luo Yunhe: "..."
"Girl, is this related to you? Did you do it?"
Luo Yunhe: "...Tsk! She's turned into a pig's head and she's blaming me for it. What if she breaks her leg one day? Will she blame me for that too?"
Village chief, as you know, I'm busy all day long, where would I find the time to provoke them?
Besides, she claims I hit her, what proof does she have?
"What other evidence do you need? You had the village chief bring me back those 20 loads of grain yesterday, and then you beat my Ruyi that night. It's clearly retaliation against us."
"You're just retaliating against me for giving you 20 loads of soaking wet grain!" Su Chenshi said viciously.
"Yes, this woman is ruthless. To beat an unmarried young girl like this shows how cruel she is. What evidence do we need? Ruyi herself is a witness!"
"No, that's right, it's her..."
"Hehe! I'm busy in the vineyard all day, and the villagers who pass by can see it. In the evening, I go directly to town to take care of Su Jingxuan."
You say I hit you? Do you think you can pin this on me with just your words? Do you think the officials will believe you without any proof?
Luo Yunhe rolled her eyes at them before turning her gaze to the village chief: "Village chief, fellow villagers, although we haven't known each other for very long, you can all see that I don't provoke others unless they provoke me."
Besides, Su Jingxuan has been lying in the town clinic the whole time, and his parents haven't even gone to see him once. I don't understand what kind of mentality they had when they did such a thing.
But I also understand. After all, my husband can't earn money anymore, so it's understandable that they would do such a heartless thing when there's nothing for them to gain.
However, I do not accept the claim that Su Ruyi was beaten! If it really comes to the authorities, I am happy to accompany them.
Her powerful words not only exposed the family's cold-bloodedness but also made it clear that she had nothing to do with the matter, and that she was willing to cooperate if they really wanted to get to the bottom of it.
