Everyone was stunned when they heard this, as they had never seen the two of them team up to attack Luo Yunhe.
After hearing Zhang Lingling's words, Luo Yunhe's face showed a look of horror, and she even lifted her hair.
"What? You two did what happened that day?" Luo Yunhe said, trying to rush over.
Zhang Lingling quickly hid behind Su Jingxing.
"Yes, who told you to be so arrogant and domineering? You smashed my renovated room to pieces, so I had to get revenge. I didn't expect you to be so ruthless, actually slapping Ruyi's face like this..." Zhang Lingling became more and more indignant as she spoke.
"Village chief, I was indeed beaten up by someone for no reason a couple of days ago. The other party even used despicable means to drug me and then attacked me while I was unconscious."
The reason I covered my face with a cloth for those two days was because my face was covered in bruises from being slapped.
But I didn't know who was targeting me, so I kept it to myself.
But I never expected it to be them.
They actually used drugs! Look at this, everyone! They've completely corrupted the atmosphere of Yue Shang Village.
They beat me up just because they didn't like me. What if one day any of you offend him and he starts making trouble for you again? You could sell your daughters and no one would even know...
Luo Yunhe's words made the faces of the surrounding villagers turn extremely ugly. Just as she said, if they ever really offended the Su family, they could use the same methods to drug their daughters and take them to some remote corner, and who knows what might happen there...
The more people thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
They are all simple, honest people who would never resort to such despicable means. Now that something like this has happened in the village, how could they not be afraid?
"Village chief, this is far too serious. Let's report this to the authorities. They've committed such a heinous act; they must be severely punished..."
"Yes, report it to the authorities. The Su family is truly despicable..."
"Send them to the authorities and put them in jail..."
The villagers were furious.
Luo Yunhe never expected that her words would successfully anger the villagers.
Zhang Lingling never expected that her words, intended to bring Luo Yunhe down, would not only fail to bring him down but would instead be bitten back by him once again, leaving her face extremely pale.
“Jingxing, your wife’s actions are unethical. Such dirty tricks are not allowed in our village. Your wife has brought in such dirty methods. What do you suggest we do?”
When Su Jingxuan heard his wife's words, he didn't initially sense anything amiss. However, after hearing Luo Yunhe's words, he knew something was wrong, especially seeing how angry the villagers were. He knew this was a serious matter.
"Village chief, although it is indeed a bit inappropriate to use drugs to knock out the other party, it was also my wife's first time doing it. If she wasn't extremely angry, who would do such a thing?"
After all, our newly renovated room was indeed smashed up by my sister-in-law, and we still need to spend a lot of money on renovations. Isn't it understandable that my wife is angry?
If this happened in your family, wouldn't you be angry?
Besides, how could we possibly do such a thing to others? Don't listen to others' attempts to sow discord! Su Jingxing was also a skilled debater.
The village chief fell silent...
"Sister-in-law, we are still family. Even though you have been separated from your family, we have never treated you as an outsider."
My wife did do something wrong, but it's all in the past. And it was wrong of you to lay a hand on your younger sister either. Don't you admit that?
"What do I admit? I was beaten so badly that day that I didn't even know who hit me, so how could I have the heart to seek revenge on Su Ruyi?"
Given my personality, if anyone hit me like that, and I knew who it was, I would definitely get revenge that very day.
How could we possibly wait until yesterday? Do you think we're as leisurely as you, with food and drink at home?
We were kicked out by you. I still have to work hard in the fields every day, build a house, and take care of your brother. But what about you?
As parents, as a younger brother, as a younger sister, haven't you all been provided for by Su Jingxuan since you were little? Why don't you go and see him?
Don't be so heartless. If you want to pin this on me, at least provide some evidence.
"Besides, if your wife hadn't brought this up today, I really wouldn't have known it was the two of them who did it!" Luo Yunhe said resentfully.
Although the bruises on her face have subsided considerably in the past two days, some are still noticeable upon closer inspection.
Su Jingxuan was speechless after Luo Yunhe's words and didn't know how to refute them for a moment.
"Village chief, I swear I didn't cause Su Ruyi's injury, but I did indeed lose 50 taels of silver. You must help me with this!"
For a moment, even the village chief didn't know how to handle the dispute.
Luo Yunhe could also see that the village chief didn't know how to solve the problem, so she offered a new idea.
"Su Ruyi, you said you were beaten up and your head turned into a pig's head. What did the other person use to hit you?"
Despite her fear of Luo Yunhe, Su Ruyi's eyes remained fixed on her: "Isn't what you're saying obvious? My face is all slapped like this, what else could I use to hit you? Of course, my hands!"
"Well, since the person who hit you used their hand, they must have some injuries on their hand to have managed to beat you like this. Even if there aren't any injuries, there should at least be some redness and swelling, right?"
Luo Yun raised his hands and twirled them in front of everyone. His hands were calloused from years of hard work.
But her hands looked perfectly normal, with no signs of redness or swelling, which was clear to everyone.
"As you can see, apart from some calluses from working, there are no other marks on my hands. If I were really the one who hit him, my hands would definitely be red and swollen now."
But my hand isn't swollen. Does that mean I didn't hit Su Ruyi's face?
The villagers nodded one by one.
The village chief also realized: "It seems this has nothing to do with Jingxuan's wife!"
"Village chief, Su Ruyi ran into my house and ransacked my things. This definitely happened. Why don't we find someone to investigate the scene and see if there are any traces of Su Ruyi, especially around my thatched hut!"
Upon hearing Luo Yunhe's words, Su Ruyi's expression changed.
