Hua Xiao was also angry and anxious. When Hua Li didn't respond for a long time after she asked her questions, she ran over and reached out to pull Hua Li.
Hua Li had a strong reaction to the stress and grabbed the corner of Hua Shi's clothes with one hand and refused to let go.
When Hua Xiao came over to drag him, he shook his head violently, twisted his body, and struggled with all his strength, not letting others touch him, and was very resistant.
Hua Xiao didn't know what was wrong with him. She just stretched out her hand, but it was thrown away. She stared with a confused look on her face, "Hua Li! What are you doing?"
Hua Li buried his head, his eyes red, and still huddled behind Hua Shi, not saying a word. He looked timid, as if he was frightened.
The eldest brother of the Li family waited for a long time, his expression becoming very impatient. "Alright, alright, I've made it clear enough! This brat just stole our sheep, and he's feeling guilty right now, so how can he say anything?"
Hua Xiao gritted his teeth and glared at Hua Li, looking very disappointed in him. He growled, "Hua Li! Why don't you say something? Don't act dumb!"
Hua Shi also looked down at Hua Li who was holding her tightly, patted his head, and whispered, "Hua Li?"
Hua Li kept her head down, refusing to look up or speak. Only one hand was tightly tugging at her sleeve, and her body was still shaking from time to time...
Hua Xiao reached out and pulled him out, forcibly pulling him out, his tone urgent and aggressive, "Why don't you tell me?"
Hua Yu also limped over. His clothes were still wet, with a large patch on his cuffs. His hair was wet and sticky and stuck to one another. He was not in much better shape than Hua Li. He lowered his head, and a gloomy aura enveloped him.
"Hua Li." Hua Yu stretched out a calloused hand, grabbed Hua Li's arm, and pulled him in front of him.
Hua Li's strength to resist was pitifully small under her second brother's hands.
Hua Yu's back was hunched, and his messy black hair covered his dark eyes, which were staring at his brother's red eyes that were crying.
His voice was hoarse and couldn't hide his fatigue, "Hua Li?"
Hua Li bit her lip, her eyes turned red, and she met her second brother's eyes. Under her second brother's questioning gaze, she nodded slightly.
Hua Yu's breath was choked, and his dark pupils seemed to fall into an endless abyss at that moment...
Hua Shi's eyes were always on the two brothers, never moving away. Naturally, he also noticed that Hua Li nodded slightly under Hua Yu's inquiring gaze.
Li Dian, who was standing next to Hua Shi, was also a shrewd person. He seemed to have seen Hua Li nod, so he immediately jumped out and shouted, "I saw it! He nodded! He himself admitted that he stole our sheep! Let's see how you can quibble!"
Li Dian put his hands on his hips, a smug smile on his face.
The eldest brother of the Li family also nodded, and he was getting impatient. He pointed at Hua Shi and the others and said in a loud voice,
"Where are your parents? How can you, a bunch of little kids, make the decision? Getting caught stealing is a big deal! Our village won't tolerate petty thieves like this. If you still refuse to admit your guilt, I'll have someone call the village chief over!"
More and more villagers gathered to watch. When the noise was heard, neighbors came over to watch the fun.
Hua Shi calmed his mind.
When Hua Li nodded in agreement, he roughly guessed the whole story.
"You said Hua Li stole your sheep. Where are the sheep?" Hua Shi asked clearly and calmly.
The eldest brother of the Li family raised his rough eyebrows and said as a matter of course, "Of course we took it back when we found it."
Hua Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, "Since you've taken the sheep back, it means you haven't suffered any loss. My brother did something wrong and you beat him up. He was so scared that he couldn't speak. You taught him a lesson and vented your anger. So I'm here to apologize to you..."
Li Dian, who was standing by, heard that she was trying to fool him and just apologize as if to put the matter behind her. He immediately jumped out and interrupted Hua Shi.
"What's the point of saying apology or not? He stole something and just apologized verbally, and you think he's letting it go? There's no such thing as that!"
Hua Shi knew he was in the wrong and couldn't argue, so he just asked, "So what do you want?"
If the request is reasonable, some compensation is acceptable within the scope of the conditions.
She also didn't expect that Hua Li would steal other people's things...
If Li knew about this, given Li's personality, it would only make things more difficult...
Hua Xiao frowned tightly. After hearing Hua Shi's words, he put the accusation of stealing on Hua Li's head and shrilled, "Hua Shi, what are you doing? He hasn't even admitted to stealing! Why are you speaking for him? What else do you want? This is simply slander! How could Hua Li steal anything?"
Hua Xiao couldn't believe that her twin brother, who was usually honest and hardworking, would steal other people's things. It had never happened before.
Hua Shi frowned slightly and scolded in a low voice, "Don't talk."
Hua Li didn't say anything the whole time, but just nodded in acknowledgment. It was obvious that he had been scolded and was scared so much that he didn't dare to admit it. Now that he knew it, there was no need to keep forcing him to nod in acknowledgment.
If the problem can be solved sooner, solve it sooner rather than later.
Hua Xiao was so angry that her face turned red, and she almost jumped up and down, "Why can't I speak! Hua Li, speak up! If you didn't steal their things, just say it. Why should they wrongly accuse you!"
Hua Xiao couldn't get a response from Hua Shi, so he turned to look at Hua Li, who was crouching like a mushroom, and questioned him in a rather aggressive voice.
